Chapter 152: Encounter
Thud...
Kiba placed the barrel engraved with seals on the
ground as a series of explosions erupted behind him. Wood chips flew, and smoke
rose everywhere.
Kiba 's face was stern as he faced
the burly figure in front of him. This man had long, hard hair that fell like
spikes, and two curled mustaches on his upper lip. His bronze skin appeared
slightly dull under the moonlight. Despite his loose clothing, his knotted
muscles were prominent, indicating formidable strength. His golden hair, beard,
and the few wrinkles on his face suggested he was no longer young.
Did he already place the explosive tags when he
passed the dense forest just now?
Kiba 's frown deepened, his heart
pounding faster. For the first time, he felt nervous before a battle.
Almost instinctively, he realized
how dangerous the man in front of him was.
Boom boom boom...
In the moonlight, with the sound
of explosions, trees began to fall.
Opposite Kiba , the burly figure
squinted at the seven-year-old child in front of him.
This kid's timing is impeccable, even daring to rush
forward amidst an attack.
Has Konoha produced another young genius?
"Papa papa!"
Broken wood fell like rain,
hitting the open space.
Kiba and the burly figure stared at each other.
Almost simultaneously, they each grabbed a piece of broken wood falling beside
them and threw them away.
Snap!
In the rain of broken wood, two
pieces passed through the heavy rain of wood chips, collided, and shattered
with a crisp sound.
Boom!
Just as the wood splinters
shattered, the two fists collided fiercely where the wood splinters had met. An
invisible airwave spread out, sending countless pieces of wood flying.
Kiba 's pupils contracted slightly
in surprise.
Unexpectedly... able to block the burst of strange
power in the mode of My Life Gate!
The burly figure also frowned.
This kid is very strong!
The two immediately separated. As Kiba
flew back, he grabbed several pieces of
wood and flung them out quickly, reaching into his ninja bag with one hand.
On the opposite side, the burly
figure also threw a piece of wood.
"Papa papa!"
The pieces of wood collided
precisely in one place and shattered, sending three cold lights rushing out
towards Kiba .
Ding ding ding!
Kiba 's hand emerged from behind,
and with a flick of Kunai, three shurikens were deflected. After knocking down
the last shuriken, Kiba 's kunai flew out, targeting the burly figure.
Swish!
Kunai flew quickly, reaching the
burly figure before the three shurikens hit the ground.
The burly figure opened his eyes
slightly. In mid-air, it was difficult to dodge. With a sound of "chi,"
Kunai penetrated his chest.
Boom!
The moment Kunai hit, the burly
figure exploded into a ball of white mist, and a piece of broken wood fell with
a clatter.
Substitution technique!
Kiba 's pupils contracted
slightly. He glanced back, feeling a dark shadow behind him.
One punch, it's about to hit!
Boom!
Flesh muffled.
The burly figure punched Kiba hard on the back, and his pupils shrank.
This feeling...
Boom!
A piece of wood flew from the
punch, hitting a giant tree. The tree trembled, leaves rustling.
Substitution technique!
The burly figure grinned, glancing
at the woods on his right.
Is there?
Kiba 's eyes on a branch in the
dense forest widened. The burly figure disappeared in the rain of wood chips,
and Kiba 's seal formation suddenly stopped.
In the next moment, he looked back
abruptly. Before turning his head completely, a punch fiercely hit his turned
cheek. Outsiders might think Kiba turned
his head to meet the fist himself.
Substitution technique... was seen through!
Kiba was horrified, then a huge force came, sending
him flying like an arrow from the string.
Boy, how naive!
Seeing Kiba fly, the burly figure maintained his posture,
smiling happily.
However, in the next second, his
smile froze. He looked back in disbelief. Before turning his head completely, a
punch landed hard on his face. To others, it seemed as if he hit someone with
his cheek on his fist.
The strange force exploded!
Boom!
Flesh muffled.
The burly figure felt an
outrageous force from his cheek, flying in pain.
Boom!
The burly figure hit Kiba ,
smashing him into a cloud of white mist.
Shadow clone?
The burly figure saw the scenery
rapidly receding, white mist floating back. He instantly understood.
Splash!
Smashed into the wide river, the
burly figure caused a splash. At that moment, Kiba landed steadily on the water, quickly forming
seals.
Boom!
Suddenly, the water exploded
violently, and the burly figure rushed out, punching at Kiba 's cheek.
At this moment, the two were only
half an arm's length away, the punch almost hitting Kiba 's face. The water
burst, cold and stinging.
Now, make a seal!
Kiba leaned back slightly, stretching out his hand.
Instantly, the exploding water splash stagnated, then closed faster. At the
same time, a large amount of river water flew up and closed at this speed,
instantly enveloping the burly figure.
The burly figure felt the water
pressure. He couldn't move, and even the strength of his punch was lost,
rendered useless.
Water Style: Water Prison Technique!
Kiba took a step back, touching the water prison,
and exhaled slowly.
Almost... If that punch hit, it could have been bad.
The burly figure in the water
prison looked at Kiba , frowning.
This kid's observation and reaction skills aren't
like a child's! Not only did he see the three shurikens I hid in the wood
chips, but he also noticed my real body immediately... The most terrifying
thing is his fighting style...
Did the shadow clone appear right after the
substitution technique? Then use it as bait. Did he know I would see through
the substitution technique?
No! It's not a bait; it's purely because the shadow
clone was a backup. This kid is cautious in battle, he thinks far ahead in an
instant...
The way he fights seems to be like...
Snort! Is the old man going to fall to this brat?
