Chapter 169: Disappeared?
The reason is that Koshino wasn't fighting alone; he was battling alongside Guy, Genma and Ebisu.
In the clash between Koshino and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Guy and the other two were undoubtedly burdens, dragging him down.
Even though Koshino didn't say it, Guy and the others were well aware of it.
So here's the problem! If Koshino, who used the Shadow Clone Jutsu to successively take down Kushimaru and the wielder of the Twin Swords, was fighting alone against the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, then after Kushimaru and the Twin Swords wielder were killed, Koshino's next target would definitely be Jūzō, who could see through the Shadow Clone Jutsu's secrets.
As for Raiga Kurosuki.
That's right!
With mastery over the Thunder Swords, Raiga Kurosuki's Lightning Release techniques could rival those of Kakashi in his prime. But don't forget, Raiga appeared in the original storyline, and many of his secret techniques were known to Koshino, making him not the greatest threat to Koshino.
Moreover, Koshino's mental energy had undergone a half-step qualitative change, comparable to the Fourth Hokage's Wind Perception, Wind Acceleration, and Wind Body Flicker. Each secret technique could easily counter Raiga's Lightning Release techniques. Additionally, Koshino's wind chakra had completed the second stage of nature transformation, subtly restraining Raiga and the Thunder Swords.
In such a scenario, even if Raiga's Lightning Release techniques posed some threat, without the ability to ensure accuracy, how could he possibly deal with Koshino?
On the contrary, Guy, Genma and Ebisu were the ones truly restrained by Raiga!
Completely lacking the ability to confront the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, if Koshino were to engage Jūzō, Jinpachi, Fuguki and the others and Raiga suddenly used the Thunder Swords to unleash Lightning Release techniques aimed at Guy, Genma and Ebisu, what if he directly killed one of them?
Therefore, Koshino's target was set on Raiga, with the primary thought in his mind being to protect Guy, Genma and Ebisu!
Immediately, he formed hand seals!
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
The shadow beneath Koshino's feet extended directly to Guy and the other two.
That was undoubtedly Koshino's Shadow Communication Technique!
"Guy! Genma! Ebisu! I'm going to focus on the battle! If you encounter any trouble, just communicate it mentally. Don't try to be a hero, got it?"
"Got it, Koshino, you focus on the fight!"
"Koshino, Genma and I are slightly less injured, we can protect Guy!"
"Ebisu's right, with us here, Koshino, you can rest assured!"
With their mental communication, Koshino received the responses from the three and his previously tense nerves finally relaxed a bit.
Moreover, as Koshino's tense nerves slightly relaxed, facing the formidable Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, he still maintained that smile at the corner of his mouth.
Clearly, as soon as Kuriare Kushimaru and the Twin Swords wielder were killed, Koshino had already won!
To achieve such a feat with the strength of an elite jōnin, taking down two members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, what kind of achievement would be worthy of pride if not this?
Besides, even though Koshino had traversed worlds, don't forget that he was still only four years old, almost five!
With the various wonders of the app and repeated life-and-death breakthroughs, achieving such remarkable feats before the age of five, the shackles that once bound Koshino were disappearing one by one!
Having shed the shackles of "life," with a firm ninja way, will, and a capacity far beyond the ordinary!
Koshino, still maintaining his peak state, felt his essence, energy, and spirit further elevated!
Then, in the next second!
As Koshino, through mental communication, secretly instructed Guy, Genma and Ebisu to find a good opportunity to escape if possible, his chakra surged rapidly, and using the Wind Body Flicker, Koshino vanished from his original spot, reappearing in front of Jinpachi!
"Hmph!"
"Don't get too cocky, kid!"
Koshino had made a name for himself with his outstanding achievements, having consecutively defeated Kushimaru and the wielder of Hiramekarei.
So, when Koshino used the Wind Body Flicker Technique to appear before Jinin Akebino, the wielder of the Blunt Sword- Kabutowari, Jinin's expression turned serious as he prepared to counter Koshino's sudden appearance.
Here, we must mention the Blunt Sword-Kabutowari!
Kabutowari, is one of the Seven Ninja Swords of the Mist, known for its peculiar shape, next to the Great Sword, Samehada.
One side is a axe, and the other is a hammer.
The typical attack method with the Blunt Sword, Kabutowari, involves striking the enemy with the axe and then using the hammer to deliver a heavy blow.
With the combined force of both ends, the Blunt Sword, Kabutowari, is said to be able to break through any defense!
However, there is a drawback to using the Blunt Sword, Kabutowari: its attack speed is too slow!
And what is Koshino's advantage? It's undoubtedly speed!
Koshino's understanding of wind chakra is sharpness and penetration, but the Fourth Hokage's understanding of wind chakra was speed!
By transforming his understanding into the Gale Style Secret Technique and mastering the many speed-related secret techniques derived from the Fourth Hokage's "wind" insights, Koshino became the perfect counter to Jinin's type of ninja!
So, just as Jinin grasped both ends of Kabutowari, one hand holding the axe side and the other the hammer, ready to use the dual force to shatter all of Koshino's defenses, Koshino suddenly vanished with another Wind Body Flicker, disappearing from Jinin's sight.
In contrast,Jinin, watching Koshino vanish again and reappear behind him, was filled with an unwilling expression in his eyes!
But what can unwillingness do?
Slow means getting hit, which is the inevitable rule when facing Koshino!
Next, azure chakra bloomed in Koshino's palm as he used the new Gale Style Secret Technique, Palm Blade, aiming to take advantage of Jinin's inability to counterattack and disable his combat ability with the Palm Blade's power.
However, just as Koshino's Palm Blade was about to strike Jinin, a sudden "boom" sounded!
Jinpachi's Explosive Sword-Shibuki, launched a surprise attack, not only successfully protecting Jinin but also using its terrifying explosion to blast Koshino away!
Undoubtedly, this was the reason Koshino was facing a fierce battle!
At this moment, Koshino wasn't just facing one member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist but was up against five of them!
Jūzō Biwa, Fuguki Suikazan, Jinpachi Akebino, Jinin Akebino, and Raiga Kurosuki!
These were all renowned figures, how could they stand by and watch Koshino show off in front of them?
Moreover, the cooperation between Jinin and Jinpachi was just a small prelude to the fierce battle Koshino was facing.
In the previous second, Koshino was sent flying by the explosion's aftermath from the Explosive Sword-Shibuki.
In the next second, Fuguki appeared before Koshino!
The special ability of the Great Sword, Samehada, needs no further explanation, right?
If Koshino were to carelessly fall victim to Fuguki's attack, the terrifying characteristics of the Great Sword-Samehada, would mean Koshino wouldn't just face a fierce battle but a fatal outcome!
So, using wind perception to lock onto Fuguki's figure, especially upon realizing the Great Sword, Samehada, was about to touch him, Koshino hastily gathered a Rasengan in his left hand, intending to throw it to block Fuguki Suikazan's deadly assault.
But just as Koshino formed the Rasengan and, using his exceptional chakra control, threw it, something completely unexpected happened!
The Rasengan he threw disappeared into thin air right in front of Fuguki!
"My Rasengan disappeared?"
