Chapter 150 External Puppet

"...You think you can fight me?"

Watching the monstrous black-robed figures and their henchmen slaughtering each other around him, Hiruko looked at Yahiko charging towards him, her tone chilling: "Don't underestimate me, you damned brat!"

sough!!

A loud bang followed, accompanied by billowing white smoke—proof that a knife had sliced ​​through the rain.

Suddenly, Yahiko appeared before him, wielding a sword in both hands, the intense arc of the blade dazzling and captivating.

Like a paintbrush, he slashed twice in quick succession, the two slashes moving in the blink of an eye!

The leech's tail whip lashed out without any resistance, striking its body and neck with effortless ease.

boom!

In the blink of an eye, the blade and the whip collided twice at the same moment, sparking a bright flame between the blades, and the resulting ring-shaped shockwaves shot out in all directions.

The rain curtain was blown away, clearing out a circular area.

In the clear center of the airspace, Hiruko involuntarily retreated half a meter, and the ground beneath her feet began to crack.

Only half a meter back? This weight...

Yahiko's heart sank suddenly, and a strong sense of unease arose.

At the same time, Hiruko raised her hand without hesitation to grab Yahiko in front of her, but Yahiko, who had failed to strike, did not lose her focus and kicked Hiruko in the chest to create distance.

puff.

He rolled to the ground, the whip that followed retracted, and a bloody gash gradually appeared on Yahiko's shoulder as he pressed his arm against the scabbard, his pupils trembling slightly.

"So strong, so strong! Even though he's not a swordsman, in this environment where visibility is obscured, he was still able to use his awareness and reflexes to detect my sword's trajectory and seize the opening to counterattack!"

In the brief moment of their encounter, he unleashed two strikes, both of which were blocked.

But the whip that the opponent lashed out still had enough force to sever his head from his neck if he hadn't created distance.

Is this the elite level of Jonin among the five great ninja villages?

Faced with an enemy beyond his capabilities, Yahiko felt his body trembling and his heart pounding, but his hand gripping the sword tightly remained completely still.

It wasn't tension or fear, but an uncontrollable excitement; even his breathing became increasingly hot, and the stinging in the corners of his eyes was numbed by the frantically secreted adrenaline.

"As expected, it's precisely this kind of enemy that makes wielding a sword meaningful!"

Joyful and excited voices came from afar, and Hiruko was astonished to find that she saw pure desire in that brat.

It wasn't murderous intent, but fighting spirit.

It wasn't about splattering blood on the knife, the ground, or his own face; it was about wielding the knife, defeating his opponent—his desire was utterly pure.

Within that very thin body, the heart was pounding like a war drum!

Although the large secretion of endorphins, adrenaline, and dopamine suppressed the pain of the wound, the intense high-speed battle also greatly increased the amount of bleeding from the wound, making it impossible for him to heal his wound as quickly as Nagato.

Determined to finish the battle quickly, Yahiko moved again, disappearing like a ghost in the rain and mist as the scorching blade rose, his speed several times faster than before.

laugh! !

Amidst the churning white smoke that resembled a dragon, a bright red light surged like a swift arrow, rushing through the rain and mist like a raging torrent!

Hiruko's tail whip decisively drew a circle several meters long around her body!

Anything touched by the circle, whether it was a rain curtain or a wall, was instantly split in two!

His rich combat experience enabled him to accurately anticipate Yahiko's attack in advance!

However, Yahiko, who was moving at top speed, saw Hiruko exert her strength and jumped up in an instant, narrowly avoiding the fatal arc.

His speed, brimming with fighting spirit, had clearly broken through his original limits. The katana, gleaming with a scorching light, slashed out, and the wind barrier created by the speed swirled up white mist, splashing towards Hiruko like a python!

With the speed that his breathing technique could unleash in an instant, anyone else would be beheaded on the spot.

However, Hiruko, a veteran of countless battles, reacted even faster than Yahiko, taking in every move Yahiko made and spotting the crimson longsword that swirled with white mist and emitted a whooshing sound.

So, with a slight turn of his body, he avoided the blade's path with a tiny movement, and the crimson longsword slashed past his mask.

Click!

With a strange, crisp sound, his right arm, hidden in his wide robe, rose from below, and a cold glint of light shot from his wrist was about to sever Yahiko's arm.

Just then, white mist spilled from Yahiko's lips, his pupils shone brightly as if in broad daylight, and the rain fell on his burning body and rose up.

"How could I possibly let you escape?"

In this state, every cell in his body seemed to breathe, and power flowed through his blood vessels and bones like magma. His body temperature rose to a scalding hot level, and the katana in his hand suddenly changed speed.

His current speed wasn't even his limit. He quickly swung the scabbard from his waist, naturally blocking the blow that severed his arm.

His wrist, holding the sword, twisted instantly, causing the katana, which had been swinging down but missed, to suddenly stop and instead strike Hiruko's face from below.

Cold weapons course, first and foremost.

Sun Breathing, Second Form: Azure Sky!

The chilling rain was evaporated by the scorching blade. He sliced ​​through the rain and mist as if cutting through the biting wind, like a sun rising in the dark night, making Hiruko's empty mask appear even paler!

That's too late.

Even Hiruko never expected that this brat would seize upon her carelessness and launch such a decisive attack in an instant.

Bang! !

Almost instinctively, Hiruko didn't block, but instead raised her foot without warning and kicked Yahiko hard in front of her.

The inhuman power was released, and Yahiko was sent flying backward at a terrifying speed, as if he had been hit head-on by a rolling boulder. The sound of bones cracking was so loud it made your teeth ache and your ears ring.

Click!

He tumbled and flew to the center of the lighthouse, plunging his katana into the ground mid-air. Instantly, it was like a red-hot knife slicing into cream, leaving a long, deep chasm before he finally managed to steady himself before crashing into the wall.

"Cough cough!" Yahiko's face flushed red from the rush of blood to his head. He half-squatted in place and looked up at the tall figure in the distance.

He was certain that his strike had hit its mark.

It not only cut off the mask, but also definitely cut off the face.

However, the feeling of wielding the knife was wrong.

As expected, the figure in the distance paused for a second before slowly raising its head. The white mask attached to its face cracked in the middle and slowly slid off, revealing a face without features.

The iron-gray color and hardness were completely incompatible with flesh; all that could be seen were broken mechanical parts falling to the ground with a crisp sound.

"They actually hid themselves inside an iron shell."

Yahiko's hand, gripping the hilt of the sword, was split open and bloody. He said bitterly, "That's really cheating."

py: Naruto: You call this a scientific ninja tool?

Recommendation: As a top student majoring in military industry, it's reasonable for me to create a nuclear weapon Gundam or something in the ninja world as a scientific ninja tool, right?
