At the same time, on the other side.
"Qiang--!"
The two broadswords collided again, and a dazzling spark exploded.
Ning Xue and Kisame were in a stalemate for a moment, and there was a sharp metal friction sound at the intersection of the blades.
Under normal circumstances, Kisame, which has been absorbing Ning Xue Chakra, is obviously stronger.
I saw him exerting force with both hands, and knocked Ning Xue away with his sword.
Ning Xue's feet left the ground for a moment and landed on the ground. Kubikiribōchō's knife tip inserted into the ground and plowed out a shallow scratch before he could stabilize his body.
He held his breath steadily, holding the handle of the knife with both hands, and the tiger's mouth was numb.
I felt the Chakra passing through my body, then looked at the slightly squirming Samehada on the shoulder of Kisame opposite me, and murmured to myself.
The ability of this Ninja Blade is indeed powerful. It can not only absorb the opponent's Chakra, but also feed it back to itself. It is worthy of being one of the Mist Village Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
He looked down at Kubikiribōchō in his hand, then turned to look at Suigetsu who was squatting on the ground not far away watching the battle, and asked.
"Hey, Suigetsu! Does this Kubikiribōchō have any special abilities?"
Suigetsu, who had been watching with great interest, suddenly became energetic when he heard this.
He stood up, put his hands on his hips, and there was a hint of arrogance and pride in his tone.
"Of course! The ability of this Ninja Blade is blood-sucking regeneration!"
"Vampire regeneration?"
Ning Xue Hearing these four words, the brows under the mask raised slightly.
So powerful? It can suck blood and regenerate. Doesn't that mean it has its own battery life?
While he was alert to Kisame's movements, he quickly calculated the actual combat value of this knife in his mind.
However, Suigetsu's next sentence was like a basin of cold water being poured down:
"Oh, yes, it is the knife itself that regenerates, not the person."
When he said this, he smiled brightly, and his row of white shark teeth flashed in the sun.
Ning Xue's movements paused slightly.
The expression under the mask instantly became a little subtle, and could even be said to be speechless.
He originally thought that this big sword had some incredible ability, but it turned out that the so-called blood-sucking regeneration only repaired the damage to the blade?
How is this different from those ordinary weapons? At most, it saves the time of changing knives.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the speechless emotion, and asked curiously.
"Then what abilities do other Ninja Blade have?"
When talking about this topic, Suigetsu became energetic instantly.
Although there was a trace of loneliness in his eyes, he was still extremely excited, and his tone was a little higher, as if he had opened up a conversation box.
"The remaining five are just that.
Thunder Knife·Fang has the ability to store and release lightning. If used well, it can produce combo effects.
The double sword·Hiramekarei can store a large amount of Chakra and release it at once, and its power is extremely terrifying.
Long knife·Nuibari, as light and fast as a needle, can penetrate enemies and entangle them.
Blunt knife·Kabutowari, said to be able to break through any armor, is a blunt instrument specially used to break through defenses."
Suigetsu finished speaking in one breath, licked his lips, and added another sentence.
"The other one is... ah, it's the explosive knife Shibuki. Its ability is that the knife contains a large amount of Explosive Tag, which can cause an explosion when it is slashed."
After speaking, he scratched his head with a cynical smile on his lips.
Ning Xue After listening to his slightly excited explanation in silence, the expression under the mask was already a little numb.
He was silent for a while before he finally said something.
"... So, are these seven Ninja Blades really products of the same era?"
He said, raising the Kubikiribōchō in his hand, the meaning was obvious.
Suigetsu choked when he saw this, and then retorted somewhat unconvinced.
"Hey, little brother, don't underestimate Kubikiribōchō! Although its ability is indeed... uh... to repair itself, it is big and heavy enough!
Look at this blade, this width, this weight, who can bear it once?"
"What about after you finish cultivating yourself?" Ning Xue asked in a calm tone.
"No, it can only be used for cutting?"
Suigetsu opened his mouth, wanting to say something to refute, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with any strong arguments. In the end, he could only close his mouth angrily and muttered in a low voice.
"... Anyway, it's very powerful, and brother, with your ability, you can't use it at all, so naturally it feels useless."
Kisame, who was standing not far away, couldn't help but laugh when he heard the conversation.
He did not rush to attack, but carried Samehada on his shoulders, with a hint of recognition and ridicule in his tone.
"Suigetsu is right, Seven Ninja Swordsmen each has its own use.
Although Kubikiribōchō has simple capabilities, in some cases it is more reliable than the fancy Ninja Blade."
He paused, his eyes falling on the broad blade, and there was a trace of nostalgia in his tone.
"After all, pure weight and sharpness are sometimes the best abilities."
Just when he was about to continue explaining in detail and correct some misunderstandings and additions the two had about Ninja Blade.
"Boom--!"
Suddenly there was a dull thunder in the sky.
Huge thunderclouds quickly gathered over the Uchiha stronghold, the clouds surged, and electric light shuttled between the clouds, emitting a low roar.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling bolt of lightning fell from the clouds and struck straight towards the stronghold below.
The light was extremely dazzling, like a divine punishment, illuminating the entire area palely.
The ground trembled slightly, and the shock wave spread from the direction of the stronghold to all directions, whipping up a strong wind that made the clothes of several people rustle.
Karin's eyes that had been staring in that direction suddenly trembled.
She stood up almost subconsciously, with unconcealable worry and nervousness in her tone.
"Sasuke!"
Her fists were clenched.
She knew it was Sasuke's technique - Kirin.
She had seen him once last time in town.
Jugo also turned around.
He looked in the direction of the stronghold silently, with a solemn expression.
Suigetsu put away his playful smile, looked up at the slowly dissipating thundercloud, and his expression became serious.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this level of Lightning Release..."
He whispered to himself, and then turned his attention to Ning Xue.
Ning Xue also stopped what he was doing and stood on the spot facing the direction of the stronghold.
He didn't speak, but his eyes covered by the mask were watching the situation in the distance through Byakugan's field of vision.
Kisame was the last one to turn his head.
He looked at the falling lightning, the corners of his mouth slowly raised a vague arc, and his voice was low and calm.
"It looks like the battle over there is about to end."
He retracted his gaze, looked at the people in front of him again, slowly put Samehada down from his shoulder, and placed the tip of the knife on the ground, his posture still calm.
"Now that the battle over there has been decided, there is no need for me to stay here any longer."
His eyes swept around several people and finally landed on Ning Xue, with a hint of appreciation in his voice.
"Today's confrontation made me very happy. If there is a chance, I hope to fight against you again."
Ning Xue didn't answer, just looked at him quietly.
Kisame didn't care about his silence, he just laughed softly, picked up Samehada, turned around and walked in the opposite direction of the stronghold.
