Naruto: Five Lives, Five Times the Excitement

Chapter 212 The Battle Between Shisui and Mei Terumi

On the surface, Kyosuke was calmly directing the operation, while secretly, he had some shadow clones hide underground, quietly preparing for their evacuation.

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

Seeing the numerous shadow clones rushing towards him, Kisame Hoshigaki created a fierce water current, forcing the shadow clones back, and at the same time creating a vast lake on the ground.

Qing and the others stood easily on the water; for them, the lake was a terrain advantage.

Kisame Hoshigaki unleashed his ninjutsu and charged at Asuma. As their kunai clashed, Asuma's power was instantly suppressed, causing him to lose his balance and stumble back two steps.

Kisame Hoshigaki seized the opportunity to kick Asuma in the chest, sending him flying and simultaneously assessing Asuma's approximate strength.

"Hey, looks like I've found an easy target."

At this moment, two shadow clones of Kyosuke rushed over, slowing down Kisame Hoshigaki's pursuit and buying Asuma time.

Asma crouched on the water's surface, feeling a sharp pain in his chest and struggling to breathe.

He coughed loudly a few times to relieve the pain and tightness in his chest.

"Damn, it's that powerful."

Asuma was a few years younger than Kisame Hoshigaki and his talent was inferior to Kisame's, so he was no match for him.

At this moment, the battleground is on the lake. Kisame Hoshigaki moves as if on flat ground and can even use the lake water to release ninjutsu and carry out various tactics.

Although Asuma can easily stand on the water, his experience in water combat is clearly inferior to Kisame Hoshigaki.

The undulating waves somewhat affected Asma's movements and interfered with his operations.

Simply put, Kisame Hoshigaki's fighting strength on the lake surface has increased, while Asuma's fighting strength on the lake surface has decreased.

The gap in strength between the two sides was amplified by the environment.

"Try to get him away from the lake, and we will cooperate with you."

Beside Asuma, a shadow clone of Kyosuke offered a suggestion.

Asuma stood up, nodded fiercely, and said, "Yes, I understand."

At this moment, Kisame Hoshigaki dealt with Kyosuke's shadow clone that was blocking him and charged at Asuma again.

Asuma learned his lesson this time, avoiding direct confrontation with Kisame Hoshigaki. Instead, he constantly dodged and weaved, cooperating with Kyosuke's shadow clones, using bladed weapons and ninjutsu to buy time, gradually guiding Kisame Hoshigaki out of the lake.

At this moment, Shisui was also fighting, his opponent being Mei Terumi.

Mei Terumi was in a bad mood. As soon as the battle started, Kisame Hoshigaki went after Asuma, and Mei Terumi wanted to deal with Kyosuke.

According to reconnaissance, Kyosuke is their captain, and he should be quite capable.

Killing the enemy captain brings a sense of glory and satisfaction that can never be compared to killing a nobody.

Unfortunately, Hozuki Mangetsu was faster and confronted Kyosuke first.

Terumi Mei cursed inwardly, knowing she could only face off against the youngest, Shisui.

In fact, she and Shisui were the youngest members of their respective teams, but she was a few years older than Shisui and didn't think the other was worth paying attention to at all.

Even if the opponent's surname is Uchiha.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

On the lake, Mei Terumi easily created a fierce column of water.

The water column leaped high, bypassing Kyosuke's shadow clone that was trying to intercept it, and crashed down from the sky into Shisui behind it.

Shisui had already activated his Sharingan, easily dodging the Water Dragon Bullet while also observing Mei Terumi's movements.

With a loud bang, the water jets slammed into the water, splashing up water droplets that formed a dense curtain of rain, obscuring Shi Shui's vision.

"I see. The purpose of the Water Dragon Bullet is not to attack, but to cover the next move. It seems that she understands the function of the Sharingan very well and is preparing to use ninjutsu for mid-to-long-range combat."

As long as you create distance, even if you accidentally fall into the Sharingan's genjutsu, your opponent will have time to break free.

Even if she cannot dispel the illusion in time, the enemy, who has no allies participating in the battle, will provide timely support.

After the battle began, Qing did not participate in the fight, but instead used the Byakugan ability to carefully observe the battlefield.

Zhi Shui guessed that the other party was gathering information about the three of them.

Like a venomous snake lurking silently among withered branches and fallen leaves, it will unleash its poison and strike swiftly once it discovers a weakness in its prey, eliminating it in an instant.

While Shisui was contemplating, his hands continued to move, summoning crows and using Crow Clone.

Rain can obscure your own vision, as well as the vision of others.

Shisui planned to use the crow clones as bait while his main body submerged underwater to launch a surprise attack.

The battle had just begun, and the opponent, seeing that he was young, might have underestimated him. They thought he should be fully focused on launching an attack, not expecting him, who was at a disadvantage, to launch a counterattack.

This blind spot in thinking is your chance to win!

You only get one chance!

Just as Shisui had predicted, Terumi Mei simply formed a hand seal and exhaled a massive cloud of mist.

"Boiling Release: Skillful Mist Technique!"

This is her bloodline limit—Boiling Release ninjutsu. The mist is extremely hot and highly acidic, capable of easily melting rocks and causing immense damage.

The fog collided with the dissipating rain, and the rainwater quickly turned into steam.

Steam, like a misty, illusory city wall, stretched between the two.

This is Mei Terumi's plan.

She intends to use Boil Release to attack the enemy while simultaneously creating mist to seal their Sharingan, preventing them from having any chance to use it.

She will continue this method of attack.

Faced with such a wide-range attack, it is difficult for the opponent to dodge with taijutsu. They must use ninjutsu to defend, and it must be a relatively powerful ninjutsu, otherwise it will be difficult to defend.

According to Mei Terumi's calculations, the opponent's chakra wouldn't be much. She could use a few powerful ninjutsu to deplete the opponent's chakra, at which point she could easily win.

Subconsciously, Mei Terumi positioned herself as the dominant attacker, while her opponent was the weak defender.

Moreover, by blocking the other party's vision, she had deprived them of their most likely means of retaliation, demonstrating her considerable caution.

Therefore, Mei Terumi really didn't expect that her opponent would choose to counterattack so decisively right after they started fighting.

Boil Release swept through the rain and towards the spot where Shisui had just stood, where Mei Terumi continued to perform hand seals.

The moment the fog thins, she will unleash an offensive ninjutsu as soon as she sees the opponent using defensive ninjutsu.

On the open lake, the fog dissipates very quickly.

Soon, Mei Terumi's vision was able to penetrate the misty fog and see the blurry figure behind it.

What kind of ninjutsu would they use for defense?

On the lake, the best option is water-style ninjutsu.

However, the opponent may not be proficient in water-style techniques.

Moreover, if the opponent uses Water Release, Boil Release will create even more mist when it hits the water flow.

The fact that the fog hasn't thickened indicates that it's not a water escape technique.

Mei Terumi, following her combat habits, records and analyzes intelligence about her opponents.

Suddenly, she saw several small figures appear in the mist, flying nimbly in the air like birds, and then soaring through the mist.

crow!

A crow, completely black!

Its scarlet eyes gleamed with an eerie light!

It was only six or seven meters away from me!

"A crow? Oh no!"

In an instant, Mei Terumi realized that things were out of control and the battle was not progressing according to her plan. She immediately prepared to retreat and get away from the crows flying towards her.

However, her feet were out of control of her brain, and she stood motionless in place.

Mei Terumi looked down and saw that a thick, six-sided wooden awl was nailed to her knees.

The wooden cone pierced through her knee, its tip deeply embedded in the ground behind Mei Terumi.

Upon witnessing this scene, Terumi Mei felt a sharp pain in her legs, causing her to clench her teeth tightly.

"Damn it, I'm under an illusion!"
