Chapter 171: The Burden's Usefulness
Moreover, when Koshino first mastered the Rasengan's transformation, it unexpectedly contained elements of space-time ninjutsu, something he never anticipated.
Yet, it was precisely this transformation that allowed Koshino to seize another opportunity for victory in the face of a fierce battle.
So, when Koshino used the transformed Rasengan for the first time, achieving miraculous effects and injuring Suikazan Fuguki, he named it the Space-Time Rasengan!
Naturally, he hoped that the Rasengan's transformation was indeed a branch of space-time ninjutsu.
But unfortunately, the Rasengan's transformation, much like Koshino's Shadow Sewing Technique and Shadow Clone Technique transformations, was a higher level of comprehension that couldn't be added to the training progress bar.
This resulted in Koshino being able to use the Space-Time Rasengan only occasionally, much like Duan Yu's early use of the Six Meridian Divine Sword in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," rather than as a regular weapon like the secret techniques of the Gale Style.
After all, if Koshino wanted to use the Space-Time Rasengan to save his life in a critical situation and it failed to manifest, that would be a huge joke!
However, even though the Space-Time Rasengan couldn't be used as a regular weapon or mastered through accelerated training by the app, Koshino's debut with it, injuring Fuguki, still sent a chill down the spines of the four members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist: Jūzō Biwa, Raiga Kurosuki, Jinpachi Munashi, and Jinin Akebino.
Like Fuguki, Jūzō and the others had witnessed the Fourth Hokage's Rasengan.
So, when Koshino used the Rasengan, Jūzō and the others were secretly cautious, never expecting that Koshino's Rasengan would have more transformations than the one mastered by the Fourth Hokage!
A person's shadow, a tree's reputation! The Fourth Hokage was one of the most renowned ninjas of the Third Great Ninja War, and every secret technique he used was etched in the minds of every ninja in the ninja world.
Now, not only could Koshino use the Fourth Hokage's secret techniques, but he also added a certain "mysterious" effect when using them, directly adding psychological pressure on Jūzō and the others.
In fact, when Koshino unintentionally used the Space-Time Rasengan and injured Fuguki,Jūzō and the others instinctively believed that Koshino had long planned it.
Then, they secretly felt fortunate that it was Fuguki, the wielder of the Great Sword-Samehada, who was injured. Under Jūzō's hand signals, Jinpachi and Jinin nodded silently and attacked Koshino from the left and right, respectively. As for Jūzō Biwa himself, he secretly communicated with Lighningga Kurosuki, plotting a deadly attack on Koshino!
Undoubtedly, Koshino's previous ability to kill Kurirare Kushimaru, the wielder of the Twin Swords Hiramekarei, was partly due to the lack of unity within the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
If the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were united as one, Koshino wouldn't have been able to kill Kurirare Kushimaru.
Moreover, if the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were truly united, Koshino might not have had the chance to encounter them at all.
After all, if such an elite group as the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were united, they would have long become another force that struck fear into the hearts of all ninjas in the ninja world. In such a scenario, there would be no need for Koshino to act; the high-ranking officials of each ninja village, like the Third Hokage and Fourth Hokage of the Leaf Village, or the Fourth Kazekage of the Sand Village, would have already taken action to eliminate the united Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
However, due to the death of Kurirare Kushimaru, the wielder of the Twin Swords-Hiramekarei, and the injury of Fuguki and the other four, pressured by the threat Koshino posed, had no choice but to initiate a team cooperation mode.
Undoubtedly, if Koshino were solely using Wind Perception, it would already be challenging for him to lock onto the attack patterns of Jinpachi Munashi and Jinin Akebino.
If Jūzō and Raiga cooperated to deliver a fatal blow to Koshino, even with the near-divine sensory technique of Wind Perception, Koshino would have no way to evade their coordinated follow-up.
But!
Don't forget one thing: Koshino has been maintaining the Shadow Communication Technique!
Even though Koshino couldn't focus on sensing the detailed movements of the four members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist while using Wind Perception, with the Shadow Communication Technique, he didn't need to sense or see the small movements of Jūzō Biwa and Raiga Kurosuki.
The seemingly burdensome Guy, Genma and Ebisu were constantly monitoring the detailed movements of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, hoping to give Koshino a little hint!
"Koshino, be careful, two guys are attacking from the left and right!"
"And that guy you just injured, his weapon is so strange, it's actually healing him!"
"And that guy holding the big sword, he seems to be preparing to ambush you with another guy!"
"Koshino, you must be careful of their ambush!"
Wind Acceleration, activate!
While Koshino was entangled in a fierce battle with Fuguki, Jinin. Guy, Genma and Ebisu did their best to provide Koshino with intelligence, clearly giving him a huge advantage!
Perhaps Guy, Genma and Ebisu's sensory abilities weren't exceptional, merely relying on their eyes to observe the surroundings.
But having three extra pairs of eyes was a tremendous help to Koshino.
Just as Jūzō was plotting with Raiga to ambush Koshino while Fuguki and Jinin were consuming most of his energy, Koshino, thanks to the reminders from Guy and the other two, used his newly developed ninjutsu, the Space-Time Rasengan, to fiercely suppress the pincer attack from Fuguki and Jinin!
"Gather for me! Finger Rasengan!"
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
Almost as soon as Guy and the others, through the Shadow Communication Technique, began using mental communication to warn of Juzo's murderous plot, the smile on Koshino's lips grew even wider. Then, the Gale Flow Blade vanished, and blue light burst forth from Koshino's ten fingers simultaneously!
That was the Finger Rasengan, which Koshino had accelerated his training to complete using the app!
In an instant, accompanied by the sound of chakra, the Finger Rasengan formed on Koshino's ten fingers simultaneously.
And although the Finger Rasengan appeared small, like a marble, if it struck, even a ninja of the caliber of Fuguki or Jinin would be injured!
Moreover, as soon as Koshino formed the Finger Rasengan, he followed the method of throwing the Rasengan, directly launching the Finger Rasengan from his fingers.
Next, the sound of "whoosh" echoed continuously around Koshino.
One after another, the Finger Rasengan was thrown, putting immense pressure on Jinin Akebino and Fuguki Suikazan!
Especially as more and more Finger Rasengan flew towards them, Koshino felt the rapid depletion of chakra within him, and a confident gleam shone in his eyes!
Because each rapid depletion of chakra indicated that Koshino, while using the Finger Rasengan, was also utilizing the Space-Time Rasengan's properties!
In the next second, six Finger Rasengan, unable to "disappear" successfully, were dodged by Fuguki and Jinin.
However, the remaining four Finger Rasengan, successfully "disappearing," were under Koshino's control, suddenly vanishing!
Then, when those four Finger Rasengan reappeared out of thin air, there was a series of "bang" sounds!
Jinin and Fuguki, members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, were severely injured by the Finger Rasengan, combined with the Space-Time Rasengan's properties!
