Chapter 90: Intense Battle with Sarutobi Nagare

Outside the Root's gate.

"It seems you're still obstinate and won't come to your senses," Sarutobi Nagare squinted his eyes and said sinisterly.

Kaze put his hands on his hips and sneered, "Well, I should be the one saying that to you."

Both of their gazes turned cold, and the subordinates behind them were also getting restless.

"Pfft."

At the crucial moment, Kaze suddenly burst into laughter.

He recalled the scene when he confronted Sarutobi Nagare in his childhood.

Kaze coughed twice and imitated Sarutobi Nagare's tone back then, saying, "Sarutobi Nagare, dare to change the place with me and settle this like real men?"

Sarutobi Nagare's eyes sharpened.

Obviously, he also remembered the humiliating experience of getting punched in the face a few years ago.

"Humph, why wouldn't I dare?"

He snorted and motioned for his subordinates not to act rashly. Then he strode up to Kaze.

If things got out of hand, it would be hard to clean up, and it wouldn't do any good to either side.

Since Kaze had offered a challenge, he naturally couldn't ask for more.

He was strong now and was confident that he could handle Kaze!

[Current attributes of Sarutobi Nagare are as follows:

Killing power: 30

Speed: 29

Defense: 28

Chakra: 31]

Swish!

In the next moment, the two figures disappeared instantly, leaving only the subordinates still glaring at each other.

Inside the Root's training hall.

Two figures suddenly appeared, which were Kaze and Nagare.

Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"

As soon as he appeared, Nagare puffed out his chest and launched a fierce attack on Kaze.

Roar.

A huge fire dragon roared into existence, whipped its tail, and rushed menacingly towards Kaze.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three Flying Thunder God Kunai pierced through the fire dragon.

Kaze flashed and appeared beside one of the kunai, directly avoiding the fire dragon.

"Triple Seal!"

Nagare seemed to have been waiting for this moment. Two Kage clones suddenly appeared beside him.

The three figures formed a triangle, surrounding the three kunai and Kaze in the middle, and suddenly formed seals.

Swish!

Kaze activated the Flying Raijin Technique again and returned to his previous position.

It turned out that as soon as he entered, he had hidden a Flying Thunder God Kunai beneath his feet.

"Are you only good at dodging?"

Sarutobi Nagare roared. The three figures simultaneously formed hand seals and released ninjutsu.

Lightning Release: Thunder Blast!"

Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet!"

Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"

Sarutobi Nagare spat out thunder from his mouth, which resembled a sharp spear, sweeping towards Kaze from close - range to a distance.

The two Kage Clone Jutsus released Fire Release and Earth Release. Streams of fire and earth shot out simultaneously, launching a comprehensive attack on Kaze.

Wind Release: Separate Wind!"

Facing the incoming triple Ninjutsu assault, Kaze stayed calm and raised his hand to create a wind field.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Wind Release techniques with astonishing power continuously bombarded the wind field. The invisible barrier fluctuated violently, clearly unable to hold out for long.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere!"

Kaze braved the energy shock and shifted his figure horizontally. While running, he took a long breath and then suddenly exhaled a stream of air.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Chakra airflow, like bullets, pierced through Nagare's jutsu and directly shot towards his real body and Kage Clone Jutsu.

"Humph!"

Sarutobi Nagare directly recalled his Kage Clone Jutsu. He dodged the incoming Vacuum Spheres with a sway and then, with a tap of his toes, rushed straight towards Kaze.

In just a moment, he appeared beside Kaze.

"Chakra Blade: True One Character!"

Nagare reached backhand to draw out two claw - shaped knives with serrated blades.

He infused Wind Release Chakra into them, and blue blades extended, buzzing as they cut through the air.

He stepped forward to Kaze and quickly waved the claw - shaped knives in his hands, making sharp - angled slashes.

"Good timing!"

Kaze was completely unfazed. He unsheathed the long sword at his waist, which was also infused with Wind - attribute Chakra, and skillfully placed it on the parallel line of the two claw - shaped knives' attacks.

Clang!

The long sword blocked the two claw - shaped knives at the same time. However, Sarutobi Nagare's [i]Killing power[/i] was slightly higher, and his strength was greater. Kaze was shaken back a step.

Nagare took advantage of the situation. He twisted one claw - shaped knife in the opposite direction to lock the long sword, and the other claw - shaped knife stabbed straight at Kaze's chest.

"Wind Release: Separate Wind!"

"Wind Release: Verdant Mountain Gale!"

As soon as Kaze opened the wind field, Nagare, who was well - prepared, instantly strengthened his True One Character. The sharp blade directly cut through the wind field.

Swish!

In a hurry, Kaze used the Flying Raijin Technique again and returned to his previous position.

Nagare twirled the claw - shaped knife with his finger and was not in a hurry to attack. A mocking smile appeared on his face.

"So - called Black Flash, that's all it is."

Kaze smiled and casually joked.

"Hehe, big brother Nagare, don't you feel a bit dizzy?"

Nagare's face changed slightly. He began to carefully examine his physical condition and found that Kaze was not bluffing. He really was poisoned!

"You poisoned me. When?"

Knowing Kaze's methods, he had been on guard against Kaze using poison the whole time. How did the other party...?!

Kaze just smiled without saying a word.

There was poison powder on his sword. Just now, he deliberately got close to Nagare in order to shake out the fine powder and make Nagare inhale it.

"Don't worry. We're not mortal enemies. Otherwise, you'd be dead by now."

Seeing Sarutobi Nagare's changing expression, Kaze said with a smile.

Patta, patta.

Nagare inserted the two knives back into his waist. He took out a special Antidote pill and popped it into his mouth.

Rather than winning, he ended up looking foolish. He stared at Kaze viciously.

The Sarutobi clan had a tough constitution. This small amount of toxin would only slowly affect his condition.

He had to end the battle quickly!

Crack.

Sarutobi Nagare bit his finger and covered his hands with blood, then began to form Hand Seals.

"Summoning Jutsu: Ape Spirit!"

In a puff of white smoke, a tall ape appeared. Scanning the surroundings, it asked in a deep voice.

"Nagare, do you need my help?"

Sarutobi Nagare nodded and said rapidly.

"No time to explain! Ape Spirit, transform into the Ruyi Golden Cudgel quickly!"

The Ape Spirit leaped towards Sarutobi Nagare and transformed into a black rod with gold edges in the air, and fell directly into his hand.

Facing Kaze who mastered the Flying Raijin Technique, using Ninjutsu doesn't make much sense. Taijutsu is the best strategy to deal with him.

"The Summons of the Sarutobi Clan, huh. This is a bit tricky..." Kaze murmured.

The Summons of this clan has an indestructible body. He isn't sure if he could withstand a single strike from the cudgel.

"Take this!"

Sarutobi Nagare roared. The Ruyi Cudgel in his hand suddenly extended and swept towards Kaze.

"Wind Release Shuriken!"

Kaze somersaulted to dodge. Several shuriken appeared in his hands, and he threw them at Sarutobi Nagare forcefully.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Sarutobi Nagare retracted the long stick in his hand and waved it rapidly in front of him, easily knocking away the wind shuriken that could cut through rocks.

But during this time, Kaze had already completed the Hand Seals.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Great Sphere!"

Bang!

If the Vacuum Sphere is like a bullet, then the Vacuum Great Sphere is like a rocket.

The Vacuum Great Sphere created airwaves in the air and blasted towards Sarutobi Nagare with astonishing power.

"Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!"

Sarutobi Nagare spat out a stream of mud from his mouth. It instantly rose high from the ground, forming a tough barrier in front of him.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Blade!"

Suddenly, Kaze appeared behind Sarutobi Nagare. The wind blade on his long sword was sharp, and he slashed at Sarutobi Nagare fiercely.

Now that Sarutobi Nagare's condition is declining, he can directly confront the opponent!

"Wind Release: Cyclone!"

Sarutobi Nagare spat out a strong gust of wind, which hindered Kaze for a moment. He held the Ruyi Cudgel upright and stabbed at Kaze like a spear.

Clang!

Kaze tilted his body slightly, exerted force on his wrist, and deflected the Ruyi Cudgel with a single strike.

Unexpectedly, a furry big hand suddenly stretched out from the Ruyi Golden Cudgel and grabbed him.

The Hand of Enma!
