A Fierce Battle with a Yuki Clan Jonin
The tense Yuki Clan Jonin turned around and saw Yemo, this little brat. He felt relieved, but then flew into a rage. How dare a mere brat save someone from his clutches?
"You mere brat, you don't even know the meaning of death, yet you dare to try and save someone right in front of your grandpa. If you had just stayed hidden, you might have been able to escape with your life, but instead you've delivered yourself right to my doorstep," the Yuki Clan's Jonin said sinisterly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Before the attack, they had already received orders from above to slaughter the entire Uzumaki Clan, from the elderly to newborns, leaving no one alive.
"Si-Wei-Shen-Hai-Wu-Yin"
Without a word, Yemo Mo rapidly Hand Seals. He was there to deal with this Yuki Clan Jonin, not to stand here and chat idly. Why waste so much time on small talk?
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
This Ninjutsu was the first offensive Ninjutsu Yemo Yemo learned, and it was also the Ninjutsu he used the most and mastered the most. With a shout, Yemo opened his mouth and spat out a fireball. The fireball grew larger in the wind, expanding dozens of times in the blink of an eye, exuding a world-destroying power as it crushed towards the Yuki Clan ninja.
Seeing Yemo activate his Ninjutsu, the Yuki Clan Jonin also rapidly Hand Seals, and judging from the Hand Seals, they were exactly the same as the Ninjutsu Yemo was using.
It's not unusual for ninjas to use the same Ninjutsu in battle, especially low-level C-rank Ninjutsu like the Great Fireball Technique Ninjutsu, which is practically ubiquitous. The Hand Seals are very simple, and almost any ninja with Fire Release Chakra can perform them. However, despite its simplicity, this Ninjutsu is undeniably powerful, and its ease of use and speed make it extremely popular.
Almost the instant Yemo launched his Ninjutsu, the Yuki Clan ninja also launched Ninjutsu. This is the difference between Jonin and an ordinary ninja. Yemo clearly Hand Seals first, but both launched their Ninjutsu at the same time, indicating that the Yuki Clan Jonin Hand Seals speed and Chakra extraction were stronger than Yemo's. Don't underestimate this difference; in real battles, sometimes it is this difference that determines the outcome.
The two enormous fireballs collided heavily like meteorites falling from the sky. Instantly, blinding light radiated in all directions, accompanied by a deafening roar. The two fireballs exploded upon impact, resembling two budding flowers bursting into enormous flames.
The scorching heatwave spread in all directions, and the exploding flames were like demons wielding their claws. Wherever they passed, solid walls cracked and rows of houses collapsed.
The two were not far apart, and the raging flames rushed towards them with menacing force. Yemo quickly Hand Seals, slammed his palms down, and shouted, "Earth Release: Earth Style Wall!"
The ground beneath his feet trembled, and suddenly a wall of Kitsuchi rose up out of thin air in front of Yemo. The earthen wall, like a sturdy guard wielding a golden spear, manipulated the spear to cut through the flames, which flowed to both sides. The scalding flames rushed past Yemo like ocean waves, and waves of heat crashed against his body. In the blink of an eye, Yemo was drenched in sweat, and his clothes were as if he had just been taken out of the water.
The flames subsided quickly, raging for only a dozen seconds before rapidly receding. The scorching heat also dissipated at any moment, and a cool breeze swept over him, making Yemo feel as if he were in an ice cellar, which was very comfortable.
The next second, Yemo's expression changed drastically, as if something had happened. Without saying a word, he immediately retreated rapidly.
Even if the flames dissipate, the wind that comes out now cannot be so cool; it should be scorching hot. Moreover, the surrounding temperature has not only not risen under the raging flames, but has actually dropped. Only the Yuki Clan's Ice Release could achieve this.
Just as Yemo had predicted, the moment he stepped back, the earthen wall in front of him was covered with a layer of pure white ice crystals. The ice spread extremely quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the house where Yemo had just stood was frozen solid. The glittering ice reflected a cold light under the sunlight and emitted wisps of chill.
If Yemo hadn't been observant, his legs would have been frozen solid, making escape impossible and leaving him vulnerable.
The figure of the Yuki Clan Jonin emerged from the ice, his hands still in Hand Seals posture, watching Yemo soaring in the sky, a cold smile playing on his lips.
"Ice Shield, Ice Arrow Kill!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless icy arrows emerged from the mirror-like ice beneath his feet, propelled by an invisible force.
Whoosh... whoosh...
All he could hear was the whistling of arrows. Looking up, he saw countless flying ice arrows, so dense that he couldn't see an end in sight. The Uzumaki Clan who had just been rescued by Yemo Chunin his hair stand on end.
Both Yemo and the Yuki Clan ninjas forgot about the existence of this Uzumaki Clan Chunin; in their eyes, such a minor character was naturally not worth their attention.
The Uzumaki Clan Chunin had been hiding in the shadows for a long time, only to hear the intense battle outside. He was too scared to come out, and only after a while, when no one attacked him, did he finally peek out out of curiosity and see the scene before him.
Especially when they saw Yemo actually Jonin a Jonin from the Yuki Clan and not being at a disadvantage, they were even more shocked. When did Yemo Uzumaki become so strong?
He felt even more that he had wasted his life. This person was so young and could Jonin a Jonin like this, while he was many years older than him and had been easily defeated by the Yuki Clan Jonin.
A hail of arrows hurtled towards him. Now, high in the air, Yemo had nowhere to dodge. His heart tightened, but he didn't hesitate. He quickly took out Kunai from his ninja pouch and swung it with both hands to slash at the incoming arrows.
Clang... clang...
One by one, the sharp arrows shattered with the sound. Yemo swung his kunai with both hands, cutting down the icy arrows one by Kunai, but there were too many arrows, and they kept coming.
Yemo's waving of Kunai impenetrable; he could only hold out for two seconds before a sharp, icy arrow pierced through the blockade and aimed at Yemo right shoulder.
Although Yemo reacted quickly and dodged, the ice arrow did not pierce his shoulder, but it still cut a gash several centimeters deep on his shoulder, and blood gushed out, instantly staining Yemo's shoulder bright red.
A sharp pain shot through Yemo's right shoulder, causing him to pause Yemo. Just then, another arrow whistled through the air. Yemo didn't dodge this one; the arrow pierced the muscle of his left arm, and the immense impact sent him flying. With a thud, he embedded himself in a broken wall.
The arrow was not only sharp, but also extremely cold because it was made of ice. Yemo felt a bone-chilling cold in the muscles of his left arm, and he lost all feeling in it. The chill even surged up his heart through his veins, Yemo subconsciously shivered, exhaling a breath of white cold air.
Yuki Clan Jonin leaped forward, stopping a few steps in front of Yemo, and said smugly, "Kid, the ice created by our Yuki Clan's Kekkei Genkai is no ordinary ice. Those frozen will have their blood vessels sealed in a matter of seconds, and the entire area will lose its mobility. Your left arm should be immobile now, right?"
Upon hearing this, Yemo raised his head, a disdainful smile playing on his lips, and said, "So what? Do you think you've already won?"
"Kid, drop the 'you' and the facts are obvious. I've already won," the Yuki Clan ninja said, spreading his hands and laughing. "Your body is pinned to the wall by the icy arrows, making it difficult to move. Your left arm is immobile, which means you can't Hand Seals, and naturally, you can't use Ninjutsu. What can you do now?"
Upon hearing this, Yemo showed no panic whatsoever, as if he were not yet in dire straits. He laughed dismissively, "Who says that Jonin Hand Seals require two hands in this world?"
The Yuki Clan 'Jonin frowned, suddenly having a bad feeling. Could this brat really form hand Hand Seals with one hand? But how could that be? Even some strong individuals couldn't do that.
His eyes narrowed slightly, a murderous glint in them. He couldn't let this brat live. For some reason, he had a premonition that things would turn out much worse if he delayed.
Just as the Yuki Clan Jonin made a move, the ground beneath his feet suddenly bulged, and the unexpected impact sent the unsuspecting Yuki Clan Jonin flying into the air.
