"But it doesn't matter, you're all going to die here anyway."
Before he finished speaking, Xia Yan suddenly erupted with dark blue lightning chakra. The surging aura enveloped him like an outer garment, and electric currents flickered on his body from time to time.
It is the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
Although I only had one day to learn this ninjutsu, as a B-rank ninjutsu, it wasn't difficult to learn.
Not to mention that Xia Yan himself possesses the attributes of lightning, fire, and wind, and also has the double buffs of the Byakugan and the Transparent World.
Learning ninjutsu naturally makes things much easier.
In fact, Xia Yan is different from others who prefer close combat, where every punch and every strike is a critical hit.
Natsuhiko, who studied under Orochimaru, has a more flexible fighting style.
Although he could draw his sword and slash a couple of times in close combat thanks to the swordsmanship and experience shared with the other Xia Yans.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that his swordsmanship alone makes him the best in the world.
Even when unarmed, with the powerful enhancements of Byakugan and the ability to see through the world, combined with his pressure point skills, he can barely be considered as strong as an ordinary person.
However, most of the time, he prefers to fight in the style of a ninja using ninjutsu.
The powerful mental strength brings chakra that surpasses that of ninjas of the same level, and the research into medical ninjutsu brings exquisite chakra control.
The three attributes of lightning, fire, and wind that Orochimaru was born with have already undergone nature transformation, and Orochimaru's most proficient Earth Release has also undergone nature transformation.
With Orochimaru as his teacher, whose childhood dream was to learn all the ninjutsu in the world, his knowledge of ninjutsu, while not as extensive as that of Hiruzen Sarutobi who called himself the "Ninjutsu Doctor," definitely surpasses that of most people in the world.
So unless there are special circumstances, Xia Yan is basically a cannon emplacement.
This can be considered as fulfilling his dream of becoming a mage.
Having learned many ninjutsu techniques, he was able to apply his knowledge to other areas and master the B-rank Lightning Release Chakra Mode with ease, completing it in just two days.
Moreover, the difficulty of this ninjutsu lies in stimulating the body with lightning-style chakra day after day, allowing the user to gradually adapt.
This allows one to instantly enter Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
Furthermore, through constant stimulation, the body is tempered through continuous destruction and regeneration, resulting in a physique that can be described as an invincible shield.
The Third Raikage, that muscular gorilla, could even play a game with the muscular tailed beast, Gyuki.
Xia Yan's boastful remarks just now were not merely meant to scare people.
Its more important function is to charge up energy for entering Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
of course.
Although Xia Yan is able to use it, he is still far from being able to physically control a tailed beast like the Raikage.
But it's more than enough to impress people.
At least now, everyone in front of them is completely convinced of Xia Yan's disguised identity as a member of the Hidden Cloud Village.
After all, Lightning Release Chakra Mode is a secret ninjutsu passed down in Kumogakure.
"Damn it, stop looking down on people, Cloud Ninja!"
Kusanagi Shinobu roared and charged at Natsuhiko instead.
As a Chunin from a small ninja village, he obviously didn't have any impressive ninjutsu techniques to use and could only rely on taijutsu in combat.
Their fighting style is more like that of samurai who have mastered chakra.
This is understandable, since before Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha joined forces to start the era of ninja villages, the entire ninja world was mainly composed of clan-based ninja forces.
Ninjutsu is generally mastered by ninja clans.
Ninjas without a clan have a very difficult time obtaining ninjutsu resources.
Those powerful ninja clans would naturally not join an obscure village like Kusagakure.
Those who join Kusagakure are either from small ninja clans or wandering ninja.
Let alone a Chunin, even the entire Kusagakure probably couldn't come up with any decent ninjutsu.
To be fair, although his skills were lacking, his style was quite distinctive. He wore a sleeveless haori, similar to a vest, and his hair was styled into an oversized pompadour.
It looks like he has a lump of cow dung on his head.
His weapons are also quite unique.
It was a long spear with a flag attached.
It's clear that he belongs to a minor ninja clan with some background.
The flags were waved with considerable skill, clearly similar to the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist, possessing its own set of physical combat techniques.
The flag, infused with chakra, could even guide the flow of air as it danced.
If a so-called genius were to emerge in one generation of their family, they might be able to develop this system and create a type of ninjutsu similar to that of the Hidden Cloud Village.
They might even have created a wind-style ninjutsu.
However, it seems unlikely that Kusanosuke will ever see this.
Chapter 144 Ninjutsu Combo
"Watch closely! Damn Cloud Ninja! This is the strength of Grass Village!"
Dressed like a motorcycle biker gang member, Kusanosuke roared and unleashed a furious attack with the flag in his hand, turning the surrounding air into sharp blades as the flag swayed.
He charged toward Xia Yan, who was disguised, like the blade of a blender.
Even though he had launched an all-out attack, he still couldn't touch a single hair on Xia Yan's head.
"Oh, your Kusagakure is really amazing."
Xia Yan praised in an extremely perfunctory tone.
Kusanosuke, who had never experienced such sarcastic and abusive treatment before, was completely unaccustomed to such treatment.
In the heat of the moment, his movements even quickened.
only,.
Still no effect!
Although he could create transparent wind blades by relying on the special nature of his weapon, this was still a technique that relied on chakra, and naturally, it could not escape the observation of Xia Yan's Byakugan.
His refined physical movements, enhanced by the Byakugan and the Transparent World, were like slow-motion rehearsed scenes from an action movie.
Even if he just raises his hand, Xia Yan can already see through the attack he is about to use.
In addition, the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, while not yet invincible, still provides a remarkable boost to one's speed.
This resulted in Kusanosuke's attacks appearing fierce, but he never actually touched Natsuhiko.
Instead, he exhausted himself and was panting heavily.
However, despite having gained a complete advantage, Xia Yan was not in a hurry to end the battle.
Using Lightning Release Chakra Mode for the first time, the speed boost gave him a thrilling feeling of speed, and even made him feel as if he could move freely in a slow-paced world.
Quite interesting.
He now understands why game streamers sometimes smurf in lower ranks.
Because it's really fun to dominate weaker opponents.
"You're all sweaty, aren't you, buddy!"
Xia Yan's lips curled into a slightly flirtatious smile as he dodged Kusanosuke's attacks and asked in a flippant tone.
It has a kind of elegant feeling of strolling leisurely amidst a hail of bullets.
The only drawback is his ugly, dark face, which makes him seem like the kind of villain who's likely to die and talks too much.
Despite being exhausted, Kusanosuke still fought with all his might to maintain the offensive, giving off the feeling of a leader in a shonen anime who risked his life to create opportunities for the protagonist.
"Kusanosuke-sensei! We're here to help you!"
The genin from Kusagakure, who were originally left behind to protect Kawajiri Koji due to their lack of strength, seemed to have been infected by Kusanosuke's passion.
Only three genin, including the orphan of the Uzumaki clan, remained to continue protecting Kawajiri Koji.
He kept throwing kunai, shuriken and other ninja tools at Xia Yan, trying to disrupt Xia Yan's dodging rhythm.
Even when facing attacks of the magnitude of Kusanosuke's, Natsuhiko was able to dodge with ease, let alone those ninja tools that were slowly thrown at him.
Although it had no effect, this attack, which was of such low quality, did spoil Xia Yan's enjoyment.
This made him lose interest in playing around.
Xia Yan casually caught a kunai that was thrown at him and looked at the three genin.
"Yameh—!!!"
Upon seeing Xia Yan's actions, Kusanosuke clearly guessed what Xia Yan's purpose was, and let out a furious roar with eyes wide open.
However, such lamentations from the weak are clearly meaningless.
Next second,
Xia Yan's figure transformed into a bolt of lightning, escaping from Kusanosuke's attack and appearing behind the three clueless genin as if by teleportation.
The three genin froze on the spot.
呲——
Blood spurted upwards like a fountain.
Along with it were three young heads that fell to the ground at the same time, their faces still bearing excited smiles.
But just as the head hit the ground, a pair of hands with hooks and claws reached out from under Xia Yan's feet and slashed at his ankles.
It was another Chunin from Kusagakure who had disappeared since the start of the battle.
After the battle began, he dug a pit and burrowed into the ground, waiting for the right moment to strike.
However, Xia Yan's battle with Kusanosuke did not reveal any flaws, allowing him to remain hidden until now.
Now that it has broken through the ground, it is clear that he wants to take this opportunity to disable Xia Yan's high mobility.
After all, a leg injury will definitely affect a person's mobility.
