Kaguya Kimimaro is extremely talented and has great potential, but after all, he is only a boy of about fourteen years old, his body has not yet fully grown, and his strength has not reached its peak.
It is still very difficult to challenge Kirabi, who has been famous for many years. Fortunately, Kaguya Kimimaro is not going to stop the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki alone on a whim, but is somewhat sure of it.
Moreover, he is not alone. As thin black stripes appeared on Kaguya Kimimaro's body, starting from his face and gradually spreading all over his body, his strength and speed became faster and faster, and his moves became more and more steady.
Even if Kirabi exerts increasing pressure, Kaguya Kimimaro can barely resist it. Seeing this situation, Kirabi also realized that the boy opposite was not a master who could be easily defeated.
Just when he was about to increase his chakra output, he saw Kaguya Kimimaro make a strange move to dodge.
"No!" Kirabi, who realized something was wrong, hurriedly raised his sword and used it as a shield to resist. As a result, he only heard a shrill crisp sound, the sword was broken, flew to the side, and his forehead was wiped out. There was a trace of blood.
Fortunately, the resistance of the long sword slightly changed the direction of the incoming weapon, and he instinctively raised his head to dodge, thus escaping.
Behind them, several trees were punched with large holes by armor-piercing projectiles fired from anti-materiel sniper rifles, and then sank into small mounds, making a dull sound.
Immediately afterwards, several downed trees tilted, broke, and fell to the ground.
"Such power!" Even the well-informed Kirabi was shocked by the terrifying lethality of such weapons.
If you were really hit, you would definitely be missing arms and legs. If you were hit on the torso, there would be a small hole in the front and a big hole like a bowl in the back, and you would basically not be able to survive.
Jinchuriki has great advantages in physical strength and chakra, and tailed beast chakra can also bring super recovery ability and keen perception.
However, if a vital part of the body is hit, he will still die. He raised his head and looked at the fleet still cruising on the sea more than a thousand meters away. He saw the dark gun barrel holes and the people vaguely aiming at this side from behind pieces of armor. Kirabi suddenly realized, The white-haired boy opposite him was not without confidence in staying to stop him.
In a one-on-one fight, they won't lose for a while; in a group fight, the Kumo ninja who followed suffered heavy losses in the salvo of naval guns.
Just when Kirabi was worrying about gains and losses, he didn't know whether to go forward bravely, kill Kaguya Kimimaro and board the giant steel ship to take revenge, or retreat in time to rescue the injured.
Soon, someone made the decision for him. I saw strange haloes under the water, as if there were huge sea beasts swimming around, and then suddenly opened their big mouths, and huge water columns rose into the sky, converging into several winding water dragons. Dive towards this place.
One of the characteristics of Water Release is that it has a large amount of energy and is most suitable for group ninjutsu and large-scale destruction. I don't know how many huge sea beasts were launched with all their strength, like a huge tsunami, rolling towards the shore.
"What, you have been abandoned? Your ship has turned around and is ready to leave..."
"How do you Kumo ninjas understand our capabilities?" Kaguya Kimimaro smiled contemptuously. Sparkling water suddenly surged on his body, accumulating more and more, until finally it looked like a large water ball tens of meters long. Wrap yourself in it.
In Kirabi's stunned gaze, the huge tsunami water dragon suddenly shot down. Even if the eight-tailed jinchūriki turned on the half-tailed beast, it could not maintain its balance under such a huge impact and flew back involuntarily.
When Kirabi finally gained a foothold on a small mound, he saw Kaguya Kimimaro, who was almost unscathed, like a large and flexible whale, waving its tail of pure water, heading towards the deep sea, with more than a dozen figures. Huge killer whales, each with a strange shape
Under the command of the "ninja", Kaguya Kimimaro retreated under the protection of Kaguya.
"Asshole!" Although he had known for a long time that fighting at sea would be a disadvantage for Kumo Ninja, but he couldn't bear to watch the enemy kill him and then leave almost unscathed.
The chakra of the Eight-tailed Gyuuki was once again driven, and the full tailed beast transformation state was activated. He opened his big mouth, and fired the tailed beast jade in the direction of the departure of the steel fleet. At this moment, the tide on the shore suddenly surged. It rose up again and transformed into a ball nearly a hundred meters high, with a mouth and a nose, and the eyes were diamond-shaped compound eyes composed of four eyeballs.
Because they were too far away, Kumo Ninja couldn't see the appearance of the Sharingan. He only saw a huge water giant standing up, stretching out his hands, holding a huge bottle-shaped thing composed of waterspouts. , which spurted out masses of icy air, and collided head-on with the Tailed Beast Jade.
The infinitely powerful tailed beast jade is not so easy to resist, and the cold ice tornado that collides head-on is also extraordinary. The tailed beast jade is wrapped in it, like a frozen orb in an iceberg.
Soon, the tailed beast jade's energy balance could not be maintained, it exploded violently, and the indestructible iceberg also shattered.
It's a pity that most of the power was consumed in the end, and the remaining explosion power only caused a flow of air and rippling water waves, and then returned to calm.
"Is this the end?" Just as he was lamenting that the tailed beast had returned in vain, Kirabi heard a small voice coming from behind him. When Kirabi looked back, he saw the embarrassed Yukito approaching.
"Are you okay?"
"I am also a Jinchuuriki after all, so I will not be defeated by this blow. Among the nine tailed beasts, the second tail is one of the best in hiding ability, but I didn't expect to be discovered."
"How did they find you?"
"I don't know. Logically speaking, all perceptions based on chakra should be temporarily blocked, unless they do not rely on chakra to perceive..."
"The Kosugi family is not a ninja clan or a ninja village. It is normal to have some secular methods. I heard that there is a thermal imaging camera based on infrared rays and a night vision device for night operation."
"What is thermal imaging?" Kirabi couldn't explain Yukito's question. He was just a ninja and a part-time second-rate rapper. How could he understand the development of cutting-edge technology?
"Stop talking about this, are you going to pursue me or not?"
"Forget it! Just fight them off. Those stinky rats are running around the border and killing many people. Speedboats are everywhere on the outer sea, and merchant ships carrying necessary supplies can't get in. The food in the village this week It has increased by another 20%. If this continues, famine is not far away." The so-called civilization is actually a very fragile thing. After completely isolating the Kingdom of Thunder from the economic activities of the ninja world, the people in this place were surprised to find that , losing material exchange with the outside world, not to mention maintaining the current life, even the basic necessities of life cannot be maintained.
For example, common plastic products and glassware, without the chemical factories under the Gushan family to provide cheap products, the prices of a large number of daily necessities have skyrocketed.
The only lucky thing is that the Kingdom of Thunder has an extremely long coastline and several large-scale fishing grounds. There is no shortage of meat and oil, but staple foods such as grains are obviously not enough.
After hundreds of years of economic exchanges, the residents of the Land of Thunder have gradually become accustomed to rice, flour and other agricultural products as their main food. If they really eat fish all the time, they can't stand it.
"Let's go, give first aid to our compatriots who are still alive." Looking at the steel fleet that was gradually going away, Kirabi put on his sunglasses, hid his unwilling eyes, and met Yuki, who had recovered a lot of physical strength and chakra. people, searching for nearby survivors, and at the same time sending out news, asking the medical ninjas from Yunyin Village to come over and rescue people.
...This local war, which did not last long but was surprisingly intense, had very limited impact outside the Kingdom of Thunder.
Even ordinary people in the Kingdom of Thunder don't know that Yun Nin and the Gushan family are fighting. They only know that prices have soared recently and life has been difficult.
However, in the ninja world, the relatively well-informed major forces basically knew that the Kumo ninja had suffered a lot in the conflict with the Kosugi family for their sphere of influence.
Since the establishment of the one-village-one-country order, disputes between ninja villages and the country have rarely occurred, especially among behemoths such as Kumogakure, one of the five major ninja villages, and the Furusugi family.
The result of this conflict forced many ambitious people to rein in their minions. Everyone knew that the Gushan family was rich and powerful, but it was unexpected that they were so capable of fighting.
If you have money but don't have the ability to protect yourself, the end will probably not be good. Gushan Bu Shui, who showed off his muscles properly, was quite satisfied with the result.
The loss of personnel was not large, and the elites were basically unscathed. As for the loss of money and materials, it was not worth mentioning to the Gushan family.
Although the Kumo ninja did not surrender openly, it was enough to withdraw the combatants and actually give in.
The subsequent series of economic sanctions did not need to be presided over by Gu Shan Bushui himself, and his subordinates would naturally do it for them.
As for a series of concerned people who were concerned about the development of the situation, most of them breathed a sigh of relief. Especially for Konoha Village, this is the time when they are trying to make money to pay off their debts. If the Kosugi family is caught in a conflict with the Kumo ninja and cannot extricate themselves, the capital invested in Konoha Village will definitely be reduced, which will affect the Konoha ninjas' plan to repay their debts.
If they were dragged into the water and the two sides got into a real fight, or even triggered the Fourth Ninja War, that would be troublesome.
However, the strength shown by the Gushan family also makes some people worried. In the Hokage's house office, Mito Monen said to Sarutobi Hiruzen: "The Kosugi family is too powerful, even the Kumo ninja suffered a big loss, and the two jinchūriki were unable to take down Kaguya Kimimaro. In the future, they will Will the dependence on our Konoha Village decrease?" If Konoha ninjas rely on the Fusagi family
Only by "charity" can we live a good life, and the Furusugi family has almost no desire or desire for Konoha Village, which is terrible.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was just smoking his pipe and couldn't answer. He went to bed and Koharu added: "One Kaguya Kimimaro can force back a Jinchuuriki. With the support of hot weapons, Kumo ninja suffered heavy losses. We can still retreat safely. With this kind of strength, it is not easy for our village to send out elites to ambush, and it is not easy to do it so beautifully." This is a hint that the strength of the Kosugi family has expanded too much, and Konoha is now severely weakened. Murura, in a real fight, might not be much better than Kumo Ninja.
"You shouldn't make such malicious speculations about our allies, at least for now, don't say such things..." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, and then said firmly,
"We need the resources provided by the secular world to cultivate more ninjas, so that qualified children can successfully grow into strong men and become the pillars of the village. As long as this remains unchanged, the details will not matter." Everyone knows the truth. , however, the force that has always been weaker than itself suddenly showed overwhelming strength in all aspects, which is indeed a bit puzzling.
"I have a doubt..." Mito Menyan said,
"How strong is the current Commander-in-Chief Kosugi? Even a genius like Kaguya Kimimaro is willing to follow the Kosugi family wholeheartedly. This cannot be done by paying money. And Shiro, that My child, the talent is simply appalling. I have read Baiyun Hayama's report and personally sent people to investigate. As a result, I can only say that among peers, only Hyuga Neji, Uchiha Sasuke and Karin can compare with him. If there is guidance from a famous teacher, my future achievements will be as good as those of the Sannin..." Such a powerful genius is willing to be used by him, so why can Gushan Bu Shui convince him?
Sarutobi Hiruzen replied: "The last time Gusugi Bosui took action, he led his team to ambush Deidara and the Red Sand Scorpion. In fact, no outsiders had seen his action at all. Because it was an ambush, the outside world did not pay too much attention. His personal strength. But..." After hesitating, Sarutobi Hiruzen was still ready to tell some unknown secrets.
"Because the incident happened suddenly, some things are difficult to investigate. Jiraiya went to see the place where Kosugi Bosui took action. Because it was at sea, most of the traces have been eliminated. Even so, Miaomu Mountain also has some secret techniques. We can detect part of the information, but the result is very exaggerated..." After a pause, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued: "Later, Jiraiya saw the training place of Furugi Bushui from a distance, and sneaked into it which was not very sensitive. area, and later, some information was sent back. I won’t mention the details. The general meaning is, don’t mess with him..."
"Very strong?" Mito Kadoyan and Koharu, who was transferred to another dormitory, asked in surprise.
"Jiraiya's original words were that he didn't want to be his enemy if it wasn't necessary." It's definitely possible to fight, and the chances of winning are even quite high, but this is only based on superficial intelligence. He has hidden killing potential. Recruit, others have it too.
If you are a top master, don't fight to the death with masters of the same level if you have nothing to do. It's not worth it.
"Back then, when he was in the ninja school, he didn't show such potential. What happened to him later that made him what he is now? Did he get the inheritance of the Uzumaki clan and become so strong? Are you going to spare no effort to support the Uzumaki survivors to regain their country?"
"The possibility is extremely small!" Sarutobi Hiruzen replied after thinking for a while,
"I'm wondering if it might be the effect of the forbidden technique. If not, it's impossible for a person's qualifications to change so much. If possible, send some 'Deathworld' to investigate..."
