Naruto: Kushina's Redemption, My Revenge

Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Fierce Battle



Chinya faced off alone against a Jonin and a Tokubetsu Jonin.

This was the first time Chinya had fought ninja of this level.

The ninja he had beheaded in a surprise attack hadn't been weak either.

Judging from what had just happened with Ouyu Luo dodging and blocking his Niji no Kata: Rice Spirit—Ouyu Luo's speed was inferior, but his battle experience was vast. He barely dodged the first three strikes. On the fourth strike, he couldn't fully dodge. He only barely pulled back in time—a shallow wound across his chest.

Ouyu Luo exchanged a glance with Atsui. Years of unspoken understanding allowed Atsui to immediately grasp Ouyu Luo's intent.

"Thunderstream Slash!"

After quickly forming hand seals, Ouyu Luo summoned streaks of lightning all around him.

Chinya had been using lightning natured chakra throughout the fight to enhance his physical abilities. The lightning Ouyu Luo produced was naturally drawn toward Chinya and struck him.

At the same time, Ouyu Luo raised his katana and slashed down toward Chinya.

Chinya redirected and neutralized the lightning bolts hurtling toward him while raising his blade horizontally in front of his chest.

Ouyu Luo continuously unleashed three powerful slashes straight at Chinya.

The immense force sent Chinya stumbling back several steps.

As Chinya retreated, Atsui used the Shifting Body Technique to appear behind him and swung his blade in a surprise attack.

But when the strike landed, Chinya's entire body suddenly turned the color of mud before collapsing into a pile of sludge.

Atsui's pupils constricted sharply.

Earth Replacement (Doton: Kawarimi)! When did he make the hand seal?!

Ouyu Luo shouted urgently, "Atsui, dodge!"

[Hidden Fang Serpent Strike!]

Chinya appeared to Atsui's right, and several snakes shot out from his sleeve, catching Atsui completely off guard.

The snakes coiled tightly around Atsui's body, their mouths snapping shut as they bit down hard.

At the same time, Chinya swung his katana toward Atsui's neck.

[Shadow Bolt Thrust!]

Ouyu's body erupted with lightning energy, enhancing his physique and accelerating toward Atsui.

At the precise moment Chinya's blade was about to strike Atsui's neck, Ouyu cut through the snakes wrapped around Atsui, then tackled him to the ground, rolling twice together.

Atsui only suffered a minor slash across his shoulder from the tip of Chinya's blade.

A cold glint flashed in Chinya's eyes.

So, just like that—Konoha's Sannin Orochimaru wasn't the only one capable of using lightning chakra to boost physical performance. Ninja from Cloud Village knew this technique too.

Still, Ouyu Luo's speed didn't increase significantly, meaning the enhancement focused primarily on strength.

After saving Atsui, Ouyu Luo warned him gravely, "Atsui, this kid is dangerous. Don't underestimate him!"

Ouyu Luo's gaze turned heavy as he stared toward Chinya in the distance.

He recognized it—the move Chinya had used was Orochimaru's Secret Techniques.

Chinya formed hand seals with both hands and took a deep breath. 

[Fire Release: Great Dragon Flame]

He gathered chakra in his throat before unleashing a massive wave of flame forward, spreading like an ocean of fire.

"Dodge!"

With a low shout, Ouyu Luo immediately evaded the flames, swiftly circling around them to charge straight at Chinya.

"Lightning Release: Raikō Kenbu!"

Ouyu Luo channeled Lightning Release chakra into his ninja blade, sending arcs of electricity dancing across its surface.

When the chakra reached its peak, the blade unleashed a surge of electricity straight at Chinya.

"Oh? Your technique looks similar to mine. Let's see whose lightning is stronger!"

Chinya pointed the tip of his katana directly at Ouyu Luo.

[Thunder Breathing's Fifth Form – Heat Thunder Realm!]

A Slash Shaped Like a Bolt of Lightning tore from Chinya's katana and shot toward Ouyu Luo.

The lightning emitted by Ouyang Luo collided with Chinya's lightning.

The intense electric light illuminated the entire dark forest.

Both sides' lightning immediately reached a stalemate.

Ouyu Luo was deeply alarmed—how could this kid have so much chakra?

Moreover, his opponent's mastery of shape and nature transformation of lightning-based chakra surpassed even his own.

A genius?

A veteran of the Second Great Ninja War, Ouyu Luo had seen many geniuses before.

Those prodigies had always amazed him.

There were many kids younger than Chinya who could go toe-to-toe with seasoned jonin—or even wipe the floor with them.

In comparison, Ouyu Luo often felt like an ordinary talent.

He was twenty-seven and had only just been promoted to jonin.

His killing intent toward Chinya intensified further.

There was no way he could leave alive if he tried to take this Sharingan-wielding brat with him. He had to kill this kid right here and now.

Otherwise, as he grows stronger, he'll become a serious threat to Kumo.

Ouyu Luo stopped resisting Chinya's Heat Thunder Realm and rolled aside to dodge the blast.

Then he activated the Shifting Body Technique and dashed toward Chinya.

[Cloud Flowing Blade!]

Ouyu Luo slashed forward with his crackling ninja blade aimed at Chinya.

Chinya, adopting an offensive defense, swung his own lightning-emitting katana straight at Ouyu Luo.

The clash of steel rang loud through the forest.

Even though his strength was boosted by lightning-based chakra, Ouyu Luo was still pushed back by Chinya's strike.

As Chinya predicted, Ouyu Luo immediately followed up with another attack.

While being driven backward, Ouyu Luo formed a lightning blade on his weapon that swiftly slashed toward Chinya.

The lightning blade struck Chinya's katana, turning into surges of electricity that spread over Chinya's entire body, delivering strong electric shocks.

"Now! Atsui!"

To Ouyu Luo, Chinya looked stunned—it was the perfect moment to finish him off.

Yet Atsui didn't show up as Ouyu Luo had expected.

Ouyu Luo turned his head slightly, eyes widening in shock.

At that moment, Atsui lay on the ground, half of his body burned by flames, convulsing repeatedly.

"What happened?!"

Chinya had used Fire Release: Great Dragon Flame earlier, but Atsui should've been fast enough to dodge it. So why did he get hit?

"Heh, looks like it finally took effect."

Chinya appeared beside Atsui using the Shifting Body Technique. Grasping Atsui's hair, he yanked him upright.

With his icy cold Sharingan gaze locked onto Ouyu Luo, he sneered, "Why do you think your lightning could ever paralyze me?"

[Were you thinking the Lightning Release on me was just for decoration?]

Ouyu Luo finally noticed that Atsui Ato's veins had turned black. His face darkened instantly: "That snake from earlier?"

Chinya's Hidden Fang Serpent Strike summoned a deadly serpent—it struck as it coiled tightly around Atsui, sinking its fangs into him and injecting venom directly into his body.

Weakened by the poison, Atsui couldn't fully evade Chinya's Fireball Jutsu [Gōka Messhitsu], collapsing onto the ground in violent convulsions.

Chinya pressed the blade of his katana against Atsui's throat and grinned at Ouyu Luo, "Relax, your turn's right after."

Without hesitation, Chinya drove his katana straight through Atsui Ato's neck.

Atsui Ato, impaled by Chinya's blade, thrashed and convulsed briefly before going still.

Ouyu Luo stared at Chinya with eyes wide in fury, his gaze burning with rage.

Chinya gave a light chuckle, "Why are you giving me that look? When you took Kushina, didn't that mean we were already mortal enemies—only one of us could walk away alive?"
