Naruto: Five Lives, Five Times the Excitement

Chapter 213 Hozuki Mangetsu and Kyosuke

Shisui was young, and his Sharingan's genjutsu power couldn't be fully utilized, making it extremely difficult to trap a powerful opponent like Mei Terumi.

Even if Mei Terumi is under a genjutsu, she can break free in a very short time.

The problem was that Shisui's counterattack was beyond her expectations.

The moment Mei Terumi was trapped by the illusion, Shisui had already descended from the water to Mei Terumi's feet, and with kunai in his hands, he launched a surprise attack.

"Mei Terumi's personality still carries a hint of arrogance; she actually underestimates her enemy just because of their age and strength."

All of this was observed by Qing, who was about to make a move.

Suddenly, four shadow clones of Kyosuke leaped out of the water around Ao, and four short swords stabbed at Ao from different directions.

In an instant, the blade pierced Qing's body.

"Damn it, it's a water clone."

Qing's body turned into a puddle of clear water, and one of his shadow clones cursed in frustration.

Another shadow clone calmly said, "The opponent has the Byakugan, so a surprise attack is inherently difficult to succeed."

The third shadow clone said, "Hmph, even using the Byakugan requires chakra. He's not from the Hyuga clan, so he might be consuming even more. With so many of us shadow clones, as long as we keep launching surprise attacks, we'll definitely wear him down!"

The last shadow clone said, "We don't need to wear him down. As long as we can distract him, we've succeeded."

At this moment, Kyosuke was engaged in battle and could only give general orders to his numerous shadow clones, lacking the energy to precisely direct their actions.

Therefore, the shadow clones all exercised their own initiative and completed Kyosuke's mission objectives according to their own ideas.

When Ao reappeared after disappearing, she was right next to Mei Terumi.

At this moment, Shisui's upper body had already emerged from the water, his hands tightly gripping the short sword, the blade thrusting upwards from below, less than ten centimeters from Terumi Mei's abdomen.

Qing grabbed Shisui's wrist with his right hand, and thrust the kunai in his left hand downwards toward Shisui's skull.

"So it really failed?"

Faced with failure, Shisui showed only slight disappointment and remained very calm.

It is inherently difficult for the weak to defeat the strong.

quack quack.

The moment the kunai pierced Shisui's head, Shisui's body split into more than a dozen crows.

The crows began to flutter around Qing, briefly disrupting his movements.

Once the crows were driven away, Shisui was already standing more than ten meters away.

"Damn it... I actually got beaten up by such a brat..."

Mei Terumi's deep voice, filled with anger, reached Ao's ears.

Mei Terumi clenched her teeth, her face expressionless, only her eyes filled with murderous intent.

The other person looked to be around ten years old, like a student at the ninja academy.

As a result, he almost got killed by that brat!

What a shame!

Seeing the fighting spirit emanating from Mei Terumi, Ao nodded and left.

"I'll go to Kisame Hoshigaki first."

He's not a babysitter; he can't protect Mei Terumi forever.

If Mei Terumi could still be killed after something like this, it only proves that she didn't deserve to live in the ninja world.

The reason for going to Kisame Hoshigaki was that, according to Ao's observation, Kisame Hoshigaki had the weakest opponent.

The key to victory is to exploit the enemy's weaknesses in the shortest time possible, and then concentrate your forces to eliminate the powerful enemy.

After Ao left, Mei Terumi's attacks became even more ferocious, and she also became more vigilant, giving Shisui no chance to retaliate.

Shisui had no choice but to passively fight back, and had to use ninjutsu to quickly deplete his chakra and stamina, causing the situation to deteriorate rapidly.

Fortunately, with the support of Kyosuke's shadow clone, Shisui managed to hold on.

With the help of the numerous shadow clones around him, Kyosuke obtained information about the others, and his mood became heavy.

"What a cunning enemy, actually using Asuma as a breakthrough point."

Ao kept breaking through Kyosuke's shadow clones that attacked him, so Kyosuke was very clear about Ao's purpose.

Asuma – Shisui – himself: This is the enemy's attack order.

As their teammates die, those behind will face even more enemies.

Kyosuke still held onto a sliver of hope, hoping that the enemy would concentrate their attacks on him, so that he could use his massive chakra to hold off the enemy and make it easier for the others to retreat.

shhhhh!

Two liquid bullets, like bullets, came flying in. Kyosuke dodged to the side, the liquid bullets grazing his nose.

"Hey, you're spacing out while fighting me, that's infuriating!"

Surrounded by more than a dozen shadow clones of Kyosuke, Hozuki Mangetsu ignored the threat of the numerous shadow clones and smirked at Kyosuke, seemingly smiling, but his mouth full of sharp, serrated teeth sent chills down one's spine.

Kyosuke sent out dozens more shadow clones to support Asuma and Shisui. As his brain began to throb slightly, he knew that the side effects of having so many shadow clones destroyed were starting to appear.

"We can't continue like this. We must defeat the enemy as soon as possible before we have a chance to escape with Shisui and Asuma."

"Lightning Release: Earth Walk!"

Kyosuke saw lightning on the water beneath his feet. The lightning spread rapidly in the water and rushed directly towards Hozuki Mangetsu.

At the same time, the shadow clones around them also launched an attack.

"Spiral pills!"

Numerous Rasengans attacked Hozuki Mangetsu from all angles.

"Tch, trying to counter me with Lightning Release?"

Hozuki Mangetsu spoke with disdain, but his eyes held a hint of caution.

Lightning has a natural restraining effect on him; all he can do is try to weaken this restraint, but he can't eliminate it at all.

After a very short moment of thought, Hozuki Mangetsu leaped into the air, away from the water's surface.

At the same time, his index fingers, like guns, fired liquid bullets, eliminating one Kyosuke shadow clone after another that approached him.

At the same time, Kyosuke used a summoning jutsu.

"Come out, Boss Wen!"

A giant toad named Gamabunta appeared.

Kyosuke stood atop Bunta's head, pointed directly at Hozuki Mangetsu in the sky ahead, and shouted, "Bunta-sama, use the oil bomb!"

"Stinky boy!"

As soon as Gamabunta came out, he heard Kyosuke's command and was very unhappy, but he still cooperated with Kyosuke with a sour face and spat out a huge ball of oil.

Kyosuke also used Fire Release, spitting out a fireball that ignited the oil bomb, creating a giant fireball the size of a hill.

"trouble!"

Seeing the huge fireball hurtling towards him, even before it got close, Hozuki Mangetsu felt a strong heat and unconsciously frowned.

At the same time, Kyosuke's shadow clones around him launched a desperate attack, their ninjutsu and sword auras clashing as they circled around Hozuki Mangetsu, giving him no chance to dodge.

Seeing that Kyosuke's lightning had dissipated, one of the shadow clones used Lightning Release to unleash another wave.

Lightning crackled once more on the water beneath Hozuki's full moon.

Seeing this, Hozuki Mangetsu, who was falling, cursed under his breath, dodged a sudden attack from a Kyosuke shadow clone behind him, and stepped on the clone to jump three or four meters into the air.

At that moment, a huge fireball appeared before them.

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

Hozuki Mangetsu spews out a giant water sphere.

The water ball collided directly with the fireball, making a hissing sound. A large amount of water was evaporated by the high temperature, turning into high-temperature steam that quickly enveloped the battlefield.

Seeing the enemy enveloped in steam, Kyosuke continued forming hand seals while simultaneously commanding his shadow clones: "Go!"
