Chapter 660: Large Summoned Beast: Chiyasui!
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Dozens of Mizu attacked in various forms.
"Be careful!"
Danzou warned the others while performing hand seals to cast a jutsu.
"Wind Style: Vacuum Bullet!"
His mouth spewed wind-style chakra like a machine gun, firing bullet-like projectiles.
The barrage of attacks directly covered an area in front of him, taking out over ten Mizu, but just like the previous Vacuum Wave, it was useless.
Because these were all illusions.
Two illusions approached Yamayama Kaze.
As a perception-type ninja, he confirmed that they were illusions and subconsciously continued searching for the real Mizu.
"Careful!"
Danzou suddenly shouted a warning.
But before Yamayama Kaze could react, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.
The illusion on his left had turned real, and the ninja sword in its hand pierced through his heart.
An Elite Jonin! He was an elite Jonin, born into the Yamayama clan, with innate talent and ample resources. His combat strength was not to be underestimated, and he could even hold his own against a Kage-level opponent for some time.
But now?
Against Mizu, it was an instant kill.
"Heart Turn Technique!"
In his final moments, Yamayama Kaze mustered all his strength to perform this secret technique, hoping to create an opportunity for the others to attack.
The cooperation of the Root Division was unquestionable.
Over a dozen Root Ninjas immediately sealed off the surrounding space, not giving Mizu a chance to create distance.
"Secret Technique: Poison Dust!"
Oil Maiden Root was quick to use this secret technique, unleashing nanobot toxins that engulfed both Yamayama Kaze and the Mizu in front of him.
However, the nanobot swarm only covered Yamayama Kaze's corpse.
Mizu?
Sorry, just an illusion.
This was the power of the Uchiha!
A display of both coolness and awe.
"How much more blood can the Root Division afford to lose?"
Mizu slowly walked out of the encirclement, holding the bloody ninja sword.
At this moment, her eyes had returned to the normal three tomoe state from the Sharingan.
Indeed, she had easily taken out Yamayama Kaze by momentarily entering the Sharingan state, which gave him a genjutsu suggestion to ignore her illusions, thus creating this opportunity.
As a result, the consumption of her Sharingan power was minimal, but the effect was surprisingly good.
It can be said that this is the true way to utilize the Sharingan.
Dai-kudo excelled in this aspect, never using the Sharingan in normal times and only employing it at critical moments. Thus, after activating the Sharingan, he could sustain it for years, even amidst continuous battles.
The worst performer in this regard was naturally the original story's Nidaime, who went blind within a few days of activating the Sharingan.
It was a terrible waste!
Mizu's early exposure to the Sharingan not only allowed her to adapt to its power but also enabled her to better control it in the future.
Geniuses are truly geniuses!
After having a chance to showcase her abilities, Mizu demonstrated the difference between a genius and an ordinary person to Danzou and the Root Division.
Even against opponents like Danzou and the Root Division, they were played with like puppets.
A show of skill!
She, like Shizuru and Dai-kudo, followed this path.
Only a genius among geniuses could walk this path.
If Nidaime had tried to follow this path, it would have been a disaster.
Watching Mizu's battle was a pure spectacle.
It was no less exciting than a thrilling fight!
Of course, while the battle here was intense, the fight between Yamagawa Houji and the Root Blade-enhanced ninjas nearby was even more exhilarating.
A true hand-to-hand combat spectacle!
It was like a fighting game, stirring blood with every punch and kick, a different style from Mizu's flashy combat.
Boom!
Yamagawa Houji casually struck the modified ninja in front of him, sending them flying.
With the power armor, he stood at two and a half meters tall, resembling a small giant.
However, these Root Blade-enhanced ninjas were about three meters tall, directly overpowering him in terms of size.
But during the fight, it was the shorter Yamagawa Houji who dominated.
The sixth gate of the Eight Trigram Palms Rotation transformed Yamagawa Houji into a humanoid Gundam.
The raging chakra prevented him from using ninjutsu, but he didn't need them anyway.
His casual strikes packed the power of B-rank ninjutsu, and his full-power attacks started at A-rank.
With such terrifying attacks, ninjutsu was unnecessary.
"Earth Shattering Punch!"
Perhaps feeling that his consecutive attacks were too slow, Yamagawa Houji unleashed a full-power punch into the ground in front of him, seemingly venting his frustration.
Crack!
With this all-out strike, the earth before him shattered like a cookie, spreading out and devouring the modified ninjas in the fan-shaped area ahead.
This technique has limited effectiveness against ninjas.
With the speed and agility of ninjas, they could easily use teleportation to escape after seeing the ground shatter.
However, these modified humans were slow and unresponsive, lacking the ability to react in time. They were swallowed by the earth, with no chance of escape.
As soon as they became aware of these individuals, the Tenshukaku had already devised numerous countermeasures.
Currently, Yamagawa Houji is merely employing one of those methods.
Ever since Danzou acquired the 'Root Blade,' he became arrogant, not considering anyone else's opinions.
His bold attempt to assassinate the injured Tong Ping was only possible due to the courage instilled by this Root Blade squad.
After all, the Root Division ninjas numbered over a hundred, mostly Chunin and Genin, with only a handful of Jonin among them.
However, within the Root Blade, there were hundreds of modified humans, each possessing abilities equivalent to special Jonin-level Taijutsu experts. This gave them an overwhelming advantage.
But!
Today's battle revealed to Danzou that against top-tier opponents, the Root Blade with its evident flaws was nothing more than cannon fodder, easily disposable in large numbers.
Yamagawa Houji's 'Earth Shattering Punch' instantly buried over a hundred of them, and combined with previous casualties, their losses exceeded half their numbers.
"I hope you'll give me a little more time to enjoy this!"
Yamagawa Houji's eyes gleamed with ferocity as he looked at the remaining Root Blade squad of modified humans.
Danzou... was too arrogant.
From start to finish, he only considered the injury of Tong Ping, believing this was a rare assassination opportunity, completely disregarding Yamagawa Houji and Mizu.
Perhaps, in his eyes, these two would not pose much of a challenge.
According to previous intelligence, one was an elite Jonin, and the other was a Taijutsu expert of Kage rank, which seemed insignificant compared to his current lineup.
Unexpectedly, the elite Jonin in the intelligence report turned out to be Kage-level from the start, and the original Kage-level expert demonstrated abilities that were not inferior to those of a powerful Kage.
This miscalculation resulted in the assassination attempt's complete failure.
They couldn't even get close to the injured Tong Ping.
Danzou's eyes flashed with a deep light as he observed the young boy who had been watching from a distance.
Although he had sufficient confidence in this assassination attempt, as a Shadow of the Ninja, he naturally wouldn't risk everything.
If he failed, it would be an excellent test.
He had prepared a larger plan for later. Yes, for Danzou, this assassination attempt was considered a success as long as it was initiated, regardless of the outcome.
Suddenly, Mizu bit her finger and formed hand seals.
"Summoning Technique!"
Bang! A white mist covered a large area.
When the mist cleared, a massive three-legged crow appeared on the battlefield.
Its height alone was several dozen meters, not much shorter than large summoned beasts like Bunta.
Note that this was its folded-wing state! If it were in its fully extended wing state, its size would appear even more impressive, making it a summoned beast of a different caliber.
"Chiyasui, use Flame Arrow!"
Mizu's command rang out.
Croak!
This three-legged crow, Chiyasui, spread its wings.
Whoosh!
A massive rocket burst from the crow's beak, flying towards the distant Oil Maiden Root and Danzou.
Compared to this crow named Chiyasui, the flame-shaped arrow was minuscule, but it was enormous in comparison to a human.
Several meters thick and over a dozen meters long! The giant flame arrow descended.
Whoosh!!
A towering pillar of fire devoured everything in its path.
A dazzling light illuminated the barrier.
Fortunately, the Tetra Purple Flame Barrier and another layer of the barrier shielded the light and sound, preventing the entire Konoha Village from being alerted.
"Lady Mizu, I'll take my leave now!"
Chiyasui spoke in a young man's voice before releasing the summoning.
It wasn't that it couldn't continue fighting, but Mizu's chakra couldn't sustain it for long, and the Flame Arrow consumed too much.
Bang!
In the white mist, Chiyasui disappeared.
Mizu, of course, was no longer in the same spot.
The previous attack was merely a diversion to cover her movements.
Thud!
Mizu's Water Sword pierced Danzou's heart as he dodged the flame.
