The five girls discussed it for a moment, and finally nodded.
Ino said:
"OK."
"We agreed."
Kimimaro's expression grew increasingly grim as he listened to their conversation.
He was prepared to fight to the death.
Zhang Yu, however, treated this battle as a gamble.
He even claimed that he could defeat him by sitting still and using only one hand.
This shows they completely disregarded him.
You will pay the price for your arrogance.
Kimimaro tore open his clothes.
The Cursed Seal of Earth spread instantly.
Black lines covered its entire body.
His skin began to change color, and his body followed suit.
The next moment, bone spurs emerged from his shoulders, elbows, knees, and back.
Blood beads slid down the bone spur.
He had already pushed the Shikotsumyaku to its limit.
Upon seeing this, Sakura instinctively took a half-step back.
"The bones grew out of the body?"
He held the ninja tool scroll tightly Tenten.
"This is the Kaguya Clan's Shikotsumyaku?"
Hinata's Byakugan could see it even more clearly.
Those bone spurs were not attached to Kimimaro's body.
Instead, it grows from his bones and then pierces his skin.
Zhang Yu glanced at it a few times, then suddenly asked:
"With so many bones piercing your skin at once, doesn't it hurt?"
Kimimaro's face immediately darkened.
"Shut up!"
"I'm just curious."
Zhang Yu pointed to the bone spur on his shoulder.
When you pull it out, will it bring down a piece of flesh?
"You're asking for it!"
Kimimaro's Chakra surged once again.
Zhang Yu, however, did not get up.
He leaned back and nestled into Hinata's arms.
Hinata was caught off guard and her body froze instantly.
She looked down at Zhang Yu, her cheeks quickly turning red.
" Brother Zhang Yu..."
Zhang Yu adjusted his position.
"That feels much better."
"I'll make my move when he charges at me."
Ino couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Are you fighting, or are you out sleeping?
"It will take a while for the opponent to charge in."
Zhang Yu said:
"Standing and waiting is tiring."
Sakura, Tenten, and Tayuya also laughed.
Hinata sat there, blushing, unsure of what to do with her hands.
Kimimaro trembled upon witnessing this scene.
He activated the Cursed Seal of Earth, preparing for battle with his life on the line.
Zhang Yu, however, was lying in the girl's arms chatting.
"Unforgivable!"
Kimimaro roared, and the ground beneath his feet exploded.
He rushed towards Zhang Yu.
The bone spur on his arm was aimed at Zhang Yu's chest.
The distance between the two sides rapidly decreased.
Two hundred meters.
One hundred meters.
Fifty meters.
Sakura and her three friends stopped smiling.
Hinata also tensed up.
" Brother Zhang Yu, he's here."
"I saw it."
Zhang Yu then left Hinata's embrace.
He slowly rose to his feet and waved his right hand forward.
" Ice Release: Frozen Heaven and Earth."
A chill burst forth from his palm.
The ground is the first to freeze.
White frost spread outwards along the grassland, freezing everything in its path, from trees and rocks to streams.
Water vapor in the air also condenses into tiny ice crystals.
An area of nearly 500 meters in radius was transformed into a world of ice and snow in the blink of an eye.
Only the grass within a three-meter radius of Zhang Yu remained unaffected.
Kimimaro's expression changed halfway through his charge.
The bone spur on his arm froze quickly.
The cold air seeped into the body through the bones.
My blood felt like it was freezing.
Kimimaro abruptly stopped, his feet shattering the ice, and turned to retreat hastily.
He managed to regain his balance only after retreating 300 meters away.
He looked down at his arm.
Several bone spurs had already cracked from the cold.
The Cursed Seal marks covering his entire body also dimmed.
I stand at the edge of a three-meter radius Tenten.
She stretched out her finger and gently touched the cold air outside.
A layer of frost instantly crept onto my fingertips.
Tenten quickly pulled her hand back.
"It's so cold!"
Why is everything alright here?
Sakura looked down at her feet.
Within three meters, it's still ordinary grass.
Three meters away, however, it was covered with a thick layer of solid ice.
The boundary between hot and cold is clearly defined.
He controlled the range of the cold air.
Ino looked up into the distance.
Kimimaro was just about to attack.
"Now we don't even dare to get close to 300 meters away."
Tayuya watched Kimimaro retreat in a disheveled state, remaining silent for a long time.
She had seen Kimimaro fight before.
Among the Sound Five, none were a match for Kimimaro.
But Zhang Yu simply waved his hand.
Kimimaro had no choice but to flee.
Zhang Yu raised his right hand.
"It's not over yet."
Large amounts of water converge at high altitudes.
" Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique."
boom!
Water flowed down from the sky.
Sakura suddenly looked up.
"Above!"
Ino instinctively grabbed Zhang Yu's arm.
Hinata, Tenten, and Tayuya also came over.
But the torrent of water didn't fall on them.
When the water comes into contact with the cold air, it freezes instantly.
The ice layer thickens rapidly from top to bottom.
Within moments, a layer of solid ice, at least twenty meters thick, covered the entire grassland.
Zhang Yu and the others were protected beneath the ice.
There was enough space inside that not a single drop of water fell in.
Sakura stared at Zhang Yu's hands.
From the beginning of Ice Release to the end of Water Release, Zhang Yu never Hand Seals.
"Wait a moment."
How did you just use Ninjutsu?
"What, how do you use it?"
"You didn't Hand Seals."
After Sakura finished speaking, the other girls also realized what was going on.
Ninjas usually need to Hand Seals to unleash Ninjutsu.
The more powerful the Ninjutsu, the more complex the Hand Seals tend to be.
But Zhang Yu only raised his hand twice.
The area was frozen in one go, covering a radius of 500 meters.
It can create a 20-meter-thick layer of ice in one go.
Zhang Yu sat back down on the grass.
There are three levels of Ninjutsu.
Five girls immediately surrounded them.
Asking questions Tenten:
Which three layers?
"First step: Hand Seals."
Zhang Yu said:
" Chakra in a fixed order, then release the Ninjutsu."
"The vast majority of ninjas in the Shinobi World are at this level."
Sakura nodded.
"That's how Ninja Academy teach."
"And the second level?"
"The second step only requires clapping your hands together."
Zhang Yu put his two hands together.
"Whatever Ninjutsu you want to use, just slap it and it'll appear."
Ino was taken aback.
"Can anyone really do that?"
Of course.
" Hashirama Senju is the most typical example."
Zhang Yu said:
"When he fought Madara Uchiha, he didn't need to slowly Hand Seals at all."
"Clap your hands together."
" Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees".
"Take another picture."
" Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands."
While others were still guessing which hand seal he had formed, his Ninjutsu had already landed on the opponent's face.
Tenten listened intently, nodding repeatedly.
" The First Hokage did often do that."
Tayuya asked:
"And what about the third level?"
Zhang Yu raised his right hand and waved it casually twice.
"That's me."
"You don't even need to clap your hands."
"Wave your hand, and everything's settled."
Five girls looked at him at the same time.
Ino's eyes lit up.
"So, your Ninjutsu level is even higher than the First Hokage's?"
That's one way to understand it.
Sakura recalled the chilling air that had covered five hundred meters just now, and looked down at the ice layer above her head.
She couldn't find any reason to refute it.
Tenten said directly:
"That's too strong."
