Chapter 138: Breaking the Formation! Sword Technique: Hurricane Water Vortex Flame Wind Dragon Dance!
Wind Release: Rasengan and Water Release: Wild Water Wave share the characteristic of being extremely intense and having undergone nature transformation.
Therefore, when these two techniques are combined, they can form a violently spinning water tornado to resist powerful attacks.
Tsukasa's Water Release: Water Fang Blade and Wind Release: Vacuum Blade were similar, both being extremely intense in form.
Water Fang Blade was a swirling water blade, while Vacuum Blade was wrapped with incomparably sharp wind.
Furthermore, he had already mastered the nature transformation of water attribute in the Land of Hot Water, and what he lacked now was only the nature transformation of wind attribute.
Tsukasa stared intently at the night sky, where twelve wind spheres shot toward him!
The wind howled, stirring up billowing dust, and the compressed wind blades within gleamed with a chilling light under the moonlight.
If he couldn't deal with this, under this relentless onslaught, he would only be futilely charging forward until death.
Since dying was inevitable whether he charged or not, he had no choice but to gamble!
Tsukasa stood firm, took a deep breath, and stared intently at the wind spheres shooting down from the night sky.
He dispersed the flames on the Kusanagi sword in his hand and formed hand seals.
As the final seal was completed, he fiercely raised the Kusanagi sword, channeling the chakra in his right hand into this divine weapon capable of perfectly conducting chakra.
In an instant, a bright blue water fang blade swirled on the Kusanagi sword. As the water blade spun rapidly, it immediately emitted a chilling screech.
Then wisps of sharp wind rose from his left hand, gradually filling the sword.
Visibly, the water fang blade suddenly expanded, as if it would disintegrate and explode at any moment.
The fusion of the two techniques was incredibly difficult.
If it weren't for Tsukasa's Sharingan, which allowed him to precisely observe the rapidly escalating chakra flow, and his mastery of both techniques, an explosion would have occurred on the spot!
"Just a little bit more..."
Tsukasa stared intently at the Kusanagi sword in his hand, veins bulging and trembling slightly on his arms as he struggled to control the two distinct streams of chakra within the blade.
The Kusanagi sword, which he usually wielded with effortless ease, now felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.
"Where did things go wrong? Why won't they fuse together?!"
As the Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere hurtled down with a sharp, piercing sound, Tsukasa gritted his teeth, looked up at the attacks suddenly shooting toward him from the sky, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Then he roared angrily:
"Never mind! Let it be like this—start spinning!"
"Come out!"
Tsukasa suddenly raised the almost-exploding sword in his hand, pointing it at the sky.
Then he stomped on the ground, twisted the hilt of the sword, and frantically poured his own chakra into it. He didn't care whether it actually merged perfectly or not—he just wanted it to move, to spin, and spin some more, spinning wildly!
Water and wind intertwined and clashed in the rotation, merging into a single point, reaching their peak!
Finally—
"Ninja Art: Hurricane Water Vortex Blade!"
A blue light shot out from the sword tip, piercing straight into the sky!
Then, centered on this line, a massive blue water tornado exploded!
Like a blooming flower, white wind blades and blue water blades, resembling petals, swirled wildly around the main column!
Bright blue and white light illuminated the earth, turning the desert into daylight for a moment!
Then this waterspout crashed headlong into the incoming wind spheres!
Tsukasa's eyes widened, his hands gripping the sword hilt tightly. He lunged forward, twisting his waist, forcefully manipulating the sword and the wildly swirling, enormous spiral of water.
With his swing, this combination technique instantly unleashed power far beyond the reach of ordinary ninjutsu!
The entire waterspout danced wildly in the wind, swirling madly!
It swallowed and shredded twelve wind spheres in one gulp, transforming them into its own power, making its rotation even more violent and powerful!
Then Tsukasa's face contorted with effort, his teeth clenched, his body stretched to its limit. He frantically pulled the Kusanagi sword back, dragging it behind his waist, and slammed the waterspout downward!
BOOM!
The waterspout slammed into the ground, instantly crushing it into dust and sending up a cloud of sand!
Like a wind god from mythology controlling storms, Tsukasa used the immense thrust of his technique to leap high into the air!
The sword seemed to become a rocket booster, the violent wind force propelling him straight up a hundred meters into the sky, like a shooting star defying the heavens.
Tsukasa—he actually launched himself!
In a flash, the boy had covered over fifty meters, arriving above the core ranks of Sunagakure!
Below, the Sunagakure ninja stared in disbelief at the boy descending from the sky, a chill running down their spines.
"What the hell is that?!"
"So fast!"
"Damn it! How can that kid fly?!"
"Commander, he's too fast—we can't aim at him!"
"What's he going to do?!"
Amidst the stunned gazes of the Sunagakure ninja, Tsukasa, having leaped into the air and dispersed the hurricane-like water vortex, grinned menacingly and laughed:
"Weren't you having fun shooting at me just now?!"
"Now—it's my turn!"
His eyes flashed with fury as he raised the Kusanagi sword high, one arm instantly bursting into flames, its light so dazzling it resembled a miniature sun!
In an instant!
Fire Release: Chakra Mode, Zero-Tails: Dark Chakra Mode, Forbidden Technique: Body Modification, and his regeneration were all activated!
Tsukasa swung his sword down, aiming at Sunagakure's position!
He opened his mouth and released a Wind Release technique, making the flames even more ferocious, coating the burning sword!
Then the dazzling longsword, so bright it was impossible to look directly at, burst forth with terrifying flames!
Below, the Sunagakure commander's eyes widened, and he shouted urgently:
"Not good—that kid's going to use that move again!"
"Quick! Use Wind Release: Super Great Sickle Weasel Technique together to blow him away!"
The Sunagakure members stared in horror at the suddenly rising sun in the sky, immediately beginning to form hand seals.
However—
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Tsukasa looked down with disdain and laughed wildly:
"Too late!"
"Moreover, I am completely different from before!"
He pointed the blazing Kusanagi sword at Sunagakure's position below, gritted his teeth, and channeled all his chakra into this one sword strike!
Then Tsukasa's eyes widened, and he roared:
"Take this!"
"Sword Technique: Flame Wind Dragon Dance!"
In the next instant, fueled by the storm, the raging flames perfectly replicated the combined ninjutsu Kakuzu had used against him before!
Unlike the slow, deliberate process of constructing the Flowing Flame Greatsword, a lifelike fire dragon instantly spewed forth from the Kusanagi Sword!
Wind for scales, wire for sinews, and the flowing flames of Fire Release: Chakra Mode for bones!
Almost instantly, the fire dragon swelled to a massive body nearly fifty meters long, circling once in mid-air.
Its eyes shone with two beams of light as bright as the sun, mercilessly surveying the masses below.
The next moment, it roared forth!
Plunging toward the ground!
Below, the Sunagakure forces stared blankly up at the fire dragon that seemed to have flown out of legend, their hand seals slowing down by half a beat—
As if they could see the Sage of Six Paths himself smiling and beckoning to them!
