Chapter 304: Boosting Hari's Strength!
Chapter 304: Boosting Hari's Strength!
"Ah!"
"Be careful!"
...
A series of agonizing screams reached Hari's ears.
He never imagined the situation would escalate to this point. Initially, he came to support Fuyuki Namikaze, but now he was being blocked by the enemy.
Breaking through their interception wasn't an option he hadn't considered, but every time he made a move, he was immediately countered by a sudden attack.
Moreover, the enemy was exceptionally skilled at hiding.
Even though he was aware of their presence nearby, he couldn't pinpoint their location.
"This won't do! I can't let this continue!"
Hari made up his mind.
"Fire Style: Flame Dragon Inferno Bomb!"
He intended to use this ninjutsu to clear the surroundings, preventing the enemy from using these objects for cover.
Whoosh!
An intense flame erupted, burning a large area to ashes.
This move impressed Hyuga Cangyue, the Third Hokage, who had always stayed within the village and never participated in the Great Ninja War. She had just killed a Root Division member, and now she was impressed by Hari's action.
At the very least, her combat experience was commendable.
No matter how proficient she was in stealth, she couldn't simply 'disappear into thin air.' Without these obstacles, it was indeed became challenging for her to hide.
However, there was no need to worry!
Her combat style wasn't that of an 'assassin'; her frontal assaults were equally formidable. If the enemy wanted to engage in a head-on battle, she would oblige.
But before that, she needed to deal with those troublesome individuals.
Three small teams of Root Division members had accompanied Hari to provide support, along with a small team of the Pig-Deer-Butterfly trio.
It wasn't that the village couldn't spare more forces.
The reason for this limited deployment was the uncertainty of potential enemies beyond the Nine-Tails, coupled with the need to handle subsequent matters. Consequently, the number of reinforcements sent was naturally kept to a minimum.
Additionally, they had to search for the direction of the space-time transfer, which further reduced their numbers.
With Hyuga Cangyue activating her 'Full Map Display,' her killing efficiency was remarkable.
Most importantly, she possessed extensive knowledge of the Leaf Village's secret techniques and strategies, and her overwhelming strength allowed her to swiftly eliminate these individuals and block Hari's path.
"Third Hokage, I've said this path is blocked!"
Hyuga Cangyue's right hand dropped, and a cylindrical blade appeared.
"Earth Style: Heart Decapitation Technique!"
In an instant, Hyuga Cangyue was pulled into the ground.
Hari's figure transformed into a cloud of smoke and exploded.
Shadow Clone Jutsu!
A simple three-shadow clone technique successfully deceived Hyuga Cangyue.
The crucial factor was that she had activated her Rebirth Eye.
It was undeniable that the enemy's shadow clone technique was exceptionally proficient, and he couldn't fathom how they had achieved such mastery.
"Indeed!"
"There's something wrong with your eyes!"
"You possess an ability similar to the Byakugan, allowing you to see through the chakra within a person's body!"
Hari emerged from behind a tree.
The one in the ground was merely a shadow clone, which had been destroyed the moment it succeeded, so he abandoned the idea of taking advantage of the opportunity to strike.
At this moment, he had also gathered a considerable amount of information about Hyuga Cangyue.
Not only did he discern her abilities related to attraction and repulsion, but he also gleaned a lot about her eyes.
When it came to analytical skills, Hari was genuinely exceptional.
It could be said that the strong individuals in the ninja world were not foolish (except for the protagonist). After all, if they were stupid enough not to analyze the enemy's information, they wouldn't have survived this long.
"Is that so!"
Hyuga Cangyue leaped out of the ground.
When she was pulled into the earth, her first instinct was to use chakra to 'crush' Hari's shadow clone.
It was a simplified version of 'Reversal Heaven.'
Unfortunately, the target was a shadow clone, not the real body.
Otherwise, this strike would have inflicted significant damage.
Hari quickly formed hand seals.
"Earth Style: Earth Dragon Bullet!"
"Fire Style: Fire Dragon Bullet!"
Now, he was about to utilize his most proficient ability.
Known as both the 'Ninja Hero' and the 'Ninja Technique Doctor,' his prowess in ninjutsu was unparalleled. It was this strength that allowed him to overpower Danzo in the past.
Combined jutsu was his ultimate skill.
By merging multiple ninjutsu, he created a more formidable technique.
Kakudo also possessed this ability, but he relied on the Earth Vengeful Worm as a shortcut and didn't genuinely merge the ninjutsu.
"Combined Ninja Art: Earth Dragon Flame Stream!"
A massive Earth Dragon head appeared beside Hari, spewing out an earth stream towards the front, while he himself released a fire stream, intertwining in mid-air to form a devastating flame stream.
The power of the combined ninja art was indeed far superior to ordinary ninjutsu.
The fusion of two originally B-rank ninjutsu resulted in a strength that surpassed regular A-rank, and the cost was merely two B-rank techniques, an incredibly advantageous trade-off.
However, to play with such a combination required an extremely powerful chakra control and an in-depth understanding of nature transformation.
In this regard, Hari was undoubtedly the strongest in the Shinobi World.
As for the Otsutsuki Clan, they were all overpowered and not suitable for comparison.
Facing the Earth Dragon Flame Stream that dominated her field of vision, Hyuga Cangyue showed no intention of dodging. Instead, she extended her right hand.
"Divine Raging Heaven's Sign!"
A direct head-on clash.
An incredibly powerful repulsive force expanded with her as the core, sweeping away everything in its path.
Boom! Countless clumps of dirt and rocks scattered, and the repulsive force expanded forward.
The lava, melted by the flames into a liquid state, also carried a terrifying impact, colliding head-on with the expanding repulsive force.
Bang!
Just like a surging river hitting a reef, the lava was torn apart.
Indeed, Divine Raging Heaven's Sign was far more powerful than the Earth Dragon Flame Stream.
Don't joke around!
What level are you, and what level am I, to dare to try and scam me?
Divine Raging Heaven's Sign's control over repulsive forces came from the Rebirth Eye, and even without fully awakening it, it wasn't something a combined ninja art could match.
So, it was normal for this situation to occur.
Perhaps Hari himself was aware of this, but he still made this choice for another reason.
Time!
The repulsive force of Divine Raging Heaven's Sign didn't last long, while the Earth Dragon Flame Stream was a continuous ninjutsu that could be prolonged by consuming more chakra.
One could only say that the Third Hokage's combat experience was indeed rich, as he had already thought of a solution in a short time.
As soon as the repulsive force of Divine Raging Heaven's Sign ended, the originally blocked Earth Dragon Flame Stream surged forward.
Hyuga Cangyue took a deep breath and assumed a punching stance.
A regular attack wouldn't require such a posture.
But the next strike was a technique she had only mastered recently.
"Triple Divine Vacuum Punch!"
Almost instantly, she unleashed three punches, and the terrifying fist energy began to overlap, finally condensing into a force that swept forward.
While the chakra consumption wasn't overly exaggerated, the technique's skill level was geometrically enhanced.
However, corresponding to the difficulty, the power increased geometrically as well.
Boom!!
The ground was torn apart, and the air shattered.
The originally terrifying Earth Dragon Flame Stream, like a force of nature, was directly shattered by this punch, forcing Hari to retreat to create distance.
When the fist energy dissipated,
a deep, several-meter-wide, and over a hundred-meter-long massive gorge appeared on the ground.
The smooth edges of the gorge demonstrated the concentrated power of the Divine Vacuum Punch.
Terrifying! Just the Triple Divine Vacuum Punch was already this powerful; if it were the 'Eighty Divine Vacuum Punch,' its might would indeed be akin to destroying heaven and earth.
"This is truly frightening!"
Hari, who had dodged the attack by jumping to the side, couldn't help but exclaim.
Suddenly, he felt something amiss, but before he could react, a powerful force from behind kicked him away.
Bang!
Hyuga Cangyue sent Hari flying.
This was because the attack wasn't lethal; if she had used Focused Air Palm, her opponent's intuition might have alerted them immediately.
In battles between strong opponents, it's common to see one side getting brutally beaten as if their evasive abilities were lacking.
But in reality, this is because intuition doesn't always alert against attacks with limited threat, like in this case. If it were a lethal strike, you'd see them dodging it.
After kicking Hari away, Hyuga Cangyue aimed her palm at him in mid-air.
"Ten Thousand World Attraction!"
She directly sucked him back.
However, when she grabbed him, she realized it was a wooden stake with an explosive tag that had just finished burning.
Boom!
Flames and explosions engulfed Hyuga Cangyue.
