"It's a large-scale Water Style jutsu! Damn it, retreat!" Facing Suikazan Fuguki's Water Style: Exploding Water Colliding Wave, the commander of the Kaguya Clan hurriedly shouted to warn his clansmen.
As the Kaguya Clan, who viewed their own bloodline as their greatest pride, they were the only family in Kirigakure that practiced almost no Water Style.
Therefore, the change in the combat environment was not conducive to the Kaguya Clan's strength, only serving to create convenience for the Anbu closing in.
However, since the natural environment for Water Style had already been formed, how could the disciplined Kirigakure Anbu let them retreat so easily?
"Water Style: Water Shark Bullet Technique."
"Water Style: Water Fang Bullet."
The ones performing the techniques were Biwa Juzo and Raiga Kurosuki.
Although Raiga Kurosuki's primary talent was Lightning Style, Water Style was also one of his fundamental skills.
A massive water shark charged savagely into the crowd of the Kaguya Clan. After knocking three Kaguya members flying, the shark's sharp teeth cruelly tore two other nearby Kaguya clansmen to shreds, the erupting blood staining the shark's body red.
The three Kaguya members who had been knocked away spat out blood mixed with fragments of their internal organs; it was clear they would not survive.
After killing five people, the water shark returned to the massive pool formed by the Exploding Water Colliding Wave, waiting for the next opportunity to attack, which undoubtedly saved the caster a significant amount of chakra.
Raiga Kurosuki's Water Fang Bullet was equally sharp. A water column with highly condensed moisture surged out from the Exploding Water Colliding Wave, sweeping straight into the ranks of the Kaguya Clan. Many Kaguya ninjas who could not dodge in time were swept dozens of meters away. Even with the Kaguya Clan's formidable physical constitution, they could not withstand this level of impact, and most were left severely injured and unable to move upon landing.
Seeing the clan's defensive line retreating again and again, the Kaguya commander hurriedly began to organize an effective resistance.
"Counterattack! Counterattack quickly!" Under his command, the remaining Kaguya ninjas threw various shuriken at the Kirigakure Anbu or used long-range strike techniques like "Three-Finger Bullet" and "Five-Finger Bullet" to block the Anbu's advance.
"Water Style: Water Formation Wall." With the home-field advantage of the Water Style, the Water Formation Wall jointly cast by several Kirigakure Anbu easily blocked the Kaguya Clan's counterattack, after which they continued to slaughter their way into the Kaguya clan grounds.
Seeing the defensive line that had been so hard to establish on the verge of collapse in the blink of an eye, the Kaguya commander immediately encouraged them loudly: "Don't give up, hold on a little longer! The Clan Head is already on his way with the clan's elite!"
Encouraged by this and out of trust in their Clan Head's strength, the Kaguya clansmen present barely managed to drag out the pace of the Anbu's advance.
"You're courting death." Using a Body Flicker Technique to dodge the bone bullets shot at his face, Suikazan Fuguki drew the Great Sword: Samehada from his back and slashed at the Kaguya commander.
Great Sword: Samehada: Capable of absorbing an opponent's chakra and injecting the absorbed chakra into the user's body. This sword is mainly used for slicing people; its deep blue blade is covered in barbs and is usually wrapped in bandages.
The Great Sword: Samehada is alive and only acknowledges those it likes. Its user can not only drain the opponent's chakra for their own use but also utilize the massive amount of chakra stored by Samehada to stimulate the regeneration of their own body cells, or even merge with Samehada to become a fish-man.
Facing Suikazan Fuguki's lethal blow, the opponent dared not be careless and immediately used all his chakra to deploy a defense.
"Bone Membrane Hardening." Driven by chakra, the Shikotsumyaku bloodline formed a layer of hard bone membrane beneath his skin, ensuring his internal organs would not suffer severe damage.
"Shikotsumyaku: Dance of the Camellia." Following this, the Kaguya clansman pulled an entire steel-like arm bone from his shoulder, transforming it into a "bone sword" to counter Suikazan Fuguki's Samehada.
"You think you can stop me just by pulling out a bone?" Facing the Kaguya Clan's resistance, Suikazan Fuguki increased the force of his slash.
"Clang!"
In Suikazan Fuguki's surprised gaze, that bone sword actually managed to withstand Samehada's attack.
"Hmph." Suikazan Fuguki quickly regained his composure, then applied a little force to his wrist, and the white bandages on Samehada were all snapped by the protruding barbs.
"Samehada, absorb his chakra." Under Suikazan Fuguki's control, the opponent's chakra was continuously drained through the point of contact between Samehada and the bone sword. A portion of this chakra was stored by Samehada, while the other portion directly replenished the chakra Suikazan Fuguki had just consumed for his jutsu.
"Hiss... this won't work at this rate, I'll be drained dry." Feeling the rapid loss of chakra within his body, the Kaguya clansman hurriedly aimed his other palm at Suikazan Fuguki.
"Five-Finger Bullet." Five bone bullets aimed straight for Suikazan Fuguki's face, forcing him to choose to retreat temporarily.
"But, how many more times can your chakra afford to be consumed?" Suikazan Fuguki stared at his opponent with a sinister expression; the moment a flaw appeared, he would immediately swing Samehada to slice him down.
Ignoring the stalemate between the two, Raiga Kurosuki on the other side had already charged into the Kaguya ranks and begun a massacre.
"Lightning Burial: Banquet of Lightning." Raiga Kurosuki thrust his twin blades into the ground. After a brief charge, four tree-like blue lightning bolts were released by the blades, attacking the Kaguya ninjas in front of him.
Under this strike, four Kaguya members were directly hit by the lightning, turning into a pile of charred remains in an instant, scattered at his feet.
"Exhilarating! Give me more!"
Having been stifled for so long, Raiga Kurosuki became more excited the more he fought. He then raised his twin blades above his head, crossing them to store electricity, and a bolt of lightning from the sky struck directly at the intersection of the blades.
As the charging finished, Raiga Kurosuki violently spread his twin blades outward, and the primed lightning exploded toward his surroundings.
"Lightning Style: Lightning Fang."
The lightning attack, infused with the power of heaven and earth, instantly cleared the area around Raiga Kurosuki.
"Fuguki-senpai, if you can't finish him off, leave it to me."
Raiga Kurosuki, already excited from the slaughter, did not care if he was stealing Fuguki's opponent, and the twin blades in his hands directly guided the lightning from the sky to strike down at Fuguki's opponent.
"Lightning Style: Lightning Strike."
"Bad, dodge!" Seeing that the lightning strike was impossible to resist, the Kaguya clansman retreated frantically toward the rear.
As a result, the lightning strike did not hit its target, but it blasted a deep pit into the mud at his feet.
"Raiga Kurosuki, your blades are overstepping their bounds." Fuguki looked at Raiga Kurosuki with a sinister expression; the other's behavior could be interpreted as a provocation to his authority.
"Sorry, Fuguki-senpai, that guy is really hard to deal with, so I'll leave him to you, senpai." Although he spoke an apology, there was not a hint of regret in Raiga Kurosuki's tone.
"Hmph." Giving the other a deep look, Suikazan Fuguki raised Samehada once more and charged toward the retreating Kaguya clansman.
