The rain of paper struck the lava wall.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
The paper instantly corroded, turning into a sticky puddle that dripped onto the beach.
Konan frowned slightly.
What a powerful kekkei genkai.
But the corners of her lips lifted.
Paper Release's strength lay not in head-on clashes.
"Paper Release: Paper Binding Technique!"

Mei Terumi looked down, and her expression changed sharply!
She can control... even the scraps?!
