“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
In the dense mist, Hozuki Mangetsu never expected that the moment his water clones attacked, Yoroi had already used his wind sensing and spiritual energy perception to detect their trajectories. As the water clones appeared, Yoroi, with a cold smile, exploded chakra from his feet and used the Fourth Hokage’s signature technique!
The Flying Thunder God Technique!
Wind Style: Instantaneous Movement!
As Mangetsu’s water clones attacked, Yoroi didn’t even pause to form seals.
In an instant, Yoroi’s figure vanished from Mangetsu’s perception, leaving the Mist Jonin momentarily stunned and silently astonished at how Yoroi’s speed could suddenly reach such a terrifying level.
That was beyond reason!
Mangetsu couldn’t imagine that the Fourth Hokage’s teleportation technique was inherently unreasonable!
Otherwise, how could the Fourth Hokage’s reputation have spread so far during the Third Shinobi War?
Otherwise, how could the name “Yellow Flash” have struck fear into countless ninjas across various villages?
As Yoroi unleashed chakra and completed the wind nature transformation within his body, using the Fourth Hokage’s wind-style instant movement, he felt a unity with the wind. Controlling his chakra, he became the wind, and the wind became him. With a flicker, he vanished before Mangetsu’s water clones.
Yoroi’s sudden disappearance left Mangetsu’s main body momentarily stunned, not to mention his water clones.
Without giving those clones more time to hesitate, Yoroi, with his wind perception locking onto their positions, reappeared before the water clones, holding a kunai.
The kunai sliced through the throats of the water clones, producing several “puff” sounds!
The water clones created by Mangetsu collapsed into puddles, pooling around Yoroi’s feet.
However, seeing Yoroi reappear, Mangetsu didn’t hesitate for a moment.
As Yoroi displayed more of his trump cards, Mangetsu, despite having the superior Jonin strength, felt pressured by Yoroi’s outstanding performance. So, taking advantage of the moment when Yoroi finished his instant movement and eliminated the water clones, Mangetsu, hidden within the mist, suddenly appeared behind Yoroi.
Unexpectedly, Mangetsu’s appearance brought a faint smile to Yoroi’s face!
“Finally abandoning the tricks?”
“Hozuki Mangetsu! Take this!”
Mangetsu had planned to use the gap when Yoroi attacked the water clones to launch a new round of sneak attacks.
However, with wind chakra at its peak transformation, Yoroi was constantly using wind perception to sense his surroundings. Even though Mangetsu’s Silent Killing technique was exceptionally executed, any movement he made caused slight disturbances in the surrounding “wind,” a natural law that no one could break!
The true terror of Yoroi’s wind perception lay in this!
While using wind perception, as long as Yoroi’s chakra was sufficient, he was the wind, and the wind was him!
Anything the wind could sense was within Yoroi’s perception!
Thus, the moment Mangetsu appeared, Yoroi once again exploded chakra from his feet, using the Fourth Hokage’s wind-style instant movement. In an instant, Yoroi vanished from the spot and with a “whoosh,” reappeared behind Mangetsu, his left hand now glowing with brilliant blue chakra!
“Rasengan!”
“Buzz!”
“Buzz!”
The blue chakra formed into a sphere instantly!
At this moment, Yoroi wasn’t just imitating the Fourth Hokage’s instant movement; he was also perfectly emulating his combat techniques!
In the ninja world, what were the Fourth Hokage’s signature moves?
One was the high-speed, wind-style instant movement that earned him the title “Yellow Flash!”
The other was the non-seal A-rank ninjutsu, the Rasengan!
Combining the wind-style instant movement with the Rasengan, Yoroi’s short burst of power almost perfectly mimicked the Fourth Hokage’s combat techniques. It’s no exaggeration to say that during Yoroi’s temporary burst of half-Jonin power, using the wind-style instant movement and Rasengan combo, even some ordinary Jonin would fall to him!
Maybe, it wasn’t Yoroi’s strength alone, but the formidable techniques of the Fourth Hokage on display.
But so what?
Not everyone could mimic the Fourth Hokage!
And certainly not everyone could mimic the Fourth Hokage’s combat techniques as well as Yoroi did!
Next, standing on the shoulders of the Fourth Hokage’s legacy, Yoroi successfully dodged Mangetsu’s attack with the wind-style instant movement. Then, wielding the Rasengan at close range, he pushed it onto Mangetsu’s chest. With a confident smile, Yoroi was the Rasengan’s overwhelming power would defeat certain Mangetsu.
However, just as Yoroi confidently believed in his victory, Mangetsu’s laughter reached his ears!
“Hahaha!”
“Did you really think your non-seal ninjutsu hit?”
“Underestimate me, Hozuki Mangetsu, do you?”
“Water Release! Water Prison Technique!”
“Boom!”
Hearing Mangetsu’s arrogant laughter, Yoroi’s heart sank.
Especially as Mangetsu formed seals and used Water Release ninjutsu, the sound of his voice filled Yoroi’s ears. Unable to breathe as the water prison surrounded him, Yoroi opened his eyes and saw Mangetsu using the Hozuki clan’s “Hydration Technique” to turn his chest into water, dodging the Rasengan. A look of shock filled Yoroi’s eyes!
“Hydration Technique?”
“The Hozuki clan’s secret technique?”
“Yes, it’s the Hozuki clan’s secret technique!”
Seeing Yoroi’s shocked expression, Mangetsu confidently smiled and said, “Kid, your performance has indeed surprised me. Especially your breakthrough in the face of life and death, gaining the power to threaten me, has truly amazed me.”
“Unfortunately, your combat experience is still lacking. You know my name is Hozuki Mangetsu, so why didn’t you guard against the Hozuki clan’s secret techniques?”
“As a loser, reflect on the consequences of failure with your life!”
“Kid, die!”
“Slash!”
As Mangetsu finished speaking, he thrust his blade, piercing Yoroi’s chest instantly.
But as Mangetsu gleefully drove his blade into Yoroi’s chest, watching the blood from Yoroi’s body dye the water prison red, Yoroi’s pale face coldly uttered a sentence that turned the situation around, dragging Mangetsu from the brink of victory into the depths of defeat!
“I’ve known you were from the Hozuki clan all along. Did you think I wasn’t prepared?”
“While using the Water Prison Technique, you can’t move, right?”
“So, you’re the one who lost, Hozuki Mangetsu!”
“Art is an Explosion!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
As Yoroi finished, under Mangetsu’s horrified gaze, the situation flipped suddenly!
With the “sizzle” sound reaching Mangetsu’s ears, he saw explosive tags attached to his ankles. The terrifying explosion erupted instantly, engulfing Mangetsu in its fiery embrace!
In a moment, Mangetsu’s figure was swallowed by the explosion!
