Capítulo 163: Chapter 163: Shimura Danzo, are you breaking down already?
"Then let's try this."
"Earth Release, Earth Dragon Bullet Jutsu!"
Shinnosuke once again formed hand seals.
A mass of earth gathered into an earth dragon, which felt more realistic compared to a water dragon.
But it's somewhat different from the Water Dragon Bullet.
The earth dragon opened its large mouth.
A powerful stream of earth was thrown towards Kisame.
Kisame still raised the Sword of Wisdom.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft!"
"You little monkey, your strength isn't up to par, so you're resorting to dirty tricks?"
"You think you can disgust me with such a technique?"
"It's so ugly and disgusting, like a defecation ninjutsu; I can't believe you're using it."
"Today, I'll make you regret it!"
Dragon Slayer cursed loudly, but the absorption of Chakra didn't slow down.
Shinnosuke's expression slightly darkened.
"Just like the Fire Release from before, it was absorbed before it could pose a threat."
"This absorption efficiency is much faster than Samehada among the Seven Ninja Swords of the Hidden Mist."
Shinnosuke's eyes flickered.
"He's difficult to deal with."
"Kisame is also a tough opponent."
"There are two options."
"Either increase the intensity of the ninjutsu so that Zanpakuto can't absorb it."
"Or switch to close-range taijutsu combat."
"However..."
Shinnosuke looked around.
"Given the current situation, it seems more appropriate to use both approaches simultaneously."
"I can't let Kisame regain his momentum and become the top of the younger generation again and gain too much battle experience from me."
"Kakashi, recover quickly."
Shinnosuke had never considered the possibility of losing.
In Shinnosuke's view, even if Kisame had acquired a new Zanpakuto, his own strength was undoubtedly superior to Kisame's.
Shinnosuke did not want Kisame to gain too much combat experience.
He didn't want Kisame to become more proficient with the new Zanpakuto.
If that happened, it would increase the difficulty for Kakashi, who was recovering and would return to the battlefield.
Thus, Shinnosuke decided to end the battle quickly.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
Shinnosuke bit his finger, causing blood to flow.
The next moment, a monkey appeared beside Shinnosuke.
A young Enma.
"Shinnosuke."
"Please help me"
The Monkey nodded and charged directly at Kisame.
At the same time, Shinnosuke quickly formed hand seals.
"Fire Release, Fire Dragon Bullet Jutsu!"
"Earth Release, Earth Dragon Bullet Jutsu!"
"Water Release, Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu!"
"Wind Release, Vacuum Sphere Jutsu!"
Four different types of ninjutsu were used in succession.
Endless and continuous.
Though not fully integrated, there were already subtle signs of fusion.
Shinnosuke could be considered a perfect inheritor of Hiruzen's combat style, skilled in various attribute ninjutsu, and following the path of combination ninjutsu.
Of course, Shinnosuke is still not on par with Hiruzen.
In terms of Lightning Release, Shinnosuke is significantly weaker.
Moreover, the degree of ninjutsu fusion is much lower than that of Hiruzen.
However, even at this level, he can already produce quite impressive attacks.
The momentum was immense.
The Konoha ninjas showed proud expressions.
"This is Shinnosuke-sama!"
"He's so strong."
"Can you still absorb this ninjutsu, Kisame?"
"I don't believe it."
"Die!"
Before Shinnosuke's ninjutsu reached its target, the monkey had already arrived in front of Kisame.
With one hand clenched into a fist, the monkey struck at Kisame.
Kisame raised his hand to block with his sword.
"Ding!"
Fist met blade.
"Hiss!"
The monkey couldn't help but suck in a breath.
"This sword is so hard!"
The monkey glanced down at his own fist.
He knew his own condition well.
As a member of the Monkey Clan, who trained their bodies day and night, this monkey's fists, though not as unbreakable as the old Enma contracted by Sarutobi Hiruzen, were still comparable to steel.
Yet just now, the monkey had felt a stinging pain.
This was enough to show the hardness and sharpness of the Sword of Wisdom.
"You furry monkey, daring to use your fists against me? I respect you as a fool."
"Come again."
The monkey didn't dare to attack directly again.
However, he didn't retreat either.
Instead, he continued to restrain Kisame.
The goal wasn't to defeat Kisame, but to ensure that Shinnosuke's attack could land successfully.
Kisame couldn't move away.
Finally, Shinnosuke's ninjutsu arrived.
Four different attribute attacks were partially fused together, creating a power far greater than any single ninjutsu.
The amount of chakra used was also significantly higher.
Kisame brought the Sword of Wisdom up.
A strong attraction force descended.
Immediately, Shinnosuke's ninjutsu was drawn in.
A large amount of chakra was absorbed by the Sword of Wisdom, blocking the ninjutsu and preventing it from advancing.
"You little monkey. Calling you a monkey was spot on, and now you've even summoned a monkey helper."
"Is he your half-brother?"
"But this level of attack is too weak."
"Thank you for the gift!"
Seeing the Sword of Wisdom being restrained, the monkey's eyes lit up.
"Adamantine!"
He concentrated chakra in his fists, making them incredibly hard.
In the monkey's view, without the Sword of Wisdom, Kisame wouldn't be able to withstand his punches.
And indeed, that was the case.
Kisame's physical strength was no match for a being like the monkey.
"Bang!"
A punch landed, and Kisame felt his arm's bones crack.
Seeing this, the monkey pressed the attack with even more force.
In the blink of an eye, Kisame had numerous new injuries.
But at that moment,
"Swallow this, and your power will surge!"
"Young man, receive my chakra!"
As the Sword of Wisdom transmitted a large amount of chakra to Kisame, the injuries on his body visibly healed at a rapid pace.
This was another use of the Chakra Absorption Technique that Kisame had learned.
Using chakra to heal his own injuries.
In a way, it could also be considered a healing ninjutsu.
Tsunade and Yakushi Kabuto had used chakra in this manner before.
With the supplement from the Sword of Wisdom, even though Kisame's physical strength and taijutsu skills were inferior to the monkey's, he still managed to avoid falling into a significant disadvantage.
This made the monkey anxious.
Because Shinnosuke's ninjutsu was about to end.
It was close to being completely absorbed by the Sword of Wisdom.
"Little monkey, thank you for the hospitality!"
"Young man, it's our turn now. Kill them all without leaving a trace!"
Kisame withdrew the Sword of Wisdom and forced the monkey back with a single strike.
Then, he leaped into the air and began forming hand seals.
A greater amount of chakra than any previous ninjutsu used by Kisame gathered around him.
"Water Release, Exploding Water Colliding Wave Jutsu!"
Immediately, a powerful stream of water was expelled by Kisame.
The moment it landed, it turned the surrounding area into a lake, with water spreading, covering, and enveloping everything around, including nearby Mist Ninjas and Konoha Ninjas, who were submerged.
For the Mist Ninjas, this wasn't much of an issue.
Water was the battle environment they were most skilled in.
But for the Konoha Ninjas, the situation was not so favorable.
It wasn't that they couldn't swim.
It was that they were suddenly overwhelmed by a lake, and weaker Konoha Ninjas couldn't react in time. The immense pressure had already rendered them incapacitated.
Even Ameyuri found some advantage against Hizashi due to the appearance of this lake.
By using Water Release, she managed to create some distance.
"What a terrifying Water Release!"
"Is this really the Exploding Water Colliding Wave Jutsu?"
The Konoha ninjas were astonished.
At the moment Shinnosuke appeared, they thought the outcome of the battle was already decided.
But even after Shinnosuke used four different attribute ninjutsu attacks and his summon, he still hadn't managed to defeat Kisame.
Instead, Kisame had used such a powerful Water Release attack.
Even the Mist Ninjas were shocked.
"How much chakra did Kisame use for this level of Exploding Water Colliding Wave Jutsu?"
"It far exceeds the usual Exploding Water Colliding Wave Jutsu."
"Kisame shouldn't have that much chakra. It must have absorbed chakra from Shinnosuke's ninjutsu."
One Mist Ninja's eyes lit up.
"This new Zanpakuto's ability is incredibly strong."
"Absorbing the enemy's ninjutsu to replenish its own chakra, growing stronger with each battle."
"Against ninjutsu users, it's invincible!"
"And Kisame's taijutsu is impressive too."
Shinnosuke's face turned grim and anxious.
He realized that he might actually lose.
This was unacceptable to Shinnosuke.
He was much older than Kisame.
They weren't even from the same generation.
Kisame was from the Silver Age.
He was from the Gold Age.
In this situation, if he lost to Kisame, what would that mean?
He would become a joke in the entire ninja world.
Everything he had previously built would be ruthlessly stripped away.
What genius.
What Hokage's son.
What about Konoha's future hopes?
What about the next Ninja Professor?
…
Shinnosuke could imagine how disastrous the discussions would be if he were defeated by Kisame.
Being Sarutobi Hiruzen's son wouldn't make a difference.
The current situation of Sarutobi Asuma proved that.
Shinnosuke knew well that he couldn't accept such a fate.
"No, absolutely not."
"I cannot lose!"
Shinnosuke stared intently at Kisame.
But previously, Shinnosuke couldn't deal with Kisame, let alone now.
In this lake environment, the advantage was with Kisame.
"Water Release: 5 Feeding Sharks!"
Kisame performed hand seals and slapped the water surface.
Immediately, five sharks appeared.
The sharks swam at an extremely fast speed in the water, charging toward Shinnosuke.
Before Shinnosuke could make a move against Kisame, these sharks attacked him first.
The sharks were fierce and fast, making it very difficult for Shinnosuke to defend himself in the water environment.
However, after Shinnosuke managed to destroy one shark, he discovered that the destroyed shark quickly regenerated once it returned to the water.
"Crunch!"
One of Shinnosuke's arms was bitten by a shark.
A sharp pain surged through him.
Shinnosuke cried out in pain.
The shark violently shook its head.
It bit off Shinnosuke's arm.
A large amount of blood spurted out from the wound.
Shinnosuke was instantly filled with panic.
Where he had previously been worried about whether he would lose, he was now concerned about whether he would be killed here.
The Konoha ninjas showed grim expressions upon witnessing the scene.
In the shadows,
Shimura Danzo shook his head.
"Shinnosuke, you have truly disappointed me."
However, Shimura Danzo could not simply watch Shinnosuke be killed.
After all, Shinnosuke was the son of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Danzo stepped forward.
"Wind Release, Vacuum Wave!"
A gust of wind formed a massive blade, slashing toward Shinnosuke.
"Shinnosuke, fall back."
Shinnosuke looked at Danzo and, upon hearing his voice, felt as if he had found a lifeline.
"Yes, Danzo-sensei."
Strictly speaking, Danzo was not Shinnosuke's teacher.
However, Shinnosuke had sought Danzo's guidance when learning Wind Release.
Thus, he referred to him as Danzo-sensei.
This was different from the clear master-student relationship between Ameyuri and Juzo.
It was even less than the relationship between Kakashi and Sakura, where one is a leader and the other a team member.
It was more like the relationship between Soma and Kakuzu.
Seeing this, the monkey quickly carried Shinnosuke on his back and retreated.
Danzo looked at Kisame across the battlefield.
More specifically, his gaze was fixed on the Sword of Wisdom in Kisame's hand.
Kisame had returned to the battlefield, and compared to before, his strength had undergone a tremendous transformation.
Previously, Kisame was only the top of the younger generation.
Defeating Kakashi was his greatest achievement.
Now, even Shinnosuke was no match for Kisame.
This meant that Kisame had completely entered a different level, surpassing the concept of the younger generation.
He could now be compared to mature ninjas.
Danzo believed the main reason for this was the Sword of Wisdom.
"A Ninjato so powerful."
Danzo's eyes revealed a hint of jealousy and greed.
"Hidden Mist Village does not deserve to have such a Ninjato."
"This Ninjato should fall into my hands."
Dragon Slayer noticed Danzo's gaze and immediately became displeased.
"That old man, what are you staring at?"
"Hit the young ones, then face the older ones."
"Hit the older ones, then face the really old ones."
"A mere old geezer daring to look at me with such disgusting eyes—let me see if I don't beat you till you're crying like a baby!"
"So old and ugly, pretending to be profound, wearing such ragged clothes. What bad taste. How come Konoha keep producing people like you? Fighting with you has spoiled my appetite."
Danzo's expression darkened. After a while, he managed to calm down, his eyes flickering.
"If I get this Ninjato back, it will need some proper training!"
