NOVEL WEB Chapter 67: Chapter 68: Distance is Meaningless Between You and Me
Facing the agitated villagers of Amegakure, the Konoha shinobi realized that something was wrong, but they were utterly helpless.
This was the irreconcilable hatred between Konoha and Amegakure.
Even Jiraiya could only attempt to "atone" through his teachings to Nagato and the others, but he could not eliminate it.
The hatred and animosity of Amegakure, which had been subdued by Kakashi through threats and inducements, were now reignited by that man.
Thus, the only option left was to…
Kill that suddenly appeared loathsome guy, which had become Hanzō's and Amegakure's only choice.
"You..."
Faced with the noise from the Amegakure villagers behind him, Hanzō instinctively opened his mouth, but seeing those furious faces, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
They had no idea what they were up against or what they were resisting.
The resources and power of the great nations were beyond that of the Land of Rain.
If, if he were still young…
"Hanzō, are you still hesitating?"
Hyuga Kumo sighed and said, "Look at you now, like those pitiful prostitutes whose beauty has faded, trying to cover your frivolous and deceitful behavior with heavy makeup, trying to erase the deepening wrinkles at the corners of your eyes."
"How pathetic."
At this point, he paused and looked down at Hanzō, smiling slightly, "I know what you're hesitating about."
"What if I told you that I can bring your body back to its peak state and give you power far beyond what you had before?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Hanzō suddenly raised his head, blurted out, "What did you say?"
Almost simultaneously with Hyuga Kumo uttering those words, Hatake Kakashi realized instantly that he could no longer wait.
"Attack!"
With his low shout, the Konoha shinobi, who had already refined their chakra, quickly responded and began forming hand seals.
"Suiton: Haryū Benryū!"
"Suiton: Mizurappa!"
"Suiton: Mizuha Jōshō!"
"Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu!"
Boom! The sound of water erupted at that moment, and a curtain of water fifteen meters high seemed to rush straight into the sky.
The blue glow of water poured down, enveloping everything in front of them. The surging floodwaters rose under the guidance of hand seals and were lifted by an invisible force.
Like a tornado, it began to twist and weave around the Konoha shinobi, condensing and shaping into a fierce dragon head.
"Stop! You—"
Hanzō had not yet snapped out of it from Hyuga Kumo's words when he suddenly saw the Konoha people together forming seals and unleashing their jutsu.
His face contorted with shock and anger, but he was drowned out by the deafening sound of water.
"Raiton: Chidori!" x2 Hatake Kakashi's hands moved quickly like fluttering butterflies, using "Chidori" to add Lightning Release chakra to the Water Release ninjutsu. However, he heard someone beside him shout out the same name.
"What?"
He turned in disbelief to find Hyuga Kumo's palm producing a familiar blue-and-white surge of violent electricity, sending a shiver down his spine and making him wonder if he was under genjutsu.
No way, how could you use Chidori? Aren't you from the Hyuga clan?!
But now wasn't the time to question this; he poured Lightning Release chakra into the water dragon, as did 'Hyuga Kumo' beside him.
Buzzing!! The ear-splitting crack of lightning was instantly amplified to the extreme, and the lightning of Chidori spread throughout the water dragon's body like countless frantically extending blue blood vessels, instantly filling its gigantic, twisting form!
Roar! The water dragon, made of electric water and measuring several meters in diameter, raised its head and bared its sharp teeth, letting out a silent roar towards the figure above while biting down with the overwhelming, destructive power of nature.
With the terrifying impact of the high-pressure water, cracks formed on the tower walls, threatening to wash away everything in front of it like an advancing tide!
And amidst the dense black-web woven shadow, that figure appeared completely unfazed.
Hyuga Kumo calmly observed the water dragon swinging and biting towards him. He slowly raised his arm, and a black bead, wrapped in shadows, compressed and formed into a shield…
Boom!
The roaring water dragon collided mightily with Hyuga Kumo's shield, and a massive splash of water mixed with violent currents shot skyward!
The blinding electric light exploded at the point of impact, the current wildly expanded, crackling incessantly, illuminating the dark tower and the night as bright as day!
White vapor and scorched black smoke surged and spread, while the tower struggled under the strain, beginning to crack and break apart with a crisp sound.
"Damn it! Get out!"
Hanzō yelled in a dark fury, unhesitatingly leading the Amegakure villagers to retreat.
But Hatake Kakashi ignored the falling debris, his eyes locked on the currents and water vapor until a silhouette gradually emerged from the mist, sending a chilling sensation radiating down his spine.
"Retreat…"
He hoarsely screamed, his leg muscles tightening as he formed hand seals to use the Body Flicker Technique.
His whole body stretched into a black shadow, pushing beyond his limits, shooting backward like an arrow!
The others reacted a moment too late, raising their hands to form seals.
But it was already too late.
"Too bad, between you and me, distance is meaningless."
Hyuga Kumo's tone held a hint of amusement as the shield before him reverted to a round bead, exposing a Shadow Spike beside him that had been compressed to its maximum, ready to strike.
He twisted his wrist, released his clenched fist, and his lips lightly brushed: "Bang!"
The sound echoed like the grim reaper's call. In an instant, countless spikes shot out from beside him.
The piercing shrieks of the spikes tore through the air relentlessly, piercing through the water mist and rain curtain, producing numerous cavities as they punched through, carving black lines through the sky.
This speed, this power...
Not to mention flesh and blood; even steel would be pierced!
"…"
Staring at the falling spikes, the minds of the Konoha shinobi went almost blank, their faces twisted in fear, their eyes filled only with the sharp spikes closing in.
Too fast, way too fast!
The terrifying threat of death was nearly enough to drive them to madness! "Ah!!!"
They wildly swung their weapons, and a flurry of blades moved at high speed, creating flashes of sparks in front of them.
The spikes aimed at their hearts and heads were barely deflected, yet they couldn't stop other spikes from penetrating their bodies.
Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!
Bloody bursts erupted one after another.
Like nails piercing through paper, they instantly pierced through the crowd, leaving behind numerous bloody holes that screamed as they went!
The terrifying penetration power struck the body, not stopping within flesh and bone, but passing through entirely, then stabbing deeper!
The blood splattered onto the surrounding walls, creating a series of crescent-shaped droplets, dyeing them red and turning them into a crimson sea.
