Chapter 178

Looking at the panicked ordinary people around, Terumi Mei clearly did not expect that the so-called rogue ninja would have such principles, so she did not continue to attack Uchiha Itachi, but chased in the direction the other party left.

And when Terumi Mei and Uchiha Itachi arrived at a deserted open space, Shengzai and Kisame, who arrived next, had already started a real fire here.

"Water Style: Exploding Water Colliding Wave!"

As everyone knows, even for a ninjutsu of the same level, the power used is vastly different due to the amount of chakra a ninja has.

Ninjas who are good at Water Style will have their ninjutsu power greatly enhanced if they fight in an environment rich in water.

But by the same token, if a ninja good at Water Style uses ninjutsu in an environment without a water source, not only will the power be greatly reduced, but the chakra consumed will also be more.

The area where the few were currently located was a barren mountain area, but with Kisame's hand seals, a wave like a tsunami suddenly rolled up out of thin air in an environment that originally had no water vapor!

"Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique!"

Looking at the huge wave rolling over, Shengzai did not show weakness and also used a Water Style ninjutsu with hand seals.

Accompanied by a violent shaking of the ground, a huge water ball also rushed out from behind Shengzai and collided with Kisame's Water Style wave.

The water wave collided with the huge water ball, and a large amount of water vapor instantly filled the surroundings, not only moistening the originally dry land in an instant, but the excessive water directly turned the original mountain environment into a huge lake.

Seeing his Exploding Water Colliding Wave blocked by the opponent's Water Style ninjutsu, a look of slight surprise also appeared on Kisame's shark face.

Judging from Shengzai's previous skills and strength, he had always thought that Shengzai was a taijutsu-type ninja, but he didn't expect the other party to be good at ninjutsu as well.

And judging from the power of this Water Style ninjutsu, Shengzai's chakra volume should not be inferior to his!

"Kaguya Shengzai, when I was in the Hidden Mist Village before, I seem to have indeed heard your name, but I didn't expect your strength to be so strong."

Due to keeping a low profile, Hoshigaki Kisame, like Terumi Mei, had heard Shengzai's name before, but had never seen him make a move. He originally thought he was just a bloodline ninja, but looking at it now, it was clearly not the case.

"Water Style: Great Shark Bullet Technique!"

Standing on the lake just formed by the Water Style, Kisame condensed chakra and formed a shark-shaped water bullet to tear at Shengzai.

And when seeing Kisame's signature ninjutsu, Shengzai did not choose to use ninjutsu to compete with the opponent this time, but clenched his fists and condensed his full strength to punch out.

"Empty Cicada———!"

Accompanied by a clear sonic boom in the air, the punch Shengzai threw head-on formed a punch pressure that directly shattered the incoming Great Shark Bullet instantly.

"Shikotsumyaku: Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets!"

Finger bones like bullets shot out from Shengzai's fingertips, and Kisame also swung the Samehada in his hand to block. The ejected finger bones hit Samehada, and sparks like hitting steel also splashed out.

And just when Kisame was blocking the Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets, Shengzai's figure also moved rapidly on the water surface. In less than a few breaths, he dashed in front of Kisame again and launched a high-speed combo attack on him!

Shengzai was quite clear about Kisame's fighting style. Known as the "Tailed Beast without a Tail," he had an astonishing amount of chakra, and his usual fighting style was to use Samehada to weaken the enemy's chakra and then suppress people with force.

The ability of the Great Sword, Samehada, is very strong, but it is also quite cumbersome. Unless he performs "Samehada Fusion" and cooperates with "Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave" to move quickly in the water, Kisame's own movements cannot be considered agile.

Looking at Shengzai, who was holding a bone sword and constantly attacking him, Kisame swung Samehada to block with difficulty while his body kept retreating.

As the fighting time grew longer, the wounds on Kisame's body were constantly increasing, because he discovered that Shengzai was not only strong in taijutsu and ninjutsu, but also quite proficient in sword techniques.

During the period when the two were fighting, it was not that Kisame hadn't thought about using ninjutsu, but it was a pity that the other party didn't give him time to form hand seals at all.

Originally, even in close-quarters combat, Kisame did not fear anyone. As one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, he was naturally extremely good at sword fighting, and Samehada could constantly contact the opponent's body to absorb the opponent's chakra to feed himself.

But the problem now is that the other party is a Shikotsumyaku bloodline user, and his whole body is like a sea urchin, thorny. Samehada cannot obtain chakra from the other party, and the other party's sword technique level is far above his own!

Simply put, after just dozens of rounds of confrontation, Kisame clearly felt that he was not the opponent of this Hidden Mist ninja in front of him.

No, it should be said that the other party is almost a natural counter to him. Unless he uses "Samehada Fusion," he has no chance of winning in front of the other party.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

And just when Kisame was constantly suppressed by Shengzai, and even when Shengzai was about to cut off the arm Kisame used to hold Samehada, accompanied by a sudden hot high temperature in the air, a huge fireball suddenly sprayed toward Shengzai!

"Shikotsumyaku: Bone Tooth Shield Technique!"

A bone shield like neatly arranged teeth appeared in front of Shengzai, and the fireball emitting high temperature was directly blocked.

The Great Fireball was only a C-level ninjutsu, but now in Uchiha Itachi's hands, it was used with the power of a high-level ninjutsu. The bone shield blocking in front of Shengzai was scorched red, and the water on the lake was also evaporated by half, forming a large amount of white fog.

And just as Uchiha Itachi used Fire Style to help Kisame out of the siege, a water whip also swung toward Uchiha Itachi's body from a distance, and directly cut his body in half!

But the body of Uchiha Itachi, who was cut in half, did not bleed a drop of blood, but turned into several crows and flew into the air!

Terumi Mei, who saw this scene, just realized that the situation was not good, and when her body turned to the back, she discovered a pair of blood-red Sharingan.

Terumi Mei wanted to resist, but soon she found that her body could not move at all, and Uchiha Itachi in front of her slowly took out a kunai from his sleeve, preparing to stab her heart!

Watching the kunai getting closer and closer to her, and finally stabbing into her chest, so that the blood flowed endlessly, the surrounding scenery quickly dissipated like a shadow.

And when Terumi Mei reacted again and looked around, she found that Shengzai was already standing behind her, and one hand was resting on her shoulder.

As for the chest that had just been pierced by the kunai, there was no more endless bleeding there, the headlights were still as majestic as ever, but Uchiha Itachi was already standing beside Hoshigaki Kisame.

"I actually fell into the opponent's genjutsu without noticing it. Is this the power of the Sharingan!"
