MTLNOVEL Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Makora
Kamihane's hand seals were swift, and the moment he stood up, he initiated his counterattack.
"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!"
The flames erupted as he expelled a massive fireball, akin to the size of an izakaya, with temperatures exceeding a thousand degrees flowing through the air. The crimson light illuminated the night sky!
"This brat... how does he possess such a level of chakra!"
The fireball surged forward, rolling with scorching flames, causing the ground to crack inch by inch, as if even a thousand troops couldn't halt its advance!
Tobirama narrowed his eyes and immediately threw the stunned Uchiha Kagami behind him, clapping his hands together with a loud "clap!"
"Suiton: Suijinheki!"
A waterfall-like amount of water materialized out of thin air, forming a circular water wall that blocked the fireball's path, spinning furiously around Tobirama.
Fire and water intermingled, instantly generating a massive amount of steam in the air.
Kamihane unfurled a scroll and retrieved a new longsword. Holding both swords level, as the Katon chakra infused the hilts, the blades immediately ignited with bright flames, resembling two crimson torches.
"Uchiha-ryū: Ken'yōen." His figure vanished from the spot.
The onlookers' vision was obstructed, and in a fleeting moment, they saw a shadowy figure charging towards the village entrance, where the Uchiha ninjas were stationed, followed by a series of muffled groans.
"It was you who dragged me into this battlefield!"
A flash of the blade, and blood splattered!
"And it was you who forced me to fight for my life!"
The deadly flames of the blade flickered in and out of sight. Kamihane, like a reaper in the mist, had molten lava-like light flowing in his crimson eyes.
"Now, it is still you who seeks to annihilate me!"
His speed was too fast; he continuously released the Shunshin no Jutsu, relying on the innate suppression power of the Mangekyō Sharingan. No one could withstand a single blow from him. Screams and pleas for mercy vanished in an instant!
"Damn it, this guy actually..."
"How is this possible!"
"Help, save—"
"And the Senju clan, are they just going to watch!"
"Kamihane, Kamihane! We're clanmates!"
"No! Ugh—"
Kamihane's gaze was icy cold; at this moment, he was like an emotionless killing machine.
Wielding dual swords, he spun at high speed, using his body as the axis, resembling a burning whirlwind. With each flash, a ninja was cut to pieces, and bright red blood sprayed in all directions!
By the time everyone reacted, the majority of the Uchiha clan members on the field had been slaughtered!
"Fūton: Daitoppa!"
The roaring wind finally dispersed the mist as someone used the Wind Release technique.
At that moment, the water wall began to bubble vigorously, and as the heat spread, the fireball was successfully extinguished.
"Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu!"
Tobirama's hand seals changed, and the remaining water rapidly expanded, flooding Kamihane's feet in an instant.
Kamihane immediately jumped, but a strong suction force from the water surface below pulled him into a massive whirlpool.
Like a flood surging backward, the water converged at its highest point, forming a colossal water dragon that plummeted downward!
"Boom—"
The torrential water waves surged in all directions, the ground collapsed, and even the surrounding houses were swept away by the water.
Tobirama's eyes slightly contracted as Kamihane's figure reappeared in his vision. This time, Kamihane was drenched but without a single wound, except for his right arm, which was twisted at an odd angle.
In the blink of an eye, he returned to his unscathed state, his clothes dry, and his gaze sharp.
Tobirama's expression turned grave. He noticed Kamihane's left eye rotate again, albeit slightly, but it was enough for him to catch.
Somehow, a chilling sensation flickered in his heart, causing him to freeze momentarily.
"What's going on... an illusion? Why am I suddenly feeling tense about this kid?"
"Raiton: Gian."
Kamihane discarded the broken sword hilt and raised his hand high. Lightning swirled around his palm, and a thunderous roar echoed across the land, lighting up the night sky once more.
In the moist air, the conductivity of the lightning was optimized. The electric arcs crackled fiercely, threatening to engulf everyone.
Several quick-reacting Jōnin immediately formed hand seals.
"Fūton: Kairyūdan!"
"Fūton: Daitoppa no Jutsu!"
"Fūton: Shinkūha!"
The lightning flickered and dissipated. This single Lightning Release technique required three Wind Release ninjas to barely withstand it!
"He's an Uchiha, but where does such an exaggerated amount of chakra come from?" Tobirama's brows furrowed as he pondered.
An excellent sensory ninja, he was highly sensitive to a person's chakra amount and chakra intensity.
This brat's chakra wasn't particularly abundant, yet after releasing two large-scale ninjutsu in succession, he remained unruffled and still had energy to spare.
"Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu!"
Kamihane launched an offensive, firing a barrage of flames that vaguely enveloped everyone.
Senju ninjas each employed their means, some releasing Water Release techniques, others dodging swiftly. However, the flames, like touch-sensitive seeds of morning glories, scattered in all directions.
Moreover, under Kamihane's control, the flames seemed to possess a homing function, making it not so easy to completely avoid them. Two unfortunate souls were entangled in the crimson flames, emitting agonizing screams.
The encirclement began to falter. Taking advantage of the lingering mist, Kamihane immediately retreated towards the village entrance.
"Ten no Chatoi" granted him a unique period of invincibility. Whenever his body sustained damage, fell into an abnormal state, consumed excessive chakra, or was at a disadvantage, he would revert his temporal status to the moment before the damage. Thus, both his health and chakra reserves would be refreshed, maintaining peak condition.
From the moment he activated his dōjutsu, a 5-minute timeline commenced.
After the reversion, as long as he wasn't harmed again within the next second, even the 5-minute timeline would refresh. Meeting this condition would keep him invincible.
Suddenly, a whizzing sound came from behind. Kamihane, as if foreseeing it, tilted his head, and a fast-flying kunai grazed his right cheek.
Kamihane's pupils slightly contracted. His powerful dynamic vision allowed him to catch the Flying Thunder God mark etched on the base of the kunai.
In the next instant, Tobirama's figure appeared abruptly beside him, gripping a kunai in reverse, and without hesitation, thrust it fiercely towards Kamihane's neck!
"Hiraishin no Rendan!"
At that instant, Kamihane's lips curved slightly, and from an eerie angle, his hand lashed out, "snap," catching Tobirama's wrist firmly.
"I've been waiting for you, Tobirama-sama!"
Tobirama was inwardly astonished. Kamihane's reaction was alarmingly quick, able to match his speed instantly!
His wrist felt as if gripped by iron pincers, the kunai and his arm alike were trapped as if in quicksand, unable to move an inch.
However, Tobirama swiftly adapted. With one hand forming a seal, a massive surge of water flowed along Kamihane's arm, swiftly enveloping his entire body into a colossal water sphere.
"Suiton: Suirenae no Jutsu!"
Yet it didn't end there. He puffed his cheeks once more. "Suiton: Tensui!"
Three fine water needles pierced through the air, akin to raindrops falling from the sky, instantly penetrating the water sphere, causing ripples.
The water needles moved at an incredible speed, almost invisible within the sphere, subtle yet swift, targeting Kamihane's eyes and forehead.
Right then, Kamihane raised his right hand. Solidified chakra cloaked his entire palm, and with a swift swing, a streak of icy blue light flashed past!
All three water needles shattered simultaneously, and the water sphere split into two halves, like a watermelon sliced by a blade, spilling across the ground.
The blade's gleam was unstoppable. Under Tobirama's startled gaze, his body was torn apart, blood splattered, severed in two.
During the initial Water Release attack, Kamihane had already activated his left eye's "Maōsō," beginning to adapt to Tobirama's Water Release techniques.
Through repeated attacks, the adaptation gradually completed, and the countermeasure derived from the analysis was the stunning appearance of this chakra blade!
His chakra blade could not only adjust its density through output intensity but could also simulate the flow of water, penetrating everywhere while endowing it with formidable cutting capability.
In effect, it seemed similar to an A-Rank medical ninjutsu, "Chakra Scalpel," but the difference was that Kamihane could control the length and sharpness of the chakra blade at will, truly enabling it to slice through water!
Regardless of the water's force or the sharpness of the water needles, the blade's light would sever them all, rendering them ineffective.
It was worth noting that his immunity effect was confined to Tobirama's Water Release techniques, but the countermeasure learned through adaptation was a permanently ingrained skill!
This was his left eye Mangekyō's dōjutsu, "Makora"
Tobirama's body crashed to the ground, "poof," turning into a puff of white smoke.
"Shadow Clone?" Kamihane's brow furrowed slightly.
Not far off, Tobirama stared warily at the youth within the mist. Thankfully, he had used a shadow clone to test the waters, or he would have really been in trouble!
"He broke through the water prison from within! Moreover, my Water Release's effectiveness weakened each time. Could this be the ability of his left eye?" As he analyzed, his brows knitted together.
From the initial three tomoe to the Shunshin no Jutsu, and now this troublesome Mangekyō dōjutsu...
The more they fought, the more alarmed he became, firmly resolving not to let this brat leave alive!
Though only several minutes had passed in combat, the successive large-scale ninjutsu releases had already caused quite a stir, and more and more ninjas were arriving at the scene.
Kamihane slightly lowered his head, avoiding an attack, while simultaneously forming a knife hand. The radiant blue chakra blade sliced through the air with no resistance, plunging into the opponent's abdomen!
"Slash," blood sprayed, the scene was brutally graphic.
The horrifying power even made Kamihane, the wielder, inwardly nervous, and he couldn't help but glance at the chakra blade in his hand.
Solid chakra emanated from his palm, forming a stable and sturdy light blade. The chakra inside surged like water at a speed invisible to the naked eye, quietly forming a closed circuit.
"Learned something good, since it was acquired here, I'll call it..." Kamihane's lips curved upward. "'Tsuyu no Akitsu'!"
"However..." He looked at the growing number of ninjas, "Time is running out, must break through at full strength!"
Meanwhile, Tobirama had completed a preliminary analysis of Kamihane's abilities.
"My proficiency in Water Release Ninjutsu being ineffective does not imply that other ninjutsu will also be ineffective. At the same moment, he should only be able to immunize against one attribute, so..."
His expression was cold and stern, his deep voice echoing throughout the entire area!
"Everyone, do not engage him in close combat, attack him simultaneously with long-range ninjutsu!"
The ninjas accepted the order and quickly distanced themselves. In an instant, Kamihane's pupils reflected countless hand seals.
"Lightning Release: Earth Flow!"
"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"
"Wind Release: Vacuum Great Sphere!"
…
For a moment, wind, fire, thunder, and lightning raged across the sky, and countless ninjutsu poured down like rain. Kamihane's eyes were also illuminated by the light.
"Only one minute left, I can't waste time with them like this!"
His gaze remained calm, "There's no other way, then it can only be..."
"The Third Power, Susanoo!"
A thick plume of black aura projected from his body, as if black flames had ignited, accompanied by a fierce gale. In an instant, a jet-black skeleton took form, exuding a heavy and solid presence with an obsidian-like texture!
Two enormous skeletal hands extended from the black aura, and with just a slight wave, they deflected the majority of the ninjutsu! Then, an deafening and mighty roar erupted, its sonic wave generating a shockwave that dissolved all the ninjutsu completely.
Everyone's eyes widened, all of them shocked by the scene before them. Some even froze in place, their hearts pounding intensely.
The colossal black skeleton enveloped Kamihane completely, like an undead specter emerging from the abyss! Although only its upper body was visible, it still exuded an overwhelmingly domineering aura, as if it could annihilate everything with a mere movement.
"Those who stand in my way, die!"
Kamihane uttered these icy words, blood slowly trickling down his delicate face.
The black aura churned like war banners, and in this moment, he resembled an invincible battle god clad in dark armor, standing tall and unyielding!
