Chapter 9 Water Dragon Bomb? No, Form Ten: Flow of Life (Part 2)

Turn the time back to an hour ago, after Uchiha Itachi and Sasuke Giyuu separated.

The moment Itachi left the training ground No. 4, a slender black cat appeared from the transparency.

Wearing a vest and carrying a small school bag, it is Itachi's ninja cat.

"Did you find out who it was?"

Itachi knelt down and asked softly, taking out a piece of spicy dried fish from his ninja bag and handing it over.

This cat has such a special taste.

"It's Fugaku-sama, nya."

The black cat curled up its tail happily and swallowed the dried fish after chewing it twice. It looked like it was enjoying it very much.

"He was hiding deep in the woods over there, using the wind attribute chakara to blur his figure. Even I almost didn't notice him, nya."

Itachi narrowed his eyes.

[No wonder I felt an inexplicable pressure before, but there was no hostility...]

As early as when the three of them had lunch together, Itachi felt something strange, so he went to the corner on the pretext of going to the toilet, called out the psychic cat with excellent vision, and let him explore the surroundings.

The result was similar to his guess.

After all, it was hard for him to imagine that besides his father, who else would be so interested in the three brothers (Obito & Zetsu: don’t q).

At the moment, Itachi still couldn't figure out when his father started peeping. How much he had seen and heard about the previous things.

Is Yiyong, who opened his eyes at the age of five, really worthy of his attention?

If he also knew that Giyuu possesses water-type chakra with extremely high affinity...

Itachi's expression gradually became serious, far from what he should look like at his age.

The more interested the father is in righteousness, the greater the danger that righteousness faces, and the higher the possibility that he will become a tool of a coup.

Therefore, he had to find out how much his father knew; and what else his father wanted to do now that he was still here.

"Thank you for your hard work. Go back and say hello to everyone for me."

Itachi touched the kitten's head and released the psychic spell.

Then, he separated two shadow clones and said to the first one: "I leave the mission of the Daimyo Madam to you."

"I understand. You have to be careful."

The first clone disappeared instantly.

In fact, Itachi had no interest in the mission at this time, but the daimyo's wife was an important client and could not break the appointment.

Itachi turned to look at the second shadow clone: ​​"You know where Shisui might be. When you ask him to come, tell him to pay attention to my signal."

"knew."

Shadow Clone No. 2 turned around and ran at full speed in the direction of the Uchiha clan.

Itachi sighed helplessly.

Although he didn't want to infer his father with malice, what he heard and saw in the past few years told him that he must use the worst plan to predict the behavior of an Uchiha tribesman.

If his father really knew about Yiyong's situation and planned to use him to deal with the village——

[Then I just ask Shisui to use that technique to make him change his mind. 】

For Itachi, no matter what his father asked him to do, it was fine, but Sasuke and Giyuu were his bottom line and should not be involved in such things.

Even if he has to break up with his father, he must prevent this from happening.

After the two clones completely disappeared from sight, Itachi quietly returned to Theater No. 4 and lurked under the trees marked by the cats.

He opened his Sharingan and finally saw a dark green shadow twenty meters away. His father used the color of wind chakra to hide his figure, blending perfectly with the surrounding leaves.

After finding the target, Itachi immediately looked away to prevent being sensed.

[Obviously I have left, but my father is still waiting here...]

[What is he waiting for? 】

Itachi frowned and made various guesses in his fast-running brain.

In the end, he still felt that he should stay here and wait for things to happen. After all, patience is the most basic quality of a ninja.

Five minutes later, the shadow clone searching for Shisui was released on its own, and the relevant memories were transferred along with it.

After a while, Itachi saw a crow on the treetops behind him, indicating that Shisui had arrived nearby and was lurking in the dark like him.

No one could have imagined that the most talented members of the Uchiha clan would gather together in Theater No. 4 like this to play a game. You stare at me and I stare at him, using the ninja's basic skill of tracking to its fullest potential.

Soon, an hour passed.

When Uchiha Flame appeared in this place, Uchiha Itachi couldn't figure out for a moment whether this was within his father's expectation.

If so, what exactly does his father, who knows that he should be on a mission at the moment, want Uchiha Flame to do?

Was it his father's own plan that lured him here?

Although he knew Shisui was nearby, Itachi was still worried that Sasuke and Giyuu would be harmed.

When Uchiha Enhuo was still a genin, he was a powder keg who dared to barbecue in public and connoted the Hokage to be old, weak and fatuous. He often had conflicts with the clan members within the clan, and it was not strange to do anything he did.

According to the information collected by Itachi, not long ago, because Uchiha Enhuo pursued personal performance too much and disdained cooperation with others, he failed to pass the Jonin examination. He was also criticized on the spot by Elder Mito Kadenen, becoming the new Jonin in Konoha. jokes.

Since he couldn't prove himself through the examination, he set his sights on the young people in the clan whose strength was obvious to all, thinking that as long as he defeated them, he could prove that he had the strength of a Jonin.

Shisui, the most dazzling Uchiha, and Itachi, who was recognized by Shisui, were naturally on his list.

Itachi thought that he was slightly inferior to him in frontal combat, but he had many ways to defeat him.

But he also knew that even if such a person defeated him, he would stick to him endlessly and continue to challenge him, so he simply hid and never went to the training ground within the clan again.

Unexpectedly, he actually found this place.

But when Itachi saw the Uchiha genin being suddenly defeated by Giyuu, he was shocked and decided one thing -

I can't let my father watch anymore.

Although I don’t know how much my father knows, the less the better.

So, he gestured to the crow, or Shisui's clone——

[They will leave it to you. 】

He was confident that he would use tactics to deal with Uchiha Enhuo's bad temper, but Shisui, who had up to par in terms of physical strength, would only be faster than him.

[If the father leaves a shadow clone, destroy him. 】

After conveying the news, Itachi transformed into an ANBU ninja, put on the disaster relief mask given by Giyuu, and threw a kunai directly towards his father's hiding place. The kind that went straight without using the Uchiha clan's Throwing skills.

When the kunai flew over, it was caught between two fingers without any accident, successfully attracting Uchiha Fugaku's attention.

When the Sharingan, whose pupils were far more powerful than Itachi's, looked at him warily, Itachi felt as if the veins behind his knees were crawling with spiders, and he almost lost control of his body.

too strong!

Was this what it felt like to be faced with his father's enemy?

And the difference in pupil power——

[Could it be that father and Shisui have the same eyes? 】

The thought passed away in a flash.

Itachi came back to his senses the moment he fell into a trance, and escaped at great speed. After leaving the training ground No. 4, he continued to rush towards the outskirts of Konoha, but was soon chased away by his father who was even faster. Coming up, the path was blocked by a volley of kunai.

At such a close distance, he didn't expect his transformation technique to be able to hide from his father's Sharingan, so he immediately changed back to his original state.

"Father."

Itachi turned around and took off his mask, bowed slightly and saluted.

Although his attitude was respectful, his face was gloomy.

Fugaku's expression was not much better after his secret was exposed - just now, the shadow clone he left behind was also silently destroyed.

And he could probably guess who did it.

"I have made arrangements for Sasuke and Giyuu."

Itachi said calmly: "Next, I hope to have a conversation with you, between father and son."

Tension spread between the two.

Could it be that this father and son, who have been estranged since two years ago, are finally going to show off their cards to each other?

…

Meanwhile, on the other side.

【what happened? 】

This was the common thought in the minds of all Uchiha people present except for Giyuu.

Looking at the tribesman lying on the ground with his eyes closed, they felt that their eyes were broken.

Among them, Sasuke saw it most clearly, and therefore was the most unbelievable.

When the young tribesman holding the rope walked towards them, he may have been confused by Yiyong's age and did not show any caution, so he was slapped directly below the sternum by Yiyong.

That location was no different from the place where Yiyong attacked when he was angry, but the result was completely different.

He actually, directly, fainted?

A genin wearing a forehead protector was knocked unconscious by Giyugan with a simple punch?

[How much strength does this take? 】

Sasuke clearly thought that he had overestimated his brother enough, but he found that he was wrong again, and he was even a little scared.

He often snatches Yiyong's quilt when he sleeps at night.

However, there was no time to ask or be jealous at this moment. He reached for the ninja tool bag behind his butt with his left hand, and stood side by side with Giyu holding a kunai in his right hand.

Although I don’t know when my brother will come back, and why he didn’t leave a shadow clone as usual...

But he decided to fight against the enemy together with Giyu, and he must not embarrass Itachi who taught him the skills.

The other three people standing in the field exchanged glances with each other, and their eyes no longer looked relaxed as before.

"As expected of the patriarch's son, is he overnourished at such a young age?"

Uchiha Yanhuo raised his eyebrows and said with regret: "Obviously you have such a strong body, but you refuse to serve for the clan, and you also say such a long list of truths... It is really a waste of this talent.

"It seems that the patriarch is still too doting on you..."

If Uchiha Fugaku were here, he would really want to scream that he was wronged.

"Instead of caring about my body, you should care more about the condition of this tribe."

Yiyong retorted expressionlessly: "Based on your attitude towards him, it's easy to see that if you become the leading jounin, your subordinates will probably die soon. The village must have considered this to prevent you from becoming "Jounin."

As a pillar, he naturally has his own subordinates. However, in order to avoid the sacrifice of his subordinates, he has always completed all ghost hunting operations in the area he is responsible for alone.

It's not that he thinks he's so powerful that he can take care of everything, but because he sees others being killed by ghosts, Yiyong will be more painful than being injured himself.

But do ninjas feel the same way?

He didn't know.

But with Uchiha's style, most people would never admit it even if they did.

"A sharp-tongued brat!"

Uchiha Yanhuo was poked in a painful spot again, and his teeth clenched together, eager to give Giyuu a powerful fireball right in the face.

"I was knocked down by a kid who was less than six years old. Do I still need to care about this kind of person?"

He glanced at the genin who fell to the ground, and combined with his previous experience of being laughed at, he made a rather cruel verdict.

"His ninja career ends here, and the humiliation of this incident will stay with him for the rest of his life!"

[Of course, if you are stimulated to open your eyes further, it is another matter. 】

Hearing what he said, the remaining two genin shivered unconsciously.

"Sasuke and I will not tell anyone what happened today, and his reputation will not be damaged."

Yiyong's words made them slightly moved. Do some people take this kind of record seriously?

If it were them, it would probably be a lifelong conversation piece.

"Go away and don't disturb us again."

He stared into Uchiha Yanhuo's eyes and carefully analyzed the opponent: "And even if Itachi is willing to fight you, with your impulsive and simple brain, you will never be his opponent. On the contrary, it will also affect these tribesmen and people." You lose together. Since you regard failure as a shame, stop humiliating yourself."

【oops! 】

Shisui, who was observing in the forest, slapped himself on the forehead.

[How could I forget that the longer Yiyong’s words become, the more irritating they become. 】

Originally, he thought he wouldn't have to show up.

But this time, the conflict was suddenly intensified!

Except for Uchiha Yanhuo, who was about to explode with anger, the other two people who were still conscious looked at each other. It was unclear whether the paralyzed kid wanted to calm them down or anger them, but an emotion called confusion was still with them. Angry hearts burned at the same time.

Especially Uchiha Yanhuo, who had been verbally attacked over and over again, and had completely lost the patience he should have towards children.

"Catch them! Catch them! I'm going to hang that kid up and sew his mouth shut!"

He used his last bit of reason to suppress the urge to take action himself, and shouted angrily: "You two, show some real skills, or go and kill the jounin in the village!"

"yes!"

These two genin, like the one who was knocked unconscious just now, are graduates of this year's ninja school.

After graduation, they rejected the assignment from the village and planned to follow their family's wishes and become his subordinates directly after Uchiha Yanhuo became the leading jounin, so as to avoid being targeted by jounin in the village who were biased against Uchiha.

Therefore, even if they are unwilling to bully the small, they still have to fulfill their boss's instructions seriously.

Especially when these two children are still in danger.

"One for each person."

The two genin looked at each other and assigned tasks, heading towards Giyuu and Sasuke respectively.

[Doesn’t it make sense? 】

Yiyong looked a little confused.

He clearly felt that he had analyzed the other party well, why were they still entangled, and even looked angry.

The one who should be angry is obviously his lunch break, okay?

Unlike Giyu, who tried his best to avoid conflicts, Sasuke looked eager to give it a try.

"Let you also see how powerful I am."

Sasuke was excited to finally have a chance to actually fight.

He swung his small left hand forward, and the three shurikens drew three arc trajectories in different directions, shooting towards the person in front of him.

This is exactly what he studied in the morning, and he didn't expect to use it so soon.

[Use Uchiha's shuriken technique to deal with Uchiha? That's not very smart. 】

Uchiha Enhuo and Shisui, who were observing secretly, thought at the same time.

The latter also had a few shurikens between his fingers just in case. The reason why he didn't take action was because he wanted to see what level Itachi's two younger brothers were able to defeat even the Bandu clan leader Fugaku. If you don't get on, I'll keep a close eye on you here.

Anyway, this distance, with his level of teleportation, is enough to prevent any accidents from happening.

Sure enough, Sasuke's new curved shuriken technique might make civilian ninjas panic a little, but when dealing with Uchiha, it seems like he is trying to do what he does best.

"Kid, I already know what you're just getting started with!"

The genin raised his right hand and threw only one shuriken, but he accurately missed the one in the center. The latter deflected and bounced to the side, and then fell together with the rightmost shuriken.

The last one was knocked away by the genin with a kunai.

He jumped lightly onto a tree nearby, opened a Magatama Sharingan, opened his bow left and right and threw six high-speed rotating shurikens, flying towards Sasuke's body.

"This is a return gift!"

Looking at the sharp edges getting closer and closer to him, Sasuke's face turned pale, thinking that he might not die but be seriously injured today.

But if he had the Sharingan, he could see that the target of those shurikens was not his body, but the position behind him.

The transparent silk threads tied to the shuriken are the real protagonists of this move.

After all, the mission assigned to the genin was not to kill the clan leader's son, but to subdue him.

Therefore, among Uchiha's techniques, there is no more suitable move than this one.

【Do you practice shurikenjutsu? 】

Shisui, who was observing secretly, nodded approvingly, "He is at the level of Itachi when he was seven years old. He is a very good junior."

Just when Sasuke was thinking about his last words because he was not clear about the situation, another Genin chose to fight with Giyuu.

A sheathed ninja sword slashed towards Giyuu's head, but Giyuu dodged it by a millimeter.

He did not use the Sharingan or the transparent world, because the speed of this Genin was far from that level, and he could easily dodge it with his reaction cultivated by years of killing demons.

Taking advantage of the opponent's gap, Giyuu planned to knock him down with one blow like he did to the Genin just now, but because of the previous fortune, he recovered some strength this time.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound came out, and the base of Giyuu's palm hit the Genin's sword process.

But the situation that the Genin fell directly to the ground did not happen as imagined. He was pale, holding his stomach and took two steps back, his eyes full of fear.

Yiyong frowned and used the transparent world in confusion. Only then did he find that the opponent's abdomen was covered with a layer of chakra, which acted as a protective film, but it had been broken up by him and was fading rapidly.

As for the principle, it should be similar to the previous use of test paper to guide the chakra to the acupuncture points on the hand, except that there is an additional process of radiating the chakra to the muscles and skin tissues around the acupuncture points.

This Genin was able to complete this whole process in the instant of being hit, which was already extremely excellent.

However, although he used chakra to cover the body surface to block part of the force, his stomach was still surging at this moment, and sweat continued to pour out on his forehead.

[It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts! ]

[If he hits me again, I will vomit! ]

Just as he was thinking about how to deal with the little devil in front of him, Sasuke's desperate scream attracted Yiyong's attention.

Yiyong turned around quickly, grabbed the six silk threads gathered behind Sasuke and pulled them hard, directly pulling down the Genin who had not reacted at all on the tree.

[Can he see? 】

Uchiha Shisui, who was about to attack, opened his eyes wide.

When Itachi's clone found him, he had already told him briefly about what happened from last night to today, and Giyuu's eyes were naturally opened.

But when Giyuu just grabbed those transparent silk threads that were thinner than fishing lines, he didn't use the Sharingan at all.

What's going on?

And even if he could see them, how could he keep up with the speed of those lines and grab them in his hands with incomparable accuracy?

But his doubts were soon replaced by new shocks.

Just when Giyuu turned his head to help Sasuke, another Genin finally found an opportunity and stabbed Giyuu's vest with the sheathed ninja sword in his hand.

"Little brat, dare you be distracted when fighting with ninjas?"

With such a strong force, if you stab directly with the blade of the ninja sword, you can even break through a wall.

This Genin thought that no matter how strong this kid was, he would most likely be injured, so he felt that victory was in sight.

However——

Giyong turned around in time, extended his left index finger, and stabbed the tip of the ninja sword with great speed.

"Water Breathing·Seventh Form·Shizuku Wave Stab."

This is Shizuku Wave Stab, which is performed purely with body strength! It is also the fastest sword form among all the sword forms of Water Breathing.

The next moment, the scabbard hit by Giyong's finger actually broke directly, exploded into a ripple-shaped circle in mid-air, and then turned into pieces falling from the air.

The Genin only felt a strong shock transmitted from the blade, and involuntarily let go of the handle, but the pain in his hand continued.

Giyong stretched out his hand and grabbed the ninja sword, and cut off the six silk threads held in his right hand directly, and the six shuriken also fell to the ground.

And this is not over yet.

Before the Genin with the knife could react, Giyong had turned around again and hit him on the neck with the handle of the knife, and the former immediately fell into a coma.

The remaining Uchiha Genin who was dragged down by the technique became extremely nervous when he saw Yiyong looking at him expressionlessly, and he just wanted to keep a distance from him.

"Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique!"

He puffed up his cheeks, and his hands quickly formed several seals, spewing out more than a dozen palm-sized flames from his mouth.

These flames, at a speed not inferior to the shuriken, bit towards Yiyong in an arc.

However, Yiyong was not afraid of this red attack. After pushing Sasuke away from where he was, he stomped his feet on the ground and jumped high into the air, like a flying fish jumping over the Phoenix Fire. The ninja sword in his hand looked like it was going to chop directly at the Genin's neck.

"No!"

The Genin shouted in despair, and Yiyong immediately threw the knife and raised his hand. At the moment of landing, he slashed horizontally with his palm and hit the Genin's abdomen.

"Water Breathing, Form 1, Water Surface Slash."

With a "bang", the Genin was smashed into the earth wall beside him by the huge force and buried in a cloud of dust.

At this point, in less than fifteen seconds, the two Genins fainted one after another, either with their eyes rolled back or as weak as mosquito coils. In short, it was impossible for them to stand up in a short time.

In the forest, Uchiha Shisui, who witnessed all this, opened his mouth slightly, not knowing how to convey it to Itachi later.

Uchiha Sasuke was completely numb, pinching his face hard, but he didn't feel any pain.

[Sure enough, it was an illusion...]

And Uchiha Enhuo was a little at a loss.

The first Genin was knocked down because he was not alert at all, so it was understandable.

But the remaining two had already done everything they could without killing anyone——

They had used all the C-level ninjutsu that theoretically only Chunin could learn, but they couldn't even leave a wound on the two brats.

To be honest, even if Uchiha Itachi appeared now and was defeated by him, he would not have the face to say that he won.

At least in terms of training "subordinates", he was far behind.

Besides, if his younger brother who hadn't gone to school was so exaggerated, then Uchiha Itachi, who was five years older than this brat...

"It's over."

Giyuu caught the three Genin and put them in a row, "Take them away, such a fight is meaningless."

[There would be no joy in victory, but guilt because of worrying about their injuries. 】

After all, in Giyuu's eyes, these people were just children.

Uchiha Enhuo didn't say anything. He looked at the appearance of his three subordinates, feeling humiliated and annoyed, but he also understood that at least two of them had tried their best.

Even if it was just based on physical fitness, the strength of this paralyzed brat was far beyond the level that Genin could handle.

[Forget it, let's take them back to heal their wounds first. ]

[I don't have the face to stay any longer. ]

[But I'm still a little unhappy. ]

"Kid, your name is Uchiha Giyuu, right?"

Uchiha Enhuo carried a Genin on one shoulder, and raised another with his left hand, looking at Giyuu's deep eyes and raised his eyebrows.

"Have you really never learned chakra extraction?"

"I just learned it today." Giyuu told the truth.

"Didn't you learn ninjutsu?"

Uchiha Enhuo asked again, not knowing what he was thinking.

"I don't want to learn."

Giyuu shook his head.

Although he didn't want to learn Uchiha's technique, because he opened the [Transparent World] during the battle, he accidentally saw the seal method of the Phoenix Fire Technique and the veins and acupoints of chakra flow clearly...

"Oh."

Uchiha Enhuo suddenly smiled and nodded, "Then you must not have learned it either, how to remove the illusion?"

"No..."

Before Giyuu finished his sentence, he saw the Sharingan in Uchiha Enhuo's eyes turn around, and his whole body suddenly fell into a sluggish state, motionless, and his face suddenly turned extremely pale.

"Giyuu!" Sasuke hurried over, "Giyuu, what's wrong with you?!"

But no matter how he shouted, Giyuu just stared at the front with an ugly face, and soon he even shed tears.

"What did you do?!"

Sasuke turned his head and glared at Uchiha Enhuo, "What did you do to Giyuu?"

"Naraku-Ken no Jutsu, a small D-level illusion that can make him see the thing he fears the most."

Uchiha Enhuo replied, "Looking at his expression, he probably saw that he was spanked by the clan leader.

"This is just a small gift for meeting, there will be no sequelae. When Uchiha Itachi comes back, he will naturally help him to untie it."

He stretched out his foot to trip Sasuke who blocked his way, and said provocatively: "Tell Itachi that you are welcome to come to me to avenge him and his brother."

After that, he took three subordinates and passed through the middle of the two rows of earth flow walls and walked away.

In his opinion, using this low-level illusion, neither causing substantial harm to the kid, but also angering Uchiha Itachi to fight him, it was simply killing two birds with one stone.

However, after walking about twenty steps, he heard Sasuke's somewhat surprised voice.

"Giyuu, are you awake? "

[Are you kidding me?]

Uchiha Enhuo turned his head suddenly, only to find that the child named Giyuu was indeed no longer there.

Giyuu bent down, picked up the ninja sword that had been thrown on the ground before, and turned his head suddenly to look in his direction. A pair of slightly different-colored one-magatama Sharingan stared at him with anger, as if he saw the murderer of his father.

[Sharingan?]

At this moment, Uchiha Enhuo understood that Uchiha Giyuu's current appearance did not walk out of the illusion.

It was just that the thing that frightened him happened to be the thing he wanted to kill.

[You don't want to fight me——]

"Water Breathing..."

Giyuu's hands emitted bursts of blue fluorescence, The water in the artificial lake not far away suddenly surged, and the water in the lake seemed to be summoned and rolled into a long twisted vortex until all the water in it was drained.

"Ten Form..."

Giyuu lowered his body slightly, as if ready to charge!

And the long vortex seemed to be carved and kneaded by invisible hands, and had a general shape.

An ice-blue water dragon about 50 meters long was entrenched behind Giyuu, and it was still growing!

[Hey, hey, hey, hey, what's going on with this water dragon bullet that appeared out of thin air! ]

Uchiha Yanhuo was sweating profusely, and hurriedly threw the three "burdens" on his body to the side, and his hands quickly formed seals like a butterfly turning over a flower.

"Earth Escape·Multiple Earth Flow Wall! "

As he finished the seal, dozens of small earth walls that were already in the venue began to move horizontally and stack on the ground, forming a wide barrier more than three meters thick in front of him!

And earth walls of the same size rose from the ground one after another like arranged bookshelves, completely covering the space between Uchiha Enhuo and Tomioka Giyuu.

Just as the last large earth wall rose, the water dragon behind Giyuu had completely taken shape, and suddenly a bright light flashed in his eyes. He raised his head and let out a dragon roar that resounded through the sky.

"Life Flow!"

Then, the water dragon and Giyuu's body, together with an unstoppable and terrifying force, launched a decisive attack forward!

The first giant earth flow wall was smashed by the dragon head as he turned around, and turned into thousands of earth blocks!

And unlike the B-level ninjutsu Water Style·Water Dragon Bullet-

Every turn and loop of the Ten Forms·Life Flow will strengthen the power of the next attack, each time stronger than the last!

These earth flow walls that are supposed to restrain water style are simply unable to suppress this blue dragon that will continue to grow.

It will eventually bite the body of the guy that Giyuu wants to kill!
