Have You Heard of Hundred Thousand Volts

Although Karui was somewhat shocked by Moriyue's current display of strength, she didn't believe Moriyue had a chance of winning. She could afford to make countless mistakes, while Moriyue could only afford to make one.

As long as she found an opening, the battle would fall into her rhythm. Her frenzied and swift attacks would definitely overwhelm Moriyue.

Adjusting her breathing, Karui launched another offensive. While the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village were skilled in Nintaijutsu, that didn't mean they couldn't use Ninjutsu.

She quickly decided to use Ninjutsu against Moriyue, feeling no burden about it. My Ninjutsu was all earned through my own hard work. What does it have to do with you not knowing Ninjutsu?

Lightning gathered on her blade. She performed a flourish with one hand, then gripped the hilt with both hands, and thrust her long sword into the ground.

The lightning flowed from the tip of the blade into the ground, but it wasn't absorbed. The lightning power was like a lightning snake with eyes, traveling directly across the surface of the ground and heading straight for Moriyue's position.

"Lightning Release: Severing Lightning Flash!"

At the same time, Karui's body seemed to be wrapped in lightning, her long hair flying in the flickering light of the interweaving lightning. She drew her sword, spun around, and the lightning's power once again clung to the blade. Her figure seemed to merge with the lightning as she swung her sword three times, almost simultaneously. Her forward momentum even surpassed the lightning she had initially released!

"Shadow Lightning Stab!"

Two extremely swift moves struck in succession. Moriyue had been able to deflect the previous move with his taijutsu, but what about these next two?

"As expected of Killer Bee's disciple, your swordsmanship is truly excellent. It's swift yet precise. First, you use your swordplay to lock down the opponent's movement. The lightning snake on the ground is waiting for its moment. One wrong step and the battle will be over."

"Is this the kind of Chunin that the Eight-Tails produced? Their strength is indeed much greater than that of ordinary Chunin. They have the potential to become Jonin."

"Did you guys see how those three swords were swung? It was too fast. I only saw the glint of the blades. Truly amazing..."

The surrounding onlookers were thoroughly entertained. Watching such a battle could broaden their horizons and allow them to enjoy the spectacle. Why wouldn't they?

The gamblers, on the other hand, clutched their exchange tickets tightly. This was a sure win, a guaranteed profit. Who said gamblers always end up with nothing? A gamble could turn a bicycle into a motorcycle, and today was the day they'd turn their fortunes around!

Outside the arena, Yugito Nii's eyebrows were tightly furrowed. She had confidence in Moriyue. With his current strength, dealing with an ordinary Chunin shouldn't be a big problem. However, Karui was a disciple of Killer Bee, and although she didn't want to admit it, that guy was indeed stronger than her.

Even though she had a rough idea of the battle's outcome, she still hoped Moriyue could create a miracle, satisfying a personal desire.

At least in terms of teaching disciples, she had surpassed Killer Bee.

"Come on, prove it to them... You can do it, you can create a miracle..."

Yugito Nii prayed silently, hoping Moriyue could prove himself in front of everyone and gain true acceptance from the Hidden Cloud Village ninjas, at least so he wouldn't end up like her.

As if sensing Yugito Nii's prayer, Moriyue gave her a thumbs-up, assuring her he was fine.

Facing the onslaught of three swords, Moriyue's aura did not falter at all. He secretly activated Rai'gyaku, and wild, bloody lightning appeared on his body. He raised his clumsy iron sword high, his speed nowhere near Karui's.

Laughter erupted from the sidelines. Even their neighbor's second aunt was faster than him. Was he here to make a joke?

However, before their laughter could spread, a thunderous roar reached their ears.

"BOOM!"

Moriyue's raised iron sword descended rapidly. The lightning power within him was even more ferocious than Karui's. After all, Moriyue's lightning was indiscriminate, the kind that harmed the enemy as much as it harmed oneself.

Empowered by the bloody lightning, the iron sword struck the ground heavily like a dog-beating stick, and the resulting shockwave directly dispersed the surging lightning current on the ground.

Shattering the lightning with a single strike, Moriyue didn't stop. The bloody lightning crackled on his muscles, and his body was dyed red. He flashed a sinister smile at Karui, who was rushing towards him.

"Take this."

Karui's heart skipped a beat. She felt that things were not that simple. Weren't they not supposed to use Forbidden Jutsu? Wasn't this what he was using?

"I object! This is unfair! He's using a Forbidden Jutsu, he's already lost!"

"Going back on your word! Do you remember what you said? If you can't play, don't play. Are you giving trash too much credit?"

Some people couldn't sit still. Moriyue using a Forbidden Jutsu, this pure life-draining cheat, was unfair to Karui! It was unfair to their bets!

"Stop shouting, stop shouting. Gamblers should just stay away. Take a good look at that guy's body. If I remember correctly, this move should be Nintaijutsu: Rai'gyaku. It's indeed not a Forbidden Jutsu."

Those who were making a fuss were usually the gamblers. Some true ninjas couldn't stand it anymore. If they wanted to embarrass themselves, they should do it elsewhere, not here.

"Rai'gyaku? That self-harming Nintaijutsu? Although it provides a long-lasting boost, the pain endured is considerable. Few people can successfully cultivate it. That guy learned this Jutsu? Is he tired of living?"

"No, no, I think his choice of this Jutsu is very appropriate. He has also cultivated Forbidden Jutsu, so he's living day by day. Instead of worrying about the future, it's better to seize every opportunity to strengthen himself."

The ninjas began their professional commentary. Compared to the onlookers, they could better see the pros and cons.

However, what Moriyue did next completely shocked even the composed ninjas. After he did this, the future Hidden Cloud Village would have to reclassify Rai'gyaku as a Forbidden Jutsu.

"It's not over yet!"

Moriyue used his hand to prop himself up on the iron sword stuck in the ground, performed a backflip centered on the hilt, spun a few times in the air, and jumped into the air, thus dodging Karui's three strikes.

"An opening!" Karui instinctively drew her sword and thrust. Unable to gain momentum in mid-air, she had become a sitting duck. What better time to attack than now?

She thrust her sword towards the sky, but Karui was surprised to find her body go numb. She couldn't make the movements she intended and could only stand there stiffly.

"Nani? What's going on?" Karui was a bit confused, but Moriyue, now in the air, wouldn't give her a chance. He landed steadily and then collided with the frozen Karui, hugging the dark-skinned girl tightly.

"Have you heard of Hundred Thousand Volts?"

She heard these nonsensical words by her ear, and then she felt her whole body go numb. With a snap, she lost consciousness.
