Chapter 187 Earthly Resentment: Final Shooting!
"Thunder Escape. Pseudo Darkness!"

Along with this sound, there was also the sound of electricity surging.

Zira!

Lightning bolts as thick as fingers cut through the earth with unstoppable force.

And Koji Yamama was right among them.

Caught off guard, he could only half-crouch and put his hands in front of his head so that he could use the least amount of area to withstand the attack.

When the lightning grid swept through.

There were scars of varying depths on the power armor.

In particular, the left arm was pierced, leaving a wound that continued to bleed.

The power of the ninjutsu used by Kage-level masters is extremely exaggerated, not to mention the lightning escape technique with the strongest piercing power. This amount of damage alone is already a miracle for the powered armor's defense.

The injury looks terrible, but it is actually not too serious.

This can be seen from the fact that Hinata Cangyue, who was observing in secret, did not make any movement.

If she really thought that Yamama Koji would be in danger, she would not care about martial ethics and would just rush out and attack him.

But even if she didn't take action, she saw a very interesting situation through her Samsara Eye.

"That is…?"

Her gaze lingered on the other person's body, which was sewn together with countless black threads, and the masks.

One of the blue masks had been broken, and the other had just been broken into several pieces, and was now glued together by those living black threads.

However, there are all kinds of strange things in the ninja world, even monsters from other worlds like Wuliang, so Hinata Cangyue did not rush to take action, but continued to watch the battle.

On the battlefield!
"Open the rest gate and life gate!"

After being injured, Koji Yamama opened the second and third gates of the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu one after another.

call!
A green light enveloped his body, even blowing away some of the loose soil around him.

People are different!
The Eight Gates Ninjutsu is a forbidden technique that is extremely sensitive to the individual.

The stronger your physical qualities, the greater the improvement you will get after opening the 'door'.

That is why you need to practice and accumulate in daily life and burst out at the critical moment. The power depends on your usual accumulation.

Koji Yamama, who had undergone the 'Stairway to Divinity' surgery, far surpassed normal ninjas in terms of physical fitness. In addition, his perseverance was equally terrifying, so he was naturally able to open the third gate.

During the future Chunin Exam of Prince Naruto.

If Xiao Li, who is only 13 years old, can do it, there is no reason why Yamama Koji, who is older, has stronger physical talents and is equally strong in will, can't do it?

In other words, the time he spent obtaining the Eight Gates was too short, otherwise he would be able to open more gates, let alone three.

In the three-door state, Koji Yamama's combat effectiveness has been qualitatively improved.

Seeing this change, Kakuzu naturally went all out. He quickly formed seals with his hands, and the two masks that had climbed to his shoulders opened their mouths.

"Wind escape. Pressure!"

"Fire escape, hard on the head!"

The two B-level ninjutsu were performed at the same time, their power complementing each other, and instantly a large-scale flame comparable to a landslide was set off, which quickly pressed towards Yamama Koji.

Combination Ninjutsu!

It refers to utilizing different ninjutsu to achieve greater effects. If successfully performed, it can often produce an effect of 1+1 being greater than 2.

Faced with such a terrifying combination of ninjutsu, ordinary ninjas naturally have nowhere to escape and can only take it head-on.

But Yamama Koji has another choice.

Bend your legs slightly to build up strength.

Fierce, fierce!

A large amount of flames gushed out from the nozzle of the backpack behind him.

boom!
Then he suddenly jumped up with his legs, and swooped down towards Kakuzu on the ground in front of him like an eagle.

But his choice made Hinata Cangyue, who was hiding and watching the battle on the side, take action.

She suddenly stepped forward and rushed toward the battlefield.

The reason is also very simple.

Because the three masks on Kakuzu's body were gathered on his right arm, emitting a terrifying light, it was obvious that he was brewing a terrible move.

It's easier to dodge ranged attacks while on the ground.

But after jumping into the air, he was completely treated as a target.

Therefore, the combination of ninjutsu just now was clearly intended to induce Yamama Koji to jump into the air on his own initiative.

All I can say is that Kakuzu is stronger in terms of combat experience, and all these years have not been in vain.

"Go to hell, kid!"

"Earthly Resentment: Final Shot!"

Kakuzu delivered his strongest attack.

As long as he could hit the target, he was confident that he could severely injure or even kill the opponent. The dazzling light illuminated the night sky, and the huge beam of light stabbed at Yamama Koji in the air like a spear.

Even if the latter tried his best to dodge, this chakra bombardment was much faster than he flew, and he was about to be submerged.

"All things are attracted by heaven!"

A mysterious voice sounded from the woods on the side.

Under the terrifying suction force, Yamama Koji's body in mid-air suddenly moved sideways against the law and avoided the fatal blow.

From beginning to end, Koji Yamama was not at all panicked because he believed that someone would help him out.

Others didn't know, but he was certainly aware that in his own Team 404, he was nominally ranked second in strength, but the real second was someone else, so he was not surprised to be rescued, but just a little ashamed.

Even though he had power armor, he was defeated by this mysterious and unknown enemy.

Bah!
After his body flew across the sea of ​​fire, the powerful gravitational force suddenly disappeared, causing Yamama Koji to fall from the air.

As soon as he landed, he was about to attack again, but found that the target was gone.

"??"

He turned his head and looked around, but found nothing, so he could only look towards the woods on the side.

The one who walked out slowly was naturally Hinata Cangyue who had already taken off his disguise.

"The person has already escaped, it's hard to catch up!"

Hinata Cangyue did not expect that the other party would be so decisive.

After discovering that the chakra cannon had missed its target, he ran away without looking back, leaving her no time to chase him.

How cunning!

Faced with this slippery guy, she lost her temper.

Although he could fly, his flying speed could not match the opponent's teleportation technique. If he were to use teleportation technique, he didn't know how long it would take to catch up with the opponent.

So I can only give up.

After all, the goal this time is not to kill these bounty ninjas, but to protect the convoy. It would be troublesome if something unexpected happened during the pursuit.

"...!"

Koji Yamama did not show any dissatisfaction or blame.

He was extremely grateful that he was able to save his life at the critical moment, and he would settle the revenge for the defeat himself later.

Once he gets more familiar with the power armor, he will be confident of winning.

I have only had the power armor for a few days now, and its capabilities have not yet been fully utilized, so there is huge room for improvement.

Not to mention, he had only opened the third gate of the Eight Gates.

Unlimited potential!

So Koji Yamama is not worried at all that he will not be able to defeat the opponent next time.

And after today's battle, he also understood his own strength.

If you go all out, you can reach the shadow level.

However, if you encounter a restrained type, you can use it as a shadow level, and it has stronger survivability.

While thinking about this, they began to clean up the battlefield.

"Damn it!"

Hinata Cangyue's dissatisfied voice sounded.

It’s not about Koji Yamama, but the bodies of the ninjas who were killed before were burned to ashes by the opponent’s several large-scale fire escape techniques.

And many of these corpses have bounties on their heads.

Being able to touch the other person's belongings first and then get the reward in the end is double the joy.

But now?

Everything is gone, how can Hinata Cangyue be happy?

Her extraordinary organ needed a huge investment at that time. Now that a large amount of income was gone, she naturally regretted it.

After seeing the actual combat performance of the power armor, she was even more looking forward to her own extraordinary organs.

Koji Yamama silently sped up the cleaning.

As for the injuries on his body, they were a minor problem considering his terrifying recovery ability. The bleeding had stopped naturally at this point, and he could recover quickly even without any healing potions.

The trouble is the power armor!

A large amount of nutrient solution is needed to nourish and repair.

The damage caused by that dark lightning attack was beyond imagination.

Of course, it was also because of the power armor that Koji Yamama was able to survive, otherwise he would have been chopped into pieces by that lightning escape.

Do you really think that Kakuzu, who is at the level of Hokage, can "blow it up" like the Third Hokage did?

However, detailed information about the attack on the convoy was still sent out after the battle.
