"Tch, troublesome Fire Release." A shook his leg, the contempt in his eyes fading a little, replaced by a more serious fighting spirit. "Looks like I'll have to get serious to swat a fly like you!"
He growled, and the lightning around him grew denser, as though a pale blue Chakra Cloak had covered his body. His speed and strength rose again!
He became a true bolt of blue lightning, circling Shinji at speeds almost impossible to follow with the naked eye and attacking from every direction!
Fists, feet, elbows, knees-every part of his body became a deadly weapon, wreathed in lightning that could tear through anything.
"Lightning Release: Liger Bomb!" He gathered lightning chakra in his elbow and delivered a powerful strike.
Facing this storm of attacks, Shinji pushed the combination of his Sharingan's perception and his own combat intuition to its limits.
He twisted and darted within a tiny space, the long blade of Blazing Inferno becoming a blur of crimson light as he blocked, redirected, and counterattacked at precise angles.
Blade light and lightning silhouettes collided again and again. Every exchange unleashed a deafening crash and a burst of energy, leaving the ground at the valley entrance in ruins.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!" Seizing an opening, Shinji formed hand seals with one hand and spat out a compressed, blazing-white fireball-not to attack directly, but to block A's path.
A moved incredibly fast, narrowly skimming past the edge of the fireball. The heat stung his exposed skin, and a lock of hair at his temple curled and browned.
He roared, growing even more enraged.
"Uchiha Style: Sword Leap Flame!" Shinji changed his sword stance. His long blade surged with flames and thrust straight toward A's throat like a venomous snake striking from its hole.
A reacted instantly.
