Chapter 233

Fortunately, the Phoenix Sage Fire Jutsu, among C-level Fire Release, has limited lethality.

The "Adamantium Cat" waved its sharp claws with both hands, defending against all directions airtight for a moment.

The sharp claws directly slashed through the middle of the fireballs; the claw shadows, which were too fast to see clearly, directly cut all five fireballs apart.

Although the fireballs were annihilated by the ninja cat's sharp claws.

But the scattered sparks still ignited the ninja cat's furry fur.

Helpless, this "Adamantium Cat" had to quickly roll on the ground to extinguish the flames on its body.

After a round of probing attacks, Terumi Mei already roughly knew the opponent's characteristics.

The opponent is a typical type that focuses on close combat, with excellent taijutsu and agility, combined with the strengthening of Yang Release secret techniques.

Such an opponent's close combat ability must be extraordinary, so she must never let the opponent get close easily.

After making up her mind, Terumi Mei did not stop, continuing to form hand seals to release Fire Release.

Fire Release: Dragon Fire Jutsu!

Although Dragon Fire Jutsu is also C-level like Phoenix Sage Fire, the attack is more concentrated than Phoenix Sage Fire, so the power is also greater.

The scorching tongue of fire was spat out from Terumi Mei's mouth; the scorching aura made the fur of the ninja cat on the opposite side curl slightly.

But this time, Terumi Mei's Fire Release did not work.

Because the opponent was too fast!

The "Adamantium Cat" suddenly expanded its leg muscles the moment Terumi Mei launched the Dragon Fire Jutsu, and its lower body suddenly became extremely sturdy.

This change also caused the "Adamantium Cat's" movement speed to suddenly climb a notch, causing him to dodge the attack of the Dragon Fire Jutsu by a narrow margin.

Of course, being so close to the Dragon Fire Jutsu, the ninja cat's fur was inevitably scorched by the flames, but on the whole, he was still unscathed.

"So fast!"

Terumi Mei was shocked in her heart, but in this instant, the opponent had already stuck to Terumi Mei's front.

On the two cat claws, a total of ten sharp claws slashed toward Terumi Mei without mercy.

In a panic, Terumi Mei could only pull out her personal bladed tools to fight.

"Clang!!!"

The moment the sharp claws and Terumi Mei's kunai came into contact, the kunai actually snapped directly!

"What!"

Terumi Mei's pupils shrank slightly.

The next second.

"Pfft!!!"

Blood splattered, and Mizunuki Ryosuke off the stage sank his eyes slightly.

"Huff, huff, huff..."

Terumi Mei panted heavily, covering her other shoulder with one hand.

At this moment, there were five deep-to-the-bone wounds there, and blood kept overflowing from the wounds.

And on the other side of the arena, the "Adamantium Cat" waved its claws, shaking off the blood on them.

It turned to look at Terumi Mei, who had fled to the distance.

Just now at the critical moment, Terumi Mei used the Body Replacement Jutsu to dodge the opponent's claw strike, but because the opponent's speed was too fast, Terumi Mei's Body Replacement Jutsu was released a beat too slow, so she still suffered damage.

After the replacement ended, Terumi Mei immediately pulled distance again using the Body Flicker Jutsu.

"Body Flicker Jutsu," the highest-level ninjutsu among the three basic ninja techniques.

This kind of jutsu is generally only mastered by ninjas at the Jonin level; it looks like a "teleportation" ninjutsu.

But in reality, it is just ultra-high-speed movement consuming a large amount of chakra; because the speed is too fast, it is mistaken for "teleportation," hence the name "Body Flicker Jutsu."

In the original work, the high-level ninja of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Shisui, was called "Body Flicker Shisui" precisely because his Body Flicker Jutsu was used to perfection.

With Terumi Mei's strength at this time, using the Body Flicker Jutsu has a huge burden.

Not only will it cause a large consumption of chakra, but the body also cannot withstand the backlash brought by continuous Body Flicker Jutsu in a short time.

In such a high-intensity battle, I am afraid this is the only chance to use the Body Flicker Jutsu.

Originally Terumi Mei wanted to save it for her trump card, but the situation was critical just now, so she had no choice but to use it.

Having missed one strike, the ninja cat was not discouraged at all, and again rushed toward Terumi Mei at an extremely fast speed.

"What to do?"

Terumi Mei's gaze flickered.

The path of close combat has basically been blocked; the opponent is not only a close combat specialist but also has Yang Release strengthened sharp claws enough to tear Terumi Mei's bladed tools. Without bladed tools, Terumi Mei cannot confront the opponent bare-handed at all.

And in terms of ninjutsu, high-intensity ninjutsu requires too long a time to form hand seals, and the opponent will not give her such a long preparation time.

And releasing low-level ninjutsu does not constitute enough threat to this ninja cat, not even the Fire Release that counters the opponent.

Genjutsu?

Terumi Mei hasn't tried it, but this is not a field Terumi Mei is good at; at a critical moment, she naturally cannot bet everything on this.

Thinking and thinking, a hint of resolution flashed in Terumi Mei's eyes.

No matter what, she must win!

At this moment, the belief in her heart burst forth.
