Reicarnated as a Hyuga in the Warring States Period

(Hijiri): "Bring it on"

Matatabi started spewing dozens of blue fireballs from her mouth.

"Wind Style: Gale Steps"

Hijiri started avoiding the fireballs while approaching Matatabi. His lower body was covered in green wind chakra. His movements were fast and agile like the wind. He even sometimes took advantage of the explosion of one fireball to dodge another.

Once he neared the behemoth Hijiri prepared on one hand his "Wind Style: Chakra Blade": the evolution of the evolution of the Chakra Scalpel.

Then disappeared from Matatabi's view by using the body flicker jutsu to rise above her in an upside-down position. He concentrated wind chakra on the soles of his feet and utilized the propulsion to accelerate downwards.

Matatabi, confused by his sudden disappearance, noticed too late the dangerous blow.

A huge slash was opened on Matatabi's side.

Hijiri, who had landed in a crouching position, had used chakra to soften his fall.

(Hijiri): "A pity. Wind is weak against fire, and your fire is quite special too. Otherwise, the battle would already be over."

Matatabi's wound was rapidly closing.

(Matatabi): "You're quick and strong. But I am not so easy to defeat."

Hijiri concentrated: despite it seemed he was winning he knew the truth. His chakra reserve wasn't nearly as big as Matatabi's. Other than that the Matatabi only needed one hit to incapacitate him.

Hijiri grinned this battle was making him feel the blood pumping in his veins.

The battle resumed.

Matatabi started using other than the 'Fireball' also 'Flame Breath' and 'Fire Claws'. Furthermore, having noticed that the speed difference made a close confrontation difficult, she started agilely moving around while spewing flames.

Hijiri continued using his 'Gale Step', 'Wind Chakra Blade', and 'Body Flicker Jutsu' to their extremes. He evaded almost all the attacks, the ones he couldn't evade were cut in half by his 'Wind Chakra Blade'.

After an hour of back and forth, Hijiri saw an opening. He used three continuous body flickers and with his 'Wind Chakra Blade' cut towards the neck of Matatabi.

Matatabi's eyes flickered. She managed to tilt her body and the blade hit her shoulder. The left front paw was detached from her body.

At the same time, one of the two tails hurled herself against Hijiri. He wanted to use the substitution technique to escape but the release of chakra from the detachment of the limb blocked him.

He defended by covering both arms with chakra and crossing them in front of him.

He was hurled several meters away. He fell on both of his two feet and he noticed that both his arms were broken.

Matatabi, standing on 3 of his paws looked at him: "Isn't it enough?"

(Hijiri): "Would you be satisfied if it ended like this?"

Matatabi thought a bit and then grinned: "No. Let's go Hijiri. Let us give our all. Whatever happens though know that you are my, Matatabi's, friend!."

Matatabi started charging a Bijuudama. Hijiri put himself in a battle position, even if it was a little off due to the broken arms.

The Bijuudama was fired and it started moving towards Hijiri at breathtaking speed.

Hijiri from his position started spinning: "Eight Trigrams: Revolving Haven.".

One of the actual ninja world's strongest attacks met one of its strongest defenses.

The Bijuudama and the Revolving Haven created sparks where they met. Then the Bijuudama changed his course and flew upwards.

The revolving haven instead suddenly charged forward, hitting Matatabi, and launching her backwards.

Hijiri ran and, reaching her struggling form, delivered a powerful kick to her head using the Gentle Pulse. Matatabi fainted.

Hijiri sat down, breathing heavily. He was exhausted but he noticed that he was actually smiling, 

He took notice of the fallen limb of Matatabi. Its flames were a lot more subdued He was tempted to eat it. It would surely increase a lot his capabilities. In the end, he remembered how Matatabi had called him her friend and he found that he considered her his friend too. His first friend. He simply couldn't bring himself to eat her flesh and desisted.

He decided to take a nap.
