However, to his surprise, the Senbon transformed by the Mysterious Peacock Method broke through the pillar of fire unscathed, without losing any speed.
"Pfft pfft pfft..."
"Boom!"
Another loud bang rang out, but at the same moment the elbow strike landed, Natsuhiboshi's hand seals changed again. The beast dispersed like liquid and then condensed into a purple samurai sword, which slashed down. Meanwhile, she herself condensed wings behind her and flew into the sky.
Hōryūsai didn't turn around. Instead, he straddled the ground and struck out with his right elbow, unleashing a burst of flames that collided with the beast.
Natsuhiboshi flapped its wings and dodged to one side.
Natsuhiboshi had originally intended to use his flight advantage to slowly deplete Hōryūsai 'Chakra, but upon seeing him chasing after her with fiery wings, she abandoned the idea. "I didn't expect your form transformations to be so precisely controlled, Mysterious Peacock Method: Senbon!"
The Mysterious Peacock Method is the embodiment of perfect control over form transformation. Purple Chakra can be condensed into any shape desired. At this moment, Natsuhiboshi flapped her wings, and a large number of purple Senbon split off from her wings, attacking Hōryūsai was flying in. The range was so wide that it was difficult to completely dodge them.
The Senbon pierced Hōryūsai's body, causing him to lose his balance due to the intense pain. At the same time, the flame wings were also pierced by the Senbon Chakra, and the flame wings were soon dissolved and fell downwards.
Using two or more different elemental ninjutsu simultaneously is called " Combination Release," a basic technique in the Nuclear Ninja Secret Arts. It can unleash power that is close to or even surpasses that of Kekkei Genkai.
The Great Flame Breakthrough is a technique that uses Wind Release to assist Fire Style. With the two combined, a fiercely burning pillar of fire rushes towards Natsuhiboshi above, while also engulfing Senbon.
Hōryūsai landed steadily, some blood flowing from the spots where the Senbon had struck him. He thought to himself, "So that's how it is. The Mysterious Peacock Method can also absorb Chakra, then..."
In fact, Hōryūsai had already realized that Natsuhiboshi hadn't killed him and had reserved some of his strength.
The disc-shaped wings behind Natsuhiboshi flapped. "You're strong, but if that's all you're good at, you'll lose."
Hōryūsai kept his eyes closed, making no attempt to dodge. " Fire Style: Wind Release, Great Flame Breakthrough!"
Temari was astonished. "Hey, Shino, can you tell what kind of nature change this is?"
Shino shook his head. "Although it looks like Fire Style, I've never seen a white Fire Style before."
Hōryūsai looked at the Natsuhiboshi in the sky. "Well then, be careful."
Hōryūsai leaped into the air, flames erupting from his body and spreading outwards. " Fire Style: White Vermilion Bird."
All the flames converged on the katana, forming a ten-meter-long white Vermilion Bird. With the blade as its beak, it let out a sharp cry and instantly attacked Natsuhiboshi.
Natsuhiboshi watched as the white flames, which hadn't even reached her yet, began to burn her clothes, drawing out white smoke. She dared not hold back any longer and unleashed her strongest technique. " Mysterious Peacock Method - Dragon!"
All the activated Chakra gathered backward, condensing into a giant dragon that charged downward.
But something even more shocking happened. The giant dragon formed from the Mysterious Peacock Method was dissolved by the intense heat like water just before it reached the White Vermilion Bird, serving no purpose whatsoever. She herself was also bound by an invisible force, unable to escape. "This! Is this your power?! It's terrifying!"
Before the sword even arrived, its energy had already pierced Natsuhiboshi's gas mask, revealing her mature and beautiful face.
"Call."
When the sword tip touched Natsuhiboshi's brow, all the flames dissipated, Hōryūsai closed his eyes again. "So it was a woman."
Both of them lost their wings, their bodies touched the ground, and the air became cool again as the flames dissipated.
Natsuhiboshi was still reeling from the power of the sword strike; her body trembled uncontrollably, and she knelt on one knee.
Temari forward and patted Hōryūsai on the shoulder. "You're quite capable! I didn't expect your Fire Style to be so powerful."
Shino also stepped forward and asked, " Hōryūsai, what exactly is the nature of your Fire Style? It's actually white; I've never seen it before."
Hōryūsai sheathed his still-heat-filled katana. "This is a secret technique of our Nuclear Ninja Village. If you want to know, join our Nuclear Ninja Village."
Having witnessed the fighting prowess of Kyōai and Hōryūsai, Temari deeply realized that this Nuclear Ninja Village was unprecedented in both technology and secret techniques.
Shino shared the same thought, "Joining is out of the question; I'm afraid you guys will lower my IQ. By the way, Captain Temari, what should we do with this woman?"
Hōryūsai looked at Natsuhiboshi: "Your name is Natsuhiboshi, right? I don't think you're an enemy. Let's talk?"
Not only Temari and Shino were shocked, but the three boys who themselves used the Mysterious Peacock Method were also utterly astonished.
Having lived in Hoshigakure since childhood, they knew very little about other villages. Today, upon Hōryūsai's overwhelming combat power, they realized that their years of training were nothing but a joke, and they were completely disheartened.
Subaruboshi, as the most talented Star Ninja of this generation, suffered the greatest blow. "Impossible! Hoshikage said that as long as we fully master the power of the stars, we can make Hoshigakure the sixth greatest ninja village."
Hokuto Star advised, " Subaruboshi, even the most powerful Natsuhiboshi is no match for that old man, we..."
No! I don't believe it!
Hōryūsai, seeing the imminent chuunibyou (delusional Subaruboshi, said, "Young men, do you crave power? Join me!"
Natsuhiboshi, suspended in the air, wore an expression that was hard to decipher. Even suspended in mid-air, she felt the heatwave. "What terrifying Chakra!"
White flames burned on the Beef Tendon Jaka, and Hōryūsai looked like a god of war bathed in the white flames. His eyes were slightly open, and his eye sockets were also filled with dazzling white light. The light of the flames illuminated the surrounding forest.
Hōryūsai chuckled, "This level? This is only one-tenth of my power. Since you have kind intentions, I won't be a bad person. In that case, I'll show you the power of the Thirteen Nuclear Guardian Pillars."
After saying this, Hōryūsai stretched out his right hand, and the cane in the cave seemed to respond, vibrating twice before flying towards him on its own, igniting flames at the same time. It turned out that the wooden cane contained a samurai sword in the center.
While Hōryūsai was speaking, Natsuhiboshi Rixing commanded the beasts that had missed their target to attack from behind.
The katana landed steadily in Hōryūsai's left hand, then he held it horizontally in front of him, grasped the hilt, and slowly drew it out. The blade, as if it had been in a furnace for seven days and seven nights, emitted a white light, and the air instantly became scorching hot. "All things, all turned to ashes - Beef Tendon Jaka!"
"Boom!"
In response, the flames on Hōryūsai's body turned completely white, the temperature increased dramatically, and the soil around his feet was scorched black, emitting a burnt smell.
Seeing this, Hōryūsai dared not confront him directly. He wanted to close the distance between them again, and at the same time, he quickly Hand Seals, and flames behind his body condensed into wings. " Fire Style: Flame Phoenix!"
The wings of flame were especially noticeable at night, with each feather clearly defined, demonstrating Hōryūsai's exceptional control over Fire Style.
