Chapter 485: , The Fall of the Blue Meteor

Kirigakure, the central training ground.

The battle between Bee and Mizunuki Shinichi was still continuing.

As a Jonin of the Mizunuki clan, because of his bloodline, Mizunuki Shinichi's strength was slightly higher than other Jonin; although he hadn't earned the title of "Elite Jonin," he was indeed a Jonin with considerable strength.

Under Mizunuki Shinichi's strict preparation, there was no situation of being killed in seconds this time.

Shinichi cleverly used a water clone to withstand Bee's opening instant kill, which relied on god-like speed, and then directly activated the Mizunuki clan's iconic secret technique—Demonic Mirror Ice Crystals!

Mizunuki Shinichi also thought very clearly: with his strength, wanting to defeat Bee would be extremely difficult.

Since he couldn't win, there was no need to set his goal on an unrealistic victory.

His goal was one word—stall!

As long as he stalled until Doi Masao brought back reinforcements to stop Bee from continuing his provocation, he would be considered the winner.

At this moment, countless demonic mirrors formed of cold ice surrounded Bee in the center; in each ice mirror was a figure of Mizunuki Shinichi, making it impossible for Bee to distinguish which was the real body and which was fake.

Regarding this, Bee's approach was also very direct.

Since he couldn't distinguish, he would hit them one by one! He would eventually attack Mizunuki Shinichi's real body!

He didn't believe that Mizunuki Shinichi's chakra was infinite!

"Boom!!! 757"

Manic blue-purple chakra surged wildly on Bee's body; he smashed the ice mirror in front of him with a punch, and the scattered ice fragments flew all over the sky.

Without any pause, Bee continued to attack the nearby ice mirrors.

For a time, countless ice mirrors were smashed into fragments by his iron fists under Bee's rampage.

Although every time Bee smashed an ice mirror, Mizunuki Shinichi would immediately create a new one to fill it, Bee's speed was truly astonishing, which caused the speed at which the ice mirrors were destroyed to be much faster than Mizunuki Shinichi had imagined.

The most fatal thing was that even if Mizunuki Shinichi abandoned these ice mirrors first and controlled the ice mirrors to explode and launch a counterattack against Bee, it still had no effect at all.

The lightning armor on Bee's body easily blocked the attack of the shattered ice crystals.

And this made Mizunuki Shinichi's chakra difficult to sustain; he gritted his teeth, knowing that he must form interference against Bee as soon as possible to hinder Bee's progress in destroying the ice mirrors.

Otherwise, if this continued, his chakra would soon be exhausted.

Mizunuki Shinichi in the dozens of ice mirrors formed hand seals simultaneously, which made Bee frown.

Bee's intuition told him that he might be in danger under this move of his opponent.

Facing this Demonic Mirror Ice Crystals move, he was not without a way to break it, but he didn't want to waste too much chakra on a Jonin, so he chose the most time-consuming but most chakra-saving method of breaking them one by one.

Bee's lightning armor was ultimately not the Third Raikage's lightning armor, and in terms of defensive power, it was still far inferior.

So he clearly felt that if he were hit by this move, there would probably be a problem.

Afterward, he relaxed his tightly furrowed brows.

"If it's like this, then there's no other way."

Bee said in his heart, while the blue-purple chakra on his body surged again.

Lightning Release: Lariat!

Bee jumped with all his might, leaving a blurred shadow in place, jumped high at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and simultaneously raised his right foot above his head.

Afterward, Bee in mid-air slashed his right foot down heavily, and dazzling electric light erupted from his whole body; his burly body suddenly fell crazily like a blue meteor.

At the same time, Mizunuki Shinichi in the ice mirror had also finished forming hand seals.

Secret Technique: Water Needle Killing!

This move was already the ninja technique with the strongest lethality that Mizunuki Shinichi had mastered so far.

Mizunuki Shinichi originally just wanted to use this move to stall for time, but he never expected that it would evolve into a collision of ultimate moves.

But since things had come to this, Mizunuki Shinichi could only choose to go all-in.

Countless water flows appeared in the air, and then quickly condensed into ice needles under the influence of the cold air; a massive amount of ice needles changed direction in the air, aiming at the blue meteor falling from the sky.

"Swish!!!"

The next second, a massive amount of ice needles shot toward the blue meteor.

But facing the torrent formed by the ice needles, the blue meteor was like a train in motion, destroying all the ice needle torrents blocking its path with unstoppable momentum.

"Boom! (chcc)!!!"

As the meteor landed, a massive amount of terrifying electric current spread along the ground toward the surroundings, and violent shockwaves and smoke and dust spread outward.

"Who won?"

This question appeared in everyone's heart.

But many people with keen eyes had already seen that Mizunuki Shinichi was far from being Bee's opponent.

Even more so, some were already worried about Mizunuki Shinichi; under such a terrifying Lightning Release ninja-body technique, could he still be alive?

The smoke and dust dissipated, and the hard bluestone ground of the training ground had been smashed into a large pit ten meters in diameter and three meters deep.

Bee jumped up, jumped out of the pit lightly, looked around casually, patted the dust off his body, and seemed indifferent to everything.

Not only was Mizunuki Shinichi's figure long gone from the surroundings, but all the ice mirrors had also been destroyed by Bee's move.

Everyone was shocked; could it be that Mizunuki Shinichi was really killed by Bee in one blow?

"Clack"

The sound of crushed stones being moved reached Bee's ears, and everyone looked toward the pit behind Bee.

Under a shattered bluestone slab, Mizunuki Shinichi, who was extremely disheveled, crawled out from underneath and crawled out of the pit in a sorry state.

At the last moment, he used an ice wall to block the aftermath of the Lightning Release: Lariat attack; Bee's idea was just to use this move to destroy all the ice mirrors and did not lock onto his position.

Otherwise, just by relying on an ice wall, Mizunuki Shinichi would probably not have survived Bee's frontal attack.

Bee also had a certain estimation of the strength of the attack.

After all, it was just a fight of spirit; if he killed someone, he wouldn't be able to end it.

The current situation was already Bee deliberately holding back.

Even so, Mizunuki Shinichi had confirmed that his left arm was fractured and three ribs in his abdomen were broken; such injuries had already caused him to completely lose his combat ability.

Seeing that Mizunuki Shinichi was not in danger of his life, the onlookers breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, everyone looked at Bee with solemn eyes; the strength shown by this Cloud ninja had clearly exceeded the scope of ordinary ninjas.

They also knew that Mizunuki Shinichi didn't lose unjustly.

The fact that Mizunuki Shinichi could stall for so long showed that he had already tried his best.

As soon as Mizunuki Shinichi crawled out of the pit, he collapsed to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

Bee just glanced at the defeated opponent beside him and didn't pay any more attention to Mizunuki Shinichi.

"Next."

Just as Bee intended to continue his provocation, a weak but firm voice interrupted him.

"Cough cough..."

"What are you saying, you haven't defeated me yet..."

Hearing the sound, Bee turned his head in surprise, only to find that Mizunuki Shinichi behind him had climbed up again at some point.

Mizunuki Shinichi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up with difficulty, and pulled out the kunai from his waist with his only remaining left hand... ===== CHAPTER 487 =====
