The next instant, Pakura's figure abruptly vanished.
Boom!
The two appeared on opposite sides of the open field almost simultaneously, moving so fast it dazzled the eye.
Pakura raised a hand, and four blazing fireballs followed her like shadows, circling behind her.
Whenever Kiyoshi drew near, he could feel a scorching heat that seemed capable of completely evaporating the moisture within a human body.
Kiyoshi formed the hand seals for Fire Release and exhaled. "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique."
A massive fireball burst from Kiyoshi's mouth, unleashing a terrifying wave of heat.
"Fire Release? It's useless against me!"
She shouted softly, "Scorch Release: Over Steam Kill!"
Several fireballs spun continuously, merging into one enormous fireball.
Boom!
The two fireballs collided, and Kiyoshi's Great Fireball was immediately forced to a halt in midair.
Moments later, a blast of air erupted, but Pakura's fireball continued hurtling toward Kiyoshi.
Kiyoshi dodged the attack. The fireball struck the dirt behind him, exploding into a patch of scorched earth.
"Scorch Release's temperature is higher than Fire Release's."
His black hair whipped in the searing wind, while his Uchiha robe billowed and rose with the heat.
That was only natural. Kiyoshi's "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique" used only the single Chakra nature transformation of "fire."
But Scorch Release used not only Fire Release Chakra, but also Wind Release Chakra. Combining Chakra of those two differing natures created a new Chakra nature transformation—the so-called Kekkei Genkai.
"And the Uchiha dare call themselves the clan that commands flames?"
Pakura chuckled.
As a true-blooded Sunagakure native, she had always despised those Konoha ninja who plundered vast resources and lived in the fertile Land of Fire.
Kiyoshi did not respond, instead controlling his body as he retreated.
Seeing Kiyoshi at a disadvantage, Pakura immediately pursued him.
The two fought farther
