The pillar of light disappeared, and Utakata stood on all fours on the water surface, his six tails swaying behind him. Two streams of white gas escaped from the corners of his mouth as he looked around, but he couldn't find Kisame's shadow at all.
The Squad Leader was also searching. The attack just now was indeed powerful, but whether it could obliterate a person's remains was hard to say. No matter what, Samehada should have left something behind.
The most likely scenario in this situation was that the attack missed. Did he escape using the Substitution Technique? Or was that just a Water Clone?
The Squad Leader was suddenly startled. Not caring whether he would be affected, he shouted loudly, "Be careful underwater!"
In reality, he wasn't sure if Utakata in this state could hear him, but it was his duty. He had to try, even if speaking out made him the next target, he had to warn him.
Sure enough, the water surface below Utakata suddenly bulged, and the great sword Samehada slashed fiercely at Utakata!
Utakata was sent flying a dozen meters, the Chakra tails behind him disappeared, and only a thin red Chakra membrane remained on his body. At this moment, his skin had been completely burned and peeled off by the state two Chakra, but it was rapidly healing under the effect of the Tailed Beast Chakra.
Utakata regained consciousness and lay on the water surface, panting heavily.
Kisame wasn't having an easy time either. That attack just now was too sudden. He felt that if he had been even slightly careless, he would have lost his life.
But fortunately, he had Samehada to replenish Chakra and heal his injuries.
That attack just now absorbed a lot of Chakra. Samehada's size had increased by a large circle, and it was chirping and chattering as if it was very happy.
Kisame adjusted his condition and walked towards Utakata step by step, carrying Samehada.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
The Squad Leader immediately began preparations as soon as he saw Utakata being sent flying. He weaved 44 hand seals in quick succession, summoning a Water Dragon to attack Kisame.
He himself quickly ran to Utakata's side, wanting to take him away.
"Don't come over!" Utakata turned his head and shouted. Red Chakra erupted from his body again. Different from before, this time, after the Chakra solidified, the entire Tailed Beast cloak turned dark blue.
He didn't like this state where he couldn't control himself either, but the enemy in front of him couldn't be dealt with in a normal state.
Kisame raised Samehada in front of him, "Oh? You can still Tailed Beast transform? Looks different from before."
The Squad Leader listened to Utakata's words and distanced himself from him again, while Utakata, transformed into a small, blue Six Tails, instantly disappeared from the spot and appeared behind Kisame.
"What?" Before Kisame could react, he felt a heavy blow to his back. Barely supporting his body, he was about to counterattack when he was hit on his side, sending his entire body flying.
Kisame struggled to stand up, blood dripping from his back and side, with wisps of white gas rising at the same time.
Kisame touched the wound on his side, feeling the pain transmitted to his hand, and muttered to himself, "This corrosive feeling, is it a strong alkali? And the speed has obviously increased."
Every Jinchuriki has their own special abilities. The Six Tails Jinchuriki's ability is to enter red and blue modes, which seems very similar to a certain giant of light. The red mode focuses on strength, and the blue mode focuses on speed.
The Six Tails Jinchuriki's red mode also focuses on strength and can fire a Tailed Beast Ball. The blue mode focuses on speed, and the Chakra on his body is alkaline, and he can also spray alkaline liquid from his mouth.
The Six Tails Saiken's original form is a Slug. Now it seems that it is obviously not the same species as the Slug Sage of Shikkotsu Forest. The Slug Sage sprays acid.
For Kisame, this alkaline attack was also a bit troublesome. This couldn't be solved by rinsing the wound with a lot of water.
Even if Samehada could heal his wounds quickly, the pain of being corroded still constantly stimulated his nerves.
"In that case, let's cut him again." Kisame grinned and took the initiative to rush forward.
Utakata in blue mode was of course unwilling to be outdone and pounced over.
Just as Samehada was about to make contact with Utakata, Utakata sprayed a cloud of alkaline liquid, instantly changed direction, and slapped Kisame's side with a claw.
Kisame subconsciously used Samehada to block the alkaline liquid, and Samehada let out painful howls.
Kisame didn't care about Samehada's feelings, and forcibly took a claw from Utakata, losing a large piece of flesh from his recently recovered waist and ribs.
"Got you!" Kisame was a ruthless person. Taking the opportunity, he grabbed Utakata's arm, enduring the pain of his palm being corroded, and swung Samehada with his other hand, smashing it down on his head. He never flinched from exchanging injuries for injuries.
Utakata, with one hand grabbed and unable to break free, grabbed Kisame's chest fiercely with the other hand, and added a mouthful of alkaline liquid.
But Samehada finally landed on his head, smashing him into the water.
Samehada absorbed its fill again, but it wasn't happy. The taste of this Chakra was not good at all. It even felt like it was going to have a stomachache, constantly struggling and thrashing in Kisame's hand.
Kisame was seriously injured this time. An ordinary person would basically be waiting to die, but he was slowly recovering with the help of the Chakra fed back by Samehada.
The reason it was slow was because Samehada had an upset stomach and was in a bad mood.
The Squad Leader, who had been watching the battle from the side, had already released a Water Clone to dive into the water to rescue people, while the main body threw out various ninja tools and Exploding Tags to attract Kisame's attention.
Of course, he didn't necessarily not have the idea of taking advantage of his injury to take his life.
Kisame was too badly injured and could only barely cope with the Squad Leader's attack, but the two didn't fight for long before a small white bird flew between them.
"Drink!" Deidara's voice came from above, and the little bird exploded immediately.
The Squad Leader and Kisame saw the fire and quickly retreated, but they were still overturned by the shockwave of the explosion, and both spat out a mouthful of blood.
Relatively speaking, Kisame's blood loss was greater. He looked up and shouted, "You bastard, are you trying to blow me up too?"
The Squad Leader looked at Deidara, who was slowly decreasing in altitude, with a slightly ugly expression. He felt a little relieved when he saw the Mist Ninja chasing after Deidara.
Deidara's tone was also very aggressive: "Serves you right for dying, isn't it because you guys were dawdling that you made me like this!"
Only then did Kisame see clearly that the bird under Deidara's feet seemed to have been replaced, and his recently reattached arm was gone again. Kisame mocked, "You're really a mess."
"What right do you have to say about me!" Deidara instantly exploded. Everything was going smoothly. He killed their commander, and then relied on his aerial advantage to slowly destroy those annoying ninja tools, blasting the people below to scurry around with their heads in their hands.
But unexpectedly, a white light suddenly flashed—Utakata's Void Dog Cannon didn't hit Kisame, but accidentally almost took Deidara away in the distance.
The Clay bird under Deidara's feet was directly cut off by more than half. If he hadn't reacted in time, he would have lost more than just an arm.
Deidara, who lost his mount and fell from a high altitude, was almost blasted into dregs by the Mist Ninja who had been suffocating for a long time. In a hurry, he could only mold a defective bird to temporarily save his life.
He estimated that the time was almost up before he flew to Kisame's side.
