The bullets, like armor-piercing rounds, shot out with incredible speed and tore right through his body.
Boom!
Kiyosuke’s body vanished instantly.
Hozuki Genzuki reacted quickly—it had been a shadow clone.
He spun around just in ti to see Kiyosuke crawling out from the earth behind him.
"Yo, having fun over here?"
When did he get back there?!
He imdiately leapt back and shouted, "You hid underground with an Earth Style jutsu while attacking ?!"
"Of course."
Kiyosuke shrugged and grinned.
"So, you’re from the Hōzuki Clan, huh? That makes things easier. Lightning Style..."
As soon as he heard "Lightning Style," Genzuki flinched and retreated further. Lightning Style had a natural suppressive effect on the Hōzuki Clan’s hydrated bodies.
His opponent had already finished forming hand seals.
"Lightning Style!"
A massive punch followed—erupting into a wave of searing fire, nothing like the expected lightning strike.
"Water Style: Water Formation Wall!"
"You tricked ?!" Genzuki shouted, caught between shock and fury. The idea that he’d been made a fool of was hard to stomach.
At that mont, the girl they referred to as Lady i walked up, bringing Taketori with her.
"That’s enough, Genzuki. You can’t beat him," she said calmly. "This guy’s much tougher than we expected."
"Hmph, I was just caught off guard..."
Taketori scoffed. "Spare us the excuses, Genzuki. Don’t embarrass yourself in front of Lady i."
He turned to Kiyosuke. "Konoha shinobi—state your na."
"And what, just give it to you because you asked? What would that make , a pushover? Who do you think you are?"
Kiyosuke picked his ear lazily, clearly unbothered.
"You—!"
Taketori’s face flushed with anger, white bone spikes sprouting from his skin.
Kiyosuke gave him a look. "Ah, a Kaguya Clan mber. Your clan’s abilities are hell on clothes, huh?"
Every ti those bones popped out, the fabric tore. After each battle, a new outfit—what a hassle.
Pfft!
i chuckled and looked at him with amusent.
"You’re a funny one, Konoha ninja. We’re in the middle of a battle and yet—what are you thinking?"
"Your asurents."
Kiyosuke said it without hesitation, leaving the three of them completely speechless.
i’s face turned crimson. "That’s incredibly disrespectful to won!"
"I am respectful. But I’m also a certified perv!"
There was no sha in being an LSP. A real man owns his preferences!
"A beautiful lady like you, may I have your na?" Kiyosuke asked smoothly, with a polite bow and gentlemanly tone.
It was such a dramatic shift from his earlier punkish deanor that all three of them were montarily stunned.
"Um... I’m Terumī i," she replied hesitantly.
"Oh, thank you—wait, Terumī i?!"
Kiyosuke’s eyes bulged out of his skull.
This curvy young woman... was she really that i? The future Fifth Mizukage?
No way...
Ti really was sothing else. Even flat plains could beco towering mountains. Sa went for Pakura and apparently i here too.
Who would’ve thought soone this gorgeous would end up single for so long?
What a waste of national resources.
Was it because of her super-dangerous kekkei genkai that she couldn’t land a boyfriend?!
"You’ve heard of ?" i asked, eyeing him curiously.
"Nope. Never. Not even once. Sorry—my friend just called ho for dinner. Farewell, fair maiden! We shall et again!"
And with that, he grabbed Sahada and bolted.
Like hell he was going to fight three bloodline-limit users—especially when i alone had two completely different kekkei genkai. That was a death sentence.
Nope nope nope—I’m out!
"Wow, Lady i. Looks like your na carries weight in Konoha already. The mont he heard it, he ran," Genzuki comnted.
"I’ve barely just joined the war. How could I be well-known? That guy is definitely hiding sothing—we have to capture him! What are you waiting for?! Move!"
i didn’t think she was so kind of monster. She just wanted answers.
Watching Kiyosuke’s silhouette fleeing like mad, she found herself oddly annoyed.
The trio chased him for a while until he ca to a stop in front of a waterfall.
Taketori smirked. "What’s the matter? Done running? You were doing so well before."
"Tch, are you stupid? Are all Kaguya this dumb?" Kiyosuke raised Sahada and said, "I’ve already decided—I’m going all out. Co on!"
i gave him a look of admiration. Bold guy. But unfortunately, he was also her mission target. What a sha.
Taketori crossed his arms, white bone spikes sprouting from his fingertips.
"Shikotsumyaku: Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets!"
The bone projectiles shot out like bullets, punching through Kiyosuke’s body. Ten holes, all afla, were quickly repaired by blazing chakra.
i narrowed her eyes.
"Looks a lot like your clan’s secret techniques, Genzuki—immune to physical damage. But he’s not like your people. His regeneration uses chakra, not water."
The Hōzuki Clan could recover even from being shattered by absorbing moisture. But Kiyosuke’s body was elental. Without chakra, he couldn’t maintain that state, let alone regenerate.
"But with Sahada, chakra’s the one thing he’s not lacking," Genzuki added.
Many from the Hōzuki Clan were skilled in using blades. Even the founding of the Seven Ninja Swordsn traced back to their forr clan head—the Second Mizukage, Hōzuki Gengetsu.
Genzuki knew all about Sahada’s abilities. Anyone who wielded it would have a steady supply of chakra. Kiyosuke had clearly tad the blade, aning he could draw on its stored chakra at any ti.
Plus, Sahada could absorb chakra-based ninjutsu.
Their own attacks might end up fueling him instead.
And on top of that, Kiyosuke had a body immune to physical attacks.
Genzuki couldn’t think of a single weakness.
i nodded. "He can’t stay in that state forever. He’s different from you—his transformation burns through chakra fast. Even with Sahada, it’s only a matter of ti. We just need the right mont."
"Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Jutsu!"
She exhaled a thick cloud of mist, cloaking their positions.
Unfortunately for them, Kiyosuke imdiately countered with a Wind Style technique, blowing the fog away.
All three were gone.
"Hm? They ran?"
He narrowed his eyes. "No... they still think they can win. They wouldn’t flee so suddenly. But I sure can."
He smiled and glanced back at the waterfall—then leapt onto the cliff edge and sprinted straight down.
"Not good—he’s escaping! After him!"
The three of them had been lying in wait, hoping to find an opening.
But just as they were about to strike—he ran.
I’m outta here!
