Chapter 98: Stormy Offensive
Listening to Yuichi's words, the Three Kage sensed the sarcasm.
It took the It took the three of them working together just to block a single slash from this monster. If any one of them had faced him alone, defeat would have been instantaneous.
Less than ten seconds had passed, and the speed of the opponent's attack was jaw-dropping. Their defense relied entirely on burst strength to instantly resolve his attacks.
Facing such a monstrous opponent, the three had to be at full alert. Any flaw would be fatal.
The hearts of the Three Kage were heavy; they dared not relax in the slightest.
"Warm-up is over!"
Yuichi cracked his neck, a faint smile playing on his lips. His unwavering eyes looked at the three of them.
Suddenly, a terrifying glint burst from his eyes.
"Next, I'm going to get serious!"
Warm-up?
When the Three Kazekages heard this, their expressions became gloomy.
The entire Ninja World watching the broadcast wore ugly expressions. That incomparably sharp attack just now was merely a warm-up?
He wasn't serious yet?
Even if he was truly strong, such arrogance was too much!
Yuichi raised his left hand to grip the Zanpakutō handle, holding the sword with both hands.
This action made everyone pause for a second.
Yuichi held the Zanpakutō to his right side, the tip pointing down behind him. He stood in mid-air with knees slightly bent, body leaning forward.
He looked at the Three Kage calmly and exhaled softly.
The smile on his face disappeared.
At this moment, Yuichi hadn't released any power yet. Everything seemed extremely peaceful. Yet, it made people feel an invisible pressure.
Spontaneously, everyone felt as if a huge stone was pressing on their hearts, making them beat rapidly. This inexplicable pressure could be felt even by those watching through the screen.
"Here I come!"
"Be careful!"
Yuichi finished speaking calmly.
Whoosh!!!
His figure disappeared from the spot.
Accompanied by a terrifying whirlwind, the air exploded where Yuichi had just been standing. Strong winds swept through the area.
Everyone's eyes widened. People from both worlds stared at the light curtain. The moment his voice faded, Yuichi vanished, and his speed... was ridiculously fast.
BOOM!!!
Almost as soon as Yuichi disappeared, a roar sounded.
In order to capture Yuichi's movement, Rasa blocked Yuichi's slash toward Gaara with Gold Dust.
The flickering light of the blade broke through the Gold Dust defense in an instant, raging toward Gaara at breakneck speed.
Too late to defend properly, Gaara quickly descended. The light of the blade whizzed past his head.
A cold chill shot down Gaara's spine!
Yet, even though the attack missed, Yuichi was nowhere to be seen. Only an afterimage flickered for a split second before vanishing.
Immediately afterward, there was a fierce sound of breaking wind from below.
Shing!
A terrifying blade light swept up from beneath.
Gaara waved the sand gushing from the gourd on his back to block.
BOOM!!!
The previous roar had not yet faded before the next one followed.
BOOM!!!
Another terrifying roar erupted from the left. The Third Kazekage's Iron Sand blocked a slash.
Swish!!
Yuichi's figure appeared behind the Third Kazekage. "Third Kazekage's speed... not bad!"
The moment he heard Yuichi's voice, the Third Generation's face changed drastically, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
A gloomy blade light swept from behind him.
Slash!
The moment he turned around, the Third Kazekage's shoulder was torn open.
Yuichi curled his lips. "Your sand is really annoying!"
The Gold Dust behind the Third Generation had blocked part of the attack, so only the aftermath of Yuichi's blade hit him, allowing him to avoid a fatal blow. However, blood flowed like a fountain onto the golden sand.
The pain seemed to stimulate the Third Kazekage; the Iron Sand turned into raindrops and rushed toward Yuichi.
With a slight sneer, Yuichi used Shunpo.
His figure disappeared again!
"Get closer! Stick together to avoid being picked off one by one!" Gaara suddenly shouted.
The three moved closer together as quickly as possible, watching their surroundings back-to-back.
Yuichi's figure kept flickering. After his Reiatsu density increased, his Shunpo speed had reached another level. To the three Kage, he was nothing but a blurred afterimage. Trying to catch Yuichi with their sand was a pipe dream.
"Is it okay to hug each other? Too naive..."
Suddenly, a series of terrifying slashing waves erupted from all directions.
One after another, like a tide, they swept toward the three from all angles.
Sands of three colors formed defenses of various sizes and shapes in the air. The sky full of blade lights and sand collided crazily.
Violent roars resounded continuously. The sound of the air being torn apart erupted wave after wave.
Such a fierce battle left people in both worlds stunned. Even the Shichibukai stopped to watch the aerial combat.
The dazzling light of the blade and the swirling sand. Under the collision, the Three Kage were completely suppressed.
What was most surprising was Yuichi's terrifying speed. In the sky, relying on Shunpo, there appeared to be as many as a dozen Yuichis attacking at once.
Facing Yuichi's onslaught, the Three Kage couldn't fight back at all. At such high speeds, Yuichi's slashing power was slightly weaker, but the volume of attacks compensated for it.
Once any slash connected, the price paid would be severe.
Swish!!!
Rasa's face turned pale.
Abdomen! Chest! Left leg!
In almost three seconds, long bloody wounds were torn open simultaneously. The Gold Dust was too slow and missed several of Yuichi's slashes. As a result, within seconds, Rasa lost almost half his combat effectiveness.
Gaara and the Third Kazekage fared slightly better; Gaara had more sand, and the Iron Sand was faster. They barely managed to block the frontal assaults.
Puff!!
Suddenly, another sword light tore open Rasa's abdomen. A mouthful of blood spewed from his lips.
Yuichi narrowed his eyes slightly. An opening...
A cold light erupted from his Zanpakutō.
Shunpo!
The Zanpakutō pointed directly at Rasa's neck. The sharp blade pierced the air like flashing starlight, coming straight for the kill.
In this fleeting moment, Rasa, face covered in blood, raised his head and looked forward. The Gold Dust on both sides gathered with extreme speed.
BOOM!!!
Squelch!!!
The blade penetrated Rasa's chest, bursting out through his back.
But at the same time, the Gold Dust caught Yuichi.
Yuichi, holding the Zanpakutō, looked at the dying Rasa in front of him. "You can keep up with my speed?"
Rasa's eyes were red, blood trickling from the corners of his mouth. "How can I keep up with your speed? But if I know where the enemy is going to attack... it's not difficult to catch him."
Yuichi frowned.
Using himself as bait? This is a life gamble!
Shua~~ Shua!!!
The moment the Gold Dust grabbed Yuichi, the sand of Gaara and the Iron Sand of the Third Kazekage wound toward him simultaneously.
