I rely on myself

Chapter 122 Water Transformation Technique
The other party looked at Lin Yuan and couldn't help but reveal a ferocious smile.

"It seems that you are the one who used ninjutsu to destroy our ship. You are very brave. But after performing such a large-scale ninjutsu, how much chakra do you have left?"

While drawing the sword from his waist, the opponent started to use words to undermine Lin Yuan's self-confidence, thinking that he could gain an advantage in the next battle.

Of course, Lin Yuan would not be affected by such a trick. After taking a look at the other party's clothes and appearance, and reviewing the water-style ninjutsu that the other party had just used, Lin Yuan suddenly thought of something.

"Are you from the Kirigakure's Hozumi clan?"

The Kirigakure Jonin, who was about to continue speaking, was so shocked after hearing Lin Yuan's question that he stopped talking, but soon continued.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to recognize me. But that's right. Our Gui Deng clan is well-known no matter what. I will be merciful and tell you that my name is Gui Deng Chang Jing. Remember this name well, because this is the name of the person who killed you."

After saying that, Nagakage Kizuna raised the sword in his hand and made a sudden and swift slash.

Lin Yuan took a step back, allowing the sudden knife to pass right in front of him without causing any harm.

Hozuki Nagakage was not surprised to see this. After all, he did not expect to be able to take out the Konoha jonin in front of him with such a simple sword. He just wanted to bring the opponent into his own rhythm and gain an advantage in the battle.

He turned his wrist to retract the sword that had swung in the air, then pushed his arm forward, and immediately the slash that had missed the target turned into a stab.

Faced with this change of tactics, Lin Yuan once again slightly turned sideways to avoid the stab, and at the same time began to counterattack. Lin Yuan reached out and took out three kunai, then flicked his wrist hard, and the three kunai formed a V-shape and shot in front of Nagakage Kizuna.

Under normal circumstances, hidden weapons such as kunai and shuriken can be easily dealt with by a jonin, but at such a close distance, when used by a jonin, it still has great lethality.

But Kizuna Nagakage didn't care about the three kunai that had already appeared in front of him. He completely ignored their existence and continued to wave the katana in his hand to attack Lin Yuan.

The kunai hit Nagakage Kizuna instantly, but no blood flew out. Instead, the kunai went straight through Nagakage Kizuna's body, and the body pierced by the kunai turned into water without causing any wounds. Then the water gathered back into Nagakage Kizuna's body and he did not receive any damage at all.

Lin Yuan was not surprised to see this scene. After all, since he recognized that the other party was a ninja from the Kizuna clan, he must know their secret technique, the water transformation technique.

The secret ninjutsu passed down from generation to generation by the Kizuna clan can turn the body into liquid and become immune to physical attacks. But it also has a weakness, which is the lightning ninjutsu. The paralysis effect of lightning ninjutsu will cause it to not fully liquefy, thus making the hydration technique ineffective.

Just now, the body of Nagakage Kizuna, who was pierced by the kunai, turned into water, dissolving the attack. This is the manifestation of the water transformation technique.

"Is it really the water transformation technique? It's a bit tricky."

Lin Yuan lamented the opponent's difficulty, but at the same time he avoided the opponent's attack with very subtle movements, which was full of irony.

Seeing this, Nagakage felt dissatisfied, and felt that the probing was enough, so he decided to show his real skills. "What are you talking about? You dodged very easily, but because of this, I finally confirmed that your chakra consumption is indeed very large, otherwise you wouldn't have been using such subtle movements to dodge my attacks since the beginning of the battle. Although this movement looks powerful, it can fail to completely dodge the attack due to miscalculation if you are not careful. The most important thing is that it consumes less physical strength, right!"

Speaking of Lin Yuan's current condition, Gui Deng Chang Jing really used his abilities. His whole body liquefied and turned into a water python, pouncing towards Lin Yuan at lightning speed.

Although it was very sudden, Lin Yuan had already been prepared for it. He exerted force with his feet instantly, and the huge reaction force allowed Lin Yuan to move his body instantly, thus avoiding the pounce.

The pounce that Lin Yuan dodged actually created a huge gap in the wooden wall behind Lin Yuan. Looking at the wood chips flying around the gap, one could tell how powerful this attack was.

All the water pythons transformed by Gui Deng Chang Jing sank into the gap and disappeared, leaving only the sound of something being dragged on the ground coming from the surroundings.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but frown when he saw this, and looked around. He saw that although the ship had suffered a lot of damage due to his previous ninjutsu, it was generally intact. Because of this, there were a lot of debris around blocking his vision, making it impossible for Lin Yuan to find any trace of Kizuna Nagakage.

"The water transformation technique of the Ghost Lantern Clan is troublesome. Without any means of restraint, even if he is stronger than him, he has no good way to deal with them. Moreover, we are on the sea and the terrain is on the other side, which makes it a bit difficult to deal with."

Although he thought it was difficult, Lin Yuan did not show any expression on his face. He just kept a calm expression and continued to be alert. However, Gui Deng Chang Jing seemed to see through Lin Yuan's ability to deal with his water transformation technique.

"What's wrong? You were so impressive before, and you even used Earth Escape to destroy our ship. Why can't you do it now? Ah!"

Kitsune Nagakage said these arrogant words, on the one hand to vent his resentment about Lin Yuan using ninjutsu to destroy their ship, and on the other hand to disturb Lin Yuan's mood and make him reveal his flaws.

But it was obvious that Lin Yuan was not affected by these words. Instead, Gui Deng Chang Jing began to lose his patience and wanted to launch an attack.

"The opponent has no means to restrain my water transformation technique, so it shouldn't matter if I'm a little aggressive."

Thinking of this, Gui Deng Chang Jing no longer hesitated. He deliberately bumped into objects several times while moving to make noises, thereby attracting and distracting Lin Yuan's attention. However, he immediately stopped all movements, quickly moved behind Lin Yuan and jumped up.

The leaping water python regrouped into the figure of Gui Deng Chang Jing, who was holding a sword and was less than 3 meters away from Lin Yuan. Looking at the back in front of him, Gui Deng Chang Jing thought to himself: "I won."

Unfortunately, facts do not develop exactly as one expects, and unexpected things happen.

Lin Yuan's figure instantly disappeared from Guideng Changjing's sight, and then in less than a second, Lin Yuan's figure reappeared, but behind Guideng Changjing.

In just one second, the positions of both parties quietly changed.
