Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

Page 162

As the water dragon approached, Shirahoshi remained completely calm.

Rumble!

The gravel ground beneath the young man's feet suddenly trembled, then quickly rose up, forming a tall rectangular earthen pillar that stood in the center of the mining area.

The water dragon's attack didn't stop, crashing straight into the earthen pillar—crack!

"Using earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique used in traditional Chinese geomancy) to change the geographical environment and avoid water dragon bullets is indeed a good method."

"But your earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique that allows you to escape through earth) is not powerful enough."

The earthen pillar broke, and Nawaki drew his ninja sword, using the Body Flicker Technique with one hand to arrive in mid-air.

Before my eyes, Shirahoshi's body tilted and was about to fall... *swoosh!*

"W-what!"

Everyone thought Shirahoshi would be helpless and unable to fight back, but unexpectedly, Shirahoshi took out a kunai from an unseen angle and almost tore Nawaki's mask.

The ninja sword and kunai clashed, and in that moment of stalemate, Shirahoshi glanced at a tilted clod of earth that was about to fall. Using the momentum, she stepped back, lightly touched the clod with her feet, and floated back into the air. The kunai in her hand was imbued with Fire Release chakra...

Fire Release: Ultimate Power Kunai!

call out--

"Amazing! The nature of Fire Release has been developed to the point where you can attack with Fire Release chakra without forming hand seals?" Minato Namikaze exclaimed in admiration.

"This is a technique that the teacher used several years ago," Mikoto Uchiha couldn't help but complain after calming down.

“Several years ago... he must be even stronger now,” Kakashi said.

Naruto, standing nearby, exclaimed, "Awesome!"

"I didn't expect this kid to have some skill." The Amegakure Jonin, Kiyomi, crossed her arms, the number 74 clearly visible on her clothes.

With the addition of Fire Release, the kunai was like a rocket with fuel, with flames burning wildly at the tail, providing endless propulsion!

"As expected of you."

"You've already seized the opportunity."

Rope Tree sighed, but quickly, while still in mid-air, he formed a hand seal again:

"Water Escape·Water Formation Pillar!"

This is a B-rank defensive ninjutsu that can only be developed by mastering the nature transformation of Water Release chakra.

The principle is that the water column impact of the C-level water turbulence wave and the wall defense of the C-level water array combine to form a projectile that looks like a large defensive water wall, which is sprayed out from the mouth!

Bai Xing's face twitched: "It can't be that bad, can it?"

He used a C-rank defensive Earth Release technique and a D-rank Fire Release attack, and you countered with two B-rank Water Release techniques?!

As an aside, Water Pillar is a defensive Water Release ninjutsu that combines offense and defense.

The mere kunai was instantly extinguished by the water column and surged into the water flow. Shirahoshi was in mid-air with his hands crossed, using Earth Release chakra to strengthen and protect his vital parts—Bang!

"Damn it! I'm going to kill him!" Mikoto rolled up her sleeves, but Tsunade blocked her way, looking at her Sharingan: "Wait a little longer. Shirahoshi's strength won't be defeated so quickly."

"These are no match for Tsunade-senpai!" Mikoto exclaimed excitedly.

Minato Namikaze couldn't help but nod, agreeing with Mikoto's assessment, "Two consecutive high-level water-style attacks, and that person showed no signs of fatigue. Their strength is at least that of a Jonin."

"A Jonin... is indeed very powerful." Naruto Uzumaki saw that the person who usually monitored them was so strong, and his tone became somewhat dejected.

That's it, there's no escaping it now.

He was still thinking about finding a chance to escape from prison, after all, he still needed to find a way to return to the future world.

Bai Xing was hit head-on by the water array pillar and was sent flying backward.

Finally, with a splash, it landed on the small pool of water that had just been formed by the water jet, along with a large column of water.

Shirahoshi emerged from the water, but before she could even look up, Nawaki arrived, giving her no chance to turn the tables. He placed his ninja sword against Shirahoshi's neck and said, "It's over."

"How could they lose so quickly? It seems the legendary eternal genin isn't all that impressive after all." Kakashi thought of Might Guy and his father, and adjusted his mask as he spoke.

"No. Kakashi, this is just the beginning of the battle." Minato Namikaze said solemnly.

Qingyu, who was skilled in Water Release, nodded: "Young ninjas of Konoha, take a good look at the true fighting style of Water Release ninjas."

wow-

The newly appeared Shirahoshi transformed into a water clone. Nawaki was startled, and at that moment, a cold, black kunai appeared around his neck. Shirahoshi stood behind Nawaki with a gloomy expression.

"This is the end."

Seeing this, Rope Tree smiled slightly.

The next second, the rope tree's body turned into flowing water with a splash, and Shirahoshi behind it was slightly startled.

Before he could turn around, Rope Tree suddenly appeared behind him and kicked him: "This is the real end!"

Shirahoshi was kicked away, throwing the kunai in her hand.

This time, the rope tree was indeed its true form. It slightly turned its head to dodge the kunai and said, "Too slow."

Just as Rope Tree finished speaking, he heard a loud thud behind him. He raised an eyebrow and turned around to check what was happening.

Suddenly, the kunai transformed into Shirahoshi, whose hand seals moved with incredible speed, almost like a blur, before finally completing:

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

"Damn it!" Rope Tree no longer had time to form hand seals for defense, so he could only use Water Instantaneous Movement to accelerate.

boom!

The massive fireball struck the pool of water, splashing up sprays of water and thick white mist. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shirahoshi struck a pose:

"Water Release: Kirigakure Jutsu!"

"How is this possible! This is our Hidden Mist Village's Water Release secret technique!" A Hidden Mist Village ninja marked number 47 roared from the side.

“Nothing is impossible. That’s Shirahoshi, the eternal genin of Konoha!” At this moment, Mikoto, who had been worried, became proud and raised her arrogant chin.

The rest of the group: "......" You call this a genin?! What kind of trash are the genin in our village then?!

“It should be called Black Phantom,” Tsunade said, crossing her arms and lifting Gao Feng.

Although Nawaki dodged Shirahoshi's fire-style attack by moving at high speed.

But the mist, which should have been gradually dissipating, began to thicken even more...

"A secret technique of Kirigakure?"

Nawaki adjusted his mask, thinking to himself that he was really not good at fighting while wearing a mask, and sometimes his vision and space couldn't keep up with Shirahoshi's movements.

A flash of white light passed before his eyes. Rope Tree stepped back a small step on the water's surface, dodging Shirahoshi's reverse grip kunai's vertical slash from below.

laugh!

Nawaki slashed forward with his ninja sword, colliding with Shirahoshi's kunai.

"Is this all you have?"

"It seems like you haven't made any progress at all."

"My good teammate, Nawaki."

"!!!!!!"

Nawaki was shocked for a moment, then instinctively put on a cold face, "I don't know who you're talking about!"

Seeing this, Bai Xing's expression became even calmer. "The less calm you are, the more flaws your words will appear."

Tread.

Rope Tree heard the sound of treading water behind him and immediately realized that either the one in front of him was a clone, or the one behind him was a clone: ​​"Stop talking nonsense!"

With a slight compression and condensation of chakra in Nawaki's hand, the ninja sword instantly gained immense power. Shirahoshi in front of him couldn't withstand it, his kunai broke, and a large gash was cut open on the front of his entire body... It was a water clone.

"Behind!" Rope Tree continued to exert his superhuman strength by compressing his hands, and slashed backward with a fierce blow.

boom!

"Nani?!"

Before Rope Tree's attack could even touch Shirahoshi's water clone behind him, an astonishing jet of water erupted from the pool beneath the youth's feet.

Water Release: Twin Streams of Chaotic Waves!

This is a B-level difficulty Water Release: Double Flow Chaotic Wave technique developed by Shirahoshi using the C-level Water Release: Water Chaotic Wave.

Similarly, this Water Release technique requires mastering the nature transformation of Water Release chakra.

When it spits out water to attack, it splits the water column into two, and accelerates the rotation of the two water columns before they reach the target, increasing the impact force of the water flow.

boom! ! !

Rope Tree's body was struck hard by the suddenly appearing rotating water column beneath his feet, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

The fog gradually dissipated at that moment.

pat-

Rope Tree landed and rolled into the ore area where the battle was taking place. Due to the various water escape techniques that had just occurred, the dry sand and gravel area had turned into a lot of sticky brown clay.

Bai Xing stepped out of the small pool, which was about a meter deep, and onto flat ground. "There's been no progress."

"Aside from the faster speed of using ninjutsu, the power of the techniques is quite good."

"That's all."

Rope Tree clutched his chest as he got up from the ground.

Shirahoshi is indeed a monster; no wonder he completes all his missions 100%.

With this level of skill, he's still holding onto the position of a Konoha genin...

"You, you..." Rope Tree didn't know what to say for a moment.

After all, it seems he has lost now...

Click.

"What!" The contemplative Rope Tree heard the slight noise coming from underground and tried to resist.

The kunai flashed past in an instant, leaving Nawaki no time to react.
