Chapter 131 Psychic
He swung his weapon and chopped Yahiko away, then formed a seal with one hand, with the fingers of his left hand slightly raised in front of him.
Explosive tags suddenly appeared on the ground under Yahiko's feet and flew towards Yahiko's body.
Fire Style: Exploding Flame Array!
A trap is made by burying explosive talismans on the ground in advance. When someone steps on it, the caster can immediately control the explosive talismans to stick to the enemy who has stepped into the trap, thereby injuring the enemy.
The last time Yahiko was attacked by the Explosive Flame Formation, his entire body was burned. The reason he was able to survive for a few more breaths was entirely due to Konan's continuous use of medical ninjutsu to keep him alive.
when?
Yahiko sensed something was wrong at the first moment, and his eyes widened instantly as he saw the detonating tag flying around trying to stick to him!
He was cautious and focused enough when fighting with Hanzo, but he still didn't notice when Hanzo set up such a trap on the ground.
However, he didn't have time to think about it. As the detonating tag flew up from the ground, it began to ignite as Hanzo made a seal.
Boom boom boom!
The flames of the explosions continued to explode in front of Yahiko. The heat and flames rose and spread in an instant, and the shock wave turned into hot wind with the high temperature, sweeping across half of the hall.
"Yahiko!"
Konan subconsciously wanted to rush over, but was stopped by Kakuzu.
"As a medical ninja, don't make trouble!" Two tentacles of the Earth Wrath flew out from Kakuzu's body, pierced into the ground, then he fished out two Mist Ninja corpses from the ground and scolded.
"But..." Konan controlled the paper shuriken to roll back and hit a Mist Ninja who suddenly appeared behind her, but her eyes looked worriedly in the direction of Yahiko.
"He's fine," Kakuzu said, observing the situation.
Yahiko is definitely not a match for Hanzo. The fight just now seemed intense, but it was just Hanzo observing and analyzing information about Yahiko's abilities after he realized that he couldn't defeat Yahiko in an instant.
On the other side, the boy with the Rinnegan suppressed Yagura, who was very famous in the Hidden Mist Village and had a huge bounty on the black market.
But under the water escape technique that Karatachi Yagura was good at, he only had an advantage. If he wanted to defeat the opponent and then come over to fight Hanzo with Yahiko, it would take time.
"Everything's okay?" Konan and Kakuzu stood back to back, while distractedly glancing in the direction of Yahiko.
The flames and smoke from the explosion dissipated, revealing Yahiko still standing. He did not have the expected large-scale burns or mutilations on his body.
Although he looked a little disheveled, his injuries did not seem as serious as they should be, and could even be said to be minor.
"How can it be!"
Hanzo naturally also saw this surprising scene.
Although the power of the explosive fire formation depends on the number of detonating tags buried on the ground, and this time it is deployed in the battle, it is not as well prepared and powerful as the one deployed beforehand, but even a senior ninja would be seriously injured or even die if he was attacked just now.
But soon, Hanzo noticed that there seemed to be an invisible barrier around Yahiko, which was looming in the dissipating fire, heat and smoke.
In order to prove his hypothesis, Hanzo threw the sickle with a chain at the end towards Yahiko.
The sickle hit Yahiko's body and was knocked back as if it had hit an invisible wall.
"Sure enough, you seem to have mastered some strange ninjutsu?"
Recalling the strange touch he felt during the previous physical confrontation, Hanzo picked up the sickle that was knocked back.
"Or is it the awakening of some special bloodline limit?"
Hanzo said this while carefully observing Yahiko's facial expressions.
Yahiko stood there with his heart beating violently in his chest. He looked at Hanzo with lingering fear.
As expected, he was worthy of being called a demigod! He was able to set up such a trap without anyone noticing in the fierce battle, and let him fall into it, which was beyond his expectation.
If he had not mastered the ability given to him by Lu Nie, and had not tried his best to create four invisible walls in front of himself at the moment before the explosive fire formation detonated to resist the explosion, he might have ended up like last time.
Even though he was at the center of the explosion, the damage he suffered might be more serious than before.
However, if he used an explosive array of the same level as last time, the air wall he created would be more likely to suffer large-scale damage.
The power of the explosion caused the air walls to shake, and he gritted his teeth and desperately expended his chakra in front of him to stabilize them.
Water Escape·Water Rush Wave!
Hanzo quickly formed seals with his fingers, and a stream of water was sprayed in the direction of Yahiko. The water column hit Yahiko's body and continued to fight against the air wall in front of him.
After a few breaths, the invisible barrier in front of Yahiko shattered, and the surging water column wrapped up Yahiko's body and rushed towards the wall on the other side of the hall, until Yahiko's body was hit heavily against the wall by the impact of the water column.
The ninjutsu worked, but Hanzo's eyes became more cautious.
Although the Water Shock Wave successfully attacked Yahiko, its power was not proportional to the chakra he output. A part of the chakra was disturbed, or lost. This forced the power of the Water Shock Wave to be dispersed a lot.
Possessing the unique ability to summon invisible barriers without the need for hand seals, it can interfere with or even absorb a portion of chakra. This ability can even interfere with the release of ninjutsu at close range.
Hanzo was secretly guessing about Yahiko's abilities.
It was obvious that the other party didn't know these tricks when we first met!
……
"It seems your companion is at a disadvantage."
The voice of Karatachi Yagura was clearly transmitted to Nagato's ears. During the battle, he had already noticed the young and scary ninja in front of him, and his eyes always unconsciously fell in the direction of his partner. He decisively used what he observed to make use of it, hoping to make Nagato restrain his hands.
Shinra Tianzheng!
Under Lu Nei's research, Nagato has become more proficient in controlling his eyes and has tapped into more power in eye techniques. He can now use some of the eye techniques of the Rinnegan in battle with greater ease.
The next moment, as the hook-like weapon in Karuju Yagura's hand hooked and swiped in front of him, a water mirror as tall as a person appeared.
The next moment, an identical Nagato stretched out his hand from the mirror and released the same technique. Water Mirror Technique: Shinra Tensei!
The two identical forces collided with each other, and after a moment of stagnation, a more ferocious rebound occurred at the same time, knocking back both Nagato and Karuta Yagura.
After they steadied themselves, they looked at each other and saw the trouble in each other's eyes.
Nagato never imagined that there would be such ninjutsu in the ninja world that could copy other people's ninjutsu, and even the ninjutsu of bloodline limit could be replicated.
Yagura felt the consumption of chakra in his body and frowned slightly. As an elite of Kirigakure, he had no shortage of chakra, but the opponent had more chakra in his body than him, and the chakra consumed by the technique he used was also unusually high.
He had tried various methods, but the opponent's ninjutsu was extremely fast and directly skipped the process of forming hand seals. Once activated, it was a 360-degree attack and defense with no blind spots!
He also tried to break through against the repulsive force and tried to inflict damage to Nagato, but no matter whether it was ninjutsu or taijutsu, they would be deflected by the opponent's move.
Under this technique, he was almost invincible. Under the repulsive force, the more he resisted, the greater the recoil force would be, and the more likely he would be injured.
In addition, the opponent is like Uchiha who has opened the Sharingan. He can replicate any ninjutsu, or directly master it.
Yagura Karuta was not completely ignorant of the Uchiha clan's famous Sharingan. Its illusion, replication, and three kinds of eye techniques of insight made ordinary ninjas extremely passive when facing an Uchiha with opened eyes one-on-one.
Among them, the Copy Eye can copy the opponent's ninjutsu, thereby shocking the opponent in battle or catching him off guard.
Of course, according to the rules of chakra-releasing ninjutsu, the prerequisite for replicating a certain ninjutsu is that the Uchiha's body must possess the same chakra attributes.
For example, if you don’t have fire-attribute chakra, you cannot replicate fire-style ninjutsu.
Feeling the massive consumption of chakra in his body, Goji Yagura also felt a sense of urgency. He didn't expect this mission to be so difficult!
In terms of difficulty and danger, this is at least an S-level mission.
When Karatachi Yagura had a headache, Nagato also had a headache.
There was no other reason. Although Goji Yagura was inferior to him in strength, he was far more experienced in combat and was extremely calm and sly. He did not fall for the flaws and traps that he deliberately revealed.
Especially the Water Mirror Technique and the Clear Mirror Still Water Technique that he used to perfection, their effects were even comparable to the Shinra Tensei of his Rinnegan.
The Water Mirror Technique can reflect the enemy and be used together with the opponent's ninjutsu with equal power.
Mingjing Shisui also created a water mirror to protect himself. It could not only guard against and restrain large-scale harmful ninjutsu, but also bounce the ninjutsu back.
A whole turtle shell.
In this situation, it was not easy for Nagato to defeat the opponent in a short time. Especially when he was close to him and his Hungry Ghost Path swallowed up some of his chakra, Karatachi Yagura became more cautious and careful.
Now the two of them are Nagato who wants to quickly deal with Karatachi Yagura and then go to support Yahiko. But Karatachi Yagura is delaying and restraining him, not allowing Nagato to interfere in the battle between Hanzo and Yahiko.
They both saw that Hanzo was now in the absolute upper hand in the battle between Hanzo and Yahiko. Karatachi Yagura was also waiting for Hanzo to finish the battle, and then join forces with him to defeat Nagato.
The only surprise now is whether the bounty ninja named Kakuzu will intervene.
Yagura Karuta glanced in the direction of Kakuzu and was somewhat relieved to see that he was only with a few of his men, helping the female ninja to deal with the Mist and Rain ninjas and not letting them participate in the battlefield.
Although it was unknown why Kakuzu would stand idly by, the fact that a being powerful enough to potentially affect the balance of the battle could make such a gesture was something worth celebrating for them anyway.
Just when Karujutsu Yagura felt relieved and thought the situation was still under their control, countless emerald green arrows appeared like a storm from the secret corridor on the other side of the hall, nailing the Mist and Rain Ninjas to the ground or stringing them together.
This sudden attack caused everyone on the field to disperse in shock. Even Nagato and Hanzo, who were restraining each other, retreated to their respective camps, with the two sides clearly separated.
The emerald green chakra arrow turned into star-like light and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes. A young ninja walked out from the hidden and dark corridor.
"Are you the only one coming?"
Kakuzu, who didn't seem surprised by the arrival of this person, looked behind Shisui and frowned when he found that the familiar figure was not there.
"I can do it alone." Shisui's eyes quickly swept around and observed the situation. Seeing that Nagato, Konan, and Sheeta were still safe, he breathed a sigh of relief and answered Kakuzu's words.
"That's the demigod Hanzo of the Hidden Rain Village. He really trusts you!" Kakuzu snorted twice.
He still recognized Shisui's strength. After all, with his pair of Mangekyō Sharingan and the attack-defense integrated Susanoo, his strength was already among the best in the ninja world.
Even though Hanzo is powerful and is called a demigod, his strength based on observations during fights is at most at the level of the Five Kage.
Compared to the two monsters in his memory, there is still a huge gap. And Shisui has the same eyes and the same technique as the Shura of the Ninja Realm. Even if he is not as good as the ancestor of the Uchiha, he and Nagato are enough to win the game.
"That's the ninja of Konoha!"
Hanzo's eyes fell on the forehead protector worn by Shisui, and his anger suddenly rose. The difficult situation that he had been forced into by Iwagakure and Konoha during this period of time clearly emerged in his mind.
It's okay for Iwagakure, but the three leaders of Akatsuki are clearly in Konoha's hands, so how dare it ask him for those three people?
With the arrival of Konoha's reinforcements and intervention, Karutagi Yagura immediately realized that the situation was not good. Although the person who came said that he was the only one, who knew if it was true or not?
Psychic art!
Hanzo bit his finger, pressed his palm on the ground, and shouted loudly accompanied by a cloud of smoke.
As the smoke cleared, a huge salamander appeared in the hall.
Seeing the appearance of this behemoth, everyone on the field, whether it was Nagato, Kakuzu, or Yagura Karuta, the Mist Ninja, or the Rain Ninja from the same camp, all became nervous.
Since Hanzo has summoned the Salamander, it means that he will have to go all out from now on and no longer try to capture Yahiko and the other two intact.
