"Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere!"
Asuma's hands moved swiftly as he gathered Chakra and performed Wind Release Nature Transformation, firing streams of transparent air blasts at Obito.
"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!"
Obito gathered a large amount of Chakra in his throat, performed Fire Release Chakra Nature Transformation, and spat out fireballs one after another.

The air blasts and fireballs collided continuously, exploding as both moved while maintaining their Chakra output. The field was soon littered with small craters.
Obito's fireballs surpassed Asuma's Vacuum Spheres in both power and number. Before long, Asuma was caught in an explosion and suffered a minor injury.
