Chapter 183: Battle against the Four-Tails Jinchuriki (th update)

"hateful!"

Yuhi Kurenai asked somewhat dissatisfiedly, "Are all the ninjas in the Hidden Rock Village turtles?"

They have been carrying out missions in the Grass Kingdom for more than a month, but there have been only a few serious battles.

The reason lies in the Iwagakure Village's strategy of avoiding war.

Nohara Lin seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

Her personality is different from Yuhi Kurenai's. She doesn't want anyone to get hurt, so she doesn't want to fight.

Tsunade glanced at Hanekawa, who had his eyes closed.

Now it seems that the purpose of the Iwagakure Village is exactly the same as what this kid had guessed before, and Konoha Village is not their focus.

If we keep avoiding fighting like this, will the Hidden Cloud Village believe it?
Tsunade fell into thought.

She had a feeling that the Iwagakure Village would do something big to completely make the Kumogakure Village let down their guard, but she didn't know what it would be.

"In the southeast direction, we spotted four ninjas from the Iwagakure Village, all of them Chunin."

Hanekawa opened his eyes and said.

"Southeast?"

Tsunade came back to her senses, thought for a moment and said, "The ninjas of the Aburame clan have explored before, and there is a base of the Iwagakure Village over there."

A stronghold is a large outpost with a large number of people.

In addition, Earth Style Ninjutsu is indeed suitable for defense, so the Konoha Village did not directly attack the stronghold.

"It looks like he's out on some mission."

Hanekawa guessed.

"No matter what their mission is, it's their bad luck to meet us!"

Yuhi Kurenai perked up and said.

"Capture him alive as soon as possible."

Tsunade thought for a moment and said, "Let's see what the mission is. Maybe we can get some valuable information."

"Lin, use the spirit transformation technique to control one person."

Hanekawa stood up and said, "Leave the other three to me and Hong."

"Ok!"

Nohara Lin said quickly.

As for Tsunade, there is no need for her to take action unless it involves the jonin.

She could stay where she was and watch over Nohara Lin's body to prevent any problems with her spiritual transformation technique.

Hanekawa and Yuhi Kurenai disappeared instantly.

A moment later, they saw four ninjas from the Iwagakure Village.

Water Release·Water Dragon Bullet Technique!
Hanekawa and Yuhi Kurenai performed seals at the same time.

A roar was heard, and two water dragons flew out one after the other.

"Enemy attack!"

The captain of this ninja team reacted the fastest. He formed seals with his hands and slapped the ground.

The ground rose up and a wall of earth was formed.

But the two water dragons easily broke through the earth wall and smashed down towards them.

"spread!"

The Iwagakure captain shouted hastily.

The four people dispersed in four directions at the same time at an extremely fast speed.

"It's a ninja from Konoha Village!"

A young ninja was the first to notice Kurenai Yuhi and shouted, "Two o'clock!"

"I'll deal with it!"

The only female ninja in the team looked down on Kurenai Yuhi, seeing that she was the closest to her and was a young girl.

Instantaneous technique!
Her body turned into a shadow and came in front of Xihi Kurenai.

But suddenly her body stiffened and she was forced to stop.

A soul wave invisible to the naked eye descended from the sky and penetrated into her body.

"Well done, Lin!"

The reason why Yuhi Kurenai was discovered by her was to act as bait so that Nohara Lin could control her.

Just then, a scream was heard not far away.

The Dance of the Three Suns and Moons!
Three Hanekawas appeared from the smoke.

In just a moment, he appeared in front of the remaining three Iwagakure ninjas.

The knife flashed and blood spurted out.

For Hanekawa, dealing with ordinary ninjas is now effortless, just like chopping melons and vegetables.

Three bangs.

The three Iwagakure ninjas fell to the ground and fell into a coma.

Hanekawa dispersed his shadow clones, walked forward and stabbed them again in the heart.

He suddenly let out a light exclamation.

[B-level Ninjutsu entry: Swordsmanship Special Jonin.]

[Trigger condition: Master the Konoha-style swordsmanship.]

[Effect: The power of Konoha-style swordsmanship increases by 100%, and the power of non-Konoha-style swordsmanship increases by 50%. ]

[Note: Learning and mastering more sword techniques can lead to advancement to A-level sword technique jonin.]

Hanekawa was not surprised to obtain the entry of 'Special Jonin in Swordsmanship' at this time.

After all, he has completely mastered the Konoha style swordsmanship and has learned everything he should learn.

Hanekawa was surprised by the effect of this entry and the path to advancement.

He thought that the 'Swordsmanship Special Jonin' would be the same as the 'Swordsmanship Chunin', which would only increase the power of Konoha-style swordsmanship.

But what he didn't expect was that there was a second effect, which was that the power of all sword techniques except Konoha style swordsmanship was increased by 50%.

This is in line with its path to promotion.

According to the system's standards, the ultimate level of proficiency in a ninjutsu is mastery.

In other words, no matter how much you practice Konoha-style swordsmanship, you won't see any improvement.

After all, the upper limit of this swordsmanship is here.

As for other sword techniques, Hanekawa really couldn't think of anything worth learning at the moment.

Are you going to learn Uchiha Shisui's Uchiha style swordsmanship?

Logically speaking, he definitely wouldn't be able to learn this kind of ninja swordsmanship, after all, his last name wasn't Uchiha.

But it was another matter entirely if the Uchiha took the initiative to teach him.

If Tsunade could become Hokage, then maybe it could work.

Hanekawa thought of his B-level entry 'King of Swords' again, and its effect could be superimposed with the B-level entry 'Special Jonin in Swordsmanship'.

In other words, the power of his Konoha-style swordsmanship is now increased by 200%, and the power of his other swordsmanship is increased by 150%.

Hanekawa stroked his chin.

His swordsmanship eventually became one of his most powerful weapons.

But that's a good thing.

Hanekawa came to his senses and found that Yuhi Kurenai was already interrogating the captured female ninja.

Excellent illusion ninjas often have certain torture abilities.

Although it is not as good as the secret techniques of the Yamanaka clan and the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, it is not difficult to inquire about the mission.

Hanekawa put away the Thunder and Fire Sword and stood aside listening.

Soon, the female ninja told them the mission they were carrying out, which was not complicated, just patrolling around the stronghold.

In addition to their team, four other ninja teams received the same mission.

Hanekawa felt a little strange.

Didn't the Iwagakure Village hide in their base camp and strongholds before? Why did they suddenly start patrolling again?
"Let's go back and discuss it with the teacher."

With a wave of his hand, Hanekawa killed the female ninja, but this was not the end.

He formed seals with his hands and used Fire Style Ninjutsu to burn all four bodies, and then used Earth Style Ninjutsu to bury them in the ground.

In this way, they can delay the time of being discovered as much as possible.

"What information did you get?"

Tsunade asked when she saw them return.

"Is such that."

Hanekawa explained the content of their mission.

"The purpose of the patrol is probably to guard against ninjas from Konoha Village."

Tsunade said thoughtfully, "It seems that this base has some secrets."

"Then shall we go to the base?"

Hanekawa raised his eyebrows and asked.

"go!"

Tsunade stood up and said decisively, "I want to see what the Iwagakure Village is up to!"

The four of them headed southeast.

A few minutes later, a stronghold came into their sight.

Looking at the earth wall three or four meters outside the stronghold, Hanekawa couldn't help but sigh, thinking that earth-style ninjas should do civil engineering.

He formed seals with his hands, closed his eyes, and used the Eye of the Heart.

"There is an anti-perception barrier."

Hanekawa shook his head and said.

"It can protect against perception, but not against the soul."

Tsunade instructed, "Lin, use the spirit transformation technique to sneak in. If you encounter danger, withdraw in time."

The Spiritualization Technique is a soul-based ninjutsu that is extremely rare in the ninja world.

Most barriers cannot protect against souls, but some perception ninjutsu can detect souls, so there is a certain risk.

But fortunately, there are not many ninjutsu that can attack the soul.

"is teacher."

Nohara Rin formed seals with her hands, her body trembled, and her soul went to the Iwagakure Village stronghold.

She sneaked in right under the noses of the Iwagakure ninjas.

Nohara Lin looked around and counted the number of people.

There were quite a few ninjas in this base. She counted them and found that there were about a hundred ninjas.

Just as she was about to leave, a ball of purple-red flame suddenly hit her.

Nohara Lin was startled.

But she is now in a soul state, with fast speed and reaction.

She floated backwards and avoided the purple-red flames.

The next second, a middle-aged ninja wearing purple clothes and with red beard and hair appeared in front of her.

The temperature around suddenly rose, and the heat wave rolled in and spread outward.

Nohara Lin felt a burning sensation.

She suddenly found it incredible.

Because under normal circumstances, Fire Release Ninjutsu cannot affect the soul.

Boom!
The middle-aged ninja threw a punch.

The air twisted, terrible flames shot up into the sky, and the nearby ground melted in an instant.

Nohara Lin's face changed drastically, but suddenly she calmed down.

A damp smell filled the air, and in a blink of an eye, the water wrapped her up, forming an airtight cylindrical wall of water.

The one who has such means is undoubtedly Hanekawa.

"Remove the spirit transformation technique!"

As soon as Hanekawa finished speaking, the water wall was blown up by a punch from the middle-aged ninja.

Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!
Hanekawa clapped his hands and another wall of water rose up.

The art of melting escape and burning river rock!

The middle-aged ninja clasped his hands together, opened his mouth and spit out several huge magma balls.

The magma ball easily broke through the water wall and headed towards Hanekawa.

At this moment, a white figure flashed between the two people.

Strange power!

Tsunade smashed the magma ball without changing her expression.

The unimaginable force turned into a sharp sound of breaking wind, causing bursts of gas explosions.

The middle-aged ninja subconsciously took a few steps back.

He looked at Tsunade and was slightly startled.

"It's Princess Tsunade."

The middle-aged ninja raised his hand and stopped the Iwagakure ninja who was about to make a move behind him.

Although they didn't take any action, Hanekawa and Tsunade were surrounded.

"You used Lava Release, and your chakra was inhumanly huge."

Tsunade said calmly, "You are the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Lao Shi."

"good."

Lao Zi laughed and said confidently, "I just arrived in the Land of Grass and Princess Tsunade came to my door. It seems that I should make a contribution!"

boom!
An aura that was so powerful that it was unmatched burst out from him.

The chakra that had condensed into substance covered his entire body, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a man of fire enveloped by lava.

Hanekawa's face was shocked.

This is Lao Zi's exclusive molten chakra mode, which can greatly increase defense and lethality.

Moreover, the lava all over his body has the power to melt everything, and when combined with physical skills, the effect is outstanding.

The nearby Iwagakure ninjas quickly retreated.

Because of the terrible heat, beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.

Hanekawa recalled Lao Zi's performance in the original work.

Without the tailed beast, he would be an elite jonin.

But when combined with the endless chakra, it becomes even more terrifying.

But it is not unbeatable.

In the original work, Lao Zi was defeated by Hoshigaki Kisame's water jutsu.

Of course, Hoshigaki Kisame's water jutsu is not water jutsu, it's sea jutsu.

But Hanekawa is not unable to do it.

"Death!"

Old Zi didn't say anything and rushed directly towards Tsunade.

"so troublesome."

Tsunade couldn't help but frown.

In the Molten Chakra Mode, she didn't dare to touch him directly.

Strange power!

Tsunade wrapped her arm with chakra and collided with his fist.

Air currents and flames splashed, the ground cracked, and dust flew.

"As expected of Princess Tsunade!"

Lao Zi's body shook and he slid back several meters.

Tsunade had a headache.

The effect of the strange power was not as great as she had imagined, and the Jinchūriki was indeed difficult to deal with.

But fortunately, she had asked Kurenai Yuhi to notify Minato Namikaze, and if she ran at full speed, she would probably arrive in ten minutes or so.

Water Escape·Water Rush Wave!
Hanekawa put his hands together and summoned a stream of water that rose as fast as a tornado.

The water flow formed a big river, rushing towards Lao Zi from top to bottom like a waterfall.

"Although water jutsu can restrain fire jutsu, ordinary water jutsu has no effect on me!"

Lao Zi snorted coldly and formed seals with his hands.

The art of melting escape and burning river rock!

Compared with the previous magma balls, this time there were densely packed magma balls, which fell into the river like meteorites.

In just a few seconds, the river evaporated.

Water Release·Big Explosive Water Wave!
Taking advantage of the time gained by the Water Style: Water Rush Wave, Hanekawa quickly formed hand seals.

All the chakra in the body was mobilized and then released through the throat.

A large amount of water formed waves, which surged outward layer by layer.

In a blink of an eye, the entire stronghold was surrounded by sea water, forming an ellipsoidal water dungeon when viewed from the outside.

"careful!"

"What kind of water escape is this?"

"Everyone spread out!"

The faces of the Iwagakure ninjas who were watching the fun changed drastically, and they each used their own methods to escape.

Tsunade was also a little surprised.

"What a disgusting water escape!"

A vacuum formed around Lao Zi.

But the constant flow of sea water made his molten chakra mode much dimmer.

And most importantly, he knew that in such a seawater environment, water-style ninjas would receive a huge bonus.

Hanekawa took a breath, and while using the Yin Seal to replenish his chakra, he took out the Thunder and Fire Sword.

Attract thunder!

In an instant, the sky became extremely gloomy.

Fire Escape·Dragon Fire Technique!

Hanekawa pointed to the sky and spit out a fire dragon.

"...?"

Lao Zi couldn't help but be stunned. What did this mean?

But soon, he understood.

Because it started raining.

"Teacher, I'll take the lead!"

Hanekawa looked at Lao Zi and said in a deep voice.

If he met another Jinchuriki, he would definitely turn around and run away.

But it was Old Zi who was restrained by Water Style.

With the addition of the 'Rain God' and 'Water Style Special Jonin' entries, Hanekawa's Water Style power increased by 200%.

Coupled with the Yin Seal, he can be said to be one of the strongest water-style ninjas in the ninja world.

Of course, the most important thing is that Minato Namikaze is on his way.

Even if I can't beat him, I should be able to hold on for ten minutes or half an hour.

Tsunade was a little dazed by the sudden outburst of vigor from Hanekawa.

When did this brat grow up to be able to fight against the Jinchūriki?
"It's ridiculous for a little brat to say such outrageous things!"

Old Zi was angered by his words and shouted, "Does this tell you what a Jinchūriki is?!"

His chakra surged again, and four tails emerged behind him.

This is half-tailed beast transformation.
