Chapter 87 – The Mizukage and the Flying Thunder God 水影与飞雷神

Four or five days had passed. The Ninja Allied Forces were locked in fierce battles with the White Zetsu army and powerful adversaries revived through the Edo Tensei. Every front line was mired in a complex seesaw battle. The White Zetsu's mimicry skills and the resurrected powerhouses through Edo Tensei had thrown the Allied Forces into a panic. However, Naruto and Killer B's official entry into the battle was like a ray of light piercing through the fog, infusing the Allied Forces with unparalleled morale. Although the situation on the front lines remained tense, the Allied Forces gradually regained some confidence.

On the battlefield of the Fourth Division, led by Gaara, the Kazekage. After intense fighting, the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, was successfully sealed. However, the Second Mizukage, Meihada Gengetsu, and the Third Raikage, A, disengaged from the battle one after another and launched attacks on different defensive lines of the Allied Forces. Despite being revived through Edo Tensei, these two powerhouses retained some free will. Even though they often showed their weaknesses, they were controlled to use all their strength. This posed a huge threat to the Ninja Allied Forces.

On the front of the Fourth Division, a large number of Allied Ninja were dizzied by the genjutsu of the Second Mizukage. Some even lost their judgment and fell one after another. The psychic clam "Shin" summoned by the Mizukage, Meihada Gengetsu, used its deceptive genjutsu to shield the Mizukage, making his attacks even harder to counter. The situation of the Allied Forces was extremely perilous.

"Use sandstorms to track his location!" Gaara analyzed calmly and waved his hands, whipping sand - iron into a fierce gale. The sandstorm swept across the battlefield, providing the Allied Forces with crucial physical perception. Meanwhile, Onoki's Rock Fist glowed in the air, ready to pinpoint the location of the clam from above. But just as Onoki was about to attack, a golden light dropped from the sky.

"Flying Thunder God Technique!" Lin Yuan's figure appeared abruptly. Like a sharp blade, he cut through the genjutsu fog. His speed was astonishing. In an instant, he closed in on the Second Mizukage and launched a Celestial Split Fist, with his hand wrapped in chakra.

"You brat..." The Second Mizukage squinted slightly. Although in an Edo Tensei body, his movements were anything but sluggish. He quickly spun around, blocking Lin Yuan's attack with a Water Gun Bullet and retreating to create distance. However, there was a hint of confusion in his eyes, as Lin Yuan seemed completely immune to the genjutsu of Shin.

"Your genjutsu won't work on me," Lin Yuan said. Thanks to his secret edge, he'd seen through Shin's tricks from the beginning.

"Really?" The Mizukage sneered. "Then try this, Water Release: Water Explosion Bullet Technique!" The Mizukage suddenly opened his mouth wide, and a huge water ball hurtled towards Lin Yuan with irresistible force.

Lin Yuan didn't flinch. He threw a kunai, and with a flash of runes under his feet, his figure disappeared instantly. In the Mizukage's view, his attack missed. The next second, Lin Yuan's figure emerged behind him.

"Celestial Split Fist!" Lin Yuan hit the Mizukage as hard as he could. The strong impact sent the 2nd Mizukage flying and broke his Edo Tensei body into pieces.

Despite his body being destroyed, the power of Edo Tensei allowed the Mizukage to quickly reform. He sneered, "Kid, no matter how fierce your attacks are, you can't truly kill me in this Edo Tensei form. You need to seal me."

Meanwhile, the Sealing Squad had quickly set up the sealing formula. The Mizukage was manipulated to counterattack, but the light of the Flying Thunder God shone again under Lin Yuan's feet. He teleported right in front of the Mizukage and launched a precise chakra - infused punch, smashing the Mizukage's body again and buying precious time for the sealing.

"Sealing Technique, activate!" The members of the Sealing Squad shouted in unison. Chains bound the Mizukage's body. Just as he was about to disappear as a beam of light in the sealing formula...

The Mizukage formed hand seals again with both hands. "Water Release: Water Clone Technique!"

With his shout, several water clones emerged from the ground and quickly surrounded Lin Yuan. Each clone was identical to the original, making it impossible to tell them apart.

Lin Yuan wasn't flustered. He took a deep breath, and his eyes became more focused. His body flashed again, and the runes of the Flying Thunder God lit up. He moved among the clones at an almost imperceptible speed. His chakra - filled fists lashed out one after another, smashing the water clones one by one.

"Bearded old man, can you hear me?!" Lin Yuan asked. "Have you lost your will? Are you totally controlled?" Suddenly, he appeared right in front of the Second Mizukage. He threw punch after punch at the Mizukage's chest, shattering his body again.

"Now!" Lin Yuan shouted. The ninja of the Sealing Squad immediately seized the opportunity and set up the sealing formula again. Just as the Mizukage's body began to reform, it was entangled by chains. The sealing formula of the Sealing Squad took effect quickly, sealing the Mizukage completely.

The battle over, Lin Yuan exhaled deeply and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He looked back and then smiled in relief. "Finally dealt with... This guy was really a tough nut to crack."

Just as Lin Yuan was about to relax, a familiar voice came. "Lin Yuan! You..." Naruto's clone showed up at the battlefield's edge, stunned. He glanced at the sealed Second Mizukage and then at Lin Yuan, his voice brimming with shock.

Lin Yuan waved his hand. "Alright, go help the others on other fronts. The war isn't over yet."

Naruto nodded. The shock on his face was replaced by determination. He turned and ran to the next battlefield.

====================

四,五天的时间过去了,忍者联军与白绝大军及秽土转生的强敌交战正酣,各条战线都陷入了复杂的拉锯战.白绝的模仿技能和秽土转生复活的强者们,将联军搅得人心惶惶.然而,鸣人和杀人蜂奇拉比的正式参战,仿佛一道光打破了迷雾,为联军注入了无与伦比的士气.战线的局势虽然依旧紧张,但联军渐渐恢复了一些信心.

第四部队,风影我爱罗的战场.经过一番激烈的厮杀,第四代风影,罗砂被成功封印.然而,第二代水影鬼灯幻月和第三代雷影艾却相继脱离战斗,转而分别攻向联军各自的防线.这两位秽土转生的强者虽然被复活,但依旧保留了部分自主意志.他们虽然一直暴露自己的弱点,但依然被操控着将力量发挥到了极致,对忍者联军造成了巨大的威胁.

在第四部队的阵地上,大量联军忍者被第二代水影的幻术折磨得头晕目眩,甚至有些人因失去判断力而相继倒下.水影鬼灯幻月召唤的通灵文蛤「蜃」以迷惑性的幻术掩护本体,使水影的攻击更加难以应对.联军的形势岌岌可危.

"用沙尘暴追踪他的位置!" 我爱罗冷静地分析着,挥动双手将砂铁卷入狂风之中.沙尘暴横扫战场,为联军提供了极为关键的物理感知能力.与此同时,大野木的岩拳在空中闪烁着光芒,准备从空中锁定文蛤的所在.然而,就在大野木即将发动攻击时,一道金色的光芒突然从天而降.

"飞雷神之术!" 林远的身影骤然出现,他如同一道利刃劈开了幻术的迷雾.速度之快令人咋舌,他已经靠近了二代水影,手中包裹着查克拉,一记天裂拳直袭而去.

"你这小子..." 二代水影微微眯起眼,虽为秽土之身,动作却毫不迟钝.他迅速转身,用一记水枪弹,挡下了林远的攻击,同时后退以拉开距离.然而,他的眼中透着些许不解,因为林远似乎完全不受蜃的幻术影响.

"你的幻术对我没用." 林远说道.他有外挂,从一开始就看破了蜃的障眼法.

"是吗?" 水影露出一抹冷笑,"那就试试这个,水遁·水爆弹之术!" 水影猛然张口,一颗巨大的水球向林远扑来,气势如洪.

林远毫不退缩,丢出苦无,脚下符文一闪,身影瞬间消失.在水影的视野中,他的攻击落空,而下一秒,林远的身影出现在他背后.

"天裂拳!" 林远狠狠砸向水影.巨大的冲击力将水影直接轰飞,秽土转生的身体被打得四分五裂.

尽管身体被摧毁,秽土转生的力量让水影快速重组,他冷笑道:"小子,你的攻击无论多么迅猛,也无法真正杀死秽土转生的我.得靠封印."

与此同时,封印班已经迅速布置好了封印术式.水影被操控着想反击,但林远脚下再次亮起飞雷神的光芒,他闪现在水影正前方,一记精准的查克拉拳头将水影打得再次崩溃,为封印争取了宝贵的时间.

"封印术,启动!" 封印班的成员们齐声喊道,水影的身体被锁链束缚,就在水影快化作一道光芒消失在术式之中...

水影双手再次结印,"水遁·水流分身之术!"

伴随着他的声音,几个水流分身从地面冒出,迅速包围了林远.每个分身都与本体一模一样,分不清真假.

林远并未慌张,他深吸一口气,眼神变得更加专注.他的身体再次一闪,飞雷神的符文亮起,整个人,难以捕捉的速度穿梭在分身之间.他的查克拉拳头接连挥出,将水流分身一个个击溃.

"小胡子大叔,听到我说话么?!意识都没了,该不会完全被操控了吧?" 林远问道,直接出现在二代水影本体面前,一记又一记凌厉的拳头狠狠轰击在水影胸口,将他的身体打得再一次崩裂.

"快动手!" 林远大喊,封印班的忍者立刻抓住时机,再一次布置封印术式.水影的身体刚刚开始重组,就被锁链缠绕住,封印班的术式迅速生效,将水影彻底封印.

战斗结束,林远长长地呼出一口气,抹了一把额头的汗水.他回头看了看,随即露出一抹轻松的笑容:"终于搞定了...这个家伙还真难缠."

正当林远准备放松时,一阵熟悉的声音传来:"林远!你..." 鸣人的分身出现在战场边缘,眼中带着错愕和几分懵然.他看到封印中的第二代水影,又看向林远,语气中充满了惊讶.

林远摆摆手:"行了,赶紧去帮其他战线的人吧,这场战争可还没结束呢."

鸣人点了点头,脸上的惊讶逐渐化为坚定.他转身冲向下一个战场.
