"Kurenai, if we survive this time, marry me!"
Inside the large water sphere, while desperately killing the bloodthirsty sharks with his sharp Wind Release Chakra blades, Asuma gasped for breath and proposed to Kurenai.
He was afraid that if he didn't propose now, he wouldn't have another chance.
At this moment, Kurenai, whose hand was injured during Kisame's attack and couldn't form hand seals, heard Asuma's words, raised her left hand's kunai with effort, and replied:
"I'm afraid we can only get married in hell."
"I knew there was something going on between you two. You wouldn't admit it last time."
The Anko Mitarashi next to them used her last bit of Chakra to cast Hidden Shadow Multiple Snake Hands, killing a few sharks attacking her, and also pulled out the kunai from her Arms.
"Let me send you to your deaths together!"
Seeing that the sharks had basically exhausted the Chakra of the three, Kisame on the other side directly activated his fastest speed, transforming into a sharp arrow in the water and attacking the three.
And this time, the three were no longer able to resist Kisame's fierce attack after transforming into a merman.
"Get lost!"
Just as the three thought they were certain to die, two figures suddenly appeared in front of them. One of them actually kicked Kisame directly in the face, sending him flying out like a cannonball with immense force.
It was Li Chuan who apparitioned in front of the three, carrying the unconscious Deidara.
"Chuan!"
Seeing Li Chuan appear, the despair in the eyes of Asuma and the other two immediately turned into hope.
Because they knew that Li Chuan had defeated Kisame a month ago.
"It's you again. You got away with a sneak attack last time. This time, I will wash away that shame!"
Seeing Li Chuan appear, Kisame's face showed a look of apprehension, but then thinking of the shame from last time, he was instantly filled with rage.
However, Li Chuan was too lazy to pay attention to him. He just said to Asuma and the other two behind him:
"Put your hands on my shoulders, I'll take you out first!"
Upon hearing this, Asuma and the other two immediately each reached out a hand.
"Apparition!"
Li Chuan instantly disappeared with the three, and when they reappeared, they were already outside that huge water sphere.
"You like turning into a fish, huh? Then I'll turn you into an electric grilled fish!"
At this time, the large water sphere was already surrounded by hundreds of Li Chuan's Shadow Clones. Seeing Li Chuan appear with the three, these Shadow Clones immediately formed hand seals and together cast a high-level Lightning Release Ninjutsu towards the large water sphere:
"Lightning Release: Eighteen Hundred Pillar Binding Technique!"
Under the effect of the combined Ninjutsu of Li Chuan's Shadow Clones, eighteen hundred long stone pillars suddenly rose from the ground, surrounding the huge water sphere created by Kisame.
Finally, it directly turned into a giant stone cage.
Subsequently, each stone pillar seemed to be electrified with high voltage, erupting with astonishing lightning that continuously attacked the water sphere in the center of the stone pillars.
Although Lightning Release does not counter Water Release in this World, it still follows the most basic physical law, which is conductivity.
So the result was predictable. All the sharks in the water sphere were instantly electrocuted and disappeared into thin air, and Kisame, who was fused with Samehada, was also forcibly separated from Samehada by the terrifying Lightning Release attack and then knocked unconscious.
With Kisame losing consciousness, the water sphere dissolved into air, and Li Chuan also released the Lightning Release attack.
The reason he defeated Kisame with one blow last time was because he directly opened the Eight Gates. Now, in Konoha, he naturally couldn't open the Eight Gates in front of Asuma and the others, after all, officially, he had not learned the Eight Gates.
And normally, with his body in immortal mode, although he could defeat Kisame who was fused with Samehada, he couldn't achieve such a clean and decisive one-hit kill.
So he recalled all the Shadow Clones that had completed the mission of rescuing civilians and together they performed a lightning-earth composite Ninjutsu he had learned from the Third Hokage during this time, Lightning Release: Four Pillar Binding Technique.
Yes, this Ninjutsu was originally called Lightning Release: Four Pillar Binding Technique. It is a powerful Ninjutsu that combines Lightning Release and Earth Release.
It can only be released by a Ninja who possesses both Lightning Release and Earth Release Chakra natures, or by two Ninjas, one with Earth Release and one with Lightning Release, working together.
Normally, it raises four pillars to surround the enemy and then inflicts lightning damage.
If Jonin cooperate well, they can also upgrade it to Lightning Release: Sixteen Pillar Binding Technique, which covers a larger area and is more difficult to escape from, and the lightning damage is also higher.
And when this technique reached Li Chuan's hands, through continuous training by his Shadow Clones and the powerful Chakra of his main body, it would normally be released as Lightning Release: Thirty-Two Pillar Technique.
If performed in immortal mode, it would be Lightning Release: One Hundred and Eight Pillar Technique.
If performed in immortal mode with a large number of Shadow Clones, like now, it can evolve into the terrifying Lightning Release: Eighteen Hundred Pillar Technique.
Seeing Kisame lying on the ground electrocuted and unconscious from Li Chuan's single blow, his body still instinctively twitching, Asuma and the other two couldn't help but widen their eyes.
They knew Li Chuan was powerful, but they didn't expect him to be this powerful. He only used one Ninjutsu, a Ninjutsu they all recognized and knew, to defeat such a powerful Kisame.
And that reinforced, abnormal version of Lightning Release just now was really a bit too terrifying!
"You guys stay here and recover your Chakra, I'll go rescue the others!"
Quickly treating the external injuries of the three with magic, Li Chuan stepped forward and took Samehada, carrying Deidara with one hand and Kisame with the other, and with the remaining Shadow Clones, he apparitioned directly to the Hyuga clan's compound.
Seeing Li Chuan's disappearing figure, Asuma couldn't help but sigh and say:
"Actually, I think if we choose him to be the Fifth Hokage, it would also be quite reassuring."
Asuma was once one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja, the Daimyo's guard, unlike the Konoha higher-ups who had a prejudice against Li Chuan. After experiencing what just happened, he sincerely felt that Li Chuan would be very reliable as Hokage.
Young, steady, and so powerful, and also possessing powerful medical Ninjutsu abilities.
Kurenai and Anko Mitarashi also nodded in agreement upon hearing this. Without Li Chuan, they would already be dead by now.
On the other side, when Li Chuan teleported to the Hyuga compound with the Shadow Clones, the battle here was also a one-sided crushing victory.
Even with other Ninja from nearby coming to support, relying on the power of the Byakugan, under the leadership of the clan head, Hinata Hizashi, they only managed to break the outermost puppet of Scorpion, Hiruko.
But when Scorpion revealed his puppet body like a young boy and released the Third Kazekage puppet with magnet release ability, it was basically a unilateral slaughter.
One should know that when Scorpion fully unleashed his strength, he was an existence capable of single-handedly slaughtering an entire small country.
When he was fifteen years old, he successfully assassinated the strongest Third Kazekage, who had caused the deaths of both his parents in battle due to battlefield command failure. He then made the Third Kazekage into a human puppet, becoming even more powerful.
After joining the akatsuki, he used the Third Kazekage puppet to slaughter a small country and created over a hundred new Ninja puppets.
Scorpion's strength is beyond the shadow level. Relying on numbers simply cannot contend with him.
