Chapter 111
Hyuga Chinano vs. Aburame Hatsuizumi
The two figures clashed violently, their impact sending shockwaves through the air and kicking up dust from the ground.
This wasn't just a simple physical collision—unlike some other shinobi, their bodies weren't built for brute force. Instead, it was their weapons that clashed.
On Hyuga Chinano's side, she wielded a black-and-white bo staff, its surface covered in soft white fur, with faint black lines running through the section she gripped. The ends of the staff were a deep gray-black, perfectly sized for her to hold with both hands. This was the weapon transformation of her panda summon, Momohiko.
Aburame Hatsuizumi's weapon, on the other hand, was unusual. She held a small shield, adorned with a pattern reminiscent of the Taijitu (Yin-Yang symbol), though its colors alternated between green and yellow. At its center, a sharp thorn protruded unnaturally, hinting at its origins from the Spring and Autumn Period.
Their deadlock didn't last long. Chinano was the first to notice something wrong—Hatsuizumi's shield was absorbing Momohiko's chakra. She could feel the summon weakening. Without hesitation, she flipped backward, retreating while drawing the pistol holstered at her waist. As she landed, she fired off a shot.
Hatsuizumi, having taken a hit earlier, didn't stand idle. The moment her feet touched the ground, she formed dozens of chakra bullets, launching them in an elegant, rapid barrage.
At first glance, the bullets seemed similar to her previous shots, but there was a critical difference—their colors hinted at unique properties.
Each bullet was infused with a different elemental nature, making them miniature ninjutsu in their own right.
Blue bullets carried swirling water currents, with razor-thin water needles hidden inside.
Yellow bullets were solid, triggering spiked earth formations upon impact.
