On the heavy rock slab, the white cloth covering Baki's left cheek fluttered slightly in the wind.
Kitsuchi Tu raises his hand to form the Seal of Confrontation, and Baki similarly raises his hand to form the mudra.
In this situation, his rudeness cannot be tolerated.
In the next instant, Baki's figure blurred as he tried to launch the first attack.
He vanished from the spot.
Whoosh--
A dozen or so Shuriken burst forth as blue light. Kitsuchi narrowed his eyes; this was a characteristic of the shuriken being poisoned.
Goodness, although this is quite normal, it still made Kitsuchi somewhat unhappy.
Just then, a dozen or so Shuriken suddenly changed direction mid-flight, striking the Kitsuchi directly at its vital points.
At the same time, Baki completed the hand seals, his mouth puffing out high.
"Wind Release. Vacuum Great Sphere!"
The high-pressure gas blast struck first, propelling Baki's poisoned Shuriken to its maximum speed.
Seeing this, Kitsuchi quickly formed hand seals and slammed his palms into the ground. "Earth Release: Multiple Earth-Style Walls!"
Several five-meter-thick rock walls suddenly rose from the ground, instantly blocking Baki's Shuriken.
The Shurikens piercing the rock face echoed incessantly, while high-pressure gas blasts blasted spiderweb-like cracks into the rock.
"Wind overcomes earth! No matter how thick your rock wall is, it's useless!"
As he spoke, Baki moved like a ghost, skimming along the ground, and raised his hand to form a hand seal once more.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves!"
A dozen or so transparent wind blades slashed out in a fan shape, cutting through the thick rock wall as easily as slicing tofu.
Boom--
Amidst the flying debris, Kitsuchi's figure retreated rapidly, but was relentlessly pursued by Baki's wind blades.
"Tsuchikage, should we call a halt?"
Halfway up the mountain, Rasa spoke in a rather cryptic tone.
"Hmph! A junior is just a junior; they have no patience at all."
Ōnoki glanced at Rasa with disdain and scoffed.
How could he not know his own son's worth? This is just the beginning.
Sure enough, the next moment...
Taking advantage of the wind blades, Kitsuchi Tu suddenly stopped and slammed his right fist into the ground, condensing earth-yellow Chakra.
"Earth Release: Earth Spear!"
Boom--
As Baki pursued, he felt a violent tremor beneath his feet, and in an instant, hundreds of sharp rock spears burst forth from the ground.
Baki performed a somersault in mid-air, spitting out several wind blades that shattered the nearest stone spears, using the momentum to change direction.
Kitsuchi Tu seemed to have seen through Baki's movements, and raised his hand to form a hand seal before pressing it to the ground.
Earth Release: Rock Spear Prison!
The rock spears that broke through the ground instantly began to writhe as if they were alive, quickly stretching and intertwining to form a cage of earth spikes covering half the field, firmly trapping Baki.
Can you trap my wind?
Baki narrowed his eyes, his figure flashing and shifting within the cage to avoid the rock spears that occasionally attacked him.
"Impressive!" Even Hagoromo couldn't help but praise Kitsuchi's move after seeing it on the screen.
This technique, which transformed the originally hard rock spear into a wriggling Earth Release Nature Transformation, is definitely beyond the reach of most people in the current Shinobi World.
No, it should be said that they are already among the best in the Shinobi World.
Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, Kitsuchi used the Earth Spear to form a hand seal with one hand just now.
As a result, the number and strength of the Earth Spears did not decrease much, truly making them masters of Earth Release.
Upon hearing Baki say this, Kitsuchi Tu gave a simple and honest smile.
To Baki, that smile was like a calamity, and he was deeply shaken.
Earth Release: Split Earth Turning Palm!
Before Baki could react, Kitsuchi launched his killing move.
The entire prison area collapsed instantly. Keep in mind that the thick rock slabs were only resting at the foot of the mountain, not suspended in mid-air.
A hundred-meter-deep pit formed instantly, with a width exceeding tens of meters, causing Baki, who was using the rock spear for support, to lose his balance.
In that instant of weightlessness, the Kitsuchi gave Baki no chance to catch his breath; a giant rock hand suddenly reached out from the pit and grabbed at Baki.
Wind Release: Body Flicker Technique Cut!
In a flash of blue light, the giant rock hand was severed at the wrist.
Using the falling rock, Baki took a step and soared into the air, staggering as he landed.
His left foot had clearly been injured by the giant rock hand just moments before, and was dripping blood.
He looked up at the Kitsuchi with a grim expression. The Body Flicker Technique Cut could be considered his Body Flicker Technique, developed by combining his own Wind Release techniques.
In the end, it was still unavoidable.
"It's over!"
The sound of Kitsuchi resounded like muffled thunder as it slammed its palms together and down hard on the other side of the giant pit.
The rock slab beneath our feet creaked and groaned, then suddenly exploded with a deafening roar.
At the foot of the mountain, the ground on both sides suddenly rises up into arc-shaped rock layers that block out the sky, like the mouth of a giant beast about to close.
"Earth Release: Mountain Earth Technique!"
A sandstorm swept into the sky, and Baki's pupils suddenly contracted; at that moment, he was completely helpless.
Escape? The range of the Mountain Earth Technique covers almost half of the foot of the mountain; where could he escape to?
Should we just tough it out? Even the One-Tail Tailed Beast from the Sunagakure might not be able to withstand this technique!
Um?
Baki noticed that the previously broken rock slabs had now fallen and were wedged right in the middle of the Kitsuchi rock layer.
In a split second between life and death, he rushed towards the area with the densest concentration of rock slabs without hesitation, his Chakra exploding and burning at that moment.
A patch of blue storm stood out brightly against the sandstorm.
--On the honor of Sunagakure!
"Wind Release: Vacuum Great Sickle Weasel!"
The high-speed rotating wind blade tornado slammed directly into the rock wall, producing a piercing cutting sound.
The rock face was forcibly pulled several meters deep, but... it was far from enough!
The thickness of the rock layers brought about by the Kitsuchi Mountain Earth Technique exceeded Baki's estimate.
Seeing its prey about to escape, Kitsuchi showed no mercy and let it go.
"Drink up--!"
The Kitsuchi roared, its Chakra exploding outwards, and the rising rock layers collided violently.
Thump--
The shockwave from the collision reverberated throughout the entire valley, sending dust billowing into the sky and rising into a mushroom cloud.
The entire audience held their breath, their eyes glued to the screen.
When the smoke and dust cleared, the two arc-shaped rock layers fit together perfectly, except for a diamond-shaped gap in the middle that ran directly through the rock mass.
"Cough--"
Baki was in a terrible state, and the white cloth covering his left eye was long gone.
Besides his left foot at the beginning, now even his right arm is twisted unnaturally.
From the gap to his location, intermittent drops of blood dripped onto the ground.
At that moment, Baki trembled as he reached for his ninja tool pouch; his wind couldn't stop!
He absolutely cannot admit defeat, otherwise the dignity of Sunagakure will be lost at this moment!
As the man with Kitsuchi walked over slowly, a look of admiration appeared on his face. This man before him had guts.
However, as long as he hasn't given up, the Kitsuchi will not stop.
"The winds of Sunagakure cannot move the mountains of Iwagakure!"
This was the first time Kitsuchi spoke during the duel, and he immediately raised his right hand high.
The moment the fist is clenched, it transforms into a hard Rock Fist.
Boom--!
"Stop! Sunagakure surrenders!"
The sound of the Rock Fist landing and the shout to stop someone from halfway up the mountain rang out at the same time.
As the dust settled, the Kitsuchi Rock Fist landed on the left side of Baki, where a huge, radial crater had been blasted open.
Baki's Forehead Protector slipped off and fell in front of him, his eyes dimming slightly.
In the end, I had to admit defeat!
