Sasuke Shinden: Book of Sunrise
During the attack on the Bamboo Village by exploding humans, Iō was outside confronting them after having directed the others to get the women and children to safety. Sasuke Uchiha appears and Iō, believing him to be an enemy, has Chino and Nowaki attack him. Sasuke avoids their attacks and deals with the exploding humans. Iō, worried about his daughter, runs toward the shelter. Amino, now an exploding human, walks out and stabs herself in the neck causing a fiery explosion. Iō, blaming Fūshin for what has happened, runs after her into the flames, dying in the process.
