Honkai Impact 3rd: This is how Obito and Rin used it.

Chapter 212 Sunset Challenge

"It's not like you're the only one who can burrow underground."

"Indeed, you have to use your brain to win a war."

As Shenyue Xingyun spoke, she took out some ration pills to replenish her strength.

Checking the system panel, the chakra level was still close to the 20% threshold, and there was no sign of the demonic artifact awakening.

The one who just lured Ai away was his shadow clone. The characteristic of shadow clones not automatically collapsing unless they are seriously injured or more can effectively confuse opponents, and one can also sense the movements of the shadow clones in sync.

Sensing that the shadow clone was carrying Ai further and further away, Shingetsu Seiun lifted himself up and approached Namikaze Minato's battlefield.

From afar, he shouted.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

In an instant, Killer Bee, who was still locked in combat with Minato Namikaze, was jolted awake!

He wielded his longsword, creating an impenetrable wall of blades, then let out a strange cry and quickly retreated.

The fireball, of course, didn't come.

Killer Bee was furious when he realized he had been tricked.

"What's this guy doing here?! Wasn't he being chased by his older brother?"

Seeing that the opponent wasn't releasing fireballs but was simply approaching, Killer Bee thought to himself, "Could this guy be a shadow clone, trying to mess with my mentality?"

In his mind, the solemn voice of the Eight-Tails resounded.

"Compare!"

"This is not a shadow clone."

"What?!" Killer Bee's heart skipped a beat. "Not a shadow clone?"

"Then why didn't he attack me?"

Eight-Tails: "————It could also be to mislead you, making you mistake it for a shadow clone."

"That makes sense." Killer Bee nodded, then shouted, "Signal for retreat! Retreat!"

As he spoke, he quickly distanced himself from Minato Namikaze and Seiun Shingetsu.

Ai had been led away and didn't know when he would return. Facing Shingetsu Seiun and Minato Namikaze alone, he felt utterly unsafe.

The Hidden Clouds have withdrawn.

Minato Namikaze immediately flashed to Shingetsu Seiun's side.

"How is it?"

Shenyue Xingyun gently shook her head: "I'm fine."

"It's just that the consumption is a bit high."

"Oh, right!" Shen Yue Xingyun suddenly remembered something: "My sword broke, can I get it repaired?"

There were a few spare longswords in the storage space, but they were of poor quality—and since this was a loss in the course of his work, it would be best to get them reimbursed if possible.

Minato Namikaze was relieved and smiled, "Logically speaking, ninjas need to maintain their own weapons."

Shenyue Xingyun looked expectant upon hearing this.

In principle, that means it is permissible to violate principles.

Logically speaking, it should be possible to go beyond the norm.

As expected, Minato Namikaze continued, "However, your combat strength is crucial to the situation on the northern front, so we can make an exception."

"The camp should have some important captured supplies, and I remember there was a decent sword. I'll talk to Jonin Yuhi and have her bring it to you."

Just then, Shenyue Xingyun suddenly raised an eyebrow.

Noticing this, Minato Namikaze asked, "What's wrong, Jonin Nebula?"

Shenyue Xingyun snapped out of her daze, smiled, and shook her head: "It's nothing, just some guy got so angry he was jumping up and down."

"Kumakuya probably won't be coming again, let's go."

Back at camp, the first thing Shenyue Xingyun did was eat!

The soldiers' rations didn't taste very good, and after two intense battles in a row, he felt like he was starving.

Fortunately, the camp had prepared food for the ninjas who were going to war, and with the villagers' warm hospitality, Shingetsu Seiun ate a hearty meal.

After the meal, before he could even go back to rest, Minato Namikaze dragged him to the command tent.

Even in the month of Mao (卯月), the setting sun shines.

Compared to before the second battle, Uzuki Yuhi's appearance became more casual, and her eyes showed more fatigue.

Shenyue Xingyun could sense the other's exhaustion.

Upon seeing the two enter, Uzuki Yuhi nodded, her gaze lingering on Shinzuki Seiun's face for a moment before she took out her notebook.

"Let's begin."

Under the questioning gaze of Shingetsu Seiun, Namikaze Minato described the details of the battle one by one, which were recorded by Uzuki Yuhi.

The fighting rhythm of the Cloud Village ninjas, the effectiveness of the Leaf Village's response, and the reactions of the two sides' ninjas after a different signal is sent.

Minato Namikaze acted like an excellent observer, noting down all the information that might be useful and compiling it for Yuhi Uzuki.

After discussing the situation of ordinary ninjas, Minato Namikaze then talked about himself and Seiun Kamizuki.

The substitution tactics of the Cloud Hidden AB combination and their performance in actual combat.

Uzuki Yuhi took notes carefully. After Namikaze Minato finished speaking, she looked up and said, "A's ability is somewhat restrained by the Nebula Jonin."

"My suggestion is that, in the subsequent battles, Lord Minato, you must do your best to control the pace of the battle."

"You deal with A, and the Jonin of Nebula will deal with the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki."

Minato Namikaze nodded: "That's what I think too."

He looked at Shingetsu Seiun and said, "Seiun Jonin."

"In the coming period, if possible, we should practice our teamwork more."

"I can give you more of my Flying Thunder God kunai. If you use them properly, dealing with the two of them shouldn't be too difficult."

Shenyue Nebula had no objections.

"no problem."

He also discovered that he was doing well against Killer Bee, but against A, he was consistently at a disadvantage.

Ultimately, it comes down to a lack of comprehensive strength.

The combination of Lv3 swordsmanship and Lv3 chakra burning technique is enough to barely reach Kage level. However, against a pure close-combat Kage-level powerhouse like A, the endurance is still insufficient.

1.2 chakra is not a small amount among Jonin or even elite Jonin, but it is not enough against Kage-level and Jinchuriki.

As for the Lv4 Great Fireball, it's also a Kage-level technique. It's just that its effectiveness is somewhat lacking.

Its scale and burst potential are good, giving it an advantage against groups of enemies or large opponents, but it is somewhat limited against powerful individuals like Ai.

The power is not concentrated enough!

These are also the two bottlenecks in his current strength: the amount of chakra and the powerful ninjutsu with concentrated attacks.

To have a better chance of dealing with the AB combination, the fastest way is to practice well with Minato Namikaze.

After the three discussed it for a while, Shenyue Xingyun finally returned to her tent, washed up thoroughly, and her fatigue was relieved considerably.

As I was drying my hair, I heard the sound of the setting sun outside.

"Nebula Jonin"

"Is it convenient for me to come in?"

"Please come in." Shenyue Xingyun thought the other party had come to deliver the precious sword, so she hurriedly responded.

The setting sun of the month of Mao (卯月) entered the camp.

Shenyue Xingyun looked at her hands and then realized with confusion that she wasn't holding a sword.

Unaware of his thoughts, Uzuki Yuhi saw him drying his hair and asked, "Just finished showering?"

"Hmm." Shingetsu Seiun said, "Jonin Yuhi, did you come to see me about something?"

The setting sun of Maoyue nodded.

Her gaze lingered on Shenyue Xingyun's face, which was still slightly damp, before she spoke.

"Nebula Jonin"

"That's right—what I'm about to do has absolutely nothing to do with my regular job."

"This was entirely my personal action."

"If you feel uncomfortable, you can stop at any time."

"I hope you don't mind."

Shenyue Xingyun frowned in confusion.

What and what?

Why didn't he understand?

Just as I was wondering, the setting sun of Uzuki walked forward with steady steps.

He bent his knees, stretched out his arms, and assumed a fighting stance.

Shingetsu Nebula: "!!!!"
