"You arrogant fool. I'll show you what I, Mei Terumi, can do!"
Her taijutsu was good, but compared to her ninjutsu, it was nothing special.
After all, Mei Terumi possessed two kekkei genkai. Ninjutsu was her true strength.
Now, she hardened her resolve. She would teach Yechen a lesson he would never forget and make him pay for his arrogance.
Her hands swiftly formed hand seals as she unleashed her ninjutsu.
"Boil Release: Skilled Mist Technique!"
Boil Release was, in fact, a fusion of water and earth energy. When a ninja found the balance between those two types of energy and merged them, their nature transformed. That was the power of a kekkei genkai.
Precisely because of this, the properties of each person's Boil Release differed.
For instance, Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure, primarily used the steam produced by boiling his energy to enhance his strength and speed.
Mei Terumi, however, was far more terrifying by comparison.
She could freely adjust the acidity of her high-temperature steam, allowing it to vaporize and corrode other things.
Even the skeletal frame of Susanoo struggled to withstand it.
Thus, as the thick, scorching mist swept toward him, Yechen thought, Interesting. He made no move, letting the white mist surround him.
He would make Mei Terumi understand that, in the face of absolute strength, all techniques and abilities were futile.
"Why isn't Captain Yechen fighting back?"
"Exactly! That's Boil Release. Once it touches you, no one can withstand it!"
The Konoha ninjas worried for him.
The Kirigakure ninjas, on the other hand, laughed wildly. They thought Yechen was an arrogant fool who believed that, just because he could smash a Water Dragon Bullet, he could withstand Mei Terumi's Boil Release with his body alone. He was practically courting death!
Yet what happened next
