The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 268 Red Lotus
"Then let's try that trick first..."

"Red Lotus Void Step."

call out!
Because of his limited chakra, Hideki didn't dare to continue posing.

He quickly disappeared from the spot, leaving only two crimson marks on the ground, and then he flashed behind Hiashi...

Although a similar scene occurred at the beginning, this time Hideki's speed has increased drastically.

The best proof is that even though he was still in Hiashi's gossip territory, he was not blocked by Hiashi at all.

This means that Hizashi was clearly watching his moving figure, but his brain and body were unable to react in time...

However, when Hideki paused for a moment to stop his steps, Hizashi finally reacted, turned around and elbowed again, and continued his previous attack.

"Thirty-two Bagua Palms!"

Seeing this, Hideki smiled slightly, raised his fist which was surrounded by a strange red airflow, and started to attack Hizashi.

"Red Lotus Fist."

Collapsing palm, elbow strike, fierce kick, iron mountain lean, empty step...

This set of punches is completely different from Hideki's usual restraining style. It is a straightforward and extremely powerful burst of punches, forming a sharp contrast with Hizashi's soft fists, and they collide with each other one after another.

What's even more shocking is that Hideki, who had always been slightly inferior in close combat, is now not losing out even when fighting against Hiashi in the Bagua field.

Especially whenever Hideki ejects bright red chakra beams from acupuncture points such as his elbows, soles of his feet, or back, the subsequent attacks will become faster and more powerful.

Even Hizashi had to temporarily avoid the attack and switch from offense to defense.

That is, he did not fight Hideki, but used the authentic soft fist force-relieving technique to resist the powerful attack...

Is this the so-called second gear, the Red Lotus Fist?
In fact, just now, Hizashi suspected that Hideki was just bluffing.

Because for Hideki's identity as a puppeteer, it is quite remarkable that he can practice his own soft fist to such a level in a short period of time.

As a result, he actually said that as long as the second gear is activated, all physical techniques can be upgraded to a higher level. This is too exaggerated.

Unless Hideki has already mastered the legendary Eight Gates, and even practiced it to the level of four or more gates.

However, after experiencing this strange Red Lotus Fist himself, Hizashi realized that what Hideki said was true.

At this time, Hideki, who was able to fight on equal terms with himself in close combat, seemed to have improved his physical skills by more than one level in the eyes of outsiders. He could be called a master of physical skills.

However, Hiashi knew that was not the case.

Because of his insight into the Bagua field that was compressed to the extreme, he already knew the secret of Hideki's growth.

It's not about the change in his physical skills, but the precise operation of his chakra circulation system...

In Hiashi's vision, he could see how Hideki performed sophisticated breathing techniques, attaching large amounts of chakra to oxygen and then transporting it to various parts of the body.

But what happens next is a little different from the usual breathing method.

Hideki did not allow the large amount of carbon dioxide produced by the high-intensity respiratory reaction to flow back to the lungs with the blood and then be expelled from the mouth and nose.

Instead, under Hideki's intentional control, they gathered and compressed near several key points such as the palms, elbows, soles of the feet, back, etc.

Whenever Hideki launches an attack, he mixes these gases with the chakra in his meridians, and then ejects them from specific acupuncture points in one breath, using their reaction force to increase the speed and strength of the attack.

The secret of the bright red chakra is actually the same as the strange blood-colored air blade before, which is the effect caused by a small amount of blood.

But this doesn't seem to be the full picture of the Red Lotus Fist...

Because Hizashi also discovered that every time Hideki sprayed air from the soles of his feet, he did not seem to use all the reaction force to move at high speed.

Part of the reaction force, under the action of the strange rune device on the soles of his shoes, will pump the chakra on the soles of his feet quickly upwards along other meridian lines like a water pump.

As the heart is to the blood...

Driven by the two foot-shaped water pumps, Hideki's meridian system can run wildly at an unreasonable speed. This looks similar to the water breathing method used by Uchiha Shisui.

However, meridians are highways for chakra circulation, and both the scale of chakra flow and the strengthening effect are more than ten times more powerful than the newly opened branches of blood vessels!
Of course, what comes with it is a huge burden on the body, especially the meridian system.

This made Japanese differences want to complain:
Is Hideki Kimura trying to kill himself?
Why would you use such a dangerous move in a fight?

Hizashi had actually seen a move like this one that accelerated movement by ejecting chakra airflow not long ago.

That is the Boiling Release used by the Five-Tails Jinchuriki.

But even the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, who had a strong regenerative ability, did not use his body as a jet directly. Instead, he put on a steam armor and created a lot of steam in it to speed up his movements.

But Hideki actually just used the chakra that seemed to have undergone a change in the nature of earth escape to strengthen the strength of his meridians, so that he could temporarily withstand the repeated impact of the chakra torrent.

In this way, the system that integrates the breathing system and the meridian system into a new chakra circulation system has finally been completed.

But even though Hizashi had already seen through most of the secrets through his Byakugan, he was only shocked and even terrified in his heart, and had no intention of imitating them at all.

Because even if he just imagined how to maintain this extremely complicated chakra circulation system, Hiashi's scalp would start to tingle.

At this moment, Hideki's body was like the inside of an extremely precise puppet. Every gear had to run perfectly in order to maintain normal operation.

Not to mention that Hideki used it in such a fierce close combat...

genius……

In the face of such an almost impossible feat, the word genius seems pale and powerless.

But this also means that his decision to bet on Hideki was a wise one...

However, Hiashi no longer had time to think about it.

Because this battle has entered a white-hot stage.

Whether it was him who opened the Bagua field, or Hideki who ran the sophisticated chakra circulation system, they were destined not to be able to maintain it for too long.

So after looking at each other, the two seemed to have decided to use their final tricks to decide the winner.

"Soft Boxing Technique·Bagua Sixty-Four Palms!"

"Red Lotus...Empty Steps!"

Who would have thought that Hideki would actually dodge and retreat two meters at the last moment, and then he laughed evilly and said:

"Guren...shoot with the rubber gun!"

Then his arms suddenly grew nearly twice as long, and he used the same rubber series of moves that he had used in his previous sparring with Might Dai, except that they were a version strengthened by the Red Lotus Fist jet.

Hiashi knew something was wrong when he saw this, but it was too late to change his tactics, so he could only continue to use the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms to intercept.

The next moment, his pushing palm and Hideki's fist collided with each other continuously, causing continuous explosions.

However, Hideki's arms were like rubber, so his attack speed increased with elasticity as he continued to punch.

In a short while, its speed had exceeded the upper limit of the daily difference.

For the first time, the palm and fist did not collide.

However, due to his arm span advantage, Hizashi's palm push could not touch Hideki at all, and Hideki's fist hit Hizashi's chest squarely...

Bang!
Hiashi responded by flying backwards.

Naturally, he couldn't complete the sixty-four palms of Bagua, and even the Bagua field, which served as his magic weapon for victory, was difficult for him to maintain.

After falling to the ground, Hizashi realized an incredible fact:

I...actually lost...
