บท 412: Chapter 104
Invulnerable to conventional strikes, albeit chakra-enhanced, the melee fighter was immune only to kunai coated in katon chakra that melted noticeable grooves in the stone. Completely focused on nukenin, keeping his weapon in proper condition and repeatedly accelerating the chakra circulation in his muscles to ensure a solid speed advantage, Konoha's jonin had all but stopped monitoring the affairs of his allies.
However, the nukenin who had gotten carried away by the unexpectedly difficult fight was doing the same thing. That was why a sudden flash of chakra about five kilometers to the south took both of them by surprise (even though neither of them was a sensor), forcing them to synchronously break their distance and turn their heads in that direction.
- Suiton: Daibaku Suihosha!
The faintly delivered shout with the name of the technique made the jonin reflexively cringe - using a suiton in the desert and in this heat? Whichever idiot was up to it was unlikely to get anything more than a small puddle of water as a result.
Kay had a strong conviction about the idiot's identity and even a slight doubt about the failure of the suiton by the creator of the technique - Ryo was considered a genius and the strongest shinobi of his generation for a reason, despite the chunin title he'd retained after the war - but he and his neighbor's eyes widened as a huge wave of water about fifteen meters high and a hundred and fifty wide surged up in the distance.
And the crystal-clear, joyful laughter of a small figure with a waving mane of scarlet hair riding the elements sent a wave of goosebumps down my spine, despite the desert heat. There was something mesmerizing and hypnotic in the picture that opened to the two shinobi. The former Iwa jonin was the first to emerge from his trance, and after a quick glance at Shibatori, he suddenly threw Tsuchi no Yoroi off of him and with a solid amount of chakra invested in his jump, launched himself toward the tsunami in the desert.
Kay blinked in surprise at the sudden loss of his opponent, and then the meaning of the nukenin's rapidly receding back came to the jonin's attention. He cursed and rushed to catch up with his foe, praying to the gods that Ryo had realized he was looking around and noticed the new danger in time, rather than relaxing and destroying his opponent. Losing a friend simply because he'd missed his enemy by freezing with his mouth open was not something Kay smiled at all.
The fact that he was concentrating on chasing after the nukenin who'd gotten away from him, but hadn't noticed the shinobi who'd rushed to the place where the suiton had been used so impressively, just a couple hundred meters away, added to the irony of his thoughts.

- Kha-kha, ouch, my arms! And my throat!
Shaking the aforementioned limbs, I grimaced at the burning sensation in my keirakukei channels. Still, this kind of exertion doesn't go to waste even for Uzumaki's chakro system. The next time I get the "brilliant" idea to cram half of Hiruzen's reserve into a technique and then smash it with a couple of A attacks, I'd better think again! But, despite not the best feeling, after such entertainment, I couldn't stop smiling widely - I don't know how it looked from the outside, but riding a multi-meter wave in the middle of the desert was incredibly cool!
