Though Habara truly marveled at it, fate really was a wondrous thing. He had actually run into Raiga under circumstances like these.
But no matter how emotional Habara felt, he would never forget what mattered most to him. Likewise, he would never forget how a ninja should act.
A sneak attack was the most basic method of a ninja to begin with. He had never had any interest in wasting half a day talking nonsense with an enemy and then taking up a stance.
Even if he spoke, it was only to use words to draw the other party's attention, then seize the chance to launch a sneak attack. Habara was truly very practiced at this whole routine.
However, Habara's approach did not succeed every single time. For instance, Raiga, whom he faced This Time, was a ninja who had been through countless battles.
"Clang!"
A crisp sound of metal colliding instantly Sounded. His reaction was extremely swift; in the span of an instant, he drew the Ninja Sword from his back and quickly blocked Habara's Kunai!
After that, he immediately counterattacked. The Twin Blades seemed exceptionally light In Hand, and the strangely shaped Ninja Sword, swung at high speed, continuously gave off whistling sounds.
Under his frenzied counterattack, Habara actually fell into a passive position for a time. He discovered that this Raiga seemed far more interesting than he had imagined.
This guy's swordsmanship was extremely powerful, and his speed was also extremely fast. Most importantly, he had been avoiding meeting Habara's Sharingan the entire time.
Just imagine it: Maintaining such a powerful level of attack while also avoiding eye contact to prevent a Genjutsu attack. That already demonstrated where Raiga's strength lay.
"But this guy has still been affected. He's thinking of creating distance."
Although Habara was being suppressed, with the Sharingan, he could still avoid this series of attacks with relative ease.
Moreover, Habara could also clearly sense that there was something wrong with the rhythm of Raiga's offense. And that problem Made Him Looks Like he was fighting fiercely, but the actual effect was quite ordinary.
Under such circumstances, he naturally was unwilling to remain entangled with Habara at close range. By creating distance, he could still use many techniques.
Whether it was techniques unique to his weapon, or the Hiding in Mist Technique that countered the Sharingan so exceedingly well!
Sure enough, in Once Again fierce clash of weapons, Raiga did not hesitate to pull away, taking advantage of the moment when Habara dodged to swiftly open the distance between them.
Though his expression looked somewhat grave, his tone was full of mockery. "You want my life? Are you qualified? Although I defected from Kirigakure, I'm still not someone you can handle as you please!"
"Indeed, Lord Raiga's swordsmanship is certainly powerful enough." Habara steadied himself, gazing at Raiga as he said with a smile, "As for whether I'm qualified, that still depends on the battle. Besides, as a rogue ninja, did Lord Raiga not foresee that this day would come?"
"As a rogue ninja, of course I know what fate may await me. But I never expected the ones who came to be Leaf Ninja."
At This Moment, Raiga suddenly laughed. As he spoke, he had already begun quickly forming Hand Seals.
"But my luck isn't bad. Although I Don't Know where your teammates are, right now there's only you. And you're an Uchiha, too.
Didn't the elders of your clan tell you that, as an Uchiha ninja, you need to be careful when you encounter Mist Ninja?"
As he spoke, Raiga's technique was already prepared. The Chakra within his body began to surge wildly, and in an instant, mist coiled all around them.
Clearly, this was the Hiding in Mist Technique. Faced with the threat of the Sharingan, he cast this technique Without Any hesitation.
"I admit that the Hiding in Mist Technique does indeed have a certain restraining effect on the Sharingan, especially when you inject Chakra on such a large scale."
Seeing the scene In Front Of him, Habara showed not the Slightest panic. On the contrary, he even revealed a faint smile, and that smile also made Raiga feel that something was not quite right.
Only, Habara did not give Raiga any chance to react. A massive amount of Chakra began to erupt from within him, and his body also began to float upward.
"Then let me ask you a question. How large an area can your Hiding in Mist Technique cover?"
As his words fell, Habara had already flown straight into the sky. He stood high in the heavens, looking down from above at Raiga on the ground, whose expression was incomparably ugly.
How large an area the Hiding in Mist Technique could cover depended on how much Chakra he invested into it.
But as a ninja, without absolute certainty, it was impossible to casually stake a large amount of Chakra merely for the sake of trapping a single enemy.
Raiga was a normal ninja, so naturally he would not do that. And now he had an incomparably splitting headache, because he truly had never imagined that this Uchiha could actually fly!
"Flying Ninjutsu, huh? What a pain."
Raiga cursed inwardly, but he did not directly dispel the Hiding in Mist Technique either.
He wanted to see just How Long Habara could keep flying, and also exactly how high he could fly.
If he could not last long, or if he could not fly high, then Raiga could use that to counterattack or flee.
However, Habara had no intention of giving him time to test it at all. He did not even exchange a single polite word with him. In midair, Habara formed Hand Seals with both hands Without the Slightest hesitation.
The fairly decent Chakra inside his body began to surge wildly, and in an instant, even the air around him became somewhat scorching.
"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"
Along With a roar that shot into the sky, a massive fire dragon was spat from Habara's mouth. This fire dragon circled in the air, then fiercely charged down toward the ground.
Seeing this scene, Raiga's expression changed slightly. Then he immediately turned and dodged the enormous fire dragon, while at the same time increasing the density of the mist a little.
Because he sadly discovered that if he did not do this, then that damned Uchiha would definitely lock onto him from the sky, then throw ninjutsu at him without restraint.
"Boom!"
The roaring flame dragon slammed into the ground. A huge explosion instantly resounded across the plain, and the white, dense fog was also dyed with firelight At This Moment, taking on an orange-yellow hue.
Raiga looked somewhat disheveled At This Moment. Although the fierce flames had not touched him, he still felt incomparably hot. The power of that fire dragon truly was not small.
"Damn bastard. Flying Ninjutsu and Fire Release can be used together like this?"
Raiga cursed inwardly, then looked up through the thick mist toward the sky. However, At This Moment, his face became incomparably ugly.
He discovered, with incomparable sorrow, that his method of hiding in the dense mist was completely useless, because this damned Uchiha had not cared about the mist at all.
This guy was once again gathering Chakra, and then he even began forming Hand Seals rapidly.
"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!"
Flames like balsam seeds burst from Habara's mouth, scattering in every direction as they shot straight into that vast bank of dense mist.
Under the control of his Chakra, the flames covered an extremely wide area. To put it bluntly, they directly enveloped the entire range of the Hiding in Mist Technique!
Before he had the Sky Dance Technique, Habara's understanding of the value of Fire Release had actually lain in tactical support.
But after gaining the Sky Dance Technique, Habara had completely magnified that value, because now he could carry out carpet bombing!
As a transmigrator, Habara understood very well what air superiority meant.
