Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 488 There's nothing I can do, you know that~

Not long ago, Mei Terumi had just developed her own unique "Boil Release" bloodline limit.

She once demonstrated her new moves to Tachibana Kenkawa on her own.

However, at that time, Tachibana Kenkawa offered some guidance based on his own experience.

Over the years, Mei Terumi seems to have focused too much on training in chakra nature transformation due to the development of her bloodline limit.

On the contrary, he neglected the practice of changing form.

Whether it's the previous "Lava Release: Melting Monster Technique" or the current "Boiling Release: Clever Mist Technique".

They all follow a bold and unrestrained approach, splashing water freely.

However, these two bloodline limits, whether it's the solution of "Molten Release" or the mist of "Boiling Release", are different.

Neither of them belong to the type of attack method with a relatively fast flight trajectory.

Perhaps when facing a large number of "small fish", this attack can easily cause widespread damage.

However, when facing a single true master, the attack can easily be dodged by the opponent.

In a one-on-one situation, things would be better, as Mei Terumi could at least cover herself with a large amount of Boil Release mist, which would serve as a defense and self-protection measure.

However, when fighting alongside other companions.

If Mei Terumi continues to neglect her training in form transformation, her indiscriminate use of Lava Release and Boil Release will only make her hesitant and timid.

Ultimately, this could result in being instantly killed at close range by the enemy after they have dodged a series of attacks.

Hanzo the Salamander, who also relied on "poisonous mist" to wreak havoc, at least possessed superb close-combat swordsmanship and the incredibly elusive "Water Instantaneous Body" to compensate for his lack of combat strength in one-on-one situations.

However, the advice given by Tachibana Kenkawa was to first practice the form changes of Boil Release until they could limit the range of the mist, so as to protect himself and avoid accidentally injuring his teammates.

Regarding Lava Release, because it incorporates the Earth and Water chakra natures of this bloodline limit, it is relatively easy to adapt to changes in form.

You can delve deeper into it and develop different forms of Lava Release ninjutsu to increase the versatility of your ninjutsu in dealing with different scenarios.

However, even Tachibana Kanakawa didn't expect this.

Mei Terumi truly lives up to her reputation as a genius ninja with the potential to become a Kage.

They were able to find a new way, compressing the fog by changing its shape to circumvent the fog's slow flight speed.

At the same time, by utilizing the continued expansion after compression and the violent nature of the fire attribute portion of Boil Release, the seemingly single-target attack "Boil Release Missile" can quickly spread after being launched, transforming into a wide-area attack.

The expansion caused by the light mist is far beyond the blast radius of an ordinary fire jutsu.

Without any prior knowledge, the enemy has virtually no way to avoid them.

"You've really impressed me!"

Just as Tachibana was marveling at Mei Terumi's talent.

Mei Terumi originally jumped into the air to make the trajectory of the bullets hit the ground more naturally.

My feet had just landed back on the ground.

Despite the seemingly empty space behind them, a sudden, violent gust of wind arose.

However, before the attackers could even get close to Mei Terumi's side, the attack was already underway.

A sharp dagger suddenly pierced through the air and struck.

"Pfft~"

The sound of a sharp blade piercing through flesh rang out abruptly.

The air behind Mei Terumi trembled with an extremely unnatural fluctuation.

A figure with a short knife piercing its chest slowly emerged in the air.

The young man in blue looked at his chest in disbelief, then coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Zabuza, who had just finished off "Little Yellow" in the distance, slowly saw the bulging veins around his left eye, which was covered by his headband, subside.

For Zabuza, who now possesses the Byakugan.

Whether it's the "Transparent Release" bloodline limit or the "Camouflage Concealment" earth release ninjutsu, they all seem somewhat laughable.

Zabuza's wire, still wrapped around his right arm, contracted rapidly as he exerted force.

There was another "poof" sound.

The short sword was drawn again, but Zabuza quickly pulled it back into his hand.

The blade detached from the body, resulting in a second severe injury.

The young man in blue screamed, clutching his chest, and fell backward, spitting blood from his mouth.

However, it seems that they are worried that "Little Blue" is not completely dead and will launch a sneak attack on Mei Terumi.

Zabuza slightly raised his left hand, making a gun gesture.

A black and purple chakra energy bullet rapidly condensed at his fingertip and was then fired at high speed.

『biu~』

The near-pure black energy bullet left a long afterimage in the air and shot into the body of the fallen blue-clad youth in the blink of an eye.

"Boom!"

An explosion, comparable in power to a detonating tag, instantly rose up.

The flames immediately engulfed the corpses on the ground, and the remaining severed limbs were blasted away in all directions.

In the end, only a small crater remained on the spot.

Tachibana Kanakawa's lips twitched twice more.

"What a perfectly good sniping maneuver, ruined into a miniature Tailed Beast Ball! You've really gone too far! You bastard!"

Jianchuan Ju stood up speechlessly, casually patted the snowflakes off her clothes, rolled her eyes and complained.

"So, you promised to leave one alive! And you..."

As she spoke, Jianchuan Ju raised her hand and suddenly clenched it in the air beside her.

Then a figure in red was quickly pulled out of the bushes by an invisible force field.

Before the other party could make any resistance, a ball of pure white flame suddenly appeared on Jianchuan Ju's palm.

The figure in red had just touched Jianchuan Ju's hand.

The white flames defied the laws of physics, continuing to burn downwards and spreading throughout its entire body in an instant.

As Tachibana Kanagawa released the "White Release: Freezing Fist," the pure white flames also quickly dissipated, as if they had never appeared at all.

Only a man, whose entire body was frozen solid except for his head, remained. He was grabbed by the neck by Jianchuan Ju and casually held up beside her.

And that was when Jianchuan Ju finished speaking.

"You guys just have to leave one for me, right?"

As Jianchuan Ju finished speaking.

The red-clad man who had seemed to be making a runaway move in the distance transformed into a swarm of tiny black flying insects and quickly scattered away.

Seeing that Tachibana had already captured the enemy leader, Mei Terumi and Zabuza both ceased their fighting stances.

They glanced at each other, then smiled and shrugged in unison.

"There's no way around it, you know I'm too weak, I can't afford to hold back."

"I can't help it, you know, I'm not quite used to controlling this posture yet."

As he spoke, Zabuza glanced at the red-clad man in Tachibana's hand, whose neck and below were completely frozen into ice, yet whose face still had a rosy glow, as if he were completely unharmed. He shook his head in frustration.

"Your control over ninjutsu is ridiculously strong right now."

At this moment, the so-called leader of the Xuanyuan Clan seemed to have just come to his senses.

He looked at the three of them with a look of despair in his eyes, his tone filled with resentment.

"Why! Why can you still use ninjutsu normally?!"
