EBE Chapter 770 Kind Heart
Chapter 770 Kind Heart
Faced with the Raikage's "kind" reminder, Zhang Hai couldn't refute it. Because he didn't know Wind Release, he alone couldn't defeat the monstrous Raikage before him.
However, Zhang Hai also noticed the flaw in the Raikage's Restoration Technique. This physical revitalization was undoubtedly a forbidden technique that overdrawn the body's potential. Each restoration weakened the Raikage's body. But his One-Sword Drawing Technique could only achieve this much. The Raikage's steel-like body could withstand at least ten more similar attacks!
Zhang Hai realized with a deep understanding that Lei Ying was his nemesis. Fighting him was like a tiger pulling a tortoise, with no way to get a bite. Moreover, this tortoise was covered in thorns and was exceptionally ferocious.
The only way to defeat the Raikage is through a prolonged battle, dragging it out until his physical regeneration wears off. After all, such a powerful ninjutsu demands a great deal from the body and cannot be used for extended periods. However, the Raikage's booming voice indicated that he hadn't had enough.
On the other hand, Zhang Hai himself, through frequent use of the Mangekyou Sharingan and his full-force swordsmanship, was already nearing his limit.
He quickly analyzed the current situation, his hands instantly forming hand seals as he unleashed "Lightning Release: Shadow Clone Technique, Illusion Blade Technique!"
Among the sword techniques Zhang Hai has mastered, the "Illusionary Sword Technique" is the one that consumes the least energy and deals the most unpredictable damage. He has practiced it meticulously, and when he unleashed it this time, invisible sword energy from all directions, like a tide, relentlessly slashed at Lei Ying's body.
Lei Ying snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Useless effort!" His body was crackling with blue arcs of electricity, like an impenetrable wall, enduring the continuous attacks without being affected in any way.
Meanwhile, Zhang Hai's true form took advantage of Lei Ying's distraction by the Illusion Blade Technique to quietly leave and return to the battlefield.
He looked around and saw that the ninjas from both sides were already locked in fierce combat. Thanks to the Raikage's arrival, the morale of the Cloud Village side had soared, and the previously one-sided situation was gradually becoming evenly matched.
Fugaku and A, the Raikage's son, were locked in fierce combat in the center of the battlefield. Blue lightning and the green light of Susanoo intertwined, creating a dazzling spectacle against the dim battlefield. Fugaku had already awakened his first-stage Susanoo, demonstrating A's formidable strength and placing immense pressure on him.
Meanwhile, Killer Bee was fighting against the members of Zhang Hai's team. The main force was Haku, whose Ice Release ninjutsu greatly affected Killer Bee, allowing him to remain composed in both defense and offense. The freezing effect of the Ice Release restricted Killer Bee's movements, preventing him from fully utilizing the power of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.
Shisui encountered his nemesis in this battle. His illusions were completely ineffective against Killer Bee, and his swordsmanship was clearly no match for Killer Bee's. He could only use his Body Flicker Technique to continuously assist Haku and Yugao, harassing and attacking from the side.
After being trained by Zhang Hai, Xi Yan's swordsmanship improved significantly. She was able to keep up with Killer Bee's pace, her swordsmanship was sharp and precise, and she fought Killer Bee to a standstill, with no clear winner for a short time.
The entire battlefield descended into chaos as ninjas from both sides engaged in the most primitive and brutal fighting, with casualties occurring every second.
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Hai charged towards Killer Bee. His Unintentional Blade traced a graceful arc in the air, carrying a sharp killing intent as it aimed directly at Killer Bee's vitals.
Killer Bee sensed the danger, and the Eight-Tails' tentacles instantly appeared behind him, as tough as steel, accurately blocking Zhang Hai's attack. He spun rapidly in mid-air before landing steadily on the ground.
Seeing this, Zhang Hai did not continue the pursuit. He knew that now was not the time to engage in a prolonged battle with Killer Bee. He ordered his squad members, "Retreat!"
"Yes!" the squad members responded in unison, and began to carry out the order without hesitation.
After resolving the situation with Killer Bee, Zhang Hai instantly rushed towards the battle between Fugaku and A. He realized that although the two seemed evenly matched, Fugaku's Susanoo was a life-or-death fighting style, and once it became a protracted battle, defeat was inevitable.
During the battle, when A saw Zhang Hai suddenly appear on the battlefield, a strong sense of crisis instantly rose in his heart. He vividly remembered the terrifying power of Zhang Hai's previous strike. But he was born with a fighting spirit and never backed down on the battlefield. Like the Third Raikage A, his entire body shone with an even more dazzling blue lightning armor, his hair standing on end, clearly intending to fight to the death.
Zhang Hai inwardly called Ai a "fool," and he had no intention of getting entangled with him. Upon arriving, he immediately formed hand seals and unleashed "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
A massive burst of flames struck instantly, startling Ai, who thought Zhang Hai had missed.
Flames struck the ground beside A, kicking up a huge cloud of dust that instantly blocked Fugaku and A's view. Taking advantage of the moment, Zhang Hai approached Fugaku and said in a low voice, "Order a retreat. I can't hold out the Raikage for long; he'll realize something's wrong soon enough."
Having gained a respite, Fugaku immediately released Susanoo. His pupils, stained with excessive use of the Mangekyou Sharingan, had returned to their normal black. He nodded heavily and loudly ordered, "Konoha ninja, retreat!"
Upon receiving the order, the Konoha ninjas began their retreat without hesitation. They systematically triggered the traps they had laid along the trenches they had built on their way in, thus preventing pursuit by the Kumogakure.
Meanwhile, the Raikage, trapped within the Dark Walk Technique, sensed something was amiss. The attacks he felt were growing weaker and weaker. Initially, the sword techniques posed a threat, but later, although they were dense and concealed, they were merely tickling and posed no real threat whatsoever.
The Raikage sensed the attacks in the darkness growing weaker and weaker, and the chakra fluctuations of the shadow clones almost disappeared. He suddenly realized that the Konoha Anbu had escaped!
"Damn it!" Raikage roared, his chakra exploding as he unleashed his self-developed "Black Lightning"! Leopard-shaped black lightning bolts shot from his body, spreading outwards at astonishing speed, instantly shattering all of Zhang Hai's Lightning Release shadow clones. With a "whoosh," the Dark Travel Technique dissipated, and light returned to the battlefield.
The Raikage reappeared on the battlefield, his Lightning Release Armor still flashing with dazzling blue lightning, but his tiger eyes were filled with anger and a hint of confusion.
Raikage's son, A, rushed over, panting, and asked, "Father, should we pursue those fleeing Konoha ninja?!"
The Raikage watched the departing Konoha ninja with piercing eyes. After a moment's hesitation, he shook his head and said in a deep voice, "No need. We didn't gain any advantage in this battle. We already know our opponent's abilities, so we should formulate a plan for the next battle. Now is not the time for a decisive battle."
