451. Blunt sword Kabutowari

Whoosh…

The shinobis swiftly separate from the two-mist swordsman and the Iwa shinobis create an earth prison wall around the two.

"Attack them!"

The captain yells and makes a series of hand signs.

"Earth Style: Swamp of the Underworld,"

The captain alters the solid ground into the mud to sink the two mist swordsmen.

"Pour more water in the swamp!"

Multiple water release users make a series of hand signs and spew out jets of water into the swamp to restrict their movements.

"Earth Release: Mineral Assimilation,"

One of the vice-captains makes a series of hand signs and excavates various minerals from the ground and pours them into the swamp to create a slurry.

"Use Fire Jutsu to heat it!" The captain yells and sends a message to headquarters for backup.

The fire users heat the slurry to solidify it into a concrete mixture. Jinin and Fuguki are trapped inside the solid mixture.

"Did we get them?" The shinobis warily stare at the group.

"Let's seal them before they could free themselves." One of the vice-captains instructs the sealing team.

"Yes, sir!"

The members of the sealing team place down the sealing scrolls from their backs and make a series of hand signs.

"This was surprisingly easy!" Other vice-captains stare at the Mist vice-captain.

"Well… umm…" Before the Mist vice-captain could reply.

Hmm…

The captain's face changes drastically as he senses a surge of chakra beneath the ground.

"EVERBODY, MOVE!"

The captain screams to warn his teammates. However,

BOOM…

A powerful explosion occurs with the sealing team at the center. The powerful explosion engulfs the sealing team and a few nearby shinobis. Even the vice-captain from Sunagakure is caught in the explosion.

Blood splatters onto the battlefield as body parts of the sealing unit members spread throughout the area, much to the horror of some shinobis. Dust and smoke block their vision.

"What… what happened?" The vice-captain from Kiri stares at the situation with horror.

"This isn't good!" The captain immediately enters into a combat stance.

Whoosh…

A figure leaps out of the smoke and punches the captain with bare fists.

"Explosion Release: Landmine Fist,"

An Edo Tensei with spiky, light brown hairs and a prominent jawline target the captain.

"Crap!" The captain crosses his arm and layers them with earth release.

BOOM…

A powerful unidirectional explosion covers the captain's body and sends him away flying.

Bang…

The captain smashes through multiple trees and hits a boulder.

Bleurgh…

He pukes out a mouthful of blood and bleeds from the forehead. The captain's arms are brutally scorched from the explosion despite shielding them with the Earth Release.

Cough… cough…

He coughs slightly and wipes out the blood from his mouth. The captain takes eats a recovery pill and slowly stands up.

"That's… that's Gari of the explosion release from the explosion corps." The Iwagakure vice-captain recognizes the attacker.

"So, someone still remembers me after my death." Gari turns towards the Iwa Vice-captain.

"Captain!"

One of the combat medics from the medic unit swiftly treats the captain's wounds while Gari engages with the Iwa vice-captain.

"Don't fight in close combat with me. Your body will explode at the touch of his hands." He avoids Gari's punches.

Boom… Boom…

Explosion sets off wherever Gari touches with his palm.

"Let me help you!"

The Kumogakure vice-captain swings his giant blade to disrupt Gari's attack. He makes a series of hand signs.

"Lightning Release: Discharge Over burst,"

He claps his hands and releases a powerful burst of lightning toward Gari.

Boom… Whoosh…

Gari explodes the ground underneath him with his feet and leaps into the air to avoid the lightning-release attack.

The Kumo vice-captain attempts to follow up with an overhead chop. However,

"Where do you think you are going?" A giant axe smashes toward his head.

Clang…

"Damn it! They got freed." He blocks the Kabutowari axe with his blade.

"I am not done yet!" Jinin follows up the attack with a swing of the Kabutowari hammer on top of the axe and breaks apart the giant blade into pieces.

CLANG… CLANK…

Kabutowari, the blunt sword- is capable of breaking through any defense and smashing apart any weapon into pieces.

The Kiri vice-captain's expression turns grim.

"Yo, brat! I haven't fought with anyone in a long time. Entertain me a little, will you?" Fuguki swings his giant stolen blade toward the Kiri shinobi's neck.

Clang…

The Kiri shinobi blocks the blade with his kunai. However, Fuguki follows up with a kick and pushes him away.

Guffaw…

The Kiri vice-captain wipes the blood from his mouth and warily gazes at Fuguki.

"Tch… looks like the shinobi nowadays are slacking off in their training. If that's the case, I might as well end this farce."

"Fuguki Suikazan, the former wielder of the Shark Skin, Samehada, not only possesses an enormous amount of chakra but also possesses immense physical strength. In terms of raw power, he was the strongest mist swordsman of his generation. However…"

The Kiri vice-captain smiles and clasps his hand together.

"Water Release: Droplet Spear,"

Blub… Blub…

Several water droplets float around Fuguki.

HAAH…

The water droplet converges on top of Fuguki and bombards him from all directions in the form of mini spears.

Pew… pew… pew…

They pierce through Fuguki's body without giving him a chance to retaliate.

Huff… huff…

The Kiri vice-captain breathes heavily as Fuguki stops in his place.

"Did he get him?" He warily stares at the silent Fuguki.

Bwahaha…

Suddenly, Fuguki burst out in laughter and slowly walks towards the Kiri shinobi.

"Not bad! I might be slightly hurt if was alive. However, this body doesn't feel any pain. Be careful of my next attack!"

Fuguki infuses the chakra into the chakra blade and lifts it. The blade of the sword elongates as Fuguki performs a vertical swing.

"Water Release: Great Splitting water exploding wave cutter,"

BOOM…

The water blade slices through the ground in a straight line and multiple jets of water erupt from the ground, cleaving through the shinobi army.

He performs another horizontal swing and slices multiple shinobis in half.

Bang…

Jinin smashes the Kabutowari hammer on the ground, blasting a crater at the point of impact. The Kumo shinobi barely avoids the attack.

"How can we even stop them?" The Kiri vice-captain despairs.

Fwish…

Suddenly, a bolt of blue lightning flashes past his eyes.

Huh!

The Kiri vice-captain blinks in confusion.

"What was that?"

"Die!"

Jinin follows the hammer attack with a charged axe attack to chop the Kumo captain.

CLANG….

Suddenly, a bolt of blue lightning flashes in front of him and blocks the attack.

AH!

The Kumo vice-captain was prepared to accept his death and is surprised to see the figure in front of him.

"Raikage-sama!"

Joy appears on his face as he recognizes the figure blocking the axe attack with vambraces. Lightning sparks flicker across the vambrace as A pushes the axe back.

"You think you can stop me!"

Jinin smirks and follows the axe attack by smashing the hammer on top of the axe.

BANG…

The ground beneath A's leg crumbles, but the latter steadily holds his own.

Bzzt… Crackle…

Lightning flickers across A's other arm.

"Lightning Release: Quake Flash Strike,"

BANG…

He smashes his other fist into Jinin's body and sends him flying across the forest.

KRRK… CRACKLE…

Lighting flickers across A's eyes as he stomps his feet on the ground.

"BOLT TACKLE,"

BOOM…

A lightning bolt explodes at A's former position as he vanishes from his spot and reappears above Jinin.

"DIE!"

A clasp both his hands into a fist and smashes them on top of Jinin's body. The powerful blows away half of Jinin's body.

A grab the Kabutowari blade and turn towards the Kumo shinobi.

"What are you gawking at? Hurry up and seal him!" A's yell wakes up the Kumo vice-captain from his reverie.

"Yes, Raikage-sama!" The Vice-captain quickly takes a sealing tag from his pocket and applies it on top of Jinins's body.

Besides, the sealing corps, every captain and vice-captain of a regiment is given a bunch of sealing tags for such situations.

"Next up!"

A turn his attention towards Fuguki, who is rampaging through the shinobi army. The members of the allied shinobi force are frantically escaping away from him.

"I will get to him later since he is a bit troublesome." A turn his attention to Gari, who is fighting against the Konoha Captain and Iwa Vice-captain.

Bzzt… Crackle…

A cloak his body in lightning and flicker towards Gari. He clenches his fist and punches the latter. Gari also notices A's presence.

The latter coat his arms in explosive chakra. His palm emits a blinding light.

"Explosion Release: Exploding Palm,"

"Lightning Release: Quake Flash Strike,"

BOOM…
