First, he threw out a few more shurikens to interfere, and then formed seals with both hands at the same time, preparing for ninjutsu.

"Oh, you arrogant brat!"

The fish ghost immediately realized that the two little ghosts were trying to restrain him through long-range attacks.

As if he was angry at being looked down upon, he pulled out several throwing knives from his waist and shot down the shurikens shot from the direction of Jianchuan Tachibana. Then he waved his scimitar and rushed directly towards Terumi Mei.

Fortunately, by this time, Terumi Mei's ninjutsu had been completed, and the water beneath her feet was violently turbulent. Dozens of water bullets rushed out of the water and shot at the enemy who was attacking her.

The water wave just now was not just used for attack. In this kind of waterlogged environment, both himself and Jianchuan Ju could better exert their combat effectiveness.

However, the fish ghost was completely unmoved. He swung his sword continuously to easily disperse the water bullets attacking him, and continued to rush towards Mei Terumi.

On the other side, Tachibana Jianchuan would naturally not just watch the enemy attack Mei Terumi.

More than a dozen small flying water shurikens were shot at the fish ghost's body in a covering manner.

However, the fish ghost did not look back, and based on the sound of the breaking wind, he jumped into the air with his toes touching the ground. In the air, he dodged all the attacks of the flying water shuriken in an extremely strange posture.

Fortunately, this round of attack also delayed some time, allowing Mei Terumi to create distance again.

"Is it not possible to use a blanket attack?"

Jianchuan Ju sighed silently in his heart, because he was worried that a single-shot flying water shuriken would not be able to hit the target. He originally thought that this covering attack could cause some damage to the enemy and reduce the opponent's combat power.

Who would have thought that in the end it only served to delay the process?

"These Taijutsu ninjas are really hard to deal with." In fact, Yugui also thought so. He thought that he could easily deal with the two Genin ghosts. Unexpectedly, they were so difficult to deal with. Now it is difficult to even get close to them.

Seeing that the other party did not continue to attack, Jianchuan and Ju took a break on the spot.

Due to his young age and the fact that his strength is still developing, ordinary shurikens lack both lethality and flying speed, and are barely enough to be used to restrain him.

However, if you use ninjutsu attacks frequently, even if there is a large area of ​​water around that can save chakra and cannot cause harm to the opponent, it is ultimately not a long-term solution.

While Jianchuan Ju was still thinking about countermeasures, the fish ghost on the opposite side had already launched another attack.

The target is still Mei Terumi.

The fish ghost leaned forward, gradually increasing in speed, before Mei Terumi could estimate the distance and prepare to counterattack.

The fish ghost actually threw the scimitar with one hand, letting it spin in front of him, and he quickly formed seals with his free hands. His cheeks puffed up and his head tilted back slightly.

After completing the seal, the fish ghost caught the scimitar again.

“Puff~” “Puff~” “Puff~”

Three wind bullets came out of his mouth one after another.

The enemy suddenly switched to long-range attack, catching Mei Terumi off guard.

Even though he tried his best to dodge in a hurry, he was still hit in the left leg by one of the wind bullets.

In just a moment, the leggings were torn into pieces, and several cuts were made on the white calves. Blood gushed out, which was a terrifying sight.

Seeing his teammates in danger, Jianchuan Ju didn't care about saving chakra and hurriedly used "Water Jet". A large amount of water burst out from his calves, pushing him to rush towards the back of the fish ghost at a very fast speed.

Mei Terumi was also enduring the pain in her legs and trying her best to distance herself from them.

But just as Jianchuan Ju was about to continue to form seals and perform a combo of 'Flying Water Shuriken', the 'danger foreknowledge' alarm in his mind suddenly became dozens of times more intense, and an unprecedented strong premonition stung his brain.

There is no time to hesitate.

Jianchuan Ju slightly raised his toes, tightened his calves, and tried his best to adjust the direction of the water jet to slow down his momentum.

The next moment, a scimitar flashing with a dazzling cold light broke out from the ground, passed through the not-so-thick water surface, and slashed straight towards him.

"when?!"

No one expected that the fish ghost actually had a hidden earth escape ninjutsu, and used his clone to feint an attack, thereby ambushing Jianchuan Ju who was anxious to rescue him.

Fortunately, there was a 'danger prediction' warning. Although Jianchuan Ju didn't have time to change the direction, he did slow down his sprint.

The fish ghost misjudged the timing of the attack, giving Jianchuan Ju a chance of survival.

He took out a kunai and held it in front of himself, pretending to block.

"when--"

The kunai and the scimitar collided with each other, but the crisp and pleasant sound of metal clashing did not mean that he had successfully blocked this fatal attack.

At the moment the two weapons collided, the pirate's scimitar actually cut off the kunai directly, and continued to slash towards Jianchuan Tachibana without stopping.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere.

The residual force of the water jetting under his feet caused Jianchuan Ju's body to be thrown backwards.

Jianchuan Ju, whose vision was a little blurry in the air, only then saw that a swaying and flickering blue-green chakra light had extended from the opponent's scimitar at some point in time.

“This old silver coin!”

Chapter 30 Counterattack

Jianchuan Ju spilled a lot of blood in the air, drew an arc, and fell heavily to the ground, splashing a large amount of water.

The severe pain made him sober up a little.

The fish ghost thought that his sneak attack would directly cut the little ghost in half, but he didn't expect the opponent to be so sharp and actually prepared in advance.

But now that the other party was seriously injured, he naturally didn't want to let this kid go. He jumped out from the ground and immediately sprinted forward as soon as he landed on the ground.

At this moment, a sharp dagger tore through the air and suddenly appeared in front of the fish ghost.

The fish ghost subconsciously stopped and knocked the dagger in front of him away.

Looking closely, it turned out that Zabuza had already dealt with Yuya with a broken arm and came to support his teammates.

Yugui's eyes immediately turned red with anger. Although he and Yuya had just an average relationship, after all, they were both sent to manage this gang of pirates at the same time and had been together on the same ship for several years.

He may not care about the lives of other pirates, but Fish Fang is different.

The fish ghost took a look at Jianchuan Ju who was lying on the ground in the distance, and simply gave up chasing him and turned to rush towards Zabuza.

In fact, Zabuza was not having a good time at this time.

Although the pirate named Yuya had his arm broken by his sneak attack, he was also a Chuunin who was good at physical skills, and other pirates made sneak attacks from time to time, which put Zabuza in a tough fight.

Fortunately, the opponent's right arm was broken, so he could not form hand seals to perform ninjutsu, and the power of his left hand sword was also greatly reduced. In the end, Zabuza was able to kill him with only minor injuries.

Seeing the fish ghost rushing towards him with anger, even a stubborn man like him didn't dare to fight and dodged the opponent's attack in a panic.

On the other side, Jianchuan Ju, who had come to his senses, finally had the chance to check his injuries.

There was a nearly 20-centimeter wound on the chest, deep enough to see the bone, and blood had completely soaked the front of the shirt.

For the first time, he felt the shadow of death so close to him. However, the strongest emotion in Jianchuan Ju's heart was not fear, but a strong anger and desire for destruction.

At this moment, he only wants revenge and to destroy everything that threatens his life!

Just after dealing with the pirate minions, he saw his master Lan Zai was injured, so he hurried over, picked up Jianchuan Ju's ninja tool bag and began to look for medicine.

Seeing this, Jianchuan Ju ignored the pain in his body, grabbed some ointment and smeared it randomly to stop the bleeding in his chest, then took out a few Bingliang pills and threw them into his mouth.

Without even casting a healing spell on himself, he stood up again and rushed towards the enemy.

Although Jianchuan Ju was extremely angry at this time, his mind was surprisingly clear. While running, he calculated his remaining chakra and quickly thought about how to win under the current conditions.

Then he quickly formed seals with his hands, and a water clone immediately emerged from the water and stood beside him.

Jianchuan Ju did not stop, and threw several shurikens forward together with his clones.

"Lan Zai, water gun, full force."

"Quack! (▼皿▼)===3"

A high-speed rotating stream of water came out from the mouth of Lanzi, who was lying on his back, and carried the shurikens with it, flying towards the fish ghost at a faster speed.

It was not until this time that the fish ghost noticed that the little ghost, who he thought was seriously injured and dying, actually stood up.

However, he did not panic. He nimbly turned sideways, preparing to avoid the water column attack. At the same time, he did not forget to kick Zabuza who was trying to launch a sneak attack.

However, this attack is not that simple.

These shurikens were carried forward at high speed by the water column. Due to the rotation of the water flow itself, they were thrown out of the water column during flight and scattered around the water column like satellites.

In an instant, the monotonous straight-line attack turned into a range attack.

Seeing this change, the fish ghost still did not panic. He jumped up again and dodged all the shuriken attacks with his extremely strange posture.

Just at this moment, a delicate cry came from a distance.

"Water Style*Water Whip"

A long whip made of water came from a distance and instantly entangled the fish ghost in mid-air.

It was Mei Terumi who had come to help with her injured calf. Jianchuan Tachibana's eyes immediately lit up, but he continued to give orders.

"Blue, foam mousse."

Then, the little frog began to frantically tear off the foam on its neck and threw it at the fish ghost entangled by the water whip.

The sticky 'foam mousse' instantly covered the fish ghost's entire body, firmly restricting its movements.

After seeing that the enemy was finally controlled, Jianchuan Ju did not hesitate and quietly hid behind his own water body.

The fish ghost, knowing that he was in danger, roared ferociously.

"Don't underestimate me, little devils!"

Although his body was restricted, causing the pirate scimitar in his hand to have no suitable attack angle, the fish ghost still forcibly twisted his wrist and activated the chakra wind blade.

The blue-green blade light emerged from the scimitar again, instantly cutting off Terumi Mei's water whip, and the remaining force swept away some of the sticky foam.

However, due to the angle, the fish ghost itself was also cut.

The fish ghost, whose restrictions were partially lifted, threw the scimitar in his hand towards Jianchuan Ju regardless of his injuries.

"Crack~"

The water clone blocking Jianchuan Ju's main body exploded into a ball of water, but the fish ghost seemed to have anticipated it and roared as if to vent his anger.

"Water clone! I knew it a long time ago!!"

After throwing out the scimitar, the fish ghost immediately began to form hand seals, preparing to use ninjutsu to defeat this clever little ghost head-on.

However, after the water clone exploded, what awaited him was not Jianchuan Ju who came forward for a close attack.

A clear voice suddenly came from the sky directly in front of the fish ghost.

"You guessed it! Then! Go to hell!!"

At this moment, Jianchuan Ju's body jumped high, holding a giant crystal clear water shuriken in his right hand, shining brightly in the morning sun.

The water clone that exploded in front also turned into several streams of water and merged into the water shuriken, causing its size to further expand.

Jianchuan Ju had already accumulated enough power, and he was like a fully drawn longbow.

"Water Style! Flying Water Shuriken!!"

Following Jianchuan Ju's roar, he tensed his body and swung his arms vigorously.

This shuriken was infused with all of his chakra, and also absorbed a large amount of water in the environment. Finally, it was enhanced with the attack power of the [Turbulence] characteristic, and it flew out of his hand in an instant.

It cut through the air at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye, and flew towards the fish ghost with a violent spin.

“Squeak—squeak—boom—”

Because the attack distance was too close and Jianchuan Ju was in the air, the flying water shuriken hit the ground immediately after it cut through the fish ghost.

Immediately, a huge column of water exploded on the water surface which was about to recede.

The impact of the explosion directly blew away Jianchuan Ju, who was closest to him, and Zabuza, who was holding a kunai and preparing to launch a sneak attack.

"Boom~" x2

Two drops of ground were heard in quick succession.

Mei Terumi, who came over from a distance, first took a look at the fish ghost who was already dead, then dragged her injured leg to the two of them.

"Is it over?"

Tachibana Jiangawa and Zabuza, who were lying motionless on the ground, both turned their gazes to Mei Terumi.

"Well, it's over."
