"Buzz!"
The friction between the air and the Nuclear Release Chakra created a violent vibration. Kyōai used the maximum amount of Chakra she could currently borrow from " Katen Kyōkotsu," causing the nine large swords to change shape, and the Chakra Blade surged again.
The steel warship seemed to have also noticed the approaching Kyōai and adjusted its turrets to fire a large number of shells at it.
However, to everyone's surprise, when the shell was still ten meters away from Kyōai, it seemed to hit an invisible blade and was split in two before falling.
As Kyōai drew closer, his Nuclear Release Chakra exploded to its limit, unleashing nine sword strikes simultaneously.
" Limiter Release - Nuclear Ninja Secret Sword - Together We'll Take Three Thousand Great Thousand Worlds!"
Lord God: "Go to hell!"
For a fleeting moment, the nine sword shadows merged into one, slashing horizontally through the air.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the blade energy suddenly erupted, splitting the steel warship in two by the invisible blade. The upper part flew into the sky, exploded violently, and was shattered by more blade energy. It flew into the distance and fell into the sea, stirring up countless splashes of water.
All the armored soldiers on the beach collapsed to the ground, motionless, like deflated balloons.
All the Sand Ninja were awestruck by the astonishing power of Kyōai.
"This... this guy's strength is at the Kage Level, isn't it?!"
Baki exclaimed in shock, "Those are truly terrifying swordsmanship skills. It seems we need to reassess our alliance with the Nuclear Ninja Village."
Kankuro also stopped controlling the puppet. "I've never seen this kind of swordsmanship before!"
Temari was surprised that the usually carefree Kyōai possessed such formidable strength, and her previous contempt vanished. "It's unbelievable that the Nuclear Ninja Village has twelve ninjas like him."
Upon hearing this, Baki was even more surprised. "What? There are twelve more?"
Kyōai completely neutralized her momentum with a single strike, landing steadily on the steel warship. Inside the warship, a very peculiar device could be seen.
The device resembled an iron tree, with a spherical glass container at the end of each branch. Inside each container was a person holding a glowing sphere.
Looking at them roughly, there were about fifty people, roughly the same number as the armored soldiers.
"So you're the ones controlling the armored soldiers?"
"Smack..."
Half of the steel warship was destroyed, the glow of the luminous sphere gradually dimmed, the glass dome cracked, and liquid flowed out. The people controlling the armored soldiers gradually awoke, looking at the Kyōai above in horror.
Kyōai's move had already exhausted all his available Chakra. He wasn't showing off, but rather wanted to take this opportunity to demonstrate the power of the Nuclear Ninja Village.
Under " Katen Kyōkotsu's" perception, the people on the ship were just ordinary people, without any particularly strong Chakra fluctuations.
"You! What kind of monster are you?!"
People climbed out of the glass enclosure, and whether by fate or not, they all survived, with only a few injured.
Despite the dizziness in her head, Kyōai asked calmly, "Who ordered you to attack the Sand Ninja of the Land of Wind?"
When everyone saw Kyōai with eight arms, they were terrified, but remained silent.
"Hey, sir, you're pretty amazing!"
Two women slowly rose from the crowd, clad in armor, clearly not the same kind of people as those inside the glass enclosures.
The two were none other than Kamira and Ranke, two of Haidō's top generals.
Kamira has very fair skin, wears green metallic armor, has chestnut-colored hair with short, choppy bangs, the side hair reaching her chest and the back hair reaching her waist, and her eyes are a bewitching red.
Ranke was also wearing metal armor, and his hair and eye colors were the same as Kamira's, except that his armor was entirely purple.
Kyōai Chakra from the two women, but rather a different kind of energy she had never seen before. She smiled lightly and said, "You two beauties, are you their leaders?"
Kamira saw the beads of sweat on Kyōai's forehead. " Ranke, he hasn't even made a move yet, his Chakra must be running low. Let's kill him."
Ranke nodded, clenching his fists. "Roar!"
His hair turned white, the whites of his eyes disappeared and his eyes turned completely red, two white lines appeared on his face, his fair and slender arms became long like an ape's arms, his whole body became thick and strong, and his size became several times that of the beginning.
When Kyōai saw that the once beautiful Ranke had transformed into this state in just a few seconds, she exclaimed, "What the hell? I was wondering why you guys weren't equipped with ninja tools. So you can transform, huh? You were just a little slow."
"Roar!"
After transforming, Ranke was no longer able to speak, so he could only roar and swing his fists at Kyōai.
At this moment, Kyōai Chakra had exhausted her chakra and had no extra Chakra. After exchanging a punch with Ranke, she stepped back and stood at one end of the warship.
Kamira then completed her transformation, sprouting bat-like wings and flying into the air.
" Youth Concerto!"
A sound suddenly came from the sky. Kamira looked up and saw a figure covered in green battle aura rushing down from the sky.
It's Rock Lee!
"So fast!"
In a moment of panic, Kamira flapped her fleshy wings to dodge to the side, and Rock Lee's attack missed, but the force of the blow made her cheek sting.
" Ranke! Watch out!"
"Boom!"
"Roar!"
However, Rock Lee's initial target was not Kamira in the air, but Ranke on the ground.
Ranke was kicked in the back by Rock Lee. The immense force caused her to cough up blood, fall to the ground, and become deeply embedded in the ship's iron frame.
Kyōai a long sigh and sheathed her sword, " Rock Lee, you've come at the perfect time!"
" Kyōai- kun...Σ() You eight-armed monster, how come you have Kyōai- kun's face! Take this! Konoha Strong Fist Whirlwind!"
"Huh? Pfft!"
To Kyōai's utter surprise, when Rock Lee saw his eight arms, his first reaction was to jump up and kick him.
Thump!
Kyōai transformed into a cannonball and kicked into the deep sea.
The people on the shore saw it clearly and were discussing it animatedly.
Temari wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and asked Kankuro, who was standing next to her, "Hey, Kankuro, was Kyōai kicked away just now?"
Kankuro nodded solemnly. "Yes!"
After the armored soldier fell to the ground, Shino retrieved all the insects, and Choji also stopped. The two watched as Kyōai was kicked into the water.
Choji scratched his head. "Was that... Rock Lee just now?"
Shino was silent for a moment, then said, "Hmm. That idiot Rock Lee probably mistook Kyōai for a monster."
"Then let's hurry and save him!"
Choji's Lightning Release Chakra Mode erupted once more, propelling him towards the sea.
Kyōai thrashed about in the water for a while before popping her head up and staring at Rock Lee on the boat. " Rock Lee! You idiot! It's me!"
Rock Lee: "Oh! It's Kyōai- kun! How did you get into the water? There was a monster that looked exactly like you! I kicked it away!"
"Hehehe, kid, you really think we're that fragile? We're holy warriors who wield the Stone of Gelel!"
Kyōai pointed behind Rock Lee: " Lee-kun! Be careful!"
Suddenly, Rock Lee felt a chill run down his spine. He saw himself engulfed in a dark shadow, and when he turned around, he saw it was Ranke, the very person he had just kicked down.
"Roar!"
At this moment, all of Ranke's injuries were rapidly healed, and after being stimulated, his body became even larger, with his fists almost the same size as Rock Lee's. He raised his fists high and smashed them down at Rock Lee.
Rock Lee had no choice but to leap aside.
"Boom!"
Ranke's immense strength smashed the entire bow of the ship into pieces.
Rock Lee landed in front of Kyōai and took the opportunity to reach out his right hand to pull Kyōai up. " Kyōai- kun, this monster is very strong! And we... and you, you eight-armed monster!"
"Σ() Rock Lee, listen to me!"
"No need for further words! Feel the power of the Blue Beast of Konoha! Konoha Strong Fist Straight Punch!"
"Holy crap! Pfft!"
"Look, that Kyōai got knocked away again!"
"Isn't Konoha an ally?"
