Chapter 14 of the Konoha Shinden: Steam Ninja Scrolls manga has Mirai break Ryūki's control over Tatsumi with a new wind technique. The clash forces her to confront the same doubt that drives her enemy: what a shinobi is worth in an age of peace.
Summary
Mirai holds off Tatsumi's assault while refusing to strike back hard, wary of hurting the controlled girl. Watching nearby, Kakashi and Guy note that shattering the doll Ryūki carries would sever his Body Controlling Manipulated Blood, but a fresh wave of Jashin followers keeps them from doing it. Searching for an answer, Mirai remembers the Wind Release lessons Temari once gave her.
Key Events
Channeling that training through her Chakra Blades, Mirai unleashes the Wind Release: Whirlwind Fist, a burst of air that pushes Tatsumi safely aside before slamming into Ryūki and smashing his doll. He drags himself upright, still bent on reaching immortality despite the loss. When Mirai asks why he idolises Hidan so fiercely, Ryūki laments their tranquil era and how small it has made them beside those who came before.
Aftermath
His words echo Mirai's own private worry, the nagging question of what role a shinobi fills once the fighting stops. As Ryūki lunges one final time to kill Tatsumi, Mirai finds a measure of peace by cutting him down to shield the girl. The chapter is part of the Konoha Shinden: Steam Ninja Scrolls run, collected in volume 2.
