Chapter 179: The Name of Phantom
There seems to be something wrong with this rain.
The sudden downpour made Linjiao finally realize something was abnormal at this time of life and death.
Because, until this moment, he suddenly saw that the pouring raindrops seemed to be isolated by some strange force before they fell on Zaemon.
Zaemon's body was as if he was wearing an invisible raincoat. In the heavy rain, his clothes didn't get wet at all.
It seemed that he was the only one on this battlefield who would not be affected by the heavy rain.
Could it be that this rain...
Just when Rinko suddenly remembered that the ninja wearing a black windbreaker with red clouds embroidered in front of him was a rebellious ninja from the Land of Rain, Minato Namikaze on the other side of the battlefield had actually gained an earlier insight. Got to this point.
Ding ding, ding...
In the battlefield on the top of the mountain rock, the seven Zaemon figures flickered like ghosts. Each figure with fierce murderous intent was almost too fast to be distinguished by the naked eye.
However, the fierce collision of weapons and the flickering of sparks were still somewhat unable to keep up with the extremely fast figures of these combatants on the field.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the afterimages on the field have obviously clashed several times, and the firelight caused by the collision flashed by like a slow beat...
However, although Zaemon's speed was so fast that he almost turned into an afterimage, the golden figure he was trying to chase was even faster. The battle for speed has actually become a one-sided situation.
Puff, Puff, Puff.
One by one, Zaemon was attacked by water, and in the blink of an eye, they were defeated one by one by Namikaze Minato.
They turned into water balls one after another, and after falling on the ground, they merged with the rain water on the ground.
It took just a few seconds to see that all the water Kanazaemon was eliminated, but there was no trace of relaxation on Namikaze Minato's face, and instead he frowned slightly.
Because soon, seven Zaemons condensed out of the countless puddles on the ground.
This is actually the second time Namikaze Minato has wiped out all seven Zaemon clones.
"I really didn't expect that the Water Escape Shadow Clone could be recycled in this way..."
Namikaze Minato glanced thoughtfully at the enemies who were once again surrounding them, and from the corner of his eye glanced at Kakuzu, who was apparently standing still but was actually watching the formation with eager eyes.
After shaking off the accumulated water from the flying thunder god Kunai, he directly pointed out Zaemon's ability and said: "It seems that this rain is probably your ninjutsu method, right?"
"It's just that if your skills are only of this level, it won't be enough to defeat me..."
Although this ability is not a threat to Namikaze Minato, it can be done if it only temporarily delays him.
This was also the reason why Namikaze Minato frowned. He was not worried about himself. He was worried about whether the Shadow Guards could handle the group of Nami ninja mercenaries. Although the Shadow Guards, Xiang and Kirikou were all considered to be Konoha's elite ninjas. , but if they are outnumbered, the situation will be difficult to predict.
"To be able to surpass me in terms of speed, and at the same time be able to see through my rain technique so quickly, I truly deserve to be the Hokage of Konoha..."
At this time, the seven Zaemons were already getting more and more frightened as they fought.
They had to be thankful that they were using their clones to fight Namikaze Minato. If they had been in their true form, they probably wouldn't have been able to last more than a few rounds.
"Tch, it would be weird if your little trick ninjutsu couldn't be easily seen through, right?" Unexpectedly, at this time, the ruthless mockery of the sound of an urn could be heard in Kakuzu in the distance.
"Asshole Kakuzu! Where are you from?" One of the seven Zaemons couldn't help but turned around and glared in the direction of Kakuzu.
The clone Zaemon was very unwilling and said bitterly: "My master's technique is not just that!"
Namikaze Minato shook his head secretly, the guys in the Akatsuki organization are indeed some living treasures...
Although the dark clouds above his head have obviously become lighter at this time, indicating that this cumulonimbus must also have rainfall restrictions, the situation at this time does not allow him to be contained here, and he is worried about the condition of everyone in the Shadow Guards. Namikaze Minato had to consider a quick decision.
He tightened the kunai in his hand, and just when Namikaze Minato was about to mobilize chakra and change tactics, he heard the sound of rainstorms that kept falling to the ground, but suddenly there was a strange pause, and there was a moment of stillness.
At the same moment, the rain curtain in front of me became slightly distorted!
And the amount of chakra he mobilized was obviously abnormal. It could be felt that the chakra flowing in the chakra acupuncture points of the meridian system, which was originally able to be controlled down to the millimeter, also had a sense of deviation.
Is this an illusion? !
When exactly?
Due to problems with his vision and hearing at the same time, Namikaze Minato was shaken and almost fell down.
The seven Zaemons were obviously waiting for this moment. After the successful smile flashed across their faces, everyone turned into afterimages again, and in an instant they attacked again at Namikaze Minato, who finally showed his flaw.
Swish.
Seven afterimages passed by Namikaze Minato from different directions in the blink of an eye, waving their blades. The murderous intent on the field suddenly rose, but it only returned to calm in an instant.
Figures passed by each other, but the blond figure in the center did not fall as expected.
Kakuzu outside the field was watching the battle situation, and suddenly his eyes turned into shock.
Because what he saw was not that Zaemon's attack succeeded, but that the seven Zaemons turned into rain again after the attack...
"How could this happen? Even if Zaemon's technique didn't achieve a good effect, it shouldn't be so easily broken..." Kakuzu couldn't help but think to himself while he was shocked.
Although Kakuzu always looked down on Zaemon, who was arrogant and arrogant on weekdays, he still had some ability and special skills in illusion.
On the other hand, Minato Namikaze, who broke the illusion at the limit and then counterattacked, was a little disordered at this time.
If it weren't for the advantage of the Sage Mode and his extraordinary reflexes, the attack just now might have really injured him.
Minato Namikaze was a little relieved when he thought of this.
While adjusting quickly, the seven Zaemons who turned into rain around them began to condense into water escape shadow clones again without any accident.
After this appearance, the seven Zaemons all looked at Minato Namikaze with a look of doubt and uncertainty on their faces.
Surprisingly, he did not show disappointment that his illusion was easily broken.
Instead, he said with admiration: "It's amazing that you can quickly break and counterattack..."
Changing his tone, Zaemon suddenly said meaningfully: "However, I want to see how long you can last in the rain of this uncle..."
These words seemed to be incoherent, but when Minato Namikaze heard them, he quickly understood what they meant.
Because the illusion caused by the previous strange illusion appeared again for no reason.
Obviously, the illusion has been solved, but soon it was hit again. This undoubtedly shows that the illusion is a continuous illusion, or that he has not completely broken Zaemon's illusion...
What happened? Any illusion cannot be performed without the scope of the five senses, vision, touch, taste, smell, and hearing. What is the way that this illusion makes me fall into the technique?
While trying to mobilize chakra to resist and calm the impact of the illusion on himself, Namikaze Minato's thinking and insight also worked rapidly, carefully recalling all the details of the battle so far.
Relying on the unique chakra of the Sage Mode, Namikaze Minato has offset the influence of the illusion to the greatest extent.
But even so, facing this kind of continuous illusion attack, if you can't see through its principles and means of casting, and really break it, the situation will only become more and more unfavorable if you continue to fight.
At this time, the seven Saemon also attacked again.
Gritting his teeth, Namikaze Minato had to do the same thing as before, first breaking this wave of illusions, and then counterattacking.
As expected, after this round of confrontation, although Namikaze Minato staged the previous scene again, first breaking the illusion and then completely destroying Saemon's water escape shadow clone, it didn't take long before the illusion of the illusion attacked again.
After this back and forth, he consumed a lot of his chakra.
Sure enough, is this the enemy's purpose?
At this point, Minato Namikaze simply slowed down his mentality, put everything behind him, and re-examined the seven water clones of Zaemon with a calm mind.
At this time, the shadow clones were quickly condensing into human forms with rainwater.
In a flash of inspiration, he suddenly understood.
He couldn't help but raise his mouth slightly and said: "So that's how it is, it's still a tactile illusion after all..."
The seven Zaemons and the corners outside the field were all shocked when they heard it.
Minato Namikaze looked at Zaemon with admiration for the first time and said: "I have to admit that I have never seen a ninjutsu method that can add two nature changes to the shadow clone at the same time."
"If I'm not wrong, your shadow clone has added the nature change of water attribute chakra, and also given the nature change of illusion attack, right?"
Just now, Minato Namikaze finally saw through Zaemon's technique.
The reason why he kept falling into the illusion was because he broke Zaemon's Water Style Shadow Clone Technique. As these broken Water Style Shadow Clone Techniques could touch the person who was hit by the technique unknowingly the moment they turned into water, this created the conditions for him to perform the tactile illusion.
