Chapter – 418 Kuraokami vs Isobu

ROAR!

With the loud roar that shook the heavens and the earth, the dragon named Kuraokami made its presence on the battlefield.

Looking at the dragon that Suijin transformed into, Yagura's face had a shocked expression, even Isobu wasn't any different. Even if the tortoise has lived in the Shinobi World for nearly a millennium now, it has never gotten the chance to witness a creature such as this.

Isobu can be certain that the strength of this creature is at least on the same level as his, or perhaps even higher because he could feel a terrifying amount of Natural Energy inside the body of that creature.

Not to mention, the volume of water hovering in the sky above the Dragon, it looks like a mini sea.

Yagura gulped, and said to Isobu in his subconscious plane, [This is probably going to be the second most difficult fight, be prepared.]

Isobu nodded and got ready to fight.

At this time, Kuraokami looked down with gloat in his eyes and roared.

With Kuraokami's roar, several Whirlpools started to appear on the surface of the mini ocean, and instantly, a thick pillar of high-pressured water was shot at Isobu.

'Water Release: Judgement Pillars!'

The thick Pillar of water crashed at an extremely fast speed, and Yagura knew that they can not be hit by this pillar of water, so he instructed Isobu, [Dodge those pillars, we can not afford to be hit by it, it would be tantamount to death!]

Isobu nodded and instantly curled himself into a giant ball, and started to roll and jump, and bounce all over the battlefield at an extremely high speed. 'Leaping Bullet Shell Tower!'

Crash…

The pillar of water crashed into the valley producing shockwaves and tsunami-like scenery.

But Isobu and Yagura dared not stop just because they dodged one water pillar, because they could see more than a dozen water pillars were ready to come down and kill them.

Crash… Crash… Crash… Crash… Crash… Crash…

They dodged and dodged and dodged and dodged and again dodged. The pillars of water didn't stop until the entire valley had turned into a large lake.

Now Yagura and Isobu could breathe a sigh of relief, after all, when inside water, Isobu is extremely hard to beat, and his speed is also extremely fast, moreover, the presence of water will reduce the threat from those Water Pillars.

However, Kuraokami still had that gloating expression, as its tail touched the surface of the lake. And the next thing everyone witnessed was the freezing of the entire lake from the point Kuraokami's tail touched the water surface.

'Ice Release: Freezing Wave!'

And at this moment, both Isobu and Yagura were encased inside the frozen lake.

Roar!

Isobu roared, and released an extremely strong shockwave, shattering the ice into millions of pieces, as a result, making its way out.

The moment Isobu came out, Kuraokami made its next move.

'Ice Release Secret Technique: All Killing Rain!'

Whiish Whiish Whiish Whiish Whiish

Instantly, hundreds of thousands of Ice spikes started to rain down from the sky. All with the intention of impaling Isobu and Yagura.

'Coral Covering!'

But Yagura did not panic and instantly used the Coral of Isobu to form a protective covering over the shell of Isobu, making it extremely hard for the Ice Spikes to pierce the hard body of Isobu.

[Now it is our turn to make a move against him] Yagura spoke.

Isobu nodded and instantly curled back into a giant ball and leaped high, 'Leaping Bullet Shell Tower!'

Using the high-speed momentum, they acquired while dodging Ice and Water Pillars, Isobu leaped high into the spy and crashed its large body with the hovering body of Kuraokami, 'Shadow Stroke: Coral Covering!'

The moment, Isobu tackled Kuraokami's body, it also made sure to use Coral Covering Jutsu on him, in order to restrain Kuraokami.

ROAR!

But it appears that this approach was useless because neither Kuraokami crashed down to the ground because of the monstrous strength of Isobu, nor was it restrained because of the Corals covering his body.

Roar!

Isobu and Kuraokami further tackled each other several times but to no result.

After a while of trying, Isobu made its next move, it opened its mouth and shot a large, high-speed, high-pressured water jet at Kuraokami, Kuraokami did the same, it released a Water Dragon Roar which collided with the water jet of Isobu causing a large explosion that produced a lot of mist.

Taking advantage of the mist, Isobu used its Genjutsu ability, 'Genjutsu Mist!'

A Jutsu that traps its victim into the tormenting events of the past, but however strong this Genjutsu may have been, it did not work on Kuraokami as it was instantly dispelled by Toyotama-hime, even before it could take any effect on him.

Seeing that all of its attacks were proving to be fruitless, Isobu decided to use his trump card and started to condense an extremely large Bijuudama.

'Bijuudama!'

Roar!

Kuraokami was not panicked, and he too started to condense Chakra above his mouth.

Toyotama is also capable of using an attack very similar to Bijuudama, but it is not a Bijuudama, it is actually a Ryuumyaku Bullet.

Theoretically speaking, the power of the Ryuumyaku Bullet should not be as exaggerated as a fully powered Bijuudama because it does not use that Chakra ratio as used in the Bijuudama, however, because Toyotama contains a lot of natural energy, therefore, the attack is just as powerful as a fully powered Bijuudama.

'Ryuumyaku Bullet!'

So, a fully powered Bijuudama collided with the Ryuumyaku Bullet at an extremely fast speed, and after struggling a while for dominance over the other, both of their direction was turned towards the lake at the bottom where they collapsed and caused an extremely large explosion.

BOOOOOOOooommmmMMMMM!!!!!!

…

On the side of Kirigakure Shinobi

"W-what is that thing… is… is this even a battle between Shinobi?" one of the Kirigakure Shinobi said with a frightened expression as he along with the other Kirigakure Shinobi ran.

Since the moment that Dragon-like existence appeared on the battlefield, all the Kirigakure Shinobi are running away to get as far away from the battlefield as possible. This is because the scope of the battle between Mizukage and Suijin has increased too much, and even if they are standing extremely far away there is no assurance of their safety.

Especially considering that mini ocean above that Dragon's head, after all, if that dragon were to release that ocean all at once, then it would be certain death of them all.

The attacks used by both parties are so strong that even a single touch would be instant death for anyone!

No one replied to the question of this particular shinobi, because they have no answer.

While still running away from the battlefield, Mei thought to herself as she looked back and watched that mushroom-shaped cloud, 'If even with such terrifying strength Mizukage sama was still defeated and controlled by Akatsuki, then I stand no chance against that organization… In fact, none of the current Kage stand a chance, only Yondaime sama may be able to contend with a few of them with the help of Sanbi sealed inside him.'

…

More distance away from the battlefield.

Masked Obito looked at the battle between Yagura and Suijin, the giant turtle and the Dragon, and clenched his fist.

Was it anger? Disappointment? Or Frustration? It was hard to judge even for white Zetsu standing next to him. But Black Zetsu knew; witnessing this fight has finally forced Obito to make up his mind into taking that back.
