Chapter 153 Even the Water Shadow Can't Be Stopped! (10,000-word update, please subscribe and vote!)

The Wind Release: Rasenshuriken was expanding rapidly, but even without Juzo Biwa's warning, Raiga Kurosuki and the others sensed the danger.

With such strong chakra, they're not blind.

One by one, the figures retreated rapidly, but the expanding sphere of light was also moving extremely fast. Just as it was about to be swallowed up, the seven people all made their moves.

Black Hoe Raiga's twin blades erupted with lightning, colliding with the sweeping force. As they exploded, Black Hoe used the momentum to tumble and fly backward at an even faster speed.

The man holding the blunt sword "Dog Cut" cleaved down with an axe, followed by a massive hammer in his left hand. The terrifying force exploded and collided with the power of the spiral shuriken. Like the man holding the black shokuchi reiga, he was also sent flying by the recoil.

Meanwhile, Kushimaru Kurishari, holding a sewing needle and wearing a mask, seemed to have been prepared all along, as a long steel wire wrapped around a tree carried him away at high speed.

Suigetsu Hozuki was the slowest. Seeing that he couldn't escape, he immediately drew his bandaged sword Samehada. As the bandages burst open, Samehada stretched out and slashed down fiercely, actually cutting through the power emanating from the expanding Rasenshuriken.

There's also Jinpachi Murashi, wielding the explosive sword "Hisashi," whose sword, when unfolded, reveals a scroll covered in explosive tags.

Boom boom boom!

The flames merged into one, forcefully shattering the power of the expanding spiral shuriken through an explosion.

Shuichi, standing in the sky, took it all in.

But what surprised him the most was the Seven Heroes, the one he was least familiar with, the one wielding the twin swords "Hiramekarei".

As the bandages fluttered, the twin swords [Hiramekarei] were released. The strange blades, which looked like two fan-shaped blades stacked together, suddenly burst out with powerful chakra, forming a chakra ball. As it fell, it was like a giant hammer formed from condensed chakra crashing down.

boom!

The entire expanding sphere of light paused, then collapsed with a roar, followed by a storm that swept outwards.

But the storm was not actually very dangerous.

"This guy is probably the strongest..."

Hoshino Hideichi's gaze sharpened, and taking advantage of the raging storm, he waved his hands, scattering a large number of Flying Thunder God Kunai.

Meanwhile, Might Guy, who had already opened seven gates in one go, forcefully charged into the storm, using his powerful strength to strike Kusano Eren with a leg slash like a knife.

Tongcao Yeren retreated, and as the storm tore the earth apart, dust and smoke billowed up. He swung his axe with his right hand at Matt Dai, while his iron hammer followed closely behind.

But Might Day opened the seven gates much faster than he expected. In a flash, Might Day was already behind Kusanagi.

Tongcao Yeren twisted his wrist, and the axe swung around and chopped behind him.

The next moment, with a loud bang, Tongcao Yeyan was sent flying, crashing into a tree before landing on the ground, spitting blood and unable to stand up. His sword and hammer were scattered on the ground.

The storm had passed, and fog began to appear all around, quickly thickening.

The technique of concealing oneself in mist!

Suddenly, a long needle shot out from the ground and aimed straight at Matt Day from behind.

Unfortunately, the dense fog had little effect on Hoshino Shizuka, who possessed heat vision. He drew his sword with his right hand, and the blue-flamed Kusanagi shot towards Kurihara Kushimaru, who was attempting to ambush Might Guy.

"Thousand Blades!"

With a loud shout, accompanied by a thunderous roar, lightning descended from the sky, tearing through the thick fog and heading straight for Hoshino Shuichi.

In Hoshino Shuichi's vision, the chakra of the twin swords [Hiramekarei] surged once again, and the chakra spheres extended outwards, like giant blades of light.

Swish!

Hoshino Hideichi's figure vanished from the sky and appeared on a Flying Thunder God Kunai, but immediately afterward, his twin swords [Hiramekarei] came whistling through the air.

At the same time, Kushimaru Kurihara abandoned his sneak attack on Might Guy and dodged the flying Kusanagi.

Hoshinoichi's figure disappeared again, dodging the twin swords [Hiramekarei], and appeared next to the Ame-no-Murakuto. He grabbed the sword with his right hand and swung it, unleashing a blue crescent-shaped Blue Flame Vacuum Slash that shot out straight for Kushimaru.

Hozuki Senjin, wielding the twin swords "Hiramekarei," suddenly appeared in front of Kurihara Kushimaru and swung his swords again.

Rumble!

The Blue Flame Vacuum Slash exploded, forming a raging firestorm.

A whooshing sound came from behind Hoshino Shizuka, as countless senbon needles swept in.

It is the needle needle of Suigetsu Hozuki, which is fast and covers a very wide area.

But before the shot could hit, Hoshino Shuichi had already disappeared.

At the same time, Jinpachi Murashi, wielding the explosive sword [Foam], swung his greatsword, unfurling the scroll to surround Might Guy.

Before the explosion could occur, Might Guy had already taken to the air, shouting, "You're dead!"

Muri Jinba wielded his sword, the unfurled scroll flying up and swirling towards Might Guy, while lightning struck down from the sky at the same time.

It's the Black Hoshino Raiga who's always been there to assist in unleashing map-wide attacks!

Matt Day was struck by the lightning, and his body froze in mid-air.

However, the scroll that was rolling toward Matt Dee was suddenly cut off by a burst of blazing white light.

Wu Li Shenba was alert and immediately dodged. But while he was in mid-air, his body was suddenly cleaved in two by a beam of light that shot towards him.

Bury him!

Kurozuki Raiga roared, and lightning bolts like tree branches enveloped Hoshino Shuichi, who was emitting a fiery dragon's breath.

Lightning is fast, but Hoshino Shuichi's reaction speed is even faster.

The problem of Wuli Shenba was solved, and it disappeared before the lightning struck the body.

"Uncle Dai, are you alright?"

Show Akai appeared next to Might Day.

"fine!"

Might Guy shook his head. Although the attack he had just received had paralyzed his body, he had now recovered.

Hoshino Shuichi reached out and pressed his hand on Might Guy's shoulder, leaving the Flying Thunder God mark, then looked at the remaining four.

Hozuki Senjin, Suigetsu Hobuki, Kurosuki Raiga, and Kurihara Kushimaru.

Juzo Biwa was crippled by the Rasenshuriken, Jinpachi Murashi was split in two by the Flame Dragon Breath, and Kusabi no Uta was crippled by Might Guy's kick.

But none of these people were weak, and they cooperated very closely.

Raiga Kurosuki's Lightning Release has speed and range, Suigetsu Hozuki has close combat, and there's also the wide-coverage, fast-moving Hair Needle Senbon.

Hozuki Senjin's sword is the strongest. Hoshino Shuichi estimated that the Rasenshuriken in its normal state could definitely be sliced ​​away with a single strike.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke and his team deserved their defeat!

Meanwhile, on the opposite side, Hozuki Senjin and his three companions, shrouded in mist, also wore extremely solemn expressions.

Along their journey, the only ones they could arguably be considered adversaries were the former Konoha ANBU squad.

But they still won a great victory.

But unexpectedly, three people have already been lost in the short time since the battle began.

Not only is the renowned Shuichi Hoshino incredibly strong, but that scruffy-bearded uncle is also extremely formidable.

"As expected of Konoha's Blue Flash!"

"That speed is faster than lightning..."

Raiga Kurosu spoke, his gaze fixed on Shuichi Hoshino.

Even in the thick fog, Hoshino Shuichi's stylish outfit couldn't be hidden.

"I'm increasingly wanting to throw you a magnificent funeral!"

Kurosuki Raiga, his expression grave yet growing increasingly excited, declared, "You deserve a funeral I'd give my life for!"

He then turned and shouted, "Qianren, you guys need to seize this opportunity!"

"This guy can move to the location of the kunai. He's a disciple of Konoha's Yellow Flash, using the same Body Flicker Technique."

Hozuki Senjin said, "And his sword..."

Hoshita Shuichi was speechless upon hearing Kurosuki Raiga's voice.

The blue flash of Konoha... is there nothing new to it?

"Uncle Dai, feel free to rush in later!"

The Star Show paired up with Matt Day.

They had hardly cooperated before.

However, after one round of fighting, Hoshino Shuuichi had a clear understanding of the strength of the Seven Ninja.

Next... unleash your full power!

"Uncle Dai, let's go!"

With a loud shout, the Eightfold Sword appeared in Hoshino Shizuka's left hand, and blue lotus flowers bloomed all over his body as he shot out.

"Let your passionate youth shine!"

Might Guy made a declaration, the ground beneath his feet exploded, and Hoshino Shuichi burst forth, heading straight for Raiga Kurosuki.

Rumble!

Dense bolts of lightning descended from the sky, hurtling towards Hoshino Shuichi and Might Guy, but they dodged them with astonishing speed.

Hoshita Hideichi swung his Tenma Murakumo down, the blade light surging as it slashed towards Hozuki Senjin.

Blue Flame Waterfall Blade!

Hozuki Senjin also swung his sword, the light of which surged, colliding with the Blue Flame Waterfall Blade before exploding into a storm.

At that moment, Suigetsu Hozuki appeared to Hoshino Shuichi's side, slashing down with his large sword Samehada.

But the next moment, Suigetsu Hozuki's figure froze.

Magical Realm - Memory Palace!

He dodged and swung his sword!

The Heavenly Sword swept across the neck of the Watermelon Mountain Fugu Demon.

As the long needle struck, Hoshino Shizuka's figure vanished once more.

This time, he appeared beside Might Guy, and the two dragon heads on his shoulders emitted beams of blazing white light, like giant scissors, cleaving Black Hoshino Raiga, who was being kicked away by Might Guy after being paralyzed by electricity, in two.

Raiga Kurosuki, die!

Long needles and twin blades [Hiramekarei] attacked simultaneously, and Hoshino Shuichi disappeared with Might Guy.

"That bastard... there's no way to attack him."

Hozuki Senjin gritted his teeth, feeling despair for the first time.

"It seems we're about to be ruined here after just making a name for ourselves."

Kushimaru Kurihara, wearing a mask, spoke up: "Senjin, you retreat, I'll cover your retreat."

"Take the sword back to the village. Don't let the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist disappear."

Hozuki Senjin can summon all swords.

Hozuki Senjin, who had originally intended to stay behind to cover their retreat, fell silent, then nodded: "I understand!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped back.

"I told you, these swords are all from my collection, and even the Mizukage couldn't keep them!"

As Hoshino Shuichi's voice rang out, chains emerged from the ground.

Hozuki Senjin, who was retreating, swung his sword to sever the chains that were wrapping around him, only to find that Kurihara Kushimaru was frozen in place.

Magical Realm - Memory Palace!

Might Guy flew over and swept his leg across, sending Kushimaru, who was bound by chains, flying. His body fell like a tattered sack, and he died instantly.

With a single kick, Might Guy finished off Kushimaru Kurihara, then charged forward, appearing behind Senjin Hozuki and unleashing another sweeping kick.

Whoosh!

Hozuki Senjin's body turned to water.

But at that moment, the Fire Nether Lock locked the twin swords [Hiramekarei], and then with a pull, snatched them from Hozuki Senjin's hands.

Might Guy kicked and then punched with all his might, shattering the water-transformed Hozuki Senjin into streams of water.

But the water that landed quickly wrapped around Matt Day's legs, and then around his body.

After deactivating his Fire Release Chakra Mode, Hoshino Shizuka appeared, his body crackling with electricity. He first disappeared with Might Guy, then reappeared before Hozuki Senjin could retreat, inserting one hand into Hozuki Senjin's water-filled body and turning him into a lump of jelly.

Hoshino Hideichi withdrew his hand, then flicked it lightly, and a fire lotus bloomed at his fingertips, causing the jelly-like Hozuki Senjin to explode.

"The Demon Realm - Memory Palace is not invincible. Even the water-transformed Hozuki Senjin and the lightning-protected Kurosuki Raiga cannot invade with their spirit clones."

"As expected, the Sharingan is still superior because it can silently invade through both eyes."

Hoshino Hideichi sighed inwardly.

The fog had dissipated, and Yekura's voice came through: "Lord Shuichi, should we take care of these two?"
