A Draw? Leopard Cat Tribe Leader Chikata

When the blood-red gleam of Toga's Tetsusaiga collided head-on with Chiyo's dark crimson blade light, the entire Martial Arts Arena fell into an eerie silence.

It was not that there was no sound.

On the contrary, the thunderous collision was deafening, and the energy shockwave spread in all directions like a tsunami.

The protective barrier maintained by the three Elders groaned under the strain, dense cracks appearing across its surface.

Yet everyone's senses were flooded by those two extreme blade lights in that instant, to the point that their hearing seemed to temporarily fail.

A second wave of impact erupted from the center of the collision. This time, the protective barrier could no longer hold and shattered with a crash!

"Not good!"

Inuzuka Retsu's expression changed drastically.

The Clan Members in the stands retreated in terror, but the shockwave had already swept toward them!

She stood at the front of the stands, a gentle purple glow radiating from her body. That light curtain was formed from her Demonic Power.

The shockwave struck the purple curtain, sending ripples across it, but it was ultimately blocked.

Smoke and dust filled the arena.
