Chapter 154: Fire Sword and Ninjutsu

It is a common practice for ninjas to attach chakra to their ninja tools to increase their combat effectiveness. In theory, any of the five attributes of chakra can be used, but the more common ones are wind attribute and lightning attribute chakra.

Wind attribute chakra can increase the cutting power of ninja tools, while lightning attribute chakra can increase the penetrating power of ninja tools. These are two very powerful and convenient methods. Yeshan often uses lightning attribute chakra to increase penetrating power, so he was not too surprised to see the flames ignited on Uchiha Fire Feather Ninja Sword.

There is really nothing to be surprised about. The practice of ordinary ninjas attaching chakra to ninja tools will actually reduce their attack speed. This is determined by the degree of their mastery of the nature change. Ye Shan does not think that Uchiha Huoyu can skillfully practice the nature change of fire-attribute chakra.

You should know that the change of chakra nature involves the promotion to Jonin. According to the current regulations of Konoha Village, only ninjas who have mastered the change of chakra nature of two attributes can become Jonin. It can be seen how difficult it is to practice the change of nature.

The change in the nature of chakra is a condensed and enhanced version of chakra. Simply put, the power of ninjutsu released by the same amount of chakra will be greatly enhanced. This is also the main reason why the ninjutsu in the hands of the senior ninja can easily crush the middle and junior ninja.

As fire-playing experts, the Uchiha clan naturally mastered the nature change of fire attribute chakra, and there were more than one. Ye Shan alone knew of two types. The clan leader's family focused on temperature nature change, which would greatly increase the temperature of fire escape ninjutsu, causing the enemy to lose combat effectiveness if they were even slightly contaminated; the elders' family focused on vibration chakra nature change, using the high-speed vibration of fire attribute chakra to make ninja tools produce flames when they collide, thus injuring the enemy before they are prepared.

Uchiha Huoyu is the grandson of the second elder and belongs to the elder's line of ninja. It is natural for him to practice the vibration property changes, but no one knows to what extent he has practiced.

But since he dared to use it in public, he must have initially mastered the nature changes, otherwise he would undoubtedly become a laughing stock.

Uchiha Fugaku's face darkened. He had never been a magnanimous person. It would be strange for him to be in a good mood when he saw a promising ninja emerging from the lineage of elders.

Ye Shan saw Fugaku's expression clearly, but he didn't feel strange at all. Instead, he thought it was natural. The Uchiha clan is a tribe. They are naturally united in external affairs, and it is normal for them to be a little dirty internally. The struggle between the elders and the clan leaders has not been going on for one or two years, but for thousands of years! This factional struggle within the clan is very beneficial to a family. It can promote the fierce competitiveness within the clan. This competitiveness will force the ninjas to practice diligently, and ultimately lead to the strength of the clan to always be strong.

So, sometimes factionalism is not necessarily a bad thing, at least the Uchiha clan is the beneficiary. Otherwise, Uchiha Madara would not have achieved supreme strength to subdue the elders and truly unite the Uchiha clan.

After Uchiha Huoyu used the fire sword, his aura became violent, but it was condensed and did not disperse, giving him an attitude of "the world is mine with the sword in hand".

"drink!"

He lowered his body, put the fire knife behind his back, and with a shake of his left hand, he threw two kunai directly at Ye Yuefei's eyes. At the same time, he exerted force with his feet and rushed out like a cheetah. He swung the fire knife in his hand in a semicircle and chopped at the opponent's chest, intending to cut his turtle shell in one fell swoop.

Ye Yuefei's pupils shrank, and he finally became afraid. He didn't dare to take the opponent's fire knife head-on. He twisted the kunai with his waist and grabbed the opponent's wrist with both hands, trying to take the fire knife from the opponent's hand. Uchiha Huoyu's Sharingan in his eye sockets slightly turned to see the opponent's movements clearly. Seeing that he was going to take the knife with his bare hands, he sneered in his heart, changed the chop to the slash, and changed the direction of the fire knife to the opponent's armpit.

As long as he can cripple Yeyue Fei's arm, victory will eventually belong to Uchiha Huoyu!

Although Ye Yuefei is not very old, his reaction speed and physical skills are quite strong. He was not at all flustered when facing Uchiha Huoyu's sudden change of tactics. He clenched his right fist and concentrated all the chakra in his body on it. His fist instantly turned pitch black and smashed hard into the opponent's head.

If this were to hit him, not to mention Uchiha Huoyu, a Genin, even a Jonin would have to die on the spot, after all, a ninja's physical defense is no different from that of an ordinary person.

Uchiha Huoyu narrowed his eyes, his hands kept moving, and he turned around with his back to Yeyue Fei while exerting force from his lower limbs. At the same time, he took out a kunai with his left hand and stabbed it into the opponent's eyes, as nimbly as a rabbit kicking its legs.

Ye Yuefei couldn't be so flexible. His body was rigid and he focused on killing the enemy with one punch. Naturally, his flexibility was very poor. Seeing that his attack missed and the opponent's attack was about to hit him, he had no choice but to bend his knees and roll to the ground, dodging two attacks in a rather embarrassed manner.

"Humph!"

Uchiha Huoyu snorted coldly, and without hesitation threw the kunai in his left hand at the opponent. He jumped up with both feet, turned around again and turned head down, and stabbed several times with the fire knife in his right hand, which turned into a series of afterimages and stabbed at the Yeyuefei that was lying on the ground.

Ye Yuefei groaned in his heart, but did not dare to really take the opponent's attack. He obviously smelled danger from the fire knife. Seeing that he had nowhere to hide, he formed seals with his hands and planned to release ninjutsu to resolve the crisis.

But he forgot that Uchiha Huoyu's eyes were fixed on his hands. After sensing his intention, those scarlet eyes turned slightly and a ball of chakra shot into his brain, trying to disrupt the flow of chakra in his body.

Ye Yuefei only felt a flash before his eyes and his mind was in a trance for a moment. By the time he reacted, it was too late. The opponent's knife had already pierced his clothes, and even his skin felt a slight chill.

The fight between the two seemed long, but in fact it took only a few seconds. The spectators only felt that the two had just missed each other, and the tall Cloud Ninja was injured. As for the Uchiha clan's ninja, he was also panting and looked exhausted.

Ye Yuefei was filled with regret, feeling the pain in his back, knowing that he had underestimated the enemy. The wound was not shallow but no blood flowed out, because the flames helped him burn the flesh in the first place, which naturally stopped the bleeding.

A sense of sympathy between heroes arose inexplicably, and Ye Yuefei dusted off his clothes nonchalantly: "Uchiha Huoyu, right? I will remember you, you are an opponent worth killing."

"Same here, you are equally worthy of killing." Uchiha Huoyu said unwillingly.

"Haha, I'm going to use my strongest move now. I hope you can survive."

As he spoke, Ye Yuefei dissipated the hardening technique and without forming any seals, lightning appeared on the surface of his body. He was wrapped in sky blue chakra and looked extremely powerful.

Ye Shan narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the chakra on Yeyue Fei's body. He knew that this was the secret ninjutsu of the Hidden Cloud Village and the foundation of the Yeyue clan. He couldn't help but compare it with Hatake Sakumo's unique skill, Xiang Lei Sha.

The Thunder Killing technique uses the Lightning Chakra to stimulate the cells in the body to activate their activity and increase the speed of the caster, allowing the caster to burst out with unparalleled speed and kill the enemy in an instant. The ninjutsu performed by Ye Yuekai seems to be similar, but the chakra on the surface of the body may also play a role in protecting the caster's body, which is obviously better.

After all, the Hatake clan is a small ninja clan compared to the Night Moon clan, so it is normal that the power of the secret techniques they master is a little different. However, the requirements for the casters of the two are completely different. Xiangleisha requires the caster to be proficient in lightning chakra, and there is no physical requirement; and as far as Ye Shan knows, even the Night Moon clan with a large population base can only have a few people who are qualified to practice the ninjutsu of the Hidden Cloud Village. The most famous among them are the third generation Raikage and his son. It is rumored that they can fight against ninja beasts with their bare hands. They are really fierce. The reason lies in the physique of the caster. It is undoubtedly a pipe dream to practice ninjutsu without a strong physique.

Overall, the Xiang Lei Sha of the Qi Mu clan is better. The conditions for practicing it are not harsh, and when it is practiced to perfection, it is also extremely powerful.

Uchiha Huoyu knew that the battle had reached the most critical moment. He took a long breath to adjust his disordered breathing, held the knife in his right hand and reached into the ninja tool bag with his left hand, determined to delay for a while.

Any ninjutsu has its strengths and weaknesses, and there has never been a so-called perfect ninjutsu in the ninja world. The weakness of the Lightning Release Ninjutsu is obvious, that is, it brings extraordinary destructive power to the caster while greatly increasing his burden. It can only fight a blitzkrieg but not a protracted war. Uchiha Huoyu saw through this weakness at a glance.

As long as we can hold on through the first few minutes, the injured Cloud Ninja on the opposite side will be trapped in a jar, and we can then do whatever we want with him.

Under Uchiha Huoyu's gaze, Yeyue Fei started a new round of attack. Uchiha Huoyu only felt a flash of lightning in front of his eyes, and the enemy appeared in front of him like a ghost. Without thinking, he raised his right hand and slashed with the flaming ninja sword.

"Zira."

Amid the roar of thunder and lightning, Yeyue Fei disappeared again and came behind Uchiha Huoyu who kept chopping. With a grim smile, a fist wrapped in lightning hit his back.

"!!!"

Uchiha Huoyu was shocked. His Sharingan, which he had always been proud of, was completely unable to capture the opponent's figure. He bent his knees hastily and leaned forward. The flame of the ninja sword in his right hand dissipated and he put it close to his back, trying to use the ninja sword to block the attack.

"clang."

Uchiha Huoyu was pushed to the ground by the force and swayed face down. Ignoring his physical discomfort, he threw several shurikens with his left hand in all directions, trying to stop the opponent's pursuit.

But how could a hidden weapon like the shuriken interrupt Ye Yuefei's offensive rhythm? He jumped high without stopping, raised his right leg and smashed it down, aiming at the opponent's head.

Uchiha Huoyu just turned his head to look away from the ground, but saw a whip kick coming down from above. The chaotic air even blew his hair apart. He couldn't help but feel scared. He gritted his teeth and the ninja sword in his hand ignited flames again, and then exploded violently. A ball of fire rushed out in an instant, filling the small area between the two of them in the blink of an eye.

"boom!"

After the fire explosion, Uchiha Huoyu Chudao was half-kneeling on the ground, his upper body clothes were all gone, and the exposed skin was also burned, looking very embarrassed. As for Yeyue Kai, he was safe and sound under the protection of chakra.

Uchiha Huoyu was filled with fear. If he had not been quick-witted and detonated the flames on his ninja sword to block the opponent's whip kick, he would probably have been a corpse.

“What should I do, what should I do, what should I do…”

Uchiha Huoyu kept asking himself questions, eager to come up with a strategy to fight the enemy, but found that he had no way out. Shuriken throwing, fire escape, and ninja sword were all useless, and he couldn't even touch the opponent. His only hope was the Sharingan.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Huoyu put away his ninja sword, stood up with bare hands, staring at the other party with his eyes wide open.

The magatama in the Sharingan began to spin under the infusion of excessive chakra, appearing extremely enchanting.
