The first time Sasuke used Lightning Release - Lightning Clone - in actual combat was not because he looked down on this technique, but because it consumed too much chakra.

Thunder clones are very useful in one-on-one battles, and can achieve the effect of using more people to defeat fewer.

Lightning clone is a very effective ninjutsu for dealing with enemies that are restrained by lightning escape. However, since Sasuke learned this technique, he has only encountered a few ninjas who specialize in earth escape. Only Sakura Haruno, who is also a member of Team 7, can be barely considered as the type that can be restrained by it.

However, competing with Haruno Sakura in the clone tactics is really a show-off, so there is no need for Sasuke to make a fool of himself.

Sasuke's original body and his clone attacked from two directions, one in front and one behind. He crossed his hands and then swung forward suddenly. The four rows of staggered Chidori Thousand Bones locked down Hozuki's forward steps.

Chidori Senbon is extremely fast and has excellent piercing ability. What is even more advantageous to Sasuke is that no matter what form the Chidori changes into, its essence is lightning jutsu, and it works extremely well when combined with water jutsu or natural water.

Chidori Senbon did not deliberately aim at the enemy's body, but only focused on preventing him from using the water transformation technique. After the Chidori Senbon missed its target, it landed on the water surface, exploded quickly, and turned into arcs that spread everywhere, causing some flaws in Hozuki's steady steps.

"Cage tactics?"

Hozuki Kizuki dodged the aftermath of the lightning attack with a serious expression, and even moving freely was extremely difficult.

“Something’s not good!”

Hozuki Suigetsu, who never had the idea of ​​fighting to the death, began to think of running away.

Although his own physical condition and chakra amount were much better than his opponent's, the risk of being killed by the enemy in a desperate battle was not worth it.

In this environment, simply avoiding is not the correct way to deal with Chidori Senbon.

Hozuki Hozuki's long swords in both hands flew quickly, turning into a barrier of sword light curtain wall to shatter Chidori Senbon.

However, it was too stressful to resist the Chidori Senbon like this. Unlike ordinary Senbon, the Chidori Senbon that was cut would suddenly explode. Each Chidori Senbon was a weakened Chidori. The reaction force of the explosion was fed back to Hozuki Suigetsu through the blade, almost knocking his sword away. If he hadn't used the Water Style - Haoshui Arm Technique in time to mobilize the water in his body to strengthen the strength of his arms, he might have made a fool of himself immediately.

“There’s no way to fight.”

It was already a headache to have to face a Lightning Release Ninja, and he also realized the correct way to restrain himself. For Hozuki Suigetsu, the last bit of will to fight no longer existed.

It is not easy to escape now. Two Sasuke figures have surrounded him, one in front and one behind, attacking his vital points.

Hozuki stretched out his right sword to block the horizontal slash in front of him, and raised the long sword in his left hand, aiming at Sasuke's vital points at a faster speed, intending to force the enemy back.

Suigetsu Hozuki made a mistake. The lightning clone that was close to him had no intention of dodging, and the tip of the sword pierced Suigetsu Hozuki's abdomen without any hesitation. The Chidori Blade paralyzed his body instantly, and then the lightning clone was also pierced through the throat. It exploded violently in the surprised eyes of Suigetsu Hozuki who turned back, and an arc of electricity enveloped him.

"Not an ordinary shadow clone?"

This was bad. The white-haired boy, who had fallen into the trap completely, felt something was wrong. Sasuke's real sword attacked again in front of him. The paralyzed Hozuki only had time to slightly turn sideways. Although he avoided the danger of his heart being pierced, his left shoulder was still pierced through.

“Die!”

Since they are enemies, Sasuke will not have any idea of ​​showing mercy. He gathers chakra in his left hand and the Chidori quickly takes shape, intending to end the life of the mysterious white-haired boy.

"How could he die just like that?"

With a loud scream, Suigetsu Kizuki used all his strength to pull hard, fully cooperating with his partially hydrated body. A deep cut was made on his shoulder, and blood-stained water flowed down the sword. It seemed that the hydrated body was not completely immune to the damage. The injuries on his body were obvious. Although Suigetsu Kizuki could recover with enough water and some time, he was in danger of being killed at any time.

The escaped Gui Deng Shui Yue immediately lowered his body and turned into a pool of clear water in the blink of an eye, merging into the lake under his feet.

"Want to run?"

Sasuke immediately thrust his sword into the water, and the light of lightning suddenly burst out and spread along the lake. Immediately, a scream was heard and the lake surged, but the seriously injured white-haired boy who was determined to escape still held on and did not show up.

Soon after, everything returned to calm.

"Dead? Or ran away?"

Sasuke tried almost all his tricks but still couldn't leave any enemies behind.

After taking a breath, Sasuke knelt on one knee on the water. After a moment, an inexplicable idea came into his mind.

"Has the time for luring the enemy's shadow clone come?"

He spread out his left palm and saw that it was covered with burns from the electric arc.

Don't think Chidori is some harmless little ninjutsu. Uzumaki Naruto's Rasenshuriken can paralyze an arm. What does it feel like to hold a large ball of lightning in your hand? Strong control will limit the spread of the power of lightning and protect your hands from being too hurt. However, as physical strength is consumed, the body gradually loses its strength and control is bound to be greatly reduced. Why does Sasuke limit the number of times Chidori can be used? If you use it too frequently, your body will not be able to support it.

"Is it no longer possible?"

Sasuke shook his head helplessly, his fists could hardly be clenched. Although these minor injuries would heal in a short time under the effect of the omnipotent potion, the consumption of his body could not be replenished in a short time.

“It’s time to go!”

There has to be a limit to being brave. After fighting several rounds in a row and being completely exhausted, he was relying on his life-saving trump card to hold on. It is already a good result to have such a result.

…

On a high earthen hill in the distance, a well-hidden ninja had been watching the battle situation motionlessly for a long time through a telescope with night vision capabilities.

"How is it? The chakra fluctuations seem to have subsided..."

The Perceptive Ninja beside him suddenly asked.

"it's over!"

"Is anyone dead?"

"No, but the result was tragic, with both sides suffering. Should we intervene? The other man appears to be Uchiha Sasuke from Konoha. Maybe we can kill him and become famous!"

"Don't think too much. This is not something we should care about. Our mission is to monitor the situation of the killer ghost and the white-haired monster and report the results to the angel. Maybe they will become our companions soon."

"knew."

No one likes subordinates who act on their own. For ninjas, completing the mission is the most important thing. Many of the peripheral members of the Akatsuki organization are extremely devout to the gods and angels who are their leaders.
