Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 176 Nebula's Shuriken

Seeing Orochimaru being blasted away.

Jianchuan Ju did not immediately go to look for her severed right arm.

Instead, he immediately formed a hand seal with one hand and shouted loudly.

"Blue Boy!"

The unspoken understanding between the human and the frog is self-evident; the little frog knows what its master means just by seeing the hand seals made by Jianchuan Ju.

He immediately moved to the left of Jianchuan Ju.

With the completion of the hand seal by Jianchuan Ju.

A vertically rotating, high-speed "flying water shuriken" was immediately formed.

Lan Zai also placed his palm on the other side of the "Flying Water Shuriken".

He poured his own chakra into it, while simultaneously assisting Tachibana Kanakawa in controlling and compressing the water flow.

The shuriken formed from the water flow suddenly doubled in size, and as it continued to rotate and accumulate power, its size continued to expand.

However, due to the intense compression by Jianchuan Ju and Lanzai, the color of the water changed from its initial azure blue to a deep blue.

Until the diameter of this "Flying Water Shuriken" grew to more than three meters, the cutting power generated by its rapid rotation easily severed the giant tree branch under the feet of Tachibana Kenkawa.

As the tree branch fell, the tangerine tree in the stream finally stopped gathering its strength.

He held aloft this giant, dark blue shuriken, which resembled a constantly spinning star cluster.

Jianchuan Ju's muscles were taut, and his whole body resembled a giant crossbow with its bowstring fully drawn.

"Water Release: Super Nebula Shuriken!"

At the same time, Jianchuan Ju and Lanzi swung their arms with all their might, throwing the giant shuriken out.

"Buzzing—"

The saw teeth made a tearing sound as they ripped through the air.

This incredibly solid, deep blue shuriken traced a beautiful arc in the air.

All the giant trees along the path were cut in half, but not a single drop of water splashed from the 'Nebula Shuriken'.

Even Orochimaru, who had just been blasted away, felt threatened by this attack, and his expression changed slightly.

He didn't have time to think about why his previous attacks had missed.

He landed quickly, bit his finger, and slammed his hands to the ground.

"A triple Rashomon!"

Three enormous gates of hell swiftly burst through the forest, rising from the ground like three walls of a giant kingdom, firmly protecting Orochimaru.

The Nebula Shuriken struck the incredibly sturdy Oni-masked door with a screeching sound.

However, compared to the hundred-meter-high Gate of Asura, the Nebula Shuriken, with a diameter of only a little over three meters, seems like an ant trying to shake a tree.

But the next moment.

The Nebula Shuriken, having withstood immense pressure, exploded with a deafening roar.

Instantly, a giant column of water shot straight into the sky. The violent explosion covered an area of ​​several hundred meters in radius.

Imagine the immense water pressure that would result from such a massive volume of water being condensed in a shuriken only three meters in diameter.

Orochimaru's Triple Rashomon lasted less than a second before being completely shattered and dissipated.

The deafening roar and the terrifying scene seemed to silence the entire forest.

Tachibana Kanagawa, who had just unleashed this ninjutsu, couldn't help but wipe away a cold sweat as he looked at the towering water column in the distance.

"This technique was learned to deal with large summoned beasts, but using it at full power is indeed a bit different."

"Quack! (ー`ー)"

Lan Zai expressed his agreement with a serious expression.

At this moment, Kisame Hoshigaki, who had just dealt with the three giant snakes, landed beside him with the severed arm of Tachibana Kenkawa that had been cut off.

Seeing that Jianchuan Ju's face was very pale, he asked with concern.

"Dr. Tachibana, shall we reattach your arm first?"

Kisame Hoshigaki wasn't too worried about Tachibana Kanagawa being handed over to others at the Anbu base, as he often saw her doing so.

Although he was fighting a summoning beast, Kisame Hoshigaki was also distracted by what was happening here.

Unexpectedly, what I saw was Tachibana Kanagawa using such amazing ninjutsu.

Kisame Hoshigaki nodded as he watched the towering column of water that had just descended into the distance, followed by a drizzle that enveloped half of the dense forest.

"He's definitely dead now, isn't he?"

Kanagawa Tachibana glanced at Kisame Hoshigaki beside her, somewhat speechless, and muttered something.

"That was a good guess. Don't guess again next time."

Tachibana knew that despite the seemingly powerful effect of his attack, its actual power might not be as strong as Naruto's Four-Tails form's Tailed Beast Ball.

At most, it will probably just create a bizarre shape for Orochimaru in the distance.

Jianchuan Ju didn't know how long it would take for Orochimaru to recover, so he immediately placed the severed arm on his shoulder and used "Feather Rest" to reattach the arm.

Although the Palm Immortal Technique could still be used in this situation, in order to quickly restore her combat strength, Tachibana Kanagawa couldn't care less about that.

Fortunately, the Kusanagi sword was sharp enough that the cut on the arm was very smooth, and the use of "Feathered Descent" did not consume much chakra.

"Oh, right, the Kusanagi Sword!"

Thinking of this, Tachibana Kanagawa jumped back to the tree and picked up the Kusanagi Sword stuck in the trunk!

"Heh, the old man actually drops equipment!"

Tachibana Kanagawa remembers that Orochimaru's Kusanagi sword was essentially an upgraded version of his own knock-off divine spear.

In the original work, it can easily extend for hundreds of meters, and its hardness and sharpness are comparable to the original divine spear. The only drawback is that the extension speed of the blade may not be that fast, so it is not very suitable for sneak attacks.

"But it's still a powerful weapon overall, so we made a profit!"

However, before Jianchuan Ju could even rejoice at acquiring a new weapon, the Kusanagi sword he had just obtained suddenly exploded into a puff of white smoke with a "bang" and disappeared.

"Tch! That stingy guy, he really didn't die."

the other side.

It's pretty much what Jianchuan Ju envisioned.

Although Orochimaru in the distance had his "Triple Rashomon" destroyed, he did not suffer any serious injuries.

Orochimaru, who was stuck in the ground upside down, suddenly convulsed violently.

He stood up again in an extremely strange posture.

At this moment, dozens of Konoha ninjas who had seen the giant Rashomon gate and the towering water pillar rushed over and instantly landed on the crescent-shaped pool of water created by the previous explosion.

Seeing Orochimaru standing on the only intact spot on the ground, all the Konoha ninja who had rushed over secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lord Orochimaru."

"Lord Orochimaru, are you alright?"

"Lord Orochimaru, what was that attack just now?"

A variety of noises rang out, but Orochimaru simply stood quietly in place, ignoring them.

Instead, he continued to think about what had just happened.

Orochimaru wasn't too concerned about Tachibana's ability to use a powerful ninjutsu that could destroy the Triple Rashomon.

He had seen even more powerful moves before, and even he himself could achieve this level of power when using his full strength.

However, the ability of that little brat's summoned beast to ignore his Kusanagi sword attacks was truly astonishing.

A clone? An illusion? An afterimage?

"Neither seems to be true! Whether it was the frog's tongue wrapped around my arm or the strange water-based attack later, the sensations were incredibly real."

"Could it be some kind of space-time ninjutsu?"

Orochimaru subconsciously licked his lips, his expression becoming excited again.

"This kid is getting more and more interesting!"

However, at this moment, many more Konoha ninjas came running over after hearing the noise.

The increasingly noisy questions made it difficult for Orochimaru to think quietly.

After a barely perceptible hint of impatience flashed across his face, Orochimaru's expression returned to calm.

He looked at the Konoha ninjas who had gathered around him.

"I'm fine here, disperse. Take care of the Kirigakure ninja swordsmen quickly; the Kirigakure frontline troops could attack at any moment!"

"Yes" xN
