Without needing to say anything, Obito understood Kakashi's thoughts from his gaze alone.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
Obito immediately gathered Chakra in his throat, swiftly formed hand seals, and spewed out a massive amount of flames that formed a fireball, hurtling toward Raiga Kurosuki, who was closest to them.
Because of his ninja sword's abilities, Raiga Kurosuki had put more effort into Lightning Release, but as a Hidden Mist Village jonin, he was also quite skilled in Water Release.
Facing the incoming fireball, Raiga Kurosuki neither dodged nor retreated. He spat out a stream of water that canceled out Obito's Great Fireball.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!
After Obito unleashed the Great Fireball, Shisui used the fireball as visual cover and immediately flung several flame-wreathed shuriken at Raiga Kurosuki.
Kakashi, who had been gathering strength all this time, gripped the White Fang Short Blade tightly. He converted all the Chakra in his legs into Lightning Release Chakra, stimulating his cells and boosting his strength. The instant Raiga Kurosuki revealed the slightest opening, he would strike with thunderous force.
Due to the gap in strength and reputation between both sides, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen did not regard them as real opponents. Kakashi intended to seize this opportunity to focus their fire and eliminate one of them instantly, which would make the rest of the battle much easier.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Juzo Biwa formed hand seals and spat out a water dragon that coiled around Raiga Kurosuki, blocking every flaming shuriken Shisui had thrown before continuing toward Kakashi and the others.
Kakashi sighed inwardly. They might not have been considered opponents, but their enemies were still the famed Seven Ninja Swordsmen. Their little scheme had been seen through.
The next moment, Suikazan Fuguki, Jinin Akebino, Kushimaru Kuriarare, and Raiga Kurosuki
