Chapter 104: Flaw?
"Boom!"
With a dull thud, all six Mist Ninja Jonin were killed, leaving Koshino's Blade Squad with only one enemy to face—Biwa Jūzō!
Complete advantage!
After the six Mist Ninja Jonin died, Koshino's Blade Squad indeed turned the tables and gained a comprehensive advantage.
After all, even though Koshino and Uchiha Shisui were still within the blood mist, Biwa Jūzō was also bound by the Shadow Realm's arrival, unable to fight as he normally would!
Moreover, what difference does it make even under Juzo's blood mist technique?
With the Shadow Communication Technique, Koshino and Uchiha Shisui completely ignored the effects of the blood mist.
Perhaps, with just one more Body Flicker Technique from Uchiha Shisui,
Biwa Jūzō, a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, would fall to the combined efforts of Koshino and Shisui, securing a complete victory for the Blade Squad in this battle!
However, until Biwa Jūzō was dead, Koshino's expression remained grave.
He knew that every member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen was not easy to deal with, so recognizing the opponent's strength was crucial.
Just like the Fuguki Suikazan Koshino had defeated before!
Was Fuguki Suikazan weak?
Definitely not!
If it weren't for Koshino's sudden burst of power, with his mental energy reaching a semi-"substantial" state!
If it weren't for Koshino's familiarity with the original storyline, knowing the many secret techniques of the wielder of the Great Sword Samehada.
Then the one who would have died miserably in the end would have been Koshino!
No matter how you look at it, those "ifs" were indispensable.
Without one, Koshino would have fallen to Fuguki Suikazan, resulting in his death under the formidable strength of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen!
Of course, dealing with Biwa Jūzō in front of him didn't seem that troublesome to Koshino either.
Not to mention, under the binding of the Shadow Realm's arrival, how much of his strength could Biwa Jūzō actually use?
Just with Koshino and Shisui working together, there was a fifty percent, even sixty percent chance of defeating an elite Jonin like Juzo,
as long as the Blade Squad didn't suffer any casualties, killing the wielder of the Executioner's Blade!
However, that fifty to sixty percent chance came with a premise, which was that Koshino could still fight!
Because of this, Koshino's expression grew even more serious, especially when he felt the limited amount of chakra he had left. He couldn't help but think to himself:
"The first drawback of using the Shadow Realm's arrival seems to have appeared."
"Because I've never used the Shadow Realm's arrival before, I was a bit too excited when I initially grasped its usage, and I seem to have consumed too much chakra to expand its range!"
"Clearly, I only needed to use a portion of my chakra to expand the Shadow Realm's arrival to cover a hundred meters around me. But because I was too excited, I expanded it to two hundred meters. Even though the Shadow Realm's arrival doesn't consume much chakra, I'm still facing a shortage now!"
"At most... maintaining the Shadow Communication Technique and Wind Perception, I can only fight for three more minutes!"
"No, I need to discuss this issue with Shisui!"
"Otherwise, the situation I've worked so hard to create might completely collapse!"
After a quick analysis, Koshino maintained the use of the Shadow Realm's arrival and communicated mentally with Uchiha Shisui, saying, "Swift, I can only hold on for three more minutes. Are you okay with that?"
"Three minutes? That's plenty!"
With the help of Koshino's Shadow Realm's arrival, Uchiha Shisui had already swiftly killed six Mist Ninja Jonin and was evidently full of confidence.
Especially when looking at Biwa Jūzō, who was also bound by the Shadow Realm's arrival, Uchiha Shisui's lips curled into a slight smile as he replied mentally to Koshino,
"Shadow, as long as you can maintain this technique and keep Juzo bound, I won't need three minutes. Just half a minute, and I can finish the fight!"
"Alright, the battle isn't over yet, so I won't waste any more time with you."
"Next up,"
"let's wait for the show to begin!"
"Whoosh!"
As soon as Uchiha Shisui finished speaking, his figure suddenly vanished from the spot.
Clearly, after communicating with Koshino, Shisui of the Body Flicker was still brimming with confidence.
Because if he couldn't kill Biwa Jūzō even under the constraints of the Shadow Realm's descent,
he would truly feel too ashamed to face Koshino, let alone have the face to call himself the captain of the Blade Squad!
Naturally, seeing Shisui of the Body Flicker so confident, Koshino breathed a slight sigh of relief.
To be honest, although Koshino was still maintaining his explosive state and his spiritual energy was at a half-step "qualitative" transformation, even he didn't know how long this burst could last.
So, as long as Biwa Jūzō's Blood Mist Technique hadn't dissipated, Koshino was under immense pressure.
Therefore, hearing Shisui say he could resolve the battle in half a minute, Koshino, maintaining the Shadow Realm's descent, was certainly much more at ease.
But in the next second, a scene that made Koshino's heart skip a beat, almost leaping from his chest to his throat, unfolded as Shisuis flashing figure was reflected in Koshino's pitch-black eyes!
Because just as Shisui of the Body Flicker confidently used the Body Flicker Technique to appear in front of Biwa Jūzō, ready to slice his throat with a short sword, he was unexpectedly counterattacked by Biwa Jūzō!
"Bang!"
It was a broken blade!
It was the Executioner's Blade!
Almost the moment Shisui of the Body Flicker appeared, thinking Biwa Jūzō was immobilized and couldn't retaliate, Biwa Jūzō wielded the Executioner's Blade with a slash, forcing Shisui back!
So, not only was Shisui stunned, but even Koshino was left standing there in a daze.
At that moment, only one question filled Koshino's mind.
Why could Biwa Jūzō move his body despite being bound by the Shadow Realm's descent?
On the contrary, Biwa Jūzō seemed completely unconcerned about the previous counterattack, still staring disdainfully at Koshino and Shisui.
And just as Koshino and Shisui were puzzled as to why Biwa Jūzō could still counterattack despite being restrained, Biwa Jūzō's calm voice echoed in their ears!
"That little Anbu kid, turns out you're from the Nara Clan of the Leaf Village."
"So young and already able to improve the Nara Clan's secret technique, truly talented.
No wonder our village values your Blade Squad so much, saying we must bring back the heads of you four brats. I might have been curious before, but seeing how you use your secret technique, I understand a bit now."
"It turns out the real intention of the village was to have me come and eliminate you new generation geniuses!"
"What a pity! New generation geniuses are always just new generation geniuses!"
"I suppose Nara Shikaku of your Leaf Village's Ino-Shika-Cho trio has mastered your secret technique, and will surely study its characteristics thoroughly to use it against enemies, right?"
"Kid, haven't you noticed? As your secret technique's range expands, the binding power of your Nara Clan's secret technique weakens.
Just like those few fools earlier, they clearly had the ability to counterattack, but died at the hands of another kid because they realized their feet couldn't move and were too tense to react, not realizing their upper bodies could still move."
"And me? Biwa Jūzō! Obviously, I wouldn't be as foolish as them!"
"Moreover,"
