Chapter 69: Art is an Explosion
"Whoosh!"
In the thick mist, Mangetsu Hozuki never expected that Koshino had already used wind perception, combined with mental energy sensing, to detect the trajectory of his water clones' attack the moment they struck.
Moreover, just as Mangetsu's water clones appeared, Koshino, with a cold sneer, unleashed the unique technique of the Fourth Hokage!
The teleportation jutsu that earned the Fourth Hokage the title of the Yellow Flash!
Wind Body Flicker Technique!
Then, in the instant Mangetsu's water clones attacked, Koshino didn't form any seals, nor did he pause for even a moment.
Suddenly, Koshino's figure seemed to vanish into thin air from Mangetsu's perception, leaving the Mist Village Jonin momentarily stunned and secretly shocked at how Koshino's speed could increase to such a terrifying level in an instant.
It was completely beyond reason!
And Mangetsu could never have imagined that the Fourth Hokage's teleportation jutsu was an unreasonable secret technique!
Otherwise, how could the Fourth Hokage's fame have spread during the Third Great Ninja War? How could the title of the Yellow Flash strike fear into countless ninjas from various villages?
Almost as soon as Koshino unleashed his chakra and completed the wind nature transformation within his body, using the Fourth Hokage's secret Wind Body Flicker Technique, Koshino's first sensation was that he had merged with the "wind."
With chakra control, he became the "wind," and the "wind" became him, allowing him to vanish in a flash before Mangetsu's water clones.
Koshino's sudden disappearance clearly left Mangetsu's main body slightly stunned and shocked, let alone his water clones.
But without giving those water clones more time to hesitate, Koshino, locking onto all of Mangetsu's water clones with wind perception, suddenly reappeared in front of them with a kunai in hand!
The kunai in his hand slowly sliced through the throats of several water clones, followed by several "puff" sounds!
Those water clones, created by Mangetsu at the cost of chakra, turned into puddles of water, each falling beside where Koshino reappeared.
However, seeing Koshino reappear, Mangetsu didn't hesitate for a moment.
With Koshino revealing more and more of his trump cards, despite having the Jonin strength to crush Koshino, Mangetsu felt a bit of pressure during their confrontation due to Koshino's outstanding performance.
So, taking advantage of the moment when Koshino finished using Wind Body Flicker Technique and eliminated several water clones, Mangetsu's figure, hidden in the thick mist, suddenly appeared behind Koshino.
Who would have thought that Mangetsu's appearance would just make a faint, elusive smile appear on Koshino's face?
"Finally not using little tricks anymore?"
"Mangetsu Hozuki! Take this!"
Suddenly appearing behind Koshino, Mangetsu's plan was well-calculated, aiming to launch a new round of sneak attacks while Koshino was busy taking down the water clones.
However, Koshino, with his wind nature chakra at its peak, was constantly using wind perception to sense his surroundings.
Even if Mangetsu's Silent Killing Technique was executed perfectly, as long as he moved,
there would be slight disturbances in the surrounding "wind," an unbreakable law of nature for ordinary people!
And the true terror of Koshino's wind perception lay precisely here!
When using wind perception, as long as Koshino had enough chakra, he became the "wind," and the "wind" became him!
Anything the "wind" could sense was entirely within Koshino's perception!
So, the moment Mangetsu appeared, Koshino once again unleashed chakra at his feet, using the Fourth Hokage's secret Wind Body Flicker Technique.
In an instant, Koshino's figure vanished from the original spot, and with a "whoosh," he reappeared behind Mangetsu, his empty left hand manifesting a dazzling azure chakra!
"Rasengan!"
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
The azure chakra instantly formed a sphere! At this moment, Koshino wasn't just imitating the Fourth Hokage in terms of teleportation but was also completely simulating the Fourth Hokage's combat style!
In the ninja world, what was the Fourth Hokage's signature? One was high-speed movement, achieving the fame of the Yellow Flash with Wind Body Flicker Technique!
The other was the non-seal jutsu Koshino was now using, the A-rank difficulty Rasengan!
With the combination of Wind Body Flicker Technique and Rasengan, during Koshino's brief burst period, he nearly perfectly mimicked the Fourth Hokage's combat style.
It's not an exaggeration to say that when Koshino unleashed his half-step Jonin strength, using the combination of Wind Body Flicker Technique and Rasengan, even ordinary Jonin would fall to Koshino's hands!
Perhaps it wasn't Koshino's own strength, but rather the strength he displayed by borrowing the legendary reputation of the Fourth Hokage.
But so what?
Not everyone can imitate the Fourth Hokage!
And certainly not everyone can mimic the Fourth Hokage's combat style as well as Koshino does!
In the next moment, standing on the shoulders of that giant, Koshino first used the Wind Body Flicker Technique to successfully evade Mangetsu Hozuki's attack.
Then, holding a Rasengan at point-blank range, he thrust it directly onto Mangetsu's chest. With a confident smile, Koshino was almost certain that Mangetsu would be defeated by the terrifying power contained in the Rasengan.
However, just as Koshino was smiling confidently, believing Mangetsu was surely defeated, Mangetsu's laughter suddenly reached Koshino's ears!
"Hahahaha!"
"Did you really think your seal-less jutsu hit me?"
"You're underestimating me, Mangetsu Hozuki!"
"Water Style! Water Prison Jutsu!"
"Boom!"
Hearing Mangetsu's arrogant laughter, Koshino's heart sank to the bottom.
Especially when Mangetsu formed seals to use the Water Style jutsu, and as his voice echoed, Koshino found himself trapped in the Water Prison, unable to breathe.
When Koshino opened his eyes, he saw that at such close proximity, in the thick mist, Mangetsu had used the "Hydrification Technique" to turn his chest into liquid, scattering it to evade the Rasengan he was so confident in. Koshino's pupils revealed a hint of shock!
"The Hydrification Technique?"
"The secret technique of the Hozuki Clan?"
"That's right, it's the secret technique of the Hozuki Clan!"
Facing Koshino's shocked gaze, Mangetsu smiled confidently and said, "Kid, your performance really surprised me. Especially after you broke through in a life-and-death crisis, you even gained a power that vaguely threatened me. Truly surprising."
"Unfortunately, your combat experience is still lacking. Everyone knows my name is Mangetsu Hozuki, so why didn't you guard against my clan's secret technique?"
"As a loser, use your life to understand the consequences of failure!"
"Kid, die!"
"Swish!"
As soon as Mangetsu finished speaking, his tightly gripped katana pierced forward, instantly penetrating Koshino's chest.
However, just as Mangetsu was smugly stabbing his katana into Koshino's chest, seeing the blood flowing from Koshino's body dyeing the water in the Water Prison red, Koshino,
with a pale face, coldly uttered a sentence that suddenly turned the tables, dragging Mangetsu, who was just a step away from heaven, down into hell!
"I knew you were from the Hozuki Clan all along. Did you really think I wasn't prepared?"
"When using the Water Prison Jutsu, you can't move, can you?"
"So the one who loses is you, Mangetsu Hozuki!"
"Art is an explosion!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
As Koshino finished speaking, under Mangetsu's shocked gaze, the situation suddenly reversed!
Especially as the "sizzle" sound reached Mangetsu's ears, he saw the explosive tags attached to his ankles, and the terrifying explosion soared into the sky!
