Pakura was not about to let such a good opportunity slip away. With her left hand, the one without a kunai, she hurled fireballs at Juzo Biwa again and again.
Juzo Biwa's pupils contracted.
He was airborne and could hardly dodge. All he could do was block with the Kubikiribōchō.

Juzo Biwa did not try to keep fighting. He
