"Such strong self-healing ability!"
Yakumo was secretly shocked at this moment.
She was also a dojutsu bloodline ninja, so she keenly noticed the rapidly healing wound on Karin's arm at the first moment.
After this first round of confrontation, both sides were surprised.
Haku, observing from the side, sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect Yakumo to hide so deeply. If those who challenged her before knew this, I wonder what they would think..."
In the village, Yakumo had been challenged by others.
Not to mention the distant past, recently Sasuke and Chino had challenged Yakumo. Whether responding to challenges or facing real fierce battles, Yakumo only used 'Wood Release' to meet the enemy, giving the impression that she only had 'Wood Release' as her strong point.
Now watching Yakumo unleash her full strength, Haku realized belatedly that Yakumo actually hid so many trump cards, including 'Space-Time Ninjutsu'!
On the field.
After a brief standoff, both sides moved again.
It was still Yakumo who attacked first, and she still activated 'Wood Release'!
Obviously, 'Wood Release' was top-tier, whether in offensive capabilities like attack power and range, or in auxiliary capabilities like crowd control and vision obstruction.
Facing the 'Wood Release' activated by Yakumo, Karin didn't easily use 'Shinra Tensei' this time, but also activated 'Wood Release', countering the sea of trees with a sea of trees.
After knowing that the opponent mastered a 'Space-Time Ninjutsu', no amount of caution was excessive.
As both activated 'Wood Release' simultaneously, in an instant, the entire coast seemed to shake. The ground cracked inch by inch, countless thick branches rose from the ground, converging into two waves of tree seas, and then attacked each other with the force of mountains toppling and seas overturning.
Rumble...
In a short while, the colliding tree seas emitted bursts of roar!
Countless branches squeezed, entangled, and tore at each other, turning the entire coast dark. The coastal cliff was completely unrecognizable, and even the sea was full of churning tree seas.
In the distance.
The few members of the Hidden Leaf patrol team looked at each other in dismay.
"Is... is this still a ninja?"
"Why do both 'B' and 'D' of the Akatsuki organization master 'Wood Release'?"
"Captain, should we retreat a bit further!"
The team members chattered, their faces full of shock.
The Chunin captain of the squad, looking at the gully on the ground that cracked from the distant battlefield to his feet, was no less shocked than the team members.
He could be considered to have seen many ninjas, but such a great battle, let alone seeing it with his own eyes, he had never even heard of it before!
"Re... retreat further!"
Coming back to his senses, the Chunin captain hurriedly issued an order.
In the field.
Two tree seas strangled each other in darkness, while the casters Yakumo and Karin calmly observed each other in the tree seas.
Even though the surrounding rocks were collapsing and the sea was churning, there was no trace of strange expression on their faces.
Swish swish swish...
Just then, Karin's face suddenly sank, discovering three Yakumos shuttling through the gaps of branches simultaneously, pouncing towards her.
"Shadow Clone!?"
She frowned slightly.
Because with her Rinnegan's insight, she couldn't distinguish which of the three simultaneously pouncing Yakumos was real and which was fake for a moment.
Large-scale 'Wood Release' attacks couldn't stop Yakumo, who was skilled and familiar with 'Wood Release', so in just a few leaps, all three Yakumos successfully passed through the obstruction of the tree sea and pounced in front of Karin.
Since she couldn't distinguish, Karin didn't bother to distinguish and went straight to meet them.
Three Yakumos attacked her from the left, middle, and right directions respectively. while meeting the middle Yakumo, she spread her arms.
Seeing this, the middle Yakumo quickly formed seals with both hands: "Wind Release: Wind Cutter!"
Whoosh...
Instantly, a wind blade attacked Karin.
Karin, who spread her arms, shouted at this time: "Bansho Ten'in!"
Swish...
In an instant, the two Yakumos on the left and right were sucked by the suddenly appearing suction force into Karin's hands.
Then, Karin used the two Yakumos sucked by 'Bansho Ten'in' to block in front of her, catching the incoming wind blade!
The wind blade slashed on the two Yakumos captured by Karin, immediately making two muffled poof poof sounds. However, the white smoke of Shadow Clone dispelling expected by Karin didn't rise, but a splash of blood sprayed out.
"Not Shadow Clone?!"
Karin was startled.
At this time, she found that the two Yakumos captured in her hands, after being heavily injured and bleeding by the wind blade, not only didn't disappear but swelled up.
"This!?"
Whether it was the Rinnegan's insight into chakra or the warning feedback from 'Kagura Mind's Eye', Karin realized something was wrong.
But at this time, she found she couldn't throw off the two swelling and deforming Yakumos captured in her hands anymore.
Boom...
Soon, the two swelling and deforming Yakumos in Karin's hands exploded, and the huge dust cloud swallowed Karin completely.
Undoubtedly.
This was Yakumo using another ability of the 'Koryugan'!
One must know that the 'Koryugan' was fused by Shinji using 'Susanoo's Lamp' from the top-tier 'Ketsuryugan' and the top-tier 'Hogan'. So it not only possessed all abilities of the 'Hogan' but also all abilities of the 'Ketsuryugan'.
It was just that Yakumo rarely used the pupil techniques of the 'Koryugan' except for insight and perception to cover up the 'Koryugan' before.
Now that Yakumo unleashed her full combat power without scruples, she naturally activated the blood-related series of abilities in the 'Koryugan', directly detonating the two blood clones captured by Karin!
Swish...
Seeing her success, Yakumo leaped into the dust cloud, wanting to pursue the victory!
But just as Yakumo rushed into the dust cloud, a hand suddenly shot out, quickly grabbing her neck and lifting her up.
When the dust cleared, the owner of this hand was revealed.
It was none other than Karin!
The explosion just now was intentional by Karin. When she realized the Yakumos in her hand were about to explode, she secretly activated the Rinnegan's ability, absorbed the chakra on the two Yakumo blood clones, weakened the power of the explosion, then withstood the explosion, and used the dust raised by the explosion and the briefly disordered chakra fluctuations to interfere with Yakumo's dojutsu, luring Yakumo to take the bait.
Sure enough, Yakumo pounced over seeing the situation, just to be captured by her in one fell swoop.
Karin looked at Yakumo in her hand and said: "I win!"
Yakumo, whose neck was grabbed by Karin, said: "That's not necessarily true!"
With that, Yakumo quickly swelled and deformed!
"This one is also fake?"
Karin was surprised, but her hand movements were not slow, directly stabbing a black rod to control the swelling and deforming Yakumo.
Swish...
Just then, she felt a space-time fluctuation beside her and subconsciously turned around.
But just halfway through the turn, she realized the real threat came from the front. It turned out that what Yakumo activated 'Red Dragon' to swap space with was not Ido lurking behind Karin, but the blood clone controlled by the black rod in front of Karin...
