Chapter 142: Three Heads and Six Arms
"This path is blocked. Let's keep fighting."
The two mecha puppets blocked the Sunagakure jonin's path. Seeing no hope of breaking through, he could only continue fighting Tekudo, Ryo, and Chomi. After his initial tactic, Tekudo and Chomi began to decline, but Ryo became increasingly brave.
The Sunagakure jonin used a Lightning jutsu on the water he himself had created, electrocuting and knocking out Tekudo and Chomi. Sasuke, observing the battle, shook his head; his subordinates had been careless.
The jonin tried to take the two as hostages, but Sasuke used chakra threads to control them and maintain distance. "Sunagakure Ninja, if you try another trick, the current wager will be void," he warned him.
"White Blood Demon, I will win this time. You won't break your promise."
Scorned by the jonin, Ryo finally used his ultimate attack. He created a shadow clone and then fused with it and Akamaru.
"Inuzuka Style: Hybrid Transformation, Three-Headed Wolf!"
Where there was once a ninja, a dog, and a clone, now stood a monster. Its strength had more than tripled. The jonin faced a whirlwind of rampant taijutsu that completely suppressed him. He was forced to distance himself and use ninjutsu, but the three-headed wolf spun rapidly, unleashing a terrifying tearing force.
"Fang Over Fang!"
"Water Style: Water Formation Wall!" the jonin defended.
The giant spiral spike pierced the water wall but lost most of its force. Still, it hit the jonin, tearing flesh from his arms and chest, but not killing him. The transformation ended, and Ryo and Akamaru fainted.
"Cough, cough! White Blood Demon! I won this battle. You won't break my promise, will you?" the jonin said, ready to commit suicide if necessary.
"I keep my word, you can go," Sasuke replied, to the surprise of his allies.
The jonin escaped less than a mile before encountering Chagakure Ryusuke and Kuji Tokiwa. Ryusuke directly beheaded him with a sword. Moments later, they arrived to report to Sasuke.
"Sasuke-sama, it's not good. The maritime defense fortress has been breached by the Mist ninjas. They're coming this way. Let's run!" Ryusuke said.
"Lord Sasuke, they are led by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. They are extremely powerful," Tokiwa added, fearfully.
"Hahaha!" Sasuke scoffed, looking at Ryusuke. "Should I call you Chagakure Ryusuke or Kirigakure Ryusuke?"
"Sasuke-sama, I don't know what you mean," Ryusuke replied, remaining calm.
Sasuke pointed directly: "The fortress is short on troops. Isn't that the information you provided, Kirigakure spy?"
"Hahaha! As expected of the White Blood Demon, you are truly capable."
Since his identity was exposed, Ryusuke stopped pretending. His previous fawning attitude vanished, replaced by a cold and distant arrogance. He showed no fear at all, despite being surrounded by the Konoha Hundred.
Here is the English translation of your next chapter:
Chapter 142: Three Heads and Six Arms
"Kirigakure Ryusuke, we are not enemies. Why don't we cooperate?" Sasuke proposed, not wanting to antagonize the Mist ninjas.
"White Blood Demon, you're not qualified," Ryusuke replied with disdain. "The true power of your Konoha Hundred is weak. The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist could slaughter you all."
He pointed his sword at Baiyun Yeshan. "You, your swordsmanship is quite good. If you survive three rounds, I'll give you a quick death." Suddenly, his personality changed, becoming erratic and abnormal.
Yeshan said nothing; he simply attacked. Ryusuke dodged with ease, scoffing at his slowness. Yeshan then used his Void Sword, but Ryusuke effortlessly deflected it.
"Good! Very good! You're qualified to die by my sword," Ryusuke laughed, and attacked seriously.
"Damn it!" Sasuke's face changed. "Wind Breath, First Form: Fish Slice!"
He moved like a phantom and blocked Ryusuke's blow, but the residual energy still injured Yeshan.
"Ah? You're a sword master! Interesting!" Ryusuke exclaimed, his eyes filling with a bloodlust that made his attacks more violent. Sasuke activated his Wind Breath, dodging and resisting.
"Heavenly Cut!" Ryusuke shouted, condensing chakra into his blade.
"Wind Breath, Second Form: Water Leaf Cut!" Sasuke counterattacked.
"Wind Breath, Third Form: Ghost Blade Willow!" he continued, unleashing Konoha-Ryū: Yanagi.
Ryusuke, caught in the illusion, instinctively wielded his sword and barely managed to block the attack, receiving a cut on his face. Blood dripped, and licking it, he became even more bloodthirsty.
"Twin Swords: Hiramekarei!" he shouted, and after a cloud of smoke, he appeared wielding the legendary twin swords.
"It seems you are the most mysterious owner of Hiramekarei among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist," Sasuke said, facing a great enemy.
But instead of asking for help, his fighting spirit ignited. He performed a long and complex sequence of hand seals. Ryusuke, arrogant, let him do it.
"Three Heads and Six Arms Technique!"
The smoke dispersed, revealing a form that defied anatomy. Sasuke now had three heads and six arms, a vision of a battle Asura. It was a new ninjutsu, inspired by the Inuzuka's Hybrid Transformation. Its purpose was to give him extra hands to perform combined ninjutsu.
He pulled five more swords from a scroll. "Konoha Six-Sword Style," he declared, his voice resonating from three throats. "Please instruct me."
"Six-Sword Style?" Ryusuke laughed, unconcerned by the name. As long as the skill was strong enough, it would be a blood feast.
