Chapter 193: Steam Ninja Han
"I wonder if Tōshi's side is going smoothly."
Han, who was wearing red armor, almost completely ignored the many strong enemies in front of him, and instead, he thought about the actions of the other team.
As for the Konoha crowd on the opposite side, although they could clearly see the enemy's contemptuous attitude, not only did they not get angry in their hearts, but they also hoped that the arrogant enemy could continue to delay like this. When the supporting ninja arrived one after another, it was not yet certain who would be despising whom.
But unfortunately, Han's contemplation only lasted for a short while, and then he slowly walked toward Hiashi Hyuga and the others.
As he walked, a trace of steam suddenly emerged from various parts of his body, and then more and more until his entire body was covered in it.
"Steam Armor."
Han could strengthen his taijutsu in battle by manipulating the power of steam, and his basic qualities would also be significantly enhanced. This could be seen from his title "Steam Ninja."
It could be said that Han was a jinchuriki who was completely specialized in taijutsu. This was very rare among the successive jinchuriki.
Regarding his intelligence, the four people on the opposite side had long since memorized it. However, in the face of such an extremely strong enemy, the four people had no good solution for a while.
But fortunately, both the Hyuga and the Uchiha had immense confidence in their close combat, and with Choza Akimichi, whose strength was no less than theirs, here, the three of them were confident that they could stop the enemy.
As for Shikaku Nara, his Shadow Possession Jutsu might pose a certain threat to Han, but the chakra of a jinchuriki was not something he could easily control. So, his duty was to try to hold him at a critical moment and create an opportunity for his comrades.
As the steam became thicker and thicker, a sound like a train whistle suddenly sounded in the air, and then Han's figure rushed over at an extremely fast speed.
"Steam Rush."
Although they had repeatedly overestimated the enemy's strength, when they truly faced him, besides Uchiha Ukyo, who had the Sharingan, the other three were all sent flying by the dense steam before they could react.
After sending them flying, Han did not stop to fight, but with the push of the steam power, he rushed toward the medical unit's station in the rear with even greater speed.
Countless Konoha ninja were sent flying along the way. The stronger ones were fine, but the weaker ones were directly hit into serious injuries or even died on the spot. Han's power alone had almost suppressed the more than a hundred people on the opposite side.
Seeing that Han's target was locked on the medical unit, Uchiha Ukyo ignored the three who were struggling to get up. With a burst of chakra from his feet, he instantly chased after him. At the same time, a dazzling flash of lightning in his hand instantly attracted countless attention.
With the speed bonus from the Chidori, Uchiha Ukyo wanted to intercept the enemy outside the station, but he found that the distance between the two not only did not shorten but also became farther and farther.
"This speed and continuous burst of power, Kyosuke might... no, his speed is indeed faster than Kyosuke's. Damn it," Uchiha Ukyo said with a helpless smile, and his pace once again quickened a few steps as he charged at the enemy.
In his mind, even if the enemy's speed was indeed extraordinary, as long as his Chidori could successfully hit him, he would definitely be able to stall for the reinforcements of the others. At that time, the enemy, who would be surrounded, would lose his strongest weapon, speed.
Unfortunately, Ukyo did not know that speed was not Han's strongest point. His strongest point was his incredibly terrifying brute strength.
In the original story, at what level was the Naruto who had activated the Nine-Tails chakra mode? But in the process of close combat, he was still kicked far away by him. This showed that his brute strength was not to be underestimated.
Sure enough, when Han noticed Ukyo's approach, a ferocious smile flashed across his face. Then, without any intention of dodging, he stood there and waited for the enemy's arrival.
When the dazzling flash of lightning was about to hit, Han finally made a move, and his counterattack was also very simple.
Sink his waist, throw a punch.
With a thump, the fist, wrapped in dense steam, directly broke through Ukyo's Chidori and finally slammed into his chest.
Instantly, Uchiha Ukyo was sent flying back at a speed faster than he had come. If it weren't for Choza Akimichi's quick hands and eyes to catch him, he would probably have flown out of the medical unit's camp.
"Ugh..." In order to catch Ukyo, Choza had used all his strength but was still pushed back several meters by the impact. This was him. If it were anyone else, they would probably have flown out of the camp with Ukyo long ago.
After Hiashi Hyuga and the other's peripheral vision noticed this scene, their advancing steps couldn't help but pause for a moment, and then they could only brace themselves and continue to charge at the enemy.
They had no choice. If the two of them didn't go, there would be no one in the entire camp who could stop Han's rampage. At that time, the consequences of the medical ninja's large-scale casualties were something no one could bear.
"Haha, well come," Han said, looking at the bulging veins at Hiashi Hyuga's eyes. He laughed and charged up to meet him.
He asked himself, in the entire ninja world, there were few who dared to fight him in close combat. He had long wanted to experience the power of the Gentle Fist. For this, he temporarily gave up on his original target and was preparing to fight the enemy first to satisfy his craving.
Hiashi Hyuga, seeing the enemy charge at him, felt the huge pressure coming from the plane, and without a second thought, he stopped his steps and his body instantly began to spin at a high speed.
"Rotation."
The secret technique, known as absolute defense, was thus displayed before Han's eyes.
"Good move," Han praised silently. But despite his praise, his pace did not slow down in the slightest. With the push of the steam, it was even faster by a few points.
The strong steam fully mobilized the power in his body, making his activation reach its peak in almost an instant. Even the skin under his armor turned red.
"Boil Release: Peerless Strength."
Boom!
The fist, which seemed to be able to shatter everything, and the high-speed rotating Rotation suddenly collided. After only a few seconds of stalemate, Hiashi Hyuga's Rotation failed, and his entire body was sent flying back, spitting blood.
With a single punch, Hiashi Hyuga was seriously injured and defeated.
"Ahahaha," surrounded by steam, Han's laughter was so hearty, and at the same time, so piercing.
Just as everyone was filled with despair, Choza Akimichi finally arrived.
With the release of the Multi-Size Technique, his body suddenly expanded by a few punches, and then his entire body curled into a ball and charged madly at Han.
"Human Bullet Tank."
Along the way, the ground where the Human Bullet Tank had passed was filled with dust, and its charging momentum was no less than the opponent's.
"Boring. I'm getting a little tired of playing," Han said, his feet not moving, and with a single hand, he caught the madly spinning meatball. Just as he was preparing to send the enemy flying, he was surprised to find that his body couldn't move.
"Shadow Possession Jutsu, success," the corner of Shikaku Nara's mouth curled up in the distance.
It turned out that when Choza Akimichi had used the Human Bullet Tank, Shikaku Nara's shadow had already quietly controlled him. This was in order to be able to make physical contact with Han's body and thus connect their shadows.
Han, who had not seen the Zhuludie's coordinated tactics, was hit without any surprise.
While Han was still struggling to break free, Choza's body expanded again, and in the end, he became a giant several dozen meters high.
"Super Multi-Size Technique."
"Hah!" With a roar, his fist, which was several times larger than Han's entire body, was swung with force, and it crashed down on him like it was blotting out the sun.
"No choice," in this moment of crisis, red-colored chakra suddenly emerged from Han's body. The moment his fist was pressed down, his entire form had undergone a great change.
Boom!
The powerful impact made the entire camp tremble a few times, but this attack was not enough to defeat the jinchuriki who had activated his Tailed Beast transformation.
Under everyone's gaze, Choza Akimichi's huge fist was lifted from below bit by bit. Although he had used all his strength, he was still no match for the Han under his fist.
Roar! With a roar, the Tailed Beast transformed Han lifted Choza Akimichi's fist. If it weren't for Choza Akimichi seeing that he was no match and timely dispelling his transformation, what awaited him would be an incredibly terrifying blow.
"Whew... what a terrifyingly powerful strength," Choza Akimichi said to his comrade beside him with a lingering fear.
"That's right. After he transformed, my shadow was instantly broken free by him. I couldn't even interfere," Shikaku Nara said, looking at his friend's grave expression, his mind quickly thinking of a way to defeat the enemy.
But in the face of a jinchuriki who had already transformed, ordinary methods were of no use. For this, he greatly missed Inoichi Yamanaka, who was far away in another camp. If Inoichi were here, it would be much easier to deal with the enemy.
At this time, Uchiha Ukyo and the seriously injured, coughing blood Hiashi Hyuga also walked over. The four of them once again stood side by side, facing the strong enemy before them.
Meanwhile, the result of Tōshi's squad's battle had been revealed.
This squad, which had been chosen for the important task of destroying Konoha's supply line, was undoubtedly strong. But that was only in normal circumstances. In the face of the strange Tobi, these people's methods were still a bit lacking.
As far as the eye could see, this area was now covered in blood. Besides the fainted Tōshi, who had fallen to the ground, the rest had all been killed by the rising trees.
Tobi's spiral-shaped body opened, and a ninja with a Konoha forehead protector fell out. He crushed his head with a single stomp, and Tobi stuffed the unconscious Tōshi back into his body.
"Mm, this person's strength is not bad. I can use him for a while," Tobi said, rubbing his chin with his hand, his tone strange as he muttered to himself.
Suddenly, a few white, human-shaped bodies rose from the ground at his feet. They were ordinary White Zetsu clones.
Tobi turned to look at them as they all transformed into the appearance of Tōshi and the others, and he said with a chuckle, "Well, the show is about to begin."
