Under Kukaku Shiba's control, the Shiba Clan's special Kido ignited fierce flames beneath the Kakkaku Cannon's base. The flames circled the barrel once, and with a thunderous boom that rang through the Shiba estate, a transparent shell was fired from the cannon.
Smoke spread through the Shiba estate. Kukaku scratched her head awkwardly. "I got a little too excited. Seems I put a bit too much force into it."
The base of the Kakkaku Cannon before Kukaku had been shaken apart. The Kido she had unleashed this time was extraordinarily powerful, and the cannonball it fired was likewise far stronger than usual.
