Chapter 75: Clash of Geniuses

Chapter 75: Clash of Geniuses (Fourth Update)
"What's going on over there?"

Cod looked at Scallop and asked.

"A boy from Konoha."

Scallop shook his head and said, "But it's just a clone, and I didn't find where the real one is."

"Boy?"

Mei Terumi couldn't help but ask, "How big is it?"

"Pretty much same as you."

Scallop replied.

"He can't be the only one."

Mei Terumi thought for a moment and said, "Scallop-senpai, you continue the hunt, and Cod-senpai, you look for other ninjas nearby."

"It looks like that kid is going to be in trouble. He's been targeted by our little genius."

Cod couldn't help laughing.

Mei Terumi didn't say what she was doing.

But she has always had a strong character, and she will definitely pay back if she suffers a loss.

"Take action."

The scallop flew rapidly on the ground, chasing in the direction where the young man had fled before.

"Be careful."

Codfish gave a reminder and then disappeared on the spot.

Mei Terumi had a serious look on her face, formed seals with her hands, and performed the perception ninjutsu.

over there!
She snorted softly and went into the grove.

"Divide the troops into three groups?"

Hanekawa discovered their actions with the help of an 8x scope.

He hesitated for a few seconds and decided to give up.

Generally speaking, except for geniuses, ninjas who can join the Anbu are at least special jonin.

He definitely can't beat him, so just leave it to Tsunade.

Hanekawa looked at Mei Terumi who was coming towards him, and two kunai appeared in his hands, and then disappeared.

Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!
Mei Terumi reacted quickly and a wall of water flew out from the ground.

The kunai hit the water wall, creating two deep holes.

Mei Terumi's pupils contracted.

Why is this kunai so powerful?
It simply goes against common sense.

Just when she was distracted, two kunai flew over again and hit the previous two kunai.

Boom!
The water wall was broken through.

Mei Terumi subconsciously took out a kunai.

While dodging, she slashed at the kunai closest to her.

A powerful force came.

Mei Terumi's face changed slightly, and she let go of her hand without hesitation, rolling on the ground and creating some distance.

Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, there was a noise above her head.

Mei Terumi looked up, and what she saw was a sword light as bright as a crescent moon.

How can it be?

Wasn't he just over there?
Am I going to die?

The next second, a dragon roar was heard.

On his left side, a stream of water condensed into a dragon and flew towards him, roaring.

It's the cod's salvation.

While he was looking for possible Konoha ninjas nearby, he also kept an eye on Mei Terumi.

Mei Terumi is a genius valued by the elder master. If something happens to her, they cannot afford the consequences.

But he didn't expect that she would be defeated so quickly.

Being able to join the Anbu as an exception, Mei Terumi's strength is naturally not bad. Her attainments in water jutsu are extremely high, far surpassing those of ordinary Chunins.

Hanekawa frowned slightly.

Without much hesitation, he chose the most advantageous way of playing.

While sheathing the knife with both hands, he kicked out, directly hitting Terumi Mei.

The mask on her face shattered instantly and she flew backwards.

Hanekawa turned forcefully in mid-air and slashed at the water dragon with his sword.

The wind-style chakra flows on the blade, emitting a threatening edge.

The water dragon split into two.

"Damn it!"

The side of Terumi Mei's face became swollen.

But she didn't dare to delay any longer. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and staggered to her feet.

"Are you okay?"

Codfish appeared in front of her in an instant.

"Small injury."

Mei Terumi gritted her teeth and said, "We can't let him go!"

Codfish nodded slightly, but when he turned around, he found that Hanekawa had disappeared.

"He can't run away!"

Mei Terumi formed seals with her hands and used the perception ninjutsu again.

shhhhhh!
When she turned around, three shurikens were thrown at her. Cod had already prepared for this, and used the body-flash technique to catch up with the shurikens.

There were three consecutive clanging sounds, and Hanekawa blocked all the shurikens with his samurai sword.

But his eyes blurred and what came into view was the figure of cod.

"Boy, that's it!"

Cod sneered, feeling that he had seen his horrified eyes.

What about genius?
He killed a genius!
Cod raised the ninja sword without mercy.

Blood spurts.

"Senior Cod!"

Mei Terumi's eyes widened and she shouted subconsciously.

Because she saw Cod chopping down trees.

This is... an illusion!
Mei Terumi quickly formed seals.

Water Style: Water Whip!
She held a whip made of water in her hand and swung it out suddenly.

Instantaneous technique!
Hanekawa kicked the tree trunk with one foot and rushed towards Terumi Mei like an arrow.

Although she is a little girl, there is no mercy in battle.

There was a snap.

Mei Terumi turned her wrist and the water whip pulled back.

But she was clearly a step behind.

Hanekawa ignored the water whip behind him and slashed at Mei Terumi with his knife.

The water scattered.

It's a water incarnation.

Hanekawa was startled and turned his head subconsciously.

A water dragon came towards him.

Hanekawa was making hand seals while running.

When he was about to hit, he used the instant body movement technique and his body turned into an afterimage.

Mei Terumi's face turned pale.

This didn’t work?
She, who has always been proud and arrogant, felt seriously frustrated at this moment.

In the Hidden Mist Village, even Zabuza Momochi, who killed all the graduates of the same level, was no match for her.

She is truly the top genius of the younger generation, but she couldn't beat a kid from Konoha.

Hanekawa breathed a sigh of relief.

The C-level item 'Fast as the Wind' which comes with a 100% bonus to leg strength and the teleportation technique saved him.

He looked at Mei Terumi and already had some guesses in his mind.

With this reddish-brown hair, and being able to have such a powerful water-style jutsu at this age, he is most likely the future Fifth Mizukage.

"asshole!"

Cod finally broke free from the illusion.

He rushed towards Hanekawa with an angry look on his face.

He felt extremely humiliated for falling into the illusion of an eight-year-old child.

Hanekawa had expected this.

His illusion definitely can't trap a special jonin.

Hanekawa threw the kunai away casually.

"Kunai, for me, means nothing... Damn it!"

Cod's face changed drastically.

The three kunai thrown out were wrapped with thick detonating talismans.

He initially estimated that there were nine of them, and their combined strength was no less than that of a Fire Style Jonin's full-strength attack.

"Back off, back off!"

The cod called out and ran back at a faster speed.

Mei Terumi was startled, but without any doubt, she jumped back.

A huge roar sounded instantly.

The sky is full of fire.

Nearby trees were set on fire and then turned black.

"Fortunately I have money."

Hanekawa jumped up and landed on the tree.

He knew that Mei Terumi could sense ninjutsu, so he didn't dare to stay.

Instantaneous technique!
With the help of the firelight, Hanekawa moved quickly.

As soon as the cod stood firm, it heard the sound of the wind breaking towards it.

He dodged subconsciously, but it was too late.

Blood splattered everywhere.

A deep gash appeared on Cod's right arm.

He endured the severe pain and rolled on the ground to escape.

Hanekawa couldn't chase anymore and turned to look at Terumi Mei.

Although he had a handsome face, with the blood on his body, he looked ferocious.

Mei Terumi was shocked and subconsciously took two steps back.
