Chapter 173 Mist
A knife.
For Han, who watched the entire attack, it is difficult to describe or evaluate that attack.
There was nothing amazing about it, nor was there the kind of dexterity, convenience and cunning that those people from the Iron Kingdom pursued when practicing swordsmanship.
It's a knife that is so ordinary that it can't be more ordinary.
If it were someone else, even a Genin, he would be able to make such a unique strike.
In particular, the knife in the other party's hand was made of wood.
Even if a person has not yet entered the half-tailed beast stage, a strong man would not care about this kind of sword. Even if it were another Iwagakure, they would not care if such a wooden sword hit them.
Iwagakure and Earth Style Ninjutsu themselves represent powerful defense.
Therefore, the man with the knife didn't even think about dodging. He didn't think that the knife could hurt him.
In fact, the knife did not hurt him, but it brought him greater shock and impact than hurting him.
The chakra coat was cut in two, revealing Han under the tailed beast chakra. His body was now hanging uncontrollably in the air, and he looked at Lu Ni with some surprise.
The majestic and oppressive tailed beast chakra peeled off from his body, but it did not disappear. Instead, it seemed to have lost its soul and turned into a substantial ball of red chakra.
What's even more strange is that Han clearly knows that the chakra was separated from his body and there is still some kind of connection, but it seems to have become independent and is no longer under control.
Next came two knives, three knives!
Like a casually swung wooden sword, or a scalpel in the hands of a medical saint, it accurately stripped away the tailed beast chakra that was still remaining on his body surface.
It was like performing a delicate peeling operation on the chakra that had grown on the body's surface, cutting out a complete chakra coat like cutting skin.
The ominous red chakra surged out from Han's body again, but what he was immediately greeted with was a familiar and unpretentious knife attack.
Suddenly, the boiling tailed beast chakra calmed down again.
Although Han's heart was filled with anger, the next moment, his body in front of Lu Nie turned into a ball of mud as he was hit by the wooden sword, and his real body appeared in another place.
"Is that sword, like the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Kirigakure, a precious sword that possesses some special abilities?" Han's voice sounded muffled.
His eyes were fixed on the ordinary wooden sword in Lu Nie's hand. In his perception, when it touched the sword, his chakra would involuntarily go out of control.
Han had heard of the seven famous ninja swords of the Hidden Mist Village, each of which had its own unique abilities. So he thought that the wooden sword in Lu Nie's hand should also be a precious ninja tool similar to the seven swords of the Hidden Mist Village.
Is it specifically targeting chakra, or the tailed beasts?
Han was guessing the information about the wooden sword in his mind. This sword, plus the two powerful ninjutsu that were instantly cast before, which could bounce him back when he turned into a half-tailed beast, made him, in his mind, difficult to deal with.
There are so many geniuses in Konoha of the Land of Fire!
Even though they fall one after another, there will always be newcomers in the new generation who can grow up and shine.
This was the case with the Sannin and Konoha White Fang during the Second Ninja World War.
Now, during the Third Ninja World War, the same is true for Uchiha Shisui, Namikaze Minato, and Nara Shikagawa.
Originally, he was planning to tie down Shisui as well, but judging from the current situation, Nara Shikagane on the opposite side was enough to tie him down instead.
If he had not volunteered to join this mission, he would even suspect that Konoha was deliberately targeting him.
A sword that can work on the chakra of the tailed beasts is a targeted restraining weapon. On the other hand, if this sword can be obtained, any ninja village with a tailed beast may be able to avoid the situation where the tailed beast goes berserk and cannot be controlled, requiring the sacrifice of a large number of ninjas or even upper-level combat forces.
"If you think so, then just believe it firmly." Lu Nie did not give Han a definite answer. He just swung the wooden sword in the air, and the shadow under his feet instantly invaded the tailed beast coat on the other side and injected his will into it.
Han watched as the erratic chakra of the tailed beast solidified under the restraint of the shadow, and black lines appeared on his body like nerve veins all over his body. The chakra clothes that were originally just dead objects suddenly came to life, like a half-tailed beast-transformed five-tailed Jinchūriki, turned his head, cracked the inverted triangle monster-like teeth, and stared at him with those black hole eyes.
"No way?"
Feeling that familiar sense of oppression and undisguised hostility, Han's eyes flashed with complex and incredible emotions.
It was the first time that Han saw a ninja who was not a Jinchūriki being able to use the Jinchūriki's chakra and condense it into shape to use as a weapon.
Although it was compressed, the humanoid five-tailed and half-tailed beast mode on the opposite side looked a little pocket-sized, but there was no doubt that the danger from the opponent was real!
Based on the communication just now with the Five-Tails in the body, the Five-Tails has already lost control of that part of the chakra.
The loss mentioned here is a complete loss!
It was as if the chakra was sealed by a sealing technique and could never be restored.
Whoosh!
The miniature tailed beast-transformed figure disappeared in an instant, and in front of Han's horrified eyes, it crashed into him. A huge force mixed with extremely corrosive chakra almost shattered his internal organs.
This time he did not fly backwards uncontrollably, but a red tailed beast robe suddenly rose from his body, and he was in a stalemate with the tiny humanoid tailed beast.
However, the chakra concentration of the tailed beast coat is obviously not as explosive as the chakra of the half-tailed beast, and the output is higher.
Although Han did not fly backwards, his feet left two shallow grooves on the ground.
Boiling Escape·Unparalleled Strange Power!
A large amount of steam gushed out from the gaps in Han's red armor, and the high temperature instantly spread. The highest temperature of boiling water is around 100°, but there is no clear upper limit to the temperature of water vapor.
If a ninja is in the range of the boiling escape, if he does not take timely protection, he will be severely injured in an instant and then die in excruciating torture.
Han did not enter the half-tailed beast transformation again, but instead displayed the power of the Boiling Release Bloodline Limit. He punched the pocket-sized tailed beast that was constantly attacking him, and collided head-on with it.
After using the power of Boiling Release and steam, Han's attack power is no worse than Tsunade's normal strength. He is like a red monster with super strength. After a series of swift and violent attacks, he breaks up the chakra of the pocket tailed beast that is entangled with him.
Under the fusion of shadows, the chakra of the broken tailed beasts kept gathering, trying to regroup, but Han, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, reversed the ground with the power of destroying the terrain, and pressed them into the solid ground. Some of the fish that escaped the net simply formed smaller tailed beasts, but with their power dispersed, they could no longer pose much threat to Han who had entered the boiling mode.
After Han exploded and dealt with the pocket-sized tailed beast, a large amount of steam shot out from the gaps in his armor again. The whole person was like a train with a whistle, rumbling with the force of thunder, and kicked towards Lu Ni.
With the help of Boiling Escape, even a giant psychic beast would be knocked off balance and seriously injured by his kick.
An ordinary ninja, even the Kage of the five major ninja villages, except for the Third Raikage who trained his body to an abnormal level, any other ninja would not be able to escape unscathed after being hit by this kick.
Only someone with extremely sharp dynamic reflexes like Minato Namikaze, or someone with extremely sharp dynamic vision and observation skills like the Sharingan and the Byakugan, can capture Han's high-speed moving figure without any burden and make a targeted response.
If you simply see Han's movements but your body cannot keep up with your eyes, you will be directly hit by Han's attacks.
Fortunately, Lu Nie's mental perception is extremely sharp, coupled with the vision and amplification of the Rinnegan, and Han's speed, he is so focused that he can even observe it frame by frame as if it were a PPT.
A huge black box rose from the ground, trapping the rushing Han inside, as if Han had voluntarily thrown himself into the black box.
The box looked like an upright black coffin, with swords, knives, and axes stuck on it.
Shadow Secret Art·Shadow Coffin!
boom!
The shadow coffin was shattered from the inside by a huge force, revealing a man surrounded by steam. The red armor was covered with scars, and blood seeped out from the gaps in the armor.
However, the seemingly horrific wounds were recovering quickly under the chakra of the tailed beasts. In order not to die with the host, when the Jinchūriki was seriously injured or fatally injured, the tailed beasts in the Jinchūriki's body would spontaneously seize control of the Jinchūriki's body and permeate his body with their own power to heal his wounds and provide him with strength.
What greeted Han was a wooden sword.
Boiling Escape·Steam Explosion!
Han's power suddenly increased, and whistle-like steam suddenly exploded and raged indiscriminately in all directions with him as the center, carrying high temperature.
Faced with the killing power of high temperature, the wooden sword in Lu Nie's hand did not slow down at all, and even did not hesitate, and continued to chop down.
As Han watched in astonishment and daze, the wooden sword cut through the steam and chopped him off.
It literally cuts through the steam!
Within the range of the wooden sword, the steam was directly repelled by an invisible force, without causing any meaningful harm to Lu Nie.
At the same time, Han felt himself losing some of his power again.
What was lost this time was Feidun!
The roaring whistle suddenly stopped, and the high-temperature steam quickly gathered together, forming a cloud of smoke covering a figure wrapped in armor.
"I'm sorry, I'm not proficient enough in using this knife. As a semi-finished product, sometimes it needs to be chopped a few more times." Lu Nie said softly, and the blade slashed towards Han.
But Han quickly tilted his head back and avoided the blade, but his body was still inevitably hit by the blade of the wooden sword.
Now, he could no longer feel the power of Boiling Escape.
Han had never been so surprised and flustered in a battle before. Even the Third Raikage only used his strength to crush him.
But Lu Nie seemed like an opponent with some strange abilities. Before finding out his true abilities, even though he was one of the strongest people in the Iwagakure Village, he was suppressed by the opponent's methods and was at a loss.
It is understandable that he could strip away some of the chakra of the tailed beasts. Although there were not many ninjas who could do this, Luna was not the only one who could do it.
But stripping away a ninja's bloodline limit!
This is somewhat beyond the understanding of ordinary ninjas.
"Is that the knife?"
While Han was dodging Lu Nie's shadow and blade, he was wildly guessing in his mind about Lu Nie, or the power of the knife in Lu Nie's hand.
A knife with sealing power?
Han shook his head. If it was a wooden sword with sealing power, he would not only lose a certain part of his power if he was hit, but his whole body, as well as the tailed beast in his body, would be covered by the sealing technique.
Han guessed several possibilities in his mind, but still could not be sure. Under Lu Nie's relentless pressure, his eyes darkened and he began to fight back.
I don't understand the power of the wooden sword, but I'll just be fine if I don't get hit by it.
Although he lost the power of Boiling Release, his chakra was still there, the ninjutsu he had mastered was still there, and most importantly, the Five-Tails in his body was still there.
Protracted wars and wars of attrition are what he is good at.
"Are you afraid of this knife?"
Lu Nie keenly sensed Han's psychological changes. He tapped the ground with his toes, and the shadow under his control was like an octopus, pulling his body in irregular movements in an incredible posture.
The art of earth escape and rock fist!
Han ignored Lu Nie's question. His eyeballs moved back and forth in his eye sockets following Lu Nie's erratic figure. In an instant, he seemed to grasp Lu Nie's movement trajectory. Han's fist was instantly wrapped with a ball of stone, and with the help of ninjutsu, it collided with Lu Nie, who seemed to be avoiding him.
Ok?
The expected crushing did not occur. Instead, there was a familiar recoil force, which followed the blade of Lu Nie's sword that was used to block his fist, competing with his strange strength.
A large amount of steam roared and spread out from Lu Nie's body, especially the condensed steam sprayed out from Lu Nie's mouth in front, piercing towards Han's mask like an arrow.
The burn instantly made Han feel pain. He flew backwards, and the tailed beast chakra on his body was corroded by the steam, leaving only a thin layer. Although it was replenished immediately, Han had no intention of caring about it at the moment.
Boiling escape!
Before Han could figure out the ability of the wooden sword, he was shocked into complete silence by this sudden scene.
Is it that the other party has the same Kekkei Genkai of Boiling Release as him, or is it that the Boiling Release in the other party at this moment comes from him?
