Chapter 351 Berserkers and Rangers (Part 1)
"Hagoromo, who do you think will win this battle?" Kakashi asked Hagoromo.
"If it were just based on the strength shown by the two of them, the winner would naturally be Kimimaro, but... I just don't know if Kai has taught some of his disciples some tricks."
Hagoromo replied that Kakashi probably also noticed something, otherwise he would not have asked such a question at all, otherwise he would know that he could win even if he just considered that Kimimaro had eaten two years more than Xiao Li.
Both of them could guess that with Kai's character, those things that Haoyi said fell into the category of "have and don't have". Kai must have taught him.
The battle between ninjas is exciting because it is full of unknowns and uncertainties. The situation of the weak defeating the strong has always existed. Otherwise, why would everyone fight? Just sit down and compare the data and then decide the winner. .
"So, in general, I think it should be... 50-50."
Kakashi: "...Huh?"
In fact, this is not Hagoromo's truth. Even if Rock Lee can use the Eight Gate Dungeon, he still feels that Kimimaro can win unless the opponent can open the last three to two gates. But considering the opponent's age, that is almost impossible. possible.
When fighting against ninjas like Xiao Li, Kimimaro has a natural advantage. After all, even Hagoromo himself felt quite uncomfortable when he had close combat with Kimimaro in taijutsu... If Kimimaro If you use corpse veins, just imagine how shameless that situation would be. He is a hedgehog with thorns all over his body, making it impossible for anyone to start.
Therefore, the best way to deal with Kimimaro's situation is to attack him from a medium to long distance without giving him a chance to get close at all. But if his opponent is Xiao Li, then the problem will arise. The two physical ninjas can only fight in close combat, because Xiao Li has no long-range attack methods at all.
"Haha, watch carefully, everyone, Li will definitely surprise you." Kai interjected with some excitement.
Hagoromo and Kakashi looked at each other, helpless. Things that should have been surprising were no longer surprising after Kai said this - looking at this guy's expression, you can guess what's going to happen next, after all, it can make Kai have such arrogant and showy emotions. There is probably only one technique.
Looking down from the second floor, Xiao Li was already rushing towards Kimimaro in a straight line, and the extremely short distance between the two people almost disappeared in an instant.
It is undeniable that Xiao Li's speed at this time is already at the top level among genin.
Judging from the physical performance of his attack without any unnecessary movements, his foundation in physical skills is very solid. It is absolutely impossible to do this without a considerable degree of training. In other words, Xiao Li's body is already weak at such a young age. It has gone through a lot of hard work.
But just like this, it still cannot effectively contain Kimimaro... Don't forget, he grew up eating energy gathering rings.
Xiao Li came close to Kimimaro, and then his body, which was slightly bent to accumulate power, suddenly straightened up. He suddenly accelerated by leaning forward, and then he shot out at Kimimaro's torso with one hand. A powerful straight punch.
Clean and decisive, this is how Taijutsu should be used.
However, it is a pity that such an accelerated attack method did not cause Kimimaro the slightest confusion. He has a jounin-level observation ability, so when Xiao Li was prepared for such an action, he had already made corresponding reaction preparations. :
The center of gravity of his body retreated with his right foot. His steps were not too big, but coupled with the backward tilt of his upper body, he was just able to avoid the opponent's punch.
At the same time, the twin swords and flatheads that were originally resting on the right side of his body and held in his right hand were first handed behind him, then received into his left hand, and then jerked forward under the tug of Kimimaro's strength. Swing out!
In fact, this was equivalent to making a circular dance with this heavy weapon around his waist.
As the saying goes, every inch is longer and every inch stronger. In terms of attack distance, Kimimaro with weapons is of course far superior to Xiao Li with bare hands. Moreover, Kimimaro's body doesn't look very thick, and this move is not enough. It's a one-handed machete, but from the sound of splitting the air when the move is performed, you can imagine what kind of power is contained in this attack.
The double-sword 鲲鲷 is a heavy weapon in itself, and Kimimaro has put in a lot of effort over the years to be able to use it smoothly.
The so-called heavy sword without edge is just a hammer. If the flesh and blood body of an ordinary ninja is hit like this, the end result will basically be to eat dirt.
So in the face of Kimimaro's dodge and use of offense instead of defense, Xiao Li's instinctive judgment made him not continue to attack. Instead, he used the muscles of his lower limbs to exert force. He chose to retreat and dodge... It depends on where he came from and where he went. .
Neither side achieved much in the first confrontation, but it did allow Kimimaro to regain the initiative in attack.
While Xiao Li was still retreating, he had already grasped the hilt of the knife with both hands. While his legs were chasing in an inherent rhythm, with a strong squeeze of both hands, a large amount of chakra had already flowed towards the turtle. .
The twin swords and flatheads are special ninja tools. Of course, it is unknown how the seven Kirigakure ninja swords trained Hagoromo and Kimimaro to use them. Therefore, the current usage was figured out by Kimimaro himself. It must be called Yeluzi.
There is always one characteristic of Yeluzi's origin, that is, his moves are full of wildness and violence. Once he is caught, he will be greeted by continuous rain and crazy bombardment.
Compared to the fact that the long knife and sewing needle were hidden away and only used as toothpicks, Kimimaro preferred this gift Hagoromo gave him.
Chakra overflowed from the round hole on the blade, and then gathered into a blue energy body.
The Seven Ninja Swords each have their own characteristics. Although they are all named "swords", many of them cannot actually be called swords from their appearance to usage. The Double Sword·Fundamon is one of them. There is no excuse for this. A hammer, because it is used to hit people.
There was a mass of energy gathering in front, and chakra spurted out from behind. Under the influence of these two phases, it was hit hard by Kimimaro.
The acceleration brought about by "Fundamon Liberation" caused Kimimaro himself to thrust out at high speed. With a loud "boom", he directly hit a wall from the center of the field!
In an instant, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and the situation in the venue was obscured.
After the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, the exposed cracks and collapsed walls made the audience marvel at Kimimaro's destructive power. The moment just now caused the entire main body of the building to shake.
But Kimimaro was the only one standing there, and his attack failed to hit.
It turns out that at the moment when Kimimaro attacked, relying on his completely instinctive reaction ability, which can even be said to be reflex ability, Xiao Li's avoidance method changed from extending backwards to dodging to both sides, which made him dangerously dangerous. He avoided the fate of being smashed into the wall.
If he still chooses to retreat, he will not be able to avoid Kimimaro's spray attack.
"As expected, he is very strong. His physical ability is equal to mine, but his chakra level is higher than mine, so I probably can't beat you in this normal state..." Xiao Li said as his eyes turned to the door on the second floor. The location of Tekai.
"Teacher Kai!" Xiao Li's voice was firm.
"Well, that's okay, Li!" Kai gave Li a thumbs up in return.
There is no doubt that he gave the most positive response to his dear disciple.
The expression on Xiao Li's face suddenly turned happy, and then turned serious when he faced Kimimaro again.
He began to remove the bandages on his body and the weights tied to his limbs, during which Kimimaro did not launch an attack.
Now this is a competition between ninjas from the same village, not a battle to kill anyone. Although Kimimaro has a cold face, it is impossible for him to not even have this kind of courage.
Just see what the other person wants to do.
"Be careful next time, I'm going to use real moves against you."
Rock Lee bent his arms and clenched his fists, and began to hold back his ultimate move in a posture similar to constipation - the size of his chakra began to increase, accelerate, and intensify exponentially.
"First door, open the door!"
"Second door, close the door!"
"The third door, the living door!"
"The fourth door, the injury door!"
"Open, rest, live, hurt, eight gates of Dunjia, four gates open in a row!"
Eight Gate Dunjia, this should be the third time Yuyi has seen this technique.
