Blood flowed from his arm as he closed his eyes while fighting against Yasumasu.
Was Yasuke really crazy?
Was he really planning to give up and die under Yasumasu's blade?
Of course not!
Yasuke closed his eyes because he had seen through the essence of the Hidden Mist Technique!
The Hidden Mist Technique was just a low-level ninjutsu.
When ordinary Mist Ninja used the Hidden Mist Technique, the effect was just creating some dense fog to obscure others' vision. Only masters like Yasumasu or the original character Zabuza, who were proficient in the Hidden Mist Technique, could fully display its effects. The fog created by their technique was far denser than that created by ordinary ninjas.
Coupled with the terrifying Silent Killing Technique, the true power of the Hidden Mist Technique was revealed.
But what if there was no Silent Killing Technique?
The Hidden Mist Technique was just a low-level ninjutsu that blocked vision and perception.
In the previous battle, Yasuke was undoubtedly affected by the Silent Killing Technique, his mind filled with thoughts of how to avoid Yasumasu's next attack.
What to do when you can't see the surroundings?
Where will Yasumasu's next attack come from?
Restless thoughts and numerous questions filled Yasuke's mind, undoubtedly distracting him. So, when Yasuke understood the essence of the Hidden Mist Technique, he closed his eyes and used the Fourth Hokage's secret wind-sensing technique to sense his surroundings and counter Yasumasu's Hidden Mist Technique!
At that moment, Yasuke's thought was simple:
"If I can't see, I won't look!"
"Instead of using my eyes and being constantly filled with fear, I'll close my eyes and forget fear!"
"I'll use my heart to sense my surroundings!"
"I don't believe that with the Fourth Hokage's secret technique, I can't break a Silent Killing Technique and a small Hidden Mist Technique!"
"Snap!"
With that thought, Yasuke closed his eyes, blocking out the fear around him and neutralizing Yasumasu's mental attack.
Because the true essence of the Hidden Mist Technique combined with the Silent Killing Technique was to create psychological pressure.
Just like Yasuke had thought earlier, in a state of numerous distracting thoughts, a person couldn't focus on sensing their surroundings. So, often some sensory ninjas, although able to sense the Silent Killing Technique user's movements, couldn't use their sensing skills due to psychological pressure and ended up dying at the hands of the Silent Killing Technique user.
But as soon as Yasuke closed his eyes, he felt the "wind" condensing bit by bit, expanding his sensing range!
The Fourth Hokage's secret sensing method was perfectly used by Yasuke the moment he closed his eyes.
However, Yasuke closing his eyes made Yasumasu sneer!
"So, it's to focus attention!"
"But do you think focusing will break my Silent Killing Technique?"
"Don't underestimate the Mist Ninja's secret techniques! And don't underestimate my strength, Yasumasu!"
"Die!"
"Whoosh!"
Sounds came from all directions. Even Kakashi couldn't determine Yasumasu's position based on the sound, let alone Yasuke.
Moreover, simply closing eyes and focusing attention wasn't using any secret technique to break the Hidden Mist Technique. Why should Yasumasu feel pressured?
So next, with Yasumasu's voice echoing, his figure disappeared into the fog again.
In the next moment, Yasumasu, getting closer to Yasuke, wore a cold smile!
Holding the sword as he usually practiced.
Yasumasu didn't hesitate, and as soon as Yasuke's mind focused, he struck down!
"Swish!"
Red blood appeared again, and another wound appeared on Yasuke's chest, narrowly avoiding Yasumasu's attack.
But at that moment, Yasuke's barely avoiding the attack made Yasumasu's smile grow wider.
Because with one round of attack, Yasumasu saw that Yasuke hadn't improved at all.
Since there was no improvement, then die!
Then, under a cruel smile, a storm of attacks began!
As Yasumasu quickened his pace, using the Silent Killing Technique, Yasuke's body was covered with more and more wounds, almost confirming Yasumasu's victory.
However, Yasumasu didn't notice that under his intensified attacks, Yasuke indeed had more wounds, but those wounds, deep enough to see the bone, gradually turned into flesh wounds, and then into skin wounds, decreasing in severity.
In other words.
Without Yasumasu noticing, Yasuke was making progress bit by bit!
Moreover, as he progressed, Yasuke suddenly entered a profound state of understanding!
"That's the wind!"
"I can feel the presence of wind! And the wind is getting stronger bit by bit!"
"There's wind moving to the left!"
"And wind moving to the right!"
"That's right, that's the essence of the Fourth Hokage's secret sensing method! That's the true meaning of 'wind'!"
"Boom!"
In that profound understanding, suddenly Yasuke's chakra flow speed increased dramatically, something Yasumasu didn't notice.
Then, just as Yasumasu, with a faint smile, used the Silent Killing Technique again, intending to end Yasuke's life, suddenly, there was a "snap"!
The seemingly dazed Yasuke, at the moment Yasumasu attacked, not only dodged the sharp blade but also wore a faint smile. Yasumasu suddenly heard Yasuke murmuring in his ear:
"Yasumasu, your next attack will come from behind, right?"
"What?"
Hearing Yasuke's faint voice, Yasumasu's pupils suddenly shrank!
How could he predict my attack plan?
How could he see through my Silent Killing Technique?
In an instant, with pupils slightly constricted, Yasumasu's mind was filled with endless distracting thoughts, unconsciously launching the next attack from behind Yasuke, as predicted.
And Yasuke, at the moment Yasumasu attacked, gripped a kunai!
Next, thin chakra attached to the sharp kunai. Under Yasuke's faint smile, another splash of blood hit the ground!
But this time, it wasn't Yasuke's blood, but Yasumasu's!
Despite using the Water Transformation Technique, a secret technique of the Yasumasu clan, Yasuke's kunai still left a deep wound on his arm!
And that wound wasn't what terrified Yasumasu the most!
The most unbelievable thing for Yasumasu was what Yasuke said after injuring him for the first time:
"Yasumasu, I've seen through your attack pattern!"
"Prepare to face your fate!"
"Whoosh!"
As soon as Yasuke finished speaking, an invisible force enveloped Yasumasu, making the dignified Mist Ninja Jonin momentarily dazed!
While Yasumasu was momentarily dazed, Yasuke remained calm!
And under Yasuke's calm expression, the ultimate change of wind attribute chakra was revealed on Yasuke's kunai!
"Breaking through feels great!"
"Wind attribute chakra nature change"
"Complete!"
