Naruto: I, Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan Princess

Chapter 111 Breaking the Lightning (5k)

Training Ground Zero, Eastern Region.

As the sun sets, the light in the woods does not dim.

Lightning chases the raging wind, and speed and agility engage in their ultimate showdown here.

Zizizi! !

High-voltage lightning strikes the air, producing a pungent, acrid smell.

The hand, crackling with lightning, seemed to vibrate like a blade at high frequency. The fierce hand strike, accentuated by Yotsuki Yu's strong physique, resembled a giant axe descending from the sky, slashing fiercely towards Kazama Etsu.

Thunder-torture level Chiyomai!
The Yoruzuki clan's taijutsu secret techniques combined with Lightning Release chakra mode.

Concentrate lightning on the outer side of the palm and vibrate it at a high frequency to deliver a devastating blow to the enemy with power exceeding ten times that of a normal attack.

Ordinary people must jump up first and use the acceleration of gravity to use it, but thanks to his exceptionally tall stature, Yotsuki Yu only needs to stand on the ground. It was his signature skill that made him famous in his youth.

The number of lives lost under his high-pressure hand chop is countless.

Faced with such a terrifying attack, Kazama performed hand seals with what appeared to be slow speed.

Wind Release: Wind Instantaneous Movement.

call!
Kazama Etsuki's slightly thinner body compared to Yozuki Yu's suddenly transformed into a harmless breeze, ruthlessly slashing away the afterimages with a vicious hand chop, but could only accept such a result.

Yozuki Yuu pouted regretfully, then turned to look at Kazama Etsuki, who had somehow circled behind him.

"You run really fast, Wind Release kid."

Kazama Etsu didn't answer, his murderous gaze fixed firmly on Yozuki Yu's body, his hand seals never ceasing.

hum!
The unique hum of Wind Release resounded in front of him.

The rapidly passing vacuum slash swept through the forest and slashed fiercely towards Yotsuki Yu's chest.

Clang!
He was struck in the left chest by a wind-style slash, producing a piercing metallic clang.

Rumble!
The sturdy banyan tree, affected by the wind blast, tilted outwards and crashed to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

In the yellowish-brown dust.

Ye Yuexiong revealed a cold smile.

The muscles in his chest were clearly defined, and Kazama Etsu's ninjutsu only left a white mark on his chest.

As Kazama looked at Yozuki's indifferent expression, his dark green pupils grew even darker.

Fragments of painful memories churned in his mind, and the towering figure flashing with lightning seemed to bring him back to that nightmarish battlefield.

……

It was a terrible encounter.

Their third squad, as a patrol team on the battlefield between Konoha and Kumogakure, was ordered to patrol the southern war zone. He could no longer recall the details of how the battle took place or how they encountered each other.

He had even forgotten how he escaped the enemy's pursuit and how he was rescued.

In the fragmented memories, only that one image remains.

"Yue! Kill him!!"

The kind and introverted best friend, dragging his intestines all over the ground, clung tightly to the enemy's legs, looking at him hopefully.

The girl, her chest and abdomen pierced by an arm, used jujitsu to lock her enemy's throat; lightning turned her body into charred remains, her beautiful face contorted into a grotesque ghost.

"Only your Wind Release technique can cut through lightning! Do it now!"

"Do not……"

"Do it! Kill him!"

"You will..."

"I told you to do it!!!"

Urged on by his companions in despair, he used the only ninjutsu he knew at the time!
Wind Release: Vacuum Wave Slash.

hum!
An invisible wave sliced ​​through the bodies of teammates and enemies.

Lei Guang and his teammates' severed limbs flew everywhere.

The enemy, unharmed under the protection of Lightning Release; the scattered remains of comrades, writhing in agony on the ground; the mentor, fallen in despair and incapacitated...

The still young Kazama sat blankly on the ground, looking lost and helpless.

Painful memories flooded back, and long-dormant recollections were stirred up by Ye Yuexiong, like a flood that had been pent up for years pouring out all at once.

Yozuki Yu's body seemed to overlap with his nightmarish enemy, and for a moment, he felt as if he were being crushed by a dream from which there was no way to escape.

"How dare you be distracted when fighting me!"

The enemy's roar exploded in his ears, and Yotsuki Yu, who had activated his Lightning Release Armor, closed in again with his hand blade.

The swiftly approaching hand chop, accompanied by a strong gust of wind, made Kazama Etsu's expression tighten.

The hands trigger muscle memory to quickly form hand seals.

call!
The Wind Instant Body technique, which had been honed to the bone, saved him once again. His body transformed into a gentle breeze, nimbly dodging Yotsuki's high-speed attacks.

"hiss!"

Its body manifests in the distance.

Kazama clutched his chest in anguish.

Look down.

The flesh on his chest had turned charred black and had become one with his clothes.

The dark red flesh looked extremely eerie, and you could even faintly smell a meaty aroma.

Despite the pain, Kazama stared intently at the enemy.

Yotsuki Yu's Lightning Chakra Mode was simply too powerful. His body was only grazed by the highly concentrated Lightning Release, and before he could even touch the opponent's hand strike, he was already burned by the concentrated electric current.

Move your arms.

The electric current will temporarily paralyze the nerves.

The charred wound closed naturally without bleeding, which was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Confirming that the horrific injury to his chest did not impair his movements, Kazama Etsu once again used the Wind Blink to dodge the incoming lightning kunai.

boom!
The kunai, imbued with the penetrating power of lightning, pierced through the gale and then smashed through countless tree trunks, disappearing from sight.

"Breathe, breathe..."

Kazama Etsu appeared on a gentle breeze, breathing heavily, his chest heaving rapidly.

Under the enemy's relentless and fierce attacks, his physical strength was rapidly depleted, and the burning sensation on his skin and the faint pain in his sternum caused him to break out in a cold sweat.

The Wind Instantaneous Body Technique was a special skill he practiced specifically to counter the Cloud Village's high-speed taijutsu.

Through years of practice, he has made the ability to move instantly in the wind an instinct.

It doesn't require any thought from the brain.

Whenever danger is encountered, the body will automatically form hand seals, quickly and steadily.

Back when he fought against Hui Li, if he hadn't underestimated his opponent and been careless, that outrageous guy, no matter how strong, wouldn't have been able to hurt a single hair on his head.

But at this point, his situation was not good.

The enemy's high-speed attacks were relentless, each one capable of cleaving this 'delicate and frail' ninjutsu-type ninja in two.

The opponent used taijutsu, which consumed less chakra, while Kazama Koshi used pure ninjutsu.

The consumption is on a completely different scale.

His chakra had been almost completely depleted by Yotsuki Yu's relentless pursuit.

Ordinary wind-style attacks are no match for the enemy's defenses. In this situation, he will either exhaust his chakra through continuous attacks or have no choice but to go all out.

That's the only way!

Kazama's eyes hardened, and an unfamiliar hand seal appeared in his hand.

"Oh? You're not running anymore?"

Tread...  

Night Moon Hero stepped on the despairing blue light, his magnificent body casting a tower-like shadow on the ground under the sunlight.

Kazama Etsu's struggles were nothing but a futile charade in his eyes.

The Lightning Release Armor's defensive power was far beyond what an ordinary Jonin like him could break through. If it weren't for the fact that his opponent was skilled in the slippery Wind Release, this farce would have ended long ago.

I wonder how things are going with 'The Beast'?

We need to get rid of this annoying fly as soon as possible. Capturing the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and the Byakugan bloodline user is more important. There's no need to waste time on this Wind Release ninja.

"Since you're not planning to run away anymore..."

The lightning shone even brighter on Yozuki's dark skin. He straightened his arm, pointing four fingers at Kazama Yue, his whole body like a fully drawn bowstring, exuding a terrifying sense of oppression.

"This move will finish you off!"

"That's exactly what I wanted to say, you scum of the Cloud Village!" Kazama Etsu's robes fluttered, and a gale was rapidly gathering as he flipped his hand seals.

That was the only Wind Release ninjutsu he ever developed in his life.

His determination!

At this moment, the setting sun on the horizon is like blood.

The forest was filled with thunder and lightning.

Two figures stood facing each other across the open space, their chakra surging wildly in a tangible form.

Yotsuki Yu had a mission to Kumogakure that couldn't be delayed, and Kazama Etsu's chakra was about to run out, so he had to use a killing move. The two made the same decision for different reasons.

One move determines the outcome.

Kazama Etsu's eyes were like knives, as if he wanted to cut a bloody hole in Yozuki Yuu in front of him. The chakra in his heart was continuously transformed into sharp wind release and attached to his hands.

"Deal with me? With your pathetic Wind Release technique?"

Ye Yuexiong chuckled.

His disdain was palpable.

As an elite Jonin who once served as the Third Hokage's bodyguard, he couldn't even remember how many ordinary Jonin like Kazama Koshi had killed.

There are many people in this world who can break the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, but this piece of trash in front of me is definitely not one of them.

"Try it and you'll see, this is a special technique developed specifically for you!"

Kazama Etsu's eyes were resolute.

The scene of the Hidden Cloud Battlefield played out endlessly in his dreams, but he was no longer the same naive man he once was. His mastery of Wind Release techniques, which he had maintained for decades without ever letting up, was something the naive man of his youth could never match.

My heart is pumping wildly.

Chakra, thicker than blood, surged from the meridians.

Rumble!
The condensed wind-style chakra swirled around his arms, even emitting a terrifying rumble of thunder. This was...

Ye Yuexiong's eyes narrowed.

He had never seen the wind-style ninjutsu his opponent used before, but the extreme nature of the technique made his sensitive nerves, honed by years of fighting, tense up.

This sharp, dangerous feeling...

Yozuki Yu's body kept sending warning signals, followed by an intense feeling of excitement.

As everyone knows, the Yotsuki clan of Kumogakure are all battle maniacs.

He is still considered one of the best among them.

The old and heavy body seemed to surge with new vitality under the stimulation of Wind Release. The lightning of the activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode gathered at his fingers, and the dazzling lightning was even more dazzling than before.

Yozuki Yu's expression was serious, and the piercing hand, symbolizing the strongest spear, had already locked onto Kazama Etsu's figure.

Hell Thrust·Four-hand Penetration!

The Third Raikage's signature technique, even the mighty Eight-Tails would succumb to its sharpness. Since mastering this secret technique, Yotsuki Yu has never suffered a defeat.

"To die by this move is the greatest honor of your life."

Kazama Koshi was too weak to speak at this point.

He controlled the raging wind-style attack, attaching it to his arms and forming two enormous tornadoes.

This is a wind-style ninjutsu he developed on his own, representing the ultimate transformation in form and nature. The difficulty of learning this technique has reached S-rank.

blah blah...

The violent winds slashed Kazama Koshi's arm, leaving numerous fine cuts.

Blood splattered.

Kazama endured the pain and pushed his Wind Release technique to its limits.

"So it was just an unfinished ninjutsu?"

Ye Yuexiong shook his head in disappointment.

My initial excitement vanished after seeing the wound on Kazama Etsu's hand.

Ninja battles are not child's play. Using unfinished ninjutsu against an enemy is like going to the battlefield with an unforged blade; you won't even know how you died.

"Ugh!"

Yozuki Yu's contempt ignited Kazama Etsu's fighting spirit, eliciting a painful roar.

Veins popped out on his forehead.

hum!
The tornado contracted with a terrifying buzzing sound, transforming into a rapidly spinning, slender spindle shape. The skin on its arm peeled away inch by inch, and the rapidly spinning wind blast was stained red with blood.

The Wind Release ninjutsu that had been impossible to complete was miraculously executed under Yotsuki Yu's immense pressure.

Of course, the price was also incredibly high.

The scarlet muscle fibers were exposed to the air, and the tissue fluid and yellow fat had mixed with the blood.

Seeing the astonishing scene, Ye Yuexiong's eyes no longer held any contempt.

He had already acknowledged the enemy's strength and determination.

"Wind Release brat, tell me your name?"

"you do not need to know!"

Kazama's dark green pupils turned red; the rapid depletion of chakra and massive blood loss from his body brought on an indescribable fatigue.

Yozuki Yuu was unconcerned about Kazama Etsu's hostility; in his heart, only power could earn his respect.

Kazama Koshi undoubtedly possesses such qualifications.

Konoha is truly a land of outstanding people and resources; even a teacher at the Ninja Academy possesses such a powerful Wind Release technique.

"At least tell me the name of this ninjutsu."

Yozuki Yu pointed four fingers at Kazama Etsu's body, a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "Before I kill you!"

"This move... originally didn't have a name... huff huff..."

Kazama was breathing rapidly, his lungs heaving like bellows.

"That's such a shame."

Lightning Release chakra transformed into a blinding white light at his fingertips. Under the illumination of the lightning, Yotsuki Yu, who had gathered all his power, could no longer be recognized.

"Now it has a name."

The head of the blood-red wind shuttle in his hand tightened, indicating that the final transformation was complete.

"Wind Release—"

The crimson shuttle roared as it slammed down fiercely towards Ye Yuexiong!
"Thunderbolt Shuttle!!!"

Kazama Kotsu spoke slowly and deliberately, almost shouting out the last word "shuttle." The terrifying, blood-red shuttle resembled a drill, distorting the very air with the force of its escape.

"Good timing!!!"

Hell Thrust - Four-Point Piercing Hand!!!

Facing Kazama's attack, Yozuki roared fearlessly, and the lightning release he had already prepared was suddenly activated.

Between the electric light and flint.

The two blood-red shuttles collided fiercely with the lightning spear!
boom!
Thunder and lightning raged.

Countless banyan trees were cut down and burned to charcoal, whipping up a thunderstorm-like gale that nearly overturned the entire forest.

Buzz! ! !

The violently spinning shuttle continuously drilled into the sharp spear.

Zizizi!
A piercing noise echoed through the space, and under the attack of extremely concentrated lightning chakra, the crimson tornado was already showing signs of collapse.

"You're not qualified to break through the lightning!"

Yoruzuki Yu grinned maliciously, continuously channeling his powerful chakra into his fingertips.

The terrifying lightning strike, like a steel needle, pierced deep into the center of the tornado.

Visible to the naked eye.

The crimson lightning shuttle began to dissipate.

An unfinished ninjutsu could never defeat the legendary strongest spear.

"Ahhh!"

Kazama Etsu's furious roar echoed through the mountains and forests, seemingly drowning out even the sounds of wind and thunder.

How could he allow that.

The same scene from years ago has repeated itself!!!
Willpower breaks through physiological limits, and mental power injects chakra seeds like a storm, constantly drawing energy from the body to synthesize them.

"I will not lose again..."

His dark green eyes were bloodshot.

Squeak!
The crimson shuttle's rotation speed increased again, and its color turned into a dazzling black and red. The flesh and bones of its arms began to separate, and the violent wind-style chakra could no longer be controlled, causing a backlash against Kazama Kotsu.

"I approve of this decision, kid! I'm going to grant you the most perfect execution!!"

Moved by Kazama Etsu's madness, Yozuki Yu gathered all his chakra in his palm with red eyes, determined to crush Kazama Etsu's last bit of power!

It's now!

Kazama's crazed eyes suddenly cleared, and his blood-red shuttle abruptly changed direction, dodging Yotsuki's piercing hand and striking his left chest instead.

He was never blinded by anger.

The enemy's ninjutsu is a highly concentrated lightning spear. The more chakra gathered in the hands, the stronger the attack. However, the chakra in the same body will be reduced, and the defense will be greatly weakened.

You can never have both a spear and a shield.

boom!
The misaligned wind and thunder struck the target simultaneously, and the two figures separated in an instant, with the violent wind and thunder, along with bone and blood, splashing in the air.

The jungle suddenly fell silent.

Tick ​​tock!

Tick ​​tock!

Blood gushed from the wound, and the horrifying scar on Yotsuki's chest was torn open again by the wind-escape technique.

thump!
Kazama Koshi's body swayed and fell down. Both of his arms had disappeared, with only charred bones showing from the base of his shoulders.

"What a disappointment. I take back what I said earlier."

Zizi!

Lightning crackled onto his hands, burning and healing the lacerations on his chest.

Yozuki looked at Kazama Etsu lying on the ground, his face full of regret.

Everyone says that wind beats thunder.

He still longed to test his skills against Kazama Koshi's unfamiliar Wind Release technique.

Unfortunately, Kazama Koshi suddenly changed his attack, targeting his old chest wound, intending to take him down with him. He could only counter by changing his own hand technique to a chop, severing both of Kazama Koshi's arms at the root and stopping his attack.

"Uh...ahem..."

Kazama Koshi, who was lying on the ground, struggled to get up using his two legs.

Losing his arm not only prevented him from using ninjutsu, but he also lost his balance while standing normally, falling down several times and unable to get up.

In the end, he could only collapse to the ground, leaning against the fallen tree trunk, struggling to catch his breath.

"You don't even have the courage to fight head-on, yet you want to break through lightning? How laughable." After treating his wounds, Yozuki Yu gathered lightning in his hands and walked towards Kazama Eishi.

"Whoosh..."

The massive blood loss had left Kazama Etsu in a daze, his dark green eyes gazing up at the sky.

The fiery red sunset filled my eyes, like a splash of blood in jade.

"I am no longer... huff... the boy on the battlefield back then."

I'm a teacher at the Ninja Academy now. Neither my obsession with breaking lightning... nor your approval... cough cough... is of any importance to my students..."

Kazama Etsu gazed at the setting sun on the horizon, lost in thought, and murmured to himself.

His emerald green pupils had already become unfocused.

Seeing that the enemy had already fainted and the lightning in his hand had dissipated, Ye Yuexiong also looked up at the sky.

The setting sun had almost completely disappeared, leaving only a few lingering rays, and the giant bird circling in the sky had already shown him the way.

He has already wasted too much time on this man, and once it gets dark and the elephant bird loses its guidance, he probably won't be able to pinpoint the Nine-Tailed Fox's whereabouts on his own.

We can't delay any longer!
