Chapter 22:

"Water style, water dragon jutsu!" Black water ghost roared, releasing the ninjutsu and a water dragon formed from the surrounding water roared.

Because it is close to the border of the country of rain, the terrain is full of rivers and water sources. Therefore black water ghost can easily use water ninjutsu. A water dragon that is five or six meters long condenses into shape and rushes towards Akira and Minato with a roar.

"Wind style, great breakthrough!" Minato spit out a whirlwind from his mouth, forming a violent gust of wind and rush towards the water dragon.

Both of the ninjutsu directly collided and a sneer appeared at the corner of the black water ghost's mouth. He don't believe the ninjutsu release by the two kid in front of him could be compared with his ninjutsu. Sure enough, as he expected, the wind breakthrough from Minato head towards the water dragon, but the water dragon directly overpowered the wind breakthrough.

The water dragon roared, and the torrent poured down, turning into a torrential flood, washing towards Akira and others.

"Fire style, Fierce dragon flame jutsu!" Akira also instantly hand sealed.

(This jutsu is also a part of the setup that Sasuke uses in order to perform his Kirin.)

Fierce dragon flame jutsu, one of Uchiha's unique, b-rank fire ninjutsu. Faced with a jounin like black water ghost, Akira didn't use genjutsu hastily. Genjutsu generally have obvious effects on ninjas whose strength is lower than their own, but for ninjas who are stronger than themselves, they may get backlashed by the genjutsu instead.

Therefore Akira chose the fierce dragon flame jutsu to deal with the Black Water Ghost.

The scorching heat in the air rise and a fire dragon condensed and formed. The fire dragon roared fiercely, with the heat evaporating the water around and form steam. The flames are also so intense that the air could burn and the air itself distorted.

Fierce dragon flame jutsu vs. Water Dragon jutsu!

One water and one fire, two dragons roared and intertwined. Just now, although the wind ninjutsu release by Minato could not withstand the water dragon jutsu, but it help to weakened the strength of the water dragon jutsu, which gave Akira's fire ninjutsu a advantage. Burst of steam formed from the collision and the two ninjutsu were almost evenly match.

"Hmph, the two of you are still a little capable, but it's a pity, water ninjutsu is the nemesis of Fire ninjutsu, you lose." Black water ghost was slightly surprised by Akira's and Minato's strength, especially Akira who is already strong enough to threaten him.

He could tell that Akira is strong, but Akira used fire ninjutsu and was naturally restrained by water ninjutsu which gave him an obvious advantage.

"Boy, why do you use fire ninjutsu instead of lightning ninjutsu?" sage of the six path find it a bit strange. Akira is capable of using powerful lightning ninjutsu such as Chidori, but he still use fire ninjutsu instead.

Akira didn't answer, his mind focusing on the battle.

If he rashly expose the fact that he can use lightning ninjutsu, Black water ghost will be more vigilant, thus it is better to hide his strength first and then wait for the right opportunity to strike.

Facing black water ghost, he will only have one opportunity to strike, so he must grasp it well!

Akira became calmer and commanded Minato suddenly: "Minato, you must withstand this guy's attack first and cover for me!"

"Akira, are you sure? The other party is a jounin!" Minato gritted his teeth, he is currently at a critical juncture of live and death.

"Just listen to me." Akira squinted his eyes, isn't it just a jounin, he believe he can take him down.

Minato gritted his teeth and chose to believe in Akira and stand forward to resist the attack from Black Water Ghost.

Black water ghost thought that Akira's idea is a little strange so he is secretly wary: Does this kid have a powerful ninjutsu that needs time to prepare? Thinking of this, black water ghost also remain alert and ready to use defensive jutsu to defend.

While thinking, Blackwater Ghost's attack did not stop as he fiercely attack Minato.

"Akira, are you ready yet? I can't hold him back any longer!" Minato shouted desperately. At this moment, Kushina and Choza finally solved the other Ame ninja and preparing to come and support.

Akira on the other hand is busy doing a series of hand seals and it seems like he is preparing a complicated ninjutsu.

"It's done, Minato, move one side!" Akira shouted, then with the final hand seal he said: "Fire style…"

Hearing the words fire style, black water ghost felt a little relieved, it seemed that this kid could only use to fire ninjutsu. No matter how powerful the fire ninjutsu is, it will still be restrained by water ninjutsu! Thinking of this, black water Ghost also quickly hand seal and said: "Water style, Water wall jutsu!"

Black water ghost spits a stream of water from his mouth at the ground, which circles around him and rises upward to create a wall of water surrounding him from all sides.

Black water ghost is secretly proud, he have mastered the use of water wall jutsu and it can defend most fire ninjutsu with no problem at all.

But the next moment lightning gathered in Akira's palm and the highly condensed lightning chakra burst out, forming a blue lightning currents visible to the naked eye.

"Chidori!" Akira's figure flashed and rushed forward!

Chidori is a condensed form of lightning current, with loud chirping sound. Chidori with it's extremely strong penetrating ability, directly broke through the defensive wall of water and thrust towards the body of black water ghost!

There was a flash of lightning and blood spurted out. Black water ghost clutched his shoulders, staggering and retreating backward.

His eyes were filled with astonishment and surprise, glaring at Akira. Just now, he was preparing to resist Akira's fire ninjutsu with the water wall jutsu, but who knew Akira didn't use fire ninjutsu at all, but instead lightning ninjutsu!

What about the "fire style" that you said?

Akira looked innocent in response to the black water ghost's anger, and smiled maliciously: "I'm sorry, I yelled wrongly, it is lightning style not fire style."

Pff, black water ghost vomited blood with anger.

Black water ghost can see that this kid clearly did it on purpose!

"Haha."

Kushina and Choza who have already killed off the other Ame ninja together with Minato saw this scene. They hold their stomachs while twitching with laughter. Haha, this unfortunate Ame Jounin, had been bluff by Akira!

That's right, from the very beginning, when he met black water ghost, Akira made up his mind to confuse him with fire ninjutsu first. When black water ghost's impression of him stayed with only able to use "fire style", he will then use chidori and attack unexpectedly, which had work perfectly. If it wasn't for the last moment, Black water Ghost quickly avoided his vital from being hit, he would had already been killed by Akira's Chidori!

Black Water Ghost received a severe blow from Akira. Although he did not die, he is also seriously injured and he is greatly weaken.

Black water ghost expression looked ugly, as he is seriously injured now and Akira and the other were preparing to surround him and not let him escape.
