The Wind-Controlling Swordsmanship from Under One Person

Chapter 234 Dust Escape, Origin World Detachment Technique
Although the Great Explosive Water Wave is called a ninjutsu, it is actually close to a miracle.

It's more like creating an ocean out of thin air, as if the entire sea area had been moved onto land, covering an area of ​​ten miles in radius.

A technique of this scale is impossible to dodge unless one evacuates in advance.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Ye was swallowed up in this enormous water prison.

At the same time, Kisame strangely fused with his greatsword Samehada.

A shark tail grew from its tailbone, dark blue fins pierced its back, webbed membranes grew between its toes, and gills opened and closed menacingly on its neck. In the blink of an eye, it had transformed into a half-human, half-fish creature.

With its fins and gills, it was like a tiger with wings in the water. With a flick of its shark tail, it created a swirling vortex of fluid and charged toward Qin Ye at an extremely fast speed.

Furthermore, as he moved, the entire water prison began to move around him, making it impossible to escape.

However, Qin Ye had no intention of escaping. If he wanted, he could evaporate the entire water prison.

At this moment, he had exactly this intention.

In an instant, dark purple flames erupted from his body.

This flame was unlike any ordinary fire; its intense heat was accompanied by an indescribable ferocity. It was completely unaffected by the water flow, instead scorching the surrounding seawater to a boiling, churning state, with countless bubbles rising wildly, and the entire body of water shrinking rapidly at a visible speed.

The once cool water prison instantly transformed into a scalding steamer, leaving Kisame utterly shocked and incredulous.

Water Release counters Fire Release—that's an ironclad rule in the ninja world. How could anyone possibly counter his Great Exploding Water Wave with Fire Release?!

However, the facts were right before his eyes, and Kisame had no time to think. The scalding water burned his gills, and every breath felt like inhaling boiling steam, causing excruciating pain.

"We can't keep this water prison going. If this continues, I'll be steamed alive before the water prison even evaporates."

Thinking this, Kisame immediately released the spell.

In an instant, the water prison collapsed with a roar, and towering waves poured down as if they had lost their support, washing over the entire valley.

Without water, the fused form of sharkskin becomes a burden.

Just as Kisame was about to separate from Samehada, a figure appeared behind him like a ghost.

puff-

The excruciating pain of the cold blade piercing his chest caused Kisame's pupils to shrink sharply. He looked down and saw a blood-stained blade tip protruding from his heart, with drops of crimson blood dripping down the blade and blooming into blood flowers in the receding water.

With a flick of his wrist, Qin Ye lifted Kisame high into the air before slamming him hard to the ground.

boom!
The rocky ground instantly cracked, and spiderweb-like fissures spread in all directions. Before the shattered rocks could even hit the ground, a foot had already stomped heavily on Kisame's chest, and the sharp blade was raised high, drawing a deadly arc in the moonlight.

This series of attacks was swift and fluid, so fast that Kisame didn't even have time to struggle and could only watch helplessly as the cold light grew larger and larger in his field of vision.

Before the blade even arrived, the sharp wind had already stung his cheek.

At the critical moment, several kunai pierced through the air and struck the blade precisely, causing it to deviate from its trajectory. In the end, they only tore a hideous wound at Kisame's collarbone, with the white bone fragments faintly visible.

Immediately afterwards, two more kunai aimed straight at Qin Ye's eyes, while the remaining kunai collided with each other in mid-air, their trajectories suddenly changing as they attacked from various tricky angles.

What appears to be a simple throwing technique has been turned into unpredictable and unpredictable variations.

Ding ding ding ding
Qin Ye's blade flashed like a curtain, parrying the incoming kunai and retreating swiftly.

He didn't look at the kunai's master, and even closed his eyes.

Itachi Uchiha's genjutsu could rival the best in the ninja world. He couldn't guarantee that his Wuji Path would be immune to it. If he fell for it, he would basically be doomed.

Fortunately, even without sight, he can still sense his surroundings through airflow.

The combat strength has been slightly reduced, but it's not a major issue.

On the other side, Kisame staggered to his feet and retreated to Itachi's side. His body, separated from Samehada, looked extremely disheveled. Blood was still gushing from the penetrating wound in his chest, and the slash on his collarbone was so deep that bone was visible. It was only three inches away from severing his carotid artery.

Samehada writhed and climbed up his chest, channeling chakra into it, repairing the horrific wound bit by bit like stitches.

"Cough, this guy is really powerful." Blood kept spilling from Kisame's shark-like fangs, his voice hoarse: "His speed is ridiculously fast, and his strength is also great. The strangest thing is his fire release. I don't know what kind of ninjutsu it is, but it can actually counter my water release. Mr. Itachi, be careful."

"You should recover from your injuries first." Uchiha Itachi gazed at the figure in the distance, holding a sword and with his eyes closed. His three-tomoe Sharingan slowly rotated, its shape gradually changing.

Kisame was about to retreat and hand the battlefield over to Itachi Uchiha when he suddenly froze.

Suddenly, a strange, eerie light burst forth from the wound on his neck, and then his whole body trembled violently as if struck by lightning.

A large mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs gushed from his mouth, drawing a shocking blood rainbow in the air.

The shattered blades raged wildly within his body, finally bursting out from his heart, bringing with them a cloud of blood mist.

A streak of blood shot through the air, tracing a beautiful arc in mid-air.

The blood-stained shattered blade did not return to Qin Ye's hand, but instead, accompanied by a piercing sound, it went straight for Uchiha Itachi's vitals!

The moment Kisame vomited blood, Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan detected the anomaly. Four shuriken were already hidden between the fingers of his slender left hand, and with a flick of his wrist, they pierced the air with a cold light.

A pleasant clanging sound rang out as the broken blades were knocked away and all the shuriken fell to the ground.

With a slight thought, Qin Ye summoned the blood-stained shattered blade, which perfectly embedded itself in the gap of the Thousand Blades.

Long before Itachi made his move, he had already buried the shard of the blade in Kisame's wound.

Qin Ye was not surprised that his sneak attack failed. It would be strange if this man, whom even Obito Uchiha was wary of, fell for it so easily.

However, we can deal with them one by one, as Kisame probably won't have any fighting ability left now.

At this moment, Kisame's face was as pale as gold paper, and his originally bluish-gray skin had turned sickly pale.

He curled up on the ground, each cough bringing up large pieces of internal organs, which mixed with blood and spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Samehada was frantically pumping chakra into his body, but the organs that had been shredded by the broken blades were like tattered cotton wool, unable to recover in a short time.

Uchiha Itachi had no time to care about his comrade's injuries, as Qin Ye's attacks came like a storm, each strike accompanied by a sharp whistling sound.

Although Itachi's Sharingan can predict movements, the sheer difference in taijutsu makes his blocking seem extremely difficult.

Itachi Uchiha's taijutsu was actually not weak, but it also depended on who he was compared to. Facing the powerful Qin Ye, his genjutsu was ineffective, so he could only retreat step by step.

bang——

A powerful whip kick struck Itachi's ribs, the crisp sound of bones cracking echoing. He was sent flying uncontrollably, like a small boat being hit by a giant wave, leaving a long trail on the rocky ground.

After defeating Itachi Uchiha, Qin Ye did not pursue him. He flashed to the side of the unconscious Four-Tails Jinchuriki, took out his food pouch, and prepared to put him into it.

Suddenly, a chilling sense of crisis pierced my entire body like a thousand steel needles, every inch of my skin was sending out a sharp warning, and the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end.

Qin Ye resisted the urge to open his eyes, and suddenly his body radiated a dazzling golden light.

His hands moved without pause, and he aimed the mouth of the sac at Lao Zi, instantly sucking it in.

At that very moment, pitch-black flames erupted from the void without warning, instantly engulfing Qin Ye. The golden light could not withstand the heat of the flames and quickly melted away, emitting a teeth-grinding sizzling sound.

Amaterasu, a flame that will not cease until it has burned everything to ashes.

This is the ability of Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan, known as the strongest physical attack.

It is very strong, but its weaknesses are equally obvious.

Qin Ye simply manipulated the ignited golden light to extend outwards, then severed it like a gecko severing its tail, easily cutting off the black flames.

The black flames, having lost their target, burned futilely in the air, ultimately dissipating into nothingness in resentment.

Amaterasu, which doesn't burn people, is no different from air.

Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly contracted, and a rare fluctuation flashed in his scarlet pupils.

He never imagined that his Amaterasu would be broken in this way. This discovery made him instantly aware of the fatal flaw in this eye technique.

He also became curious about the other party's ninjutsu.

Neither the dark purple flames from before nor the golden light from just now could he see the other party forming any hand seals.

Clearly, that wasn't a normal form of ninjutsu, or rather, there wasn't a trace of a ninja in the opponent at all.

They seem more like strangers from other dimensions who have strayed into this world.

Glancing at the critically injured Kisame Hoshigaki beside him, Itachi Uchiha considered making a retreat.

The Four-Tails Jinchuriki was taken away by an unknown space-time ninja tool, and he saw no possibility of taking it back from the other party.

Although he still has other trump cards up his sleeve, they are definitely not meant for the person in front of him.

With this in mind, Itachi made a quick decision, flashed to Kisame's side, and prepared to take him away.

However, at that moment, a deafening roar suddenly came from outside the valley.

The momentum was like a thousand horses galloping in, and even the ground began to tremble slightly.

Looking up, one could see a dark mass of ninjas surging in like a tide at the entrance of the valley, numbering at least a thousand.

The headbands on their heads gleamed coldly in the moonlight; most of them were from Iwagakure, but there were also ninjas from Kirigakure, Sunagakure, and Kumogakure.

The harmonious coexistence of ninjas from four villages is unprecedented in the ninja world.

The leader was a short old man who hovered seven feet in the air, his bulbous nose glowing red in the moonlight.

Despite his short stature, his imposing presence overshadowed the group of ninjas behind him.

At this moment, his brows were furrowed, and suppressed anger burned in his cloudy eyes.

This person is none other than the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure—Ōnoki.

He is the most senior person among the five great ninja villages, and belongs to the same era as Uchiha Madara, the founder of Konoha.

When he first received the request for a joint siege from the Mizukage, he didn't take it seriously. It wasn't until reports of ninjas going missing in the village came that this veteran Kage-level powerhouse realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately led the allied forces of the four great ninja villages to rush over.

Upon arriving at Red Ridge Valley, they found the Akatsuki bastards there, just as expected.

"Damn brat, where's Lao Zi?"

Before he arrived, his voice preceded his arrival. Onoki took the lead and flew quickly toward Qin Ye and the others.

Uchiha Itachi's brows furrowed deeply, his crimson Sharingan rapidly scanning between Qin Ye and the allied forces.

The people from Iwagakure were able to arrive because they discovered that someone in their village had met with misfortune. However, since the other three villages were also there, it couldn't have been because of him and Kisame.

"Don't look at me, I don't know what happened either." Qin Ye shrugged, indicating that it had nothing to do with him.

Itachi Uchiha had no interest in asking further questions and said directly, "Let's stop the war, cooperate to escape first, and talk about the rest later."

"Okay." Qin Ye readily agreed, but as he spoke, his figure slowly disappeared into the shadows and vanished in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Itachi Uchiha took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to curse.

Helpless, he had no choice but to turn around and face the mighty allied army alone, his black robe with red clouds fluttering in the wind.

"Uchiha?" Onoki hovered in mid-air, squinting his cloudy eyes.

When he saw those distinctive scarlet eyes, his bulbous nose twitched slightly, and from the depths of his memory, a defiant figure clad in red armor uncontrollably surfaced.

"Hmph, not a single good person from the Uchiha clan is any good! Where's Rōshi? Hand him over!"

Itachi Uchiha didn't explain. He knew that even if he said the Jinchuriki wasn't in his hands, the other party wouldn't believe him. Besides, the person in front of him seemed to be full of hostility towards the Uchiha.

The crimson Sharingan suddenly shone with an eerie light, and Onoki froze, his words abruptly cut off, and he stood frozen in mid-air like a puppet on strings.

Itachi did not use Tsukuyomi. Tsukuyomi consumes a lot of energy, and it would be unwise to use it when facing an attack. Once exhausted, he would become a fish on a chopping board.

Taking advantage of the brief moment, he quickly hoisted the dying Kisame onto his shoulder, and with his black robes fluttering, he sped off into the depths of the valley.

"Lord Tsuchikage, the enemy has escaped...Lord Tsuchikage?"

The guard beside him noticed that Onoki was standing still and immediately realized that he had been under a spell.

Just as he was about to help him break the illusion, Onoki suddenly raised his sword finger and shouted, "Release!"

Having broken free from the illusion, Onoki's face turned terrifyingly grim. He immediately ordered the allied forces to pursue them, while he himself soared into the sky.

Running on the ground is no match for flying in the sky, and in a short while he caught up with the fleeing Uchiha Itachi.

Onoki sneered, then clasped his hands together, and a crystal-clear cube-shaped barrier suddenly unfolded in his palms, its interior shimmering with a chilling white light.

"Dust Release: Particle Style: Detachment Technique!"

Dust Release is a bloodline limit that transcends bloodline limits, formed by the fusion of wind, earth, and fire elements.

If it hits, it can imprison the enemy within the barrier and decompose them into atomic states, completely annihilating them.

It can be said that once hit by this move, there is absolutely no hope of survival; it is a true one-hit kill.

Itachi Uchiha clearly sensed the terror of this attack, and in the nick of time, he swiftly threw Kisame to a safe area.

With a flurry of black feathers, his body instantly disintegrated into dozens of crows, scattering in all directions with a whooshing sound.

A blinding white light descended almost simultaneously, enveloping half of the crows within the barrier. As the smoke exploded like a dust explosion, all the crows were broken down into atoms and vanished without a trace.

However, the remaining crows regrouped in the distance, and as their black feathers swirled, Itachi Uchiha's figure coalesced once more.
