The fine sand scattered across the sky wove into a canopy, leaving those outside able to see only two blurry figures within.
Countless needles of varying lengths condensed from sand, sharp at both ends and gleaming with a dull black sheen. Every tip was aimed at the pink figure in the center.
Seeing this dense barrage threatening her, Gion was startled. Her opponent could actually control sand grains with such precision!
"But I'm faster than you!"
Gritting her teeth, Gion drove the Haki within her body. Faced with the violent assault, she had no intention of changing tactics.
