The essence of ninjutsu is the use of chakra's nature changes and form changes. Then the ninjutsu formed by chakra, no matter what it becomes because of nature changes or form changes, its essence is still chakra.
Just as the human body has various chakra acupuncture points, these acupuncture points are the key to allowing chakra to flow freely in the human body. There are also similar nodes in ninjutsu that supply the flow of chakra, which are very small but do indeed exist.
This is what the White Zetsu clone, who had now taken on the form of the nameless warrior, discovered after using Wood Release chakra to open the high-purity Byakugan on his body and then observing ninjutsu.
Acupressure is a technique that combines Gentle Fist with Byakugan. It is used to block the chakra lines and acupressure points in the human body, thereby disrupting the normal chakra flow in the body and ultimately blocking the enemy's use of chakra.
When Kirito thought of the ability of acupressure, he began to associate it with the idea that if he destroyed a certain node of chakra flow in a ninjutsu technique, he could disrupt the chakra flow of the ninjutsu and ultimately destroy it.
He did just that. He used the famous blade forged from Chakra metal in his hands as a substitute for Gentle Fist, covered it in Chakra, and with the power of Byakugan, he precisely stabbed the Chakra nodes released by the enemy's Yin Release Chakra Jutsu.
The result was obvious. The Yin Release Jutsu released by the ninja from the Yamanaka clan in front of him was directly destroyed, and it reverted back to pure, non-offensive Chakra.
In the end, he felt only a cold, light wind blowing quickly over his body.
"Destroying the structure of the jutsu by attacking its weak points, causing it to fail. This is the true way to use Byakugan and the Gentle Fist of Acupressure. However, Byakugan requires extremely strong Byakugan power to see through the nodes of chakra flow in a jutsu. I was only able to do this by strengthening Byakugan with the power of Wood Release. With the current Byakugan of the Hyuga clan of Konoha, it is already considered good to be able to see clearly the chakra points of the human body. Perhaps someone from the Hyuga clan during the Warring States period could do this."
Kirito used the power of Byakugan to slow down the destruction of his enemy's jutsu several times to observe it, musing to himself.
Then, he quickly turned around and swung his famous sword, slashing at a huge fist with a knuckle guard on it.
"Clang!"
A loud crash sounded.
A strong gust of wind followed.
A tremendous force instantly passed through the famous sword, but the body of the White Zetsu clone was as unmoving as an old tree's roots, not retreating even an inch, and even faintly pushing back.
At this moment, he had already used an improved version of the Akamichi Secret Technique to use Yang Release Chakra to strengthen the power in his arms, making his power completely on par with his enemy.
Yang Release is one of the natures of Chakra that the White Zetsu clone is best at, and its level is second only to Water Release, reaching level 3.
What's more, the Yang Release Chakra born within the White Zetsu clone's body is not ordinary Yang Release Chakra, but Yang Release Chakra containing Asura Chakra born from Hashirama's cells, and its effect is far stronger than ordinary Yang Release Chakra.
"Hurry up and kill him, this guy's got a lot of power."
At the same time, the Root ninja who had used the Akamichi Secret Technique felt a huge pressure and couldn't help but shout out.
As soon as the words fell, sharp shadow spikes materialized from behind Kirito and sped towards him.
At the same time, a huge air slash also came.
Ninpo: Shadow Stitching Jutsu!
Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!
"That was really scary,"
Kirito said expressionlessly.
The next moment, the famous blade in his hand suddenly turned red as it was covered in chakra, and a blazing inferno suddenly appeared. He forced back the huge fist in front of him that was burning fiercely, and then spun around rapidly.
A huge vortex of flames suddenly appeared with Kirito at its center.
Sword Technique: Fire Dance!
For a moment, everything, from the sharp shadow spikes to the huge air slashes, and even the large number of parasites that were quietly attacking from the ground, was incinerated by the high-temperature flames.
Suddenly, a huge wind pressure appeared.
The Root elites of the five Skull Squad teams immediately saw that the Chakra covering the famous sword in the hands of the mysterious warrior in front of them had turned into Wind Release Chakra.
He inserted the katana into the ground, and a violent gust of wind suddenly appeared, whirling in all directions.
The terrifying wind pressure blew many of the surrounding large trees to the ground.
Sword Technique: Wind Pressure Sword: Reverse!
The wind intensified the flames.
The fire vortex instantly grew larger, forming a high-temperature fire wave that quickly spread in all directions with the air current, burning everything around it to ashes.
During the process, the fire wave touched the rain falling from the sky, forming a large amount of hot water vapor.
The five Root elites retreated decisively and quickly, but they were still touched by the scorching hot water vapor that followed the wind behind them, and they immediately felt a burning pain in their backs. Then their scalps went numb as they desperately avoided the rapidly approaching fire wave.
The Root Elite using the Akamichi Secret Technique was the slowest, and was accidentally caught up in the fire wave, instantly burning him and causing him to scream in agony.
At the critical moment of life and death, the Root Elite using the Akamichi Secret Technique, code-named Gluttony, did not hesitate to use his strongest trump card.
He swallowed a red Akido secret medicine called the chili pill, and then folded his hands together.
A terrifying wave of chakra instantly erupted from his body, continuously forming a wave of air that blew the flames off his body and knocked back the approaching sea of flames.
Then, a pair of huge and beautiful chakra butterfly wings grew out from behind Gluttony, and the person's originally chubby figure suddenly became slim.
Akamichi Secret Technique: Butterfly Transformation!
"The Akamichi Clan's secret medicine and the Butterfly Transformation Secret Technique? What an amazing increase! Chakra has suddenly increased more than ten times its original amount, and has already reached a stable amount of kage-level chakra. However, the body simply cannot withstand this amount of chakra, and forcibly maintaining it will only cause the body to explode. Therefore, the Butterfly Transformation Secret Technique is used to quickly consume this sudden increase in chakra.
Although due to his lack of control over his own chakra, the use of it is still very rough and inefficient, it is barely acceptable."
Kirito used his Byakugan to clearly observe the changes in the chakra in the body of the glutton and commented in a calm tone.
Kirito's calm tone made the glutton, whose strength had suddenly increased, very unhappy. After taking the chili pill and using the Butterfly Transformation Secret Technique, he felt that he was comparable to a Kage-Level powerhouse, but the samurai in front of him actually dared to be so calm.
This was really overconfident.
"Die!"
Gluttony roared, then with a forceful kick, he charged at Kirito, who was still protected by the fire vortex.
An aural blast ensued.
At that moment, Gluttony's speed had already broken the speed of sound, and in the eyes of ordinary people, he was completely impossible to capture with the naked eye.
However, he was now facing Kirito, who had Byakugan.
A speed that broke the speed of sound.
It was nothing.
Gluttony suddenly appeared above Kirito's head, and then combined with the technique of multiplying, he punched Kirito from top to bottom.
The next moment, the ground shook, large cracks appeared, and a huge fist mark appeared on the ground where Kirito was standing. The huge vortex of flames was also scattered by his punch.
Gluttony looked at the damage he had caused and his face did not look good at all, because he did not feel the familiar impact from his fist. He did not feel the slightest bit of the satisfying blow of a punch to the human body, which made his heart sink to the bottom.
"Not bad, but not fast enough,"
Kirito's voice came from behind Gluttony.
Upon hearing this, Glutton immediately swung his other hand behind him using the doubling technique, but all he touched was some water, just like before.
He turned around and saw Kirito quickly emerge from the puddles on the ground not far away.
"Water shunshin technique!"
Glutton instantly realized what method Kirito was using to avoid his attacks when he saw this.
However, the opponent's Water Release: Water Shunshin Technique was released too quickly. Didn't he need to form any seals?
And he was obviously a samurai, so why would a samurai have such a powerful shunshin technique?
With my current abilities, do I even have a chance of hitting him?
As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Gluttony couldn't help but doubt his current strength.
"Calm down. Let's hold him off while you find a chance to kill him."
The next second, the voice of Chaos suddenly sounded in Gluttony's mind.
This was the mind-to-body technique of Chaos.
"I understand, please help."
Gluttony heard the voice of Chaos and quickly calmed down, replying.
Yes, he still had teammates, and he still had a chance to hit the enemy in front of him.
He didn't believe that the opponent could continuously release the water shunshin technique without a trace.
There would definitely be a chance.
As long as his companions forced him to use the water shunshin technique, he would have a chance to hit the opponent.
He only needs one strike, and with his current strength, he is confident that he can turn the other party into minced meat with one strike.
With the 360-degree all-encompassing insight of his Byakugan, Kirito has discovered that the other four members of the Skull Squad have already cooperated with Gluttony to surround him, and the Aburame ninja, who fights through the use of parasites, has already quietly launched an attack.
The dense parasites are moving rapidly underground and quickly covering his surroundings.
If he didn't have his Byakugan, he would have been surrounded by the parasites without knowing it, and would have ended up as food for these terrifying insects.
"Do it!"
Chaos said to the other four members of the squad at the same time, using the technique of mind transmission.
The Root elite, who specialized in using Wind Release and had the code name Gale, took a deep breath, causing his mouth and chest to rapidly expand, condensing a large amount of Wind Release Chakra. He quickly completed the hand seals, and blew out a large amount of enormous air waves, which shot towards Kirito at high speed.
Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Wave!
Kirito saw this and the famous sword in his hand was instantly covered in water-blue Water Release Chakra.
A torrent of water immediately appeared, wrapping around the blade.
A water dragon suddenly appeared. As soon as it appeared, all the accumulated water and rainwater on the ground around it was instantly swept up, causing it to rapidly expand in size and form a wave that engulfed all the incoming air and charged towards the wind with a ferocious wave.
The gust of wind hurriedly dodged, but he only avoided the bite of the water dragon, but was unable to avoid the subsequent waves of the roll, and the entire person was hit by the waves like steel, instantly suffering great damage and spitting out a large amount of blood in the current.
Sword Technique: Water Dragon Roar!
At this time, Chaos took advantage of the opportunity when the gust of wind distracted Kirito and quickly threw a flash bomb at him.
He no longer dared to casually use the Yin release secret arts of the Yamanaka clan against Kirito, especially the extremely dangerous secret art of Mind Body Switch. He didn't dare to gamble that Kirito could once again counter his Mind Body Disturbance technique as he had before. Once Mind Body Switch was countered, he might die immediately.
In this way, his role was to secretly allow his teammates to maintain contact without speaking, so that they could cooperate more tacitly.
Of course, there are also things he can do within his capabilities, which is to create opportunities for his teammates to control the enemy.
For example, he just threw a flash bomb.
The flash bomb detonated instantly while in motion, creating a terrifying bright light.
Under the strong light, Kirito's shadow quickly expanded.
Using the Nara Secret Technique, the Root Elite, codenamed Shadow, immediately extended its shadow quickly towards Kirito's shadow.
Ninpo: Shadow Imitation Jutsu!
Just as the shadow of the root elite was about to merge with Kirito's shadow, Kirito's shadow suddenly disappeared.
He once again unleashed the water shunshin technique without a seal, appearing more than ten meters away.
But as soon as he landed, a large number of yokai insects suddenly poured out of the ground beneath him, wrapping Kirito up and binding him, and crazily devouring the chakra on his body.
"Die!"
Gluttony saw this scene and knew that his chance had come. Once again, he appeared above Kirito in the blink of an eye through sheer physical strength, and used his huge fist from the Doubling Technique to pound Kirito and the parasites on him down.
"Dong!"
A terrifying sound like a pile driver piling appeared.
Once again, a huge fist mark appeared on the ground.
Learning from his last mistake, Gluttony immediately retreated after hitting the target.
However, this time, he had a smile on his face. He had just felt a clear sense of physical impact in his fist, so he should have successfully hit his enemy this time.
As a result, his enemy would be seriously injured if not killed.
Relying on the chaotic mind transmission technique, the other members of the Skull Squad all got the news that Gluttony had successfully hit Kirito, and a smile appeared on their faces.
But the next moment, the elite Root agent codenamed Gluttony, who used the Aburame Secret Technique, changed expression and exclaimed, "No good, we've fallen for a trap."
With the help of the vision of the parasite, he clearly saw that the mysterious warrior in the center of the huge fist print had been replaced by a wooden dummy.
Wood Release: Wood Clone!
After the end of the Nine-Tailed Inheritance operation, with Tsunade's authorization, Kirito finally had the opportunity to see the Wood Release jutsu in the Nawaki family's ninjutsu library.
The Wood Release chakra within the White Zetsu clone finally had a use.
This move, Wood Release: Wood Clone, is one of the Wood Release jutsu that Kirito has recently learned.
Like the shadow clone, Wood Clone is extremely deceptive, but its resistance to damage and combat effectiveness are much stronger than those of the shadow clone, and it cannot be destroyed by ordinary attacks.
During his last battle with Gluttony, when he used the water shunshin technique to avoid attacks, he secretly avoided the others' line of sight, split off a wooden clone to fight the enemy, and used the mayfly technique to hide in a large tree.
"Not bad, I had a lot of fun. Let me see what else you can do."
But the next moment, the voice that had always spoken in a calm tone suddenly appeared, sending a chill through the Skull Squad and the others.
When the voice appeared, Kirito slowly walked out of a nearby tree, coldly staring at the five members of the Skull Squad who were looking at him with deep-seated fear in their eyes.
These five Root elites in front of him were actually quite outstanding in strength, each possessing the strength of a jōnin. Among them, the Root elites who used the Wind Release, Aburame Secret Technique, and Akamichi Secret Technique even possessed the strength of elite jōnin, and their teamwork was also quite tacit.
If he hadn't had the help of Byakugan, he would have definitely been in a tough battle just relying on the strength of the Water Release used by the White Zetsu clone before.
It was because he had Byakugan that he was able to ignore the Root Elite who used the secret technique of the Yamanaka clan and not be ambushed and controlled by his secret technique of the Yamanaka clan.
Otherwise, if the opponent seized the opportunity to use the technique of Mind Body Disturbance on him once during the battle, and then faced the pincer attack of the other four, he would definitely have suffered greatly.
And the Root Elite who took the Akamichi Secret Medicine. If it weren't for Byakugan's assistance, he probably wouldn't have been able to see the opponent's movements clearly enough to use the Water Shunshin technique in time to dodge.
After the Root Ninja who used the Akamichi Secret Technique took the Akamichi Secret Medicine and used the Butterfly Secret Technique, his strength was infinitely close to that of a Shadow class ninja, and his movement speed was the fastest of any ninja he had ever encountered.
Unfortunately, his vaunted speed was suppressed by Byakugan.
In short, his first battle using Byakugan left a deep impression on him of its power.
After obtaining the power of Byakugan, the White Zetsu clone was able to easily deal with and even suppress five Root elites with the strength of jōnin who were well-coordinated.
Kirito estimated that the White Zetsu clone now had the initial strength of a kage class.
"The enemy is of unknown origin and extremely powerful. They also have a strange method of restraining my secret techniques from the Yamanaka Clan. I suggest immediate retreat. Our mission is not to assassinate this person."
Chaos saw that Kirito was still unharmed despite the cooperation of the five of them, and could not help but feel a desire to retreat. He used the technique of transmitting one's mind to communicate with the other four.
"Agreed."
"Yes, the mission that Lord Danzo entrusted to us has not yet been completed. We cannot die here."
Gluttony and Wind immediately seconded the motion.
Neither of them was in good shape right now. One was beginning to suffer the backlash of Akimoto's secret medicine, while the other had already sustained considerable injuries. If they continued to fight, they would likely be the first to die.
It wasn't that they were afraid of death, but they were unwilling to die for no reason at the hands of an unknown enemy before completing the mission that Danzo had assigned them.
"Then we'll scatter and retreat."
Seeing that three of them agreed, Shadow decisively proposed a retreat plan.
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned into a shadow and moved rapidly across the ground.
Gluttony was even faster than Shadow, and instantly turned into a ball of worms and disappeared, obviously leaving only a clone in his original location. His real body had long since left the battle.
The remaining three were not slow, and each used their own methods to retreat quickly.
Among them, Gluttony, who had used the secret technique of turning into a butterfly, actually flew up in the air, using the butterfly wings on his back to fly at high speed.
"They actually escaped."
Kirito watched the five retreating rapidly in five directions and sneered.
With Byakugan and the Spirit Transformation Technique, there was no way these people could escape from him. If they didn't flee and stayed to fight him together, they might have a chance of winning, but if they scattered and fled, they were dead.
The next moment, his gaze fell on the Root ninja running in last place, the elite Root user who had used the Yamanaka Secret Technique.
His strength has actually been preserved very well, but unfortunately, he is good at the family's secret technique of the mountains. Although he is a jōnin and also masters the transformation of another type of chakra nature, unfortunately, the other type of chakra nature he masters is Fire Release.
Fire Release ninjutsu has high explosive power and great damage, but its increase in movement speed is very mediocre, far inferior to Lightning Release and Wind Release.
Therefore, his speed is the slowest among the five.
"Damn it, he's looking at me,"
Kirito's gaze had just landed on Chaos, and Chaos immediately noticed it, cursing in his heart.
He quickly took out some steel wire and explosive tags from his ninjutsu bag, quickly creating some simple and hidden traps on the way to escape, hoping to delay Kirito's pursuit.
However, all his small actions fell into Kirito's eyes.
"The Byakugan's ability to see through is really unreasonable. No wonder the Hyuga clan's status in Konoha remains as stable as a mountain even though there is no one in the upper echelons. This kind of strategic-level Bloodline Limit is simply a nightmare for the enemy,"
Kirito sighed.
At the same time, a large amount of blue and white electric current was wrapped around his body, his hair quickly standing on end, before he assumed a drawing-a-sword posture and exhaled a puff of hot air slowly.
With Kirito's understanding of Lightning Release Chakra, the White Zetsu clone naturally mastered the nature of Lightning Release Chakra changes very smoothly.
He was using the Lightning Stimulation Secret Technique that Chizuru had taught him not long ago, rapidly increasing his own speed by expending a large amount of Lightning Release Chakra.
Lightning Stimulation Secret Technique, a secret technique that the powerful of the Uchiha clan obtained from the Yatsura clan during the Warring States period with the help of Sharingan.
In theory, as long as the user's physical strength is strong enough and enough Lightning Release Chakra is consumed, there is no upper limit to the speed increase from this secret technique.
The physical strength of the White Zetsu clone has been enhanced by the God Tree cells, Hashirama cells, Wood Release Chakra and Sage Chakra, so naturally its physical strength is far greater than Chizuru's. Although it is impossible to reach the perverted level of physical strength of Sandaime Raikage, it is also far superior to an ordinary ninja with body techniques.
In addition, the amount of chakra in the White Zetsu clone's body is already greater than that of an average elite jōnin.
Therefore, after the White Zetsu clone fully unleashes Lightning Stimulation Technique, its speed far surpasses Chizuru's. As for how fast it is, Kirito isn't quite sure, but it is definitely not inferior to the speed of a ninja instantly erupting after using Shunshin, and it might even surpass it.
With a thunderous roar, the White Zetsu clone's entire body seems to instantly turn into a white flash of lightning and rush towards the chaos.
He pierced through and destroyed all obstacles along the way.
Then, before Chaos could do anything, he saw a flash of blue and white lightning in his eyes, and he found that his head was grabbed by Kirito.
He looked at Kirito and tried to speak, but then he saw a headless corpse not far away, and then he immediately realized something, and his eyes widened in death.
Sword Technique: Thunder Flash!
"First one."
Kirito collected the head in a summoning scroll and then used Byakugan to look at the next member of the Skull Squad, who was quickly escaping.
This elite member of the Root used the Aburame Secret Technique.
It's decided, then.
The next moment, he once again used the Lightning Stimulation Secret Technique and chased after it as a streak of lightning.
Two or three minutes later, Kirito used Sword Technique: Lightning Flash to sever the head of the fourth member of the Skull Squad and then looked in a certain direction.
Before long, Yamanaka Yun appeared in front of Kirito, carrying the severed head of the last member of the Skull Squad, Kazamashi. He handed the severed head to Kirito with both hands and said respectfully, "Makoto-sama, you have worked hard."
Using the technique of turning one's heart, he had watched the entire process of Kirito fighting the Skull Squad with a single bird.
If before he was just wary of Kirito and thought he could fight Kirito, then now he was left with awe. The leader of the Night Organization was truly unfathomable in his strength, and Kirito had killed Jōnin as if they were chickens.
Even the most elite ninja squad in the Roots was no match for Kirito, and it was only a matter of one move.
The gap is really too big, and he can't even think of fighting back for now.
"You've worked hard these past few days. Thanks to you, we were able to find these people's whereabouts accurately. This operation is considered a complete success. You can go back. You won't be able to help in the next battle,"
Kirito said as he put the severed head that Yamanaka Yun handed him, along with the one he had just obtained, into a summoning scroll and nodded.
"Haha,"
Yamanaka Yun did not dare to voice any objections, bowed respectfully, and then quickly left.
At the same time, he could not help but sigh in his heart: "After today, I'm afraid the Shinobi world will once again give birth to a Kage-Level powerhouse."
Seeing Yamanaka Yun obediently leave, Kirito used his Byakugan to look in the other direction. Seven or eight kilometers in that direction, a large-scale melee was still ongoing, a battle between Iwagakure and Sunagakure.
From the current situation, it seems that the Iwagakure are gaining the upper hand.
Kitsuchi and a large number of Iwagakure ninja used a collective Earth Release jutsu, pushing the Sunagakure back and blocking their escape route.
However, with Chiyo, a shadow-level puppet master, in Sunagakure, she was able to hold back a large number of Iwagakure ninjas, and the retreat of Sunagakure went relatively smoothly.
Moreover, Akashige and Sara had already been rescued by Chiyo from Iwagakure, and the simple seal techniques left on them by Kirito had also been broken by her. Now both of them had regained consciousness and had a certain degree of combat effectiveness.
"Chiyo is truly formidable. Kitsuchi and dozens of Iwagakure ninja couldn't do anything to her, and they even lost a lot of people. This time, Iwagakure is going to suffer heavy losses."
Kirito observed the situation with Byakugan and smiled slightly.
He wasn't surprised by the result. Although Kitsuchi had ambushed a large number of Iwagakure ninja near the trading location early in order to ensure the success of the deal, Chiyo's strength obviously exceeded his expectations.
Kage-Level powerhouses are ultimately ninjas that cannot be described using common sense.
He then looked in the other two directions, where Hanzo and Kakuzu, two Kage-Level powerhouses, were located.
The two Kage-Level powerhouses were now observing the battle between Iwagakure and Sunagakure from afar, and both were aware of the other's presence, vaguely wary of one another.
"After eliminating the Skull Squad at the Root, the next step is to eliminate the remaining unexpected factors,"
Kirito muttered.
Using Akashige and Sara to cause conflict between Iwagakure and Sunagakure was a script that had been prepared from the beginning. Resolving the Skull Squad was just an appetizer to test the power of his Byakugan. The next step was to unite Iwagakure and Hanzo to resolve the issue of Chiyo, a Kage-Level powerhouse.
The only surprise was the immortal Kakuzu.
Kirito hated surprises. Therefore, in order to ensure the smooth progress of his prepared script, he needed to resolve the next surprise, Kakuzu.
The next moment, he once again used the Thunder Stimulation Secret Technique and charged towards Kakuzu.
At the same time, Kakuzu, who had been closely watching the battle between Iwagakure and Sunagakure, suddenly sensed something. He immediately temporarily abandoned the idea of taking advantage of the chaos to hunt down the bounty target, quickly turned around, and looked in a certain direction with a grave expression on his face.
A moment later, a white flash of lightning appeared in his eyes, and a huge sense of threat suddenly arose in his heart.
Without saying a word, he quickly performed the seal, and a huge high-density wind mass was instantly released.
Wind Release: Pressure Damage!
The huge high-density wind mass formed a terrifying storm, like a storm cannon, blowing everything around it away, even huge trees.
The flash of lightning in Kakuzu's eyes was also blown away.
"Hmph, an insolent fellow, actually daring to hit on me,"
Kakuzu sneered as he saw this.
But as soon as the words left his mouth, the lightning reappeared and rushed towards him at lightning speed.
This time, his long-standing good habit of leaving props that could be used for the substitution technique around him saved him.
After the rumble of thunder and lightning, a wooden block that had been cut in half appeared where Kakuzu had originally been.
Kirito appeared in front of Kakuzu as the Mysterious Samurai.
Kakuzu is clearly a man of few words, and without asking Kirito the reason for his assassination attempt, he immediately activated the Earth Grudge mode, causing two mask monsters to appear on his shoulders – one with Fire Release properties and the other with Wind Release properties – and then two more to separate from his body.
After witnessing Kirito's Sword Technique: Thunder Flash, Kakuzu already regarded Kirito as an opponent of the same level, and went all out from the start.
"Is this the Takigakure's Secret Technique of Earth Grudge? What a miraculous ninjutsu,"
Kirito said in a calm tone as he looked at the stance that Kakuzu had assumed at that moment.
From the exchange just now, he had already roughly figured out the gap in strength between himself and Kakuzu.
In terms of speed, he had the advantage.
He also had the advantage in terms of intelligence.
As such, it was not impossible for him to defeat Kakuzu.
"It seems you know me very well, so you may as well die."
Kakuzu's eyes changed as he heard Kirito's words, and he coldly said,
At the same time, the two masked monsters on his shoulders simultaneously unleashed their ninjutsu.
Fire Release: Head Crush!
Wind Release: Pressure Damage!
The wind fanned the flames.
A huge fan-shaped sea of flames rushed towards Kirito quickly.
At the same time, the two masked monsters in the air, one of which was a Lightning Release nature, shot a sharp, huge lightning spear from its mouth, which landed in the sea of flames.
Lightning Release: False Darkness!
"Boom!"
Suddenly, there was a huge explosion in the sea of flames.
The sudden explosion instantly enveloped Kirito.
"Hmph, stupid guy,"
said Kakuzu, who had witnessed Kirito being enveloped in the explosion, with a sneer.
One outstanding characteristic of his combination jutsu, which combined the three powerful ninjutsu of wind, fire and thunder, was its element of surprise. It was also extremely powerful and had a huge range, so that even if the enemy used some kind of instant teleportation technique in time, it would be difficult for them to escape.
Unsurprisingly, this mysterious warrior, who had just appeared, had been blown to pieces by his combination jutsu.
But just as he thought this, he suddenly noticed that something was not quite right in the sea of flames in front of him.
Soon, a rapidly rotating ball of chakra appeared in his eyes.
