Chapter 7: Teammates Should be in Sync
After arriving at training ground No. 16, Nagasawa looked at the three and said lightly,
"Use everything you got. Don't be afraid of hurting me because it's impossible."
Hearing this, Ensui couldn't help but frown. Nagasawa basically said that even if the three of them tried their best, they would not be able to hurt him.
Kakashi was a Jonin. And even though Ensui didn't think he was that strong, in terms of abilities, he should be around a Special Jonin-level.
And Midori Inuzuka was also a member of a well-known Clan. He believed that this team should be strong enough.
Even the elites among Jonin might not be able to defeat the three of them without any injury.
Just for information, the three of them were either genius Jonin or had a unique secret technique.
Unless they were up against a Kage like Minato or Hiruzen, Ensui believed that they wouldn't go down that easily.
Salt Water did not think that Nagasawa had that level of strength at such a young age. Although the Fourth was also around his age, he was an exception.
Midori Inuzuka seemed to be raring to go, too, as she rubbed his hands, ready to fight. She was not the same little girl who went after the bell like back then!
Only Kakashi seemed to have a bitter face, as if he knew that nothing but a defeat awaited them.
Ensui quickly assumed the commanding role, "Inuzuka, since you're good at Taijutsu, engage him in close combat. Hatake, prepare your lightning attack in the meantime."
"Fang Passing Fang!"
Midori Inuzuka and Ashimaru that had transformed into Midori Inuzuka rotated their bodies together, forming two powerful tornadoes aimed at Nagasawa.
The grass along their path was minced into pieces. The ground was also plowed leaving two traces on the ground.
However, in the face of such an attack, Nagasawa didn't even bother to dodge.
This made Ensui confused. Facing such a powerful attack, if he didn't dodge, did he plan to stop it head-on?
Ensui stared at Nagasawa, ready to use Shadow Imitation to immobilize him.
But even if Midori Inuzuka's attack was only one meter away from Nagasawa, Nagasawa didn't seem to have any intention of moving. His legs were motionless, and he didn't do any hand seal to use ninjutsu. Instead, he raised his fist.
Nagasawa used Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power, and a blueish bubble enveloped his fist as he struck the two whirlwinds.
Boom!!!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
The collision of the two forces instantly caused an explosion in the air, and the impact blew everything in the surrounding away.
Crack! Crack!
Suddenly, the mirror cracking-like sound was heard.
When Ensui looked over, he noticed that the crack appeared on the two whirlwinds as if they were about to be torn apart.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A huge explosion sounded, and two whirlwinds burst into an explosion, dissipating in the air.
Midori Inuzuka and Ashimaru also seemed to have suffered a heavy blow as they were blasted away before slamming to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Kakashi's eyebrows wrinkle. It sure seemed painful.
"Hatake, go!" Ensui quickly shouted.
Kakashi looked over. It turned out that during the explosion, under the cover of the dust and smoke, Ensui directly used Shadow Imitation to immobilize Nagasawa.
"Quick! I can't hold on for long!" Sweats dripped on Ensui's forehead as he shouted again.
This was the first time he got this tired from using the Shadow Imitation. It felt like what he trapped was not a human but a terrifying wild beast.
Little did he know that Nagasawa didn't want to hurt him, so he deliberately restrained her strength to let Ensui control him.
Otherwise, Ensui would be instantly injured right after using Shadow Imitation Technique because the difference in power between them was too far apart.
That was just a testament to how terrifying Whitebeard was. Even in his old age and injured state, he stopped a big ship on his own.
Even without the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Whitebeard was still a force to be reckoned with.
Kakashi gritted his teeth and concentrated the chakra in his body to his hand.
Zi, zi, zi!
The blue lightning on his palm looked kind of like a blue lightning blade.
The powerful lightning chakra boosted Kakashi's speed as he ran straight toward Nagasawa.
Facing Kakashi, who was rushing toward him, Nagasawa seemed to remain motionless as he was controlled by Ensui's Shadow Imitation.
Kakashi was so fast that he almost instantly arrived in front of Nagasawa. Kakashi's Sharingan could even clearly see the hair on Nagasawa's body.
Kakashi hesitated for a second at this moment as Chidori was very powerful. If Nagasawa really couldn't move whatsoever, he might die because of Chidori.
His Chidori was strong at the same time, and it had the ability to change nature and form at the same time.
The only drawback was that the user moved too fast, which caused a tunnel vision-like effect to the user to see the opponent, causing them to be susceptible to counterattack, but Sharingan could overcome this drawback due to its heightened visual perception preventing the tunnel vision from occurring.
"Kakashi, you have seen my power and still hesitates? Are you looking down on me?" Nagasawa shouted.
Kakashi found that Nagasawa was now covered with a layer of black substance - like a statue of an iron man.
This time, Kakashi did not hesitate. His right hand, which was flashing with blue lightning, directly pierced Nagasawa's chest.
Zi, zi, zi!
The powerful blue lightning raged on Nagasawa's body, but it couldn't get past Color of Arms Haki's defense and caused no injury to Nagasawa.
Kakashi felt like he had just used Chidori on an extremely hard piece of iron. No matter how strong his lightning was, it could not penetrate it.
On the contrary, it was his hand that was hurt by the recoil.
Seeing this scene, Ensui was also dumbfounded.
Lightning Release had always been famous for its destructive power, and Kakashi's Lightning Release was clearly a powerful one.
Even though this level of attack did land since Nagasawa was immobilized by Shadow Imitation Technique, it didn't harm Nagasawa whatsoever.
Ensui didn't know what to say. This was weird. It was clearly different from what he learned in the Academy. It was different from what the elders in his clan taught.
Feeling that it was about time, Nagasawa no longer restrained his strength and instantly broke free from the Shadow Imitation Technique.
Ensui's body shook slightly, and a mouthful of blood dripped out from the corner of his mouth.
Sou!
Kakashi only felt a blur in front of him, and Nagasawa in front of him instantly disappeared. At the same time, a powerful force came from behind him.
Kakashi was instantly sent flying by Nagasawa's punch, and he laid down next to Midori Inuzuka.
When Ensui saw this scene, he felt a little bad in his heart, but he quickly wanted to admit defeat, "We..."
Before he finished speaking, he was kicked away toward Kakashi and Midori Inuzuka by Nagasawa, who flashed over and kicked him.
Nagasawa clapped his hands, feeling very satisfied. They were all teammates, so they had to lie down together.
