Chapter 64: Instant Body
The scorching flame technique was like an overwhelming wall of fire, the flames were fierce and smashed fiercely on the wall of the water array.
It was visibly that a large area of water was missing, but the water array wall was originally a cyclical technique, and with the force of rotation, the missing part was quickly compensated by the water flow in the natural environment.
Seeing that Ino was not struggling, Asuma immediately increased his chakra output, and the temperature of the flame turned deep red.
Ino did not hesitate at all and also increased the speed of absorbing and rotating the water wall.
Rotating round and round, the water wall did not become thinner under the impact of the flames, but became thicker due to the addition of natural water flow.
Both of them should have the same "Ninjutsu" level of 9, and have the same control over ninjutsu. Their "essence" representing the total amount of chakra is also about the same. Asuma is slightly higher, probably at 7, and Ino is very close to 7 now. The remaining hand seal levels, escape techniques, and even the level of ninjutsu itself are all about the same.
The Sarutobi clan's fire-style ninjutsu is unique, and the Water Array Wall improved by the Second Hokage is also an extremely powerful water-style ninjutsu. The most important thing is that water overcomes fire.
The second generation Hokage practiced water escape technique, and he might have relied on it to fight against the Uchiha clan. Fire escape technique, Great Flame Technique was completely blocked by water escape technique, Water Array Wall! Asuma increased his chakra output twice in a row, but because water overcomes fire, he was unable to break through Ino's defense.
Asuma is good at physical skills, and ninjutsu is just a supplement to him. Seeing that their ninjutsu are evenly matched, he immediately used his strengths.
"Be careful!" He rushed forward in one step.
After the two techniques collided, a large amount of water vapor filled the air. Ino did not use the Mist Hidden Technique this time, and she had no intention of competing with Asuma in physical skills. Her poor physical skills were okay for a fight with the rookie Sasuke at the time, but she would be a disaster against an elite jonin.
She took a deep breath through her chest and abdomen, and didn't even look at Asuma who was rushing towards her for close combat. She changed her chakra by adding water attribute, and kept making seals with her hands.
"Water Style. Explosive Water Wave!"
Her chakra turned into a torrent of water and rushed towards Asuma in front of her.
"This technique is used quite well!" Asuma praised.
He saw the direction of the water flow clearly, jumped up, stepped on the water with his feet, and continued to charge forward.
The title of "Wild Boar in the Mountains" should be given to you! Ino secretly complained, and crossed her index and middle fingers into a cross, forming the "Ren" seal, creating a shadow clone.
The shadow clone quickly formed three seals: "Water Style. Water Wave!"
Asuma did not use any weapons. He moved sideways at a very clever angle and dodged the turbulent waves at the last second, without slowing down the speed of his attack.
Ino's shadow clone pulled out a kunai and stabbed Asuma's throat, but the gap in physical skills between the two was too big. It didn't take even a second before the shadow clone was easily dealt with by Asuma.
With the help of Suiranbo and the shadow clone, Ino finally completed the last technique.
"Water Style. Water Dragon Bomb!" Fifteen consecutive seals were completed quickly, and a water dragon rushed out of the water, carrying a surging impact force, let out a long roar, and crashed straight into Asuma.
"This move is a bit rigid." Asuma commented and took two steps to the left, trying to dodge the water dragon bullet. He noticed from the corner of his eye that Ino did not let go after releasing the water dragon bullet, but instead held the last "酉" seal tightly.
This technique is not over yet? ?
Facing the water ninjutsu of the jonin level, Asuma did not dare to take it head-on. He rushed to the left a few steps. Ino shouted softly, and the winding water dragon, which had already deviated, relied on chakra to control it, turned back, made a turn, and came back again.
"Is this senior Gujie's trick? Interesting!" Asuma finally got serious. He took out his chakra knife and wore it on his hand like a knives-knuckle. He clenched his right hand into a fist, with wind-attribute chakra attached to the chakra knife. He saw the direction from which the water dragon was coming. The light blue chakra was like a sharp blade, and with one stroke he broke the water dragon into pieces from one-third of the way up. Then he advanced instead of retreating and broke through the water array wall.
Ino immediately raised her hands in surrender.
"I give up!"
Asuma put away his chakra knife, thought for a moment and said, "Your water jutsu ability is really good, and your chakra seems to be abundant, but you need to strengthen your close combat training. You can't admit defeat next time when the enemy solves your water jutsu, right?"
For Ino, who aspires to be a turret, she certainly knows that her close combat skills are weak, but she has no choice. After entering puberty, her physical fitness is improving every day. It is a waste to use the pot to increase it before her physical growth reaches the limit.
Anyway, with the Pig, Deer and Butterfly combination, it's pretty good to be a standing turret.
Ino relies on her teammates, and she can increase the melee attributes after her endurance, speed, and precision attributes are full.
She humbly accepted Asma's advice and had no plans to change it for the time being.
Asuma also knew that close combat ability could not be developed in a day or two. It required perseverance, diligence and a lot of sweat.
He taught Ino a famous physical skill, the body-flickering technique, with the purpose of improving her survivability. Later, he combined many water-style ninjutsu and developed a water body-flickering technique that was quite suitable for Ino.
It's impossible for Ino to teleport instantly, as her physical skills level is not very high, but she can use it as a means of escape at a critical moment.
Asuma created a shadow clone to accompany Ino in training on the instant body technique, while he looked at Shikamaru and said, "Come on, boy, attack me!"
Through fighting, he understood the strength of the three people, and then developed different training methods based on their characteristics.
The family secrets did not require his guidance, and he did not want to violate this taboo.
He conducted intensive training targeting the weaknesses of these three people.
He didn't need to worry about Ino and Shikamaru. In his opinion, the former definitely deserved the title of a gifted person. At least Asuma himself definitely didn't have that ability when he was twelve years old. In terms of talent, the older generation didn't count, and he was not familiar with the Uchiha clan. Among the peers he had met, perhaps only Kakashi could surpass Ino in terms of talent.
Shikamaru also has good talent. This boy complains about it, but when the situation really gets tough, he won't give up. He knows exactly what he should do and how to do it.
The real troublemaker is Choji. Even with the encouragement of "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility", the fat guy's mind is still not mature enough. He has not changed his mindset from a student to a ninja. He doesn't quite understand why his companions are working so hard. Most of the time, he just sees Ino and Shikamaru training hard, so he has to train hard too. This mentality is wrong from the root.
Asma is not his father, so there are many things he can't say. He asked Fatty to increase the amount of training! Run laps for me! How many laps? Run until you can't run anymore!
