Chapter 33: Two Against One
Chapter 33: Two Against One
Under Kiyoshi's control, the B-rank Earth Dragon Bullet and Fire Dragon Bullet combined to form the Combined Ninjutsu: Earth Dragon Flame Bullet, whose power surpassed that of an ordinary A-rank ninjutsu.
The power of the jutsu made Suikazan Fuguki feel a fatal threat. If he were hit, he would at least suffer serious injuries, so he hurriedly wanted to dodge. However, the hair he used for attack was firmly restrained by Kiyoshi's Earth Clone from just now. Just as Suikazan Fuguki made up his mind to cut his hair to survive, an ice wall appeared in front of him in time. It was Murasaki who had acted.
"Ice Release: Ice Crystal Wall!"
A transparent ice wall rose up, blocking the path of the Earth Dragon Flame Bullet.
Knowing that an ordinary Water Formation Wall could not withstand the bombardment of the combined ninjutsu, Murasaki directly used his Kekkei Genkai as soon as he made a move.
"Boom!"
The Earth Dragon Flame Bullet collided with the ice wall, emitting a huge roar. With Murasaki's help, Suikazan Fuguki finally had enough time to break free from the restraint.
Having escaped the attack range of the Earth Dragon Flame Bullet, Suikazan Fuguki quickly retreated to Murasaki's side, looking at Kiyoshi with lingering fear. He hadn't expected Kiyoshi to be able to use such a powerful combined ninjutsu, almost causing Suikazan to carelessly lose his hair.
The attack didn't work, but Kiyoshi wasn't annoyed. If Suikazan were defeated so easily, it would only mean that his reputation of being able to rival Elite Jōnin was too exaggerated.
Kiyoshi's hands danced up and down, continuing to form hand seals, leaving afterimages in the air. At the same time, Suikazan Fuguki and Murasaki also exchanged a glance and began forming hand seals as well.
The two sides were about to engage in a ninjutsu clash.
"Water Release: Exploding Water Wave!"
"Water Release: Exploding Water Wave!"
Kiyoshi and Suikazan Fuguki completed their ninjutsu at the same time. A large amount of Chakra gathered in their throats, and both of them simultaneously spat out a large amount of water towards the ground, charging towards each other.
The two streams of water collided heavily, stirring up a sky full of water mist.
"Shikotsumyaku: Ten Finger Drilling Bullets!"
Kiyoshi's faint voice came from within the mist, and a large number of bone bullets pierced through the mist and arrived with a whoosh. Kiyoshi took advantage of the fact that Murasaki was still forming hand seals and Suikazan Fuguki's next wave of ninjutsu wasn't ready yet, using his Shikotsumyaku ability that didn't require hand seals to launch an attack first.
Suikazan Fuguki didn't interrupt his hand seals. He took a step forward and stood in front of Murasaki, controlling his hair to harden again, forming an impenetrable defensive layer in front.
The bone bullets bombarded continuously. Just as they were about to break through the hair's defense, the A-rank Water Release ninjutsu that Suikazan Fuguki had been preparing for a long time was finally completed.
"Water Release: Great Exploding Water Wave!"
Suikazan Fuguki spewed out a massive amount of water from his mouth, instantly forming a huge elliptical water prison that enveloped the entire First Training Ground.
Suikazan Fuguki manipulated his Chakra to expel the onlookers from the giant water prison, leaving only Kiyoshi and Murasaki inside.
At this moment, Murasaki's ninjutsu was also ready.
"Ice Release: Ice Age!"
As an A-rank Ice Release ninjutsu, Ice Age took a very long time to prepare, but its power was equally considerable. The huge water ball that Suikazan Fuguki had just created rapidly began to freeze from the location of the two, and in the blink of an eye, the water ball turned into an ice ball, firmly trapping Kiyoshi inside.
Suikazan Fuguki and Murasaki slowly broke free from the ice prison, a hint of joy appearing on their faces. They didn't think Kiyoshi could escape the ninjutsu they had jointly cast.
"Give up! Squad Leader-sama, just consider this a lesson for your arrogance today!" Suikazan Fuguki said smugly.
"Hehe!" The only response he received was a cold laugh from Kiyoshi. Suikazan Fuguki's taunt was truly like lighting a lamp in the toilet – asking for death.
"It seems you are not just empty names. Then I'll get a little more serious," Kiyoshi's faint voice, devoid of any emotion, came from within the ice prison, echoing throughout the entire training ground, which had fallen silent due to the scale of the battle between the two sides.
"Dance!" A low murmur came. Suikazan Fuguki and Murasaki heard Kiyoshi's words and their faces were filled with disbelief. Were all those attacks just warm-ups? They had clearly used their full strength as opponents.
"Shikotsumyaku: Dance of the Early Fern!"
As Kiyoshi's low murmur fell, dense, snow-white bone spurs burst out from the ice prison, instantly shattering the huge ice prison. Ice shards flew everywhere and scattered down.
A figure gracefully landed. It was Kiyoshi, who had broken out of the ice.
"Then let's continue our second round!" Kiyoshi said calmly.
"Don't underestimate people!" Suikazan Fuguki shouted, loudly trying to cover up a hint of fear that had arisen in his heart.
Kiyoshi put his hands together and began forming hand seals. Snake - Ox - Snake - Dragon - Rat - Boar - Tiger, six seals were completed in an instant. Kiyoshi's chest swelled, and Chakra gathered in his mouth.
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"
Kiyoshi spat out a large amount of scorching flames from his mouth, dancing like a raging dragon, attacking Suikazan Fuguki and Murasaki's location simultaneously from the front, left, and right under the control of his Chakra.
While using Fire Release, the hand seals on Kiyoshi's hands continued to change. Dog - Snake - Rooster. Kiyoshi finished spewing flames, and a large amount of Chakra gathered in his mouth again.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
A violent gust of wind spewed out from Kiyoshi's mouth, catching up with the flames just released at an even faster speed and merging with them.
"Combined Ninjutsu: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"
The wind aided the fire, and the red flames turned golden under the enhancement of Wind Release, causing the onlookers in the distance to feel a wave of heat rushing towards them.
If the people in the distance could still feel this high temperature, let alone Suikazan Fuguki and Murasaki, who were directly facing the attack.
Scorching air rushed towards them, and beads of sweat as big as beans kept sliding down their faces to the ground.
