He knew that Rukawa was not dead, but had suffered extremely serious injuries.

However, he dared not let his guard down, because his opponent was one of the top genin in Konoha.

"Whoosh!"

He pushed off with his feet and quickly darted into the forest.

"Want to run? Dreaming!"

Rukawa's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he quickly chased after him, ignoring the burning pain from the torn muscles on his body.

A pale golden flame ignited on Rukawa's body, bathing him in fire, making him appear like a god.

"Water escape. Magnificent flame bullet!"

He raised his hand, and a pale golden fireball flew out.

The fireball quickly caught up with Hozuki Mangetsu.

"Oops!"

Hozuki Mangetsu's expression changed drastically; he hadn't expected that Hozuki Mangetsu still possessed such a terrifying amount of chakra.

He quickly covered his right hand with blue-green chakra and slammed it hard at the fireball.

However, even the Water Release technique could not stop the fireball, and it was directly knocked away.

Moreover, the fireball exploded after hitting the trees, engulfing a large area in the process.

When Rukawa saw this, a hint of surprise flashed in his cold eyes.

However, he did not stop and accelerated again, preparing to take this opportunity to completely defeat his opponent.

"Boom!"

One tree after another was broken, and Rukawa got closer and closer, leaving Hozuki Mangetsu with no way out.

"Water Release: Dayama Rasengan!"

Hozuki Mangetsu gritted his teeth and spat out a sentence. He suddenly opened his hands, and a blue-green chakra bullet the size of a basketball court shot out, hitting Rukawa hard in the abdomen.

Rukawa felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and even some numbness.

"Damn it, he's still alive?"

Hozuki Mangetsu exclaimed in surprise when he saw that his attack, which he had been preparing for so long, had no effect.

This was one of his most treasured techniques! How could he still fail to defeat this young man before him?

"This guy's recovery ability is amazing! It's only been a short time, and he's already recovered?"

A sense of danger rose within him, but he absolutely could not allow this mission to fail!

"Water Release: Water Tornado!"

He formed hand seals again, and a tornado hundreds of meters long appeared, raging wildly, trying to completely annihilate Rukawa.

"Earth Release: Rock Concealment Technique!"

Rukawa clasped his hands together, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and was enveloped by a thick layer of mud and stone.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

The tornado swept wildly, but it couldn't destroy the Hidden Rock Technique.

"what?!"

Hozuki Mangetsu's expression changed slightly.

It was only then that he realized that Rukawa's left arm had disappeared.

His face was gloomy. In this state, with this strength, did he really have the qualifications to compete with the Uchiha clan?

"You shouldn't have provoked me."

Rukawa appeared in front of Hozuki Mangetsu, and a cold voice rang in his ear.

"Whoosh!"

Hozuki Mangetsu was horrified and quickly dodged to the side.

However, two kunai appeared in Rukawa's hands behind him, and he suddenly threw them out.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Hozuki Mangetsu's face was contorted in a ferocious expression, and his figure flickered continuously.

"pity..."

Rukawa shook his head.

Just now, his two kunai pierced Hozuki Mangetsu's back, but only pierced his clothes; his defensive power far exceeded Rukawa's expectations.

"you wanna die!"

Hozuki Mangetsu roared angrily, and with a flick of his wrist, a burst of water surged forth.

"Water Release: Water Blade Cutting Technique!"

A water blade suddenly appeared and struck Rukawa directly in the neck.

Rukawa reacted swiftly, blocking with his twin swords, and a clanging sound was heard.

However, Hozuki Mangetsu took this opportunity to leave the spot.

"call out!"

Hozuki Mangetsu was incredibly fast, arriving in front of Rukawa in the blink of an eye.

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

Hozuki Mangetsu pushed out with both palms, and towering waves of water surged and crashed towards Rukawa.

Lightning Release: Chidori Stream!

Rukawa leaped into the air, his hands transforming into lightning swords, slashing fiercely at the oncoming towering waves.

The destructive power of lightning is undeniable. A single strike can easily split an ocean in two, let alone ordinary water.

"Zi la la!"

The giant wave was split in two, but Rukawa was also thrown backward by the shockwave carried by the wave.

His body crashed heavily to the ground, a trickle of bright red blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"You bastard..."

He struggled to his feet, his eyes bloodshot, staring with intense hatred at the tall figure in front of him.

"Cough cough!"

He clutched his chest, gasping for breath, blood continuously oozing from his mouth.

However, he did not give in.

Rukawa took a deep breath, his legs suddenly exerted force, and he shot out with astonishing speed.

"Water Release: Giant Water Ball!"

Hozuki Mangetsu had anticipated that Rukawa would attack again, so his Water Release technique was much more powerful than before.

"Boom!"

The water column shot into the sky, as if piercing through the heavens, illuminating the entire forest as if it were daytime.

However, Rukawa's speed did not decrease at all, and he directly charged into the water.

"what?!"

Hozuki Mangetsu felt a jolt in his heart and wanted to run away.

However, he only took one step before Rukawa grabbed his shoulder.

"boom!"

With one punch, Hozuki Mangetsu was forced to his knees.

"Wow!"

Hozuki Mangetsu coughed up a mouthful of scarlet blood and struggled to his feet.

His body was slightly bent as he looked at Rukawa, his pupils filled with unspeakable resentment.

"Heh, you think you've already won just like that?!"

Rukawa's face was pale, but he still stood proudly in front of Hozuki Mangetsu, and said calmly, "So what?"

A kunai appeared in his hand at some point, the very weapon that had killed Itachi.

"This thing is a forbidden weapon of your Uchiha clan!"

Hozuki Mangetsu narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with a cold glint.

When he saw the pitch-black kunai, his heart skipped a beat.

Although Rukawa's strength was weak, his potential was unparalleled in his life, which made him extremely jealous!

"Regardless of whose it is, it belongs to me now!"

Rukawa sneered, a bloodthirsty glint flashing in his eyes.

Hozuki Mangetsu's heart skipped a beat when he saw Rukawa's eyes.

It was an almost obsessive gaze.

He seemed to understand that Rukawa was no longer afraid of life or death.

"How brave!"

Hozuki Mangetsu's expression hardened, and he formed hand seals, shouting, "Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

"~Splash!"

The giant waves surged and roared, sweeping straight towards the Liuchuan River.

"Hoohoo!"

Rukawa clenched his fists, fingers together, and unleashed a Lightning Release: Chidori straight at the giant wave.

"Oh!"

A tremendous explosion rang out as Lightning Release and Great Waterfall Technique clashed.

However, it was clear that with Rukawa's full effort, the Great Waterfall Technique was ultimately torn apart!

"No!"

Hozuki Mangetsu's expression changed as he saw Rukawa kick out.

He tried to dodge, but Rukawa's speed was many times faster than before.

"Clap!"

Rukawa's right foot landed directly on Hozuki Mangetsu's cheek, crushing the bridge of his nose.

"Well!"

Hozuki Mangetsu let out a muffled groan as his nasal bone completely broke, instantly blocking the air in his nasal cavity and making it extremely difficult for him to breathe.

He raised his head, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Rukawa, filled with resentment and fear.

He actually lost to a kid he didn't even know?!

Moreover, this kid's strength far surpasses his own, even if he uses the three-tomoe Sharingan!

"Pfft!"

He felt a sweet taste in his throat, and then blood gushed out.

"Die!"

Rukawa's eyes gleamed with a fierce light as he slashed down with his sword!

"Shh!"

Blood splattered everywhere. Hozuki Mangetsu stared wide-eyed at the wound on his chest in disbelief.

He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but no sound came out.
