After unleashing the Great Dragon Fire, Uchiha Chi felt a wave of emptiness wash over his body due to injuries and excessive exertion. Gritting his teeth, he pulled a Shuriken from his ninja tool pouch with his left hand and threw it, then rushed forward holding a Kunai in his right hand.
The Mist ANBU operative was forced to endure his injuries. Seeing the incoming Shuriken, he merely dodged the vital areas and grabbed the Kunai that Uchiha Chi thrust toward him, bringing his other hand down toward Uchiha Chi's head.
Uchiha Chi raised his left hand in time to defend himself, but lacking physical strength, he failed to block the attack completely despite successfully parrying it. The block still had some effect, deflecting the blow so that it only struck his shoulder.
