Naruto: I Use Chakra to Upgrade Bloodline Limit Chapter 41

"Clang!"

A crisp sound of clashing metal rang out.

Genya drew his kunai, directly parrying the opponent's strike.

The ninja tool had been purchased from Granny Cat.

Whether in terms of quality.

Or the durability of the steel.

It was far superior to standard ninja gear.

Otherwise, Darui's heavy, powerful sword strike would have already snapped the kunai in two.

After blocking Darui's attack.

Genya pivoted at the waist.

He lashed out with a kick aimed at Darui's flank.

The waist is one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body.

If the kick landed.

Darui would rapidly lose his ability to fight.

Darui was truly an elite genius of Kumogakure; he stepped out with his right foot, quickly blocking Genya's offensive.

Immediately, he slashed his sword through the air toward Genya's neck.

The angle of the attack was incredibly tricky.

But Darui's movements had already been seen through by Genya, who dodged with ease and launched a counter-attack.

One wielding a broadsword.

The other wielding a kunai.

"Clang, clang, clang," they battled across the arena.

The exchange was fierce and evenly matched.

The crowd in the arena was left stunned and speechless by the spectacular fight.

Despite their young age, the combat was so brilliant—it was truly impressive!

On the viewing platform, Odley's expression gradually turned grave.

He had originally assumed that Darui would defeat the Uchiha within three moves.

But the Uchiha in the arena had exceeded his expectations.

Furthermore, the opponent hadn't even used his Sharingan yet.

This battle was not as simple as he had imagined.

However, Odley still believed in Darui; after all, the latter was a rare genius of Kumogakure who also possessed the terrifying power of Storm Release.

Darui would surely be able to defeat his opponent!

Compared to Odley's tension.

Fugaku appeared quite calm.

He was well aware of Genya's strength.

Since Genya dared to accept this match.

He definitely possessed the certainty of victory!

Moreover, Genya had the terrifying record of having killed a Root Jonin, Hei, at the age of six!

The Uchiha were certain to win this match!

"Sharingan, activate!"

Genya did not want to drag things out with Darui, instantly activating his Two-Tomoe Sharingan.

With the activation of the Sharingan.

Genya's attacks became mysterious and unpredictable.

Although Darui was a master of swordsmanship, upon seeing Genya activate the Sharingan, he feared falling into a genjutsu and dared not look the latter in the eyes, gradually becoming overwhelmed as the exchange continued.

Genya's attacks grew increasingly fierce!

Darui struggled to hold his ground!

Finally.

Under the enhancement of the Sharingan.

The sharp kunai sliced a gruesome gash directly across Darui's chest.

"I've actually been wounded!?" Darui exclaimed in shock, then retreated rapidly to weave hand seals.

"Water Style: Great Torrent Technique!"

A surging, majestic torrent of water erupted directly from the mouth of Darui, sweeping toward Genya.

The area covered by the Water Style was vast.

It occupied a full half of the arena.

Even though Genya had utilized the Body Flicker Technique, his body was still splashed with water.

"Lightning Style: Wave of Inspiration!"

Darui slammed both hands onto the ground.

A blinding, brilliant blue current surged out from him like a spiderweb, racing along the water!

The high-voltage electricity struck Genya directly!

"Damn it!"

Genya's body shuddered, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Hahaha!" Seeing Genya fall, a triumphant smile appeared on Odley's face.

He looked at Fugaku with contempt and mocked, "Clan Leader Fugaku, the strength of your Uchiha is nothing more than this; he didn't even have time to use a ninjutsu."

"Cloud Village will gladly accept those 200,000 jin of grain!"

Fugaku raised an eyebrow and spoke indifferently.

"Commander Odley, it is far too early to say such things. Speaking too soon often leads to a slap in the face."

A stubborn fool, Odley sneered inwardly.

Seeing Genya defeated, a subtle smile that was difficult to detect appeared on the face of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

He did not want to see the "rebellious" Uchiha win.

He wanted to see an outstanding genius emerge from the Uchiha even less.

Unless that genius was like Shisui.

Used for his own ends!

Darui, inside the arena, was very cautious.

He did not believe that the Uchiha genius he had just fought would be defeated so easily.

Suddenly, Genya's body went "poof."

It immediately transformed into a puff of smoke!

As expected!

It was the Shadow Clone Technique!

Upon discovering that Genya had used a Shadow Clone as a decoy to vanish from his field of vision, Darui—young but possessing rich combat experience—leaped away, trying to vacate his original position.

Just at that moment.

A hand suddenly burst from the soil beneath Darui's feet, grabbed his ankle, and slammed him fiercely into the ground!

"Bang!"

Darui was smashed heavily into the earth, plowing a seven or eight-meter-long trench; he was covered in dirt and looked incredibly disheveled.

At this moment, Genya had already appeared where Darui had been standing, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Storm Release was a Kekkei Genkai formed by combining Lightning and Water nature chakra.

When Darui used Water Style, Genya realized the opponent might use the water to conduct lightning.

Therefore, Genya played along, using the same method Naruto and Neji had employed during the Chunin Exams: using a Shadow Clone to lower the opponent's guard before bursting from the ground to launch a sneak attack.

Clearly.

This tactic was very practical.

And it had succeeded!

"You damn bastard."

"I will make you regret this!"

As a genius of Cloud Village, never had Darui suffered such humiliation.

He roared in anger.

He formed hand seals to unleash his own Kekkei Genkai, Storm Release!

"Storm Release: Laser Circus!"

The surrounding water vapor gradually condensed, transforming into dozens of lasers containing terrifying power.

Simultaneously, they blasted toward the target, Genya, at an incredibly terrifying speed.

The speed of the lasers was even comparable to Shisui's Body Flicker Technique!

A triumphant smile appeared on Darui's face.

The Storm Release bloodline limit is not only immensely powerful, but its speed is as fast as lightning.

In the vast Kumogakure, aside from the Fourth Raikage, few could hope to escape an attack from Storm Release.

Its only drawback is that it consumes too much chakra.

This move would be the deciding moment of the battle!

Darui was confident.

He was certain he would emerge victorious!

He had to bring these provisions back to the village!

"So this is Storm Release? How strong!" After Darui unleashed his Storm Release, many ninjas were secretly astonished.

At the same time, many Konoha ninjas believed.

Even with Genya possessing the Sharingan.

It would be very difficult for him to win.

Blinding lasers enveloped Genya from all sorts of bizarre angles.

Genya's expression remained completely unchanged.

After using the Body Flicker Technique to put some distance between them.

He quickly formed hand seals.

A massive surge of chakra gathered in his mouth, then was expelled!

"Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame!"

A gargantuan fireball erupted from Genya's mouth, several times larger than the Great Fireball Technique, surging forward with monstrous, roaring flames.

Genya did not stop there, continuing to weave ninjutsu.
