Chapter 19: The Wisdom of Adults



Fighting one against two was definitely not just a momentary impulse on Mizuki's part. In fact, any one of the three Konoha members was stronger than the opponent. Even the weakest one was no inferior to the current Suigetsu Hozuki. Maybe Suigetsu Hozuki will be very strong in the future, but now he is only fifteen years old. Even if his swordsmanship was superb, it was hard to say how much strength he could exert due to his physical limitations.

As long as Mizuki uses all his potions to fight a war of attrition, he can definitely defeat him at a cost in a different environment. The opponent was able to defeat Moonlight Gale because of a misinformation. The water transformation technique was too difficult to imagine and guard against. The time and place were not favorable to him, so it was really a crime that was not caused by war. What was even worse was that Yamashiro Aoba actually capsized in the gutter and killed someone. He was used to being the Hokage's bodyguard, but it seemed that he was not used to cleaning up the battlefield.

It's hard to say how much strength Hozuki Suigetsu and Gekkou Gale have left after a fierce battle. The other red-haired man is not strong enough and is injured and cannot exert his full strength. As long as we can hold on, we will have more and more advantages as time goes by.

"The rest depends on the effects and side effects of the green potion. It must be strong enough to sustain the body through this battle, but it can't be too potent to cause mutations. It can't be too long to overdraw the body. This is a technical job. This is such a big deal for the first human experiment. It's really that plans can't keep up with changes."

Mizuki was fully prepared and directly created a shadow clone to protect Gekko Gale and Yamashiro Aoba. He took the initiative to attack with his real body and went straight for Kizuki Hozuki. There was no need for any fancy moves. Mizuki knew very well that any tricks against a master of swordsmanship would be a waste of time, so he just played a rough and mindless way to crush him.

Hozuki Suigetsu's swordsmanship is also the kind that focuses on practicality, doing whatever it takes to kill the opponent and achieve the goal. He does not have the demeanor of a swordsmanship master in the impression he has. Mizuki is even more direct, wielding the shuriken as much as he can. It is simple and direct, and as long as he can force the opponent to block with all his strength, he will succeed. He usually has to be chopped two or three times before the two swords can collide once.

"Brother, you seem to be even worse than that sickly guy playing with the sword." Gui Deng Shuiyue said sarcastically, "It will be less painful if you just let me chop you to death."

"You naughty kid, you don't have any family to discipline you. Don't underestimate the strength of adults. Let your big brother teach you how to respect your elders."

Shuimu bit his finger, supported himself with one hand, and shouted, "Spiritual Calling, Summon~"

The black runes spread rapidly in all directions.

"Captain, be careful underwater~" Red, who had suffered a great loss from Shuimu, warned.

Unfortunately, before Suigetsu Hozuki could react, several transparent tentacles pierced through the green tide and climbed up along Suigetsu Hozuki's legs. Wherever they went, they caused severe pain, making Suigetsu Hozuki tremble. Mizuki took the opportunity to rush forward and stabbed Suigetsu Hozuki's heart with the shuriken in his right hand.

"Your strength is not as great as your tone, arrogant little brat." Shuimu said proudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Suigetsu Kizuki didn't react at all, and stabbed Mizuki in the chest with the steel knife in his right hand.

There was no time to dodge as a figure appeared behind him. It was the red-haired man who was waiting for an opportunity and came over to block the space for him to dodge.

"What are you thinking about? Senior, you know it's useless, but you still want to kill yourself?"

At the critical moment, Mizuki only had time to avoid the vital parts, his left shoulder blade was pierced directly, and his right shoulder was hit directly by the shuriken, causing him to be seriously injured.

The red-haired man behind him was delighted: "We finally won." But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he found that Shuimu not only did not retreat, but came closer.

"What? The target is me?" He was so shocked that he didn't have time to react before the kunai in Mizuki's hand pierced his throat.

"A supporting role should have the awareness of being a supporting role. Once the mission is completed, leave as soon as possible."

The red-haired man, with a gurgling sound in his throat but unable to utter a single word, fell down in disbelief, sank, and was swallowed by the sea.

While killing the red-haired man, Mizuki used all his strength, exerted force with his right hand, and swept the shuriken, almost cutting Suigetsu Hozuki in half. The right hand holding the sword was directly cut off. Then he snatched the steel knife from the severed hand with his left hand, and slashed wildly with both hands, cutting Suigetsu Hozuki into several pieces before he could react in time. Then he flew backwards, but was still a step too late. A stream of water shot through Mizuki's right chest.

Then, Suigetsu Hozuki recovered his body from the water transformation secret technique again, and then in a flash, Shuimu felt a heavy pressure on his chest and was kicked away.

"Damn it. I thought skipping stones was fun when I was a kid, but now I'm the one getting to be the stone." Shuimu couldn't help but think sadly, "Several ribs are broken and my internal organs are injured."

Before Mizuki could catch his breath, Hozuki Suigetsu appeared again with another knife that he had gotten from somewhere.

"Honestly, Senior." Hozuki didn't come up to finish off the enemy at this time. It seems that the saying that villains die because they talk too much is true. "Even if you kill one, what can you do? Struggling will only cause more pain. It can't change your fate of dying today."

"Destiny, a ninja would actually say this word? It's really hilarious." Mizuki said while panting, "It's not certain who will die."

"Oh? Really? Then what else can you do now? We really have to wait and see?"

"You'll see."

Shuimu spoke shamelessly while secretly calculating that the potion was very powerful and it could almost repair the fatal wound in a short time. However, too much blood had been lost and his body was seriously depleted. However, it seemed that the opponent was about to die.

"Then let me broaden my horizons, senior." Before he could finish his words, the man had already rushed over.

"So fast." Shuimu seemed to be too badly injured to react at all, and watched the sword approaching. Suddenly, Hozuki's body froze.

"I can't move. What's going on?" Gui Deng Shui Yue was shocked. "When did the sealing magic circle come into being? Damn it, what the hell is this green thing? It's too much of a hindrance attached to the water surface. I can't see under the water at all."

"Are you dumbfounded, idiot? Next, let me show you the wisdom of the adults." After saying this, without waiting for Suigetsu Kizuki to reply, he took out the scroll, spread it out, and prepared to cast a spell.

"What do you want to do?" Gui Deng Shui Yue felt uneasy.

A lightning-fast figure rushed out of the thick fog.

"Who?" Gui Deng Shui Yue was shocked, "Why is there a helper?" When he saw the face of the person clearly, he suddenly realized, "When will the shadow clone technique be used?"

The person who came was none other than Mizuki's shadow clone. "Idiot, now that the red-haired guy is dead, there's naturally no need for me to protect my two companions." As soon as he finished speaking, he had already cleanly chopped Hozuki Suigetsu into pieces.

I saw Gui Deng Shui Yue's body turned into pieces of water splashes again.

At this moment, Shuimu's body activated his chakra and shouted "Seal". The bloody scroll released chains of runes, which directly gathered a splash of water and then sealed it with lightning speed.

"Seal." Then Shuimu put away the scroll and dodged the flying water gun.

"Do you think this trick will work? How can an unexpected trick work against someone who is prepared?"

In the splash of water, Hozuki Suigetsu appeared again, but her face was pale.

"What did you do to me?"

"I have to ask you this. How should I know?"

Only God knows what kind of damage will be caused by sealing a part of the hydrated body.

"You angered me, I must kill you today."

"If you can do it, then try it?" Shuimu challenged with disdain. "In this situation, the other party doesn't have much chance, but he is still pestering. It seems that he is just an impulsive half-grown child with some strength. But the longer it drags on, the better. It's a good opportunity to teach you how to be a man."

Then there was another round of brutal fighting with both parties hurting each other. The shadow clone had long disappeared, and Shuimu was suffering from the pain of the knife wounds and the tingling sensation of the wounds healing rapidly. Hozuki Suigetsu also recovered from the water transformation again and again.

To some extent, both of them are in a state of short-term ineffectiveness of physical attacks. Hozuki is likely to consume a lot of chakra, while Mizuki relies on vitality to make up for it. However, it seems that the winner is not far away, and it depends on who can hold on.

Just as this dull and unspectacular fight was going on, suddenly, a phantom flew by and chopped Gui Deng Shui Yue into four pieces.

"The Three-Day Moon Dance is the Moonlight Gale?"

Just when Suigetsu Hozuki was recovering by using water, a shuriken flew over and smashed Suigetsu Hozuki's head again.

Shuimu also took the opportunity to slash a few times and then retreated on guard.

"You two are too slow. This guy and I are almost tired of playing together. This white-haired boy is so rude that he messed up my flowing hair."

"I'm sorry, Mizuki." Yamashiro Aoba appeared and said, "I'll treat you to breakfast for a month when I go back. But you're really in a mess."

Shuimu was seen turned into a bloody man. Although most of the wounds on his body had healed, the blood had formed scabs on the surface of his body, making Shuimu look hideous and scary.

"Although he's a rude brat, he's still very enthusiastic."

Moonlight Gale also looked at Gui Deng Shui Yue with an unfriendly expression, "What an enthusiastic young man, we must treat him well." It seemed that he was quite worried about his own carelessness.

Seeing that the three men had surrounded the opponent, Shuimu no longer neglected his efforts. This encounter had lasted too long and was really too tragic.

"Then let me show you how passionate adults are."

"Sealing magic circle, open." Drive the few remaining lighthouse jellyfish. "Speaking of which, this is a good move. I lack the attack power, so I control it and let my teammates attack. It's much safer. I won't be so impulsive next time. It will take a long time to recover the blood I lost."

With the help of Mizuki, Yamashiro Aoba and Gekko Gale attacked recklessly. Hozuki Suigetsu and Shuihua had no time to recover and were defeated again and again.

"You don't look very good. Do you want to come back to Konoha with us so that we can take good care of you?" Mizuki couldn't help but tease when he saw that he was sure to win.

Gui Deng Shui Yue didn't even have the chance to respond. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, he stopped struggling and simply turned into a pool of water, slowly sinking.

"Want to run?" Yamashiro Aoba insisted, "Fire escape, big fireball technique."

A scream was heard, but it still did not stop the other party from escaping.

"Fire escape can't stop him in this environment." Moonlight Gale said unwillingly.

"Haha, you just left without saying goodbye. Let me see you off." After saying that, Shuimu took out a tube of splitting potion and threw it into the water.

"burst."

Then the potion exploded and scattered.

There was a brief silence, and then suddenly there was a heart-wrenching howl: "Ah, what is this, what did you do to me? Ah~"
