Water Release Rasengan

Chiba's low shout faded, a wall of water rose from the ground.

"Hmph!" Yaro snorted coldly at the end of the road, raised one hand, and a crimson magic circle was formed.

"Explosive Flame!"

A thick, blazing flame shot out from the unfolded magic circle, hurtling straight into the Water Formation Walls. A hissing sound reached people's ears, and large amounts of water vapor rushed out in both directions.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"

The hand seals changed rapidly, and the water, mixed with steam, rushed towards Yaro and the others.

At the same time, he yelled at Hualun, "Are you fucking done yet?!"

"Alright, alright! But there's no place to land!" Hualun shouted back.

"It's okay, just jump down. You guys go first, I'll hold them off!" Chiba roared.

The Water Dragon Bullet continued to hurtle towards the other end of the passage, but under Yaro's flames, they were constantly reduced to water vapor.

However, he seemed a little agitated. He stepped out and created a magic circle. Then, wisps of flame rose up and transformed into fiery pythons, attacking the Water Dragon Bullet.

The fiery pythons swiftly and decisively suppressed the Water Dragon Bullets, pushing them backward.

"Everyone charge forward and kill them! Reclaim the core!" Yaro roared.

In his view, the core was more important than Chiba, because she was the source of 80 percent of the Shadow Skull' income and the very foundation of their survival.

If the Shadow Skull lose such cargo, they will lose their value to the Magic Council. They might even incur the Council's wrath, leading to the dispatch of a guild alliance to hunt them down, especially now that they are in a semi-wartime state with the Grimoire Heart.

Having lost its core, the Flames of Life and Death, as the strongest guild under the Shadow Skull, will undoubtedly be on the front lines of the battle. He has no desire to face a behemoth like the Grimoire Heart.

A Flames of Life and Death rushed forward, unleashing various spells upon the Water Dragon Bullet, continuously suppressing it.

"Damn it! I can't hold on much longer!" Chiba gritted his teeth and looked behind him. Waves of heat emanated from the iron gate that had been opened with a password. But no one cared about that now; they were jumping down one by one, and it would probably only take them a few seconds to get to the bottom.

But at that moment, all the fire snakes quickly converged into a giant fire snake. The giant fire snake instantly shattered the Water Dragon Bullet and arrived at Chiba's chest at the cave entrance in the blink of an eye.

Mira, who was bringing up the rear, suddenly opened her eyes wide, but it was too late to come back and help.

"Pfft!"

The giant serpent of fire pierced through his clothes and then plunged into his chest. The blazing flames rolled across his chest, charring it black in an instant. The flames surged through his internal organs, burning them almost completely.

Chiba's eyes widened, his face stiffening.

"You must... protect... them, remember... remember..."

"Promise..."

The tall man in front of her slowly collapsed, and at the same time, the magic circle in front of him slowly dissipated into light.

"Ailong..."

Mira's little face was deathly pale.

Chiba lifted his stiff feet, then slowly lowered his gaze, finally fixing it on Ailong, who was burned beyond recognition by the flames.

Chiba has killed people. The first person he killed was Father Bobbit, and later he killed members of the Dark Guild.

He was disoriented and confused for a while after killing Bobbit, but he recovered quickly.

Because he felt he hadn't done anything wrong.

When he killed those members of the dark guilds, he subconsciously felt that killing the innocent people he had taken was a way of doing justice, or rather, a way of upholding righteousness.

He remained calm and showed no emotion.

But now... now that Ailong has shielded him from the attack, why... does he feel a strange sadness?

Thinking about it again, it doesn't seem too hard to understand...

This is the first time... I've seen a friend die in front of me...

He's just... dead...

"Buzz!"

At the point where his palm was joined, there was a Rasengan.

"I know..."

He seemed to be responding to Ailong.

Suppressing her trembling body, Chiba's voice trembled.

"Chiba, come down quickly! Don't let Ailong's sacrifice be in vain!" Mira shouted.

"I'm sorry, Mira..." Chiba raised his face, revealing a ferocious and terrifying expression.

"I must kill him!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he sprinted forward like a cannonball.

"You're asking for death!" Yaro sneered when he saw Chiba charging towards him, then took the lead and transformed into flames to charge forward.

The blazing flames drew near, but Chiba's face remained calm.

"Buzz!"

With a soft hum, a layer of white Chakra clothing instantly covered his body.

A few snow-white dragon scales appeared on its face.

"Buzz!"

With another soft hum, he channeled water into the Rasengan in his hand.

As the water flow increased, all the swirling Chakra eventually turned into water.

And he arrived before Yaro!

With a leap, Chiba landed on top of Yaro.

But the latter was clearly not to be underestimated; it too flew upwards.

"Bang!"

Just as the two clashed, a deafening roar reached everyone's ears. Yaro, who had turned into flames, instantly transformed back into human form and was then slammed into the rocks by the Rasengan attack.

Water Release, Rasengan!

After his duel with Kamuer, he began researching Water Release Ninjutsu. Although he had already learned the Water Dragon Bullet, he wanted to master even stronger Water Release Ninjutsu as a precaution.

However, whether it's Water Dragon Biting Explosion, Water Severing Wave, or Heavenly Weeping, these more powerful Water Release Ninjutsu cannot be learned in such a short time.

So he put his idea into the Rasengan.

As a Ninjutsu without any elemental attribute, the Rasengan is highly adaptable. Naruto, the protagonist of Hokage, even incorporated many different elements into the Rasengan, creating a new ninjutsu each time.

So, Chiba thought of injecting water into the Rasengan.

As he expected, the Water Release Rasengan was successfully completed.

The rapidly rotating and compressed water flow not only counters Fire Style, but also possesses immense power.

And before the collision even began, he had already broken the First Seal.

His strength, speed, reaction time, and Chakra reserves have all increased significantly.

Although it wasn't as intense as when it faced Rina, it was more than enough to deal with this S-Class "goalkeeper".

Ha~ Ha~ Ha~

Chiba leaped back and landed, using almost all of his Chakra, even though it was just a simple Water Release Rasengan: Rasengan, to kill Yaro in one strike.

The latter was smashed into the rock by the Rasengan, its flesh mangled and lifeless.

"He killed the chairman! Quick! Kill him!" Someone noticed that Chiba seemed to be at his last gasp, so they rushed over with swords in hand.

"Get out of here!"

A torrent of darkness repelled the onrushing people. Mira, in her Satan Soul Form, scooped up Chiba around the waist and jumped into the cave entrance.
