Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals - Stage Two
"Huh? No explosion?"
Kidomaru was taken aback.
When something you expected from the beginning doesn't happen in the end, the disappointment of that unfulfilled expectation can leave you feeling suddenly empty.
Just as Kidomaru's heart sank, he suddenly felt a whoosh of wind behind his head—
The cat-faced girl whom Kidomaru feared most appeared behind him in the blink of Body Flicker Technique eye, using an ice dart beneath his feet as a medium for her Body Flicker Technique, "Ice Release: Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals"!
After incorporating the Snow Ninja's Ice Body Flicker Technique, Sakura Haruno's "Ice Release: Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals" has entered the second stage.
The second stage of the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals not only increases the speed of the Body Flicker Technique and reduces the sense of imbalance after it Body Flicker Technique, but more importantly, the medium for the Body Flicker Technique Movement is no longer limited to the ice mirror specially made for Ninjutsu...
Instead, like the Ice Body Flicker Technique, as long as a special Ice Release Chakra is attached to a large enough block of ice, the Body Flicker Technique can be performed using that block as a medium!
Therefore, Sakura's initial Ice Release: Swallow Snow Storm was actually just setting up coordinates for the Body Flicker Technique Movement technique on the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals. Of course, she wouldn't follow up with the Dart Explosion Technique to clear away the newly established Body Flicker Technique medium herself...
Kidomaru had no idea that Sakura Haruno's Ninjutsu could be used in such a fancy way. By the time he realized that the cat-faced girl had already Body Flicker Technique behind him, it was too late to react.
"Nintaijutsu: Star Cannon Fist!"
Sakurago's merciless punch sent the unreachable Kidomaru flying far away!
However, this punch did not kill Kidomaru instantly.
"Hmph... Mistake!" Sakura withdrew her fist, the knuckles of her fist showing some abrasions that stung painfully. "Try again!"
This is the result of the Monstrous Strength Technique not being fully unleashed; it lacks a layer of Chakra protection for the body, and its power is not fully realized.
This was Sakura's first time using the Body Flicker Technique and Monstrous Strength Technique to attack, simultaneously activating Cherry Blossom Impact - Stage Two, Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals - Stage Two, and Monstrous Strength Technique. Each of these three Ninjutsu demands an extremely high level of Chakra control. It would be very difficult for an average person to even use just one of them. Therefore, even someone like Sakura Haruno couldn't successfully unleash the full potential of this combo on her first attempt!
Sakura realized that practicing on them first was the right choice; she couldn't imagine what would have happened if that mistake had occurred during her fight with Orochimaru...
That punch just now didn't concentrate the force into a single point on the fist; instead, it dispersed the power. The Star Cannon Hammer converted most of the energy into Kidomaru's kinetic and potential energy. Normally, it should have punched a hole in Kidomaru's Sticky Gold Armor along with his physical body.
Therefore, most of the damage to Kidomaru from this punch was absorbed by the Sticky Gold Armor. Although he was sent flying in a sorry state, he still had the strength to launch a counterattack!
"Secret Technique? Spider Bind Technique!"
The giant spider web, Tayuya's Doki, and the boulder raised by Jirobo all crashed down on the cat-faced ninja at the same time!
Such an attack is, of course, pointless.
Whoosh! Sakura Body Flicker Technique returned to the ice mirror above the Sound Ninja's head, and the Sound Ninja's combined attack predictably failed.
Body Flicker Technique using ice as a medium? Kidomaru landed on the ground, looked at the girl above, and a thought struck him.
No wonder she used that ice dart Ninjutsu without letting it explode...
He glanced at the ground out of the corner of his eye, and his expression immediately changed. "Fatty, quickly destroy the ice darts next to you!"
Jirobo was still a little confused when he heard this.
He was a little dazzled by the two swift and decisive exchanges between Sakura Haruno and Kidomaru.
Jirobo's reaction was slow; he had no idea how the cat-faced girl had appeared behind Kidomaru. If Kidomaru hadn't been knocked away, this fat man with all his strength would probably still be searching for the enemy who had disappeared from the ice mirror.
Although he didn't understand Kidomaru's meaning, he was used to obeying orders and didn't ask any questions.
"Hah!" Jirobo roared, gathering a large amount of Chakra in his hand, and slammed it down onto the ground.
The power of this punch was enough to shatter the nearby ice darts along with the ground. This was the only thing Jirobo, despite his many flaws, was proud of: his unparalleled power!
But the next moment, Jirobo's pride was shattered by a single fist—
"Nintaijutsu: Star Cannon Fist!"
The fat man's punch was too slow; the girl, in her Cherry Blossom Impact state, had plenty of time to react.
Body Flicker Technique, steady yourself, twist your waist, and throw a punch!
This time, she learned from her previous experience and made no mistakes.
Under Sakura's skillful control, the surging Chakra circulated like the most precise machinery, reaching every part of her body, each performing its function, thus fully unleashing the power of the Monstrous Strength Technique.
The moment their fists collided, Jirobo's expression suddenly changed.
The fat man's fists were large, with thick knuckles and knuckles. His frame was thick and sturdy, and the muscles on his arms were bulging, like gnarled old tree roots.
The girl's fist was as white as snow, her wrist was delicate and rounded, her arm was slender and straight, and her muscles were hidden only under her smooth skin, making her look agile and light.
In his State Two, Jirobo's fist, as big as a sand bowl, was more than three times larger than Sakura's fist.
A stark contrast.
The result was that the latter's fists won decisively!
If Jirobo's fighting style is like a charging rhinoceros, even jackals and tigers would find it difficult to withstand its peak and could only avoid its sharp edge;
The ferocity of the Monstrous Strength Technique is like that of a tyrannical and domineering Tyrannosaurus Rex. Even a fierce rhinoceros is nothing more than an ant in front of it, which can easily bite its head and cut it in half!
Crackling sound--
Jirobo heard the sound of bones breaking.
The moment their fists collided, an overwhelming force surged from the ninja opposite them. His fist was like a mere wave before a raging torrent in the face of this immense power!
Jirobo's bones shattered one by one. His knuckles, wrists, arm bones, elbows, and all the way down to his shoulders, ribs, and spine.
Bone fractures, muscle breakdown, nerve necrosis.
He finally understood why Zuo Jin had been left in a state of life or death Sakon taking only one punch.
I really want another potato chip...
This was his last thought.
Then, everything went black, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed unconscious to the ground.
Jirobo was lucky to only suffer severe injuries and be on the verge of death after taking Monstrous Strength Fist its full power.
However, at this very moment, Tayuya and Kidomaru finally launched a threatening attack!
Suddenly, a strange, serpentine creature emerged from beneath Jirobo and lunged at Sakura Haruno.
The girl instinctively raised her foot to kick away the white creature that resembled both a long snake and a worm, only to find that she kicked at nothing. The creature was like a wisp of smoke, without any substance and completely unaffected.
Even stranger, the white worm-like creature bit her leg, and she felt as if it had bitten off some of the Chakra in her leg!
"Hmph... Yin Release transformation Ninjutsu, huh?" Sakura suddenly jumped up, dodging the attack of the other two white worms.
Is this Tayuya's technique...? Sakura had noticed something was wrong with the summoned creatures before, but she hadn't expected this change. These worms only have form, no mass, and are made of very crude Yin Release Chakra; ordinary physical attacks are ineffective against them. They must have originated from the Doki's brain, and the vital point is on the Doki itself...
Tayuya's Yin Release was slightly better than Jirobo's; the worm could actually bite off a tiny bit of her Chakra.
"But getting bitten to death by them would be a minor inconvenience," the girl thought calmly, glancing coldly at the long white worm that brushed past her feet. "And that Kidomaru is up to something too..."
