If a Fodder Character Hasn't Died After Two Chapters, Are We Keeping Her Around for New Year?
In that life-or-death moment, Fubuki Kakuyoku made the wrong decision.
She whirled around, hastily raising her hand to try and block the fist.
Then, amidst laughter and cheers, they typed "GG".
Well, there was no laughter or cheers. Fubuki Kakuyoku just watched in horror as the girl's pale fist swung out with unimaginable force.
She raised her hand to block the immense force.
The armor, which was supposed to be immune to Taijutsu, instantly exceeded its immunity limit when subjected to force. In that instant, before the Monstrous Strength Technique, the arms and armor became as soft as tofu, collapsing and deforming under the bombardment of the Star Cannon Hammer, turning into a pool of bloody mud mixed with armor fragments.
Then, Star Cannon Hammer's fist struck Snow Ninja's chest with overwhelming force.
The next moment, Fubuki Kakuyoku's corpse flew more than a hundred meters away.
Seeing the lifeless body slumped to the ground, a phrase suddenly came to Ying's mind: ruthless destruction of beauty.
I never thought I'd become such a ruthless person who destroys flowers... The girl silently berated herself in her heart. But honestly, that word was quite fitting.
In terms of ruthlessness and mercilessness, Sakura's Monstrous Strength Technique could even severely injure Jiraiya nearly kill Sannin, one of the Legendary Sannin, with a single punch. Although Sakura's Nintaijutsu are currently only 30-40% as powerful as Tsunade's, this punch is still undeniably fierce and ruthless.
Fubuki Kakuyoku had many weaknesses: her Taijutsu was poor and her reaction time was slow. However, her biggest problem was her lack of effective combat experience, and the tactics she chose were extremely naive and laughable. She was overly fixated on the girl's Water Release- style techniques, and as a result, when Sakura tried to bluff her, she overreacted and exposed her weaknesses. Then, facing Sakura's superior Nintaijutsu, she didn't know how to adapt to the situation and didn't have Substitution Technique like the Substitution Jutsu. It was quite unjust for her to be killed by a single punch from the Monstrous Strength Technique.
With their powerful armor, ninjas are invincible when their defenses are impenetrable, allowing them to fight with impunity. However, relying on armor to act with impunity in the long run will eventually lead to a loss of adaptability. When facing enemies who can break through their armor, they will be caught off guard and unable to defend themselves effectively.
This is one of the drawbacks of this type of armor.
When it comes to flowers, Fubuki Kakuyoku is truly a greenhouse flower.
Even so, Sakura never expected the battle to end so easily... During the initial probing, she thought Sakura's Ice Release was quite good and her defense was a real headache, but it turned out she was just a paper tiger.
She retracted the Star Cannon Hammer stance and washed her hands with Chakra water.
Let's turn our attention to the other side of the battlefield.
Naruto's opponent Fuyukuma Mizore, is an extremely burly ninja. Therefore, it is obvious that his Taijutsu is also incredibly powerful; although he lacks agility, his strength is immense.
After exchanging blows using their less-than-favorable Ice Release Wind Release techniques, the two of them spontaneously switched to Taijutsu to engage in a prolonged fight.
Naruto's Taijutsu was superior, and with the help of his Shadow Clones, he almost completely suppressed his opponent. However, the Fuyukuma Mizore was tough and thick-skinned, and protected by armor, so Naruto's punches and kicks had no effect on him. After such a long entanglement, the two were still deadlocked.
Fubuki Kakuyoku's defeat broke the deadlock.
Seeing the female ninja die, Fuyukuma Mizore roared in fury, completely ignoring Naruto's presence, and Cherry Blossom Impact without regard for anything else.
How could Naruto miss such a golden opportunity?
"Rasengan!"
Blue Maruko, making her first appearance in the book, achieved a great victory in her first battle, knocking Snow Honeysuckle Bear Ice Rain to the ground in one fell swoop.
A few minutes later.
The corpse of Kazahana Dōtō lay lifeless on the snow, the charred marks left by Lightning Blade's piercing were clearly visible.
The process by which Sasuke defeated Kazahana Dōtō was rather unremarkable.
As the Daimyo of the Land of Snow and the leader of the Snow Ninja, Kazahana Dōtō was indeed stronger than the other Snow Ninja. At least he wasn't like Fubuki Kakuyoku, who was instantly killed by Sakura with a single punch, nor was he like Fuyukuma Mizore, who lost his mind due to excessive grief and anger and was defeated by Naruto's Rasengan. However, when he discovered that his subordinates had been dealt with one by one, and the expected three-on-one attack on Sakura Haruno had turned into him being attacked by three people, his fighting spirit immediately Senri.
Kazahana Dōtō doesn't have much combat experience either—to put it bluntly, there's not much fighting in this remote mountain area, so naturally, there aren't many experienced ninjas. Kazahana Dōtō's last real combat experience was probably during the coup d'état more than a decade ago.
The reason he could hold out for so long was simply because of his amazing armor and his endless stream of Ice Release Ninjutsu.
However, when he was left to fight alone, Kazahana Dōtō began to panic and lose all fighting spirit. He not only had to deal with Sasuke's increasingly fast speed, but also had to be distracted by Sakura and Naruto standing outside the battlefield to avoid being ambushed. With his mind on two things at once, Sasuke quickly seized an opening and pierced through his armor and chest at the same time with a Lightning Blade.
The ruthless warlord who murdered his brother to seize the throne fell to the ground, spitting out blood and foam. His hands flailing limply in the air before he died silently.
The color was now slightly bright, with a faint hint of pale white appearing at the edge.
In the dim light, the scene inside the dark castle gradually became visible. The Snow Ninjas were either injured or dead, and the base had completely collapsed. Apart from the three members of Team 7, no other figures could be seen.
Sakura walked to Kazahana Dōtō's side, gently poked his cold body with the tip of her sandal, confirming Kazahana Dōtō complete death, and said, "So, the mission is over."
She bent down and picked up a piece of armor that had been knocked away by Sasuke's Lightning Blade, examining it closely.
This armor, capable of absorbing Chakra and possessing strong physical defense, greatly surprised her. If the three of them hadn't each had their own offensive Ninjutsu capable of breaking through this armor, this mission might have been fraught with a fierce battle.
"This armor is amazing!" Sakura exclaimed. "I wonder what it's made of?"
Sasuke also flipped through it with interest, examined it carefully, and said, "I've never seen this kind of metal before; it's probably an alloy I've never seen before."
It's probably some kind of precious alloy? There are only three or four sets like this in the entire Land of Snow, which shows how rare it is.
Sakura washed it with water and rubbed it in her palm. The smooth texture felt very smooth and comfortable, like fine porcelain.
Could it be a metal-ceramic composite?
"I could study it if I had time," she thought to herself. But she probably wouldn't have the time—she was too busy studying Ninjutsu.
Moreover, this armor is no longer of much use to her, as she already possesses powerful defensive Ninjutsu.
On the contrary, the weight of the armor would have the opposite effect.
The girl shook her head and put the alloy into her ninja tool bag.
"Can we wear this kind of armor too?" Naruto wasn't interested in these academic questions and asked directly.
"It should be fine, I don't see any restrictions. But I don't want to wear things pulled from dead bodies!" The girl shook her head vigorously, trying to shake off the nauseating feeling. "Besides, we've already destroyed all three of them."
Sasuke waved his hand in disagreement. "We don't need this kind of thing. Relying too much on it will only reduce our adaptability, just like this 'Kazahana Dōtō'."
Naruto thought for a moment, then shook his head and muttered to himself, "Yeah, we can't withstand Sakura's punches anyway..."
Sakura then glared at him and said, "Hmph!"
"Alright, leave the stuff here and go back to tell them," she stretched lazily. "I'll leave one of me here to clean up the mess, everyone else go back and rest!"
On the horizon, beneath the crimson glow of dawn, the first rays of sunlight quietly broke through the horizon.
