On our way from the tengu mountain west of here to the youkai mountain in the east

our tengu fighting squad came under sudden attack by Daidara.

She was even bigger than what you just saw.

Seeing that our squad had been wiped out, she returned to mist...

but I controlled the wind to disperse her body and stop her recovery, sealing her in this area.

...But why did she turn back to mist

when you were still alive?

She's returned to that full size while I was on my way over here.
