Chapter 173: Attack Like a Hellish Stab

Troy quickly pulled out a specially made square Shuriken from his Ninja tool pouch and then infused it with Magnet Release Chakra.

Controlled by the Magnet Release Chakra, Troy merely waved his hand, and the Shuriken shot towards Kakashi like a rain of arrows.

Unlike other Magnet Release users, Troy had researched Magnet Release into a control technique; he could infuse unique Magnet Release Chakra into the Shuriken, and as soon as a body touched the Shuriken, it would be magnetized and then immobilized under his control.

Although Kakashi did not touch it with his hand, the weapon being magnetized directly transferred to his body, just like touching it with his hand.

Relying on this divine control skill, Troy had killed many Jonin; anyone unaware of his ability could easily fall victim.

“Muzuki Sensei, his Shuriken is strange; don’t block it directly with your weapon,” Kakashi quickly warned when the bizarre Shuriken attacked again, worried that Muzuki might also fall victim like him.

“Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Flower Claw Crimson!”

Muzuki spewed a large amount of flames, then quickly threw out many Shuriken; the Shuriken, burning with high-temperature flames, were like small fireballs with sharp edges, exceptionally powerful.

Boom!

All the Shuriken Troy shot were instantly blocked, and many small fireballs continued to fly towards Troy and Gang Ximei.

The two immediately dodged the fireball attacks by flashing away.

“Such powerful Fire Release,” Troy exclaimed in surprise when his Magnet Release Shuriken was completely intercepted.

His Magnet Release Shuriken had two uses: one was pure control, which consumed less Chakra, and the other was to consume more Chakra to enhance the Shuriken’s power; he had just used the second type.

“I’ll go forward and engage, and you look for an opportunity,” Gang Ximei said with a determined expression, drawing the long sword from her back.

Muzuki seemed like a Ninja who was particularly skilled in Ninjutsu, so Gang Ximei wanted to find an opportunity through close combat.

Kumogakure’s specialty was Lightning Release Ninja Body Technique; a Hokage might not know Fire Release, but almost all Kumogakure Ninja in the Land of Lightning knew a bit of Lightning Release Ninja Body Technique.

“I will provide timely support,” Troy pulled out many more square Shuriken; under the control of Magnet Release Chakra, the Shuriken floated around him, ready to be launched at any time.

Chakra burst from Gang Ximei’s feet, and she rapidly approached Muzuki using Body Flicker Technique.

Seeing the enemy wanted to play Taijutsu with Muzuki, Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief; Muzuki was not a specialized Ninja; although his Ninjutsu was strong, Muzuki’s Taijutsu was also not bad.

Upon gradually approaching, Gang Ximei immediately infused a large amount of Lightning Release Chakra into the sharp sword in her hand; blue electrical light enveloped the sword, constantly crackling.

“Want to compare Ninja Body Technique? I also know a little,” Muzuki chuckled, silently switching his Breathing Technique from Rock Breathing to Thunder Breathing.

“Thunder Breathing, Total Concentration Breathing, Lightning Release: Finger Gun!”

Dazzling electrical light burst from Muzuki’s hand, and with the use of Total Concentration Breathing, his aura instantly became terrifying.

Facing the incoming sharp sword, Muzuki chose to extend his right index finger and point it out.

On one side was a sharp sword wrapped in lightning, and on the other was a finger enhanced with lightning.

Zzzzt!

Loud electrical noise erupted, and a large blue light burst between the two, dispelling some of the surrounding darkness.

Clang!

The sharp sword, wrapped in dazzling electrical light, instantly broke, and under the immense force, Gang Ximei was violently sent flying backward, smashing through several large trees before stopping.

Gang Ximei’s eyes were filled with an incredible look of surprise; she couldn’t believe that her proud Ninja Body Technique had been so utterly crushed.

Muzuki’s one-finger sword break reminded Gang Ximei of their Kumogakure’s Third Raikage; the Third Raikage had a secret technique called Hell Stab, which was also a Ninja Body Technique using a finger; when only one finger was used, it was known as the strongest spear, a terrifying Ninja Body Technique that even a Tailed Beast could not withstand.

“Impossible, how could a Konoha Ninja master Hell Stab? If it were a One-Finger Nukite, I would already be dead,” Gang Ximei, who had spit out a large mouthful of blood, comforted herself.

It was known that even the Third Raikage’s child had not been able to master that terrifyingly powerful Ninja Body Technique.

While Gang Ximei attacked, Troy was not idle; he manipulated the Shuriken from the other three sides to stab towards Muzuki, complementing Gang Ximei’s frontal assault, making it an all-around attack.

However, Troy did not expect Gang Ximei to be defeated so quickly; she was almost instantly sent flying.

What surprised Troy even more was the speed Muzuki then displayed; Muzuki dodged all the Shuriken at a speed he couldn’t perceive, his Shuriken couldn’t even touch the corner of Muzuki’s clothes.

“So strong! So fast!” Kakashi, who could only watch, couldn’t help but exclaim.

He had been a little worried when he saw Muzuki not using super-fast movement to dodge but instead using his finger to directly confront the enemy’s sharp sword, but it turned out Muzuki’s Taijutsu was even stronger than he had thought!

Kakashi could no longer clearly see Muzuki’s movement speed; he only felt that Muzuki moved many times in an instant, perfectly dodging all attacks.

After exclaiming, Kakashi was puzzled; a Ninja of Muzuki’s strength was actually teaching at the Ninja Academy; did the Ninja Academy need such a strong teacher? It was just teaching simple Taijutsu and Three Body Technique.

Comparing them might seem a bit heartless, but the strength Muzuki displayed could easily defeat his previous instructor.

“Haha, it seems your companion is no match for Muzuki Sensei,” Obito laughed, noticing the commotion from Muzuki’s side.

“It’s too early to say that,” Locke Bee, although he also felt something was amiss, still chose to trust Troy.

To quickly deal with Obito and help Troy, Locke Bee deliberately exposed a weakness, making Obito seem to be gaining ground, waiting for Obito to overextend before finishing him off with one blow.

“Muzuki Sensei, I’ll be over to help you very soon,” Obito felt he was about to defeat the enemy in front of him.

“Don’t get carried away; the person in front of you is not a teammate you’re sparring with, but an enemy who wants to kill you,” Kakashi couldn’t help but remind him.

“Damn Kakashi, he can’t move himself but still wants to order me around,” Although Obito cursed under his breath, he did indeed follow Kakashi’s advice, making his attacks much more conservative.

He didn’t want to make a mistake and lose face at such an important moment; when it was over, he would definitely mock Kakashi for a while.

“Gang Ximei, interfere with him to the best of your ability,” Troy ordered with a serious expression, then took out a scroll and summoned two giant Shuriken, over a meter long.

He was going to use his ultimate move, but due to the speed Muzuki had just displayed, Troy was worried he wouldn’t hit.

Troy first used Magnet Release Chakra to magnetize the giant Shuriken, then infused a large amount of Lightning Release Chakra into it, thus creating a high-speed rotating giant Lightning Release Shuriken.

Let’s sleep; that’s all for today.
