Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 467 Terrified

"There's no escaping it!"

Seeing that Suigetsu Hozuki had hidden in the sea, Kai's expression did not change. He braced his left leg and thrust his hip forward, assuming a sprinting posture.

Rumble!

As he charged forward, a trench about ten meters wide was ploughed out of the entire sea surface.

He used the explosive speed he generated to compress the surrounding air in the most violent and shocking way.

It pushed aside the surrounding seawater, forming a channel that leads directly to the seabed.

It's like a high-speed train plunging into the sea along a track that leads to the ocean floor.

With an unstoppable momentum, it carved out a vacuum zone in the seawater where no water existed.

"Isn't this... a bit too much!"

As a splash of water fell, all the ninjas who witnessed this scene, whether they were from the Mist Village or the Leaf Village, were affected.

Looking at the passageways that Kai had cleared away and that hadn't returned to their original state for a long time, as well as the towering waves, they could hardly believe their eyes.

"Just now... all of this... was caused by physical techniques?"

Among so many people, there were certainly ninjas who knew their stuff.

Having witnessed Kai's outburst, he rubbed his dislocated jaw and then pinched his thigh hard, only then realizing that he wasn't under a spell.

"Genma...have we been too complacent?"

Watching his companion unleash his power, Ebisu was somewhat lost in thought. He and Genma seemed to have been stagnating for the past few years.

And since Kai, that hot-blooded idiot, has already reached this level of strength, shouldn't we all work harder too?

"Hmm...we should try to avoid going to Peach Blossom Paradise too often in the future!"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Ebisu, as if having made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said:

"Once the money on our membership card is used up, we'll never go again!"

"..."

It's all the Hokage's fault! Why did he have to take them to Peach Blossom Spring? They haven't improved at all...

Bang!

Just as Genma and Ebisu were lost in their thoughts, a huge splash suddenly erupted from the sea, which had been gradually calming down.

Needless to say, this was the result of Kai's actions.

"That black dot that just flew into the sky, was that... Watermelon Mountain?"

Ignoring the spray of water flying everywhere, a rather strange figure caught the attention of everyone present.

"It looks like... a pufferfish?"

The black dot was faintly visible, and there was also a human-shaped trace, but... it looked more like a fat fish.

In the distance, Mei Terumi, who was entangled with the Konoha ninja in front of her, had already forced the Ino-Shika-Cho trio to retreat steadily and was about to call for backup.

A black figure interrupted her subsequent attack.

"You are... a pufferfish demon?"

Looking at what was in front of her, which resembled a fat, inflated pufferfish more than a human, Mei Terumi almost lost control and spat a mouthful of corrosive acid onto the other party.

"This is absolutely outrageous! How can a ninja have such a physique? You're not from the Akimichi clan on the other side!"

After complaining about her companion's laxity, Mei Terumi turned her gaze to a figure rushing towards them.

"Judging by their momentum... they're going to be a tough opponent!"

On the other side, Kai, in order to catch up with Suigetsu Hozuki, whom he had blasted away, did not hesitate at all. He directly cut through the sea at his fastest speed and rushed towards this side.

It truly cleaved the sea surface; its speed was so great that the air ripples it created left a long white trail on the surface that lingered for a long time.

"Kai...you arrived just in time!"

Upon seeing Guy, Nara Shikaku breathed a sigh of relief. He knew roughly about Might Guy's situation, so it was normal for Guy to chase after Suigetsu Hozuki.

I never expected that it would solve my immediate problem.

"Mei Terumi, can you block this for me?"

Upon seeing Kai's figure, the pufferfish wiped the blood from the corner of its mouth, and without the slightest hesitation, leaped back into the water and began to run away again.

His arrival at Mei Terumi's battlefield was not accidental, but a calculated move. He knew that on the entire battlefield, no one except Mei Terumi could stop that freak on the other side.

It's perfectly reasonable for this woman to leave him with the rearguard and let him create an opportunity for her to escape.

"Cowardly rats..."

Watching the obese figure, now one with Samehada, disappear into the sea, Mei Terumi cursed angrily, gritting her teeth inwardly.

This guy is already terrified; we can't let him be Samehada's master anymore. If he's still alive when we get back to the village, we'll definitely settle the score with him for what happened today.

Water Release: Water Dragon Barrage

"Water Release·Water Wave"

Although she was unhappy, this guy was still a comrade of the Mist Ninja, and she wouldn't just watch her comrade be killed by the Konoha ninja.

Of course, that's all.

"break!!"

At this moment, Kai, facing the continuous harassment of the Water Dragon Bullets and the large-scale Water Release attacks in front of him, did not hesitate at all.

He threw a punch right away.

"This is... it's been breached?"

Seeing the other party's response, even the well-informed Mei Terumi could hardly believe her eyes.

What did she see?

The water jets I used to harass the opponent were smashed into scattered water droplets by the opponent, leaving only the water jets to intercept the opponent.

A simple, unadorned punch from the opponent created a hole nearly three meters in diameter that lingered for a long time.

The blue-green figure passed through the three-meter-wide hole and shot off into the distance at a speed that even it couldn't quite keep up with.

"Your village's ninjas... are truly unique!"

Watching the figure that was about to disappear, Mei Terumi turned her gaze to the trio in front of her.

I really don't know how to even begin to complain.

"...Kai...he's always like this!"

Seeing that Kai completely ignored his greeting and chased after Suigetsu Hobutsu, Nara Shikaku's expression turned somewhat bitter.

They finally found a savior, but it turned out the savior completely disregarded them.

"It seems it's about time to retreat!"

After surveying the battlefield, Mei Terumi found no trace of Toshiro Uchiha, which both puzzled and reassured her.

Seeing that the Mist Ninja around her, who were helping their comrades buy time, were gradually becoming exhausted, she didn't intend to linger any longer.

He directly ordered Ao, who was being pursued and intercepted by Hyuga clan ninjas not far away:

"Qing, signal everyone, it's almost time to retreat!"

Just as Mei Terumi gave the order to begin organizing the retreat of the Kirigakure ninja.

"Damn it, this brat's strength... this is troublesome!"

Watermelon Mountain, transformed into a fat, monstrous fish, looked at the figure above him, his deformed face filled with despair.

This kid used to be nothing more than a weakling I could crush with a flick of my wrist. It's only been a few years, and not only has he learned Might Guy's technique, he's reached this level!

And that woman, Mei Terumi, only made a token effort to stop him slightly, and then ignored him completely.

Water Release: Water Clone Technique

Hidden underwater and using the water as cover, Suigetsu Hozuki split into more than thirty water clones, which fled in different directions.

He gradually realized that his opponent didn't seem to be very proficient in ninjutsu and planned to use clones to confuse the situation.

As for staying here to have a proper fight with the opponent, he had already given up on that idea the moment the opponent used that ninjutsu.

Bang!

His idea was good, but although his opponent wasn't very proficient in ninjutsu, he still had ways to counter it.

With another full-force punch, Kai shattered the water beneath his feet, simultaneously blasting his clones out of the water. He didn't hesitate at all.

"Morning Peacock"

Nothing is more suitable for dealing with such a large number of targets.

"It's that kind of attack again!"

"Water Release·Water Formation Wall"

Seeing this, the clones of Suigetsu Hozuki acted swiftly, each using ninjutsu to defend themselves.

Although he was cowardly, Suigetsu wasn't a complete idiot. He knew that the opponent's ninjutsu was a highly explosive one, and that as long as he could stall the opponent, he would definitely be able to turn the tide.

"It seems we have no other choice but to use that method!"

Seeing the opponent's numerous clones and the water wall formation they continuously cast, Kai frowned slightly.

Then he landed on the sea, clenched his fists, crossed them in front of him, and began to gather his strength.

"The Seventh Gate, the Gate of Shock - Opens"

Upon witnessing this scene, Xiguashan felt as if his heart had been violently tugged, and his face turned deathly pale.

They dared not linger any longer, and while the enemy was still gathering strength, they plunged back into the sea and scattered once more.

"It's no use. With my new technique, you won't even have time to escape!"

With his white eyes wide open, puffs of blue steam began to rise from Kai's body, even pushing the surrounding seawater away because of this steam.

"This punch is to honor my deceased father, so... savor all the effort I've put in over the years!"

Staring at the sea beneath his feet, Kai assumed a punching stance familiar to ninjas, and then…

"Daytime Tiger!!"

Rumble!

A blinding white light, followed by a deafening thud, drew the attention of everyone on the battlefield.

"Shikaku... I heard... that Kai... is good at hand-to-hand combat?"

Looking into the distance at the white cloud that enveloped the surrounding area for two or three hundred meters, Yamanaka Inoichi stiffly turned his neck, somewhat unable to believe the rumors he had heard.

What a joke! If that's physical skill, then what are our secret techniques?

Is he trash who can't even beat someone in physical combat?

"..."

P.S.: That's all for today.
