Chapter 277: The Eruption of Shennong

The dark chakra circulated rapidly in the eight gates of Shennong's body, and the blood-red chakra aura rose into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, Shennong's figure disappeared into the depths of the forest in an instant. The next moment, he had crossed an extremely long distance and came in front of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen from the depths of the forest.

Looking at Shennong who exuded a compelling aura, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen immediately understood. It seemed that this was the reason why Lord Mizukage sent them together!

However, as all of them were Kage-level warriors, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen also had their own pride. Although Shennong's momentum had overwhelmed any of them, they did not feel any fear.

After all, they are the trump cards of the Hidden Mist Village, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen!

"Ninja Technique: Super Divine Fist!!!"

Shennong did not say anything else, but replaced words with his actual actions. With a flash, he instantly appeared between Saito Ying and Kizuna Chiba, then shot with both bows at the same time. His movements were as fast as lightning and knocked the two of them away at the same time.

Afterwards, Shennong dodged again and appeared diagonally above Biwa Juzang. He raised his right leg high and chopped it down fiercely like a sharp battle axe.

However, Saito Kage and Kizuna Chiba who were knocked away gave Biwa Juuzou enough defense. He held the hilt of the sword with his right hand, held the blade with his left hand, raised his Broken Sword·Decapitation, and blocked Shennong's whip kick.

However, Biwa Juzang underestimated Shennong, who had already opened the Death Gate and achieved the Eight Gates Formation. The beheading sword only lasted for one tenth of a second before it was broken into two pieces by Shennong's attack.

All I can say is! Broken Blade Beheading! It lives up to its name!!!

However, this short tenth of a second was enough for Biwa Juzo to activate the ninjutsu he had prepared.

He took the remaining half of the beheading sword in his hand and flipped the blade towards the leg that Shennong had chopped off. At the same time, Biwa Juzang formed the Tiger Seal with his free left hand.

"Water Style: Water Substitute!!!"

“Wow…!”

Shennong's kick, which came down with such fierce momentum, only caused a large amount of water to splash everywhere, but Biwa Juzang dodged in time and successfully avoided being seriously injured by the blow.

Shennong failed in his attack, but he didn't care at all. He flashed again and appeared in front of Wuli Jinpachi.

However, Shennong, who had already launched two attacks, had already made Murishinpachi fully prepared. The moment Shennong appeared in front of him, Murishinpachi directly launched his explosive sword ninjutsu.

"Explosive Sword Ninja Technique: Exploding Sword and Killing!!!"

Muri Jinpachi is a werewolf who is a little more ruthless than a human. He is not only ruthless to his enemies, but even more ruthless to himself. The detonating talisman extended from his Explosive Blade Feimo wraps up both himself and Shennong at the same time, and then explodes with a loud bang.

Endless explosions enveloped both Wu Li Jing Pa and Shen Nong. However, Shen Nong, who was at the center of the explosion, didn't care about the damage caused by the explosion at all. He endured the explosion and punched out, hitting Wu Li Jing Pa and making him spit blood and fly backwards for a long distance.

All this happened in less than three breaths.

Shennong's three attacks defeated the four ninja swordsmen and achieved outstanding results.

I have to say, the Eight Gates Formation is so terrifying...!

However, at this time, the Xiguashan Puffer Demon's ninjutsu was already ready!

"Water Release·Big Explosive Water Wave!!!"

The surging water continuously gushed out from the mouth of the Xiguashan puffer ghost, rushing and roaring with endless impact force, forming a spectacular water curtain, and swept towards Shennong in a mighty manner.

In an instant, an extremely huge ellipsoidal water prison, with the Xiguashan puffer ghost as the center, appeared half-suspended above the forest.

"Grand Sword Ninja Technique and Samehada Fusion!!!"

"Water Style: Water Prison Same Dance Technique!!!"

Immediately afterwards, Xiguashan Puffer Ghost merged with Samehada without any hesitation, and activated his strongest half-merman form.

The tail behind the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost swung in the water, and then like a gray lightning, it rushed towards Shennong at a very fast speed. With the help of the shark fins grown on its elbows and back, its huge body, which was fused with the shark muscles, not only did not encounter any obstacles in the water flow, but it also increased the speed of the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost in the water by more than one level!

-----------------

Hmm... let's talk about the issue of Shennong opening the Death Gate.

In the movie, Shennong is set up like this.

Shennong's original "Forbidden Medical Technique: Flesh Reincarnation" can make him not afraid of the side effects of death in this state, and all his eight gates are open. However, his strength is indeed a bit hard to describe. Although he does not know Might Guy's "Evening Elephant" and "Night Guy" two super-standard physical techniques, he is not that weak. At least he should be about the same as Might Guy.

But in reality, Shennong was beaten up by Naruto and Sasuke in the early days of Shippuden. The Eight Gates of Ninja Array with all eight gates fully opened was like a joke in the movie version, and Xiao Li was about to cry when he saw it...

So, either the animation team didn't figure it out and deviated from Kishimoto's setting, causing conflicts between the beginning and the end, or they forced Shennong to be killed in the plot...

Of course, it is also possible that the Eight Gates Ninjutsu that Shennong secretly learned has problems and is not a complete version?
