Chapter 5: The Deadly Attack of the Four Kage
Chapter 5: The Deadly Attack of the Four Kage
Even as enemies, the Five Kage, standing at the pinnacle of the ninja world, couldn't help but marvel at Yuyi Xuan Yue's talent. Indeed, he was worthy of being called the strongest of the Yuyi clan in a millennium.
As the person in question, Yuyi Xuan Yue was not very satisfied with this.
The foundation of ninjutsu lay in the nature transformation and shape transformation of the seven chakra natures.
From the very beginning, Yuyi Xuan Yue's purpose in cultivating was clear.
It was not to master a bloodline limit but to go a step further and acquire the power of the "Web."
This was the Bloodline Net, formed by the fusion of the seven nature transformations—Fire, Wind, Earth, Water, Lightning, Yin, and Yang—surpassing both bloodline limits and bloodline rejections.
Not all beings at the Six Paths level possessed the Bloodline Net, but those who did were undoubtedly among the strongest at that level.
The Otsutsuki clan, including Hagoromo and Hamura Otsutsuki, were known to have this power.
As a ninja, Yuyi Xuan Yue naturally aspired to attain the Six Paths level.
Not only would this allow him to dominate the ninja world without hindrance, but it also meant achieving longevity.
Having been reborn, he certainly did not want to return to the earth after a mere hundred years.
However, while the Yuyi clan had a long and illustrious heritage, tracing its roots back to the era of Ninshu, and even having some connection to the legendary Sage of Six Paths, their bloodline had long since thinned. It was impossible for them to rely on bloodline advantages to ascend to the Six Paths level like the Otsutsuki clan.
As for the other method, becoming the jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails and ascending to the Six Paths level, Yuyi Xuan Yue steered clear of that path. Ever since learning about Kaguya Otsutsuki consuming the fruit of the Divine Tree and becoming one with the Ten-Tails, he had been wary of meeting the same fate as the first Otsutsuki, who had laughed maniacally.
Aside from these two paths, the only option left was to diligently pursue the way of the Bloodline Net, thoroughly studying and perfectly fusing the seven chakra nature transformations.
In the ninja world, there were indeed individuals who had mastered all seven chakra natures, such as Kakashi Hatake.
However, no one had ever thoroughly understood and perfectly fused all seven chakra nature transformations.
Ever since his reincarnation, or perhaps due to being reborn, Yuyi Xuan Yue, known from a young age as a child prodigy among ninjas, found that his affinity for chakra was exceptionally smooth.
In a short period, he had awakened all seven chakra nature transformations.
But going deeper, especially in perfectly fusing the seven chakra nature transformations, even with his outstanding talent, he felt an immense difficulty.
Nevertheless, even though he had not completed the Bloodline Net, Yuyi Xuan Yue had, in the process of experimenting with various combinations, inadvertently developed several bloodline limits, which only required the fusion of two chakra nature transformations instead of seven.
This was how he had gained his current reputation of being on par with the gods.
"It's a pity that, in the end, I'm not a true god. Even the current God of the Ninja World cannot be considered one."
On the undulating water surface, Yuyi Xuan Yue watched as the Four Kage used their respective means to break through his Water Release technique, and he shook his head regretfully.
He needed more time, but it seemed he wouldn't have enough.
"Perhaps, it's time to prepare a backup plan."
Yuyi Xuan Yue glanced once more at the distant figure beyond the battlefield, a conspicuous white-haired man with his arms crossed, gazing at this very spot. Before the man could sense his gaze, Yuyi Xuan Yue quickly averted his eyes.
[Please complete the new mission as soon as possible.]
Once again, the cold, impersonal reminder of the system sounded in his mind.
"Useless system!"
Yuyi Xuan Yue cursed out of habit, ignoring the malfunctioning system, and refocused his attention on the battlefield.
Yuyi Xuan Yue shook his head and once again performed a one-handed seal.
"Water Style: White Whale of the Ice!"
A long, mournful cry reverberated through the sky.
As the Four Kage watched in awe, a colossal ice whale of indescribable size leaped out of the water, sending waves crashing and blocking out the sky as it plummeted towards them.
The next second—
BOOM!!!
The earth shook and mountains trembled.
A surging, tangible blast of wind carried water and mud in all directions at incredible speed.
With a flick of his hand, Yuyi Xuan Yue dispersed the oncoming blast, his eyebrows furrowing involuntarily.
As the caster of the technique, he could sense the state of his ninjutsu.
After the smoke cleared, he saw that on the most devastated patch of land, the Tsuchikage, Ishi, clad in the Tsuchikage's Haori, was using strength that didn't match his small stature to hold onto the ice whale, which was hundreds of times his size, as it descended from the heavens.
"Earth Style: Super Light-Heavy Rock Technique!"
Ishi, standing against a calamity with his lone power, bit his teeth as his initially short stature grew to match the gigantic ice whale. Slowly, inch by inch, he began to straighten his waist, and the ice whale above him visibly rose higher.
"Take it back!"
Ishi hurled the ice whale with tremendous force, sending it on an exaggerated arc back towards its original owner, Yuyi Xuan Yue.
"Stubborn old stone," Yuyi Xuan Yue muttered, his gaze shifting away from Ishi. He glanced at the massive ice whale that had been thrown back at him and performed hand seals once more. The ice whale cracked and shattered, transforming back into a vast ocean that he intended to use to block Ai and Redo, who were charging at him with fierce momentum.
Just as he was about to give the command, an external chakra force suddenly intruded, vying for control of the water with him.
"Bai Lian!" Yuyi Xuan Yue exclaimed, recognizing the presence.
Taking advantage of this gap, Ai and Redo managed to reach him.
"Again!"
Ai's chakra, comparable to that of a tailed beast, exploded, and his body was enveloped in even more chakra as he moved at high speed, his fist tightened, and he threw a powerful punch at Yuyi Xuan Yue.
Yuyi Xuan Yue didn't back down; instead, he employed Steel Style, and his right fist, blackened like tempered steel, met Ai's head-on.
CLANG!
A deafening clash of metal rang out.
Ai, with a physique comparable to a monster, showed no sign of being outdone by the Steel Style, and he only retreated a short distance, unscathed.
Yuyi Xuan Yue was also shaken back a few steps.
Just as he prepared to counter, a strange wind appeared abruptly at his side.
Before Yuyi Xuan Yue could examine it closely, a piercingly sharp edge appeared in the blink of an eye and threatened to pierce his eyeball.
While Steel Style could cover his entire body, it couldn't protect his eyes.
This was Redo, who had unsheathed his ninja sword and infused it with extremely sharp wind-attribute chakra, stabbing at Yuyi Xuan Yue with lightning speed.
But that wasn't all.
The pair of hands that had supported the ice whale earlier suddenly extended from below Yuyi Xuan Yue, grabbing his legs and immobilizing him.
Bai Lian, at some point, had appeared at Yuyi Xuan Yue's side, and with her hands outstretched, she swiftly formed a Water Style prison technique befitting of a Water Shadow.
Even if Yuyi Xuan Yue successfully defended against Redo's assassination attempt, he couldn't escape the captive cage she had crafted specifically for him.
Everything happened too fast.
In the blink of an eye, with the tacit understanding between the Four Kage, they presented Yuyi Xuan Yue with their deadly attack.
