Chapter 487: The Growth of Companions

Chapter 487: The Growth of Companions

Following Kaito's order, Zabuza and Mei standing beside him immediately activated the Body Flicker Technique.

The figure disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye, leaving only two empty thick cloaks, slowly falling to the ground.

The two figures, one in front and one behind, rushed quickly towards the so-called Nokizaru group on the opposite side.

Mei, whose figure was hidden behind Zabuza, had already completed hand seals with both hands at some point.

"Lava Style: Melting Jutsu!"

A large amount of light yellow sticky liquid spit out from Mei's mouth, passed over the head of Zabuza who was rushing forward, and splashed towards the five people in front.

Zabuza, who was rushing in the front, naturally would not sit still and take action.

Zabuza suddenly put his hands together and concentrated his mind.

A large amount of purple-black energy filled with dark aura suddenly surged out of his body and enveloped himself.

Immediately afterwards, as the purple-black energies gently surged twice, five tentacle-like energy bands suddenly shot out.

It was like five purple-black snakes winding in the air and shooting forward.

He actually wanted to tie up all five people in front of him at the same time.

However, since the five people on the opposite side dared to hunt the Mizukage, they are naturally not easy to deal with.

Faced with the double attack from Zabuza and Mei, the five of them moved away from the spot in an instant with great tacit understanding.

They even took advantage of the situation to counterattack.

The man in green and the man in purple standing on the two sides had more space to dodge, so they were the first to leave the range covered by Mei's Lava Style: Melting Jutsu.

The two of them formed seals with their hands at the same time.

Accompanied by the sizzling and corrosive sound of the "Lava Style: Melting Jutsu" falling to the ground.

Water dragons and fire dragons gushed out at the same time, entangled Zabuza who was rushing forward.

What's weird is that the two chakra dragons, which should be incompatible with each other, don't interfere with each other at all.

It was clearly divided like a tangled red and blue Tai Chi spiral, rushing forward at high speed.

Facing the oncoming water and fire dragons, Zabuza was not at all panicked.

The five purple-black chakra tentacles that had originally shot out and missed the target were quickly retracted and shortened.

Then it clenched and contracted like a huge hand of energy.

The water and fire dragons were squeezed together in an instant.

"Boom!"

There was a deafening bang.

The two aggressive dragons were crushed in an instant.

The surging air waves expanded rapidly, making the palm formed by Zabuza's tailed beast coat several times larger.

But even so, the explosion was still firmly grasped in Zabuza's 'palm'.

As the sound of the explosion dissipated, white high-temperature steam emerged from the palm of the tailed beast's coat with a hissing sound.

As if nothing had happened, everything returned to calm.

Kaito, who was behind, saw this and chuckled, reminding Mei.

"Mei, Zabuza's strength has improved a lot recently, you better not be left behind~"

Upon hearing this, Mei, who was rushing forward, staggered and did not even turn back to look at Kaito.

One could only faintly hear a cold snort from her mouth, and then she began to form hand seals and release ninjutsu again.

Kaito saw that the two were having fun, so he had no intention of taking action.

He simply didn't mind and sat cross-legged in the snow, supporting his chin with his hands, watching the performance of several people.

This so-called Nokizaru Group, although it is a small team consisting of only five people, each of them has quite a few tricks up their sleeves.

Not to mention the purple-clothed man's water jutsu and the green-clothed man's fire jutsu, the blue-clothed man's earth jutsu is actually more inclined towards stealth and assassination.

The guy in red seems to be the leader, and his "secret art of insect manipulation" is no weaker than those insect masters of the Aburame clan.

Finally, the young man in yellow even mastered the "shadow secret technique" similar to that of the Nara clan.

With a move that is somewhat similar to Jiraiya's 'Toad Subjugation Shadow Manipulation Jutsu', he can actually blend into other people's shadows to launch sneak attacks.

'It seems to be similar to my Shadow Sneak, except that it lacks spatial abilities.'

Just as Kaito was thinking this, he suddenly scratched his head speechlessly.

'Well, it seems far from it.'

The young man in yellow clothes flattened his body, merged into the shadow, and moved rapidly on the ground.

The black shadow made a big circle on the ground and quickly approached Zabuza from behind to launch a sneak attack.

As a result, Zabuza, who was originally dealing with the others, seemed to have eyes behind his head.

He turned around quickly.

At the same time, the extremely dark chakra energy in his hand quickly condensed into sharp claws.

The 'Shadow Claw' was instantly swung towards the ground.

Without even waiting for the man in yellow who had merged into the shadow to get up from the ground.

Five scratches appeared in an instant.

Then.

"Ah~~" a painful scream sounded.

Blood splattered everywhere.

The shadow on the ground immediately regained its human form.

The young man in yellow just twitched back and forth a few times on the ground and then became completely silent.

At the same time, on the other side, Mei also seemed to be furious.

It seemed that the Lava Style: Melting Jutsu was of no use after a long time of attack.

Mei actually leaped directly into the air and quickly formed seals with both hands.

"Boil Style: Skilled Mist Jutsu!"

As the words fell.

Four balls of white mist that were almost condensed to the extreme were seen flying out of Mei's mouth one after another.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft~"

Because the white mist balls were compressed so tightly, they did not have the erratic nature of ordinary mist at all.

Instead, it was like four stones, quickly shooting towards 'Purple' and 'Green' who had been entangled with Mei.

However, even with the firing speed of a real bullet, it is difficult for a ninja with the strength of a jonin to have any effect unless it is a sneak attack.

'Green' just dodged the white ball flying towards him easily.

'Purple' was even more fearless. He pulled out a kunai from his waist and swung it twice quickly, directly cutting down the two missiles attacking him.

However, seeing this situation, there was no trace of disappointment on Mei's face.

Instead, she revealed a mocking smile that was somewhat similar to Kaito's.

Immediately following.

"Bang bang bang bang~"

Whether it was the one that was dodged by 'Green' and hit the ground, or the two white balls that were cut down by 'Purple', they all exploded at the same time.

The highly compressed white mist expanded and spread rapidly in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into a large rising white mist, enveloping both of them.

"Ahhhhhhhh~~"

A series of shrill screams came out from the two people's mouths.

However, the scream only lasted for a moment before it stopped again.

The extremely hot and corrosive mist completely melted the two men in the blink of an eye, turning them into a pool of rotten flesh and limbs, falling powerlessly to the ground.

But in just a moment, even the remaining body was completely corroded by the remaining boiling mist.

Only a barely perceptible pool of blood was left, proving the existence of the two.

The scene was extremely horrific.

Kaito, who was watching the fight from the side, couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he saw this scene.

However, he still jast to secretly sigh at the genius of Mei.

'Mei actually took my words to heart.'
