When Masaru saw the violent protective vortex of water nullify his concentrated wind blade, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh!"
"Such a powerful Water Release."
"To wield water this effortlessly at your young age and on such a scale…"
"Senju clan, maybe?"
Although Masaru was impressed, his movent didn't stop.
He started forming hand seals, wanting to overwhelm the water barrier with powerful Earth Release Ninjutsu.
And Seii, who could see every movent of Masaru with his Tenseigan, wasn't about to let him succeed.
Before Masaru could even form his second-hand seal, Seii made a hand seal of his own and began manipulating the water of the vortex.
Improvised Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique
The water vortex quickly changed its shape and turned into a ferocious water dragon, which roared at Masaru and charged at him with the montum of a bullet train.
"Roaaarrr"
Seeing the enormous ten-ter-long serpentine water dragon coming at him, he decisively abandoned the hand seals he was forming. If this water dragon construct hit him, he would turn into a at paste.
Ninjas generally have weaker defense after all.
So, he imdiately ford a hand seal just before the water dragon engulfed him.
Booooooooom!!
Crash!! Crack!!
The water dragon crashed down on Masaru and crushed him along with the nearby walls and pavents, leaving behind a massive crater filled with water.
Spider-web-like cracks spread from the crater to the surrounding walls and buildings, clearly showing just how powerful the last attack had been.
If Seii hadn't reduced the power before the water dragon crashed on the ground, the resulting shockwave and the montum of the water would have obliterated all the walls, roads, and buildings within an area of 15-18 ters in diater.
anwhile, Masaru's figure appeared nearly one hundred ters away. He decided to hide in plain sight. Whether he would attack or retreat would depend on the next few seconds.
Seii and Sorata also understood that Masaru had slipped away.
Earth Substitution Technique?
Do you think you can hide from my eyes?
Seii thought for a fraction of a second before turning his clear ocean-blue eyes to the location where Masaru was hiding.
His eyes t Masaru's.
And without saying anything, he unsheathed his ninjato and disappeared with a flash of purple lightning.
Lightning Release Kenjutsu: Chidori Katana
Crackle~ Crackle~
Purple lightning arcs snaked around his blade as they also activated the cells of Seii's whole body, allowing him to move at a speed that most Jonin would have a hard ti tracking his movent.
However, Masaru had also crossed the threshold of a peak Elite Jonin, just a few steps away from becoming a full-fledged S-rank Shinobi.
So, he could still track Seii.
The mont Seii appeared before him and swung his crackling blade infused with masterful lightning chakra flow, Masaru also empowered his own ninja sword with wind chakra flow and blocked the incoming sword with a powerful horizontal slash.
Clang~ Crackle!!!
tal t tal, and they soon separated with a clang while making winds howl and purple lightning bolts crackle everywhere around them.
Seeing this, Seii reinforced his body with even more chakra and slashed his lightning-infused blade upward at a diagonal angle, aiming to attack his right ribs and lung.
Masaru imdiately pivoted on his left leg and moved his body backward while rotating his body toward his left, missing the ferocious blade that passed beside his face by a hair's breadth.
But Seii quickly twisted his blade-wielding wrist mid-motion, changed his ninjato's direction, and brought the blade down toward Masaru's neck at a 45-degree downward angle.
However, if such an action were enough to bring Masaru down, he wouldn't be as powerful as he is today.
Seeing the crackling, lightning-infused blade aiming at his neck, he reacted quickly.
He pulled his right arm back and brought the sword infused with a huge amount of sharp wind chakra to block Seii's blade. And block it did.
Clang!!
Crackle~ Howl~
Sparks and crackling lightning bolts flew in the air, and the wind howled, causing the brown hair of Masaru and the snow-white hair of Seii to flutter.
At that mont, when both of their blades were locked with each other, a volleyball-sized, glowing, gem-like blue sphere of rotating chakra suddenly appeared in Seii's left hand.
Witnessing the sudden appearance of a dense, rotating chakra sphere on his opponent's left hand, Masaru was stunned. Soon, his survival instincts kicked in, and countless alarm bells began to ring inside his mind.
He didn't know what this sudden, no-hand-seal Jutsu was. But he could feel it. If this sphere of chakra hit him, he would be toast.
On the other side, once the chakra sphere was ford, Seii wasted no ti and imdiately thrust his left hand at Masaru's liver.
Rasengan
As soon as Rasengan struck Masaru, multiple spider-web-like cracks suddenly appeared on his body. The cracks slowly spread before the force of the Rasengan ground his body to dust while causing a loud explosion.
Booooom!!
"Another Earth Substitution, huh?"
"I don't know about his other skills, but his substitution skill is top-notch," murmured Seii as he looked toward the new location of Masaru.
However, he didn't pursue him imdiately; instead, he let out a smirk.
anwhile, Masaru saw Seii no longer pursuing him and sighed in relief. But his relief was short-lived.
Because several dozen tennis ball-sized, flower-like balls of fire attacked him from bizarre angles.
"Fuck!!"
Masaru cursed under his breath and tried to dodge the incoming barrage of small fireballs.
As he was dodging them, he saw tens of shurikens coming at him, targeting his vitals. The shurikens hit each other mid-air and suddenly changed their trajectories before attacking Masaru from unpredictable angles.
"These bizarre attacks must be from the Uchiha teammate of this white-haired kid," said Masaru before he ford one hand seal and puffed his chest.
Wind Release: Great Breakthrough
He exhaled a powerful gust of wind that forcibly repelled the incoming shurikens and the rest of the fireballs.
But that's not all.
The wind caused the fireballs to burn even brighter. The fla spread around the gusts of wind while scorching the deflected shurikens red.
Soon, the fla as well as the scorching shurikens returned to the direction they ca and set a large area on fire that burned fiercely.
If the person who released those fireballs and shuriken still hid there, they would have already been scorched black unless they retreated or repelled the fire with Water Release Ninjutsu.
Right at that mont, Seii's ocean-blue Tenseigan sparkled with brilliance.
Now, it's ti.
Seii thought, and his purple sparks of lightning began to gather on his feet.
This would be the first ti he would use the new no-hand-seal Body Flicker Technique that he had perfected over the last couple of years in combat.
Crackle~ Crackle~
Lightning Release: Thunder Body Flicker
A flash of purple lightning erupted from his legs, and Seii disappeared with a trail of lightning, leaving behind only an afterimage.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared on the left side of Masaru, who had just finished casting the Great Breakthrough Jutsu, and swung his lightning chakra-infused blade horizontally at his neck.
At the sa ti, Uchiha Sorata appeared on Masaru's left side. In his hand, he was holding his short sword covered in blazing yellow-orange fire. His flaming blade was directed at Masaru's torso, seemingly aiming to slice him in half.
Uchiha-style Kenjutsu: Dance of the Sun Halo
One blade, crackling with deadly lightning bolts, aid at his neck. Another blade, covered in searing hot flas, tried to bisect him in half.
This battle seed to be in Seii and Sorata's pockets.
However, this world of Shinobi was unpredictable, filled with countless unexpected weapons and Jutsu that would always challenge your common sense.
A battle that seed like an easy win might beco troubleso after just one move.
In the battle, as the blades of Seii and Sorata were approaching Masaru, he suddenly retrieved a giant tallic folding fan from his storage seal.
He quickly opened the fan completely, ford two hand seals, and channeled a large amount of Wind Release chakra to the fan.
