Battle Against the Four Kage: The Second Mizukage, Part 2
Although the Second Mizukage's water bubble cracked and dented the second Rashomon, it did not break it. Even so, the power of this Super Water Bubble Technique was evident. Being able to break through one Rashomon and shatter the Rashomon was not something that could be done by an ordinary technique. The Second Mizukage had completely mastered the application of the Water Bubble Technique.
"Tiger-Ox-Monkey-Rabbit-Rat-Pig-Rooster-Ox-Horse-Dog-Tiger-Dog-Tiger-Snake-Ox-Monkey-Rabbit, Water Release - Great Waterfall Technique!!!"
With Issui swift hand Hand Seals, a massive amount of water appeared out of thin air before him, surging towards the Second Mizukage with unstoppable force, like a cascading waterfall, rushing forward with overwhelming force!
Upon seeing this, the Fourth Kazekage exclaimed in surprise, "Such impressive Water Release skills! To be able to summon so much water in a place like this is no easy feat. Applying Water Release techniques to this terrain is truly remarkable."
The Second Tsuchikage frowned (did he even have eyebrows?) and said, "Although his Water Release is flawed, don't forget that Kirigakure is the expert in using Water Release. Besides, would attacking the Second Mizukage with Water Release even be effective? Not to mention, the Second Mizukage's Genjutsu 'Mirage' has already temporarily concealed his body. No matter how he attacks, that guy won't get hurt. However, based on the battle just now, the little guy won't do anything futile. He must have some strategy."
But this puzzled me. What was he using this Water Release Ninjutsu for? To attack the Second Mizukage's Summoning, the Mirage? While the Great Waterfall Technique is considered powerful among Water Release Ninjutsu, this kind of attack wouldn't have any effect on the Mirage at all.
"Fire Style - Great Dragon Fire Technique!!!" Before it could think, Issui released another powerful Fire Style, clasped its hands together, and spewed out three huge fire dragons made of flames from its mouth. Following the rushing Water Release, a large amount of water was evaporated by the Fire Style, turning into white mist of water vapor that rose into the air.
"Haha, are you an idiot? You're attacking your own Ninjutsu! Are you missing a screw in your head?" The Second Mizukage burst out laughing at the Issui. Was this kid brain-dead?
Issui the Second Mizukage's arrogant words, Ichisui rapidly Hand Seals: "Lightning Release - ((Super) Thundercloud Technique!!!!"
A large amount of Chakra surged from his body and entered the dark clouds in the sky. These dark clouds were actually clouds formed by the large amount of water vapor produced by the Fire Style just now. The real clouds were not within the reach of the energy of Issui.
"Boom..." Suddenly, dark clouds rolled across the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and blue-purple electric snakes darted back and forth among the clouds, sometimes separating, sometimes crossing, and sometimes overlapping, dazzling the eyes. The dense dark clouds rendered the clear sky into a gloomy scene, and the bright light remained outside the clouds, unable to shine down, and the world instantly became dark and gloomy.
"What is this?!" The Third Raikage stared in astonishment at the dark clouds and lightning in the sky. This kind of celestial manipulation technique was no ordinary creation. Presumably, the Water Release and Fire Style used earlier were prepared for this Ninjutsu. This technique was certainly worthy of being classified Profound Mystery Ninjutsu. It was unexpected that combining several simple Ninjutsu techniques could create such a powerful Profound Mystery Ninjutsu. Truly remarkable! Judging by the energy reaction, an ordinary Kage Level ninja would likely die instantly upon contact. The Mizukage was in trouble. Meanwhile, the Mirage Technique released by the Mirage had already used the refraction of light to teleport the Second Mizukage's body to another direction. A direct attack from the Issui was naturally impossible to hit. However, when the attack range expanded to encompass the entire battlefield, there was no way he could dodge it. Moreover, under that intensity of Lightning Release, even the strongest defense of the Mirage was useless.
"Lightning Release: Romance of Dragons and Snakes!!!" A large amount of Chakra essence gushed out from Issui's body and entered the clouds.
"Whoosh... Roar-- Hiss..." A giant dragon made of blue-purple lightning emerged from the dark clouds, roaring with great intelligence at the Second Mizukage below. The lightning dragon moved freely back and forth in the dark clouds, growing stronger with each turn.
"Roar... Roar... Roar..." Immediately afterwards, a large number of thunder dragons emerged from the rolling thunderclouds, interspersed with numerous thunder serpents. The dragons and serpents mingled and evolved, weaving back and forth within the thunderclouds. With each wave of their movement, they grew stronger and expanded the range of the thunderclouds.
The Second Mizukage's expression changed drastically as he looked at the apocalyptic scene above him. He had no confidence that he could withstand such an attack. The child's power far exceeded his imagination. It was now unlikely that he could stop this technique in the next Issui. If he had stopped it earlier, there would have been a chance, but he had already missed that best opportunity. It was too late. The two Ninjutsu he had used before were preparations for the current Ninjutsu. Feigning weakness made it easier to succeed. Feigning weakness did not mean retreating, but merely temporarily avoiding the sharp edge. When the time came, he would make a stunning appearance and shock everyone!
"Retreat, or we'll get involved too. Although we won't die, it's not something to brag about for four Kage to be defeated by a junior at the same time. In that case, our past reputation will be meaningless." The Second Tsuchikage said calmly, taking the initiative to retreat from the area covered by the thundercloud.
The Fourth Kazekage and the Third Raikage followed the Second Tsuchikage and retreated to a safe place.
"Boom... Boom..." Without any warning, the rolling thunder dragons and lightning snakes crashed down from the thunderclouds with lightning speed. All that could be seen was a large number of lightning sparks and lightning flowers, the sky was dyed a dark purple color, and the dense thunderclouds gathered and dispersed. When they gathered together, they were thunder dragons and lightning snakes, and when they separated, they were raging thunder and purple lightning.
The magnificent thunder dragons and lightning snakes will cover the entire battlefield area from the sky to the ground. Under such circumstances, you can't see anything. The bright lightning alone is enough to blind everyone. To see? That's just wishful thinking.
"Squeak..." In an instant, the enormous mirage was pierced by lightning. Countless lightning dragons and snakes darted through its body. In a flash, its figure turned into a pile of dust. It had been killed by the power of lightning. What remained was only ashes. No, it shouldn't be called ashes. After all, the mirage was a soft-bodied creature. It should be called dust.
At the moment of the mirage's death, the Second Mizukage's wretched body was revealed, but this time he couldn't escape. Immediately afterwards, a large number of lightning dragons and electric snakes charged in.
The Second Mizukage's face was pale. This time, no matter what, he was finished. Although the Impure World Reincarnation body could heal infinitely, there was a limit to its capacity. Beyond that limit, he couldn't recover no matter what. Such a lightning Ninjutsu was enough to turn his body to ashes in an instant. He never expected to be toyed with by this brat today. He was truly pathetic, and even let that Second Tsuchikage look down on him and laugh at him. He was truly unwilling to accept it.
No, I can't give up. I'm going to make this guy understand how powerful I am, and I'll drag him down with me even when I'm dying.
"Secret Technique - Steaming Danger Tyranny!" The Second Mizukage unleashed his powerful advanced Secret Technique the instant the lightning struck.
Instantly, a small figure resembling the Second Mizukage separated from the Second Tsuchikage. As soon as it emerged, the clone rapidly ran towards Issui, growing larger and larger with each step, eventually swelling to the size of a multi-story building before reaching Issui's feet.
At this moment, the Second Mizukage's body was already entangled and pierced by numerous lightning dragons and snakes. However, he showed no panic. Instead, he looked at Mizukage with Issui ferocious expression, smiled contemptuously, and shouted, "Explode!!!!" "Boom!!"
Issui quickly left the Second Mizukage's massive clone. He only heard a loud bang, then his ears went completely silent. He could only vaguely see a wide-ranging explosion before all sound ceased. The explosion came and went quickly, probably because the Second Mizukage was already dead. Without a host's support, even the most powerful thing is useless.
The lightning dragon and electric snakes wreaked havoc on the entire battlefield for ten minutes before finally stopping. When all the dust settled, the Second Mizukage was nowhere to be seen; he was probably reduced to ashes. He thought he could pull himself up with him before he died? How naive! In any case, once his attack reached him, he was already finished, and naturally, no attack from him could cause him any harm.
In fact, logically speaking, the Second Mizukage's super Ninjutsu "Steaming Danger Tyranny" shouldn't be that simple. The basic principle of this technique is to create clones in the shape of children using oil and water. They are fast, extremely agile, and can self-destruct indefinitely.
The child's exterior is made of oil, but inside it's all water. Once the clone begins to move, the oil on its surface heats up rapidly, causing the water inside to evaporate quickly, resulting in a water vapor explosion. At this point, the clone shrinks back to its original size. Then, affected by the water vapor explosion, the surrounding air rises to high altitudes and forms hail. The hail falls, and the clone absorbs it to prepare for the next explosion, creating an endless cycle.
In short, the Second Mizukage's special technique is also very powerful. After all, the Second Tsuchikage's full-body bandage appearance was caused by this technique. If this clone were allowed to self-destruct indefinitely, even the Issui would have a headache.
It can be said that the Second Mizukage and Issui's strength were not even in the same league. Even without using the Kekkei Genkai Eye of Heaven, Issui still beat him to Issui. After Summoning the Mirage, Ikki thought he would have a slight advantage, but Issui wiped him out with a single powerful move, and Ikki himself was also killed.
The key factor was battlefield intelligence analysis. If the Second Mizukage had been able to determine earlier that the preparations before Issui's final ultimate move were to lay the groundwork, he could have reacted accordingly. Without the generation of a large amount of water vapor, there would have been no subsequent Profound Mystery Lightning Release...
