I Stand at the Forefront of Popularity Supremacy

Sparkle raised her leg and opened it to a full one hundred and eighty degrees.

Then she slammed it down hard—

Such an Elegant Battle!

Boom!

The ice surface exploded the instant Sparkle's toes landed.

No, it had not exploded.

Countless ice crystals had begun to grow the instant Sparkle smashed down her blade.

Those wildly growing ice crystals made it seem as though the ground had been shattered open.

The ice crystals became blooming ice flowers, racing all the way toward Kakuzu and Hidan.

Wind Style: Crushing Pressure!

Kakuzu was highly experienced in battle. The moment he saw Sparkle raise her foot, he had already begun forming hand seals.

A high-pressure wind sphere exploded ahead, smashing all the ice flowers to pieces.

"You really don't appreciate elegance, do you?"

Hidan's scythe came at Sparkle, grazing past the tips of her hair.

Sparkle leaned back, her toes scraping along Kakuzu's arm as they continued upward in an arc.

Then she twisted her body, and her blade struck the scythe again.

Fire Style: Head Engraving Suffering!
