. Unable to gain leverage in mid-air.

  As long as the ability to fly is not available, this situation can be quite deadly in combat.

  Chishima Chiba knew it, and so did Tsunade and Hatake Sakumo.

  So the two of them took advantage of the time when Chishima Chiba jumped into the air to avoid the water flow mixed with lightning chakra, and each of them used their own special skills.

  Lightning Release·Hatake Sword Technique·Thunder Fang Leap!

  The lightning chakra in Hatake Sakumo's body surged, instantly activating himself, allowing him to possess the current extreme speed and attack power, while also gaining the ability to stay in the air for a short period of time.

  This move is a killing move prepared for those who are in mid-air and have nowhere to gain support.

  Hatake Sakumo stepped into the air, and his whole body seemed to merge with the White Fang in his hand, turning into a stream of light with blue electric arcs, and rushed towards Chishima Chiba in the air at an extremely fast speed.

  At the same time, Tsunade was simple and rough.

  Click.

  Her right foot stomped a deep pit on the ground, and spider web cracks spread out in all directions. Tsunade suddenly jumped up, not only able to stay in the air for a short time, but also with the help of the earth's recoil force, Tsunade's punch was even more powerful.

  As long as it hits a person, broken tendons and bones are the least serious injuries, not to mention other things.

  Facing the attack from both sides, Chidao Qianye's face became serious, and he did not make any move. He left a trail of afterimage and quickly distanced himself from the two men.

  But soon, Chishima Chiba discovered that the speed of the instant

  body technique he used was only slightly faster than the speed of Hatake Sakumo's activated body.

  At this moment, the lightning chakra in Hatake Sakumo's body was exerted again, and his body speed increased again. He took the initiative and caught up with Chishima Chiba again.

  He tilted his head back suddenly, and the white tooth in Hatake Sakumo's hand brushed against Chishima Chiba's chin.

  At the same time, Tsunade, who had already fallen to the ground after missing the attack, took advantage of this opportunity to form seals with her hands, and a swift and sharp straight line of fire rushed towards Chishima Chiba, who was in a state of decline.

  Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique!

  Feeling the burning sensation coming from behind, Chishima Chiba groaned in his heart. The fighting style of the two was really unsolvable.

  With his physical speed advantage, Hatake Sakumo forced Chishima Chiba to run around without time to form hand seals, while Tsunade could safely act as a ninjutsu turret, providing cover or attack support to Hatake Sakumo at medium and close distances.

  Wow, the attack tactics personally formulated by Chishima Chiba were applied by these two people and used on themselves.

  Swish!

  While Chishima Chiba's clone was paying attention to the fire line behind him, Hatake Sakumo turned his wrist and injected the lightning chakra in his body into White Fang, causing the short and narrow blade of White Fang to suddenly add a blade formed entirely of lightning chakra, and its length increased dramatically.

  By changing the horizontal sweep to an upward slash, White Fang's blade suddenly lengthened and he was able to carry out an unexpected sneak attack. No one could have imagined at a critical moment that White Fang's short and narrow blade would suddenly lengthen.

  Although Chishima Chiba knew it, Hatake Sakumo's sudden attack directly disrupted his attack and defense rhythm.

  At the same time, Chishima Chiba also instantly understood why the White Fang blade in Hatake Sakumo's hand was so short.

  It's not because chakra metal is too expensive to make, but because it is intended to catch the enemy off guard in battle, disrupting their defense or attack rhythm and achieving success with a single strike.

  This time, Hatake Sakumo is going to suffer a great loss!

  Chishima Chiba took a deep breath and contracted his abdomen, but he was still a step too slow and was chopped into a ball of smoke by Hatake Sakumo in mid-air.

  "Shadow clone? When?"

  Hatake Sakumo looked shocked, and so was Tsunade below. She suddenly reacted.

  "It was when Chiba used the Earth and Land Return to defend against my Painful Heaven Kick!"

  Tsunade gave the answer, and at the same time, Hatake Sakumo looked down suddenly and instantly found several places where Chiba Chiba might be hiding.

  "Tsunade, you're on the left and I'm on the right!"

  "clear!"

  After a brief exchange, Hatake Sakumo suddenly swung his sword and the lightning chakra in his body boiled again.

  After using only two special moves in succession, the chakra in Hatake Sakumo's body has been consumed by nearly half. He must fight quickly and not be dragged into a war of attrition by Chishima Chiba.

  The amount of chakra in his body has always been a weakness of Hatake Sakumo. Even though his chakra waste has been greatly improved as his control over chakra has gradually improved, it still cannot make up for his inherent deficiency.

  When dealing with ninjas who have unclear information about their combat power or are slightly weaker in strength, Hatake Sakumo can kill them instantly, but Chishima Chiba is not one of them.

  They know each other too well, and Chishima Chiba has too many tricks in battle.

  Lightning Release·Hatake Sword Technique·Thunder Fang Flash!

  Regardless of the consumption of chakra in his body, Hatake Sakumo once again mobilized a large amount of lightning chakra. While revitalizing his body again, he grasped the handle of the White Fang Sword with both hands and descended from the sky in the posture of splitting Mount Hua with force.

  At the same time, the White Fang blade was completely wrapped in Lightning Chakra, and a two-meter-long dazzling sword light composed entirely of Lightning Chakra fell from the air from top to bottom.

  Boom!

  With a loud noise and the air filled with dust, a five-meter-long knife mark suddenly appeared where Hatake Sakumo fell. The Chishima Chiba shadow clone, who was hiding underground using the Earth Escape and Soil Submersion Technique, also exploded into a ball of white mist.

  "Found it!"

  At the same time, Tsunade on the other side locked onto Chishima Chiba's body and approached him, engaging him in close combat again.  

  "Hey, we are in the same group!" Chidao Chiba shouted loudly, feeling indignant.

  "Not now."

  There was a gleam in Tsunade's eyes, and her fists and feet became more powerful. She must defeat Chishima Chiba today!

  Boom, boom, boom.

  Chishima Chiba shut up and fought a few moves with Tsunade. His body was hurt by the huge force from Tsunade's fists and kicks, and his retreating steps left many footprints and holes.

  At this time, Hatake Sakumo also adjusted his body shape and rushed towards Chishima Chiba again. Whether he could defeat the opponent depended on this move!

  Drawing upon the limited chakra in his body once again, Hatake Sakumo raised White Fang and swung out a slash mixed with lightning chakra.

  Lightning Release·Hataki Sword Technique·Thunder Fang Flash!

  Chishima Chiba knew that he couldn't delay any longer, so he made up his mind and broke the agreement he had just made with Tsunade.

  Sealing Technique: Heavy Sealing of Limbs!

  At the moment of fist fighting with Tsunade, Chishima Chiba changed his fist into a palm, and his palm completely wrapped around Tsunade's fist. The chakra in his body also formed into a series of ink-black sealing techniques at this time, which suddenly spread along the fist to Tsunade's entire right arm.

  Ignoring Tsunade's stunned expression, Chishima Chiba retreated explosively, quickly forming seals with his hands, and then slammed the ground hard.

  However, there is no wind attribute chakra in Chiba Chishima's body, so he can only use the earth escape technique for defensive ninjutsu.

  However, the earth-style ninjutsu was just restrained by the lightning-style ninjutsu, and the newly erected earth wall was broken by just one poke from Hatake Sakumo, as if it were made of paper.

  His momentum did not slow down. Hatake Sakumo was already close at this moment. He aimed the White Fang in his hand directly at Chishima Chiba's chest, and his attack was fast and fierce.

  Helplessly, Chishima Chiba could only take out a kunai from his ninja tool bag, mobilize the lightning chakra in his body, and have a head-on confrontation with Hatake Sakumo.

  Moreover, he used the family sword technique of Hatake Sakumo.

  The two identical moves collided with each other, and the kunai in Chishima Chiba's hand was instantly blown into pieces by the lightning chakra, but the same did not happen to Hatake Sakumo's White Fang Ninja Sword.

  Chakra Metal!

  I'm envious.

  For the first time, Chishima Chiba wanted to have a weapon like White Fang, but before he could think about it, Hatake Sakumo's follow-up attack came again.

  Although Hatake Sakumo taught Chishima Chiba the Hatake swordsmanship, the former specialized in this area, while Chishima Chiba only learned it but was not able to master it.

  Coupled with the disadvantage in weapons, when the two used the same move to fight, Hatake Sakumo had the upper hand.

  Not only did he shatter the lightning sword light swung by Chishima Chiba, but he also used the remaining power to change his moves and then slashed back, aiming at Chishima Chiba's chest.

  Swish.

  A sound of clothes tearing was heard, and a long slanted bloody wound suddenly appeared on Chidao Chiba's chest and abdomen, with the skin and flesh turned inside out and blood splattered.

  A look of panic flashed in Hatake Sakumo's eyes, but before he could react, Chishima Chiba's right finger had already pointed at Hatake Sakumo's chest.

  Sealing technique: Chakra seal!

  When the sealing technique spread to Hatake Sakumo's chest, the chakra in Hatake Sakumo's body seemed to be suddenly disconnected from him, and it could be used but was very obscure.

  "Ha, I won..."

  Chishima Chiba staggered back a few steps, and a light green medical ninjutsu light flashed in his palm, and he gently pressed it on the wounds on his chest and abdomen.

  Soon, the flow of blood stopped. The wound would not heal quickly, but it would also not cause any further harm to Chishima Chiba.

  "You win."

  The panic in Hatake Sakumo's eyes disappeared. As long as Chishima Chiba was okay, he was glad that he had lost this time.

  In the battle just now, Chishima Chiba used all the remaining ninja offensive systems except illusion, and finally demonstrated the ability of medical ninjutsu.

  It was not unfair for him to lose against such a comprehensive Chiba Chishima, and Hatake Sakumo would not forget that he was fighting two against one with Tsunade!

  Chiba Chishima, who was standing on the other side, continued to heal himself with medical ninjutsu. After the wounds had scabbed over, he ran towards Tsunade, whose movements were restricted by heavy seals on her limbs.

  When the two looked at each other, Chishima Chiba saw the crystal in Tsunade's eyes.

  "Why are you working so hard..." Tsunade blamed in a low voice, but more of it was heartache.

  "I want to win every battle, not even once!" Chishima Chiba smiled firmly and gently, raised his hand and touched Tsunade's forehead, "Otherwise, how can I protect you in the future?"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Chishima Chiba pulled Tsunade up from the ground and began to remove the seal on Tsunade.

  On the other side, Hatake Sakumo worked hard to provide himself with food and clothing.

  Although he was not proficient in the sealing technique, he still knew a little about how to remove it.
