Chapter 88: Show Your Skills (Part 2)
"Speed alone is useless; efficiency is key!"
"Fierce, it's time to go!"
The playful words of Shisui of the body flicker reached "Fierce" causing his pupils to slightly contract.
Especially recalling Koshino's Wind Teleportation and Kakashi's swift speed when using the Chidori, "Fierce" unwilling to lose to the younger generation, narrowed his eyes.
He immediately formed hand seals and unleashed another Earth Release jutsu!
"Earth Release: Earth Flow River!"
"Rumble!"
"Rumble!"
As soon as the jutsu was completed, "Fierce" who was forming seals, instantly converted his chakra into earth-nature chakra at its peak. He then slammed his hands onto the ground.
Koshino and Kakashi, who were still on the battlefield, noticed the anomaly and quickly used their swift speed to escape, avoiding being caught in "Fierce's" Earth Release jutsu.
At this moment, Shisui of the body flicker, instead of retreating, watched "Fierce" perform the Earth Release jutsu with a faint smile on his lips.
Then, the soil on the ground, guided by "Fierce's" chakra, instantly turned into a near-liquid state, rushing towards the remaining six Jonin-level Mist Anbu.
The mud, flowing like a river, might not be able to directly kill the Jonin-level Mist Anbu. However, under the surging mud, the six Jonin-level Mist Anbu were suddenly separated, each becoming isolated in battle.
Subsequently, Shisui of the body flicker, seeing "Fierce's" Earth Release jutsu dividing the Jonin-level Mist Anbu, had his previously amused gaze turn cold.
Especially as the remaining six Mist Anbu struggled to deal with "Fierce's" second Earth Release jutsu, Shisui of the body flicker directly ordered Koshino and Kakashi:
"Decapitation tactic, take out three of them first!"
"Yes!"
With Shisui of the body flicker's command, even before his figure vanished, Koshino and Kakashi had already disappeared!
Clearly, neither Koshino nor Kakashi wanted to lose to Shisui of the body flicker, but how could Shisui let Koshino and Kakashi surpass him?
In an instant, as "Fierce" maintained the Earth Release jutsu from the rear, he witnessed an intriguing scene as Koshino and the others launched their attack.
One moment, the six Jonin-level Mist Anbu were just troubled by "Fierce's" Earth Release jutsu.
The next moment, three figures from the Blade Squad—Black, Blue, and red—suddenly ambushed three Jonin-level Mist Anbu from the front!
Fast?
They were indeed fast! Shisui and Kakashi using Chidori needed no further explanation!
In the original storyline, Uchiha Shisui earned the title "Shisui of the Body Flicker" precisely because of his body flicker technique.
In the Hidden Leaf Village, probably only the Fourth Hokage's body flicker technique could compete with Shisui's in terms of speed! Kakashi's Chidori also relied on speed to win.
Without the Sharingan, when Kakashi used Chidori at high speed, he couldn't even see the enemy's movements clearly.
Only the Sharingan's insight could keep up with Kakashi's speed when using Chidori, showcasing just how terrifying Kakashi's speed was with the Chidori!
Moreover, Chidori is a jutsu reputed to cut through lightning!
So, when "Fierce" saw Uchiha Shisui and Kakashi, their figures transforming into mysterious dark and shining colored lights, he could only sigh.
Only when he saw Koshino transform into that blue figure, almost matching Shisui of the body flicker and Kakashi in speed, was "Fierce" truly shocked!
"If I remember correctly, both Minato and Shikaku said that the Shadow is only four years old, right?"
"Four years old! Just four years old, and he already has a body technique comparable to Shisui and Kakashi. If he continues to grow in the coming years, won't he become someone like Minato?"
"Yes, indeed!"
"That's Minato's signature Body Flicker Technique! It seems Minato has truly found himself a good disciple!"
Amidst their shock, there was a silent admiration for Koshino. The Wind Body Flicker Technique he used had truly amazed everyone.
Moreover, it wasn't just "Fierce" who was secretly praising Koshino. Even Uchiha Shisui and Kakashi were somewhat terrified witnessing Koshino's Body Flicker Technique.
At this moment, the only one who could focus on dealing with the Mist Anbu in front of them was probably Koshino!
Koshino had this advantage; he rarely got distracted during battles and never underestimated his opponents.
Because, knowing that his own strength wasn't formidable, getting distracted or underestimating the enemy during a battle was a taboo!
So, while Uchiha Shisui and Kakashi were somewhat distracted by Koshino's battle, in front of the Mist Anbu, Koshino was fully displaying the results of his training under the Fourth Hokage!
"Fourth Hokage's secret technique, 'Acceleration' activated!"
"Leaf Hurricane!"
"Boom!"
Transforming into a blue light, Koshino used the Wind Body Flicker to attack the Mist Anbu.
The 'Acceleration' secret technique suddenly manifested, and with its power, Koshino's Leaf Hurricane struck the Mist Anbu's arms.
Although the Mist Anbu blocked with both arms, Koshino's strength wasn't immense.
Yet, with the momentum of his speed, Koshino's Leaf Hurricane in mid-air still made the Mist Anbu stagger, almost knocking him to the ground!
Instead, Koshino, affected by the recoil, quickly controlled the gentle breeze around him to stabilize his retreating body.
However, due to the strong recoil, Koshino couldn't seize the opportunity to attack the Mist Anbu in front of him.
The Mist Anbu, despite staggering, forcibly twisted his ankle to stabilize himself.
As expected of a Mist Jonin from the "Bloody Mist" era. Even with a slight ankle injury, he steadied himself faster than Koshino.
When he looked at Koshino again, his eyes were filled with intense killing intent!
Clearly, Koshino's high-speed attack gave the Mist Jonin a chance. He quickly grasped a kunai, ready to counterattack Koshino!
This sudden reversal shocked "Fierce" in the back! After all, "Fierce" never expected the Mist Anbu to be so decisive in battle, willing to injure his ankle to subdue Koshino.
So, seeing the Mist Anbu suddenly grip a kunai and charge towards Koshino, "Fierce" bit his lip, ready to change his hand seals and use an Earth Release defensive jutsu to protect Koshino.
But the next second, a scene that shocked "Fierce" appeared before his eyes!
Just as the Mist Anbu was about to take Koshino's life, a black shadow suddenly emerged. With a "boom," it knocked the Mist Anbu to the ground!
And just as the Mist Anbu lost his balance and was about to hit the ground, a dark shadow slowly floated behind him.
With a hand glowing with azure chakra, it suddenly pressed a sphere resembling a bright moon onto the Mist Anbu's face!
"Secret Technique!"
"Shadow Hand!"
"Big Ball Rasengan!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
