Chapter 158: Escalation
Chapter 158: Escalation
"It's not over yet!"
Uzumaki Kushina pulled Kiba over
and positioned him behind her. At the same time, the surrounding Kushina shadow
clones had already reacted. They all leapt up, attacking Yotsuki Bi, who was
flying backward.
Kushina, who had pulled Kiba
behind her, glanced at Kiba out of the corner of her eye, noticing his face was
still a little stiff.
Really... I've learned so much from my disciple. By
constantly practicing with Kiba, I've gained some experience in tactics.
Unknowingly, I've adopted some of his habits. Thanks to his habits, I was
spared this time. If that punch had hit me...
Kushina didn't think about it.
According to the information from the shadow clone's explosion, if that punch
had hit her, this battle would be over.
Previously, when Yotsuki Bi was
dropped by Kushina's two shadow clones, Kushina had subconsciously used the
Substitution Jutsu. When Yotsuki Bi suddenly appeared behind her, she instantly
swapped places with one of Kiba's closest shadow clones, avoiding Yotsuki Bi's
fatal punch.
This method came from practicing
against Kiba. Facing Kiba's final move, she figured out a countermeasure by
herself, ensuring replacement animals, plants, or clones were ready. After all,
every time he fought with Kiba, he would perform some amazing combo attacks.
To support Kiba's tactical
ability, as a teacher, Kushina naturally spent a lot of thought. If she lost to
her disciple during duel training, how could she train Kiba effectively?
To handle Kiba's continuous
attacks, Kushina felt the pressure and thought about it. Kiba's progress was
rapid, and his continuous attacks became more unexpected. At first, she relied
on the multiple shadow clones, her vitality, chakra, and the Second Hokage's
Water Release secret technique, the Powerful Water Wrist, to suppress Kiba.
Gradually, Kiba showed a tendency to defeat the strong with the weak, making
Kushina feel unprecedented pressure. Although initially reluctant, after many
duels, Kushina understood that to continue crushing Kiba with "absolute
strength" and achieve the goal of training him, she needed to understand
his tactics and tactical thinking.
After each battle, like Kiba, she
silently summarized the gains and losses of each duel, gradually understanding
some of Kiba's tactical thinking. Applying these understandings to sparring,
Kushina returned to crushing Kiba with "absolute advantage."
However, unconsciously, her
fighting style also changed, especially in terms of tactics, becoming quite
"Kiba style."
To be honest, after realizing she
had a bit of "Kiba style," Kushina's self-esteem took a hit. She
hadn't taught Kiba much, but she was "taught" by Kiba in every duel.
Really, what a disciple who doesn't let Master feel
the joy of 'teaching'!
Kushina's eyes were focused on
Yotsuki Bi, a smile on her lips that quickly faded.
So, I must beat this guy here! Even if he hasn't
been taught any powerful ninjutsu and knowledge, at least his safety is
protected by me, his teacher!
Thinking of this, Kushina's face
sank, and an unprecedented seriousness surged on her beautiful face.
Bang bang bang!
At this time, the dozen or so
Kushina shadow clones attacking Yotsuki Bi mid-air had already been blown away
by him.
Thud!
Yotsuki Bi fell to the ground from
mid-air, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
Time is running out! The current situation is
terrible. The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has escaped the seal. If I want to capture
her now, without a sealed container, I can only... break her limbs!
Yotsuki Bi frowned, making up his
mind, but when he looked up, he was taken aback.
In front of him, the Nine-Tails
Jinchuriki that was protecting the kid behind her, bursts of bubble-like red
chakra slowly overflowed, attaching to her body surface, completely enveloping
the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, forming a pale red human fox-shaped chakra coat, and
a red chakra fox tail fluttering slowly.
This is... the Tailed Beast Coat!
Oh no!
Yotsuki Bi froze, his Lightning
Release Chakra Mode suddenly straightened, and his hair stood up slightly from
the stimulation of the Thunder Chakra.
Is it the limit? 50% of the Lightning Release Chakra
is activated... However, with one tail, this 50% is enough!
Yotsuki Bi inhaled slightly, his
body tensing.
At this time, seeing the Tailed
Beast Coat on Kushina's body, Kiba's eyes widened slightly.
Has Kushina been able to use Nine-Tails' chakra?
No, this is not impossible. In the
original work, Kushina only appeared in the tug-of-war between Naruto and
Kyuubi. When Naruto was eroded by Kyuubi, Kushina talked about the Kyuubi
incident, conveying her feelings and maternal love towards Naruto, helping him
defeat Kyuubi. There was no mention of Kushina's strength.
However, Kushina is proficient in
sealing techniques, and even the sealing technique that seals the Nine-Tails
belongs to the Uzumaki family. Naruto's ability to use Nine-Tails' chakra was
infiltrated from the seal. Naruto doesn't know how to seal yet.
If Kushina is proficient in
sealing techniques and the sealing technique that sealed the Nine-Tails belongs
to the Uzumaki Clan, what difficulty is there in absorbing some of the
Nine-Tails' chakra from the seal structure?
At the time of the Nine-Tails
incident, Kushina was giving birth, her seal was weak, and her body was also
weak, so she was easily subdued and even had the Tailed Beast extracted.
Just imagine, among all the people
of various ages, who is weak?
Is it only the Nine-Tails'
Jinchuriki, and only Kushina is too weak to defend herself?
The answer is of course no!
Kushina is strong! Very strong!
She is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki
of the Uzumaki Clan!
While Kiba was thinking, the tail
on the back of Kushina's Tailed Beast Coat slowly diverged and became two, and
then a third one appeared!
Tailed Beast Coat with three tails!
At this time, Kushina's pupils had
turned blood red, her pupils were inverted, as if there was red mist escaping
from her breathing.
In the next instant, Kushina
suddenly disappeared from Kiba's sight.
Boom!
There was a muffled sound.
Kiba was stunned, then reacted
abruptly, looking hundreds of meters away, where thunder and lightning
intertwined with Nine-Tails' chakra, making piercing screams.
Kushina and Yotsuki Bi punched
each other fiercely.
Boom!
Then, another punch.
Bang bang!
Both of them threw out their fists
together, slamming into each other fiercely.
Wow!
The violent airwaves swept in, and
the wind howled immediately. The branches and leaves of the trees in the dense
forest flew across, and the river burst with waves. The gale rolled up and flew
around the two of them.
Amazing!
Kiba covered his eyes with one
hand, standing with difficulty in the strong wind.
Kushina's Tailed Beast Transformation can't be
underestimated, and Yotsuki Bi's Lightning Release Chakra Mode has also been
enhanced!
