But just then, a figure leaped onto the scythe, kicked it flying with one foot, and then sent Hidan himself soaring into the distance.
"Sparkle...!"
Kira's entire face lit up.
"Another one, huh? But no matter how many of you there are, it makes no difference to me."
Hidan laughed wildly.
"No, we can burn you away." Sparkle said. "Amaterasu is an inextinguishable flame. I'm quite curious what will happen when eternal fire meets an immortal body."
"But Amaterasu..." Kira's eyes widened.
Amaterasu was indeed effective, but not quite effective enough.
"Kira," Sparkle said, biting open the strap fastening her sleeve and revealing her palm. "Take my hand."
"Okay!"
Without the slightest hesitation.
Kira immediately grabbed Sparkle's hand.
Then, Kira felt as though their Chakra was undergoing some kind of transformation.
"Someone from the Yamanaka Clan would be much more convenient at a time like this—but we've both been infused with Dragon's Heritage Power, so by blending it together, we can synchronize our Chakra."
With the Yamanaka Clan's secret techniques, this would indeed have been much easier, but then there would have been no drama.
And drama was exactly what Sparkle needed right now.
"Then let me see it—!"
Hidan revealed a savage grin.
Meanwhile, Sparkle and Kira moved together.
"Don't let go of my hand!"
"Okay!"
Using Kira as a pivot, Sparkle's entire body was nearly flung through the air.
Doing this was extremely dangerous, because it was nearly impossible to change direction.
But with Kira pulling her along, she could evade Hidan's attacks.
After the fight changed from one-on-one to a righteous two-on-one, the tide of battle clearly began to turn.
However, Hidan did not panic. Instead, he began fighting a battle of attrition.
A battle of attrition was his advantage.
As long as this continued... as long
