Chapter 1055: Why Does the Senju Clan Have the Sharingan?
Chapter 1055: Why Does the Senju Clan Have the Sharingan?
As Hizashi Hoshigaki spoke, the arm that Yecheng had severed began to slowly regenerate due to his Eternal Truth ability.
Frankly, although he was a battle maniac and was quite excited to face such a formidable opponent like Yecheng, the damned immortality was starting to annoy him.
A fight where he couldn't be injured and was only slightly worn down—what kind of fight was that? If he had a choice, he would rather have been taken down by Yecheng just now than to survive in this almost shameless way.
Hizashi Hoshigaki was a man of repute, not some faceless, skinless creature.
"Uzumaki brat, I admit you're the real gold in the sand, but be on your guard from now on!"
Looking at the seals he had formed with his hands, Hizashi Hoshigaki knew exactly what jutsu he was about to use, so he couldn't help but give a warning.
"Steam Blast—!"
As a mixture of oil and water coalesced, a child-sized version of Hizashi Hoshigaki, with a massive axe blade on its right arm, appeared before Yecheng and the others.
The "Steam Blast" jutsu was an infinite explosion ninjutsu developed by Hizashi Hoshigaki.
Hizashi Hoshigaki used the oil and water in his body to create a child-sized clone with extremely fast speed and considerable taijutsu skills.
Due to its construction from oil on the outside and water on the inside, the clone had the characteristic of being easily heated and cooled.
Once it moved, the surface oil would rapidly heat up, causing the internal water to evaporate and trigger a steam explosion.
The more steam inside the clone, the larger it would grow, and while this would slow it down, the gas-filled body would give it brief flight capabilities.
When the steam inside the clone reached its limit, the clone would expand to the point of causing a powerful steam explosion.
The most troublesome aspect was that this jutsu could be used infinitely. After a steam explosion, the clone could cool down and shrink by turning into hail, preparing for the next explosion.
Because of its agility, most ninjutsu found it difficult to hit the clone, and physical attacks would slide off the oily surface, even accelerating its heating process.
During the Fourth Ninja War, Hizashi Hoshigaki's "Steam Blast" jutsu caused the Ninja Alliance significant trouble.
The only one capable of capturing the steam clone with a large-scale ninjutsu, Gaara, couldn't control it due to the density difference between oil and sand.
After the previous attack, Hizashi Hoshigaki had admitted defeat. So when his body involuntarily used "Steam Blast", he was about to reveal the jutsu's weakness but was interrupted by Yecheng.
"Steam Blast, a jutsu that even the Second Tsuchikage, who possesses a Kekkei Genkai, found quite troublesome.
The weakness, I believe, is that each explosion leaves the original body in a weakened state, correct?"
Hizashi Hoshigaki was surprised by Yecheng's words. Clearly, he hadn't expected that after so many years, someone still knew the details and weaknesses of his signature jutsu, and that someone was a Konoha ninja, not a Kiri ninja.
"Since you know the weakness of this jutsu, you can wait for the steam explosion and then take advantage of my weakened state. With your physical abilities, you should be able to—"
However, before Hizashi Hoshigaki could finish, Yecheng interrupted him again.
"I've already said that I want to minimize the casualties among Kiri ninjas. Moreover, the battles in other villages are quite intense, and I don't have much time to waste here."
I won't give Steam Blast a chance to explode. I'll take care of it before it can detonate.
Apart from its weakness of being vulnerable after an explosion, it can also be restrained using wide-area Ninjutsu, which happens to be one of my specialties."
As Yecheng finished speaking, he clasped his hands together. The ground around him began to shake violently, and thick tree roots burst forth from the soil. Hizashi Hoshigaki and the Kirigakure ninjas present were all stunned.
"Wood Release!"
Powerful chakra erupted from Yecheng's body, forming a chakra cloak around him. As the massive chakra burst, the vegetation breaking through the ground seemed to invade like a plant, transforming the surrounding area into a dense, primeval jungle within moments!
No matter how fast Hizashi Hoshigaki's Steam Blast clone moved, it couldn't resist the massive vines entangling it from all directions.
Before its expanding body could explode, it was dragged to the ground. Then, the thick tree roots, as if alive, wrapped around it layer by layer, binding it tightly.
"Boom!"
Steam Blast exploded, but under the layers of thick tree roots, it was like a dud, producing only a muffled sound and a slight tremor in the ground.
Seeing his Steam Blast clone tightly bound and dragged beneath the tree roots, Hizashi Hoshigaki was clearly taken aback.
In that moment of shock, the thick tree roots in the surrounding jungle extended toward him like tentacles.
After Steam Blast's explosion, Hoshigaki's body would be weakened, and the area now transformed into a primeval jungle had become Yecheng's domain.
Despite his attempts to escape and evade, Hoshigaki ultimately couldn't avoid being sealed, even after using all his trump cards.
As the numerous tree roots bound Hoshigaki's body, and the Kirigakure ninjas prepared to affix the sealing talismans, Hoshigaki looked at Yecheng with confusion. "Why can someone from the Uzumaki Clan use such a powerful Mokuton Kekkei Genkai?"
"It's simple. My name is Senju Yecheng, and I am a member of the Senju clan."
Hoshigaki's expression turned to shock upon hearing Yecheng's words. The Sharingan Yecheng had previously displayed was clearly not ordinary, leading Hoshigaki to believe that Yecheng was a genius of the Uzumaki Clan.
But now, with the activation of the Mokuton Kekkei Genkai, Hoshigaki was even more stunned. After all, the last person to use Mokuton was the God of the Ninja World, who had once dominated the entire Ninja World!
"Ha ha ha ha, I thought you were just a gold nugget, but you're a gold mine!
Konoha actually let someone like you marry into our Mist Village. What a pity, I won't be around to see the interesting future..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Hoshigaki was sealed by the Mist Village ninjas.
After sealing the Second Mizukage, the other Kirigakure ninjas looked at Yecheng with eyes full of admiration and respect.
