Chapter 264 Sixth Gate, Open!

"It's time to hurry!" Sōseki murmured, and then took out a handful of shuriken from the ninja bag around his waist.

"Flying Thunder God Technique?" Mizukage narrowed his eyes, he is not unfamiliar with Sōseki's signature move.

"So, what are you going to do?" Sōseki threw the shuriken all around, and then his figure suddenly disappeared.

Almost at the same time when Sōseki threw the shuriken, Mizukage condensed dozens of ice shuriken and threw them out to each of the shuriken.

At the next moment, Sōseki's figure suddenly appeared in front of Mizukage. But before he could make a move, Mizukage also teleport and appeared on the opposite side of the barrier space.

It's almost as if the two sides are exchanging places at the same time!

Noticing this scene, Asuma and the others outside the barrier are all shocked.

"How is it possible? He actually avoided it!"

"Could it be that he can also use the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

"No, he built a layer of ice on himself, and then used the ice as a medium to teleport!"

"Don't be too arrogant, brat!" Mizukage said softly with a smile, "I can do the same thing too!"

This is exactly why he dared to delay time even with fighting against Sōseki. Both sides have mastered similar teleportation abilities, therefore, deciding the winner and loser within a short period of time is absolutely impossible.

Sōseki couldn't help but sigh, "As expected, compared with those Jinchūriki who can only use brute force, you Kage are indeed much more difficult to deal with!"

"Acting rashly without knowing the intelligence about the enemy is a taboo for Shinobi!" Mizukage's voice was cold and then he taunted, "Now, what are you going to do?"

"Under normal circumstances, I really can't beat you, but under the premise of the barrier restrictions, defeating you is not impossible!" Sōseki said calmly.

Just like in the Chunin Exams back then, he, who had mastered Flying Thunder God Technique was forced into danger by Nii Yugito. The reason was that the venue is too narrow, and the mobility of Flying Thunder God Technique would be limited by pure speed.

Eight Gates Technique, activated!

The Ryūmyaku Chakra in Yin Seal is equivalent to the refined Senjutsu Chakra, which means that he does not need to maintain the profound meaning of "stillness" all the time.

The explosion of the fifth gate and the increase from Sage Mode gave Sōseki a layer of blue aura visible to naked eye.

'What is that?' Mizukage's pupils shrank suddenly. As soon as his eyes blinked, Sōseki appeared in front of him instantly as if he has crossed through space.

Without time to think too much, he subconsciously moved into another ice crystal, however, just as half of his body was protruding from the ice surface, the blue aura also followed him like a shadow that follows the body.

'Are you kidding me? This speed...' Mizukage cursed secretly in his heart, and quickly retracted the protruding half of his body, and moved to another piece of ice crystals.

However, the situation was even worse this time. He only has half of his body out when he saw a fist was about to hit him, which frightened him to shrink back quickly.

Then, the two continue to repeat the process of teleporting and chasing.

In the eyes of everyone on the outside, this scene is inexplicably similar to a game called whack-a-mole.

And Mizukage is frantically on the verge of being beaten!

However, as expected of an old antique that has survived since the Warring States Period, Mizukage. After adapting, for him, Sōseki has become easier to deal with.

So that the style of the game has changed from "whack-a-mole" to "flying a kite".

'If this is the case, then the sixth gate, Gate of Wonder, open!' Sōseki took a deep breath, his aura soared, and the aura that coming out of his body turned golden-yellow.

After all, he has the experience of manipulating Might Duy's body and feeling the seventh gate in advance, which also makes the first seven gates have no secrets to him. For him, the real difficulty in training Eight Gates Technique lies in the strength of his body.

This is equivalent to learning Ninjutsu, but the result is an embarrassing situation where chakra is not enough.

He also only managed to barely reach this threshold with the increase from Sage Mode.

The Mizukage in the different dimension obviously did not notice the danger, and was about to repeat the previous process. After most of his body came out, he was sent flying by Sōseki's extremely powerful punch and hit the barrier heavily.

'Pufft! How did this brat's speed become faster again?' Even though he covered his body with a layer of Ice Release, which cushions most of Sōseki's strength, Mizukage still spat out a large mouthful of blood.

Sōseki naturally won't give him time to rest, but as he followed him like a shadow again, he threw another punch.

Mizukage was so frightened that he quickly moved to the different dimension. This time, he didn't rush out, but hid in the space to calm down instead.

Sōseki didn't care, and calmly rampaged through the barrier.

In this mode, his normal attacks can destroy those ice crystals at the deep level.

Mizukage, who is still in the different dimension, felt his heart tightened. He can sense that a large amount of his ice is disappearing. If he waited for a few more seconds, he might be lost in the different dimension forever.

However, he did not panic because of this, but calmly analyzed, 'The speed of that brat is too fast. I can't dodge it at all, however, the risk of staying in this different dimension is also very high, so the only way is to break the barrier as soon as possible! Only on an open and wide space can I truly take advantage of the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals!'

'But where should I start to break the barrier?' Mizukage thought to himself. To break the barrier, he must use Ninjutsu that need him to form hand seals, but no matter how fast his forming hand seals speed is, it will always take a certain amount of time.

Against ordinary people, the time he formed hand seals won't be enough for them to react, but if the enemy is Sōseki, he mustn't try his luck, which means that he must be prepared to withstand the opponent's attack during this period.

'Even if I covered my body with Ice Release, the limit it can withstand is only three to five attacks. Therefore, I must break the barrier with just one blow!' Mizukage spread his sense to the outside world and carefully observed the four people who formed barrier and then he muttered, "Wait, this guy's barrier..."

Under his sense, there seemed to be quite a large crack on the barrier where one of them was.

'Is it because of the previous devastating attack? Let's break through from him!' He is not worried that this is a weak spot deliberately left by the other party, because he can sense the crack is real.

Furthermore, he also collected the information of Sōseki's team, knowing that apart from a little Senjutsu, the other party is basically mediocre.

'In that case, this Konoha's Shinobi named Mizuki could not stop me!'

Thinking of this, Mizukage no longer hesitated. After putting on a layer of ice shield in advance, he protruded his body out from the ice surface.

Sure enough, as soon as he appeared, he was greeted by Sōseki's storm-like attack.

"Yes, that's it!" Mizukage did not resist, but took advantage of the situation and blown away.

He deliberately chose a spot in the middle of the line between Sōseki and Mizuki as the place to be beaten, just to shorten the time as much as possible.

"I win this round!"

Ice Release: Four Pillars!

The four ice pillars instantly shattered the built-in barrier guarding Mizuki, and then the ice pillars slammed into him unabated.
