Chapter 122: Heavenly Obstacles and Shocking Stars Multiplied by Six

"So, Lord Mitsuba, why did you stop?"

Above the sea, the huge platform built with Wood Release suddenly and slowly stopped above the sea surface.

"Because I'm afraid you're setting an ambush."

Li Zhongren said with a smile.

"You don't feel comfortable doing business with me. I don't feel comfortable doing business in the Water Country. The high seas are the safest. However, the specific location is naturally for me to choose. I think this place is good. I will only give you ten minutes. If you don't see me within ten minutes, the transaction will be cancelled."

"can."

Mizunotsuki Bing nodded slightly, as he expected. Although he was the deputy marshal, he was actually the real commander this time. After all, Karuta Yagura himself said that he was better at charging into battle. As for the intrigues before the battle, he didn't know much about it, so he could only take over.

In fact, he had thought about this matter before coming.

If Mitsuha Takanashi wasn't alert, he would find it strange.

In fact, the large army has been following them all the time, but they are in the deep sea. This is the combined ninjutsu of the Kirigakure, the combined ninjutsu, water escape technique, and deep diving technique. It is the core ninjutsu that enables the Kirigakure to dominate the sea. Compared with any other ninjutsu, this ninjutsu is the real core secret of the Kirigakure. Only the most trustworthy jonin are qualified to learn this ninjutsu. Of course, the auxiliary ninjutsu learned by the chunin and genin is optional, because the auxiliary ninjutsu does not involve core secrets, and there is no possibility of leaking secrets.

Moreover, he considered more than just this point. The more important and more hidden point was the wooden clone.

The wooden clone does not bleed, and any other ninjutsu cannot distinguish the real from the fake. For now, this is the iron rule of the ninja world. After all, this is a ninjutsu created by the God of Ninja, and its value is unquestionable.

Therefore, he had to confirm whether the Totoro Mitsuha in front of him was her real body. Unless he fought with her, it would be impossible.

However, sometimes there is more than one path to the destination.

The reason why Mitsuha Takanashi dares to trade on the high seas is that her confidence comes from her own Wood Release technique combined with the almost endless chakra provided by the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. So, to change the way of thinking, if the Jinchuriki is real, it means that Mitsuha Takanashi must be real.

Then, how can we be sure that the Jinchūriki is real?
Mizunoe Bing walked to the edge of the Wood Release platform, jumped down lightly, and stood on the sea. Then, he formed seals with his hands and slapped them on the water. In an instant, a large area of ​​sea water under his feet froze into ice. The ice continued to extend and rise upwards, and finally, it turned into an ice pillar whose height was not much shorter than the giant tree built by Li Zhongren. At the top of the ice pillar, there was an ice polyhedron made of ice.

Under the sunlight, this ice polyhedron shines brightly, with dazzling rays of light shooting in all directions. If you stare at the light, you will even feel like you are looking at the sun.
Obviously, this is how Mizunoe Hyō summoned the Kirigakure fleet.

However, no one noticed, or rather, no one could notice.

On one side of the polygonal ice body, there was a unique mirror hidden. The mirror was facing Uzumaki Kushina who was sitting on the top of the tree.

And in the mirror, it was the marshal of the Kirigakure fleet, Karatachi Yagura.

He in the mirror actually constructed another mirror that was completely different from the ice crystal, which was made of water. This mirror was also facing Uzumaki Kushina, but after a while of spinning, the water mirror broke.
That’s right, this is the core method that Mizunoe Hiyori uses to determine whether Mitsuha Takanashi is the real body, using the water mirror technique of Yagura Karuta.

This is an equally rare ninjutsu based on bloodline limits, which can copy an enemy one-to-one, but the premise is that the opponent's strength cannot be much greater than that of Yagura Karatachi, just like Jinchūriki. With his current level, even if he is squeezed dry, he can't use the water mirror technique to copy a Jinchūriki. There is nothing else, the chakra is not enough. Unless one day he suddenly gets lucky and has endless chakra, there is this possibility.
"Whoosh!"

After confirming that the other party was a Jinchūriki, Karutagi Yagura's figure flashed and was reflected from the mirror above to the mirror below the ice technique. This mirror was facing Mizunotsuki Hyō who was standing on the water.

He activated the Water Mirror Technique once again, and the image of Mizunotsuki Bing appeared in the mirror. Finally, he used the ice mirror under Mizunotsuki Bing's feet to perform a final reflection, and quietly went under the water.
It was pitch black in the deep sea, but this did not hinder Yagura Karatachi. As a senior ninja, he only needed a little light to see the surrounding scenery clearly.

For example, he saw clearly that this huge wooden ark had been completely wrapped in Wood Release, including those ships. Their function was only to build the initial framework, just like planting grape vines, you need to build a rack for the grapes.

When these Wood Release techniques mature, these ships will no longer have any meaning or value. Simply piercing these ships will not silence the Ark.

Thinking of this, he grabbed the chakra-wrapped Bakuto Feimo hanging behind him and prepared to set up the detonating talisman. To be honest, even though he was the son-in-law of the Daimyo of the Land of Water, he was reluctant to do so. As the saying goes, war costs money, and he was the real money-waster.
"Ah!"

Karajima Yagura released Mizunotsuki Hyō from the Water Mirror Technique.

Under his control, Mizunotsuki constructed an ice road in front of him, at the bottom of the huge Ark. The two of them stepped on the ice road upside down, stuck the explosive talisman made by Explosive Blade Feimo on the ice road, and then condensed a layer of ice on the explosive talisman.

Doing this has two benefits.

First, prevent the detonating tag from being soaked in water for a long time and becoming ineffective.

Second, prevent the perception of Wood Release.

Since Mitsuha Takanashi's Wood Release can absorb chakra, she must have the ability to perceive. However, the core of the perception ability is still the chakra itself. Mizunotsuki's ice shield can just imprison the chakra, thereby preventing the chakra from flowing under the Wood Release, and ultimately preventing Mitsuha Takanashi from sensing the changes under the hull.

"Walk!!"

Under the sea, Gojutsu Yagura took a look at the Mizunotsuki Ice created by the Water Mirror Technique, and with a thought, the two of them quickly began to set up the detonating talismans. After all, even for a jonin or a mist ninja, there is a limit to the time they can stay underwater without breathing.——
"Mr. Sanye, they are coming."

Mizunoe Bing grabbed the icicle with one hand and looked into the distance. After a moment, he jumped lightly and landed not far from Li Zhongren. By the way, a breeze blew in his face, mixed with bursts of fragrance. It was a pity that Li Zhongren was not from Chengdu, otherwise he would probably say, "Brother, you smell so good."

Li Zhongren looked into the distance and saw several ships sailing towards him at a high speed. After a while, they stopped next to the Ark. Then several Kirigakure ninjas walked down from them. Two of them carried a huge box and placed it in front of Li Zhongren.

The huge box made of some kind of metal was shining in the sun. Just by looking at it, you could tell that the box was extremely strong and was used to store valuable items, such as chakra metal.

Sure enough, after opening it, the box was filled with chakra metal.

"Mr. Mitsuha, here is a billion worth of chakra metal. Do you need to check it?"

Hearing this, Li Zhongren moved his fingers slightly, and a tree root emerged from the ground and gently stroked the metal. The chakra was transferred along the wood to the chakra metal, quickly and transparently, and even had the effect of amplifying the chakra.

"Yes."

"Oh!"

Mizunoe Bing slammed the lid shut.

"Please release my Kirigakure ninjas."

"Let go!"

Soon, hundreds of ninjas with their hands and feet bound and some kind of seal on their bodies were brought out from a building above the Ark and walked all the way to the Kirigakure ship. Li Zhongren stepped on the heavy metal box.

"The deal is over, shall we go our separate ways?"

"Of course, you're welcome."

Mizunotsuki Bing bowed slightly to Li Zhongren, and after a few flashes, she returned to the warship that had already set off.
"boom!!!"

A few breaths later, a shocking explosion resounded throughout the East China Sea.

A huge mushroom cloud, mixed with water mist, rose into the sky!

The huge ark was blown to pieces by countless explosive talismans at that moment.
It's been a long time again
The water mist that was blown up into the sky fell back onto the water surface, creating waves of water mist on the sea surface.
“Gulp~Gulp~”

Bubbles began to appear on the sea surface. Around the center of the explosion, warships slowly floated up from the water. In an instant, a "bo~bo~" sound was heard. That was the huge bubble created by the deep diving technique.
And further away, Touichiro was standing on the back of the three-tailed Isofu, with waves of chills flowing through Isofu's body. This was Touichiro's bloodline limit, Cold Release. It was different from the Mizunotsuki family's Ice Release, which could control water and create ice. His Cold Release could not directly control water, but could only extract the temperature in an area.

But it is precisely this kind of escape technique that is fatal to Isobu, because Isobu has a fatal flaw, that is hibernation. Once the temperature is low enough, it will enter hibernation uncontrollably. Once it enters hibernation, the three-tailed beast will become meat on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.
At this moment, he was looking at the explosion point through the telescope in his hand.
The goal of the first stage, to blow up the mobile ark, was achieved, but there was no feedback from the Nine-Tails' chakra, and no other signs of Wood Release, which instead proved that Mitsuha Takanashi should have made a plan for the ark to be destroyed.

"But where are they?"

Touichiro couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. Although Karuta Yagura's strategy was average, his combat proficiency was fine. If there was something hidden underwater, Touichiro would not let all the warships float on the water.

"Nothing underwater, nothing on the surface of the water, nothing in the sky??"

Instinctively, Touichiro raised the telescope to the sky.

"Ah, this is really in the sky?"

In the telescope, a big tree was slowly falling, but because it was within the range of the midday sunlight, it could not be seen even if he looked up. His telescope was special and could filter out strong light, so he could see it.

The crown of the big tree was wrapped in the chakra of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, forming a huge umbrella that held a large amount of air, so it did not fall directly.

"It's a good plan."

"Isobu, aim there and fire the Tailed Beast Balls, continuously!"

"Roar"

The three-tailed Isobu let out a low roar and slowly raised its head. A large amount of chakra gathered in its mouth. It aimed at a position in the sky and then spewed out a huge Tailed Beast Ball. Moreover, after one Tailed Beast Ball was released, the second one was already gathering.

In fact, in Touichiro's opinion, this is the correct way to open the tailed beast. It is much more useful than any Jinchūriki. With the Tailed Beast Ball, who would fight you in close combat? I will directly cover you with the Tailed Beast Ball!

"Boom!! Boom!! Boom!!!"

The Tailed Beast Ball was flying and spinning in the air like a cannonball. After a few breaths, it hit the giant tree that was unable to change its trajectory and was slowly falling.

However, this time, the Tailed Beast Ball did not achieve the expected results.

The moment the Tailed Beast Ball hit, a barrier visible to the naked eye could be seen appearing around the giant tree.

"The Four Red Yang Formation?"

Obviously, those one thousand ninjas should have been hiding in that giant tree. Under the coordination of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, they used the Four Red Yang Formation to avoid the explosion. Now, they are using the same method to avoid the damage of the Tailed Beast Ball.

However, if that's all, then you have to explain yourself here.

Dongyilang murmured to himself, as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was talking to the person in his mind.

Although the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's chakra is infinite, the other people who build the barrier and bear the chakra flow have unlimited endurance. As long as the Three-Tails continues to use the Tailed Beast Ball to attack the Four Red Yang Formation, the Four Red Yang Formation will eventually be broken.
"what is that?"

Suddenly, Touichiro saw several figures flying out from the giant tree. They were none other than Mitsuha Takanashi's clones. Each of them was facing a Mist Hidden Warship.

"But what good will that do?"

"Kirigakure also has its own defensive barrier."

Just as Touichiro was thinking this in his heart, as expected, the warships of Kirigakure also opened the defensive barrier unique to Kirigakure. However, facing the barrier, several of the Totoro Mitsuha did not have any special reaction. They just pulled out a scroll from their arms, and there seemed to be some kind of mechanical device hanging on the scroll.

"The Sealing Scroll?"

"Is there something sealed inside that can break the barrier, or..."

Touichiro slowly put away the smile on his face, because he suddenly felt that this thing might be the real trump card of Mitsuha Takanashi.

"broken."

In an instant, Touichiro's heart skipped a beat.

As expected, as the seal was lifted, six huge rocks appeared before the Kirigakure ninja.

However, the truly terrifying thing was that these six huge rocks blasted down in the blink of an eye at a speed that was countless times faster than the Tailed Beast Balls. At this time, the six clones of Kotori Mitsuha were only a few dozen meters away from the six warships of Kirigakure. At this distance, it was impossible for them to dodge.
"Boom boom boom boom boom!!!"

The barrier shattered, and the warships in the barrier also shattered like tofu, and many of the mist-hidden ships turned directly into blood mist.
And this was not the end. The boulder finally hit the sea surface and broke into countless pieces under the impact. These fragments flew around like bomb fragments, causing a second wave of casualties.
Finally, the water wall that was tens of meters high and nearly a hundred meters high fell down and hit the sea water fiercely, as if countless people jointly performed the Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique, strangling the remaining Mist Ninjas for the third time.
When the dust settles
The East Sea in the area, just like the land of Sand Village a few months ago, was flooded with red.
"Hey, you saw it, my friends from all over the ninja world, it was the Mist Ninja who started it first. It has nothing to do with me. I was just forced to defend myself."

The giant tree slowly fell into the water and turned sideways like a boat. Standing on the giant tree, Li Zhongren held up a thing that looked like a mechanical puppet and spoke to it.
