Chapter 444: Mist Ninja vs. Three-Tailed Demon!
Chapter 444: Mist Ninja vs. Three-Tailed Demon!
Tailed Beast Ball!
Three-Tailed Jibatsu prepared to unleash its power.
If it hit its target, the Mist Village would be history.
Although the Tailed Beast Ball had numerous drawbacks, such as slow gathering speed, slow flight, and more, it had one overwhelming advantage—power.
Its terrifying might could blast away even a small mountain.
Naturally, the Mist Ninjas wouldn't allow it to be released without a fight.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet!"
"Water Style: Water Cannon Jutsu!"
"Water Style: Water Jet Jutsu!"
...
Various Water Style techniques were unleashed, and with the drizzle from the sky, their power was several times greater than in environments like the Fire Country.
But it was useless!
The common trait of Tailed Beasts was their thick skin and powerful defense, making it impossible to break through unless the attack reached a certain level of power.
Especially for Three-Tailed Jibatsu, this Tailed Beast might have the strongest defense among all of them.
In terms of defense alone, even the Nine-Tails couldn't compare.
The thick and sturdy carapace on its body was more reliable than any armor, and Water Style techniques, even B-rank ones like the Water Dragon Bullet, had little effect on it.
Of course, this was also due to the lack of penetration power in these Water Style techniques.
If it were the Water Style developed by the Second Hokage, there might have been a way to break through its defense.
Water Severing Wave! Its principle was similar to the 'Industrial Water Jet' from before the crossing, making it an unstoppable force.
Unfortunately, Elder Dong Ping's chakra attributes didn't include water, or he would have definitely pursued this path, and perfecting this technique would have made it capable of cutting through anything.
His Fire Style Sage Art, 'Amaterasu Blade', was inspired by this technique.
Therefore, in addition to its terrifyingly high temperature, it also had a cutting effect.
In summary, when developing ninjutsu or techniques, one could directly copy... I mean, take inspiration from the Second Hokage.
Can ninjas plagiarize?
It's called 'inspiration' and 'homage'.
The Mist Ninjas' Water Style techniques were impressive, but they lacked penetration power.
Even Mei Terumi's Melting Transformation: Monster Technique had little effect on the Three-Tailed Demon.
The thick carapace on its body blocked the corrosive effect of the acid.
Of course, if given enough time, the acid could break through the defense, but it would undoubtedly take a long while.
It could be said that if it were any other Tailed Beast, the attack might have interrupted its actions, but the Three-Tailed Demon could withstand the attack and still launch the Tailed Beast Ball.
At this moment, the silent Master Yuan Shi unleashed his power.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Bite Blast!"
He performed a Water Style technique that no one had ever heard of.
Whoosh!!
The drizzle from the sky and the water on the ground gathered together, forming a massive dragon-head-shaped vortex that enveloped the Three-Tailed Demon within.
It looked like a blue water dragon opening its mouth to bite down on the demon inside.
Kage Rank!
Elder Dong Ping immediately assessed the opponent's power in the instant they made their move.
But being a ninja was a profession that relied on youth, and for someone of their age to possess such terrifying power meant there would be a price to pay.
Elder Dong Ping was delighted by this prospect.
Master Yuan Shi was an old fox, and if they didn't die, it would hinder his plans. So, for the sake of his plans, the more miserable their opponent's fate, the better.
Boom!
The mountain-like dragon head swallowed the Three-Tailed Demon whole.
S-Rank!
The ninjutsu was likely around A-rank, but with the assistance of natural forces, its power was enhanced.
It was similar to the Kirin's Lightning Style.
Without the aid of natural forces, its power might have been ordinary.
But with the boost from nature, the power underwent a massive transformation, becoming an S-rank forbidden technique.
This Water Dragon Bite Blast's power was amplified by the unique environment, making it so terrifying, not because Master Yuan Shi's strength had reached such a level.
Drizzle!
Countless raindrops fell from the sky, and the Three-Tailed Demon, engulfed by the water, reappeared in everyone's field of vision.
Unscathed?
At least, it appeared so.
The thick carapace on its body showed no signs of damage or wounds.
But those with keen eyesight could tell that the Water Dragon Bite Blast had indeed caused harm.
The transformed areas were a testament to its power.
The destructive force of the Water Dragon Bite Blast did not rely on impact or cutting power, but on 'deep pressure'.
It was like the terrifying pressure one would experience at the bottom of the ocean.
Even steel battleships would be crushed by the immense water pressure at depths of over a thousand meters.
The Three-Tails' unique structure, designed to withstand deep-sea pressure, was the only reason it remained unharmed.
Other Tailed Beasts would not have fared so well.
However, this S-rank Water Style technique achieved its goal.
Interrupt the Tailed Beast Ball!
The Three-Tails' preparation for the Tailed Beast Ball was interrupted by the Water Dragon Bite Blast.
Gathering Yin and Yang Chakra is not easy for Tailed Beasts either; it's not as simple as spitting, so when interrupted, the Three-Tails immediately started wreaking havoc.
Boom!
The ground was shattered by its tail, creating a massive crater with traces of blood below.
Several Mist Ninjas were reduced to minced meat, leaving no trace of their bodies.
Terrifying!
The fear of Tailed Beasts lies in their sheer power.
A single casual attack from them is an unstoppable disaster for ninjas.
With their high defense, they are immune to most ninja attacks, and even if injured, their powerful regenerative abilities ensure a quick recovery.
It's no wonder they are the ultimate force in Ninja Villages when all these advantages are combined.
Of course, they do have weaknesses.
Wood Style, Illusion Techniques, Sealing Jutsu, and more are extremely effective against Tailed Beasts.
But these techniques don't always work; they require a certain level of mastery.
For example, Yuuhi Kurenai, an expert in Illusion Techniques, has little effect on Tailed Beasts, while a Sharingan user like Uchiha Itachi can have a significant impact and even control them.
The difference is immense, even though they are only a fine line apart.
The Mist Ninjas rely on their Blood Limit to dominate, but being isolated overseas has its disadvantages, especially in terms of information exchange, which hinders the development of their ninjutsu.
The Three-Tails swung its three tails.
The Mist Ninjas naturally used ninjutsu and ninja tools to attack.
But they were mostly ineffective!
Against ordinary people, a 'human wave tactic' might work.
But against a Tailed Beast, it's useless; no matter how many ninjas, they would all kneel.
The Five Great Ninja Villages dominate not only because of their strength but also due to their Jinchuriki. With these war machines, they can easily overpower opponents without top-tier fighters, crushing them at will.
Buildings turned to rubble, and Mist Ninjas became meat paste!
Anyone struck by the tail was either killed or severely injured, with little chance of escaping unscathed.
Only elite Jonin specializing in Taijutsu could hope to survive, but there were none among the Mist Ninjas.
This made the feat of the Third Raikage, who fought the Ox-Demon for days and emerged victorious, all the more awe-inspiring.
The number of Mist Ninjas around Dong Ping and Hyuga Cangyue dwindled, eventually leaving none.
For the Mist Ninjas, the priority was to eliminate the Three-Tails, as the longer it took, the more severe the destruction would be.
Large areas had already been reduced to ruins, causing immense damage.
The only good news was the Three-Tails' poor mobility, contrasting its formidable defense.
If it had the speed of other Tailed Beasts, the Mist Village would have been annihilated after a few rounds.
Countless villagers were fleeing for their lives, wishing they had extra legs.
Facing such a catastrophic Tailed Beast, their only thought was to escape.
Although the battlefield was not extensive, even the slightest ripple could cause massive damage, especially since the Three-Tails' attacks could make the ground shake, toppling many buildings like an earthquake.
If this continued, even without expanding the battlefield, the Mist Village would be doomed. Yuan Shi and the others had to end the fight quickly; they couldn't rely on wearing down the Tailed Beast for victory.
