When fighting against Kaoru, Uchiha Sasuke's flaws in using fire escape ninjutsu were fully exposed.
Starting too slowly, using it at the wrong time, consuming a lot of chakra and physical strength, but failing to hit the opponent will undoubtedly reduce your winning rate by a large margin.
Facing Kasumi Toudo's almost unreasonable close combat skills, Uchiha Sasuke seemed to be stuck in a quagmire and unable to extricate himself as long as he got close.
Using fire escape ninjutsu is definitely a risky choice. How much chakra can a teenage boy have? After using C-level fire escape four or five times, the limited chakra is almost drained.
But if you don't use it, you can only watch yourself lose.
"that……"
Hinata Neji took two steps closer to Xiang Rin and asked curiously,
"The taijutsu used by female fighters is called... Kobu-ryu?"
"Yes, the history can be verified for hundreds of years, and it is a well-known sect within the Gushan family."
It's definitely powerful. It's not difficult to learn and get started, but it takes extremely high talent to become proficient.
"What do you want to ask?"
"It's just a little weird."
After swallowing the words that reached his lips, Hinata Neji looked at Toudou Kasumi's movements calmly.
In fact, the starting position and restraining aura of Kobu-ryu are somewhat similar to those of Rouquan.
The Hyuga clan with Byakugan diffuses the unique chakra on the body surface and spreads it out. When using the soft fist, it will continuously interfere with the body of the approaching enemy, causing its control ability to decrease, and it will be hit by continuous palm strikes involuntarily, and it will not die. It hurts.
Kasumi Toudo's Kobu-ryu is slightly different. Chakra is directly used in conjunction with routine movements to form a very tangible energy, mixed with air flow, to push the opponent involuntarily into those seemingly magical palms. If caught, there is no way to escape. , and was beaten to death by throwing skills.
Two different physical arts tend to be in the same direction of development, and they really feel that they have reached the same goal through different paths.
Of course, there is still a big difference. With the blessing of the Byakugan, the Hyuga clan's soft fist can directly attack the meridians and acupuncture points in a relatively chakra-saving way. Todo Kasumi's ancient martial arts is obviously open and closed, aiming at the opponent. The hand tendons were broken and fractured.
The former is insidious, the latter is violent.
Sure enough, in less than ten minutes, Uchiha Saosuke chose the wrong tactic from the beginning because he was not familiar with the opponent's fighting style. When he realized that the opponent seemed to be moving at a slightly insufficient speed, he wanted to harass the opponent with a ninja tool and look for opportunities to defeat the enemy. , it’s too late.
When he was thrown to the ground over his shoulder, Uchiha Zuosuke was so dizzy that he could no longer stand up, so he had to admit defeat in frustration.
"Little brother, you were so frightened by Kimimaro at first that you didn't show your due strength. Logically speaking, you should have a chance of winning, but your actual performance was indeed a complete failure. It's a pity."
Toudo Kasumi reminded him kindly, and did not care whether his advice was regarded as provocation and ridiculed by Uchiha Sasuke.
In the final analysis, there is still a problem with mentality and a serious lack of practical experience.
Struggling to stand up, he stretched out his hand and instinctively formed the seal of reconciliation. Under the strange gaze of the other party, he realized that Kasumi Toudou was not a ninja, so he reluctantly stepped back and gave up the venue to Hyuga Neji and Kusanagi. Beijing.
Two people of similar age stepped forward. Kusanagi Kyo assumed a very strange dynamic fighting posture, while Hinata Neji opened his Byakugan, lowered his upper body slightly, and stretched one palm forward for defense.
"Hyuuga Neji, I've heard of you..."
Kusanagi Kyo stepped forward cautiously, closing the distance.
"Rou Fist, I've wanted to see it for a long time."
As he spoke, he stepped forward quickly, as fast as a ghostly shadow. He was in front of his eyes in the blink of an eye. Then he grabbed Hinata Neji's collar with one hand and lifted it up with all his strength.
In an instant, the chakra turned into hot fire, and Kusanagi Kyo let the flame flow directly cover the upper body of Hinata Neji.
The shocked Hinata Neji quickly moved his hands and grabbed his arm towards Kusanagi Kyo.
It's just that the energy of the soft fist was like hitting an iron plate, colliding with a strange energy and then separated.
Fortunately, Kusanagi Kyoya was able to withstand this head-on collision and take a few steps back. Hinata Neji took the opportunity to do a few backflips and jump to distance himself.
The flames on his body were not controlled by the owner and were extinguished quickly, but half of his beard, hair and clothes were burnt, which was enough to prove that Hyuga Neji suffered a big loss as soon as he took action.
"What was that move called just now?"
"Qin Yueyang, I don't use the tricks created by my Lord, but I think they are pretty good."
If it weren't for Kaguya Kimimaro and Haku, Kusanagi Kyo and Toudo Kasumi, they were the most outstanding young people in the direct lineage of the Furusugi family. Their talents were definitely not bad, but they just lacked a stage to become famous.
"Shadow Sato" is a private armed force affiliated with the Gusugi family. They generally do not appear in public and only become shadow dancers or death warriors when needed.
Of course, it's not absolute.
Kasumi Toudo is a proper personal bodyguard, serving as a human shield when necessary; Kyo Kusanagi is the leader of the bodyguard, similar to the role of a ninja boss who protects the daimyo.
The goal of his life that was instilled in him was to become the sharpest knife in Gu Shan Bu Shui. Even his name was given by the young master.
Nowadays, this goal is probably impossible to achieve. With Kaguya Kimimaro and Shiro's progress, the "ordinary" Kusanagi Kyo is not yet sure that he can beat them.
But this does not mean that its strength is weak, at least Hinata Neji was really stimulated.
The genius boy of the Hyuga clan mustered up the courage to show off all the results of his years of practicing Rouquan.
"It's a pity, we can't win."
Bai watched the two of them fight back and forth for more than a dozen rounds, and couldn't help but sigh with regret.
Maybe Hyuga Neji is more talented, but with a year difference in age, his physical fitness is not at the same level. In terms of overall strength, Kusanagi Kyo is obviously superior.
The soft fist that has not yet been mastered is no match for Kusanagi Kyo's ninjutsu.
…
More than an hour later, Gu Shanbu Shui, who was looking for documents from the Kingdom of Water, got the results of the competition.
Sure enough, all the children from Konoha Village failed.
Kosugi Fusui flipped through the documents with one hand, and gently shook the test tube in his hand with the other hand. The red solution inside was soaked in some of the bone samples taken from Kaguya Kimimaro.
"If nothing else happens, I can be sure that Kaguya Kimimaro has indeed inherited part of your bloodline, but he may not necessarily be the blood descendant of your two good sons."
"you mean……"
"That's right, the Kaguya clan is probably a fish that slipped through the net. The 'wedge' you left behind in the early years has completely thawed people. Without being chosen as a container by you, they gave birth to offspring. They have been It has multiplied until now..."
"Then...Hagoromo and Hamura, why didn't they get rid of them and left this one?"
"Perhaps the child died after giving birth, but the child grew up successfully..."
If a container allows "Wedge" to completely thaw, they are actually a reserve of the Otsutsuki tribe, and what is missing is the sacred tree and the fruits of the sacred tree.
"Think about it carefully, for whom did you plant a 'wedge', then gave birth to a child and died early, and escaped the liquidation of the two sons."
After being silent for a long time, Otsutsuki Kaguya replied with an unclear answer:
"There is such a person. For example, Taketori Ou, Sanuki Zaimaro, who I formed a bond with at the beginning, at that time, I never thought of letting him be my container. With his old body, I also It took a lot of effort to make him withstand the transplantation of 'Wedge'. The purpose is just to let him live a few more years..."
In fact, before Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo and Ōtsutsuki Hamura were born, this Taketori died, and his descendants more or less inherited the blood of the Ōtsutsuki clan.
As the degree of hybridization deepened, the descendants of Sanuki Zaimaro's natural abilities became worse and worse, and finally became ordinary people. Only the Kaguya family maintained the characteristic of corpse veins and passed it down.
"Kaguya is Taketori, and Taketori is Kaguya. The pronunciation of the two in ancient language is exactly the same."
"Is this true? It is indeed a big fish that has been hiding for thousands of years..."
In essence, Kaguya Kimimaro's ancestor inherited Kaguya Otsutsuki's 'wedge', so there must be something in his body that has not been completely removed. If it continues to be wedged, it is conceivable that the phenomenon of thawing and reversion will be extremely serious.
That's right, Kaguya Otsutsuki in her complete state possesses the secret technique of the Blood Succession Snare: Killing Ash Bones Together. It is such a domineering secret technique that has sprouted again after a thousand years.
"But, that's not right. That Taketori Ong was not strong to begin with. After the transplanted 'wedge' was completely thawed, he only lived for a few more years. This shows that he is very weak and cannot have the potential to master the blood inheritance snare. Those who inherit his bloodline Future generations will certainly not have such potential.”
The real descendants of Kaguya Otsutsuki - the Senju, Uchiha and Uzumaki clan members have not returned to their ancestors to this extent.
unless……
"In the Kingdom of Water, are there other members of the Otsutsuki clan hiding? Then they saw the abnormality of the Kaguya clan and took action?"
Otsutsuki Kaguya was stunned by Kosugi Bosui's question, and then added:
"It's also possible that it was done by a puppet controlled by 'Wedge', but it doesn't make sense. I haven't thought about it clearly yet."
"Let's not talk about this for now, how to suppress this kind of power that has been alienated to such an extent?"
This thing is no longer like Otsutsuki Kaguya's mysterious blood-inherited snare: Ashes of Killing Together. If it were genuine, Kaguya Kimimaro would turn into ashes and die at the moment of awakening because he couldn't bear it anymore.
The current situation is more like the newly implanted "wedge" merging with other things, and a new power is awakening.
"Give him a little bit of Nine-Tails chakra. Maybe he can survive for a while."
Since it is a sudden change, it will eventually subside. By then, Kaguya Kimimaro will still be alive, and everything will be fine.
The two of them were making various guesses. Suddenly, Gushan Bushui seemed to have discovered something and said happily:
"Look here, there seems to be a watershed in the rise of the Kaguya clan. In the past, they were relatively famous for their ability to manipulate skeletons in battle. More than 700 years ago, their bloodline boundaries seemed to have become stronger, and then they had corpses. The name Pulse."
Gradually, a clan that was brave and good at fighting turned into a clan of lunatics who only knew how to fight and had no brains.
It seems that something dangerous is brewing in the family bloodline of the Kaguya clan.
Unable to think of a reason for the moment, Gu Shan Bu Shui had no choice but to wait and see.
…
On the other side, after losing the battle, the Konohagakure group returned to their hotel in embarrassment and ate their dinner dejectedly.
Teacher Mizuki encouraged her very thoughtfully:
"Don't be discouraged. Those people are all seniors two or three years older than you. They have learned and experienced much more than you. It is normal to be a little stronger temporarily. After you graduate, you will learn advanced ninjutsu." The chances are much greater that it is possible to catch up or even surpass them.”
Having said that, these little guys also understand that they and others are making progress, and others cannot stand still and wait for others to catch up, right?
By that time, they will undoubtedly become stronger.
Mizuki also knew that what he said didn't make sense, but what else could he say?
If your skills are inferior to others, you can't really confuse right and wrong and just talk nonsense.
Thinking about himself, Mizuki couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although these little guys are still weak now, their potential is already considerable. In the foreseeable future, they will all surpass himself as a teacher.
Taking the lead temporarily due to his age advantage made Mizuki feel more worried.
Thinking of the things that were accidentally gifted by Orochimaru, Mizuki's originally calm heart began to become restless.
"Would you like to try it?"
Once this thought comes to mind, it can never be completely removed.
After listening to a few children chatting for a while, he came back to his senses, suppressed the dangerous thoughts in his heart, and then ordered:
"There is still time later. You can go out for a walk. There are not many opportunities to come here every year. It is also necessary for ninjas to experience the customs and customs of different places. However, don't make it too late and cause trouble for others. .”
"I understand, Teacher Mizuki."
In a bad mood, Uchiha Sasuke and Hyuga Neji went back to their room to rest. Inuzuka Kiba missed the time for walking and playing with Akamaru. They didn't want to move after eating and drinking. Only Xiang Rin thought about whether he could still go at this time. Talk to your mother.
On her way home, through the busy long street, the little girl entered the Gushan family's mansion through a side door that was rarely visited.
Hongye is currently washing her three little daughters.
After Xianglin arrived, she happily joined the team playing in the water.
"I heard that your teammates this time are all your classmates. How is your strength? Are you sure you will get good results?"
"It's not bad. Zuoshu is stronger, but he is arrogant and Yaya is not a peaceful guy. He is still relatively reliable, but I don't know if there will be any masters competing this year."
When Sasame and Kageno participated in the competition, they were able to achieve good results because the competition was not too fierce. If masters from several other major countries came one after another, Xianglin's performance should not be bad, but it is hard to say whether he can win.
