Chapter 278 Take Advantage of His Weakness
When Kisame and others saw that Kaito was seriously injured, they immediately rushed over to provide support.
However, Kaito, who was flying in the air, slowly landed again and spoke out to stop the actions of Kisame and others.
"Kisame, go back!"
"You go deal with those Anbu and be alert to possible enemies in the dark. Leave these two to me!"
Kaito looked calmly at the silent Third Mizukage and Yagura, and stood firmly on the ground.
He retracted the flaming wings behind him, put the Shinsō in his hand back into the scabbard, and then Kaito held his left arm with his right hand and bent it hard.
With a "click".
The left arm was repositioned, and the injuries on the body also recovered quickly under the effect of 'roost'.
"I'm sorry, I was careless before."
Kaito suddenly spoke to Yagura in a serious tone, which made everyone present a little confused for a moment.
But in fact, Kaito was more reminding himself. At this time, he had already realized his previous mistakes.
Originally, in Kaito's impression, the Kage-level masters of ninjutsu like the Third Mizukage and Yagura should be the weakest among the Kage-level masters.
He had fought against combinations like the Fourth Generation Ai and Killer Bee before. Even if he couldn't easily defeat these two, with his speed and White Style, he could at least fight them on equal terms.
From the beginning to the end, Kaito was worried about Uchiha Madara who might be in the dark, so he didn't dare to go all out.
However, it seems now that he was really a little arrogant.
When dealing with guys like the Fourth Generation Ai and Killer Bee who are known for their speed and strength, as long as his speed can crush the opponent, he can win the battle.
However, ninjas like the Third Mizukage and Yagura were able to rely on their rich combat experience and sense of timing to put themselves at a temporary advantage.
'No wonder these two were able to fight back and forth with the two generations of Raikage on the battlefield before.'
'But there is still something to fight for!'
After figuring out all of this, Kaito pointed his thumb to his chest without saying anything.
'Double the chakra, open!'
'Double your reflexes, go!'
A violent aura surged around his body, causing the white flames on Kaito's body to crackle.
This action also ignited the battlefield that had just been quiet due to the explosion of the ice dragon.
Kaito, who was in full swing again, still targeted Yagura. As soon as he started moving, he increased his speed to the extreme, leaving several afterimages behind him as he rushed towards Yagura.
Facing several kunai thrown by Yagura who wanted to block him, Kaito easily dodged them with a simple 'Z' movement.
At this moment, due to the explosion of the ice armor caused by the previous self-explosion, Kaito's speed has also increased.
However, the attack still failed.
With a "pop".
The 'Yagura' in front of him once again turned into shattered ice crystals on the ground.
'Another water clone!'
The frequent and hidden water clones of Yagura also caused Kaito to not dare to use a move like "Absolute Zero" that consumes too much energy easily.
On the other side, with the help of the gap created by Yagura, the Third Mizukage also completed the hand seal and slapped the ground with both hands.
"Water Style: Explosive Sea Flow"
As the Third Mizukage performed his ninjutsu, the ground began to shake violently, and countless huge water whips, as thick as the previous water dragons, broke out from the ground, like twisted vines of giant trees, and wildly whipped the area where Kaito was.
Water splashed and dust flew.
The Third Mizukage created this natural disaster-like scene with just this one ninjutsu.
'Oh my god! Deep Forest Emergence Water Style Version!'
Kaito didn't expect that the old guy had such a trick up his sleeve.
However, this type of attack with a large interval is precisely the kind that Kaito is least afraid of right now.
With his doubled nerve reflexes and the hint of Anticipation, Kaito deftly maneuvered between the constantly beating water currents and always felt at ease.
However, when Kaito looked around while dodging the attack, he could not see the figure of Yagura.
'Where is this bastard hiding?'
Kaito had always targeted Yagura, mainly thinking of killing him first, and then when he faced the Third Mizukage alone, maybe he could hold back and save the old guy.
After all, the Third Mizukage and Yagura fell out with each other, and he was somewhat to blame.
However, Yagura obviously also realized Kaito's thoughts and actually played hide-and-seek with him.
Time was limited, and since he couldn't find Yagura, Kaito couldn't just keep wasting time like this, so he simply jumped onto a thick water whip and rushed along the water towards the Third Mizukage who was maintaining his ninjutsu.
Wherever Kaito passed, the giant water whips he stepped on were directly frozen into ice by the white flames under his feet, causing the Third Mizukage's ninjutsu to be temporarily slowed down, and he had to mobilize more water whips to encircle Kaito.
Seeing that the gap ahead was getting smaller and smaller, Kaito simply formed seals with both hands and launched a ninjutsu.
"White Style: Powder Snow"
Ice-cold air was exhaled from Kaito's mouth. Wherever the cold wind passed, the dancing water whips immediately slowed down, and in an instant they were all frozen into tangled twisted icicles.
If the Third Mizukage had not cast the Water Formation Wall at the critical moment, raised an 'ice wall' and dodged it, he would probably have been frozen directly by the Powder Snow.
However, Kaito refused to give in. He quickly drew out his Shinsō and pressed it down, with the tip of the blade pointing directly at the Third Mizukage.
"Shoot him!!"
A streak of white flashed by, and the blade of the Shinsō instantly crossed a distance of nearly thirty meters, passing through the tiny gap between the twisted ice pillars in front of it, and shot directly into the face of the Third Mizukage.
At the critical moment, the Third Mizukage once again used his unrivaled water-style defensive ninjutsu 'Water Style: Water Flow Round Shield'.
A spiral water shield appeared out of thin air in front of him. Although it failed to block the piercing of the Shinsō, it slightly changed the attack trajectory.
The blade light directly pierced through the Third Mizukage's shoulder and still extended nearly ten meters.
However, before Kaito could make any move, the water shield that was still spinning at high speed actually pushed the extremely sharp blade and cut the shoulder of the Third Mizukage.
However, this action also allowed the Third Mizukage to break free from the shackles of the sword.
The Third Mizukage, whose shoulder was half cut, showed no change in expression. He stretched out his intact right arm and opened his palm again, aiming at Kaito.
Sensing the water whip breaking out of the ground under his feet.
Without the 'frozen skin' and ice armor, Kaito was even less prepared to withstand the attack this time.
The white wings spread out again and rushed directly into the air.
Dozens of water whips under his feet followed Kaito's figure and rushed towards the sky, but in the end they could only break apart powerlessly due to the lack of height.
Of course, Kaito was not planning to run away just like that.
He wants to take advantage of his weakness to kill him (crossed out), to make him lose!
