Chapter 171: Kakashi's Brand New Fighting Style
Might Guy looked up, facing these hundreds, even thousands of water sharks, without a trace of fear, and roared:
"Morning Peacock!"
Guy's fist speed broke the sound barrier, and the friction-generated flames fell like meteors. White mist billowed up from the lake surface as the thousand water sharks wailed and dissipated in the fire rain. But Kisame's figure had long since vanished. The entire lake began to rotate clockwise, forming a giant whirlpool a thousand meters in diameter.
"Water Prison Shark Dance Technique!"
Guy suddenly found his feet entangled by viscous water currents. Transparent water walls rose around him. Samehada in Kisame's hand exploded outwards, transforming into countless tiny fragments that attacked from all directions, each strike carrying a terrifyingly sharp aura. Although Might Guy immediately shattered the water currents binding his feet and dodged by treading air, Samehada's attacks were too dense. Before long, several marks were left on Might Guy's body.
Fresh blood seeped from the tears in his green jumpsuit. These wounds were negligible for someone like Might Guy, who had tempered his body through years of arduous training. However, Might Guy keenly sensed that each time he was hit by this bizarre black blade, a bit of his chakra would be taken away.
"An ability to absorb chakra?" Might Guy's thick eyebrows furrowed slightly. At this moment, he also sensed how troublesome his opponent was.
However, the current Kisame wasn't faring well either. Although Might Guy had stepped into the trap he laid, when Samehada absorbed the opponent's chakra and returned it to his hand, some abnormality occurred. Kisame had never encountered such violent chakra. The chakra Samehada absorbed, let alone being used to replenish himself, even caused the greatsword Samehada itself to tremble continuously under this violent chakra.
"This person, the chakra flowing within his body is actually so violent?" Kisame's face showed shock. "Konoha's Green Beast, indeed, your reputation is well-deserved."
Kisame took a deep breath. Judging by the abilities Might Guy had displayed so far, engaging him in close combat didn't seem like a good choice. However, the opponent didn't seem to be skilled in ninjutsu. Therefore, Kisame also changed his strategy. Having been acknowledged by Samehada, which was nicknamed the "Tailless Tailed Beast," his chakra reserves were also far beyond ordinary people's. He figured using ninjutsu from a distance to suppress the opponent shouldn't be a problem.
Kisame rapidly formed hand seals, water droplets on his fingertips scattering from his blurring fingers. After completing the seals, Kisame roared, "Water Style: Five Feeding Sharks!"
The calm water surface suddenly began to surge. A thirty-meter-high wall of water blotted out the sky. Guy, treading on the water surface, retreated rapidly. At this moment, beneath the water, five shark-shaped water bullets, under the cover of the dark night, pursued him relentlessly. The next moment, sharp dorsal fins cut through the water surface, and giant sharks leaping from the water opened their狰狞 (zhēngníng - ferocious/fiendish) maws towards Might Guy.
Facing this fierce offensive, Guy let out a low shout. Veins bulged on his temples, and a special crimson hue began to appear in the aura around his body. The next moment, a deafening boom sounded.
The instant the steam exploded, Kisame didn't even see Might Guy's movements clearly. The five water sharks were pulverized into rain by the wind of his fist. Guy, treading on the water splashes, sped forward, dragging a long vacuum trail behind him, charging towards Kisame in mid-air.
The sonic boom of breaking air exploded under Might Guy's feet. A spinning kick, carrying the sound of rending air, smashed towards Kisame's temple. Kisame turned his head sharply, only to find Might Guy's attack already before his eyes.
Kisame's body exploded into a plume of water mist in mid-air.
"Water Clone?" Might Guy, having stabilized himself in the air, frowned.
At this moment, Kisame, hidden beneath the water surface, also broke out in a cold sweat. The memory transmitted back from the water clone told him that he hadn't had the slightest chance to dodge Might Guy's kick just now.
"Yaremasune," Kisame, hidden beneath the water, sighed inwardly, but the movements of his hands didn't stop in the slightest.
After the real body underwater formed consecutive hand seals, this pool of water suddenly surged violently. Towering water curtains converged on Might Guy from all directions, submerging him in an instant.
Might Guy, having fallen into the water, held his breath, carefully searching his surroundings. But soon, overwhelming numbers of eerie blue sharks swam towards him through the water.
...
While Might Guy and Hoshigaki Kisame were fighting fiercely, Kakashi, who had seen the figures of the two Tailed Beasts exchanging Tailed Beast Bombs and was rushing at full speed towards that battlefield, suddenly had a cold glint flash behind him.
Kakashi twisted his body to dodge the downward slash. A bracer on his wrist, equipped with a mechanism, clattered and ejected a steel ball merely two centimeters in diameter. After the steel ball appeared in Kakashi's palm, a flash of electricity sparked in his hand, and he flung the steel ball towards the attacker.
The instant the steel ball left his hand, the slight electrical charge in Kakashi's hand constructed a small magnetic field at extreme speed.
Propelled by electromagnetic force, the steel ball emitted a sonic boom that tore through the air as it shot towards the ambusher's head.
The speed of this steel ball was simply too fast. By the time the ambusher reacted, he only had time to block in front of him with the weapon in his hand.
A metallic clang an explosion of sound rang out. The ambusher was thrown back several steps by the impact. Only then did Kakashi turn his head to look at the opponent. He didn't recognize this person, but the weapon in his hand was very distinctive. "The Executioner's Blade?"
Zabuza, after finally regaining his footing with difficulty, looked at the horrifying crack on the Executioner's Blade, his face also showing shock.
A single steel ball could damage the Executioner's Blade to this extent? Zabuza looked at Kakashi in disbelief. Moreover, he clearly hadn't felt any strong chakra fluctuations just now.
"Sharingan Kakashi?" Zabuza said after taking a deep breath, his eyes narrowed slightly. He had also recognized Kakashi's identity – a ninja who, despite not being from the Uchiha clan, had made a name for himself in the ninja world with the Sharingan. But according to intelligence, didn't Kakashi only have one Sharingan? Yet now, there were two crimson glints in the other's eye sockets, and the Sharingan pattern was not the conventional tomoe.
Zabuza had no time to think further. Kakashi's gaze exerted immense pressure on him. While retreating, he rapidly formed hand seals with both hands.
"Hidden Mist Technique."
Kirigakure's signature assassination technique was deployed by Zabuza. Under the night sky, the mist on the battlefield, already shrouded in a bloody haze, grew even thicker within a few breaths.
Kakashi raised his hand and looked; in this dense mist, he couldn't even see his own hand. However, a cold smile appeared on Kakashi's face. He then said loudly, "Do you think such a technique is effective against these eyes of mine?"
What answered him was a slash coming down from behind, aimed at his head.
However, after a flash of electricity, Zabuza's full-strength blow bizarrely passed right through Kakashi's body.
The Executioner's Blade slammed heavily onto the ground. Zabuza was momentarily stunned.
However, the next instant, he noticed three steel balls beside Kakashi beginning to rotate rapidly, enveloped in lightning.
After a sound of rending air flashed past, a mist of blood spurted from Zabuza's right chest. Three steel balls had directly pierced through his right chest. Zabuza collapsed powerlessly, blood gurgling from the three triangularly arranged bloody holes in his back.
The dense mist dispersed. Kakashi, exiting his phased state, glanced back at Zabuza, whose life or death was unknown. If Uchiha Douhuan hadn't sent a secret message earlier instructing him to leave the rebel leaders alive if possible, those three steel balls just now would have been aimed at the opponent's head.
However, Kakashi turned his head to look at the Executioner's Blade in the other's hand. A red glint flashed in his eyes, and the void around the Executioner's Blade began to distort. Soon, this treasured ninja sword, passed down in Kirigakure, vanished into the void.
"Consider it collecting some interest. After all, I'm already here," Kakashi said with a light chuckle while taking out two chakra-recovering soldier pills from his ninja tool pouch and swallowing them. He then looked up towards the Tailed Beast battlefield, where the fighting was growing increasingly intense. "Obito, did you see that? Let us, together, get justice for Rin."
The crimson in Kakashi's eyes grew deeper. The Fuma Shuriken-shaped Mangekyou tomoe spun slowly. The fighting style he used to deal with Zabuza just now was a new method he had painstakingly devised after experimenting with the abilities of these two Mangekyou Sharingan.
Because he lacked Uchiha blood, a single Sharingan already kept his chakra in a perennial state of deficit. Therefore, even with two Mangekyou Sharingan, he couldn't use pupil techniques while dancing amidst lightning like Uchiha Douhuan. So, he simply dedicated all his chakra to the consumption of these two Mangekyou Sharingan.
As for the means of killing enemies, Kakashi, after thoroughly琢磨 (zuómo - pondering/figuring out) electromagnetic induction during this period, had finally learned the ninjutsu he traded from Uchiha Douhuan with Chidori: Super Electromagnetic Cannon.
Then, Kakashi had a batch of steel balls made from refined steel, as well as a bracer capable of storing twenty steel balls.
This attack method, relying almost entirely on physics for its power, also compensated for the shortcomings of Kamui's phasing, in a way.
After all, he only needed to construct a magnetic field with lightning before phasing, then leave the steel balls within the magnetic field. Then, even if he entered a phased state, the completed magnetic field would accelerate these steel balls and shoot them towards his enemy.
Zabuza was unfortunate enough to be the first unlucky fellow to experience Kakashi's new fighting style.
[How can there be such an insidious fighting style?]
This was Zabuza's last thought before he lost consciousness on the ground.
...
At the center of the battlefield where the two Tailed Beasts clashed, continuous Tailed Beast Bomb explosions had left a deep crater dozens of meters deep in this heartland of Kirigakure. However, the Three-Tails Isobu was now showing signs of decline. Its massive body had been burned in many places by high-temperature steam and the acid sprayed by the Six-Tails Saiken, and it continuously emitted furious roars.
"It seems there's no way to calm him down," Terumi Mei said, panting, while standing on the Six-Tails Saiken's back. Participating in a Tailed Beast battle was definitely not an easy task for her. But fortunately, their side also had a Tailed Beast. Furthermore, according to Utakata, the Three-Tails' state was very abnormal, not displaying its proper strength at all. "Is the Three-Tails still not responding?"
"No," Saiken replied. "I've been calling out to it continuously since the battle began, but its consciousness seems to have been completely corrupted."
"Then, what should we do?" Utakata asked at this point.
"Let's kill it directly," the Six-Tails, after a moment of silence, finally said with determination.
"Kill it directly?" Terumi Mei said in disbelief. Their Kirigakure only had these two Tailed Beasts. If the Three-Tails died, it would be a huge loss for Kirigakure.
"Kill it directly. We Tailed Beasts don't truly die when killed. Our chakra will wander between heaven and earth until we revive again someday," the Six-Tails explained. "Rather than letting Isobu continue in this muddled state, it's better to set him free."
"Is that so?" Terumi Mei said. "It seems this is the only way now. Although finding it again later will be very troublesome, we can't let it continue to destroy the village."
"My attack methods are insufficient to break its turtle shell. So, I need you to help me break its defense," the Six-Tails said.
"Alright." Terumi Mei took a deep breath and began forming consecutive hand seals.
"Lava Release: Melting Apparition Technique!" Terumi Mei extracted all her remaining chakra, compressed it, gathered it in her mouth, and then spat out a stream of orange, viscous acid.
The Three-Tails, already injured, was unable to dodge in time, and its back shell was soon covered by this acid.
Sizzle~
The sound of rock corroding echoed, and black smoke rose from the areas touched by the acid.
"Good chance!" the Six-Tails and Utakata said simultaneously, then began to gather a Tailed Beast Bomb, firing it towards the Three-Tails, which was continuously wailing in pain from the acid.
"Sorry, Isobu," the Six-Tails said with some reluctance after firing the Tailed Beast Bomb.
However, just as the Tailed Beast Bomb was about to hit the Three-Tails, the space before the Three-Tails suddenly began to distort. The next instant, the Tailed Beast Bomb vanished into the void before the disbelieving eyes of Terumi Mei and the Six-Tails.
After a moment, a violent explosion occurred at the Mizukage's building hundreds of meters away.
The Mizukage's building and the surrounding complex of buildings turned into a pile of ruins in the explosion of this Tailed Beast Bomb.
"Hoh, he really knows how to pick a spot! This fellow truly hates Kirigakure," Uchiha Douhuan, while surrendering to a squad of Konoha ninjas with raised hands, watched the Mizukage building being blown to ruins in the distance and gloated inwardly.
...
"What's going on?" Terumi Mei looked at the site of the explosion in disbelief.
Just then, the void beside the Three-Tails began to distort again. Kakashi stepped out from the void.
"Konoha Technician? Hatake Kakashi?" Terumi Mei on Saiken's back stared blankly at the figure of Kakashi appearing out of thin air.
As an 'optician', Terumi Mei naturally recognized Kakashi, this staunchest supporter of Uchiha Douhuan. However, Kakashi appearing before them in such a bizarre manner at this moment was something Terumi Mei could never have imagined.
"Are you the leaders of the Kirigakure rebel army? Surrender now, and you can still keep your lives," Kakashi said coldly.
