Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 266 Scorching Release - High-Temperature Compression Heat Source Blade

"Watch out for her attacks!"

Suigetsu Hozuki, sensing the antagonistic feeling emanating from Samehada, gave a reminder.

The fact that the Samehada sword could make contact with it indicates that the heat source sword in Yekura's hand was still very hot.

call out!

Kurisakure Kushimaru's long sword, Sewing Needle, shot from a distance with great speed and penetrating power—a characteristic of Sewing Needle.

"My Scorch Release isn't the same Scorch Release I used to be!"

Ye Cang sneered, turned to the side and raised his hand to strike, the high-temperature compressed heat source blade in his hand precisely cutting into the long knife and needle that shot towards him.

It has the high-speed penetration of a long-bladed needle, capable of piercing the palm of a leaf-shaped hand before the high-temperature compressed heat source melts.

The high-temperature compression heat source knife is still more powerful, melting the long scalpel needle before it pierces the palm.

The difference in strength and weakness was immediately apparent.

The moment the two collided, the long knife and needle melted and vaporized, from the needle tip to the handle, instantly turning into liquid metal and gas that splashed everywhere.

"My brother-in-law was right after all!"

"Extreme high temperature is the most powerful property of Scorch Release!"

Watching the long sword and sewing needle melt instantly like cheese under the high-temperature compressed heat source condensed in his hand, Ye Cang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile.

At that moment, she was so glad that she had listened to her brother-in-law's advice.

Instead of being complacent about the characteristic of the Scorching Strike technique evaporating human body moisture, we should grasp the high-temperature nature of the Scorching Strike technique and continue to refine the intensity of related property changes.

Extremely high temperatures are far more powerful than the property of evaporating water vapor.

After a year of development and practical application, Yekura finally completed a further enhancement of the nature of the Scorching Release chakra a week ago, and finally developed the Scorching Release ninjutsu with a temperature of tens of thousands of degrees - Piercing Flash.

What does a temperature of tens of thousands of degrees mean?

Let me put it this way.

The temperature of the molten steel is around 1300 degrees Celsius.

The surface temperature of the sun is only 5000 degrees.

At temperatures exceeding 10,000 degrees Celsius, any metal object that comes into contact with it will instantly vaporize.

However, temperatures exceeding 10,000 degrees Celsius are not so easy to control.

Under the guidance of her brother-in-law Li Yao's Wind Release clone, Yekura created the Scorching Release: Piercing Flash, which has a temperature of tens of thousands of degrees, by increasing the temperature of a large amount of Scorching Release chakra through expansion and contraction, and then releasing it through ultra-high-speed flow.

However, this move consumes too much chakra.

Yekura can only unleash one attack now; another one and she won't have enough chakra for the battle.

However, the 5,000-degree high-temperature compression heat source knife that Yekura is using now is sufficient.

At temperatures approaching those of the sun's surface, most substances would melt or even vaporize instantly upon contact.

This powerful attack is in no way inferior to the Third Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode One-Hit Punch.

It can be said that Yekura at this point could already be treated as a Kage-level powerhouse.

"What?!"

"Even the long scalpel and sewing needle melted from such high-speed penetration!"

When Suigetsu Hobuki and the others saw the long sword and needle instantly melt and vaporize, their hearts tightened. They immediately withdrew their attacking swords and carefully avoided the high-temperature compressed heat source sword in Yekura's hand, no longer daring to engage in close combat with Yekura.

Even the high-speed penetrating attacks of a long knife and a needle could not penetrate the high-temperature compressed heat source knife.

The swords in their hands were not fast to begin with, and once they made contact, they were even less able to withstand the high temperature of Yekura's Scorching Release.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are called the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist because most of their strength requires the assistance of ninja swords.

Once they lose their ninja swords, they are only at the level of ordinary Jonin.

Thus, Suigetsu Hozuki and the others, who did not want their greatswords to be destroyed, began a mid-to-long-range coordinated battle using ninjutsu and taijutsu.

Clang, clang... The swords in the hands of the kunai flew together, blocking Ye Cang's movements and forcing her to stay in the encirclement of the crowd.

Bang bang... The explosion of the detonating spheres further blocked Yekura's movement trajectory.

At the same time, various lightning and water ninjutsu techniques flew out, launching a wide-range attack on Pakura.

Faced with the perfectly coordinated attack of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

Even with a high-temperature compressed heat source blade that can melt everything, Yekura could only run around tirelessly for the time being.

Yekura's high-temperature compression heat source blade attack is indeed very powerful!

However, the lack of speed and perception, or rather, the insufficient strength, is the reason why Yekura has not been able to truly become a Kage-level powerhouse.

She is still young, only about sixteen years old, and needs time to grow.

If she is given another year or two to allow the Scorching Release chakra to better integrate and adapt to her physical cells, her body will become even stronger, and her speed and reaction will be upgraded to the level of a Kage-level powerhouse.

Once the speed and reaction time are up, especially the reaction time...

With her Super-High Temperature Scorching Release, Yekura will be one of the strongest among Kage-level shinobi.

Right now... Yekura is still a bit lacking.

Furthermore, as the battle progressed, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, having adapted to Pakura's attacks, discovered another weakness in her.

"Quickly, continue to deplete her chakra!"

"Her chakra is running low!"

The battle lasted for several minutes, involving no less than a hundred rounds. Yekura used the high-temperature compressed heat source swords she held in her hands to fight them with taijutsu, only occasionally using other ninjutsu to defend against their attacks. She no longer used the extremely fast and undefendable ray attacks that she had used at the beginning.

Suigetsu Hobuki and the others finally realized that although Yekura was powerful, she was only a Jonin after all, and her chakra reserves were not as terrifying as those of a Kage.

Furthermore, the more powerful the ninjutsu, the more chakra it consumes.

With his chakra reserves dwindling, Yekura was no longer able to unleash the terrifying high-temperature compressed heat ray attack he had used at the beginning.

She can only prolong the duration of her battle with them by using physical attacks.

In that case, they should accelerate the depletion of Pakura's chakra.

"Water Release - Great Waterfall Wave!"

"Lightning Release - Falling Stars!"

Suigetsu Hobuki and Kurosuki Raiga used a wide-range water and lightning ninjutsu combination, while the others also began to frantically use wide-range ninjutsu to deplete Pakura's chakra and stamina.

For a moment, Yecang had no choice but to remove the high-temperature compressed heat source blade from his hand and use the high-temperature wall to defend himself.

This exacerbated her chakra depletion.

"Lord Hayakura!"

The Sand Ninja squad left behind to help Pakura was completely useless. They could only watch helplessly in the face of such a large-scale attack, and even needed Pakura's help to survive.

In the ninja world, the strong are respected.

Sometimes, it is more liberating and enjoyable to fight alone.

The worst thing you can do is not recognize your own limitations and think you are helping others when you are actually dragging them down.

Ye Cang had no time to spare for anything else at this point.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are, after all, experienced and powerful fighters with quick reflexes. The fact that she has managed to remain unharmed with the help of the seven of them is quite remarkable.

She didn't have the energy to create another opening for the three remaining Sand Ninja squad members to escape.

As the battle dragged on, Yekura began to gasp for breath, and two of her three remaining companions had died, leaving only one alive.

"Huff huff..."

Yecang was panting heavily, fighting while praying silently in his heart.

Why isn't that bastard brother-in-law here yet!

If you don't come soon, I can't hold on any longer!

Before coming to their aid, Yekura already knew that her brother-in-law, the Fourth Kazekage, was almost at their base.

During this period, they sent out various teams to investigate the locations of the various strongholds of the Hidden Mist, so that they could eliminate them one by one after Li Yao's Wind Escape clones arrived.

We should quickly frighten Kirigakure, then send a portion of our forces to the Land of Rivers to conquer it and tie down some of Konoha's forces.

After learning that her brother-in-law, the Fourth Kazekage, had developed a new Wind Release slash, Yekura possessed an ability to sense objects over extremely long distances.

Once he arrives at the base, he will be able to sense what's happening here.

As long as her brother-in-law comes, Yekura believes that the so-called Seven Ninja Swordsmen are nothing more than lambs to the slaughter.

Compared to her attack speed, her brother-in-law's Wind Release slash was faster and more terrifying.

Just as everyone else trusted her, Ye Cang also deeply trusted the strength of Li Yaofeng's clone.
