Naruto: Five Lives, Five Times the Excitement

Chapter 190 Kazuma's Ninjutsu

After watching Kyosuke's fight, Kazuma felt a bit troubled, unable to find Kyosuke's weakness, so he came to Yamori for advice.

After all, Mimori and Kyosuke have fought each other head-on, so they have a different perspective than the spectators and a more direct understanding of the gains and losses in battle. Perhaps they have some good ideas.

……

My advice is, don't ask me for advice.

Mimori thought to himself that even though he and Kyosuke had some different views, they were still true friends.

The harsh words exchanged between them were all in jest.

Kyosuke's survival is like giving Yasuke an extra life; even if he dies in the future, he'll have a chance to be resurrected. But if all of them die, then it's all over.

That's what you think, but you can't say it like that.

Mi Shou frowned, pondered for a few seconds, and then slowly spoke.

"Kyosuke's abilities are quite comprehensive, so it's not easy to find an obvious weakness to kill him easily."

Kazuma nodded; he thought so too, and gestured for Mikami to continue.

"Kyosuke has good chakra and stamina, and he's cunning but not reckless. He won't easily fall for a trap. If the battle doesn't go well, he'll feel that continuing to fight is life-threatening, and he'll probably retreat and admit defeat in time. Then it will be very difficult to kill him. So, I suggest that you use your strongest power at the beginning of the battle and finish him off before he's fully prepared."

"Makes sense!"

Hearing what Mimori said, Kazuma was very satisfied and felt as if he had suddenly realized something.

Before coming, Kazuma was thinking about what tactics to use, how to set up traps, to corner Kyosuke and then kill him.

I've been thinking about it so much my head hurts, but I still can't come up with a solution.

But upon hearing what Mikami said, Kazuma realized that he was right and realized he had only been thinking about taking shortcuts.

Since there are no good tactics, then use good strategies.

If we launch a fierce attack from the start, preventing Kyosuke from utilizing his strength and chakra advantage, we might succeed.

After exchanging a few more words, he and Ma left with satisfaction. As for Mi Shou, he went back to bed to rest, not worried about Kyosuke's safety at all.

In recent years, as the development momentum has become better and better, Kyosuke has become bolder and bolder, or rather, more and more cautious.

When he was a child, he had nothing, and those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose. Kyosuke could only fight with all his might. Now that his day of success is not far away, and Minato Namikaze is getting closer and closer to becoming Hokage, Kyosuke is becoming more and more like a turtle. Otherwise, it would be too much of a pity if he died at this time.

When fighting Yamori, Kyosuke was relatively at ease, so he relaxed a bit and wasn't as sneaky.

But unlike Ma, Kyosuke would never give his opponent the slightest chance to kill him.

In the blink of an eye, two more battles had passed. Kyosuke, having eaten and drunk his fill and rested well, found Kazuma.

"Alright, you can challenge me now!"

Kazuma glanced at the breadcrumbs on Mimori's lips, thinking it was intentional, and his eye twitched: "Then let's begin!"

The battle between Kazuma and Kyosuke is about to begin, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

Mao Likun, Shisui, Asuma, and the other contestants who hadn't been eliminated yet all held their breath, watching the two enter the arena.

Everyone knows that the outcome of this battle will determine the future power structure of this ninja army.

Once the two were on the field, they didn't waste any words and immediately started fighting.

Just as Mimori had thought, Kyosuke changed his tactics when facing Kazuma, creating dozens of shadow clones while his main body hid in the shadows.

Kazuma had intended to strike first, but he couldn't even see the person anymore. He cursed inwardly and helplessly became entangled with his shadow clone.

After fighting for a while, Kazuma looked around and found that Kyosuke's shadow clones had not decreased, knowing that Kyosuke was constantly replenishing them. He thought to himself that this would not work.

If this continues, when will it end? Even if we win in the end, the process will be too drawn out and won't have much of a deterrent effect.

Kyosuke Uesugi is several years younger than Kazuma.

You're barely winning now; you might not be able to win in two years.

Winning is almost the same as not winning.

Unless Kazuma can kill Kyosuke, thus eliminating Kyosuke's future and solving the problem at its root, he can win people's hearts.

However, since Kyosuke's true form cannot be found, nothing can be done. The opponent can safely retreat at any time if the situation turns unfavorable.

"In that case, Earth Release: Dead Man's Soil!"

After Kazuma defeated Kyosuke's shadow clone, a dark and sinister chakra erupted from his body, filling the entire world.

The sky turned dark and eerie, the earth began to churn, and the soil, carrying the scent of decay, reached the ground, from which many things that looked like zombies crawled out.

Hollow eyes, withered and tattered skin, and a thin, bony body—it was a repulsive sight.

"What disgusting ninjutsu!"

Asma cursed, and the others felt the same way.

Life and death are natural opposites.

As living people, with the exception of a few individuals, most people would find such things as the dead repulsive.

Those who like death are already dead; those who are alive are attached to life.

"This ninjutsu must involve manipulating corpses to attack others. Therefore, there must be a large number of corpses under this fortress. It seems that they planned this in advance."

Zhi Shui looked in Mao Likun's direction.

This selection competition was hosted by Mao Likun, so the other side must know the situation here, and Kazuma certainly has the home advantage.

"Don't worry, Kyosuke will be fine."

Asuma had a lot of confidence in Kyosuke, and besides, these corpses didn't look very strong.

In a short time, many corpses were destroyed by the shadow clones. Their combat strength was estimated to be at the genin level, making it difficult for them to threaten Kyosuke.

Shisui activated his Sharingan again, staring at Kazuma: "The opponent must have another trick up their sleeve!"

Kazuma certainly had a backup plan. He knew that these corpses weren't very strong in combat and could only be used as cannon fodder to deplete Kyosuke's shadow clones and chakra.

Fortunately, there was a plentiful stockpile of corpses beneath this fortress, including some powerful individuals.

This fortress has a long history.

Before Konoha was established, the ninja world was full of ninja clans, and wars were constant. This place was once an important stronghold of the Hagoromo clan, where many bloody battles took place, and naturally, many corpses were buried here.

As time passed, the Feathered Robe Clan vanished into history, but this fortress was preserved and, after numerous expansions and renovations, continues to play an important role.

Kazuma was well aware of all this, and he even modified the underground soil to better suit his ninjutsu.

"As expected, this level of skill won't force you out. In that case, Earth Release: Reincarnation Technique!"

On the cleared ground, which had been cleared by the army of corpses, two coffins emerged from the ground and stood upright.

The surface of the coffin is decorated with a full moon pattern.

"Is this Kazuma's trump card?"

Shisui looked at the two coffins and sensed a strange chakra within them, containing both the vitality of new life and the decay of death.

pat, pat.

The coffin lid fell off, and a burst of dense chakra erupted, creating waves of air.

As the shockwave dissipated, everyone saw two people standing inside the coffin, their eyes slightly closed.

Compared to the corpses outside, these two people were no different from the living. Their skin was fair and elastic, their white hair was shiny, and their white robes fluttered slightly. They looked as if they were asleep.

"Hehehe, ninjas of the Hagoromo clan, show your strength!"
