Hovering in mid-air, surrounded by a rainbow, Kyomu had a faint smile on his lips as he pointed his straight Yoei blade forward.
Looking over a hundred meters ahead, Kyomu could clearly see Yagura standing at the bow of the ship, who was also staring coldly back at Kyomu.
"The strongest in the ninja world, truly living up to the name," Yagura was the first to respond. "You may be strong, but this is the sea, the main battlefield of Kirigakure!"
As he finished speaking, Yagura waved his hand backward, and five warships began to retreat.
Seeing this, Kyomu burst into laughter.
"Your words are grand, but your actions are less impressive. Why run? Come at me together!"
Standing at the bow, Yagura swung his staff weapon, "I alone am enough to deal with you. First, I'll kill you, then wipe out the remnants of my Kirigakure, and finally invade the heart of your Land of Dragons!"
Kyomu tilted his head, watching Yagura boast without any intention of responding. He simply shook his wrist, signaling Yagura to come at him.
Yagura immediately responded.
With a wave of his staff weapon, he lightly tapped his toes, and as the bow of the ship dipped sharply, sending out massive ripples across the sea, Yagura shot towards Kyomu like a cannonball.
"Are you scared?" Kyomu asked Mei, who was in his arms.
"I can't wait to kill him right now!" Mei gritted her teeth, "If it weren't for Yagura, my clan wouldn't have had to leave our home."
"Then I'll help you kill him," Kyomu said softly. "In the future, take root in the Land of Dragons. I'll treat the Terumi clan well."
With these words, Kyomu swung his blade forward.
The howling wind turned into a tornado, and the blade light tore through the sky, striking directly at the approaching Yagura.
Yagura's pupils shrank, and the hair on his body stood on end. He couldn't afford to think that the best defense was a good offense; he had no choice but to place his staff weapon diagonally in front of him to block.
Boom!
The airwave exploded, the wind-style chakra-formed tornado shattered, and a powerful counterforce exploded, sending Yagura flying backward faster than he had come.
At the same time, the follow-up blade light relentlessly pursued him. If not for the staff weapon blocking, Yagura would have been sliced in half.
Boom!
Yagura fell into the sea, causing a splash several meters high.
However, he didn't sink into the water but gathered chakra at his feet, standing on the surface as if on solid ground.
Sliding backward like surfing to dissipate the force, Yagura's arms bulged with blue veins, and he braced his staff weapon firmly in front of him.
"Hyaah!"
With a loud shout, Yagura exerted great strength, pushing, deflecting, and redirecting the blade light, causing it to graze his shoulder and plunge into the sea.
Boom!
The blade light exploded like a deep-sea bomb, sending water splashing high and blowing Yagura to the side.
After three mid-air flips, Yagura landed on the sea, bent over, with one hand pressing the water as a brake, sliding back nearly ten meters before stabilizing.
Looking up sharply, Kyomu's next attack was already upon him.
Without any warning, the surrounding seawater centered on Yagura, gathering and spiraling upward, quickly forming a massive water dragon armored with coral reefs, resembling a mighty azure dragon.
Composite Ninjutsu: Coral Dragon Technique! This was a powerful single-target assault ninjutsu created by Yagura, combining the chakra of his tailed beast with the Water Dragon Bullet Technique, possessing immense impact and destructive power.
Swoosh.
Kyomu casually tossed Mei aside, then surrounded himself with a thick layer of purple electrical arcs.
Instantly opening the Eighth Gate of Lightning Release Eight Gates!
Stimulated by Lightning Release chakra, Kyomu gained greater strength, speed, and explosiveness, wielding Yoei with both hands.
Blue Flame: Skyline!
Facing the charging giant coral dragon, Kyomu neither dodged nor evaded, swinging his blade downwards. The blade light, imbued with blue-purple flames, slashed through the sky, striking the dragon's head.
Crack, sizzle.
The coral armor shattered without resistance, and the blue-purple blade light continued downward, its scorching heat generating a large amount of steam.
From a distance, Kyomu, only one-tenth the size of the coral dragon, wielded a blue-purple blade light five times his body length, slicing through the massive coral dragon like a hot knife through butter.
Kyomu's ease in destroying his technique was unexpected by Yagura. Hastily, he raised his staff weapon with both hands again.
Clang! The sound of metal striking reverberated painfully, and Yagura, along with the sea around him, sank rapidly, forming a circular wave at the edge of the depression.
Boom! A towering wave covered the sky as Yagura, unable to withstand the force of Kyomu's blade, buckled to one knee on the sea.
Simultaneously, his raised arms trembled, and as they lowered towards his shoulders, Yagura began to undergo partial transformation into his tailed beast form.
His body was enveloped in red chakra, hidden beneath a heavy chakra cloak, obscuring his original appearance and size.
But due to this, Yagura's physical attributes were greatly enhanced.
His three tails swayed behind him as Yagura roared.
Roar! The deafening sound, accompanied by shockwaves, rushed towards Kyomu. At the same time, Yagura's strengthened arms easily broke free from Kyomu's suppression.
Swinging his arms, his tails lashed out, launching four simultaneous attacks at Kyomu.
Instantaneous Movement.
Without any delay, Kyomu dodged Yagura's attacks, appearing above his head.
Swinging his blade downwards, the blade light gleamed as it struck the half-transformed Yagura on the head.
Staggering, Yagura plunged half his body into the sea.
With limbs on the ground, the half-transformed Yagura struggled, then looked up, his blood-red eyes fixed on Kyomu.
His right forepaw swung in retaliation, and as the sound of breaking air approached, the splashing water, influenced by the Three-Tails' chakra, turned into irregular coral.
Before the coral could reach him, the gusts of wind struck first, painfully assaulting the eardrums.
Kyomu didn't dodge, gripping his blade with both hands and meeting the attack head-on.
Clang! Roar!
The sound of metal clashing and Yagura's painful cry echoed together as Kyomu's single strike severed half of Yagura's forepaw.
As their bodies passed each other, Yoei's blade carried a mass of tailed beast chakra and a small fragment of a soul.
Swish.
In an instant, Kyomu turned around and casually flicked the tailed beast chakra and soul fragment off Yoei's blade, absorbing them into his body.
Splash. Yagura's eyes flashed with dread, and without thinking, he dove into the sea, disappearing in an instant.
Hovering in mid-air, Kyomu looked down, observing a shadow like an orca's silhouette swimming back and forth, seeking an opportunity to attack.
Not making Kyomu wait even a second longer, the half-transformed Yagura, hidden in the sea, suddenly opened his mouth, launching a Tailed Beast Ball.
The Tailed Beast Ball spun as it shot out of the water, trailed by a water column, rushing towards Kyomu at high speed.
Moreover, Yagura had a sly idea in his attack, not only targeting Kyomu but also aiming at the merchant ship behind him.
If Kyomu dodged, the Tailed Beast Ball would instantly destroy the merchant ship. If he didn't, Kyomu would have to take the hit head-on.
Ha! Kyomu sneered, thinking that he was underestimated.
Two years ago, facing a Tailed Beast Ball, if Kyomu didn't have suitable combat passive skills or the help of his comrades, besides using the Fivefold Rashomon, he wouldn't have the ability to withstand a Tailed Beast Ball.
But now, apart from the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball, the Tailed Beast Balls of other tailed beasts were nothing to Kyomu.
With a casual wave, he quickly merged the wind, yin, and lightning chakra within his body, spreading them through his palm into the surrounding space.
Space Release (Space Kekkei Genkai): Wormhole Fold!
Space ripples surged, and the Tailed Beast Ball launched by Yagura vanished into it as if it had never existed.
Simultaneously, the Tailed Beast Ball reappeared underwater, targeting the half-transformed Yagura from the side.
Yagura turned his head sharply, his eyes flashing with panic and shock. He frantically moved his limbs and three tails, trying to turn.
But it was too late! Kyomu retreated with a flicker and scooped up Mei Terumi from the edge of the battlefield into his arms.
Boom! Almost simultaneously, a massive circular splash erupted from below the sea, sending water soaring into the sky.
Along with the splash was the half-transformed Yagura. A quick glance revealed that half of Yagura's body was gone, with exposed bones clearly visible.
He couldn't even handle his own Tailed Beast Ball?
Kyomu grinned and gently set Mei down before flashing forward in pursuit.
Holding Yoei horizontally in front of his chest, Kyomu flicked his arm, unleashing a blade light forward.
Purple Flame: Skyline!
A fine line of purple flame, with a temperature reaching 7000 degrees, shot forward, causing the seawater to boil and produce a massive amount of steam, enveloping the sea surface in mist.
Instantaneous Movement.
In a blink, Kyomu appeared behind Yagura, repeating the process and slashing forward with another long, narrow purple blade light.
In an instant, the two purple blade lights from the front and back converged. If either struck Yagura, even his half-transformed state would be vaporized.
Complete Tailed Beast Transformation!
As the blade lights neared, Yagura finally completed his full transformation into the Three-Tails Isobu, his massive body appearing on the sea surface like a small island.
But immediately, the two purple blade lights swept through, encircling the Three-Tails Isobu.
The purple blade lights exploded, and the high temperatures carried by the steam enveloped the massive body of the Three-Tails Isobu. The scorching air radiated outward, causing the surrounding seawater to boil and bubble, sending waves of heat throughout the area.
Gurgle.
Wherever the blade light passed, the seawater bubbled like boiling water. The heatwaves even forced Mei, who was observing from the battlefield's edge, to raise her hand to shield her forehead.
The smell of singed hair filled her nostrils, and Mei was horrified, wondering how she would cope if she faced Kyomu's attacks.
She concluded that waiting for death was the best option—a swift, effort-free solution.
But before the heatwaves dissipated, the Three-Tails Isobu's three tails pierced out from beneath the sea surface, attacking Kyomu from three directions.
"The turtle shell is really hard, and at sea, the attack temperature of 'Skyline' is significantly weakened."
Kyomu murmured to himself, acknowledging the truth.
Despite not evading Kyomu's attack, the Three-Tails Isobu had just enough time to hide its most vulnerable parts underwater, exposing its back to face the assault.
Even so, the Three-Tails Isobu was in significant distress. Its tough shell bore two deep scars, almost splitting it in half.
Additionally, the complete Three-Tails Isobu dared not use the Tailed Beast Ball against Kyomu.
With Kyomu's mysterious spatial abilities, if the Three-Tails Isobu recklessly used the Tailed Beast Ball, Kyomu could use his Space Kekkei Genkai to instantly redirect it back into the Three-Tails' mouth.
But soon after.
Roar!
The Three-Tails Isobu roared in pain as one of its attacking tails was severed. Yoei's blade now held another mass of tailed beast chakra and a small fragment of the beast's soul.
Even the Three-Tails Isobu couldn't withstand an attack that touched its soul!
Writhing in pain like a boiling pot, the Three-Tails Isobu flipped and dove deep into the sea, leaving no trace behind.
"Running away because it can't win?" Kyomu hovered in mid-air, surveying the surroundings. He noticed the warships of Kirigakure rapidly retreating, almost disappearing from his sight.
"They can run, but do you think you can escape?"
Kyomu grinned, stepping on the air as if he were a rocket, shooting straight up.
Taking a deep breath, his heartbeat accelerated, pumping blood through his body like liquid mercury.
Chakra surged within him as Kyomu held Yoei with both hands. Reaching a certain height, he flipped 180 degrees, head-down, facing the sea.
In free fall, with the wind howling past his ears, Kyomu raised Yoei above his head with both hands.
The noisy wind suddenly ceased, the surrounding air being drawn, gathered, and condensed by Yoei. With the wind-style chakra driving and Yoei's inherent 'wind blade' ability, the weather changed dramatically.
A towering white blade light took shape, resembling a skyscraper, as Kyomu held it and struck down towards the sea.
Cutting through water should make it flow even more, but this paradox was shattered as Kyomu's blade light hit the sea, causing the water to part and form a clear path to the seabed, revealing the mud and rocks.
And there, the Three-Tails Isobu, with its small eyes, shrank to pinpoints.
Simply inhuman!
