Chapter 252: Battle of Master and Disciple (Part 2)

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the blink of an eye, everyone saw Yu and Third engaging in countless close Taijutsu encounters.

Although Yu, with his Second Stage Haki and the abilities of the Thread Fruit, was nearly invincible in close Taijutsu combat at the same level, Third, wielding the Adamantine Staff, was skilled and experienced enough to barely maintain the upper hand.

"This won't do if it continues like this..."

Yu hadn't even unleashed his most powerful Puppetry Jutsu yet. With only his Taijutsu skills and the abilities of the Thread Fruit, he had already reached such a formidable level. Seeing Third, who was wielding the Adamantine Staff, gradually retreating, Yu's expression couldn't help but darken.

"Summoning: Adamantine Prison Wall!"

Quickly analyzing the situation in his mind, Third's Adamantine Staff suddenly extended violently, forcing Yu back a step. Seizing this opportunity, Third transformed Enma into several dozen clones.

All the nearby ninjas only saw dozens of gigantic Adamantine Staffs descending from all directions, surrounding and trapping Yu within them. This Adamantine-like cage was absolutely indestructible. Once caught inside, the enemy could only experience the humiliation of defeat within this cage.

"It's useless..."

"I won't be trapped by such tricks!!"

However, as Yu found himself surrounded by dozens of Adamantine Staffs, he felt the Adamantine Staffs closing in around him. At that moment, the power of the Thread Fruit and the Lightning Release Chakra erupted simultaneously.

Thread Storm!!

Lightning Release: Chidori Stream!!

Amidst the shocked gazes of everyone present, Yu, trapped within the cage of Adamantine Staffs, spread his hands apart. Countless sharp black threads burst forth from his body, spreading out like a storm from his center.

Moreover, violent lightning entwined around these Armament Haki-enhanced black threads, their terrifying power directly tearing apart the Adamantine cage created by Enma's Clone Jutsu.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball!!"

"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!!"

"Combination Jutsu: Fire Flowing Earth Flaming Bullet!!"

However, Third also knew that it was impossible to easily trap Yu like this. Seizing this opportunity, he successfully distanced himself from Yu. With hands forming seals at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people, he simultaneously unleashed two different Ninjutsu, Fire Release and Earth Release, instantly forming a new Combination Ninjutsu.

"Roar!"

The ground beneath everyone's feet trembled wildly. A tremendously massive earth dragon rose into the sky, its huge mouth continuously spewing out large flaming balls of earth towards Yu, its fierce momentum seemingly dyeing the sky above crimson.

"So... such formidable Ninjutsu..."

"Truly worthy of Third Hokage-sama!!"

Seeing Third's pinnacle Ninjutsu before them, nearly all the Konoha ninjas present showed expressions of admiration.

As the longest-serving Hokage in Konoha's history, Third had rarely had the chance to demonstrate his skills in times of peace. Now, being able to witness the extraordinary Ninjutsu of the legendary Ninjutsu Professor firsthand, all the ninjas present couldn't help but be filled with admiration and longing.

"We haven't used Ninjutsu to duel in a long time..."

"Today, I'll surpass you, the god of Ninjutsu, using the Ninjutsu you taught me!!"

Facing the continuous barrage of earth-flame balls descending upon him, Yu, after breaking free from the cage of Adamantine Staffs, demonstrated no less speed in forming seals with his hands than Third.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Biting Explosion!!"

"Lightning Release: Chidori Shattered Stars!!"

"Combination Jutsu: Lightning Water Dragon Explosion!!"

Utilizing the water environment created by the Hard Vortex Water Blade he had just used, after performing the jutsu, Yu quickly gathered all the water dragons in the lake behind him, instantly forming a gigantic roaring water dragon that surged forward violently.

Moreover, in the next moment, Chidori resonated in Yu's darkened palms, instantly condensing a large amount of violent lightning, which he casually directed to strike the gigantic water dragon charging forward.

The S-rank secret technique of Water Release Ninjutsu combined with the elevated Lightning Release Ninjutsu of Chidori, erupting with raging electric currents throughout his body, Water Dragon Biting Explosion, directly collided with the Combination Jutsu released by Third.

Boom!

It was a breathtaking clash of Ninjutsu. Almost every ninja in the vicinity felt as though the ground beneath their feet was about to be torn apart by the Ninjutsu of Yu and Third. Water, fire, lightning, earth—the four attributes of Ninjutsu intertwined and fiercely clashed before their eyes.

"Truly worthy of being Third Hokage-sama's disciple..."

"Yakushi Yu's Ninjutsu proficiency has reached such an astonishing level..."

Watching this pinnacle showdown of Ninjutsu before them, the surrounding Konoha ninjas were almost forgetting where they were, transfixed by the spectacular and formidable collision of Ninjutsu before them.

"Oh no!"

"He used a Ninjutsu combination of Water Release and Lightning Release, perfectly countering my Ninjutsu combination of Fire Release and Earth Release!"

Just as everyone was awestruck, they witnessed Yu's Thunderous Water Dragon overpowering Third's Flame Bullet of Fire and Earth Release, completely engulfing him in its tremendous power.

"You should be well aware of my Chakra attributes... You were too careless, Sarutobi-sensei."

As Yu watched Third being submerged by the Thunderous Water Dragon he unleashed, the starlight flickered in his amber eyes.

"Hokage-sama?!"

Seeing Third unexpectedly losing in the Ninjutsu duel against Yu, all the Konoha ninjas present exclaimed in shock.

"What are you all standing around for?!"

"Why aren't you going up there and taking him down?!"

Sensing the reactions of those around him, Konoha Elders Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu immediately issued stern commands.

"Go! Take him down first and help Hokage-sama!!"

Hearing the orders from the two Konoha Elders, the Konoha ninjas hesitated for a moment before swiftly advancing toward Yu.

"Take me down?!"

"With just you bunch of amateurs?!"

Sensing the group of Konoha ninjas charging towards him with Observation Haki, Yu's lips curled with deep disdain. Amidst the puzzled gazes of everyone, he lightly snapped his fingers!

Air Door!!

Super Pressure Cannon!!

The immense doorway to another dimension opened instantly before Yu, and the Pressure Cannon, fully charged by Tyrant, had already been condensed within.

With a deafening roar, the group of charging Konoha ninjas felt their breath hitch as a terrifying shockwave of a bear paw exploded before them, sending them all flying viciously!

"Damn it... it hurts..."

"He hid Puppetry inside Space-Time!!"

After a moment of disorientation, the group of Konoha ninjas lay scattered on the ground, unable to articulate their shock as they gazed at the gigantic bear-paw-shaped crater created by Tyrant's strike.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

At the same time, a burst of dazzling lightning erupted from Yu's body. Before the eyes of all the ninjas present, he vanished in an instant, followed by several violent collisions, sending about a dozen ninjas flying with just a snap of his fingers.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Yu, completely enveloped in darkness, unleashed all his strength, employing Taijutsu and Lightning Body Flicker to charge into the midst of the army of Konoha ninjas. Like a tiger among sheep, a series of screams echoed out as numerous ninjas were sent flying by his strikes.
