But Baki was truly in a tragic situation. Large-scale offensive Ninjutsu were certainly effective, but against a sharp, single-target Wind Release technique, they were extremely easy to break through. Although Blade of Severance was not considered a high-level Ninjutsu, it consumed more Chakra than other techniques of the same rank.
It was somewhat similar to the Uchiha's Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique. It was classified as B rank Ninjutsu, yet its Chakra consumption was nearly comparable to an A-rank technique, while its power surpassed that of ordinary A-rank Ninjutsu.
Many people were unwilling to fight that way, but for Kisame Hoshigaki, whose Chakra reserves were astonishing, it was nothing more than a drop in the bucket.
Besides, Samehada was constantly absorbing Baki's Chakra to replenish him. In other words, Kisame Hoshigaki was continuously draining his opponent's Chakra to attack that very opponent.
If he did not think of a solution, Baki would have a very difficult battle ahead of him.
Although Ronglin's Chakra reserves could not compare to Kisame Hoshigaki's, he liked this type of Ninjutsu very much. The hand seals were simple and the technique was faster. Though it consumed a little more Chakra, the attacking power it gained in return was top-notch.
