Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#318 - Wind

"The Leaf's Attraction Technique!"

Accompanied by a slightly hoarse voice, a man wearing a white bandage mask suddenly flashed into view, leaping out from the branches and quickly landing on the road ahead.

He wore camouflage pants on his lower body, while his upper body was simply clad in suspenders…

Behind him, not far away, there happened to be a lake.

After hearing the man's words, Liang Yue raised an eyebrow, his gaze involuntarily shifting to Kakashi beside him.

"Ding~"

Kakashi, at this moment, simply extended a finger and lightly flicked the great sword in Liang Yue's hand, then expressionlessly looked at the man in front of him and said.

"The Executioner's Blade, you are Zabuza Momochi, a rogue ninja from the Hidden Mist Village's Seven Ninja Swordsmen."

"Oh~ So it's Kakashi Hatake, the Leaf Village's famous Copy Ninja, with the Sharingan."

……

After a round of mutual flattery, the atmosphere in the arena gradually became tense. Kakashi then stepped forward, shielding Liang Yue and the others behind him.

He solemnly warned Naruto, who was eager to try, "This person is not in the same league as the two we encountered this morning, and you guys can't handle him in your current state. Stay back."

After speaking, he gave Liang Yue a look.

The meaning ~ was probably to have him protect them…

Immediately afterward, Kakashi solemnly lifted the ninja headband that had been covering his eye.

On his fair skin, a clear scar ran across his eye socket, and as his eyelid opened, a bright red Sharingan with three tomoe was revealed.

Seeing Kakashi reveal his signature, Zabuza Momochi across from him took a deep look at Liang Yue, then flashed, instantly moving onto the surface of the lake.

As a ninja from the Hidden Mist Village, fighting in the lake obviously gave him an advantage.

At this moment, Zabuza Momochi formed a hand seal with both hands, chanting a few words from behind his bandages. After a simple hand sign, a thick fog instantly began to rise around the lake and in the forest.

In just a few breaths, the fog became layered, obscuring everyone's vision, and the visibility began to decrease.

Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Tazuna behind him unconsciously stood back-to-back, looking around warily.

"Be careful."

Kakashi solemnly reminded the others, then directly stepped onto the lake surface.

Seeing this, Liang Yue twitched his lips, then spread his arms.

In an instant, an invisible wind suddenly began to blow, centered on himself and the four people behind him, constantly swirling and spreading around.

Gradually, the wind force began to gradually increase, the air currents surged, and the leaves swayed.

Seeing this, Kakashi turned his head in surprise and glanced at him.

Then, he continued to walk towards Zabuza Momochi in front, whose face suddenly changed.

"Chunqiu, you can use Wind Style ninjutsu?"

Sasuke beside him looked surprised. As the last descendant of the Uchiha clan and the son of the clan leader, his family education was naturally very good.

It was no wonder that Sasuke would feel surprised at this moment. After all, the fact that the Hyuga clan's chakra could not be used for ninjutsu was a well-known secret among families with any insight in the ninja world.

"I don't know any Wind Style ninjutsu, but using chakra to create airflow within a certain range is not difficult, and this ability itself has no power.

At most, it can only be considered a small gust of wind."

"Oh…"

……

As they spoke, two bursts of killing intent suddenly erupted. Liang Yue slightly turned his head.

The one adult and three children behind him were deeply shocked by this aura. Even the hands holding the kunai began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Bang~"

At this moment, Zabuza Momochi across from them quickly made several hand seals, and the Executioner's Blade in Liang Yue's hand suddenly turned into a puff of white smoke.

In the blink of an eye, it appeared in the other party's hand.

At the same time, Zabuza's figure blurred for a moment, instantly turning into two gray shadows, flying towards Kakashi from two directions.

"Ding~!"

The Executioner's Blade and the kunai separated with a single touch.

Subsequently, Zabuza Momochi himself continued to attack Kakashi, his eyes full of killing intent, staring intently at his every move.

The other shadow clone directly attacked Liang Yue and the others.

Obviously, Zabuza's intention at this time was very clear, which was to use the safety of the few of them as a restraint, forcing Kakashi to fight distractedly, thereby revealing flaws.

However, what he didn't expect was that Kakashi never looked back once.

Then~

"Bang~"

Accompanied by a short muffled sound, his shadow clone was also immediately turned into white smoke and collapsed.

The one who made the move was naturally Liang Yue~

Faced with the other party's shadow clone's attack, he simply used an Attraction Technique to trip one of the other party's feet, taking advantage of the other party's stunned moment.

He took a big step forward and slapped down on the head, directly ending the battle.

This battle was not exciting, but the use of skills was very ingenious.

Immediately, Zabuza Momochi, who had already received the memory of his shadow clone, was stunned.

At this time, Kakashi seized the fleeting opportunity.

He pounced forward, and under a barrage of attacks with kunai in his hand, he directly left a deep bloodstain on the other party's arm.

The two then separated again…

"A genius from the Leaf Village, able to instantly kill my shadow clone at such a young age, is indeed very unusual."

Saying this, Zabuza took a deep look at Liang Yue not far away, then looked at the wound on his arm, which was constantly bleeding.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, used the Hiding Mist Technique again, mixed into it, and then decisively ran away…

He couldn't beat Kakashi in a one-on-one fight.

He wanted to attack the enemy with the weak, but he found that the other side was not weak either, and he was also injured now.

The battle situation was obviously at a disadvantage~

Therefore, decisively retreating was naturally the smartest choice for the other party…

Kakashi looked around with his Sharingan, and after confirming that the other party had not stayed behind, he quickly returned to the shore.

……

"How did the other party know about the name of the Attraction Technique?"

On the way, Liang Yue looked at Kakashi next to him with some surprise and asked.

"Uh… Ninjutsu, isn't it something for people to learn? Besides, you just saw it, unexpectedly, the effect of this Attraction Technique is still very crucial.

It can be used to block hidden weapons and restrain opponents, so after the Third Hokage mastered it, he passed this ninjutsu down two years ago, but don't worry, the only ones who know this ninjutsu now.

Besides the few little guys around you, there are only a few elite Jonin in Konoha Village, um~ and then, maybe the higher-ups of your Hyuga family also know it.

In short, it's because its effect is not small, so it will be remembered by ninjas from other ninja villages. By the way, what was the deal with that Wind Style ninjutsu you used earlier?"

Kakashi scratched his white hair at this time, and then asked with great interest.

"Great Wind Technique, it's just a semi-finished product, other than being able to blow wind, it has no attack power, but the characteristic is that it can be used as long as there is chakra."

Liang Yue replied with a calm expression upon hearing this.

This Great Wind Technique is actually an extension of the Wind Control Art recorded in the Everlasting Spring Technique, or rather, a variant usage.

This Wind Control Art was originally a movement technique, a state-type spell.

After casting it, the recipient's body will be surrounded by wind, which can increase movement speed and flexibility.

This was originally just an entry-level spell in the cultivation system, but if it is placed in the current ninjutsu system, it is still very valuable.

At least, its use does not require any specific Wind Style chakra.

Even the Hyuga family's chakra can be used.

"Sounds like~ it's very interesting. Next, we may have to stay in this Wave Country for a while, why don't you teach it to me, how about it?"

Kakashi looked at Liang Yue with a thick face and a smile in his eyes.

"…You've already mastered enough ninjutsu, right? Copy Ninja, do you want to learn something without attack power too?"

Liang Yue heard this and immediately said with some amusement.

"No attack power doesn't mean it's useless, just like the Hiding Mist Technique just now, it doesn't have much power itself, but the effect is very good, and it can also have a surprisingly effective effect in certain situations."

"Alright, I'll teach you if you want to learn…"

"Ah~ Thank you, it's really comfortable to be your substitute teacher~"
