Chapter 71: Battle against Magnet Release Troy, God Moon's Divine Speed!
"You guys actually teamed up?"
"What exactly is going on?"
Chloe and Troy were both surprised to see Kamizuki standing side by side with Orochimaru.
After all, they had previously learned from whispers and vague intelligence within Konoha that Kamizuki had fought Orochimaru and defeated him.
How come in the blink of an eye, these two not only have no enmity, but seem to have joined forces and appeared in front of them together?
They stared at Shingetsu and Orochimaru in astonishment, racking their brains but unable to figure out what was going on.
Was Konoha deliberately spreading false information to mislead them?
Or was Orochimaru feigning defeat while harboring ulterior motives? Or does this Uchiha brat truly possess some special means to win over a dangerous figure like Orochimaru?
"Hmph, all of this is none of your business. All you need to know is that after tonight, none of you will exist in this world!" Shen Yue had no intention of answering their questions.
His blood-red Sharingan appeared even more eerie under the dim light of the Four Purple Flame Array. His gaze first lingered briefly on Chloe before finally locking onto the taciturn Troy, who carried a peculiar ninja tool.
He curled his lips slightly, looking at Troy as if he were looking at prey: "Today, I will take in the Magnet Release ninja."
"So you really think we're prey to be slaughtered?" Chloe and Troy sneered arrogantly when they heard Shin-chan's arrogant declaration, as if they were already his.
Chloe said in a deep voice, "Uchiha Shingetsu, you underestimate the ninjas of Kumogakure. Do you think you can easily control us with just a pair of Sharingan and one of the Sannin who betrayed the village?"
Although Troy did not speak, his eyes became unusually sharp, and his hands quietly reached for the peculiar ninja tool box behind him.
"Make your move!" Chloe made the first move! He knew that the Sharingan's perception was amazing, especially the speed that Kamizuki had just displayed, which was terrifying. He had to disrupt her vision.
He quickly formed hand seals, and his lightning chakra surged forth from his body.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Pillar!"
Several thick, blinding blue-white bolts of lightning appeared out of thin air. They did not attack directly, but rather swept and flashed back and forth within the Four Purple Flame Array like giant searchlights!
The entire interior of the barrier was filled with blinding light, the intense light and the interference of lightning chakra intended to block Shingetsu's Sharingan vision.
"As expected, when fighting against the Sharingan, everyone thinks of blocking the Sharingan's vision first!" Shen Yue thought to himself. It seemed that he had anticipated this sudden burst of light. In the instant the lightning flashed, his eyes were already closed, and he did not rely on his vision.
At the same moment that Kamizuki's vision was disrupted, Troy on the other side also made a move!
Clang!
The ninja tool box on his back opened instantly, and a giant shuriken, as big as a door panel, with sharp edges and gleaming with a cold metallic light, shot towards the closed-eyed Shingetsu with astonishing speed and power, accompanied by a violent whistling sound as it tore through the air!
This giant shuriken came with tremendous force, clearly infused with powerful chakra, and was by no means an ordinary throw!
"Kamizuki-kun, be careful, don't take it head-on!" Orochimaru's hoarse voice rang out immediately upon seeing this. He recognized the ninja tool and the attack method. The magnetic force within it would be absorbed into the body upon contact, and if blocked, it would connect with the magnetic force within Troy's body.
After that, Troy was unable to throw any darts, and those whose bodies were tainted by this magnetic force could not dodge and could only have their lives taken.
However, it seemed as if Kamizuki hadn't heard Orochimaru's warning, or rather, he simply didn't care.
Just as the giant shuriken was about to strike, the ninja sword on Shingetsu's back was instantly drawn!
Clang!
A flash of light!
Instead of dodging, he held the knife in one hand and cleaved it with perfect precision, meeting the huge shuriken head-on!
"clang!"
A deafening clang of metal echoed within the barrier!
Amidst the flying sparks, the massive shuriken that had come on so aggressively was deflected by Shen Yue's strike, its trajectory altered, and it flew back at an even faster speed, hurtling straight towards the direction where Troy and Chloe were!
Seeing that Kamizuki actually used his ninja sword to block Troy's attack, Chloe's eyes showed not surprise, but rather a smug look of triumph.
He sneered, "Uchiha Shingetsu, you were too careless! You're dead now!"
His tone suggested he had already won.
"Troy possesses the bloodline limit of 'Magnet Release'! Any metal marked by his Magnet Release chakra will be under his control! Your sword, having just touched his shuriken, has already been marked!"
Almost as soon as Chloe finished speaking, Troy had already completed the hand seals and shouted, "Magnetic Release: Shuriken Control!"
Something strange happened!
The ninja sword in Shen Yue's hand, which had just cleaved away the giant shuriken, suddenly trembled and emitted a low hum, as if it were being pulled and controlled by an invisible and enormous force, and was about to break free from Shen Yue's grasp and attack him instead!
At the same time, the giant shuriken that had been cleaved away drew an eerie arc in the air, accelerated again, and, together with the controlled ninja sword, attacked Shingetsu from two directions!
"Hmph, Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai? Manipulating metal?" Faced with this sudden double attack, Shingetsu showed no panic and devoted himself entirely to the battle.
He did not release the ninja sword from the invisible magnetic force, but allowed the ninja sword to shift slightly under the control of the magnetic force, while at the same time, the chakra under his feet suddenly exploded!
"The Instantaneous Movement Technique!"
Just as the ninja sword was about to strike back and the giant shuriken was about to hurtle down, Shingetsu's figure vanished from the spot like a ghost, leaving only a faint afterimage.
The ninja sword and the whistling giant shuriken, drawn by the magnetic force, suddenly lost their target and collided with a clang, sparks flying, before falling limply to the ground.
"What?!" Chloe's smug expression froze instantly.
The scenario he had envisioned—that Shingetsu would be attacked by his own weapon or have to dodge in a sorry state—did not occur.
The opponent was too fast! So fast that the Magnet Release manipulation didn't even have time to fully take effect before he was out of the attack range.
"How could this be?" Troy's pupils contracted slightly, his hands still forming hand seals, as he shouted, "Magnetic Release: Hand Sword Rain!"
The ninja tool box on his back opened again, and countless tiny shuriken imbued with Magnet Release chakra shot out like a black rainstorm, covering a large area where Shingetsu might move.
These shuriken are not only fast, but also attracted by the magnetic force within Shenyue's body, locking onto her almost in real time, making them extremely difficult to dodge.
However, Shingetsu was too fast.
The shuriken saw the trajectory of Troy's attack.
His figure flashed continuously within the limited space of the Four Purple Flame Array, each instantaneous movement precisely avoiding the coverage of iron sand and subsequent pursuit.
The shuriken struck the barrier wall, making a series of "thud" sounds, but it didn't even touch the hem of Shen Yue's clothes.
