Chapter 18: Kagura Chizuru

That night, a curved crescent moon hung high in the night sky.

Bu Zhi Bu Jue stepped into this courtyard; he had expected a large number of bodyguards to surround him, but in reality, there was no one there but himself.

The surroundings were deathly silent; if Bu Zhi Bu Jue listened carefully, he could hear the sound of the wind stirring the flower petals.

Wait... petals?

Rose petals, the color of fresh blood, fell from the sky, dancing along with the cool autumn breeze.

The bright red petals were like drops of blood, diffusing an eerie and mysterious aura that made one feel uneasy upon smelling them.

At this moment, a dark shadow walked out from ahead.

This was a woman with a graceful figure; her body was light and agile, and she reached Bu Zhi Bu Jue in just a few seconds.

A pure white top, a head of long black hair, and straight black trousers lent her a touch of cold detachment.

Bu Zhi Bu Jue naturally knew this woman; she was a descendant of one of the Three Sacred Treasures Jiazu that sealed "Orochi" 1,800 years ago.

Kagura Chizuru, of the "Yata" bloodline!

And of course, she was also the... famous wealthy woman of the Kagura Financial Group!

"How wonderful. Even though it is our first time meeting, it feels as if you already know me."

Kagura Chizuru's stunning face paired with that mature-woman voice was simply a "younger brother killer."

Bu Zhi Bu Jue certainly knew Kagura Chizuru, but that was in a game, and this woman shouldn't have come to contact him at this point in time.

Of course, it was absolutely impossible to tell Kagura Chizuru these things.

"Do you usually hit on guys like this?" Bu Zhi Bu Jue retorted sarcastically at Kagura Chizuru.

"Hehe~" Kagura Chizuru uttered two words.

"Shiranui Mai and King were taken away by you, right?" The address information given by Duan Changren was here; since Kagura Chizuru appeared here, it proved that Duan Changren's answer was not wrong.

"Not bad. The two of them are indeed here, and I did indeed take them away."

Kagura Chizuru answered very readily.

"What exactly are your intentions?"

"I just happened to run into the two of them on the road, so I stepped in to save them." Kagura Chizuru extended her slender, fair palm, and the corners of her mouth curled up as she said: "However, I do have one intention, and that is to see you and exchange a few moves with you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Kagura Chizuru's body tilted slightly forward, and then a figure almost identical to her appeared out of thin air in front of her.

Hundred Activities: Heavenly God Logic!!

The "shadow attack" conjured by Kagura Chizuru possessed highly precise operability; Bu Zhi Bu Jue was seen being grabbed directly by this shadow and thrown into the air with a "throw move"!

Following this, the shadow's attack did not stop; its hands condensed white gas, and its body began to rotate and dance.

During this process, Bu Zhi Bu Jue was continuously struck by the shadow's "dancing" attack.

After this ultimate technique of Kagura Chizuru ended, Bu Zhi Bu Jue's body fell from above onto the ground.

With a "bang"~

Bu Zhi Bu Jue's body suddenly turned into a piece of rotten wood.

The wonderful utility of the Substitution Jutsu was, naturally, incredibly useful.

Kagura Chizuru did not seem angry about this; instead, she revealed an even brighter smile.

Right, if he were a man so easily dealt with, he wouldn't be worth Kagura Chizuru coming out to meet him.

"Over there!" Kagura Chizuru discovered the location where Bu Zhi Bu Jue appeared in advance and approached with an eerie speed.

After using the Substitution Jutsu, Bu Zhi Bu Jue would appear from a pre-arranged location, and Kagura Chizuru seemed to have locked onto Bu Zhi Bu Jue beforehand through some kind of technique.

Rasengan!

Bu Zhi Bu Jue pinched a blue sphere on his palm; he didn't hold back at all as he blasted it toward Kagura Chizuru's beautiful face.

Facing the ferocious Rasengan, Kagura Chizuru actually did not dodge, but instead increased her speed by a few notches.

The Rasengan struck Kagura Chizuru's cheek directly and exploded instantly!

At this moment, a circular hole splattered with blood was blasted into Kagura Chizuru's beautiful face.

This was the trace left by the injury from the Rasengan.

Bu Zhi Bu Jue was shocked in his heart; did this woman have something wrong with her brain?

The next second, Bu Zhi Bu Jue knew he was wrong, wrong in a truly outrageous way.

Seeing the wound blasted out by the Rasengan expand, Kagura Chizuru's entire body collapsed and dissipated at an extremely fast speed; it turned out this was merely a trick of the eye, a technique similar to the Substitution Jutsu.

"You let your guard down, Bu Zhi Bu Jue." Kagura Chizuru appeared miraculously at Bu Zhi Bu Jue's lower body position.

Following this, Kagura Chizuru's palms struck Bu Zhi Bu Jue's body rapidly.

Hundred-Eight Activities: Sound of the Jade Echo!!

Kagura Chizuru once again conjured a "shadow clone" almost identical to her true self from in front of her.

At this time, the person and the shadow were both crouched at Bu Zhi Bu Jue's lower body position; the scene was a bit R-rated, but Bu Zhi Bu Jue knew this was the horn for Kagura Chizuru's attack.

This shadow clone's arms rotated like a windmill, continuously striking Bu Zhi Bu Jue's body at an extremely fast speed.

During this period, Bu Zhi Bu Jue felt his upper body was almost going numb from the strikes.

Finally, the shadow clone's palms struck together, blasting Bu Zhi Bu Jue away.

Boom!

The wall was blasted apart and collapsed.

Looking at the pile of collapsed rubble ahead, Kagura Chizuru's eyes stared intently, not daring to be the least bit careless.

She firmly believed that this man would not be defeated by her so easily; otherwise, all of this would be meaningless.

Trembling.

The pile of rubble began to expand, and then one Bu Zhi Bu Jue clone after another surged out toward Kagura Chizuru.

Kagura Chizuru was very calm; she had watched videos of Bu Zhi Bu Jue's battles, and she was already well aware of these clone human-sea tactics.

Understanding is one thing, but when truly facing this group of clones, Kagura Chizuru could not help but frown.

Because it was too annoying!

These clones were as numerous as an anthill, and their coordination was excellent.

Even with the help of the power of the Yata to summon the phantom of Kagura Maki to assist, Kagura Chizuru still felt exhausted and troubled.

A question appeared in Kagura Chizuru's heart.

Could Bu Zhi Bu Jue not get tired or have no consumption when deploying such a massive number of clones?

Kagura Chizuru could not help but mutter to herself, and her gaze gradually became dazed.

The Multiple Shadow Clone Technique naturally consumes a great deal, otherwise this ninjutsu would not be listed as one of the forbidden arts.

However, the chakra within Bu Zhi Bu Jue could afford the consumption.

Kagura Chizuru, like Nikaido Benimaru, had already fallen into the rhythm of human-sea tactics.

Becoming tired, Kagura Chizuru was careless for a moment and was seized by an opportunity from Bu Zhi Bu Jue, who was positioned to her rear.

"Rasengan!"

The blue sphere lit up.

Two Hundred Twenty-Third Style - Blessing of Godspeed!

Kagura Chizuru turned from one into many, becoming several afterimages; not only did she dodge the Rasengan, but the phantoms also rapidly converged after scattering.

The moment they converged, a terrifying energy expansion erupted.

Boom... boom, boom, boom.

Poof~

The Bu Zhi Bu Jue whose Rasengan missed turned into a puff of white smoke, and Kagura Chizuru secretly thought it was bad.

But it was too late; the real Bu Zhi Bu Jue had already appeared behind her, and the activation of his Byakugan saw Kagura Chizuru "transparently" and clearly.

Including the other party's muscles, bones, and openings!

"Gentle Fist, Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms."

Bu Zhi Bu Jue unleashed the move "Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms."

Thud, thud, thud.

The fists landed entirely on Kagura Chizuru's body.

Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud...

In a series of muffled sounds, Kagura Chizuru's skin was tough enough that she was not injured by this.

But the attacks still continued.
