White Tiger

"Douglas Bullet, let's dance. Tsubaki no Mai(Dance of the Camelia)...!" 

Bullet and Kimimaro simultaneously met in the middle, the former unleashed barrages of punches against the latter. 

Kimimaro who freed himself from his bone armor was significantly faster than before, calmly he swayed left and right to avoid Bullet's destructive punches. 

Sonic boom after sonic boom could be heard when Bullet stretched his hand to the fullest, "COME ON! IS THAT ALL YOU'VE GOT?" Bullet yelled feeling impatient.

Kimimaro's indifferent eyes calmly looked at his opponent's attacking pattern, until suddenly, he sidestepped indescribably fast towards Bullet's left side as his opponent just threw another punch with his left hand!

"Tsubaki no Mai: Haru(Dance of the Camelia: Spring)..." Kimimaro mumbled.

*Flutter...

*Clank! *Clank *Clank! 

a flurry of stabbing like a fencing technique came from Bullet's left side aiming at his whole body! Unfortunately, Bullet with his perception could react before he got struck! 

Covering his body immediately with Haki, Bullet pulled his hands to raise his guard in front as he tried to resist Kimamaro's fencing technique. 

It didn't take long for Bullet to think, he didn't want to endure Kimimaro's flurries of attack anymore as overusing his Busoshoku(Color of Armament) Haki would consume his stamina tremendously!

After several seconds, Bullet finally couldn't afford to endure it any longer, he roared as he threw back punches against Kimimaro's ongoing stabs! 

Just right when Bullet opened his guard, Kimimaro abruptly changed his technique! 

"Natsu(Summer)..." 

*Woosh....

*Crraalaank...! 

Kimimaro's figure suddenly disappeared! Passing by Bullet's body while repeatedly stabbing at the same spot on his head! 

It was too late for Bullet to increase his Haki intensity on his head, Kimimaro's attack had successfully wounded him!

A trail of blood flowing out of his forehead obstructed one of Bullet's eyes.

"Damn it!" 

And when Bullet turned back, he saw another flurry of attack incoming just like earlier, however, this time in the form of repeated slashing.

"Aki(Autumn)..." 

*Slash! *Slash! *Slash! 

Bullet couldn't help but maintain his Haki protection, he gritted his teeth to endure. until finally, 

*Woosh...

Bullet gathered his strength on his leg, kicked the ground, and brandished his fist in an attempt to land a punch on Kimimaro. 

*Wham! 

Bullet was dumbfounded by what he saw, He found out that the Kimimaro who he thought had been caught off guard, was actualy just an afterimage!

Only an instant later he saw his opponent had already crouching down right under him with his palm pressed on the ground! 

"Sawarabi no Mai: Tenku Daitoppa(Bracken Dance: Empyreal Big Breakthrough)..!" 

A massive pillar with a sharp tip made out of intertwining bones rose from underground slamming at Bullet within point-blank range! 

"CRACKLE...

"Guuuuh...!" Bullet gritted his bloodied teeth as he raised his Haki intensity to maximum on his abdomen. 

Along with the bone pillar rising into the air, Bullet couldn't help but have a small thought, "Is this what you called by increasing your speed by a bit? What a Bullshit!" 

Indeed, ever since Kimimaro released his bone armor, Bullet never had once successfully landed a hit on his opponent's body! And he had just realized it now!

Bullet who was dragged into the sky tried his best to hold out without passing out. Just when he felt the bone pillar come to an abrupt stop, he stood up immediately only to widen his eyes in the next moment when he saw several projectiles like a drill-tip shooting towards him! 

"Damn!" 

*Stab! *Stab! *Stab! 

Bullet didn't have enough time while his stamina was running low, and so, to protect his vitals, Bullet raised his hands in front to block the projectiles.

"Teshi Sendan: Hatsuga(Ten-Finger Drill Bullet: Germinate).." Kimamaro mumbled while he hurled bone after bone toward Bullet in midair.

*Stab! *Stab! *Stab!
