Chapter 173: Attacks Like Hell Stab

Toroi swiftly took out specially crafted square Shuriken from his ninja tool pouch, then infused them with Magnet Release Chakra.

Under the control of Magnet Release Chakra, Toroi merely waved his hand lightly, and the Shuriken flew toward Kakashi like a rain of arrows.

Unlike other Magnet Release users, Toroi had refined Magnet Release into a control skill. He could infuse unique Magnet Release Chakra into the Shuriken, so that once touched, the body would be magnetized and then unable to move as he controlled it.

Although Kakashi didn't touch them with his hands, the weapons were magnetized and transmitted directly to his body, just as if they had been touched.

With this supreme control technique, Toroi had killed numerous Jonin. Anyone who didn't know about his abilities would easily fall victim.

"Yumi-sensei, his Shuriken are strange, don't try to block them with weapons." Kakashi quickly warned, seeing the mysterious Shuriken attacking again, worried that Mutsuki might fall victim like him.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson!"

Mutsuki spewed out a large flame, then quickly threw out a large number of Shuriken. The Shuriken, burning with high-temperature flames, were like small fireballs with blades, exceptionally powerful.

Boom!

The Shuriken thrown by Toroi were all instantly blocked, and there were still many small fireballs continuing to smash towards Toroi and Oka Nozomi.

The two immediately dodged to avoid the fireball attacks.

"Such powerful Fire Release." Toroi, surprised to see all his Magnet Release Shuriken intercepted, remarked.

His Magnet Release Shuriken had two uses: one was pure control, which consumed less chakra, and the other was to consume more chakra to enhance the power of the Shuriken. Just now, he had used the latter.

"I'll engage in close combat, you find an opportunity," Oka Nozomi said resolutely, pulling out the long sword from behind her back.

Mutsuki seemed like the type of ninja particularly skilled in Ninjutsu, so Oka Nozomi wanted to create an opportunity through close combat.

Their Hidden Cloud Village excelled in Lightning Release NinTaijutsu. The Konoha ninjas might not use Fire Release, but the ninjas from the Land of Lightning's Hidden Cloud Village were almost all proficient in Lightning Release NinTaijutsu.

"I'll provide timely support," Toroi once again took out many square Shuriken. Under the control of Magnet Release Chakra, the Shuriken floated around him, ready to be thrown at any moment.

With a burst of chakra from her feet, Oka Nozomi used the Body Flicker Jutsu to swiftly approach Mutsuki.

Seeing the enemy intending to engage Mutsuki in Taijutsu, Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief. Mutsuki wasn't a one-trick ninja. Although his Ninjutsu was strong, his Taijutsu skills were also commendable.

As she closed in, Oka Nozomi immediately infused a large amount of lightning-chakra into her sword, enveloping it in blue electric light, crackling incessantly.

"Do you want to compare NinTaijutsu? I also know a little," Mutsuki chuckled, silently switching from Stone Breathing to Thunder Breathing.

"Thunder Breathing, Total Concentration Breathing, Lightning Release:Shigan!"

Dazzling electric light burst from Mutsuki's hand, accompanied by the terrifying aura from using Total Concentration Breathing.

Faced with the incoming sword, Mutsuki chose to extend his right hand and point.

One hand wrapped around the sword crackling with lightning, while the other was a finger charged with lightning.

Sizzle!

A tremendous electrical noise erupted, a blue light bursting between the two, dispersing some of the surrounding darkness.

Bang!

The sword, surrounded by dazzling electric light, rapidly shattered. Under the immense force, Oka Nozomi was violently sent flying, smashing several large trees before coming to a halt.

Oka Nozomi's eyes were filled with incredulous astonishment. She couldn't believe that her proud NinTaijutsu had been so completely overwhelmed.

Mutsuki's sword-breaking technique with just a finger reminded Oka Nozomi of their Hidden Cloud's Third Raikage. The Third Raikage had a technique called Hell Stab, also a NinTaijutsu using fingers. When using only one finger, it was known as The Strongest Spear, a terrifying NinTaijutsu that not even tailed beasts could withstand.

"It's impossible. How could a Konoha ninja master Hell Stab? If it were the One-Finger Nukite, I would already be dead," Oka Nozomi reassured herself, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

It's worth noting that not even the Third Raikage's child could master that terrifying NinTaijutsu.

While Oka Nozomi attacked, Toroi didn't remain idle. He manipulated Shuriken from the other three sides towards Mutsuki, complementing Oka Nozomi's frontal assault with an all-around attack.

However, Toroi hadn't expected Oka Nozomi to be defeated so quickly, almost being sent flying in an instant.

What surprised Toroi even more was Mutsuki's subsequent display of speed. Mutsuki evaded all the Shuriken at a speed Toroi couldn't follow. His Shuriken couldn't even touch Mutsuki's clothes.

"Amazing! So fast!" Kakashi, who could only watch, couldn't help but marvel.

Just now, he was worried when he saw Mutsuki not using his super speed to dodge and instead directly confronting the enemy's sword with his finger. However, Mutsuki's Taijutsu skills turned out to be even stronger than Kakashi had thought!

Kakashi couldn't even see Mutsuki's movement speed just now. He only felt that Mutsuki had moved many times in an instant, dodging all attacks perfectly.

After sighing, Kakashi felt puzzled. Could the Academy need such a powerful sensei? Isn't it just teaching simple Taijutsu and the Three Basic Jutsu?

Comparing like this might seem a bit heartless, but Mutsuki's demonstrated strength could easily surpass his previous sensei.

"Haha, it seems like your companion is no match for Yumi-sensei at all," Obito laughed, sensing the commotion on Mutsuki's side.

"Talking about this now is too early" Rokubi, although feeling uneasy, chose to trust Toroi.

In order to quickly deal with Obito and help Toroi, Rokubi intentionally exposed a flaw, causing Obito to retreat step by step. He waited for Obito to make a move and then planned to take him down with a single strike.

"Yumi-sensei, I'll come help you soon," Obito felt he was about to finish off the enemy in front of him.

"Don't get too cocky. What's in front of you isn't a sparring partner, but an enemy trying to kill you," Kakashi couldn't help but remind.

"Damn Kakashi, can't even move himself and still wants to command me," Obito cursed inwardly, but indeed followed Kakashi's instructions, becoming much more cautious in his attacks.

He didn't want to embarrass himself at such a crucial moment. Once it's over, he definitely planned to mock Kakashi for a while.

"Oka Nozomi, do your best to distract him," Toroi ordered with a serious expression, then summoned two giant Shuriken, each over a meter long, from a scroll.

He was about to use his ultimate move, but due to Mutsuki's recent display of speed, Toroi was worried about hitting his target.

First, Toroi used Magnet Release Chakra to magnetize the giant Shuriken, then infused them with a large amount of lightning-chakra, creating two high-speed rotating giant Lightning Release Shuriken.
