Chapter 150: Executioner's Blade
"Do you think you can be my opponent with a few more swords?" Biwa Jūzō said with disdain. No matter how elegant Sasuke's three-headed, six-armed form was, his strength seemed average. He believed he could survive three moves at most.
"Wind Breath!" Sasuke whispered. His aura surged, and green marks appeared on his face.
"Huh?" Jūzō felt the dangerous aura and finally made his move.
"Kill!" He brandished the Executioner's Blade in a straight cut.
Sasuke countered with his sword formation. His lower heavy sword blocked the blow, but the force was so immense it almost knocked him down. 'No wonder he dared to cut a Tailed Beast Bomb,' he thought. At the same time, his middle and upper swords attacked Jūzō's arm joints and spine.
"Mist Body Flicker!" Jūzō, understanding the power of the formation, used the technique to narrowly dodge it.
'In terms of physical abilities, he's undoubtedly much stronger than Ryusuke,' Sasuke analyzed. But he wasn't afraid; unlike Ryusuke, Jūzō didn't possess the Hydration Technique, which made him easier to kill.
Jūzō attempted another attack, but Sasuke's six-sword style was like a hedgehog, flawless. Seeing that simple swordsmanship was no match, Jūzō plunged his enormous sword into the ground and formed hand seals.
"Water Style: Hiding in Mist Technique!"
The mist thickened. Then, a threatening voice resonated: "White Blood Demon, eight vital points... which one do you choose?"
"Haha," Sasuke smiled with disdain. Thanks to his radar, he could see everything. He pretended to be on guard, exposing a weakness.
"Go to hell!" Jūzō used the Mist Body Flicker and lunged into the trap.
"Wind Breath, Fifth Form: Random Fish Slice!"
Sasuke attacked with six swords, trapping Jūzō. He snatched the Executioner's Blade and held it with one of his mouths, using his free hands to seal the blade's spiritual talisman. Then, he cast his own Hiding in Mist Technique, making it almost liquid and blocking Jūzō's ability to perceive by sound.
"Jūzō, eight vital points... which one do you choose?" he said, returning the favor.
With a flash, he attacked him. Six swords cut Jūzō's vital points. Although he dodged the fatal blows, he was covered in wounds. He used a secret blood control technique to stop the bleeding, but he couldn't believe it. How could a Konoha ninja surpass him in his own specialty?
Fear showed in his eyes. He fled towards Suikazan Fuguki, who was fighting a mecha puppet. Sasuke didn't pursue him immediately. Instead, he handed the Executioner's Blade to one of his mechas, upgrading its combat power to that of an elite jonin.
Fuguki, who was enjoying himself, was surprised to see Jūzō so badly wounded. "Give me back my sword!" Jūzō shouted, trying to summon it, but Sasuke's seal prevented it.
"Jūzō, you're too weak," Fuguki sneered. "Let me help you."
He formed hand seals, not to summon the Executioner's Blade, but the Hiramekarei swords that another of the mecha puppets was holding.
