Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Chapter 197 Take it all away

A large ninja sword covered with explosive tags appeared in Hozuki Mangetsu's hand.

"Let's see how you hide!"

Hozuki Mangetsu burst out of the thick fog, brandishing his explosive sword and slamming it down fiercely at Aoba.

Rumble!

Violent explosions echoed through the forest, and flames shot into the sky.

The moment the blade touched the ground, countless explosive tags detonated simultaneously!

The violent explosion sent up clouds of dust, and the terrifying shockwave instantly destroyed the surrounding trees.

However, when the smoke and dust cleared...

Hozuki Mangetsu discovers that the center of the explosion is empty.

Are you looking for me?

Aoba's voice suddenly came from the tree branch above his head.

Hozuki Mangetsu suddenly looked up and saw Aoba standing on the tree trunk, looking down at him with a mocking gaze.

"That damned bastard!"

Aoba's mocking attitude enraged Hozuki Mangetsu, who then switched weapons again.

This time, he summoned the blunt sword, Helmeppo.

With an axe and a hammer, it is said to be able to break through any defense.

"Smash it!"

Man Yue leaped high into the air, slamming the large hammer in her hand down onto the back of the blade, bringing immense force as she cleaved towards Qing Ye's head.

Qingye's eyes flickered slightly. Instead of taking the hit head-on, he flashed away and instantly retreated more than ten meters away.

Boom!

The blunt knife struck the ground, creating a huge crater, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading outwards.

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

Hozuki Mangetsu, leaning on his blunt sword, stared intently at the composed Aoba not far away, a sense of unease finally rising in his heart.

He tried three different ninja swords, but couldn't even touch the hem of his opponent's clothes! This bespectacled guy is definitely not an ordinary ninja!

"Have you had enough fun, kid?"

Aoba pushed up his glasses, his tone slightly mocking.

With a flick of his wrist, a sealing scroll appeared in his hand, accompanied by a puff of white smoke, and two peculiar ninja swords flashing with blue and white electric arcs appeared in his hand.

It is none other than Thunder Blade Fang!

Upon seeing the Raiden, Hozuki Mangetsu's eyes instantly lit up.

"Thunder Blade Fang! It was indeed in your hands!"

Full Moon excitedly licked her lips.

However, Aoba revealed a strange smile.

Have you ever considered one possibility?

Aoba toyed with the Thunder Blade in his hand, his tone playful, "You thought you discovered the Thunder Blade's whereabouts, but actually—I deliberately let you discover it."

"What?!"

Full Moon's pupils contracted.

Just then, Man Yue was horrified to discover that another Aoba had appeared beside him at some point.

"When?!"

In the palm of Aoba's right hand, he was holding a rapidly spinning blue chakra ball.

Rasengan!

Without any hesitation, Aoba raised the Rasengan and smashed it directly at Hozuki Mangetsu's face!

Faced with this fatal blow that was within reach, a hint of disdainful mockery flashed in Hozuki Mangetsu's eyes.

boom!

A burst of violent chakra erupted instantly, and the powerful rotational force tore Man Yue's body apart!

However, the expected scene of carnage did not materialize.

The moment they made contact, Hozuki Mangetsu's entire head, and even most of his body, turned into a puddle of water that splashed everywhere!

Aoba's arm passed right through Manyue's head and struck empty air.

The water droplets gathered again, and Hozuki Mangetsu's head was the first to emerge.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Full Moon laughed triumphantly, her eyes full of disdain and mockery, "Outsider, you're still too naive!"

"Our Hozuki clan's water transformation technique grants immunity to all attacks!"

"Your ninjutsu is ineffective against me!"

Seeing Man Yue's arrogant demeanor, Qing Ye did not show any sign of annoyance.

Instead, a brighter smile appeared on his lips.

"Oh, really?"

Aoba's voice was soft, yet it carried a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

Full Moon's laughter stopped abruptly as he suddenly felt an unusual chill in his abdomen.

He lowered his head, his eyes widening in disbelief.

Before he knew it, Aoba's true form had appeared beside him like a ghost, and the lightning-sparkling Thunder Blade Fang had already deeply pierced his abdomen!

"you----"

Full Moon opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't even make a sound.

"The Water Transformation Technique is indeed a very troublesome ability. It grants immunity to physical attacks and can even protect against most ninjutsu damage."

Aoba said softly, "But don't you know that water conducts electricity?"

Sizzle!!

A burst of violent blue-white lightning erupted from the blade of the Thunder Blade Fang, illuminating the dim forest as bright as day.

Hozuki Mangetsu let out a painful groan. Even while enduring such intense electric shocks, the little devil never gave up resisting.

He struggled to raise his hand to try and grab the thunder knife that was piercing his abdomen, his purple eyes revealing madness.

"What a difficult kid!"

Looking at the way Man Yue was struggling so desperately, Aoba couldn't help but mutter a curse in his heart.

As expected of Kirigakure!

If it weren't for the fact that he happened to get the Raito Kiba, subduing Hozuki Mangetsu, that watery brat, would not have been an easy task.

This water-based technique is truly shameless.

Of course, this is also related to his own terrible lightning release skills.

The reason he could generate such a powerful electric current was purely due to the inherent characteristics of the Raito Kiba, rather than his own mastery of lightning techniques.

"Excellent, very strong willpower!"

Aoba pushed up his glasses and praised.

He originally only wanted to draw some blood, but now it seems he appreciates Hozuki Mangetsu's talent even more.

It's important to know that in the original future, Hozuki Suigetsu, the younger brother of Mangetsu, was a formidable character who could use water transformation techniques to withstand the Eight-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball head-on.

As a genius older brother who is even more talented than Shuiyue, Manyue's achievements should be even greater.

It's a pity he died young. Rather than leaving him in the Hidden Mist Village to be abused, it's better to take him with him.

"You'll thank me in the future!"

Aoba maintained the lightning output of the Lightning Blade with his left hand, while slowly raising his right hand, his five fingers glowing with pale blue chakra.

Hozuki Mangetsu seemed to sense something and tried desperately to break free, but his body, continuously being infused with lightning, was unable to react effectively.

"Five Elements Seal!"

Aoba's right hand landed precisely on Hozuki Mangetsu's abdomen.

Snapped!

Five black sealing techniques spread rapidly, tightly locking down the flow of chakra within Man Yue's body.

With the chakra channels forcibly sealed, Hozuki Mangetsu's body, which had been fluctuating between liquid and solid states, reverted back to its original flesh and blood form.

At the same time, Aoba took the opportunity to draw his Thunder Blade.

The hydration state was forced to be lifted.

Full Moon's eyelids drooped heavily, her purple pupils lost focus, and she collapsed to the ground.

He fainted.

Aoba glanced down at the unconscious Hozuki Mangetsu on the ground, and a slight smirk appeared on his lips.

This kid may have a bad temper, but he's definitely talented.

It's a pity that I was born in a place like Kirigakure.

Aoba bit her thumb, then slapped her hands together on the ground in a mudra.

"Spiritual communication!"

A puff of white smoke dissipated, and a huge, psychic lizard appeared before them.

Open your mouth.

Aoba picked up Hozuki Mangetsu from the ground, and also picked up Raito Kiba and the ninja sword scroll from Mangetsu's waist.

The lizard obediently opened its gaping maw, and Qingye stuffed the full moon and the spoils into its mouth, then patted its head.

"Send this brat, along with all of these, to my other self."

The lizard closed its mouth, nodded, and then disappeared into white smoke with a "bang".

"Finally done."

After finishing all this, Aoba dusted off his hands and looked toward the border of the Land of Water.

"Now, there's only one last thing left!"

Qingye's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

Less than ten minutes after Aoba left, a group of masked Kirigakure ANBU rushed to the forest that had been ravaged by the battle.

"A fierce battle took place here!"

"There are residual traces of Lightning Release chakra—it's the Lightning Blade, Kiba!"

The leader of the dark forces frowned deeply as he looked at the scorch marks and broken trees scattered on the ground.

"This is a technique of the Hozuki clan—it's the Hozuki Full Moon!"

"Chase!"

However, they were destined to find nothing.

Soon after, the Hozuki clan was in an uproar.

The clan's proudest genius, Hozuki Mangetsu, has gone missing.

Along with that secret scroll that could summon the seven ninja swords.

When the news reached the upper echelons of Kirigakure, the entire village was shaken.

But all of this is no longer relevant to Aoba.

Several days later, on a battlefield in the southern sea of ​​the Land of Water.

Boom boom boom boom!

A massive water-style ninjutsu shot into the sky, uprooting the surrounding trees.

Dozens of members of the Mist Shadow Guard moved through the forest like ghosts, chasing after the two figures.

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

Kakashi was panting heavily, his signature short silver hair soaked with sweat and blood.

A hideous scar ran across his left eye, while the Sharingan that originally belonged to Obito was spinning wildly, trying to see the movements of the enemies around him.

Beside him was Nohara Rin, who also looked solemn.

"I can be your eyes, to see what will happen after this—"

"Kakashi, Rin, I'm counting on you—"

Obito's dying words kept flashing through Kakashi's mind.

Kakashi gritted his teeth, a resolute glint in his eyes.

Without the slightest hesitation, he quickly formed hand seals again.

Chou-mao-shen!

"Chidori!"

A piercing cry suddenly shattered the silence of the forest!

A dazzling blue-white lightning bolt gathered wildly in Kakashi's right hand, and the violent chakra even tore a hole in the surrounding thick fog.

He wanted to break through this defense; he wanted to get Lin out of here alive!

Kakashi suddenly exerted force with his feet, and his whole body shot towards the Hidden Mist Anbu directly in front of him like an arrow.

However, at this critical moment...

A petite figure suddenly leaped out of the smoke from the side, and with a resolute posture, crashed straight into the Chidori in Kakashi's hand, which was flashing with deadly lightning!

puff!

The sharp lightning blade pierced through the girl's chest without any resistance.
