"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
Uchiha Kirito took a deep breath and spat out a fireball. Crimson flames streaked through the air toward a rooftop.
A figure flashed, and a cold, beautiful woman landed on the ground. Her blood-red eyes opened, and with a wave of her hands, countless tiny blood blades scattered through the sky.
"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"
A violent gale swept forth, forming a hazy wall of wind before Tong Ren. The blood blades swayed incessantly in the surging airflow, tilting like fallen leaves. As the wind intensified, they were soon shredded into tiny droplets of blood and blown away.
Orochimaru appeared behind Tong Ren. With a flick of his sleeve, three spinning shuriken tore through the air!
"Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"
"Fire Style—" Uchiha Nen had waited for this opportunity for a long time. He opened his mouth and exhaled, a tongue of flame sweeping over the swarm of shuriken and setting every one ablaze. "Phoenix Sage Fire Technique: Claw Crimson!"
The woman's vision blurred, and she was instantly engulfed by a dense rain of shuriken. Firelight illuminated her panicked face. The next second, she would be riddled with holes.
She curled up and raised her arms to shield her vital points as best she could, allowing the shuriken to rain down upon her.
"Ssh!"
"Ssh, ssh, ssh!"
Wounds immediately appeared all over her body—her arms, thighs, and the side of her chest crisscrossed with bloody gashes as warm blood splattered out.
"Brats, you forced me to do this!"
She gritted her teeth and activated her eye technique. Blood from all over her body gathered before her, and as her eyes emitted a horrifying blood-red glow, a sharp blood spear pierced through every shuriken and shot forward, so fast there was no time to react!
