Chapter 200

"How could this be? This is impossible!"

Seeing his attack easily dismantled by Sato Kaede, Kuchiki Senya stared at Sato Kaede in utter horror, shouting.

No matter how he thought about it, he never expected to be easily neutralized by a brat while in his prime.

"This fight should be ending soon. Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Sato Kaede paid no heed to Kuchiki Senya's shock and doubt; he simply crossed his arms, coldly uttered a sentence, and continued to perform Fire Release ninjutsu.

· ··Begging for flowers·· ·

The next second, another giant fireball appeared once more.

"Damn it~!"

Seeing this, Kuchiki Senya's face changed drastically; he immediately flashed away from his spot, trying to dodge the fireball's range of attack.

However, since he was already severely injured, his reaction was a beat too slow, and he was quickly struck by the massive fireball.

Immediately following that, a piercing scream rang out all around.

Yet, Sato Kaede did not stop his hand movements; instead, he continued to perform Fire-style ninjutsu.

"Fire Release: Hosenka Technique."

A huge purple-red rose appeared, then suddenly exploded, scattering countless sparks and rose debris onto the already unconscious Kuchiki Senya.

......... 0

"No... I can't... I must survive, I must have my revenge!"

Kuchiki Senya's lips moved as he whispered in a low voice, then he struggled to open his eyes, revealing a ferocious expression, preparing to counterattack.

However, just then, Sato Kaede's attack descended once more, a giant fireball rapidly approaching his face.

"No~"

Kuchiki Senya's face displayed a look of utter horror, then he closed his eyes in despair.

"Pfft~"

The next second, the sound of flesh being pierced echoed all around.

However, Kuchiki Senya felt no pain; he slowly opened his eyes, and what met his gaze was the bloody wound on his chest.

"No... Impossible... I... How could I be defeated by a... brat..."

Kuchiki Senya said with a face full of shock, then collapsed to the ground, his life force completely gone.

Seeing this, Sato Kaede's face showed a hint of regret; he had only intended to kill Kuchiki Senya while he still possessed the power to counterattack.

It was just a pity that Kuchiki Senya's will was too tenacious, ultimately choosing to fight to the death.

Although Sato Kaede held a certain reverence for killing a Jonin-level strong one, he also knew he could not hold back now; otherwise, once Kuchiki Senya was given enough time to catch his breath, death would be his only fate.

So, he mercilessly unleashed his killing intent and used his strongest offensive move to cleanly and decisively strike down Kuchiki Senya.

178. You really have so many questions.

Of course, during this process, Kuchiki Senya's body underwent a strange transformation; the blood within him seemed to boil, and thick black mist radiated from his entire body.

"This is bad."

Seeing this, Sato Kaede frowned; he could vaguely sense a heart-pounding aura emanating from within Kuchiki Senya's body. This feeling was very peculiar, but he could sense Kuchiki Senya's momentum was rising step by step.

"Water Clone Technique."

Sato Kaede dared not be negligent; he immediately summoned two clones, then ordered the two clones to take him away.

He did not believe his own strength was sufficient to resist such a monster.

As he used the Water Clone Technique, the aura of Kuchiki Senya, who had already been on the verge of death, gradually calmed down.

Moreover, even more strangely, Kuchiki Senya's skin was peeling off bit by bit.

Clearly, he had already begun a new round of transformation.

In less than five seconds, the clothes on Kuchiki Senya's body had completely fallen away, revealing the Bai Xi skin underneath.

And the dense scars on his body, as his skin peeled away, gradually returned to normal, revealing the defined muscle lines beneath.

"Hah!"

Kuchiki Senya let out a long sigh, slowly stood up, and revealed an excited look in his eyes.

His body proportions were perfect; the muscles on his body were sharply defined, giving people a feeling full of power, making one feel an inexplicable sense of security.

"Looks like it succeeded. It wasn't easy."

Seeing this, Sato Kaede sighed in his heart, then stored Naruto and the other two into the card space.

"This guy is indeed a dangerous element; he must be dealt with as soon as possible. If he becomes a Genin, it will be troublesome."

After storing Naruto and the other two, Sato Kaede's attention shifted to the excited Kuchiki Senya in the distance; he knew he would soon face an enemy with terrifying strength.

"Boom-boom-boom—"

The next second, a massive amount of flames appeared out of thin air, enveloping Sato Kaede, then rapidly spreading outward in all directions.

At the same time, under Kuchiki Senya's control, several towering trees nearby suddenly exploded, hundreds of sharp branches mixed with fierce wind blades attacking Sato Kaede, and every single branch possessed the power to slay an ordinary Jonin.

Not only that, a violent and fierce lightning power also erupted from within Kuchiki Senya's body at this moment, transforming into a thick bolt of Lei Guang that struck down at Sato Kaede.

Kuchiki Senya's appearance at this moment was terrifying; he radiated suffocating, intense Lei Guang all over his body, his figure becoming blurred and indistinct, like a Lightning-style ninja who had mastered lightning arts.

However, Kuchiki Senya's attack style at this moment was completely different from his previous self; it seemed he was following a path like the Sword Dao.

"Good heavens, he's a sword maniac too. Could it be some kind of forbidden bloodline?"

Feeling the terrifying aura radiating from Kuchiki Senya, Sato Kaede immediately narrowed his eyes, thinking silently in his heart.

The next second, Sato Kaede mobilized the chakra within his body, then his hands moved swiftly, blocking the fireballs before him.

"Zzzt~ Zzzt~"

"Crack~ Crack~"

As Sato Kaede amplified the power of his own fireballs to the extreme, the fireballs before him and the lightning struck by Kuchiki Senya instantly locked in mid-air, emitting a series of faint sounds, then mutually annihilated each other.

"This kind of power — who exactly are you? I don't recall having an enemy like you in my memory, kid! You're not a ninja from Konoha, are you?"

Kuchiki Senya saw that the lightning attack he had unleashed had actually been blocked by Sato Kaede, and a trace of surprise immediately surfaced on his face.

However, very soon, a trace of killing intent flickered deep in his eyes, and then he stared at Sato Kaede and spoke, his tone chillingly cold.

In Kuchiki Senya's view, the young man before him must be a rogue ninja sent by some village to hunt him down.

Moreover, Kuchiki Senya detected a familiar aura on Sato Kaede — an aura that disgusted and enraged him, because it belonged to Konoha.

"You really have a lot of questions, huh."

Upon hearing Kuchiki Senya's words, Sato Kaede could not help but smile bitterly, muttering a complaint in his heart.

"Hmph, no matter who you are, today you must die!!!"

Hearing this, Kuchiki Senya's face grew even darker, the cold light in his eyes flickering unceasingly; the killing intent in his heart grew ever stronger, and he gave a cold snort as he spoke.

The next second, Kuchiki Senya's figure suddenly vanished.

However, his movements just now still could not escape Sato Kaede's eyes — Sato Kaede had long since deployed several phantom clones around the area, and his true self had been watching Kuchiki Senya's every move...

Therefore, the next second, when Kuchiki Senya reappeared, he was already within roughly 20 meters of Sato Kaede, yet Sato Kaede still wore an utterly composed expression.

Kuchiki Senya looked at Sato Kaede before him with a face full of solemnity, the killing intent in his eyes intensifying another degree; he knew he could not drag this out any longer — he had to seize the moment and end the battle.

"All Creation Attraction~"

At Kuchiki Senya's command, a blue vortex suddenly surged out from his back, enveloping his entire body; in an instant, a suction force abruptly appeared and acted upon Sato Kaede.

"Heh~"

Seeing Kuchiki Senya employ this technique, Sato Kaede immediately revealed a disdainful smile, then rapidly formed hand seals with both hands, and an earth-yellow ninjutsu scroll appeared in his hand.

"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"

With a wave of his hand, Sato Kaede conjured a wall of earth 10 centimeters thick in front of him as a shield.

"Rumble rumble~"

The next second, the suction of Kuchiki Senya's All Creation Attraction drew the Earth Flow Wall into it.

But unfortunately, although the Earth Flow Wall was drawn in by All Creation Attraction, it still stubbornly held its original position and was not destroyed.

"How is this possible! You're nothing but a chunin, and you can't even reach the level of a jonin!"

Seeing the Earth Flow Wall still standing firm as Rushan, while his All Creation Attraction could do nothing against it, Kuchiki Senya's face shifted slightly and he cried out in shock.

All Creation Attraction is an immensely powerful secret technique — once unleashed, even a ninja at the realm of the shinobi would lose mobility for a short time.

But Sato Kaede, a mere chunin, had actually thwarted the attack of All Creation Attraction with ease — this was simply astonishing, and even Kuchiki Senya found it inconceivable.

After all, even the First Hokage and the Second Kazekage, back when they were at his stage, could not have accomplished this.

Of course, besides Kuchiki Senya, there was one other person who could not do it — and that was the Hokage of their village.

Because, to thwart the attack of All Creation Attraction, the required strength had already surpassed that of a chunin — one had to reach the level of a genin to even qualify.

179. This is your tragedy.
