Chapter 133: Eight Gates and Escape Techniques, Genjutsu
Chapter 133: Eight Gates and Escape Techniques, Genjutsu
"Sasuke has indeed learned quite a few tricks from you, Kakashi." Kurenai Yuhi, having revealed herself, quickly commented from the side.
Due to the fact that both combatants were Uchiha, she hadn't interfered much in the previous battle. Instead, she had gone ahead to the spot where Nu Fa Tian had released his technique and brought back Ying, who had been standing there in a daze.
As a Konoha ninja, it was also their duty to complete the rescue mission of the Tsuchikage's Akimichi clan's allies, the Tsuchikage's vassals, the Earth Spider Clan
Kakashi glanced at Ying and Yaku no Monshi, who were huddled together, and drew out a kunai from his ninja pouch. Holding it in a reverse grip, he calmly said, "I can't say I'm proud of that right now. I'll take the lead in the attack this time, Kurenai. You assist me, and the rest of the team will block off the surroundings."
Kurenai nodded.
As a formal jonin of Konoha, who had to meet strict promotion requirements, even without using genjutsu, her taijutsu and ninjutsu were still on par with a jonin-level ninja. Otherwise, she would have been classified as a special jonin.
Merely assisting Kakashi in the attack was a simple task for her.
The other Konoha ninjas also dispersed as ordered, further blocking off Sasuke's movement.
Boom!
In the distance, Might Guy and Huyi Xuanyue clashed intensely once again.
With a "swish," Kakashi and Kurenai, in perfect coordination, swiftly rushed towards Sasuke from either side using the Body Flicker Technique.
Sasuke dared not be the slightest bit careless.
He had heard what Kurenai said earlier.
Indeed, he had learned this battle strategy of using a ninjutsu to block the enemy's sight while taking the opportunity to cast a new technique from Kakashi a long time ago.
It was just that Kakashi usually used Earth Style Wall to obscure the enemy's vision and then performed the Shadow Clone Technique, leaving the shadow clone in place. While having a high fault tolerance, his true body would hide in secret and take the opportunity to act.
As a tactical master who made good use of his brain, this was Kakashi's consistent approach.
Countless enemies had fallen to this move of his.
Sasuke had just drawn some inspiration from it.
The reason he hadn't used the Shadow Clone Technique was mainly that he didn't have much chakra left.
Unlike Naruto, who could squander chakra at will, Sasuke was very cautious in his use of chakra.
It was just that in front of Kakashi, he could deceive him once, but not a second time.
At this moment, Sasuke, feeling the heavy pressure, moved the Lightning-clad ninja sword in his hand. Instead of retreating, he took the initiative to launch an offense as Kakashi and Kurenai approached.
To avoid injuring anyone else, Guy had deliberately brought Huyi Xuanyue to another place to fight from the very beginning.
Noticing that there was a pool nearby, Huyi Xuanyue followed Guy's intention.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Taking a big step back to dodge Guy's punches and kicks, Huyi Xuanyue performed hand seals, and a huge water dragon rose from the nearby lake and crashed towards Guy.
"Even Water Style is used so skillfully?" Guy thought as he punched the water dragon, causing it to explode.
By leading this "Uchiha Whirlpool" to the waterside, he also intended to restrict the opponent's Fire Style.
He didn't expect that this Uchiha, who usually awakened Fire Style chakra, was also proficient in Water Style.
With the explosion of the water dragon's body, the rain poured down from the sky.
In his seven-gate state, Guy, burdened by his body, quickly rushed towards Huyi Xuanyue without delay.
Boom, boom, boom.
After a few exchanges, Huyi Xuanyue's figure was blasted and turned into a stream of water that fell to the ground.
"Water Clone."
Guy's eyes narrowed, and he swiftly performed a spinning back kick with his right foot, dispersing Huyi Xuanyue, who had appeared from behind, once again into a stream of water that fell to the ground.
In the following moments, Huyi Xuanyue utilized the abundant water source in the pool to create water clones one after another without spending much chakra, continuously launching attacks on Guy.
Amidst the constant harassment, just as Guy was about to suppress them and use a big move to flip Huyi Xuanyue, who was hiding in the pool, over...
Suddenly, he felt a tangible impact on the sole of his foot.
"The real one is behind me!"
Guy's expression changed slightly, and just as he was about to strike back, he glanced up and noticed the falling stream of water that was the remains of the water clone he had just dispersed.
At that moment, he caught a glimpse of Huyi Xuanyue's reflection in the water.
Their eyes met.
Huyi Xuan Yue's Mangekyo Sharingan genjutsu activated!
Guy's body stiffened momentarily.
"It worked," Huyi Xuan Yue muttered, relaxing slightly. But suddenly, Guy's body twitched, as if he was about to regain consciousness.
Huyi Xuan Yue's eyebrows furrowed, and without hesitation, he delivered a whip kick, sending Guy flying out of Mount Kazaki. Then, he rushed towards the endangered Sasuke. Only then did he have the leisure to think to himself:
"The Mangekyo Sharingan genjutsu only controlled Guy for an instant. Does he have such powerful resistance to genjutsu?"
"No, it's the Eight Gates!"
The Eight Gates was a forbidden technique that temporarily granted immense power by unsealing the restraints on the body's chakra.
Once the seals were released, the amount of chakra increased several dozen times, and the chakra itself became wildly violent.
Genjutsu, by its very nature, interfered with an opponent's five senses by manipulating their chakra, causing them to fall into an illusion.
To dispel a genjutsu, one simply needed to disrupt the flow of their own chakra, either by themselves or with the help of others.
With the Seven Gates opened, Guy's chakra raged uncontrollably within him at all times.
While the Mangekyo Sharingan genjutsu could control him for a moment, it would soon be broken by the violent and unruly chakra raging within him.
The only things that could truly affect Guy while he was in the Eight Gates state were probably the Mangekyo Sharingan's techniques, which transcended ordinary genjutsu and defied logic, or the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Sensing something amiss, Huyi Xuan Yue had just kicked Guy, who had snapped out of the genjutsu, out of the mountain.
By the time Guy, who couldn't fly yet, landed, it would be too late.
Whoosh!
With Kai no longer by his side, Huyi Xuanyue swiftly moved towards Sasuke.
Neji Hyuga, who was maintaining the blockade on the outskirts, saw through the approaching figure with his Byakugan and his expression changed as he turned around, about to strike with his Gentle Fist.
Bang!
In an instant, his entire body flew out like a bowling pin, crashing through several building walls before finally coming to a stop.
"So fast!"
In the last moment before he lost consciousness, Neji, remembering everything he had seen with his Byakugan, muttered in shock, and then passed out.
Sasuke's situation was dire.
With Kakashi and Kurenai attacking with all their might as Jonin, along with the coordination of the Konoha ninjas, Sasuke's injuries were mounting.
He no longer had the dazzling ninja sword he'd used earlier to sweep away his opponents, and now he had to face the pressure of fighting Kurenai, a true powerhouse. Sasuke panted for breath, knowing he couldn't hold out much longer.
Sasuke realized he had made a mistake in his previous assessment of Kakashi.
Kakashi was not as mediocre as he had imagined.
On the contrary, Kakashi was very adept at countering his techniques.
"I can't hold on much longer," Sasuke thought, his chakra reserves nearly depleted.
Kakashi, keenly sensing the shift in the battle, moved swiftly.
Just as the two were about to clash...
A figure rudely inserted himself between them.
"Well done," Huyi Xuan Yue said, nodding at Sasuke.
