I'm in Konoha, and I have ten skill slots.

Before Chojuro could even be surprised by the power of Shigure's slash, the black sword Zangetsu arrived right in front of him.

Swish! !

A sharp whooshing sound rang out, and Chojuro hastily raised his twin swords, Hiramekarei, to parry. The black sword swiftly sliced ​​across the surface of the Hiramekarei.

The sparks that were ejected scattered in all directions.

Just as Chojuro breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he had blocked the attack, Shigure smiled.

Crack!

Suddenly, the force exploded, and Chojuro shot out instantly, slicing through the air and crashing straight into the wall, leaving two high streaks.

hum! ! !

Accompanied by the sound of the stream exploding.

All the ninjas were suddenly stunned.

What just happened happened so fast that they didn't even see what was going on.

How did the Hidden Mist ninja suddenly get blasted away?

Rock Lee, frowning in the audience, thought, "Shigure's power is so strong!"

"Idiot, it's not just about strength!"

Kai spoke up from the side.

"At that moment, Shigure's power did indeed erupt, but it was only through the exquisite exertion of force and the fusion of swordsmanship that such power could be unleashed in an instant."

"This kid... his basic strength is already stronger than his opponent's, and he also has such superb swordsmanship. No wonder he's the kid who can create his own swordsmanship!"

Chapter 149 The Flounder's Liberation: Breath Burst

Seeing their village's ninjas being suppressed in their proud swordsmanship.

Qing, who was serving as a shadow guard, was in a very bad mood at the moment.

Hiruzen looked at Kakashi and said, "Shigure, that kid's swordsmanship seems to have improved quite a bit these days!"

Hearing this, Kakashi nodded. "Shigure's talent in swordsmanship is indeed very strong, but the ninjas of Kirigakure are also very strong. This should be the first time Shigure has encountered an opponent whose swordsmanship is not much different from his own! Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to win by brute force!"

Kakashi said that on purpose to save face for the Kage.

Qing, however, let out a cold snort at this moment.

"Mr. Kakashi, you seem to be too confident in your own ninjas. The battle has only just begun. Victory?"

"That can't be right!"

Kakashi's intention was to save face for Kirigakure, but it seems the other party doesn't appreciate it very much!

"Chojuro is a prodigy in Kirigakure. Not only is his swordsmanship formidable, but most importantly, he has already mastered the twin swords Hiramekarei at such a young age!"

As Aoki revealed a smug look, he said, "Let's keep watching! The ninja who wins in the end might not necessarily be from Konoha!"

At this moment, the Third Generation smiled, having mastered the Twin Blades Hiramekarei?

No wonder they sent Chojuro to participate in the Chunin Exams finals.

Is this an attempt to demonstrate the power of Kirigakure to Konoha?

But unfortunately, it seems the people in the Shadow Sect don't know yet! Just how strong is Shigure?

Just by mastering the double-bladed flounder, he's no match for Shigure! 603!

The Third Hokage smiled but didn't say much, and Kakashi knew this wasn't the time for a battle of wits.

The fact that the Hokage was able to invite the Kage to participate in this Chunin Exams involves more issues than meets the eye, so Kakashi couldn't say anything more.

boom! !

Suddenly, Chojuro jumped out from the shower of flowers.

As if to confirm Qing's words, the bandages on the Twin-Sword Flounder had now been completely removed.

And then Chojuro swung his sword.

The chakra that suddenly erupted from the twin swords Hiramekarei formed a beam of light, transforming into an astonishing slashing wave that swept directly toward Shigure.

Shigure jumped aside to avoid it.

The moment he landed back on the surface, Chojuro had already arrived at Shigure's landing spot.

A knife!

Ding! Buzzing!

Another startling collision rang out, and this time, Shigure's body was slashed through the air and sent flying.

The raindrops in the air spun around and landed on the wall.

Then he looked at Chojuro.

Double-edged flounder!

The more people you kill, the more chakra you accumulate, and you can unleash that chakra to form a powerful chakra ball with astonishing destructive power.

However, in Chojuro's hands, it's not just about forming chakra balls, but also about changing the shape of chakra to a certain extent.

Chojuro truly deserves to be called a child prodigy.

It's quite impressive to have mastered the double-bladed flounder to this extent.

"As expected of one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, the power of the Twin Blades Hiramekarei is truly astonishing!"

Asuma spoke slowly from the audience.

Ino and Choji exchanged glances. "That sword is incredibly powerful! It seemed to have released chakra directly just now?"

"That's right!"

Kurenai Yuhi explained, "Hiramekarei, one of the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure, is incredibly powerful and can unleash chakra balls for attacks, with astonishing destructive force!"

"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are the elite of the Mist Village. It is said that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen alone can destroy a country in a single night!"

The destruction of... a nation!

What a terrifying power this is.

Ino is a little worried now. Shigure should be fine, right?

"You...you need to be careful!"

"Swordsmanship... I... I am no match for you... but if I combine the power of the Twin Flounder Blades... I... might be able to defeat you!"

Just as Shigure was about to make a move, he heard Chojuro's words and laughed.

This kid is so interesting—he says the most confident things in the most timid tone.

"I see!"

Shigure nodded, as if she had taken Chojuro's words to heart.

However, the next second, Shigure fell back down, and the Zangetsu in his hand seemed to faintly emit a sword-like sound!

"I've also learned about the abilities of the Twin-Sword Flounder. Now that you've freed Flounder, I'm going to get serious!"

"I do have a sword technique of my own creation that might be able to fight against the liberated flounder!"

Upon hearing this, Chojuro was very surprised: a self-created... sword technique!

Although his own swordsmanship was already quite good, he hadn't created any new sword techniques!

However, swordsmanship alone is simply not enough to fight against his flounder!

"Swordsmanship is probably no match for mine. You should use ninjutsu instead! Even your bloodline limit will do!"

Now I don't stutter when I speak.

It seems I'm not so nervous anymore.

This also shows that Chojuro is starting to get into form.

Shi Yu smiled and said, "You'll understand once you see it!"

Swish!

In an instant, Shigure simply raised Zangetsu, and the surrounding flow began to gather towards Shigure's side out of thin air.

As Chojuro watched the rising beads swirling around Shigure under the influence of chakra, his eyes widened in surprise.

'What...what kind of technique is this?'

At this moment, Shigure's left hand, which had been carrying on his back, finally grasped the hilt of the sword.

Hold the knife horizontally with both hands at your sides.

Shigure leaned forward slightly, her eyes fixed on Chojuro's direction.

“It’s coming!”

"My self-created swordsmanship!"

"Breathe!"
