Chapter 67: The Yagura!

Gamabunta leapt over the heads of the Mist ninja army, countless hidden weapons shooting upward, all deflected by his great sword.

Above him, Fujinaka Genma had turned around.

Vvvvvv!

The piercing, shrill sound intensified as Fujinaka Genma whipped his right arm.

A white, high-speed spinning windmill was thrown diagonally downward from high above, aimed straight at the front of the Mist ninja army.

Of course, as the Mist ninja turned, what had been the front was now the rear.

“Watch out!”

“Water Release!”

The Mist ninja had excellent intelligence; the commanding jonin barked orders.

Instantly.

Over three hundred Mist ninja formed hand seals in perfect unison.

Water Release: Water Cannon Pillar!

Gushes of water surged upward, merging into a vast ocean.

But this was only part of the Mist ninja’s technique.

“Truly elite!”

Fujinaka Genma’s expression hardened.

Immediately, the Wind Release: Spiral Shuriken collided violently with the rising water columns.

Boom!

Countless fine wind needles from the Spiral Shuriken were blocked by the water columns, yet the terrifying rotational force shattered them, turning the storm into a torrential downpour that rained down like drops on banana leaves, engulfing the Mist ninja.

Even the Mist ninja beside Fujinaka Genma, the main force, and the Hidden Leaf ninja army were caught in the blast.

“This isn’t good—this situation favors the Mist ninja!”

Jiraiya frowned, then bit his finger, forming seals to summon a summoning beast.

On the other side.

As Gamabunta descended, Fujinaka Genma hurled the Magnet Release: Spiral Shuriken from his left hand as well.

This time, the target was the center of the Mist ninja army.

At the same time.

The Mist ninja’s technique was ready.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

This time, multiple jonin combined their chakra.

In the environment they had just created, casting was easier.

Streams of water dragons coalesced, then surged forth like ten thousand dragons racing, colliding with the roaring Magnet Release: Spiral Shuriken.

Upon impact, the water dragons exploded, and the Magnet Release: Spiral Shuriken detonated simultaneously, creating a wide-area magnetic field descending upon them.

At that moment, over a hundred ninja were bound by magnetic force.

“Now!”

“Gamabunta, jump again!”

Fujinaka Genma shouted, forming seals at the same time to create two shadow clones.

“Understood!”

As Gamabunta’s massive form landed, he spun and leapt upward again.

Water Release: Water Cannon!

Gamabunta pressed one forelimb against his belly, casting a technique from midair—two massive water-ball projectiles, one aimed at the front of the Mist ninja army, one at the rear, deliberately bypassing the magnetically bound center.

At this moment.

Fujinaka Genma and his two shadow clones each gripped several Flying Thunder God shuriken, firing them like a rain of white lasers, zipping toward the center of the Mist ninja army.

Multiple Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!

Boom!

Torrential rain returned.

Gamabunta’s two Water Cannon projectiles were jointly blocked by the Mist ninja.

But the Mist ninja trapped in the magnetic field had no resistance—the countless white lasers cut through them like reaping wheat, slaughtering dozens outright.

Remember, Level 3 Strike plus Level 1 Throw grants a total 40% damage boost.

Added to that, the high-frequency Lightning Blade granted astonishing penetration—utterly unstoppable.

And Magnet Release did not interfere with Fujinaka Genma’s shuriken.

Thus, this strike achieved tremendous results.

“Gamabunta, return!”

On Gamabunta’s back, Fujinaka Genma and his shadow clones each formed a single hand seal.

“Alright, Genma, be careful—summon me anytime!”

Gamabunta nodded, then vanished with a puff.

Fujinaka Genma and his two shadow clones, falling through the air, also vanished, using Flying Thunder God to reappear directly within the Mist ninja ranks.

White lightning wrapped around his body, one hand holding a Lightning Fang chakra blade, the other a Lightning Release: Spiral Sphere.

Zzzz…

Like throwing grenades.

One after another, Lightning Release: Spiral Spheres flew out and detonated among the crowd.

The Lightning Release: Spiral Spheres concealed their trajectories; the Mist ninja just freed from the magnetic field were instantly stunned, and with Fujinaka Genma’s body and two clones charging through at high speed, they easily cut down lives, severing heads.

In the chaotic melee, where friend and foe were intermingled, the Mist ninja on both flanks—the former front and rear sections—could no longer coordinate techniques against Fujinaka Genma.

Watching the three Fujinaka Genmas slaughter in all directions, each jonin and elite of the special assassination unit gritted their teeth, forming small squads and charging en masse.

On the other side.

Hundreds of Hidden Leaf ninja, seeing Fujinaka Genma wipe out dozens of Mist ninja in one move, instantly surged with morale.

Jiraiya roared: “Charge!”

Before his words ended, he leapt forward as the first frog, charging toward the opposing Mist ninja.

Opposite.

The Mist ninja commander, Mizun, watched the scene beside him, seeing Fujinaka Genma still unstoppable, nearly grinding his teeth to dust.

But now, with the Hidden Leaf army charging, he could not afford to be distracted.

Besides.

He refused to believe that over three hundred elite ninja, even if they couldn’t win, couldn’t wear Fujinaka Genma down through sheer exhaustion.

So.

He waved his hand, leading his army forward against the Hidden Leaf ninja.

A chaotic battle erupted!

On the other side.

Hundreds of core Mist ninja.

Fujinaka Genma, facing over a hundred Mist ninja rushing from both sides, felt immense pressure.

His two shadow clones charged toward each flank, using nearby Flying Thunder God shuriken to delay time with incredible speed and devastating lethality.

Meanwhile, Fujinaka Genma himself clasped his hands together, gathering chakra to cast a technique.

Suddenly.

A bird’s cry sounded overhead.

A Mist ninja descended from above using a flight summoning technique, wielding a great sword in a downward slash.

Fujinaka Genma didn’t blink; senbon from his tool pouch shot upward.

The descending Mist ninja twisted his blade to deflect the senbon, but the senbon veered sharply, causing him to miss.

Immediately, one of Fujinaka Genma’s shadow clones appeared beside the senbon, near the Mist ninja’s side, and kicked his waist.

Crack!

The Mist ninja didn’t even have time to scream—his body snapped clean at the waist, flying sideways, dead before he hit the ground.

Fujinaka Genma’s shadow clone vanished again from midair, reappearing behind a Mist ninja on the ground, slicing him down with one strike.

At that moment.

A Mist ninja Fujinaka Genma recognized rushed forward.

“The future Fourth Mizukage…”

Seeing the childlike figure, Fujinaka Genma’s shadow clone unconsciously thought it, then saw the man form a water mirror; with a staff’s pull, a perfect replica of himself leapt out.

Clang!

Chakra blades clashed!

The figure reflected in the water mirror exploded; Fujinaka Genma’s clone immediately faced three Mist jonin.

No time to think.

Four figures interwove.

Two wet thuds—two Mist ninja split in two and fell to the ground; Fujinaka Genma’s clone also vanished with a puff.

First shadow clone, destroyed!
