Chapter 74: About to End
The Third Mizukage Ice and Elder Haruame, who were rushing towards Outpost Number 6 at full speed, suddenly saw a huge oval water ball in the distance ahead of them.
Ice's senses continuously extended forward, first sensing the faint Chakra signatures of the injured members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and then clearly sensing Kiyoshi's and the Six-Tails' Chakra inside the water ball.
Ice's expression changed, and he felt some worry in his heart. "Elder Haruame, I'll go ahead! After you arrive, first go heal the injured. Please be sure to save them!" After saying this, Ice pushed his speed to the limit and hurried towards the battlefield of Kiyoshi and the Six-Tails.
-----------------
Although the Six-Tails was a tailed beast formed from a Chakra aggregate, it still possessed some of the slug's natural instincts. Although it wasn't necessarily afraid of Water Release, it did indeed dislike the water-filled environment created by the Great Exploding Water Wave. Therefore, the Six-Tails subconsciously used Leech Prison again, covering its body surface with a strong acid solution, continuously corroding and evaporating the surrounding water, wanting to escape the Great Exploding Water Wave.
Seeing that he had successfully trapped the Six-Tails, Kiyoshi no longer hesitated. Samehada's blade began to continuously wrap around his body.
"Great Sword Ninjutsu: Samehada Fusion!"
Kiyoshi completely merged with Samehada, transforming into a rather ugly and very ferocious merman with a tail.
"Water Release: Water Prison Shark Dance Technique!!!"
Kiyoshi moved at high speed in the water like lightning. His body, fused with Samehada, perfectly blended with the water flow, making his movements in the water exceptionally light, almost without any resistance. Although his appearance had changed, his strength had greatly increased.
(Kiyoshi: I've become ugly, but I've also become stronger! Sideways glance smile.jpg)
At this time, the Six-Tails was trying its best to escape this watery area, but its speed in the water was obviously affected, becoming slow. And how could Kiyoshi easily let it have its way?
The giant water prison formed by the Great Exploding Water Wave was centered on Kiyoshi unless he actively controlled it. The Six-Tails' speed in the water was far inferior to Kiyoshi's. Once the Six-Tails tried to escape, Kiyoshi could quickly pursue it.
Soon, Kiyoshi caught up with the Six-Tails, which was trying to escape, and relentlessly launched a series of dense offensives against it, not giving the Six-Tails any chance to escape.
Although the Six-Tails' body surface was covered with a highly corrosive strong acid solution, every one of Kiyoshi's attacks was an exchange of injuries. However, don't forget that Samehada possessed the ability to heal injuries and absorb Chakra. When Kiyoshi merged with Samehada, he naturally inherited these abilities as well.
Every attack of Kiyoshi, besides causing some minor wounds to the Six-Tails, would also take away a portion of its Chakra, and the absorbed Chakra was then used to heal his injuries.
What Kiyoshi didn't know was that the Six-Tails' Chakra absorbed into his body was continuously merging into his body while he focused all his energy on the battle, quietly and gradually strengthening his bloodline.
What Kiyoshi was even more unaware of was that within his body, under the influence of the Ōtsutsuki bloodline, a small portion of the Six-Tails' Chakra fused with his original Chakra, producing a unique Chakra. This special Chakra was quietly flowing towards his head, or more precisely, towards the meridians around his eyes.
The opportunity for opening his eyes that Kiyoshi had waited for many years had finally arrived!!!
Within the large water prison created by Kiyoshi, the Six-Tails' Chakra was continuously weakened, while Kiyoshi became more and more courageous as he fought, unleashing attacks (scraping) wildly all over the Six-Tails' body.
Suddenly, a very strong Chakra signal intruded into Kiyoshi's senses. After carefully distinguishing it, Kiyoshi was very familiar with the newcomer's Chakra aura. It was the Third Mizukage Ice.
Sensing Ice's continuous approach, Kiyoshi slowly reduced his attack rhythm, gradually slowing down his offensive. He knew his mission was over.
Ice, who had arrived at full speed, ignored the others who were observing from the distant edge due to injuries or exhaustion, and rushed directly towards Kiyoshi and the Six-Tails' location.
Although he had already sensed the battle situation between Kiyoshi and the Six-Tails through his senses, it wasn't until Ice personally saw Kiyoshi pressing the attack against the Six-Tails in the water ball that his constantly worried heart finally settled down.
Indeed, facts proved that his decision to form the special unit of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen back then was correct. Although everyone else was injured now, with only Kiyoshi still fighting, the others must have gone through a fierce battle and played a certain role.
It had to be known that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were in a stage of rapid growth in strength and were far from reaching the peak of their abilities.
When he sent them to carry out this mission, Ice had even prepared himself for the possibility of losing members from the newly formed elite unit. The current Hidden Mist Village really couldn't produce powerful combat power sufficient to contend with tailed beasts. Facing tailed beasts, if it weren't for Kiyoshi and the others, they could only use numbers to resist.
It was conceivable that if they were given enough time to improve their strength, the Hidden Mist would directly take off!
Ice seemed to have already foreseen that a few years later, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, under Kiyoshi's leadership, would gallop across the battlefield, invincible and slaughtering enemies everywhere!
