The Ordinary Life of a Clear-Ryu Ninja Chapter 766

Samehada opened its gaping maw, letting out low, beast-like “glerk, glerk, glerk” joyful cries.

“Samehada even absorbed the chakra from the mud clone…” Touji suddenly realized that while his own Mud Release could absorb the enemy’s chakra, Samehada’s chakra absorption efficiency seemed even more formidable.

“I can’t even use [Mud Transformation Jutsu] now. If Samehada slices me, I’d be sucked dry.” Touji began to maneuver while contemplating a countermeasure. The puddle of water Kisame had created beneath his feet cut off the underlying mud swamp, forcing him to tread in the water. Within Touji’s embrace, Byakue transmitted excited emotional signals.

Seeing Touji remain silent, Kisame lost his enthusiasm for further chatter and charged forward, swinging Samehada.

“I can’t engage in close-quarters combat. I need to create an opportunity for a fatal blow!” Touji raised his hands, deflecting with a kunai. A heavy force emanated from Samehada, immediately making him realize he was at a disadvantage in terms of strength.

“Clang!” Touji forcefully parried the troublesome Samehada, taking a large leap backward. He noticed that the mud swamp beneath was rapidly absorbing the chakra-formed puddle. [Mud Release: Swamp of the Underworld] could absorb chakra, while Kisame’s [Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave] could not. He intentionally controlled the mud flow armor at his feet, also exerting force to draw chakra from the water, hoping to replenish his own in battle. Otherwise, facing Kisame, known as the “Tailless Tailed Beast,” he would be constrained by chakra reserves.

Kisame’s golden pupils glanced downwards, and he bared his sharp teeth in a grin. “I remember who that guy is now. A master of Mud Release, the Body Flicker expert Raido Namiashi. Your fighting style is very similar to his!”

“Cough!” Touji didn’t know if he was laughing or coughing, choked by Kisame’s words. “You’ve got the wrong person. Raido Namiashi is Konoha’s ace assassin! Of course, I’m stronger than him. I’m Iwagakure’s newly promoted elite Jonin, Katto, known as the ‘Brown Flash’!”

“Then let me see if this ‘Brown Flash’ has any substance!” Kisame dragged Samehada and charged forward with a simple, unadorned upward slash. But the sheer size of the weapon made dodging the only option.

Touji dodged left and right amidst Kisame’s weapon swings. Finding an opening, he suddenly leaned his head back then tilted sharply forward, firing continuous and dense yellowish-green sticky fluid masses from his mouth, [Scorch Release: Continuous Iron Bullet]!

Kisame only had time to block the latter dozen or so strong acid projectiles with Samehada, but both his shoulders and one calf were sizzling with white smoke. “Quite the variety of tricks, you can even use Scorch Release!” He didn’t find Touji’s move particularly impressive and even playfully teased him.

Samehada’s hilt end snaked into Kisame’s red-clouded black robe sleeve. Immediately, the corroded wounds on Kisame’s body steamed and rapidly healed.

“This Samehada is truly disgusting!” Touji and Kisame returned to a distance of about three zhang, but it was clear to both that the probing phase was over.

Kisame might have probed Touji more because he resembled “Raido Namiashi.” As for Touji, he needed to understand the extent of Kisame’s strength after acquiring Samehada. After all, he had never witnessed it firsthand and had to be cautious, otherwise, a Flying Thunder God could lead to him being chopped into pieces by Kisame.

Both silently agreed to stop the banter. Kisame plunged Samehada into the shallow water surface, freeing his hands to quickly form hand signs. Touji found Kisame’s hand signs somewhat familiar and quickly clapped his hands together…

“[Water Release: Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave]!” A colossal wave of water violently gushed from Kisame’s mouth, instantly forming a massive, ovoid water prison.

Touji’s jumping speed was faster than the water prison’s expansion. [Mud Release: Descending Clay]! In the mid-air of the mountains, as if clouds were leaking, viscous dark-red mud poured down from the sky, rapidly pressing onto the giant water prison Kisame had just created.

Large quantities of chakra mud stained the clear chakra water, turning it into sewage…
