Chapter 655: Witch Ziyuan Requests to Join the Battle!
Chapter 655: Witch Ziyuan Requests to Join the Battle!
Ding! Ding!
A crisp bell sound suddenly rang out on the battlefield.
Under this sound, Naruto's movements slowed momentarily, giving Hinata the opportunity to create some distance.
"Who is it?"
Ino shouted.
She and the others were reluctant to intervene in a battle of this caliber, so they could only watch. Unexpectedly, someone else had taken action.
"Tsk, a group of people against two, how shameless!"
A female voice with a mocking tone echoed from a tree branch several meters away.
On the branch stood two figures wearing black uniforms and animal masks similar to the ANBU of Konoha. They had white hair and purple eyes.
The speaker was a slightly slender figure, obviously female, and she held a small bell in her hand.
"Who are you?"
Shikamaru blocked the others who wanted to intervene and asked.
"I'm just a passing Ultraman!"
The slender figure spoke in a peculiar tone, as if imitating something as she said these words.
If the Skyguard Tower's higher-ups were present, they would have realized that this was another person who had been brainwashed by Tong Ping's 'Gengyan Gengyu'.
Yes, these two were from the Skyguard Tower.
Naturally, with Tong Ping's group coming to Konoha, there would be more than just the few of them. They were just the surface team, and there were others specifically assigned to support them.
These people stayed on the flying ship without disembarking, thus avoiding Konoha's surveillance.
Indeed, these two were the remaining two of the Skyguard Tower's Four Little Tigers.
Ziyuan and Hozuki Suigetsu!
The two wore masks to avoid exposing their identities.
Even if Konoha suspected the Skyguard Tower's involvement, they would still need evidence to confront them.
Without evidence, even if they knew it would be disadvantageous, Konoha would have no choice but to confront the Skyguard Tower.
The bell that rang earlier was activated by Ziyuan using her 'Witch Power' instead of chakra.
Ziyuan, who was fourteen years old this year, was two years older than Naruto. Her spiritual power rivaled that of elite Jonin, and with her training in sealing techniques and witchcraft, she could be considered incredibly strong.
The key point was that when dealing with large targets, Tailed Beasts, or immortal evil targets, she was a natural counter.
Witch!
Her innate talent was purification and sealing, and Ziyuan's talent was inherited from the witches of the Land of the Dead.
As for Tong Ping's talent?
She didn't inherit any talent at all, and it was already good enough if she wasn't held back.
Tong Ping's talent was truly not remarkable. His strengths were his intellect and special blood, and these two things couldn't be inherited.
"Stop them!"
Shikamaru spoke up.
Having confirmed that they were enemies, he gave the order without hesitation.
The best choice would naturally be to retreat, but with Naruto in this state, they could only try their best to assist.
"I hope their blood tastes even more delicious!"
The robust figure, Hozuki Suigetsu, drew the giant sword on his back.
The giant sword in his hand was a replica of the Executioner's Sword, but the material was a special steel produced by the Skyguard Tower. It was far superior to the Executioner's Sword in terms of both durability and sharpness.
Moreover, it was infused with some chakra metal, ensuring smooth chakra circulation.
Ninja Tool!
This weapon could be considered a 'Ninja Tool'.
Compared to the real Executioner's Sword, it was only missing the 'blood-sucking recovery' ability, and it was an all-around superior weapon.
Suigetsu had borrowed a lot of money for this weapon, and even his friends' pocket money had been used up. Recently, he had been frantically completing missions to repay the debt.
In the core circle of the Skyguard Tower, as long as you are willing to work hard, what you lack is never the means to become stronger, but rather contribution points.
If it were any other ninja village, even with abundant wealth, they wouldn't be able to find reliable methods to become stronger.
This was the Skyguard Tower!
A fertile soil for strong individuals.
Just as Konoha was the cradle of geniuses, with a higher probability of producing strong individuals than the other major ninja villages, it was because of this kind of soil.
Now, the Skyguard Tower was producing strong individuals at a rate far surpassing Konoha.
Just like Suigetsu at this moment.
Bang! Bang!
He slammed his giant sword like a war hammer, shattering Sasuke's replacement technique and the tree behind him.
It was a 'smash', not a 'slash'.
Although Suigetsu's giant sword had a sharp edge, upon closer inspection, one would discover that it wasn't even sharpened.
It could be said that the true attack method was 'smashing' rather than 'slashing'.
The reason for this was that Suigetsu had a technique.
'Great Water Arm Technique!'
A somewhat niche B-rank Water Style.
The effect is to enhance the strength of one's own arms.
By using this technique, combined with Mizuki's special large blade, one can instantly achieve a powerful effect.
Even steel cannot withstand its strike.
The defense-breaking effect is off the charts!
Ordinary defenses are practically useless against such an attack.
None of the Leaf Village Twelve Little Strongs dared to directly face Mizuki's attacks. They all used Substitution Techniques or dodged, then occasionally used Shadow Secret Techniques and the Heart Transfer Body Technique to try to control Mizuki, who was like a war god.
As for Ziyun?
Of course, she was dealing with the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki state.
In this state, he was already quite dangerous.
It's not that the Uzumaki Bloodline is so weak that it can't withstand even the Two-Tails.
It's just that Naruto's body hasn't been cultivated with resources like various secret potions, training, and other developmental methods.
He can't even eat enough, and his natural talent is directly wasted.
If he had been trained and developed from a young age, it might not have been a problem even with the Five-Tails.
"Witchcraft: Purifying Dance of the Gods!"
Ziyun gently shook her bell, and her whole body began to dance as she cast her witchcraft.
A power targeting the soul began to invade Naruto's mind through the medium of sound.
The faint white light seemed to fall like snowflakes, making Ziyun's dance appear ethereal and sacred.
Aside from the high beauty standards required of witches, their sense of aesthetics is also of a high standard.
And within Naruto...
The Nine-Tails, locked within the huge vermilion iron-barred gate, was furious at this moment.
"Damn brat!"
This power had little effect on ordinary ninjas, but for the Tailed Beast, it was extremely restraining.
It was like the Sharingan, Wood Style, and Sealing Techniques, which had a 1 effect on ordinary people, but for the Tailed Beasts, the effect was 10 or more.
Gurgle!
The Nine-Tails, in its anger, also desperately output more chakra, wanting to free Naruto from control and kill the target that made it so furious.
Unfortunately, the sealing effect and Naruto's body's limit were right there, preventing it from instantly outputting too much chakra.
Hinata wasn't foolish enough to attack at this moment; instead, she protected Ziyun by her side.
Among the ninjas, aside from Prince Naruto, Rock Lee, Gai, and the like, who had some issues with their combat IQ, everyone else's combat IQ was quite good, and they knew what they should do.
At this moment, it was clear that Ziyun was going to control Naruto, and Hinata's IQ would have to be in the water to attack and interrupt, so protecting Ziyun was the best choice.
Even without an introduction, Hinata was able to confirm the identity of their ally from the other party's words and actions.
Soon, as Ziyun finished her dance, the red Tailed Beast cloak on Naruto's body disappeared, and his whole body went limp and fell.
"Naruto!"
Sakura, who had been paying attention all along, was the first to rush forward to protect him.
And Ziyun had no intention of taking advantage of the situation to attack. She glanced at Hinata and said, "Let's go!"
If they didn't leave now, the Leaf Village pursuers would arrive soon.
At the same time, her words also indicated that the Flying Ship had received the message of their departure.
Once they boarded the Flying Ship, it was equivalent to escaping from the Leaf Village. The efficiency was far less than that of the Uchiha Clan's Night of Extinction, so the time spent was so little.
Moreover, her Witch Power consumption was too great. To soothe the 'Big Fox' and make it fall asleep, she almost had her energy drained. Standing now was already her limit, so she was in a hurry to leave.
Hinata took one last look at the Nine Little Strongs and then turned to say, "Let's go!"
"Let's go!"
The two of them leaped away.
As the others wanted to stop them...
"Water Style: Water Surge!"
Mizuki sheathed his sword and quickly performed this Water Style.
Whoosh!
A surge of water appeared out of thin air and swept through, forcing the Nine Little Strongs to only focus on self-preservation by climbing up trees.
"I hope next time I can have more fun!"
Mizuki directly dove into the water and left.
Don't be fooled by his cool departure; without the Water Transformation Technique, he might not even know how many times he had died.
With Shikamaru's command and the cooperation of the others, their combat power was truly formidable.
The Hyuga Clan Branches fighting nearby also began to retreat at full speed.
Thus, the pursuit battle came to an end.
