Izumi pointed at him and said, "Do you feel like these Exploding Tags hurt a lot when they explode?"
Ason'i came back to his senses and said, "You're right, it really hurts. It's not like ordinary Exploding Tags."
Izumi showed a satisfied smile and said, "That's right, I'll keep using these Exploding Tags from now on!"
Ason'i sneered, "Hmph, I won't fall for it so easily! Even if you turn into paper, your main body will still get hurt if attacked, right? Your upper body recoiling during the explosion is the best proof."
Izumi smiled sinisterly, "Oh, you're right, very observant. However, my tags are also set up. I won't talk to you anymore. Fire Release: Exploding Flame Array!"
Izumi slammed her hand on the ground, and countless Exploding Tags appeared again, rushing towards Ason'i at a speed much faster than before.
Ason'i was greatly surprised: "Weren't all the traps gone? When did... Oh, right, when she transformed into paper just now, she broke into three sections. One section exploded, and another section sent the tags into the ground? Talking to me just now was to buy time to set them up! Damn it, if that's the case..."
He glanced at Izumi, then, disregarding the Exploding Tags on him, quickly ran towards Izumi.
"Hm?" Izumi froze for a moment, then immediately detonated the Exploding Tags. Ason'i was injured again and fell to the ground. But he immediately got up, ignoring his wounds, and ran towards Izumi.
Izumi watched him run towards her and said, "Troublesome, he's so fast! Is he trying to get close to me so I can't detonate the Exploding Tags? He looks so strong, but he's quite cunning!"
"However, I'm not weak either!" This time, Izumi used spiritual power, concentrating a large amount of it in her palm, and her palm collided with his fist.
"Raiton Ninjutsu: Raiyaku Tsuribito!"
"Spiral Palm!"
The two attacks collided, creating a huge impact.
"Hm, she actually blocked my fist. And, why does her attack make me spin!" Ason'i realized that Izumi not only blocked his attack but also made his arm constantly want to rotate.
Izumi stabilized her stance, then put all her strength into a one-inch punch. All her power, Chakra, and spiritual power flowed through her arm, constantly rotating and surging towards Ason'i.
"Not good!" Ason'i directly spun and flew out, spitting out a large amount of blood. He then broke countless trees, finally rolling on the ground and carving a long, deep trench.
Izumi was very satisfied with this move. When combined with martial arts, it was the so-called "Spiral Force" often seen in novels!
Izumi planned to research "Wave Force" later to see if she could develop it.
However, Izumi looked at her hand, which was slightly fractured again. She shook it vigorously, then used a healing talisman to speed up recovery. Combined with the Senju Clan bloodline, she recovered very quickly.
"Ah! Damn it! How is this possible! How could I be defeated by a young girl!" Ason'i's entire right arm was also fractured from that last blow. Even with his extremely powerful physical defense, he was severely injured.
He clutched his right hand, unable to move, and roared in disbelief: "Damn it!"
A large amount of Chakra surged through his body, and with bloodshot eyes, he charged at Izumi.
Izumi only saw an afterimage disappear from its original spot. By the time she reacted, she found him already by her side.
"Hm! So fast!" Izumi quickly transformed into paper to dodge the punch and intended to turn the paper into Exploding Tags to wrap around him again.
But before the paper could touch him, he disappeared. He continued to punch towards Izumi's head.
Izumi hurriedly used the special bandages with talismans inscribed on them to form a shield to block, but she was still sent flying by a punch.
Izumi hadn't even landed yet when he reappeared behind her and kicked her.
The part of Izumi that was hit continued to turn into paper.
"No! I can't keep taking hits like this. He's looking for my main body. If I keep transforming, it'll be dangerous." Izumi directly created countless paper clones to confuse his vision, but they were all dispersed by him.
The sky full of Exploding Tags just couldn't hit him.
"Damn it! The paper is too slow in the air!" Izumi's Sharingan constantly analyzed his movements and dodged his attacks.
"Divine Movement Talisman!" Izumi combined the Divine Movement Talisman with the Exploding Tags, and sure enough, the speed increased by more than one level.
Ason'i was bombarded again, but after the explosion, Ason'i used the same trick again and ran towards Izumi.
Izumi could only dodge, not daring to let the Exploding Tags explode, fearing they would hit herself.
Izumi was a little disappointed when she saw that the ink didn't stick to him, but then she saw that after the explosion, the ink disappeared into his Lightning Chakra, which made her a little confused.
But she didn't have time to think much and quickly dodged his attack.
"No! I can't go on like this!" Izumi's Sharingan looked at his Lightning Chakra Mode and thought, "Nin-Taijutsu, a move that requires years of training to use. What would happen if I used it?"
"Let's try it!" Izumi recalled the flow and usage of Chakra throughout his body when this person used Nin-Taijutsu.
So she immediately mobilized lightning-style Chakra to cover her entire body, but a sharp pain instantly came.
"Ugh! It hurts! But it doesn't matter, with spiritual power added, my Chakra control is very strong. I can learn Ninjutsu very quickly, and with Divine Ink and spiritual power constantly tempering my body, my body should be able to adapt."
After several quick attempts, Izumi finally succeeded.
This time, her entire body changed color, becoming light blue, and a large amount of Chakra emanated from her. However, very quickly, the excess Chakra returned to her body.
At this moment, Izumi did not have a large amount of lightning Chakra emanating from her entire body like him, but rather had just the right amount of lightning Chakra covering her entire body. Her hair, entwined with lightning Chakra, floated in the air. At this time, night had fallen, and Izumi appeared incredibly sacred.
"Ah, my whole body aches."
Izumi endured the severe pain and then charged at Ason'i.
"Hm! So fast!" Not only Ason'i but even Izumi was surprised. She wasn't used to this speed, overshot, fell to the ground, and kept rolling, and this state also disappeared.
Ason'i looked at Izumi like this and said in disbelief, "How is this possible! Not even the Sharingan could possibly learn this move! Suddenly practicing this move, not only does it require enduring immense pain, but the signal transmission of the entire nervous system can also become disordered, leading to severe consequences, ranging from incontinence to paralysis.
And why does she look different from me! And her speed is too fast!"
Izumi stood up and said with a smile, "Again!"
"Crack! Zzzzt~" Izumi's body changed color again. Izumi suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. This only strengthens speed and power; the defense is not strengthened much. If I want to strengthen defense, I need to cover my body with a large amount of Chakra like them. However, this would increase defense and attack, but slightly decrease speed. That means I need to adjust speed, defense, and attack power through the distribution of lightning-style Chakra."
The state on Izumi's body disappeared. She clutched her neck and said, "Your move hurts so much to use."
Ason'i asked gravely, "Have you learned this move before?"
"No." Izumi smiled, "Today's the first time."
"Is that so." Ason'i closed his eyes, then suddenly opened them and shouted loudly, "How is this possible! How could she learn our move so quickly!" He charged at Izumi recklessly.
"Zzzzzzt——" Izumi's entire body changed color again, then she dodged his attack. She looked at her hand, glowing with a faint blue light, and smiled confidently, "Hehehehe, this time I used it more skillfully than before. Thank you for your move, I've become stronger. There are still many ways to develop the use of lightning, it seems."
