Zongman: Starting with the Samsara Eye, I Became the God of Ninja World

"Boom!"

The loud explosion echoed around them, but it did not cause any real harm to the two of them.

"Is it a water clone...?"

Rukawa took a deep breath. He hadn't expected that this man named Yu Gao could use the Split Technique.

"Hehe, now you know how powerful I am, right?"

Yu Gao revealed a wicked smile of triumph.

However, at this moment, Rukawa's expression changed slightly, because Utakata's expression became even more gloomy.

"Damn it, it's Lightning Release: Lightning Blade!"

Utakata said angrily. He had indeed intended to kill Rukawa with Raikiri, but he had overlooked the powerful paralyzing effect that Raikiri had.

"boom!"

Raiche struck him hard in the abdomen.

"Pfft-"

Yu Gao was sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Yu Gao clutched his injured abdomen, his face grim.

He couldn't understand why his Raiche had failed.

This enraged him. How could he, a student of the elite class of the Konoha Ninja Academy, lose to a mere recruit? It was an absolute disgrace!

"Hmph! You bastard, I'm going to cripple you today!"

Yu Gao glared fiercely at Rukawa.

This time he was serious; he raised his right leg and kicked out.

"Boom!"

"Crack!"

This whip kick contained extremely terrifying power, even causing the air to explode.

A fierce fighting spirit shone in Rukawa's eyes as he swiftly formed hand seals: "Secret Technique: Earth Flow Wall!"

The next moment, his chest swelled up, and stone slabs emerged.

"Oh!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Rukawa coughed up a mouthful of blood and flew backward.

However, the next moment, a dark shadow flashed by; it was the same clone from before.

He placed one hand on Rukawa's back to help him absorb the impact.

"Whoosh, whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Rukawa was panting, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. If he hadn't reacted in time, he would have been pierced through the body.

"Hmph! Let's see how long you can hold out!"

Yu Gao watched this scene with a cold smile on his lips.

"call out!"

With a flick of his right hand, a short sword shot out at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

Rukawa's pupils contracted, he raised his left arm in front of him, and then pushed it away forcefully.

"clang!"

A short sword was stuck in Rukawa's left arm.

"At this level, it shouldn't hurt your body, right?"

Yu Gao's face was full of mockery. Seeing this scene, his expression became even more ferocious, as if he were the hunter who had victory in his grasp.

"Aaaaah! You deserve to die!"

With a roar, all the mud and sand on his body disappeared, and a set of dark red armor covered his entire body.

"Hehe, looks like you're prepared to go all out! Not bad, not bad, I like it, hahaha!"

Yu Gao laughed arrogantly.

"Earth Escape - Earth Shakes!"

Immediately, a deafening sound resounded, and the earth began to tremble violently, as if the end of the world had arrived.

"Oops!"

Rukawa felt the ground shaking violently and was greatly alarmed. He immediately used Earth Release to defend himself.

"Earth Release·Earth Dragon Bullet!"

"boom!"

Yellowish-brown rock fragments flew everywhere. Rukawa barely managed to stand, but the panic in his eyes revealed his inner unease.

"Do you think you're the only one who can use earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic/escaping technique)?"

Just then, Utakata's voice suddenly reached Rukawa's ears.

The next second, his eyelids twitched, and a shuriken came flying at him.

"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wave Technique!"

Rukawa quickly used the Excavated Wall technique, but it was too late.

"Oh!"

The shuriken pierced his shoulder, creating a cloud of dust, while Rukawa was thrown to the ground.

This time, Rukawa was seriously injured, but the pain was nothing compared to his surprise.

Rukawa's eyes widened. Although he wasn't a specialist in Earth Release, he was still very knowledgeable about it.

He never expected that the boy named Yu Gao would know so much about earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic that can be used to escape from the earth).

And most importantly, this guy's strength was far superior to his, almost reaching the peak of the genin level.

"This guy..."

Rukawa gritted his teeth; he was already seriously injured and had no chance against Yugao.

"What should I do? What should I do?"

Rukawa grew anxious.

Suddenly, a crazy idea popped into his mind, but it vanished in an instant.

He took a deep breath, slowly stood up, stared at Yu Gao and said, "Since I can't beat you, then I'll gamble my life with you."

"Oh?"

Yu Gao's face was mocking as he said contemptuously, "You, a mere Jonin, dare to gamble your life with me?"

"Humph!"

Rukawa snorted coldly, ignoring the other party, and silently used his chakra.

"Hmph! Pretending to be something you're not."

Yu Gao's eyes were filled with disgust; he refused to believe that Rukawa would choose to gamble his life with him.

He felt that Rukawa was just putting on an act.

"Wind Release: Blizzard Technique!"

"Shh!"

Rukawa suddenly opened his eyes, his hands forming hand seals at lightning speed.

The next moment, a fierce storm arose, and countless tiny whirlwinds completely enveloped Yu Gao.

"Hmph, I told you I wouldn't care about an attack of your level!"

"Earth Escape Technique: Luxurious Earth-Splitting Slash!"

"Boom!"

Utaka threw a punch, and the powerful force instantly destroyed Rukawa's attack.

"Hmph, I advise you to stop struggling and just obediently await your death!"

Yu Gao said indifferently.

"boom!"

The next moment, a dazzling light burst forth from Rukawa's eyes.

"Boom!"

The sky collapsed.

"What!!"

Yu Gao's pupils contracted, and he felt his vision blurring, as if something was interfering with him.

"Crack, click, click!"

A sound of shattering glass came from beside his feet. Looking down, he saw that it was a fragment of hard rock.

"Damn it! What on earth is going on? Why is this happening?"

Yu Gao roared angrily. He felt his vision return to normal, but his body remained in the same state as before.

"This is bad! This is an illusion!"

Yu Gao's expression changed, and he quickly used Sage Chakra.

"Immortal Technique: Thousand Birds Sharp Spear!"

However, the next moment, Rukawa struck again, sending jet-black kunai straight for Utakata's throat, blocking all his escape routes.

"Damn it, damn it, it's an illusion?!"

Yu Gao cursed angrily.

However, his movements did not slow down at all, and shuriken formed from chakra shot out in all directions.

"Bang bang bang!"

Rukawa's kunai clashed with Utakata's shuriken.

A surge of chakra rippled outwards, and Rukawa and Utakata retreated to opposite sides simultaneously.

"Pfft!"

Rukawa coughed again, and a trickle of blood spilled from his mouth.

He had three broken ribs.

His face was filled with utter horror, for he knew that Yu Gao was a formidable enemy.

"Hehe, Rukawa-kun."

Yu Gao licked his lips: "Do you know why you (Qian Hao Zhao) can't beat me?"

"Because you are too weak!"

"what?"

Rukawa was slightly taken aback.

"The existence of geniuses like us is to tell you that there are always people more capable than you."

Yu arrogantly declared, "So, trash like you can be taken care of in one move!"

After saying that, Yu Gao immediately made his move.

"Fire Release: Flame Killing Technique!"

A long, fiery dragon appeared in mid-air.
