Chapter 101: Slugs and Snakes and the Immortal Body (Part 3 )
Two days later at noon, on the deck of the sailing ship "Foxfire" (named after Kyuubi).
Under the guidance of Giyu, Hozuki Suigetsu continued to practice the basics and he is now training the basic steps to swing the sword.
Ranmaru sat on the side of the boat, basking in the sun while giving a full-body massage to Kyuubi who was resting on his knees. While moving his fingers, he felt the sea breeze brushing against his hair and cheeks, which was very comfortable.
For him, this is still a brand new feeling -
In the past, Kurosuki Raiga was always worried about Ranmaru getting sick or being killed by other ninjas. He was almost always by his side, and the two of them were rarely apart more than 2 meters apart.
Although most of the time, this kind of close contact gives Ranmaru a sense of security, But it is always a lot of inconvenience to lie on another person's back and be hidden in a backpack like cargo, not to mention This sense of powerlessness continues to devastate his heart.
Now Ranmaru is sitting in a wheelchair. Although he still needs help from others for many things, he can maneuver the wheelchair by himself and can free his hands to do other things (such as petting the fox). This seemingly insignificant sense of autonomy made him feel more powerful than before.
At least, he can actively control some things in his life, and can get along with and communicate with more creatures.
This means that he begins to accept the influence of more people and experience a variety of widely different values and worldviews, which is very important for children of Ranmaru's age.
"You're lazy."
Giyu's calm voice came from the mast, attracting Ranmaru's attention.
This was not meant for him.
"When the blade is raised to the highest point, your right shoulder will be one centimeter shorter, and the path of the blade will be offset."
After hearing the teacher's correction without any emotion, Suigetsu, who was holding the wooden blade above his head through gritted teeth, groaned.
He didn't have the extra energy to respond to Giyu, but he still adjusted his movements according to the latter's wishes. His slightly tilted body immediately regained balance, and then he immediately swung the blade.
The whirring sound of the wooden sword as it punched through the air was like a giant's breathing. Although it was unpleasant, it was very clear.
Ranmaru could tell that the sound and rhythm of each swing of Hozuki Suigetsu's sword were almost exactly the same, like a copy-pasted soundtrack, which was completely different from the chaotic sounds he made when he first started training two days ago.
Giyu's dull voice came again: "That's it. This is your 1,206 swing."
Hozuki Suigetsu continued to sweat like rain.
precise!
This was the unique impression that Giyu had on Hozuki Suigetsu, and it was also his biggest gain from these two days of practice.
At the beginning, when Giyu fine-tuned Suigetsu's movements - such as the height of his shoulders, the angle of his wrists and the distance of his steps, Suigetsu felt that he was mechanically dogmatic, ignorant of flexibility, and perfectionistic. He suspected that Giyu did not want to teach him his true skills, which is why he repeatedly dwells on these details.
But later results proved that a small detail change in the process of swinging the blade can bring about unexpected changes.
For example, by slightly raising the height of his shoulders, Hozuki Suigetsu's maximum number of sword swings per day increased by more than 2,000 times, greatly reducing the wear and tear on his joints.
Another example: the wrist is slightly buckled, and the position where Hozuki Suigetsu holds the sword moves downward by less than a fingernail, and the power of swinging the sword increases by at least 1\/3.
....
He has learned how to use a sword from his elder brother Hozuki Mangetsu since he was a child. His understanding of sword skills was completely overturned by Giyu.
In Giyu, the blade is no longer a simple tool, but can be as precise as an arm or even a finger to an outrageous level. It is a real extension of the body!
This kind of robot-like observation and calculation ability made Suigetsu amazed and convinced, so he no longer resisted when practicing, so he made rapid progress.
Except that towards the end of each training session, his movements would be slightly deformed due to physical fatigue, there was almost no need for Giyu to remind him.
"That's it for the day's training."
After completing another 1,206 vertical chops, Hozuki Suigetsu heard Giyu's call to stop and immediately showed an expression of relief.
"Great! Now my arms are sour!"
He fell down with a thud.
Hozuki Suigetsu's body hit the deck, trembling for a while like jelly blown by the wind, and then returned to its original state.
Another manifestation of Giyu's precise calculation ability - he knows the physical limit of Hozuki Suigetsu, so he always lets Suigetsu stop his training at his limit.
Under the influence of the transparent world, the loss and repair of Hozuki Suigetsu's muscles, bones, lactic acid, and even cells cannot be hidden from Giyu's eyes, so he will always train Hozuki Suigetsu until his strong energy is consumed, but he does not let him do overtraining, it will only increase hidden injuries.
anyway.
Hozuki Suigetsu, who closed his eyes to recover his strength, was enjoying the comfort of the sea breeze taking away his sweat, but suddenly felt that the light was blocked.
He opened his eyes suddenly, only to find that Giyu had come to him without knowing when. He was looking down at him quietly with his eyes like black holes, with a serious expression like an attending doctor inspecting a patient who disrespected the doctor's instructions.
"Teacher?!"
Hozuki Suigetsu, who had always been timid, was so frightened that he slightly deformed. He stood up like a carp and hid behind the mast with a whoosh, looking at Giyu cautiously.
There was nothing I could do about it. Against the light and in the shadows, Giyu looked like a corpse that had just crawled out of the grave, especially when he was silent and motionless.
"Did I do something wrong?"
[This guy's personality is a bit similar to the yellow-haired boy next to Tanjiro...]
Giyu stared at Suigetsu, and suddenly remembered that every time he talked to Nezuko during his lifetime, that guy always glared at him but didn't dare to come over.
[They are all very good at saying... Maybe sleeping is more reliable than waking up? ]
"You did nothing wrong."
He was too lazy to correct the issue of address.
Giyu was silent for a moment, and then said dully: "I have something, and I want to ask you for advice."
"Me?" Hozuki Suigetsu pointed to his face in disbelief.
Giyu nodded affirmatively.
[Please give me some advice? ]
Hozuki Suigetsu rolled his eyes, and he really couldn't think of anything he could teach the teacher about.
Although he didn't see the Guyu battle with Kurosuki Raiga with his own eyes, In terms of swordsmanship, Giyu should not be much different from his elder brother, and maybe he is stronger than him.
As for ninjutsu, I don't know as much Water Release as Giyu does, let alone give him advice.
….
[Hey, wait? Water Release? ]
Hozuki Suigetsu was stunned for a moment, thinking of the most valuable thing about himself, and asked doubtfully: "Teacher, do you want to learn the art of hydration?"
As soon as this idea appeared, it quickly came to Hozuki Suigetsu's mind. There are branches and leaves inside.
Yes, yes!
If the teacher is interested in the art of hydration, he can just exchange this art with the opponent's sword art that can control water flow!
As for the "Family Secret Technique" that is not allowed to be passed down to others, Hozuki Suigetsu doesn't care. After all, it will take several years for him to practice the hydration Technique to the level of his brother, but it is not as beneficial as a set of sword techniques that can be used once he learns it.
He stared at Giyu's somewhat surprised face, feeling that he might have guessed it right.
Thinking of the other party's poor bargaining ability, Hozuki Suigetsu thought that as long as he made the hydration technique more precious, he would be able to easily obtain that set of sword skills!
[Teacher, don't blame me for being mean! ]
However, Hozuki Suigetsu had just formulated the expression "How can this be passed on to outsiders if this is a family skill?" Before he could speak, Giyu spoke first.
"Did you say this? I've known about it for a long time."
Giyu stretched out his right arm and activated the two chakra properties of water and yang at the same time. The outer part of the arm immediately became transparent, and then the material changed from flesh to flesh. The soft jelly was soaked in, and the whole arm drooped as if the bones had been taken away.
Giyu shook his hand again, and his arm immediately returned to its original shape.
"I just don't know what the use of this technique is."
Because Hozuki Suigetsu's hydration technique is at this level, and since Giyu is using him as a reference, he can only do it at this level at most. For the moment, he can't think of any other uses for this technique besides being beaten. Damage avoidance and other functions.
When Hozuki Suigetsu saw this scene, his eyes widened and his mouth opened up with a barrage of questions.
"How did you do it? I shouldn't have taught you, right? Did I say something to you in my dream?"
No wonder Hozuki Suigetsu was so surprised. He has been living a hard life without being able to eat solid food since he was five years old. In life, I have to practice day and night for four or five years to reach this level.
But when Giyu saw him a few days ago, he didn't know anything about this technique. He definitely started practicing after that day, but now he behaves not much different from him. No matter how he learned it, this efficiency was really beyond his understanding.
"It's just an observation."
Giyu said with a confused expression, "I don't want to learn, but I'll know it once I see it."
"I have learned medical ninjutsu. It is not difficult to combine the changes in the properties of water and yang."
"It is not difficult." The words "It's not difficult" knocked Suigetsu to the ground, and he stared at Giyu for a while, deciding to skip this topic quickly to avoid jumping into the sea without thinking clearly.
"Then what you said you wanted to ask me for advice is..."
Hozuki Suigetsu couldn't think of anything else that he should be concerned about.
"I want to learn..."
He hesitated, as if he was considering his words, and it took him a long time to complete the second half of the sentence: "The secret of chatting with people."
This one of the biggest reason why Giyu is very envious of Hozuki Suigetsu because he and Ranmaru did not know each other, they only got along for two days, but they could talk endlessly with each other, as if they were a pair of old friends who had not seen each other for many years. Even Kyuubi's relationship with Hozuki Suigetsu is better than his.
When he thinks that there are more companions who will get resurrected, and their temper is not very gentle (mainly referring to Iguro Obanai). Giyu is worried that if he is still as silent as he was in his previous life, he will be misunderstood and disliked again.
Therefore, he must prepare in advance. After all, the rest of the other companions can't fully understand his difficulties like Rengoku Kyojuro.
"This is what you want to ask me?"
Hozuki Suigetsu was a little disappointed.
"Um." Giyu nodded seriously.
Hozuki Suigetsu touched the back of the head silently.
Sure enough, the teacher can really not speculate on common sense.
Because Hozuki Suigetsu talks too much, Hoshigaki Kisame said that he was not suitable for ninja, and threatened to cut his tongue. How can this be any advantage to the teacher?
"Are you unwilling to tell?"
Seeing that Hozuki Suigetsu never answered, Giyu asked again.
"This is not a problem that is willing or not …"
Hozuki Suigetsu's face is tangled, and he can start chatting with people naturally. This is his talent. He himself does not know what process it is. How can he teach others?
Seeing this, Giyu decided to give him some benefits: "Basic training tonight can be changed to actual combat."
Hozuki Suigetsu has always asked this from him.
"I see!"
Hozuki Suigetsu suddenly got an idea after hearing Giyu, and his right hand fists hit his left hand.
"All those who have participated in the spy course have all learned how to chat with other people! Although it is a bit formulaic, it is very useful to get information! "
"Please tell me in detail."
Although "Spy's Chatting Skills" sounds very purposeful, it is definitely a good start for Giyu.
Giyu took out the notebook he used to study Water Release, and started to write on it.
Obviously in his mind, "the secret of how to chat with others" and "the secret ninjutsu of the Second Hokage" are on the same level.
"There is no need to write it, it's actually very simple, just three steps."
Hozuki Suigetsu held out three fingers, "The first step is to find something randomly in your field of vision as a topic."
He glanced at the wooden blade on the ground: "Such as this."
Giyu understood.
"The second step is to use this wooden sword as the core to express your opinion or tell a story about yourself."
"Story?" Giyu drew a question mark on the paper, "What kind of story?"
"Well, it depends on the impression you want to leave on the other party."
Hozuki Suigetsu gave another example:
"If you want to ease the atmosphere, or show weakness to paralyze the other party, you can tell an embarrassing story about yourself. For example, the first time I used a real sword, I cut off a section of my eldest brother's toe. He had not mastered the art of hydration at that time, so he found several medical ninjas to reattach the toe."
...
"On the other hand, if you want to intimidate and threaten or want the other party values you or admires you, you can tell them about how you killed Hidan and Hoshigaki Kujira. Remember, what you say depends on the impression you want to leave on the other party."
Giyu nodded, quickly recorded in his notebook, "I see."
[However, if I want Kocho and Tokito to like me, what kind of things should I say? ]
"When you finish talking about yourself, it will naturally come to the third step."
Hozuki Suigetsu continued: "Generally speaking, if the target is interested in what you say, he will easily take over and talk about his own affairs in exchange. Or leave a comment. Just continue along the direction of the topic. If he is not interested, then find another thing within the field of vision to serve as the core of the topic..."
Hozuki Suigetsu looked left and right, and slowly walked to the side of the ship. On the side, "For example, if he is not interested in blades, then the sea is also a good topic, especially for those guys who have never seen the sea. They will believe whatever you say..."
He looked down at the outside of the boat, his voice which was getting louder and louder suddenly started to become smaller and smaller, he said uncertainty: "Teacher, I remember two days ago, there were four sharks chasing us."
"Hmm." Giyu raised his head, "What's wrong?"
Or is this a chat teaching? a part of?
"Something's wrong."
Hozuki Suigetsu squinted his eyes and pointed to the sea below. "Two days ago there were four, and now there are still four. Isn't it too coincidental? Have they been following the ship?"
After observing carefully for a while, Hozuki Suigetsu suddenly became more excited: "No, no, no, something is really wrong! Did they change a batch of sharks, or did the previous sharks just get bigger? They look so scary!"
Giyu saw that He didn't have the same playful smile as before. Knowing that something was wrong, he suddenly appeared next to him and cast his gaze into the sea.
Four pale fish fins reflected the sunlight, swimming close to the side of the boat like a patrol. Below the sea surface, there were four huge gray-white shadows.
Giyu's face darkened slightly. Because the notch on one of the shark's fins was exactly the same as he had seen it two days ago. But the only difference is the size and color!
But Hozuki Suigetsu was right, these were the sharks that had been following them.
But in just two days, these sharks not only grew more than doubled in size, but their skin also changed from gray-black to zombie-like pale.
This familiar sense of déjà vu made Giyu have the worst possible association!
"It's blood."
Giyu grumbled.
Hidan's blood dropped on the sea that day and attracted sharks. There should be four of them. They most likely swallowed the polluted seawater.
Hidan's blood was actually more contagious than Kibutsuji Muzan's own blood, and even animals were not immune to it!
"It was Hidan's blood that mutated them."
"What?" Hozuki Suigetsu didn't understand, but Giyu had already taken action.
A water whip shot out from his palm, rolled up the torso of a shark, and pulled it up. The huge pale body landed between him and Hozuki Suigetsu with a roar.
After the shark landed, its muscular tail nimbly slapped Giyu, but it was firmly held down by more water whips and could not move at all.
....
"Why do this shark's teeth look like this? It's so scary..."
Hozuki Suigetsu exclaimed, looking curiously at the six-meter-long behemoth.
The teeth of this white shark are not jagged like ordinary sharks, but curved fangs like those of land beasts, and there are five rows. Just one look at the bloody mouth is enough to make the bravest fisherman' legs and feet tremble.
In addition, what makes the appearance white is not shark skin, but densely packed tiny scales, which sharks should not have.
However, the most disturbing thing is the opponent's vertically striped eyes, which are different from those of fish and look like a ferocious land predator.
Although it was stranded on the deck at this time, tightly bound by the whip of water and unable to move, its cruel eyes reflected the bodies of Giyu and Hozuki Suigetsu, as if they were launching a terrible curse. It has a trifling strong vitality even being out of the water, it is not the weekend in the slightest bit.
"The scales are grown to reflect sunlight and help them survive in direct sunlight. It should be related to the fact that they are always floating on the water to track us."
As Giyu said, he stretched out a water blade from his fingertips and pointed at the shark. He made a small incision on his abdomen, carefully examined the wound, and made a quick judgment.
"Same as Hidan, its wounds are recovering slowly."
"Is it because they are stained with that guy's blood?"
Hozuki Suigetsu looked at the box Giyu hung on his waist in disbelief, which contained Hidan's head.
"Well, they are evolving and becoming a kind of monster."
Giyu nodded solemnly, "More adaptable to the environment, more ferocious, more tenacious, and more deadly."
"Then they are chasing us because..."
"Either They want more blood from Hidan."
Giyu's voice suddenly became colder, and his eyes were colder than before: "Or... their diet changed from fish to humans, and we happen to be the closest to them."
"Intentional!" Hozuki Suigetsu covered his mouth.
Even ninjas are afraid of man-eating monsters. This is an instinct written in their genes.
At this point, he understood why Giyu cared so much about Hidan's head and said it couldn't be lost no matter what.
Just a few drops of blood can make these sharks look like this in just two days. If they fall into the hands of a ninja who has mastered chakra...
"Will people become like this if they are stained with his blood? Or Is it… Is it more controllable?"
Hozuki Suigetsu suddenly had a lot of ideas and was a little eager to try.
Giyu's eyes immediately turned sideways: "If you have such an idea, I will have to kill you."
Hozuki Suigetsu was startled, and suddenly remembered the first time the two met, and Giyu asked him if he eats humans.
"I'm just asking, just asking!"
He sneered and took two steps back.
Giyu turned back and pondered silently.
A few drops of blood can mutate these sharks to this point. I can't imagine what the shark that ate Hidan's body must look like.
[Why didn't you think of killing the shark summoned by Hoshigaki Kujira at the same time? ]
While feeling deeply remorseful, he scanned the shark's body with the transparent world.
...
Sweeping, Giyu's movements suddenly stopped, and his eyes stopped under the fish's gills.
Hozuki Suigetsu followed Giyu's line of sight and found nothing unusual.
"Teacher, what's wrong?"
"We have to cut it open here."
Giyu pointed out and stretched out the water blade to attack, but this time Hozuki Suigetsu was faster.
"I'll do it, I'll do it!"
Hozuki Suigetsu, who was happy to show off, followed suit and grew a ten centimeter chain saw-shaped water blade from his fingertips - this was the best he could do at the moment.
After smiling with satisfaction, he controlled the water blade and stabbed where Giyu pointed.
But something surprising happened - after Hozuki Suigetsu's water blade hit the shark's newly grown scales, the smooth feeling of a hot blade cutting into butter did not occur. Instead, it was blocked by the thin fish scales for a moment. Then it broke through the first layer of obstruction and really entered the flesh!
"What's going on? Teacher, didn't you just cut in easily?"
Hozuki Suigetsu didn't believe in evil and tried again, but the result was no different from before. He acted like a crappy novice fisherman.
"Isn't the defensive ability of this shark a bit strong? According to me, the Hoshigaki clan can change to a new batch of summoning beasts in the future."
"No. Get out of the way first."
Giyu tried it himself under the watchful eyes of Hozuki Suigetsu. Once, the process was extremely easy.
After several times in a row, Giyu finally found out the clue - it was not that there was any difference between the two water blades, but that his chakra was slightly more than that of Hozuki Suigetsu!
Unlike Hozuki Suigetsu, as soon as Giyu's chakra touches the scales on the shark's body, the latter has already begun to decay and die!
His chakra and Suigetsu's chakra were to this shark like what the Nichirin Sword and the regular sword was to Demons.
That extra natural energy is the key.
Only the natural energy he obtained through breathing techniques could weaken the shark's skin and damage it faster.
This means that, let alone fishermen, even if ninjas encounter this "demon-shaped" shark, the power of their ninjutsu will be greatly reduced.
No matter what the relationship between Hidan and Kibutsuji Muzan was - his blood was obviously more dangerous than Kibutsuji Muzan's own blood.
There was no time to answer Hozuki Suigetsu's doubts.
Giyu raised his blade, cut open the skin under the shark's gills, and took out a pair of red organs the size of fingertips.
Compared with the huge size of the shark, this crimson organ is too small.
"What is this?"
Kyuubi, who was watching the excitement, jumped up and came to the top of Giyu's head, his tone was a bit disgusting.
Such an ugly fish doesn't taste good at first glance. It prefers grilled octopus.
Giyu replied concisely: "These are its lungs."
"This..."
Ranmaru, who slowly pushed the wheelchair over, said, "A shark is a fish, so it shouldn't have lungs, right?"
"It shouldn't have scales either. ."
The fire ignited in Giyu's hand without warning, burning the pair of organs into a charred black mass.
"Its lungs have just evolved since I dragged it onto the deck."
After saying that, he puffed up his cheeks, and fierce orange flames spurted out from his lips, instantly covering the extremely tenacious "demon shark".
....
However, it seems that the fire of this temperature is not enough to completely destroy it. The shark is no longer restrained by the water whip and begins to struggle violently, biting the nearest Giyu with its bloody mouth.
Giyu flew up and kicked the shark into the air, and then spit out a golden-orange flame dragon head from his mouth. The blazing light almost blinded the eyes of Hozuki Suigetsu and Ranmaru.
"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"
The intense fireworks with a temperature far exceeding the melting point of steel hit the shark.
The latter turned black in an instant, then melted, exploded, and turned into dots of flaming fragments, falling on the deck and the sea.
Fortunately, the fireproof panels used to build this ship played their advantages and were not intended to be ignited by sparks.
One is solved and three are still in the sea.
"You guys go into the cabin first. I have to kill these sharks completely, not even a little bit of living tissue can be left behind!"
"I got it! Just be careful!"
Seeing the unmistakable look in Giyu's eyes, Hozuki Suigetsu hurriedly nodded and pushed Ranmaru to leave.
But at this moment, this expensive but very strong sailboat trembled violently as if it had hit a rock!
Giyu, Hozuki Suigetsu and Kyuubi were able to maintain their shape despite the violent shaking, but Ranmaru fell out of the wheelchair during the violent tilt. Fortunately, Giyu stretched out the water whip in time to tie him up and hold him in arms!
"There is something under the boat!"
Kyuubi warned: "It's not human! There is no chakra reaction!"
Otherwise it would have noticed it before.
Giyu's first reaction was that the shark that swallowed Hidan's body might have sensed it, so it came to the door.
But he guessed wrong!
Three monsters with big mouths poked their heads out of the sea, accurately biting the three mutated sharks in the sea, and led them up until they were as high as the top of the mast!
Giyu took a closer look and found that the uninvited guests were actually three giant snakes of the same color!
They throw the sharks higher like humans throwing peanuts, then open their mouths wide and wait for them to fall!
"This is too outrageous!"
Hozuki Suigetsu was amazed. The width of the snout of these three-headed snakes alone far exceeded the body length of those mutated sharks. I couldn't believe how majestic their underwater parts must be! Even this ship looks so small compared to them!
Giyu frowned when he saw that the targets of these three snakes were the mutated sharks.
It's still unknown if Hidan's blood will be re-infected, so he can't risk letting a more powerful creature swallow them!
He handed Ranmaru and Kyuubi to Hozuki Suigetsu, and his body disappeared immediately. He jumped into the air and drew out the chakra blade with his right hand. He summoned the water blade with his left hand and slashed out two high-speed rotating water blades, one left and one right. The wheels, like two giant Fuma shurikens, swept towards the high necks of the three giant snakes!
Snakes react quickly.
Except for one of them whose neck was cut open in half, and blood poured down like red rain, the other two dodged in time and were only scratched.
But no matter what, their eating activities can't continue, which is what Giyu wants.
....
Stepping on the top of the mast and looking up to the sky, Giyu used Fire Release for the third time today: "Fire Release: Great Fire Extinguishment!"
Boom!
The raging flames that were so hot that they turned white swept away everything around them.
The three big snakes were affected, screaming and falling into the water. The three falling sharks disappeared completely as if they had evaporated!
At this point, what Giyu was most worried about was finally stopped.
The huge waves caused by the falling of the three big snakes extinguished the sails and masts that had been ignited by the fire, and a deathly silence fell on the deck.
Everyone knew that the three snakes would not die so easily. They escaped into the water again, but they were even more terrifying than before!
Sure enough, they didn't wait long.
The sea surface boiled, and then was separated by a thick and long tail -
it suddenly rose from the water, and then crashed towards the center of the sailboat like a toppling tower. The shadow it cast alone occupied the entire ship's average length!
Hozuki Suigetsu screamed, and he hugged Ranmaru and ran for his life in a hurry. However, the speed of his tail was too fast, and the mast collapsed.
At the critical moment, the Nine Tails on Suigetsu's shoulder angrily waived its right paw upwards, and a huge red claw mark appeared out of thin air, leaving three horrific, which were bloody and fester, as if they were poisoned by some kind of vicious force. The medicine has been corroded.
The giant snake's tail paused for a moment as if it had been stung by a poisonous scorpion.
But it was this moment that brought life to the people on board.
At the same time as the mast collapsed, Giyu fell straight from the air. The blue water wave cut the thick snake tail in two, and then turned around and kicked: "Constant Flux!"
A translucent aqua dragon tail was thrown out as Giyu turned around. It hit the broken snake tail hard, smashing it into the sea water and disappearing.
This is Tenth Form: Constant Flux. Although its power is limited, it is more convenient and can be used every time it is rotated.
The three terrifying monsters disappeared without a trace again, and the sea became as calm as a mirror.
"What is that!"
Hozuki Suigetsu patted his chest in fear, "I have never seen such a big snake in the Kingdom of Water!"
"That can't be..."
Giyu thought of the size of the snake, casting a questioning look at Kyuubi, who shook its head disdainfully.
[As long as it's not a tailed beast. ]
Giyu suddenly felt much more relaxed. This was the second time he had seen a creature of this size.
"Be careful. Although they are injured, it is still easy to destroy the ship from underwater."
Giyu looked at the deep water under the ship, but could not see anything.
"No, they are not around. I feel those malicious waves suddenly move away."
"Did they escape?" Hozuki Suigetsu said in surprise!
If that were the case, that would be great.
"No," Kyuubi raised its paw and pointed to the north, "They seem to be standing over there..."
The three people on the boat looked to the north in unison, with different expressions, unable to figure out the purpose of the three giant snakes.
But immediately, as waves suddenly surged in that direction without warning, Hozuki Suigetsu's face suddenly turned pale!
In the area where the Firefox was located, the seawater began to struggle excitedly as if it suddenly came to life. The waves rose and fell, and the entire sailboat rocked left and right like a cradle.
….The sea in the north seems to have grown taller, like a gray-blue mountain peak, but the Firefox seems to be floating at the foot of the mountain.
"It's a mad dog wave!"
Under the fear, Hozuki Suigetsu's voice was sharp and thin, "Those three snakes are making huge waves! This ship will never be able to sustain it!"
"Calm down."
Giyu looked back at him, He temporarily stopped Hozuki Suigetsu's screams, and then looked blankly at the huge wave that was like a high wall of progress!
The huge wave was like the slap of Poseidon, hitting them with an unstoppable attitude, like a mountain moving sideways and collapsing.
As expected of snakes with the most powerful sense of self-preservation, they just suffered some moderate injuries and immediately fled far away, using the waves to retaliate.
The hundreds of meters high wave was getting closer and closer, launching the last and most terrifying charge.
Giyu understood that at this rate, the ship would be shattered into pieces the moment it hit the waves.
But he wasn't worried about everyone's safety.
On the contrary, Giyu looked at the waves without any fear.
Because there is no place more suitable for water breathing than here.
"Stand still."
Giyu turned around and ordered, then walked to the bow of the ship alone.
"Teacher, what are you doing? If you want to die, let's die together, otherwise I'll be so scared!"
Hozuki Suigetsu hugged Ranmaru and Kyuubi tightly, and was ready to be beaten to death.
Giyu said nothing. He tapped the bow of the boat with his right foot, and his whole body rushed out like raindrops blown by the storm.
Immediately afterwards, Hozuki Suigetsu was surprised to see Giyu actually...flying on the sea?
In fact, Giyu is not flying, but using Water Breathing: Ninth Form: Splashing Water Flow!
Although he was stepping in the air, every time he took a step, a transparent water splash would rise up under his feet as a focal point, pushing him to a higher position!
That's how Giyu is, step by step, getting closer and closer to that terrifying wave!
At this time, the Mad Dog Wave was only two hundred meters away from him and could be reached in an instant.
Giyu's expression remained unchanged. As he flew forward for the last time, a wide water blade suddenly shot out of the entire right arm instead of two fingers. Then it skyrocketed crazily and was more than ten meters long before stopping. Come down!
But in front of this mountain-like wave, ten meters is still not enough.
"Water Breathing: Fourth Form——"
White mist sprayed out from the mouth and nose, which meant that Giyu had driven the water breathing to the extreme.
The sea water behind him felt something, and the waves that were completely opposite to the mad dog wave were stacked against each other, and water followed Giyu to face the invincible enemy.
"Striking tide!"
Giyu gritted his teeth, and the huge water blade hit the waves rushing toward him like cutting off a mountain range!
The waves surging behind him were like wild beasts that fought back, baring their teeth and claws and biting away!
Immediately afterwards, a roar that resounded throughout the world exploded across the entire sea area. Terrifying shock waves rushed in all directions, and drifting rain curtains fell from the sky like waterfalls.
Hozuki Suigetsu's mouth widened - it saw the hundreds of meters high water wall collapse, finally revealing the three instigators inside!
The backward waves washed over their slender bodies and fell backwards, allowing Giyu to find an excellent opportunity to attack.
He stepped on the chaotic water waves and rushed towards the eyes of the first giant snake like a sharp arrow.
"Drop Ripple Thrust."
The sword blade was in front, and the person was behind. The giant snake's exposed eyeball was instantly broken through, shattering like a glass filled with water!
Giyu went in through its right eye and out of its left eye, shooting at the next prey without stopping, and it fell into the sea with a howl.
The second giant snake was even worse because half of its neck had been cut off before, so it was the most vulnerable of the three snakes.
"Constant Flux ."
Giyu had no intention of wasting time on it. He just turned around while walking, and a huge blue dragon claw appeared out of thin air. He pinched the neck of the giant snake fiercely and violently pulled it out the huge snake head directly.
In an instant, the blood surged wildly, and the remaining body of the giant snake danced fiercely under the influence of nerves, like a crazy mental patient.
The dragon claw threw the snake head and accurately knocked down the last giant snake.
Giyu rushed forward, stabbed into its abdomen from top to bottom, and continued to slide downwards by gravity, cutting open most of its body.
The entire sea surface was dyed blood red!
Hozuki Suigetsu witnessed everything and was about to cheer, but his voice was blocked before it came out of his throat.
At this time, as the last giant snake died, the 100-meter-high wave also completely ended.
However, the thing behind the huge wave finally appeared.
A behemoth that was even more exaggerated than the three giant snakes was raising its purple horned head and staring angrily at Giyu who landed on the water.
Behind it, countless snakes, large and small, were protruding out of the sea, like a drawing of hell.
