Faced with Shinichi's Lightning Style pursuit, she immediately activated her Wind Style chakra, causing the cyan blade to cover the katana!
Clang!!!
Blade and katana clash once more!
This collision was much more intense than the first one!
Blinding sparks exploded, and cyan wind blades and azure lightning clashed and tore and splashed wildly at the point where the two swords clashed!
The wind blades shot out, carving furrows in the surrounding ground, while leaping arcs of electricity sent pebbles flying everywhere!
The two transformed into two lightning-fast afterimages amidst the smoke-filled battlefield, clashing and separating in an instant, then clashing again!
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Shinichi's katana transformed into a blue-white lightning bolt, each strike powerful and heavy, carrying the ferocious, penetrating force of the Chidori Blade.
Chopping, slashing, parrying, and thrusting, each move aimed directly at vital points!
Pakura's katana, meanwhile, moved like a nimble serpent. Wrapped in cyan wind blades, it was light and agile, countering speed with speed, breaking force with skill. Each collision borrowed and redirected force, dissolving the opponent's terrifying power into nothingness!
The sharp sounds of clashing swords were as dense as a sudden rainstorm. Each clash produced dazzling sparks, and cyan wind blades and azure lightning shot out continuously, cutting the already messy ground to pieces, leaving countless scorched marks and crisscrossing blade marks!
The ground beneath their feet cracked repeatedly with each collision, the rubble being pulverized by the blasting wind blades and arcs of electricity. The dust grew thicker and thicker, almost completely engulfing their figures!
Too fast!
So fast that their movements could not be seen clearly, only two streaks of light could barely be captured, weaving across the battlefield. Wherever they passed, the air tore apart, the ground shattered, and stones and dust were swept up by violent air currents, forming small whirlwinds!
Hizashi Hyuga stood in front of the Medical Ninjas, his Byakugan fixed on the two rapidly moving chakra streams within the cloud of smoke.
Fast!
In his vision, the two chakra trails almost intertwined into a chaotic web of light, so fast that even he could hardly capture the details of each strike!
Lightning Style!
Shinichi actually knows how to use lightning techniques, and his skill in them is quite remarkable.
Hizashi Hyuga was surprised, but he didn't have time to think about it further.
After all, that was Shinichi Higashino.
The youngest and most brilliant genius in Konoha.
For someone who, at this age, could cultivate Fire Style, Taijutsu, Swordsmanship, and Medical Ninjutsu to that level, having one more Lightning Style ability didn't seem particularly strange.
But why does this lightning style look so familiar?
More than two months ago, Isshin, the samurai from the Land of Iron who caused quite a stir in the Konoha arena, also used Lightning Style.
Now, Shinichi's Lightning Style Ninjutsu, in terms of form, fluctuations, and application, is exactly the same as that of the samurai from that day.
Could it be... That he learned it from just one battle?
Hizashi Hyuga's pupils contracted slightly.
That samurai's Lightning Style Ninjutsu was clearly a unique, self-contained system, far beyond what one could simply imitate after a few glances.
But how can this scene be explained?
Genius?
…
Wind blades and lightning bolts shot out wildly from their intersecting paths!
The sharp, piercing sounds of swords clashing were as dense as a torrential downpour on banana leaves. Each collision sent out blinding sparks, and each impact created a shockwave!
'This kid knows Lightning Style, and he's so proficient at it!?'
In the midst of the fierce collision, Pakura looked at the young boy before her, whose body was surrounded by lightning, whose speed had increased dramatically, and whose swordsmanship was fierce and sharp, and was deeply shocked.
This kid was already very fast; Pakura realized Shinichi's amazing explosive power and speed from the very first exchange.
With the added power of lightning nature chakra, his speed increased dramatically, becoming ridiculously fast! Even faster than her when using Quick Style!
The only issue was that his reaction speed seemed unable to keep up with his body's speed, resulting in extremely subtle delays between each of his rapid attacks.
Just like how the eyes and brain haven't had time to process the previous action before the body has already started the next one.
Even so, the situation remains difficult.
This kid is too difficult to deal with!
Although she tried her best to avoid direct confrontation with her opponent, either dodging or deflecting the force, that guy's swordsmanship was too fierce, covering too wide an area. In battle, he constantly pressed the attack, every move risking his life, carrying a savage ferocity like a bloodthirsty beast!
On several occasions, she was forced into direct clashes. After only a short while, her hands were already numb.
This can't go on any longer.
She took a deep breath, and her speed suddenly erupted, causing her to retreat rapidly!
At the same time, she slashed out with her right hand
"Wind Style: Vacuum Blade!"
A solid wind blade tore through the air, whistling as it slashed towards Shinichi!
Lightning flashed around Shinichi as he sidestepped to avoid it and prepared to pursue.
However, in that very instant, Pakura's left hand had already completed a series of hand seals!
"Scorch Release: Extremely Steaming Murder!"
Several orange fireballs shot out, blocking all of Shinichi's pursuit paths!
Shinichi's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly swept his katana horizontally, causing the azure lightning on the blade to surge violently!
A blade of lightning condensed from the glow shot out from the edge, precisely striking the incoming orange fireballs!
Boom!!!
The fireball exploded in mid-air, turning into countless sparks that flew everywhere!
The scorching heatwave spread outwards, burning the rubble on the ground black.
Sparks rained down, creating a dazzling yet deadly curtain of light between the two.
Amidst the countless sparks, Pakura gently landed on a protruding rock.
Her orange-blonde hair swayed slightly in the heat, and her slender figure stood out vividly in the firelight.
Pakura looked at the boy in front of her, a slight smile appearing at her lips.
"Kid from Konoha, it's been a long time. I never imagined we would meet again..."
However, the boy, upon hearing Pakura's words, merely glanced behind her and, before she could finish speaking, transformed into a streak of blue and white lightning and ran away!
The next moment, the dense black shadows behind Pakura surged out like a tide!
Three hundred elite Sunagakure ninjas!
The group consisted entirely of combat ninjas, with the leading dozens of Jonin possessing a deep and imposing aura, followed by more than two hundred Chunin with eyes as sharp as knives!
At the forefront, three young men with purple hair were fully activating their Red Eyes. Their unique eyes flashed with an eerie light as they rapidly scanned their surroundings.
Invisible chakra fluctuations spread out like ripples on water, creating illusory images that interfered with vision and perception.
Under the combined effect of these three pairs of Red Eyes, this area appeared to Konoha as just an ordinary corner of a battlefield where fierce battle was taking place.
Even Hizashi Hyuga, who was closest to the area, only saw Shinichi and Pakura continuing their fight when his Byakugan swept across the area.
Pakura: "..."
She opened her mouth, but the words she was about to say got stuck in her throat.
