NABC Chapter 207 Waterthorn
Chapter 207 Waterthorn
Just as Sasuke was about to step forward to check on Danzo's condition as he lay on the ground, a premonition suddenly struck him.
He turned around quickly, only to be shocked to find Danzo's figure behind him, as if he had never been harmed.
Danzo's voice was cold as he said, "Now that you have demonstrated your power, let's decide the outcome of the battle with our eyes."
As soon as he finished speaking, Danzo pulled out another kunai from behind him. He then poured his Wind Release chakra into it, and the tip of the kunai quickly condensed into a sharp vacuum blade, pointing directly at Sasuke's waist.
......
In the deep forest outside Konoha Village, Boruto was taking down the Root ninjas one by one at an astonishing speed.
With each Root member falling, the remaining ninjas felt unprecedented pressure, and their attacks became chaotic, losing their original organization and coordination.
Under the cover of the forest, the last three Root ninjas realized that they might have to join forces to fight the formidable enemy before them.
They quickly gathered together, their hands rapidly forming hand seals, and they shouted in unison: "Wind Release: Wind Cutting Technique!"
As they activated their technique, a powerful current of air was summoned, forming a fierce gale, carrying leaves and dust, like an invisible blade, rushing towards Boruto's location, aiming to break through Boruto's defenses in one fell swoop.
In response, Boruto unleashed "Wind Release: Pressure Damage." Using his chakra, Boruto compressed the surrounding air into a high-density vortex.
Under Boruto's control, this compressed air mass stirred up the surrounding air, creating an even more violent storm.
This storm not only instantly crushed the ninjutsu used by the Root ninjas, but also exploded further, releasing a huge impact.
The three Root ninjas were directly impacted by this force, crashing through numerous trees like leaves swept up by a gale, and eventually collapsed from exhaustion deep in the forest.
Just after Boruto defeated three Root ninjas, he suddenly felt an unusual fluctuation behind him. He saw a huge crack suddenly appear in the ground beneath his feet, from which a substance that looked like purple gas was constantly gushing out.
Boruto observed the purple substance and quickly dismissed his earlier assumption.
These substances are not ordinary gases, because they exhibited clear conscious behavior, purposefully gathering towards his location.
Boruto mobilized his chakra and quickly constructed a lightning-style protective shield around his body.
The venomous insects tried to break through the protective barrier, but upon contact with the violent electric current, they were instantly torn apart and turned to ashes, posing no threat to Boruto.
Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the poisonous insects released by Aburame Torune, Yamanaka Fu silently approached Boruto from behind, ensuring that his actions went unnoticed.
When the distance was close enough, Yamanaka Kaze brought his hands together slightly, preparing to use his Mind Transfer Technique.
Yamanaka Fu knelt on the ground, concentrating his mind and focusing all his attention on the ninjutsu he was about to unleash. He aimed at Boruto's back and shouted in a deep voice, "Ninjutsu: Mind Transfer Technique!"
Immediately afterwards, Yamanaka Fu's chakra began to flow along specific meridians, preparing to invade Boruto's consciousness. If successful, he would be able to control Boruto's body, thus gaining an absolute advantage in the battle.
But Boruto's senses had already detected the approaching mountain wind.
The instant Yamanaka Fu activated the Mind Transfer Technique, Boruto reached forward and yanked sharply, using the threads he had laid out beforehand to pull the unconscious Root ninja on the ground behind him.
These Root ninjas became Boruto's temporary shield, standing between him and Yamanaka Fu, preventing Yamanaka Fu's ninjutsu from hitting Boruto directly, and instead causing it to land on these unconscious ninjas.
"Oh no..." Yamanaka Fu realized his mistake and cried out inwardly, but it was too late.
His Mind Transfer Technique had been activated, and his consciousness was forcibly transferred into the body of the unconscious Root ninja who had been pulled behind Boruto by threads.
As his consciousness shifted, his physical body lost control, collapsing helplessly to the ground and losing the ability to move.
Having witnessed the failure of their plan, Aburame Torune quickly adjusted his strategy, appearing above Boruto in a few swift movements.
Without the slightest hesitation, he concentrated all his strength into a single punch and fiercely struck Boruto.
Boruto noticed the bare upper body of the ninja who appeared above him. His skin was purple, a color that stood out starkly against Aburame Torune's skin, clearly indicating that his body was filled with deadly poison.
At the same time, Yamanaka Fu had already dispelled the mind-turning technique, allowing his consciousness to return to his body.
He quickly pulled a kunai from his sleeve, gripped it tightly in his hand, and followed closely behind Aburame Torune, rushing towards Boruto's direction.
Facing the combined attack of Aburame Torune and Yamanaka Fu, Boruto stood calmly in place, with tiny water droplets appearing around him. As the two approached, these droplets suddenly exploded in the air.
The water droplets transformed into countless sharp water spikes, shooting towards Aburame Torune and Yamanaka Kaze like a torrential downpour.
After being hit by the waterthorn released by Boruto, Aburame Torune and Yamanaka Fu felt intense pain in their hands, feet, abdomen, and other areas.
The two tried to struggle, but they discovered that the water thorns not only pierced their bodies, but also seemed to have some kind of paralyzing effect, making their bodies stiff and almost unable to move.
Aburame Torune did not give up. He gritted his teeth, concentrated his mind, and drove the poisonous insects residing in his body. Under his control, these insects began to slowly gather towards the water thorns that Boruto had conjured, and began to gnaw at them.
They wanted to use the chakra contained within to break free from the restraints they and Yamanaka Fu were bound by, as this was their only chance to escape their current predicament.
Boruto noticed Aburame Torune's actions and immediately reacted by releasing the electric current hidden within the waterthorn.
The electric shock instantly struck the newly gathered poisonous insects, paralyzing them and transmitting the shock to Yamanaka Fu and Aburame Torune, causing them to groan in pain and tremble uncontrollably under the impact of the electric shock.
Boruto, having observed the situation sufficiently, stopped releasing his purple lightning and calmly said, "So... can we have a proper chat now?"
