Water Style: Water Fang Blade! Believe in Miracles!

Chapter 46: Water Style: Water Fang Bullet! Believe in Miracles!

As the words fell, Kakuzu did not relax his vigilance in the slightest.

Looking at the three shuriken rushing towards his weak point, he didn't know what was going on, but he just thought Uchiha Ci was lucky.

A cold light flashed in his eyes. He stomped hard on the cliff face, kicking up a few pebbles, and sent out a high roundhouse kick.

The pebbles tore through the night wind and smashed down.

With two clangs, two shuriken were knocked away. Kakuzu dodged aside and avoided another shuriken.

At this moment, Uchiha Ci had already closed in.

He twisted his foot slightly, making the kunai spin in his hand like a blooming flower, and thrust it fiercely towards Kakuzu's chest, aiming for the heart.

Kakuzu immediately adjusted his position, turned sideways, and then slammed a spinning elbow violently towards Uchiha Ci's face.

The movement was so fast that Uchiha Ci couldn't even see it clearly. He only felt the hairs on his neck stand on end and his heart alarm bells ringing.

[Talent: Combat Intuition (Beginner, S) activated.]

His body instinctively ducked, dodging the incoming elbow strike.

This move made even Kakuzu slightly taken aback.

Although he wasn't particularly skilled in taijutsu, his seventy-plus years of combat experience and the physical enhancements from Earth Grudge Fear meant his movements were by no means something a single-tomoe Sharingan could see.

Uchiha Ci seized the momentary opening Kakuzu revealed, immediately sweeping his kunai towards Kakuzu's left ankle.

At the same time, he used a side kick from Kumogakure's Swastika-shaped taijutsu, attacking from both sides.

He fiercely kicked the good leg of the cripple.

Kakuzu's eyes narrowed.

The stitches on his left foot pulled open, spewing out seven or eight threads of Earth Grudge Fear that wrapped around Uchiha Ci's kunai. Then, with a scorpion's tail sweep, his right leg lashed out, kicking towards Uchiha Ci's face.

Uchiha Ci flinched again, instinctively crossing his arms to block.

At the same time, he tightly gripped the kunai, trying to cut through the extremely thin Earth Grudge Fear threads wrapped around it.

As a result, he was kicked into the air.

Swoosh!

The threads were severed simultaneously.

"It's over!"

Kakuzu declared indifferently. With a violent single palm thrust, he suddenly grabbed Uchiha Ci's face and smashed his head against the cliff face.

Bang!

The force was so great that rocks flew, and blood spurted.

Uchiha Ci's head was spinning. With a disfigured blow, he used the last bit of his consciousness to tightly grip the kunai and insert it into his ninja tool pouch.

Kakuzu once again lifted Uchiha Ci, who was slumped against the cliff face, his eyes cold. He sneered:

"It looks like you're nothing special."

"Who gave you the courage to challenge me alone?"

As he spoke, Kakuzu's gaze turned cold. Holding Uchiha Ci, he delivered a straight punch to the abdomen!

Immediately after, he clasped his hands around his head and delivered a knee strike to the face, flipped over, spun, and smashed his shoulder into the ground, followed by a scorpion tail kick to the chest to send him flying, a spinning elbow strike to the face, a sweeping kick to the face, a consecutive back kick to the back of the head, and finally a front kick to the face.

Each blow was vicious and merciless, directed at Uchiha Ci with all his might!

The final kick was like kicking a ball.

He sent Uchiha Ci flying with a powerful kick, smashing him hard against the corner of the barrier. Blood poured from his head, and his face was no longer recognizable.

"Hoo," Kakuzu let out a long breath.

After this barrage, even an iron ball would be flattened into a metal disc, let alone a human head.

However, Kakuzu glanced sideways at the corner, looking at Uchiha Ci, who lay there silently, and frowned slightly.

"The barrier hasn't opened yet, and he's still not dead?"

Outside the barrier, Through the barrier, Terumi Mei and Hidan could only watch as Uchiha Ci charged forward like he was throwing his life away.

And then, very quickly.

In less than a minute, he was kicked back by Kakuzu's relentless combo.

Too tragic.

There was no trace of the handsome young man from a minute ago. If one had to describe him, he now looked more like a pile of mushy, beaten tofu pudding.

Terumi Mei: Hidan:

The two fell silent.

So, after all that effort from Big Brother, he couldn't even leave a scratch on the opponent and got beaten back?

What was the point?

However, at this very moment, Uchiha Ci, beaten into a pulp, suddenly twitched his fingers and slowly crawled up, gripping the barrier and the cliff face.

The swelling and wounds on his battered head rapidly healed.

Soon, not even a trace of injury remained.

The reason for this outcome was that Uchiha Ci had used a jutsu he had just obtained from Shinnosuke—

Forbidden Jutsu: Flesh Rebirth.

This technique allowed him to rapidly recover from injuries by consuming life force and stamina.

In the future, Orochimaru would even use this as a basis to develop the miraculous Regeneration Jutsu.

Uchiha Ci stood firm, his condition fully restored.

Though his blood-soaked body looked gruesome and terrifying, his spirit was undiminished.

Far from feeling any shame from his defeat, he let out a laugh, gasping for breath.

"Hahahahahaha."

"I knew it!"

As he spoke, Uchiha Ci drew a kunai from his ninja tool pouch, removed the Earth Grudge Fear silk threads attached to it, and wrapped them around his finger, giving them a tug.

"This resilience is similar to Ninja Silk, and without the Earth Grudge Fear entity, Kakuzu can't control it anymore."

"It can be used as a Ninja Tool!"

Terumi Mei and Hidan, standing nearby, were dumbfounded. Seeing Uchiha Ci's delighted expression, they felt a lump in their throats.

"Are you insane? You charged in to get beaten up, just to figure out something so bizarre?"

Terumi Mei glared at Uchiha Ci, who was just a step away, with disappointment.

She slammed her hand against the barrier and shouted, "Open the barrier quickly and let me in!"

"You'll die if this continues!"

"Hm?" Uchiha Ci heard her voice and turned around sharply. Seeing Terumi Mei and Hidan still there, he couldn't help but feel speechless.

"Why are you still here?"

"Didn't I tell you to run?"

Hearing this, not only Terumi Mei but even Hidan's face showed anger.

"Stop acting like a hero here!"

"If we leave, we leave together!"

"..." Uchiha Ci was uncharacteristically silent for a moment, unsure how to respond.

In the end, he pretended not to hear and changed the subject, saying gravely to the two, "This isn't bizarre at all. This kind of intel is crucial to me!"

Then, Uchiha Ci looked at Terumi Mei and asked solemnly, "Since you're still here."

"Could you teach me the hand seals for Water Fang Blade?"

Terumi Mei frowned slightly.

The Water Fang Blade jutsu was a secret technique of the Terumi family. Chojuro, the future Sixth Mizukage, had used it when fighting against Momoshiki Otsutsuki.

It could clash with Momoshiki's Six Paths tool, the fishing rod, and possessed both shape-shifting abilities and low energy consumption, making it a rather valuable ninjutsu.

She hesitated for a moment, but then spoke, "It's Ushi-Mi-Mi. What do you intend to do?"

Uchiha Ci nodded. Although his one-Tomoe Sharingan could see the flow of chakra in the human body, it could only provide a general overview, far from replicating ninjutsu.

However, with the hand seals, combined with the recorded chakra flow, there was a high probability of replicating the ninjutsu.

Uchiha Ci had tested his innate chakra nature and found it to be Water and Fire, which met the prerequisites for releasing this technique.

"Hoo, you'll know soon enough."

Uchiha Ci didn't explain further. He immediately turned around, holding his kunai, and formed the hand seals.

Ushi-Mi-Mi.

After only two attempts, he successfully condensed a spinning Water Fang Blade, about two and a half feet long, onto the kunai.

Just moments ago, Uchiha Ci had keenly observed that this jutsu, in Terumi Mei's hands, had severed Kakuzu's Earth Grudge Fear tentacles.

And the brief battle just now had proven—

Even with his Sharingan activated and his innate Combat Intuition, Uchiha Ci was no match for Kakuzu, who possessed over seventy years of combat experience, when it came to basic taijutsu.

If he just charged in with a basic attack, he would definitely lose!

But, In the world of ninja, Ninjutsu is the existence that creates miracles!

Uchiha Ci, who possessed a large array of ninjutsu, forbidden jutsu, and even the masterful Thread-Manipulating Shuriken Technique.

He believed that a miracle would eventually be born through him!

So, The first step was to borrow some Ninja Tools from Kakuzu to use!
