Gekko Kado left Nawaki and turned in the direction from which the chill came.
Just as he turned halfway, countless lights flickered before his eyes—a sky full of shuriken.
It was clearly too late to dodge, and there was nowhere to hide.
Gekko Kado swung the branch in his hand, forming an impenetrable barrier.
Clanging sounds rang out as he knocked all the shuriken away.
However, those lights did not disappear, enveloping him.
Gekko Kado felt suspicious and looked closer, startled to realize that thin steel wires were attached to the shuriken.
As the shuriken flew wildly, they wove into a net, entangling his body.
Whoosh!
Clang!
All the steel wires were pulled tight, firmly binding his body.
The other ends of the steel wires converged into a single rope, which Ryosuke held in his hands.
Ryosuke had just emerged from the bushes, and his hands were crackling with lightning.
Crackle!
Electricity shot along the steel wires, and a flash of lightning wrapped around Gekko Kado.
The current came quickly and fiercely, and it also dissipated quickly, exhausting itself in less than two seconds.
Gekko Kado was smoking all over from the electricity, his hair standing on end.
His face turned crimson and somewhat distorted, but he did not disappear.
“Huh, what’s going on?
Is this Shadow Clone so tough?
A C-rank Ninjutsu can’t even take him down?” Ryosuke was greatly surprised.
He had used the C-rank Lightning Release Ninjutsu “Electric Net Thicket” obtained from the Great Elder, but he couldn’t even take down a Shadow Clone, which was a bit outrageous.
Gekko Kado broke free from the steel wires, threw away the tattered branch.
He grinned.
“What, are you surprised?
Did you think you took me down?” Nawaki and Mikoto, who were nearby, felt surprised and became even more cautious.
“You’re not a Shadow Clone, but the real body.” Ryosuke suddenly understood.
In other words, at the very beginning, there was one real body and two Shadow Clones.
Thinking about it, it made sense.
Not everyone could possess the terrifying Chakra and regeneration abilities like Naruto, allowing them to recklessly create a pile of Shadow Clones.
Having two Shadow Clones was already good.
“That’s right.
You three are very lucky to have met me, not a Shadow Clone.” Gekko Kado stood with his hands on his hips, curious about what they would do next.
‘An elite Chunin, huh?
Then he’s not someone who can be defeated in a few moves.
I’ll have to get serious.’ Ryosuke tossed aside the steel wires in his hand and faced Gekko Kado directly, his eyes already transformed into One Tomoe Sharingan.
Actually, if Ryosuke had just used Eye of Pregnancy, Gekko Kado would surely have immediately knelt down.
However, he had no intention of using this abnormal eye.
He needed to train, a cheating “one-shot kill” would have no effect on improving his strength.
“Alright, the second round begins now.” Ryosuke seemed full of confidence.
Nawaki showed no fear, rubbing the red marks on his arm.
The stinging pain made him a bit irritable, and he shouted impatiently, “Then what are we waiting for?
Let’s go together!” “Mmm.” Mikoto responded, her right hand pulling out two shuriken, which she then threw.
Just as they were about to hit Gekko Kado, they touched in mid-air with a clang, changing their trajectory after colliding, one shooting up and the other down towards Gekko Kado.
Although Mikoto had not awakened her Sharingan, the Uchiha Clan’s signature technique was firmly grasped.
Gekko Kado dared not take it head-on and could only dodge.
As soon as he retreated, Nawaki immediately followed up, jumping into the air, his abdomen and mouth bulging.
He then opened his mouth and spewed a torrent of water, impacting Gekko Kado below.
Water Release: Water Trumpet!
Already knowing that Gekko Kado was difficult to deal with, Nawaki increased his Chakra output this time, making the water flow created by this technique fast and fierce, with a wide attack range.
Gekko Kado jumped, wanting to leap onto the tree behind him to avoid the water impact, but just as he retreated into mid-air, he saw a fireball hurtling from the side.
Ryosuke had also made his move, seizing the moment to unleash a Great Fireball Technique, aiming it at Gekko Kado.
An ordinary ninja facing these three continuous waves of attacks would have panicked and already been hit, but Gekko Kado remained remarkably calm.
Hovering in mid-air, he flicked his right hand, throwing a shuriken, which was connected to a thin steel wire.
The shuriken wrapped around a tree branch, and he pulled himself over using the steel wire.
He landed on the tree, allowing the Great Fireball to barely graze his back as it passed.
This Shuriken and steel wire were Ryosuke’s ninja tools, remnants from when he used Electric Net Thicket.
Gekko Kado had actually recycled them, turning them into a means to break out of the situation.
This is the difference in combat experience.
Crackle…
Crackle…
Suddenly, flashes of lightning illuminated the area, drawing everyone’s attention.
Nawaki, Mikoto, and Gekko Kado on the tree all looked at Ryosuke.
Ryosuke’s right hand was holding a fist-sized lightning orb.
“Hmm?
What Ninjutsu is this?” Gekko Kado immediately became alert.
He pulled out a Kunai and held it in front of him, adopting a defensive stance.
This technique is very strong!
Nawaki, who was more than ten meters away, felt the terrifying destructive power contained within the lightning orb up close.
The power of this Ninjutsu was at least B-rank.
Most importantly, he had never seen such a Ninjutsu in the Ninjutsu scrolls left by his two Hokage grandfather and granduncle.
Could this be a Ninjutsu created by Ryosuke himself?
Ryosuke paid no attention to their surprise and caution.
With a flick of his right hand, he threw the lightning orb.
It’s good to live a long life, because if you live long enough, you’ll witness all sorts of strange things.
At this very moment, this thought flashed through Gekko Kado’s mind, as he watched Ryosuke throw the lightning ball.
He had never seen such a bizarre attack.
Have you ever seen someone throw lightning with their bare hands?
Gekko Kado felt like he had broadened his horizons.
The lightning ball flew towards Gekko Kado, stirring up gusts of wind and releasing streaks of lightning as it approached.
Gekko Kado was about to use Body Flicker Technique to escape, but he noticed that the lightning ball flying in mid-air was not right.
It was releasing too much lightning and had expanded several times, becoming a large sphere.
Expand?
No, it’s an explosion!
Boom!!!
Those powerful currents diffused outwards, expanding more than ten times in an instant, forming a cage of electricity.
Then the intertwining currents swept out in all directions.
The shockwave of the explosion hit Nawaki, Mikoto, and Ryosuke, sending them all flying backwards four or five meters before they tumbled into the grass.
