Chapter 13 of the Steam Ninja Scrolls manga sees Mirai turn Ryuki's blood-based curse against him. Backed by Kakashi and Guy and armed with research into Hidan, she slips past the Jashin ritual, only for the cornered cultist to seize a new victim.
Summary
Ryuki tries to halt his own arrest by threatening to kill the captives he has gathered. Before Mirai can decide how to respond, Kakashi and Guy arrive, swiftly cutting down his followers and freeing the prisoners. Puzzled about how they located her, Mirai learns that Kakashi set one of his ninken on her trail. She then closes in on Ryuki and, without realizing it, steps into the Jashin symbol he has laid out on the ground.
Key Events
Drinking blood he had taken when he wounded her earlier, Ryuki activates his blood-manipulating curse technique, and despite Kakashi's shout of warning, Mirai appears to fall dead. The moment proves to be an illusion. Mirai explains that the blood he used was actually iron-rich hot-spring water she had collected with Tatsumi, a trick she devised after studying how Hidan's Jashin rituals depend on real blood.
Notes
Unable to touch Mirai in a straight fight, a desperate Ryuki grabs Tatsumi, consumes her blood, and reactivates the curse to puppet her against Mirai. The chapter is part of the Konoha Shinden: Steam Ninja Scrolls manga and appears in its second volume. It showcases how Mirai's preparation and knowledge of past Jashin worshippers let her counter a technique built on stolen blood.
