Chapter 233 My ninjutsu was used against me!
Those watching the game each had their own thoughts.
Kyosuke and Mei Terumi, in the midst of battle, were single-mindedly focused on killing each other.
Facing the numerous shadow clones surrounding her, Mei Terumi remained completely calm, spitting out a large amount of acid.
The acid, like scythes, swept across the surrounding shadow clones, causing them to dissipate.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Several shadow clones simultaneously formed hand seals, and the surrounding seawater condensed into several massive water columns. These water columns intertwined and merged again, forming a powerful torrent comparable to a small mountain.
This torrent had a ferocious dragon head. It roared and crashed into the acid, easily scattering it, before rushing towards Mei Terumi behind the acid.
"I am a Hidden Mist Ninja! Using Water Release in front of me is laughable! Water Release: Water Pillar!"
Mei Terumi slightly opened her mouth and spat out a water sphere no smaller than a Water Dragon Bullet.
The water balloon, carrying a powerful impact, struck the water jet.
Boom!
Like mountains crashing together, the sound waves spread across the sea, and the two massive currents of water collapsed.
The disintegrating rainwater, carrying great inertia, flew into the sky and then fell, forming dense rain on the sea surface.
"There's something wrong with this rainwater!"
The rain fell on the shadow clones and quickly began to corrode their bodies. The shadow clones were very surprised and before they could react, they were all scattered by the highly corrosive rain.
The raindrops fell on the sea, making a hissing sound and creating a thick fog that enveloped Terumi Mei before gradually dissipating.
"I see. The water sphere contained the power of a bloodline limit. When the two streams of water collided and formed rain, the bloodline limit silently expanded its attack range by dispersing into the rain, directly annihilating all of Kyosuke's shadow clones. She's truly an extraordinary woman."
As the person most concerned about Kyosuke on the field, Minato Namikaze was multitasking, protecting the Third Hokage while keeping an eye on the situation, so he quickly noticed the problem.
Half a second slower than Minato Namikaze, Kyosuke, hiding beneath the sea, also came to this understanding.
Originally, he had also arranged many shadow clones underwater, preparing to coordinate with the shadow clones on the surface of the sea to attack Mei Terumi from both sides.
Now that a pincer attack is not feasible, the only option is a direct assault.
"Water Release·Water Crush Wave!"
The seawater suddenly became turbulent, and amidst the surging waves, a column of water rose rapidly like a tornado beneath Mei Terumi's feet, generating a powerful wind that slightly lowered the surrounding sea level.
Mei Terumi leaped to the left, dodging the waterspout, and then discovered that three more waterspouts, also connecting heaven and earth, had appeared around her.
She was surrounded again, her long reddish-brown hair flying in the wind!
These four waterspouts rose to a height of tens of meters, then approached each other and merged into one, forming a surging river that crashed down upon Terumi Mei from above.
"This is the Second Hokage's technique. Heh, the Second Hokage's Water Release technique is famous throughout the ninja world. I have great respect for him."
The Water Shadow slightly raised his head, his purple pupils sweeping over the river water that was almost falling from the sky, before he stopped paying attention and instead glanced at the Third Hokage beside him, his tone somewhat ambiguous.
The third generation calmly replied, "Our ancestors were all very capable. Every time I think about this, I feel immense pressure."
The Mizukage chuckled lightly: "Hehe, although it sounds a bit boastful, I still have to say that as the Mizukage, my Water Release technique is definitely the best in the ninja world."
Shuiying's tone was very calm, not like she was proving herself to others, but rather like she was stating a fact that everyone knew.
The Third Hokage did not answer, but remained silent, while pondering the Mizukage's intention in saying those words.
The sea was churning violently, but Mei Terumi remained unaffected and stood steadily on the surface.
Looking at the "heavenly river" that was about to engulf her, Mei Terumi smiled slightly and turned into a ball of seawater.
Seeing this, Qingwei, who had activated her White Eyes, nodded slightly.
When she was first enveloped in the fog, Mei Terumi used her water clone to teleport away.
Others couldn't see this because their vision was obscured by the fog, but Qing could see it clearly.
From using the impact force of the water-escape collision to create rain, to merging the bloodline limit into the rain to kill the enemy, and then using the bloodline limit to corrode the seawater to create mist to transfer the enemy's identity, the entire tactic was executed in one go and was very beautiful!
Mei Terumi's tactics are not over yet!
Seeing Mei Terumi's rapid growth, Ao felt very gratified: the failed mission last time was really a good thing; without that failure, Mei Terumi might not have been able to reach this level.
When the "Tianhe" plunged into the sea, the sea surface first dented in, and then rebounded rapidly like a spring.
The violent tremors created several towering waves, the highest of which were over ten meters high, before decreasing in height.
Mei Terumi reappeared standing atop the highest wave, walking on its waves.
"Thank you for your ninjutsu!"
Mei Terumi gave a cold smile, her hands already forming hand seals.
The waves, which were about to gradually dissipate, suddenly rose rapidly, forming a wall tens of meters high, and then crashed onto the sea surface like slaps.
The sea surface was suddenly subjected to so much "ravages" that the force received could not be transmitted in time, resulting in violent fluctuations and towering waves.
Various water currents merged or collided, forming powerful turbulent currents that not only stirred up large white waves but also cut into the depths of the sea like scalpels, sweeping away the shadow clones beneath the water.
As the shadow clones perished once again on a large scale, Kyosuke's head began to throb slightly.
"Damn it, she's even stronger than last time. I was such an idiot to try and fight her with water-based techniques on the surface of the sea!"
Thanks to the Second Hokage, Konoha also has many powerful Water Release ninjutsu.
Over the years, Kyosuke has mastered most of these water escape techniques.
Kyosuke, who was confident in his water-style skills, wanted to take advantage of the terrain and defeat his opponent at sea using water-style techniques.
According to Kyosuke's calculations, he had enough chakra, and by using Water Release to smash his opponent, he could eventually kill him.
As it turns out, this guy who fights on land all year round is no match for Mei Terumi, who fights at sea all year round, when it comes to using water escape techniques.
Kyosuke's two water escape techniques looked earth-shattering and indeed possessed the power to overturn mountains and seas.
The result was disastrous. Not only did it fail to inflict any damage on the enemy, but Mei Terumi also used both ninjutsu techniques to her advantage, ultimately enhancing her own abilities and proving highly effective when attacking Kyosuke.
This is actually Kyosuke's own fault.
Ever since he acquired the One-Tailed Beast's massive chakra, he unconsciously developed the habit of using ninjutsu to smash people.
This is also about leveraging one's strengths, which is perfectly fine.
However, every advantage has its disadvantages. Developing this habit reduces the number of tough battles fought, and while combat intelligence may not necessarily decline, it at least improves more slowly.
What's even more amazing is that Kyosuke is also very "cowardly" and extremely afraid of death. If he encounters an opponent that he can't kill, Kyosuke doesn't use his brain to fight much, but instead uses his brain to think of a way to escape.
For example, in the last battle against Team Ao, if Kyosuke hadn't been afraid of death and had used his brain to fight desperately, perhaps they could have held out until the Konoha ninjas arrived, and perhaps Asuma wouldn't have had to die.
Of course, Kyosuke would rather forgo the combat wisdom gained from such extreme battles than put himself in danger.
Kyosuke felt it was a worthwhile trade-off between using combat skills to increase his survival rate.
As Kyosuke's former mentor, Minato Namikaze also noticed that Kyosuke was somewhat "lazy" in battle, relying too much on his massive chakra reserves.
Everyone has shortcomings. Kyosuke is already excellent in both strength and personality, so Minato Namikaze doesn't want to nitpick.
Since there hasn't been a suitable opportunity, I haven't been able to talk to Kyosuke about this.
Besides, talking probably won't be of much use.
Given Kyosuke's personality, he would definitely cite various examples, such as the Tsuchikage relying on Dust Release, the Uchiha ninja relying on the Sharingan, and even Minato Namikaze himself relying heavily on the Flying Thunder God Technique.
These are all facts, but because they are so dazzling, no one criticizes them.
Human energy is limited; it's impossible to have everything. We always have to make choices.
Choosing to strengthen one's own advantages is normal practice.
In order to fully utilize the advantage of his massive chakra reserves, Kyosuke has devoted a great deal of effort to researching combination ninjutsu and has achieved considerable success.
Putting aside the outcome of the battle, Kyosuke just released two Water Release techniques, both of which were combinations of several Water Release techniques, and their power was indeed extraordinary.
Minato Namikaze understood all of the above, but he was still somewhat happy to see Kyosuke suffer two tactical setbacks.
"Once bitten, twice shy. After this incident, Kyosuke will definitely pay attention to his shortcomings and grow again."
