He suddenly opened his mouth as Ai approached rapidly.

"BOOM!!!!"

A sea of ​​fire once again engulfed the battlefield.

After the sea of ​​fire exploded, a mushroom cloud rose rumblingly into the sky.

A few breaths later, the scorching earth exploded with a deafening roar! A figure enveloped in lightning emerged.

Ai.

The other party was in a very sorry state at this moment.

His originally dark skin was swollen, as if it had been boiled. Clearly, even with the protection of lightning and the earth's defenses, he was still not able to withstand the power of fire.

In addition, his chakra consumption was also extremely high.

High-intensity Lightning Release activation and close-combat bursts are no easy feat. If Shingetsu Seiun were an ordinary Jonin, he could hold out for as long as he wanted, but his opponent was a top-tier expert capable of suppressing Killer Bee's Eight-Sword Style with his swordsmanship.

With the combination of Lv3 Immortal Style and Chakra Burning Technique, he had no choice but to go all out.

"Not bad Fire Release." Ai said in a deep voice.

"But with your chakra, can you unleash it again?" he said, stepping towards the God Moon Nebula.

As he moved, several visible cuts appeared on the skin of his shoulder, revealing a layer of skin that had just been steamed.

His expression remained unchanged, as if he were not the one who was injured. The lightning blazed out again, and his speed increased.

Shenyue Xingyun took a deep breath and raised the longsword in her hand.

"Clang!!!!~"

The longsword wailed, and half of its blade flew out, slicing through Shenyue Xingyun's shoulder and leaving a bloody mark.

Using the terrifying force of the impact, the latter suddenly shot backward, turning halfway around, and then used a teleportation technique to accelerate and dodge.

"Trying to run away?" Ai sneered.

Sensing that his chakra was still sufficient, he unleashed his speed and quickly caught up.

The two disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye, one after the other.

A few breaths later, the soil on the spot churned up, and the figure of Shenyue Xingyun emerged from it.

He was breathing heavily.

Chapter 212 Sunset Challenge

"It's not like you're the only one who can burrow underground."

"Indeed, you have to use your brain to win a war."

As Shenyue Xingyun spoke, she took out some ration pills to replenish her strength.

Checking the system panel, the chakra level was still close to the 20% threshold, and there was no sign of the demonic artifact awakening.

The one who just lured Ai away was his shadow clone. The characteristic of shadow clones not automatically collapsing unless they are seriously injured or more can effectively confuse opponents, and one can also sense the movements of the shadow clones in sync.

Sensing that the shadow clone was carrying Ai further and further away, Shingetsu Seiun lifted himself up and approached Namikaze Minato's battlefield.

From afar, he shouted.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

In an instant, Killer Bee, who was still locked in combat with Minato Namikaze, was jolted awake!

He wielded his longsword, creating an impenetrable wall of blades, then let out a strange cry and quickly retreated.

The fireball, of course, didn't come.

Killer Bee was furious when he realized he had been tricked.

"What's this guy doing here?! Wasn't he being chased by his older brother?"

Seeing that the opponent wasn't releasing fireballs but was just getting closer, Killer Bee thought to himself, "Could this guy be a shadow clone trying to mess with my mentality?"

In his mind, the solemn voice of the Eight-Tails resounded.

"Compare!"

"This is not a shadow clone."

"What?!" Killer Bee's heart skipped a beat. "Not a shadow clone?"

"Then why didn't he attack me?"

Eight-Tails: "...It could also be to mislead you, making you mistake it for a shadow clone."

“That makes sense.” Killer Bee nodded, then shouted, “Signal for retreat! Retreat!”

As he spoke, he quickly distanced himself from Minato Namikaze and Seiun Shingetsu.

Ai had been led away and didn't know when he would return. Facing Shingetsu Seiun and Minato Namikaze alone, he felt utterly unsafe.

The Hidden Clouds have withdrawn.

Minato Namikaze immediately flashed to Shingetsu Seiun's side.

"How about it?"

Shenyue Xingyun gently shook her head: "I'm fine."

"It's just that the consumption is a bit high."

"Oh, right!" Shen Yue Xingyun suddenly remembered something: "My sword broke, can I get it repaired?"

There were a few spare longswords in the storage space, but they were of poor quality... This was a loss incurred on official business, so it would be best to get reimbursed if possible.

Minato Namikaze was relieved and smiled, "Logically speaking, ninjas need to maintain their own weapons."

Shenyue Xingyun looked expectant upon hearing this.

In principle, that means it is permissible to violate principles.

Logically speaking, it should be possible to go beyond the norm.

As expected, Minato Namikaze continued, "However, your combat strength is now crucial to the battle situation on the northern front, so we can make an exception."

"There should be some important supplies captured at the camp. I remember there was also a decent sword. I'll talk to Jonin Yuhi and have her bring it to you."

Just then, Shenyue Xingyun suddenly raised an eyebrow.

Noticing this, Minato Namikaze asked, "What's wrong, Jonin Nebula?"

Shenyue Xingyun snapped out of her daze, smiled, and shook her head: "It's nothing, just some guy got so angry he was jumping up and down."

"Kumikage probably won't be coming again, let's go."

Back at the camp, the first thing Shenyue Xingyun did was... eat!

The soldiers' rations didn't taste very good, and after two intense battles in a row, he felt like he was starving.

Fortunately, the camp had prepared food for the ninjas on their campaign, and with the villagers' warm hospitality, Shingetsu Seiun ate his fill.

After the meal, before he could even go back to rest, Minato Namikaze dragged him to the command tent.

Even in the month of Mao (卯月), the setting sun shines.

Compared to before the second battle, Uzuki Yuhi's appearance became more 'casual,' and her eyes showed more fatigue.

Shenyue Xingyun could sense the other's exhaustion.

Upon seeing the two enter, Uzuki Yuhi nodded, her gaze lingering on Shinzuki Seiun's face for a moment before she took out her notebook.

"let us start."

Under the questioning gaze of Shingetsu Seiun, Namikaze Minato described the details of the battle one by one, which were recorded by Uzuki Yuhi.

The fighting rhythm of the Cloud Village ninjas, the effectiveness of the Leaf Village's response, and the reactions of the two sides' ninjas after a different signal is sent.

Minato Namikaze acted like an excellent observer, noting down all the information that might be useful and compiling it for Yuhi Uzuki.

After discussing the situation of ordinary ninjas, Minato Namikaze then talked about himself and Seiun Kamizuki.

The substitution tactics of the Cloud Hidden AB combination and their performance in actual combat.

Uzuki Yuhi took notes carefully. After Namikaze Minato finished speaking, she looked up and said, "A's ability is somewhat restrained by the Nebula Jonin."

"My suggestion is that, in the subsequent battles, Lord Minato, you must do your best to control the pace of the battle."

"You deal with A, and Jonin Nebula will deal with the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki."

Minato Namikaze nodded: "That's what I think too."

He looked at Shingetsu Seiun and said, "Seiun Jonin."

"In the coming period, if possible, we should practice our teamwork more."

"I can give you more of my Flying Thunder God Kunai. If you can use them properly, it shouldn't be too difficult to deal with the two of them."

Shenyue Nebula had no objections.

"no problem."

He also discovered that he was doing well against Killer Bee, but against A, he was consistently at a disadvantage.

Ultimately, it comes down to a lack of comprehensive strength.

The combination of Lv3 swordsmanship and Lv3 chakra burning technique is enough to barely reach Kage level. However, against a pure close-combat Kage-level powerhouse like A, the endurance is still insufficient.

1.2 chakra is not a small amount among Jonin or even elite Jonin, but it is not enough against Kage-level and Jinchuriki.

As for the Lv4 Great Fireball, it's also a Kage-level technique. It's just that its effectiveness is somewhat lacking.

Its scale and burst potential are good, giving it an advantage against groups of enemies or large opponents, but it is somewhat limited against powerful individuals like Ai.

The power is not concentrated enough!

These are also the two bottlenecks in his current strength: the amount of chakra and the powerful ninjutsu with concentrated attacks.

To have a better chance of dealing with the AB combination, the fastest way is to practice well with Minato Namikaze.

After the three discussed it for a while, Shenyue Xingyun finally returned to her tent, washed up thoroughly, and her fatigue was relieved considerably.

While drying my hair, I could hear the sound of the setting sun outside.
