Kakashi followed suit, nodding his chin at the puppeteer he had just chosen.
The latter was taken aback at first, then his face turned angry. After snorting coldly, he followed Kakashi and rushed out in another direction, quickly disappearing into the dense forest.
"Yakura! Shingo!"
A fierce glint flashed in Chiyo's eyes, and then she saw a golden light rushing towards her. She quickly pulled it out with both hands.
Whoosh—!
A crawling insect-shaped puppet suddenly straightened up, raising a shield on its back to block Chiyo's path! Almost simultaneously, a golden flash appeared in front of the puppet; it was Minato Namikaze, thrusting his kunai forward fiercely!
—Salamander!
clang--!!!
Amidst the piercing clang of metal, Minato's kunai left only a faint white mark on the puppet shield.
Using the recoil, he instantly retreated, avoiding the "crows" and "black ants" that silently attacked from both sides of his body. He stood still again dozens of meters away and said softly, "As expected of Elder Chiyo, you are indeed very powerful."
As he spoke, Minato Namikaze glanced to his side and noticed that Obito and Rin Nohara had already run far away with the other two Sand Ninja.
These Sand Ninja knew the power of the "Yellow Flash." Rather than staying here and risking their lives with kunai at any moment, they figured it was better to run far away and have a chance of survival. They might even be able to get a couple of kills, since these kids didn't seem that strong…
Chiyo tacitly approved of all this, then looked at Minato Namikaze with a gloomy face:
"Hmph, you greenhorn, are you mocking this old woman?"
Chiyo has now confirmed that Minato Namikaze's "Flying Thunder God Technique" is far faster and more agile than expected, and is indeed something that ordinary Sand Ninja cannot withstand. Even Chiyo herself, if she had been slightly careless just now, might have been assassinated by Minato Namikaze.
Without the protection of a puppeteer, a puppeteer's physical strength is no stronger than that of an ordinary ninja, and may even be weaker.
but……
Is the "Flying Thunder God" technique really that powerful?
Or is Minato Namikaze an exception?
It's important to know that Tobirama Senju, the last ninja known to have mastered the "Flying Thunder God Technique," died at the hands of the Gold and Silver Brothers of Kumogakure. This is the main reason why Sunagakure didn't take the "Yellow Flash" too seriously...
(Never mind, there's no point in thinking about it.)
Chiyo suppressed her distracting thoughts and sneered, "Minato Namikaze! Don't think you're invincible just because you have a space-time ninjutsu! When I was fighting against the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, you were probably playing in the mud somewhere!"
"kill!"
With a furious shout, Chiyo's fingers danced across the air as she used chakra threads to control "Crow" and "Black Ant" to attack Minato Namikaze once more. Meanwhile, "Salamander" remained in place, wary of any sudden attack from Minato.
Faced with this fierce offensive, Minato Namikaze dared not be careless. Holding a kunai, he fought and retreated while constantly observing Chiyo's situation, looking for an opportunity to assassinate her at close range.
Judging from what we've just seen, conventional thrusting attacks are unlikely to break through the "Salamander's" defenses. To achieve this, more powerful offensive techniques are needed, such as...
"Should we use that technique?"
"However, that technique is not yet fully developed, and there might be mistakes. If the first attack fails, it will be difficult to find a second chance..."
Minato Namikaze was dealing with the two puppets while pondering something.
Faintly,
His gaze swept towards the direction where Yu Mikami, Yekura, Kakashi, and the others had just left. Listening to the faint sounds of explosions and clashing swords coming from that direction, his mind raced: "Yu and Kakashi... they should be alright, right?"
Chapter 124 is about superhuman strength; I've added superhuman strength! (Third update)
at the same time.
Several hundred meters away from the main battlefield, there was another relatively open clearing in the woods.
With a dull thud, Ye Cang slammed into a thick tree trunk, which groaned under the weight, sending splinters flying. She endured the excruciating pain in her arms and the churning of her blood, using her feet to push off the tree trunk and roll to the side to dodge.
Almost the instant she left her spot, Mikami Yu's fist slammed into the spot where she had just been hit!
boom!
The hard tree trunk was smashed into a huge dent, and cracks spread like a spider web!
"Did you miss...?"
Mikami Yu missed his first attack, and immediately twisted his body to pounce on Yekura again.
The latter was filled with shock and anger, but because the numbness in his arms had not completely subsided, he could only awkwardly twist and dodge, while simultaneously launching a flying kick at Mikami Yu's waist and abdomen, trying to force him to retreat in this way!
Snapped!
With lightning speed, Mikami Yu grabbed Yekura's ankle with precise hand movements and pulled her back sharply, sending her flying through the air! But Yekura's reaction was equally swift. In the instant her body was airborne, she braced herself with one hand on the ground for leverage, and with her other leg, she delivered a powerful kick to Mikami Yu's temple!
This kick came with tremendous force, enough to split a monument or shatter a stone!
At the critical moment, Mikami Yu tilted his head back, raised his arm, and slammed the hand that was grabbing Yekura's ankle downwards!
Bang!
Yekura was slammed to the ground, and amidst the flying dust, she finally had a chance to use "Scorching Release: Over-Steam Kill". The surging flames transformed into a blazing palm shape, grabbing at Mikami Yu from a distance, but he dodged it by flashing backward.
Taking this opportunity,
Ye Cang scrambled to his feet, quickly creating distance. His chest heaved violently as he gasped for breath, staring at Mikami Yu with a look of shock and disbelief: "How is this possible... How could your taijutsu have improved so quickly?!"
They had a brief encounter at the border last time.
At that time, the two sides could barely be considered evenly matched. Whether it was the clash of taijutsu or the duel between fire and scorching styles, Yekura did not gain a significant advantage, but she also believed that she had not suffered any losses.
Previously, Yekura had gained Chiyo's favor and received a lot of guidance on combat techniques. She thought she could defeat Mikami Yu in one fell swoop and get revenge, but from the very beginning of the battle, when she was blocking with her arms, she was caught in her opponent's rhythm.
This left Yekura feeling both frustrated and horrified.
—What happened? Did Mikami Yu not use his full strength last time?
Or has the other party made progress in less than half a month?
The answer to this question is...
Superhuman strength.
Yu Mikami added superhuman strength.
Yekura wasn't a ninja known for her taijutsu (physical combat). While her skill level was decent, as a woman, she was weaker in strength than male ninjas of the same age. In their last encounter, Mikami Yu was only slightly inferior to her in taijutsu, and superior in swordsmanship. But now…
As the "Super Strength Technique" reached a friendly stage, Mikami Yu only needed to exert a little force to make it difficult for Yokura to cope.
That's enough for the warm-up.
Mikami Yu gently flexed his wrist, his calm gaze fixed on Yekura: "It's time to get serious."
"...That's what I wanted to say too."
Yekura coldly stared at Mikami Yu, took out a kunai from his ninja tool pouch, and then, while lunging forward, held his free hand in front of him, channeling his chakra: "Scorching Release... Star Link!"
"Water Release: Water Chaos Waves!"
Yuya Mikami also formed hand seals at the same time.
Although he hadn't used Water Release much lately, the favorability rating of "Water Chaos Wave" had already reached over 80. When he used it now, it was quite impressive. The surging water formed a fan-shaped wave that crashed hard into the Scorching Release fireball flying from Yecang's side!
With a sickening hissing sound, the Scorching Fireball wasn't extinguished like a regular Water Release attack. Instead, it unleashed a violent chain reaction! Blinding white light entangled with water vapor, expanded, and exploded! This created a towering plume of high-temperature steam that spread outwards!
The steam blocked their view of each other.
Ye Cang felt a chill run down his spine and instinctively stopped in his tracks.
Through the misty white fog, she vaguely saw Mikami Yu opposite her. His figure blurred for a moment, then split into numerous phantom clones and water clones, surrounding Yekura and completely enveloping her. Each one assumed a sword-wielding stance, radiating a chilling killing intent and oppressive aura!
"Instant Shadow Killing Formation—Activate!"
then,
Just like Minato Namikaze's "Spiral Flash Super Wheel Dance Roar Three Styles" from moments before, Yu Mikami's figure suddenly moved, forming a silver storm that began to traverse at high speed within an area of tens of meters, unleashing "Hatake Sword Technique" to slash at Yekura!
clang!!!
With just the first cut, Yekura, holding the kunai, felt a sharp pain in her arm and numbness in the space between her thumb and forefinger.
But then, a dense barrage of blades swept in like a storm! Ye Cang had no time to catch his breath, pushing his body to its limits, and with the help of the blazing white fireballs surrounding him, he wasn't directly defeated. But he still felt powerless.
No!
too fast!
At this rate, I'm afraid I'll be defeated very soon!
Yecang gritted his teeth and desperately squeezed out the chakra in his body, forming more than a dozen blazing white fireballs of the Scorching Release. They tightly circled around him, forming a defensive ring that resembled a Truth-Seeking Ball and consisted of rotating fireballs!
These fireballs, like a carousel, completely obscured Ye Cang's front, back, head, and feet, making it impossible for any attack to penetrate! Even just getting close, one could feel the intense heat, as if it could instantly evaporate all the moisture from one's body!
"Scorching Release: Moonbeam Protection!!"
"?"
no……
You can even use Scorch Release like this?
Yu Mikami was speechless.
To be fair, Yekura's response was quite timely. If she hadn't done so, she probably would have been defeated within ten moves.
Now, she's using "Scorching Release" as "Great Fire Wall," covering her entire body, making it impossible for Mikami Yu to get close to her. The two water clones used for probing were vaporized the moment they approached, giving Mikami Yu two layers of the "Desperate Measures" buff.
So……
"Let's try this technique."
Mikami Yu used the Substitution Jutsu again to land, his hands quickly forming hand seals: "Snake - Dragon - Rabbit - Tiger..."
"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"
call--!
A dragon's roar resounded, and a ferocious and majestic dragon, formed from blazing orange flames, roared out of Mikami Yu's mouth! The dragon's scales were shimmering with a blazing white light, and it roared toward Yekura with a violent aura that could burn everything!
Chapter 125 Yekura: Guh, just kill me! (Two chapters combined)
To be precise, this was a "Powerful Dragonfire - Incineration"!
As a skin for "Great Fireball," Yu Mikami's "Great Dragon Fire Technique" also possesses the characteristic of high temperature! Although due to the hasty release and the large size of the "dragon body," not all the flames turned into a high-temperature incandescent white, even just a ring around the surface of the dragon scales was already quite astonishing.
"what?!"
Yekura seemed surprised that Mikami Yu had this trick up his sleeve, and quickly withdrew, trying to create distance.
However, the attack range of "Great Dragon Fire" is much greater than that of "Great Fireball".
The latter's attack radius is at most ten meters.
However, the "Heroic Dragon Fire" has an attack range of tens of meters! And it also has a certain degree of precision strike capability!
Originally, given Yekura's speed, there was a certain chance she could have dodged it if she had retreated at full speed.
But Mikami Yu had already anticipated Yekura's actions.
The instant after "Great Dragon Fire" was unleashed, he used a Substitution Jutsu to appear forty or fifty meters away, behind Yekura. After standing still, he quickly formed hand seals and released "Phoenix Flower Fire Jutsu," which produced more than a dozen orange-red fireballs the size of basketballs, blocking Yekura's retreat route.
Flames were everywhere—in front, behind, left, and right.
Yecang had no choice but to wave her hand, pressing down half of the Scorching Release fireballs surrounding her, transforming them into a white "corona," and fiercely facing the charging fire dragon! She herself took this opportunity to try to break through to the side.
Boom-! ! ! !
The fire dragon and the "corona" fireball collided!
It was like two blazing suns colliding!
A violent energy shockwave exploded in a ring shape at that moment, instantly clearing away and dispersing the surrounding churning steam! The massive air blast, carrying terrifyingly high temperatures, instantly ripped up and dried out the surface vegetation, revealing the scorched soil beneath.
Even the light seemed to bend subtly, creating a shimmering effect in mid-air!
In this situation, even Mikami Yu and Hakura felt the impact.
after all……
Although one of them knows Scorch Release and the other is proficient in Fire Release, they are not immune to water and fire. At most, their tolerance to flames is slightly stronger than that of ordinary people.
But the intense heat instantly raised the temperature within a hundred meters by more than twenty degrees, turning their faces flushed red. Ye Cang, who was closer, was hit on the back by a sudden gust of hot air, and her clothes showed faint signs of burning, causing her carefully maintained defensive barrier to weaken.
In that very instant.
