Chapter 244 The Will of Water
Chapter 244 The Will of Water
Feeling of oppression.
This was the first time that Yagura felt oppression from someone other than Uchiha Madara.
But who is Uchiha Madara? He was the strongest man in the ninja world who had been famous since the Warring States Period. In the last battle at the Valley of the End, he lost to the God of the Ninja World, Hashirama Senju, by only half a move.
Could it be that the young man in front of him has already reached that legendary level! ?
Yagura looked up at Lu Li, lowered his waist, and after gathering strength, he was the first to charge towards Lu Li.
At this time, as the Mizukage, he must not retreat, but must be the first to charge, so as to inspire the morale of others.
After transforming into a half-tailed beast, Yagura wielded the black stick and swept towards Lu Li with the power of the Coral Palm.
Lu Li did not underestimate Yagura just because he entered the Sage Mode. In fact, because of Yun Lian's props, Yagura was already stronger than when he first met him. What's more, at this time, the Mizukage was fighting him with the determination to protect the village to the death.
He believes that Yagura's current battle judgment is correct. Complete transformation into a tailed beast can indeed gain the strongest power and is very resistant to attacks, but his flexibility is too poor.
After all, Sanwei is a big turtle and is very clumsy in battle.
Only in the half-tailed beast state can Yagura become the most comprehensive strong man, able to flexibly use various ninjutsu and taijutsu.
The next moment, the prisoner demon and the black stick collided, causing dazzling sparks. The two sides remained deadlocked in the air for a moment before they retreated due to the recoil.
On the surface, it was a battle of equal strength, but Yagura knew in his heart that he was beginning to lose strength.
In the collision just now, he failed to hurt Lu Li at all, but his chest was cut by Lu Li's sword energy, and the corrosive force was hurting his body, making his recovery ability so powerful as a Jinchūriki that it was difficult to use.
Not only that, the knife in Lu Li's hand was still absorbing his chakra, and the amount of chakra he had at this moment was far less abundant than at the beginning.
Fortunately, he was not fighting alone at this time. Kisame took advantage of his main attack and killed Lu Li from the flank. Samehada was very excited about Lu Li's "chakra". Spikes broke through the bandages and came out, baring its fangs and claws at Lu Li.
boom--
The Prisoner and Samehada collided with each other, making a dull sound. It didn't sound like the collision of two swords at all. Instead, when the two swords came into contact, the energy was also pulling each other.
Samehada is essentially a living creature. When the Demon Prisoner Slash strikes Samehada, it will cause damage to it.
In this way, the passive ability of the Demon Prisoner will absorb the remaining chakra in Samehada.
As a result, in this confrontation, not only did Kisame fail to absorb chakra from Lu Li, but he was almost sucked back by Lu Li through his Samehada.
Not only that, the physical ability that Guisame had always been confident in seemed vulnerable in front of Lu Li. In the head-on collision, he only felt an irresistible force coming from his hands, which was about to destroy all the bones in his body.
boom--
Kisame was hit to the ground like a cannonball, creating a deep crater. Yun Lian's forehead was sweating when he saw this, but he was no longer thinking about how to fight with Lu Li and continue his Mist Village cause after defeating Lu Li, but was wondering whether he should run away.
He is an explorer and has no feelings for the Hidden Mist Village. If Lu Li really wants to destroy the Hidden Mist Village, does he have to stay here and be buried with the village?
Running away now would only mean a loss of time and money spent on the preparations. The world of Naruto is so big that there is still a chance to make back the money by going somewhere else.
But if he died at Lu Li's hands, there would be nothing left.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, turned around and ran back.
"Hey, I found a deserter."
When Xinya saw this scene, he grinned, showing his fangs, and pounced towards Yun Lian.
"Go away!"
Yun Lian cursed angrily. He had no intention of getting entangled with Xinya, this stupid snake. He just struck out with a palm. He was an enhancer of the traditional cultivation system in the Tiandao space. He had very comprehensive development and his attributes were better than Xinya's.
Xinya didn't expect that this little guy who had never attacked Lu Li would have such strong strength. He was hit on the chin and even suspended in the air for a moment, then fell to the ground dizzy.
When it stood up, it felt extremely ashamed and angry. It had previously boasted that it would prove that it was the strongest summoning beast.
As a result, it first suffered at the hands of the three-tailed Isobu, and then was knocked over by a small human. Where could it put its snake face?
Rumbling--
Just as it was about to chase, a strong wind passed by it, and it was Yagura who was knocked away and knocked down a row of trees.
Lu Li used the instant step combined with the Lightning Release Chakra mode, and his speed was as fast as a ghost. Most people couldn't even see his shadow. He passed behind Xinya, but his target was not the Water Shadow who had just stood up after being knocked away by him, but the fleeing Yun Lian.
At this moment, every cell in Yun Lian's body was warning him that danger was coming. As he turned around, he activated his profound skills, his robes fluttering, his face flushed red, and an ancient sword appeared in his hand, slashing at the stream of light that was rushing towards him.
As a fourth-level explorer, his overall attributes were actually very high, no worse than Lu Li's current level, but he still wanted to run because he couldn't see Lu Li's movements clearly.
He really wanted to complain, you are holding the Zanpakutō of the god of death, stepping on the god of death's Shunpo, plus the lightning chakra mode, the sage mode buff is maxed out, who would want to play with a wall-hanger like you! ?
With the superposition of various states, Lu Li's speed did not match his attributes at all, and even he, a fourth-level explorer, could not see clearly.
As the saying goes, there is no martial arts in the world that is invincible except speed.
The Fourth Mizukage is an example. Under his control, the three-tailed Isobuki is definitely a smart heavy tank, but in front of Lu Li, isn't he still a tortoise shell being played with? In the end, the Mizukage had to switch to the half-tailed beast state to fight.
Yun Lian didn't want to fight Lu Li in close combat, because he had just reached the fourth level and was still in the transformation period. Lu Li's passive skills were scary to look at, such as Liuying, Bachan, and Lei Guang. If they got in close combat, the result would be either death or injury!
But now the worst situation has come. Lu Li did not chase the Mizukage, but instead targeted him.
Yun Lian mobilized all his strength, and between life and death, he concentrated his mind to the peak and slashed forward with a sword.
wow——
He only heard the sound of the sword cutting through the air, but there was no sound of swords clashing.
The next moment, he heard the sound of an artery being cut and the blade cutting into bone. Then, he felt dizzy and his vision went dark.
Lu Li and Yun Lian passed each other, and when he was still in shape, he swung his sword and blood shone. "How can someone who brought people into the game run away by himself?"
When he turned around, he stepped over Yun Lian's body and looked at the Mizukage and Kisame who had just climbed out of the pit and was still coughing up blood. A standard villain smile appeared on his face, "Come, try to protect your village." "Natural disaster..."
Kisame's face was gloomy. He formed hand seals again and used water burst to change the environment of the battlefield and dived underwater.
Seeing this, Lu Li released a high-voltage electric current into the water, and as a result, the Kisame inside exploded into a ball of water. It turned out to be a water clone.
Lu Li realized that he had taken Kisame for a fool. The other party knew very well that he was a ninja with a Kekkei Genkai of Lightning Release, so it was impossible for him to release his true body into the water after releasing it.
Sure enough, Kisame's real body had already taken advantage of the smoke and dust to use the instant body technique to meet up with the Mizukage. He stretched out his hand towards the water, "Chishoku Same!"
In an instant, sharks leaped out of the water and swooped down towards Lu Li like a storm.
But Lu Li's speed was too fast. He shuttled through the gaps between many sharks. For a moment, a painting composed of dark red lines appeared in the sky. When Lu Li broke through the blockade of Chishoku Shark, he had already arrived in front of Kisame and Yagura.
Yagura and Kisame had a silent understanding. He took a step forward, swung his black stick to engage Lu Li, and blocked Lu Li's sword attack.
Kisame mobilized all the chakra in his body and slapped the water with his hand. A huge shark several dozen meters long jumped out from behind Lu Li, trying to eat him.
There was a look of awareness on Yagura's face. When he was fighting with Lu Li with his stick and sword, the three tails behind him stretched out and tied towards Lu Li. He was actually going to sacrifice himself and die together with Lu Li!
Kisame had no intention of stopping casting the spell. This was his Great Samedan Technique, which could absorb the enemy's chakra attack. If hit by the enemy's chakra attack, the enemy would become bigger and stronger.
As long as he can use this technique to swallow Lu Li, they will win.
He clearly saw the look in Lord Mizukage's eyes just now. Facing such a terrifying enemy like Lu Li, it was impossible to win without any sacrifice.
They must defeat Lu Li, otherwise the Hidden Mist Village will become history today.
boom--
However, Kisame and Yagura also made miscalculations in the tense battle, as a huge figure rushed over and directly knocked the Mizusame bullets apart.
Xin Ya stood behind Lu Li and said, "Hey, have you forgotten about me?"
Kisame's face turned pale. In order to kill Lu Li with that move just now, he had used up all his chakra, and now he didn't have much fighting power left.
"As one of the Seven Mist Blades, you are really strong."
Lu Li sighed, then increased the output of the electric current in his body, shocking Yagura's tail to stiffen it, forcing Yagura back with force, and then slashed at Yagura's neck with a knife.
"Mizukage-sama!"
Seeing this, Kisame stepped forward without hesitation, pushed away the stiff Yagura, and hastily used Samehada to counterattack.
But his chakra was exhausted and he was at the end of his strength. In his hasty attack, he was unable to block Lu Li's sword.
He saw Samehada being pressed against his face, and then flying upwards under the guidance of Lu Li's power. At the moment Samehada flew into the sky, Kisame also subconsciously looked up.
At this moment, he saw the sky, which was no longer foggy because of the battle, and he saw the clear blue sky and the warm sun.
So beautiful.
Kisame thought so.
The next moment, the world fell into darkness, and the beautiful picture was frozen in the last frame.
The Prison Demon slashed across Kisame's neck, ending the life of this strongest of the Seven Mist Swordsmen, who had a rough life.
“Kisame…”
When Yagura saw Kisame's head fall to the ground, he didn't scream, but his tone was filled with sadness and regret.
He was a Mizukage who had failed in his duties, but after learning the truth, the other party still chose to continue following him.
In today's battle, two people he trusted died, but he couldn't stop because of sadness.
Yagura straightened his body, walked to the side and stood in front of Lu Li. Behind him was the main gate of the Hidden Mist Village.
"Mizukage-sama!"
"Come on, Mizukage-sama!"
"Mizukage-sama, quickly defeat the invaders!"
"..."
In the Hidden Mist Village, there were waves of voices cheering for him, as well as many voices expressing deep worry.
And one by one, the jonin, chunin, and even the genin came out, with firm determination on their faces. They looked at Lu Li with hatred, and then looked at Yagura's back with respect.
Feeling these gazes, a smile appeared on Yagura's face again after decades of absence.
He held the black stick with withered flowers in front of him, "Scourge, you can't destroy Kirigakure."
"Can't it be destroyed? But as the Mizukage, you are already on the verge of defeat."
Lu Li stood there, while Xinya leaned over with the snake head lying beside him, the man and the snake intimidating the crowd.
Yagura had a bright smile on his face, "After I was controlled by Uchiha Madara, Kirigakure was under tyranny for decades, but he still failed to destroy this place. Water is something that is both weak and tough. The ninjas of Kirigakure are tougher than you think."
Lu Li stared at Yagura quietly without interrupting him.
Yagura looked at the rare clear sky with emotion, "Even if I die, the flexibility and strength of water will be passed on."
