Chapter 161: Exhausted
Chapter 161: Exhausted
Boom!
The water blade tornado stopped,
and a huge water column fell like a waterfall, crashing into the river,
stirring up countless waves that hit the shore with a "squeaky"
sound.
Kiba and Kushina were also tossed
by the water waves. Kiba was panting heavily and was utterly exhausted. He had
just turned on the Life Gates mode for the second time, relying on the
supplementary physical strength and chakra from the soldier pill, which caused
adverse reactions such as weakness. Combined with the exhaustion of the Life
Gates mode, Kiba's physical strength was nearly depleted.
Kiba almost felt that he could not
maintain the chakra to tread water as his eyelids drooped due to fatigue.
The tail of Kushina's tailed beast
coat had also been reduced from three to one, and the wound on her chest and
abdomen had healed, but she was still panting.
Their eyes were fixed on the place
where the water column fell. The water waves had calmed down, revealing Yotsuki
Bi floating face down in the water, blood strands overflowing from his body,
staining a small area around him red. Traces of being cut by the wind blade and
water knife could also be seen on his body.
Sure enough, his Lightning Release Chakra Mode can't
last long. With the restraining effect of Wind Release, the wind blade will
definitely destroy his lightning armor.
Kiba panted heavily, with a slight
smile on the corner of his mouth.
It's over...
Thinking this, he finally breathed
a sigh of relief and plopped down to sit.
"Kiba... are you okay?"
Kushina was startled when she saw him sit down and hurriedly stepped on the
water to check on Kiba's condition.
Kiba propped himself up with his
hands on the water and said between breaths, "No... it's okay, I'm fine,
but, too... too tired..."
While Kiba was talking, Kushina
roughly finished the inspection and found that Kiba was fine, just exhausted
and probably couldn't walk anymore. She breathed a sigh of relief but also felt
waves of fatigue wash over her.
Opening a small gap in the seal to
use Nine-Tails' chakra was also quite exhausting. In addition to the
Nine-Tails' chakra used to heal the newly acquired wound, there wasn't much
chakra left in her body at this time.
The amount of chakra consumed by
the powerful water wrist technique was also considerable. After all, it was the
secret Water Release technique used by the Second Hokage of the Senju clan. The
maximum power of the secret technique required a vast amount of chakra. Even if
Kushina belonged to the Uzumaki clan, it was a bit of a stretch to use it
continuously.
Every time she fought against
Yotsuki Bi, she had to use the powerful water wrist technique; otherwise, she
wouldn't be able to counter his terrifying power, even with the protection and
enhancement of the tailed beast coat. Only the powerful water wrist technique
could help.
This technique was different from
the strange power; it concentrated the water in the whole body into the hand,
generating a tremendous force that could collapse rock walls.
Originally, she planned to pass on
this secret technique to Kiba once he reached a jounin-level chakra, but now,
judging by the tremendous power Kiba had displayed, it was estimated that, like
Lady Tsunade's strange power, there was no need to teach him the secret
technique.
Kushina looked at Kiba, who was
sitting on the water, panting heavily, and a smile appeared on her lips
unconsciously.
It's a miracle that Kiba wasn't seriously injured in
a confrontation with such a powerful opponent. In terms of injuries, there were
only scratches from stones. The new skin on his right shoulder... did he heal
himself? He also learned medical ninjutsu very well!
In just two months, Kiba had
improved so much. It's hard to imagine what kind of powerful ninja he would
become when he grew up.
Thinking of this, Kushina's smile
widened into a proud one. When the smile bloomed, the last tail of the tailed
beast coat on Kushina's body slowly merged into the Nine-Tails chakra covering
her body.
The Nine-Tails chakra was almost
used up.
Kushina took a deep breath,
breathing evenly.
At this time, Kiba's eyelids
slowly drooped, and his body began to slowly sink into the water. Kushina
quickly grabbed Kiba and pulled him up.
Amidst the sound of the water,
Kushina dragged Kiba onto the shore.
This child's reckless temperament hasn't changed! He
exhausted all his chakra, leaving no room. What if there are other enemies!
Kushina complained a little in her
heart, but the smile on her lips couldn't be suppressed.
After walking ashore, Kushina put
Kiba down. The moment Kiba touched the ground, his drooping eyelids suddenly
opened, as if startled, and he stood up abruptly. Kushina was startled and
subconsciously jumped away.
"Kiba..." Kushina called
out after jumping away, her tone relieved.
Kiba stood up too abruptly, making
her subconsciously jump away.
Suddenly standing up, Kiba felt
dizzy and weak all over, shaking a bit, almost falling down.
How did I get to shore? Just for a moment... I lost
consciousness?
Although exhaustion and
powerlessness intertwined, and fatigue swept over him, Kiba's thinking remained
active. When he was on the water, his eyes went dark, and then he felt the
hardness of the ground.
It must have been Kushina!
At this time, Kiba heard Kushina's
exclamation and took a breath.
It's over... it's over!
Kiba said this to himself.
The moment this thought turned
around, there was a "bang" on the water far behind him, and a cloud
of spray burst out.
What!
Kiba quickly turned his head to
look but saw a flash of lightning rushing towards him with overwhelming killing
intent!
In the electric light, Yotsuki
Bi's eyes were redder than ever. His Lightning Release Chakra Mode crackled and
sprayed out radially. One hand was stretched out with a clenched fist,
lightning flashing on his arm, but he charged with his wrist!
Hide!
Kiba's first reaction was this.
It's over!
And then the second reaction.
At this time, Kiba couldn't take a
step forward.
He couldn't move anymore!
The lightning wrist was already in
sight, and Yotsuki Bi's murderous intent swept over him like a substance.
My body is seriously injured, and the effect of the
soldier pill is about to wear off. I will definitely die... The Nine-Tails
Jinchuriki is nothing compared to this brat. He must not survive!
At this moment, in Yotsuki Bi's
cognition, Kiba's threat was even greater than that of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki
Kushina, who belonged to the Uzumaki clan.
Must be eliminated quickly!
At this moment, time seemed to
freeze.
Scenes after crossing passed
Kiba's eyes, but his gaze was fixed blankly on the wrist of lightning coming
towards his head.
Now it's really over, the carousel has already
begun...
There was a bitter smile of
despair at the corner of Kiba's mouth.
Then...
The next moment...
Kiba's face changed, and his eyes
widened slightly.
It was also at this time that
Yotsuki Bi's killing intent broke out completely.
Die, brat! Lightning Plough Hot Knife!
Boom!
There was a muffled sound,
followed by the sound of bones being crushed.
Cough!
A handful of blood splashed into
the air.
Kushina opened her arms and stood
in front of Kiba.
She had blocked the violent
lightning wrist!
A smile appeared on the corner of
Kushina's mouth.
"Don't even think about...
hurting my disciple in front of me!"
