Isamu signaled his teammates to attack and shuriken came out of a bush but Kazuki's team dodged easily.
What followed that was terrifying. It was a dragon made of fire making its way towards Yuki. The fire dragon was also enhanced using wind-style jutsu.
Yuki had sensed their chakra building up and was prepared to use a small earth wall but she didn't expect the jutsu to be this powerful.
Yuki made an earth wall but it was small compared to the collaboration jutsu, so it left some small burns on her body.
Kazuki said, "Yuki, stay alert, they are strong."
Isamu made some hand signs and used wind bullets at Yuki.
Ryuma moved with a flicker as he blocked every single bullet with his sword.
Ryuma looked Isamu in the eye and said, "I am your opponent, so aim here."
The Inuzuka also unsheathed his blade and they clashed, both of them were using Wind Chakra flow.
On the other side, Kazuki used Fire Release: Dragon Fire Jutsu while Yuki used a jutsu that left Kazuki shocked.
'Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld.'
A swamp formed below the legs of the 2 Genins. One of them managed to jump, while the second couldn't.
The name of the Genin who couldn't jump was Kaminari and he made a few hand signs before the Fire Dragon collided with him.
A loud sound was heard and smoke was formed in the area.
The smoke slowly cleared and Kaminari was completely fine but his whole skin was black and smoking.
Kazuki thought, 'Tsk, Iron skin jutsu, but I know how to deal with him and I was dying to try this technique on someone.'
He said, "Yuki, can you handle the one who jumped? I'll deal with this one."
Yuki nodded, "Leave him to me. I was just caught off guard that time."
The ground turned to normal and Kazuki used Body flicker to close the distance between him and Kaminari.
Kazuki stopped a few meters away from him and made some hand signs, then raised his hand.
Fire Release: Fire Fox.
Multiple large Balls of fire appeared above Kazuki, Kaminari also made some hand signs and used Earth Release: Stone Bullets.
The balls struck the earth bullets as Kazuki pointed his hand forward, and the remaining fireballs struck Kaminari, covering him in smoke.
Kazuki created two wind clones and made them use the Gale Palm Jutsu to launch himself in Kaminari's direction.
Kazuki created a Rasengan on his palm and struck Kaminari in the stomach, launching him several meters into the air.
Just as Kazuki was about to exhale with relief, he felt something. "How and when did they get here?" he thought.
Yuki was engaged in a long-range Jutsu battle with her opponent, who was finding it difficult to keep up with her.
"It's time to finish this," Yuki thought.
She started making some hand signs.
After making a total of 29 hand signs, she was finally ready to use the jutsu.
Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet.
A large dragon made of water appeared in front of Yuki and charged towards her opponent at a rapid speed.
Her opponent also made some hand signs and made an earth wall to defend but the dragon smashed through the wall and hit the ninja, knocking him out.
Yuki suddenly sensed something coming towards her and dodged it by sidestepping. It turned out to be a shuriken.
Yuki thought, 'Why am I sensing chakra in it?'
At the same time Kazuki came running and shouted, "YUKI! GET AWAY FROM THERE!!"
Yuki realized what Kazuki was trying to say but she was too late and the shuriken exploded a few meters away from her.
Yuki was some distance away from the explosion, so she didn't get any fatal injury, but her left foot got hurt by the debris that came flying towards her.
Yuki looked at the direction the kunai had come from and saw a yellow-haired boy and two other people standing there.
Ryuma's opponent was far stronger than he had expected and both of them had suffered injuries in the battle. Ryuma suffered a shallow slash on the chest which caused his clothes to stain in blood while Isamu lost his left arm.
Isamu used some kind of smoke bomb and managed to escape from there alive.
Kazuki rushed towards Yuki and said, "Are you okay? Did you get hurt somewhere?"
Yuki replied, "I am okay, but I used most of my chakra while fighting that guy. It's my fault we ended up in this position, I made the wrong decision. We should have run away."
Kazuki said, "It's not the time to blame yourself, Yuki. I don't know if your decision was right or wrong but I know one thing, that they are not getting away with what they did to your leg."
Kazuki unsheathed his blade when he said that, immediately igniting it with fire.
"Now take this, you bastards!" Kazuki said as he slashed the air horizontally.
A huge arc of flame formed and charged towards Deidara and his team.
All of them were shocked and barely dodged it.
The arc of flame collided with the hill behind them and left a deep scar in it.
Kazuki thought, 'Too bad I can't spam this. It used very high amount of my chakra.'
Kazuki charged at Akatsuchi with his sword and said, "Ryuma, I'm leaving Deidara to you. Use lightning style against him, it'll nullify his explosions but stay alert he can even throw hundreds of small marbles at you that explode at impact."
Deidara thought, 'Damn it! How does he know about my weakness.'
Ryuma nodded and charged at Deidara, who threw some items at him, which he easily deflected by using lightning chakra flow in his sword. It wasn't as good as his wind chakra flow but he had practiced it just in case.
Kurotsuchi made some hand signs in order to assist Deidara but Yuki noticed it and threw some shuriken at her.
Kazuki was pushing Akatsuchi back, who was using 2 jutsu at the same time to counter Kazuki's chakra flow.
One was Iron Skin Jutsu, and the second was Earth Release: Stone Fist, but he was still struggling against Kazuki.
Suddenly Kazuki sensed something, and it shook him.
Kazuki shouted, "Yuki, Ryuma, we have to deal with them quickly, or we are going to be surrounded soon."
