To Darui's surprise, Wan'er's spinning kick was just a feint. After kicking, she quickly retracted her leg and put it down. After Darui's sword strike missed, Wan'er swiftly turned her body and unleashed her other leg with full force, delivering a whip kick directly to Darui's face.
Smack! Darui's cheek was struck, sending him flying horizontally across the arena, leaving a long trail.
"Darui!" The Fourth Raikage on the platform couldn't help but shout upon seeing this.
"Damn it!" Darui, having been kicked away, immediately got back up, his face burning. Although covered in lightning chakra, Wan'er's kick hadn't caused him any significant damage. However, being kicked away by a mere child in front of everyone made him feel utterly humiliated.
After kicking Darui away, Wan'er stood smiling on the ground and gestured towards Darui with an inviting motion. This beautiful two-stage kick was something she had learned from Might Guy.
"Little girl, you've got some skill…" Seeing Wan'er's gesture, Darui could no longer contain himself. Like a maddened beast, his body erupted in dazzling lightning, transforming into a bolt of lightning as he charged towards Wan'er.
"Cloud Style: Crescent Moon Slash!!"
Upon reaching Wan'er, Darui swiftly swung his katana, unleashing three crescent-shaped sword energies that shot rapidly towards Wan'er.
Seeing the three sword energies rapidly approaching her, Wan'er dared not be careless. When she had kicked Darui away earlier, she knew she hadn't inflicted any significant damage on this elite jonin. The Cloud Hidden ninjutsu, whether in offense or defense, could be considered top-tier in the ninja world.
"Chakra Scalpel!!!"
Wan'er unleashed three palm strikes in rapid succession. After fusing with the Dragon Vein, her chakra, which had far surpassed the peak of jonin level, erupted. Three invisible blades formed from chakra instantly shattered Darui's three sword energies. Her body moved with ghost-like speed, closing in on Darui and infusing her monstrous strength into the chakra blades as she attacked.
"That bizarre chakra blade! Getting hit by that would be troublesome…" Seeing that his Cloud Style: Crescent Moon Slash had failed, and the brat before him was now launching a series of incredibly fierce palm strikes, Darui was in agony. He knew he absolutely could not be struck by the chakra blades, or the consequences would be unimaginable.
With a sudden retreat, Darui indeed chose to abandon a direct taijutsu confrontation with Wan'er. Although Cloud Hidden ninjas were skilled in close combat and swordsmanship, he couldn't gain any advantage against Wan'er in these areas.
"That little girl is actually gaining the upper hand in taijutsu against Darui. It seems we can't underestimate her…" The Fourth Raikage, watching the situation in the arena intently, couldn't help but start to feel nervous.
...
In the arena, although he was at a disadvantage in close combat, Darui couldn't afford to be nervous. While Cloud Hidden ninjas were skilled in close combat, for him, he was even more proficient in ninjutsu combat!
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Without further thought, Darui formed hand seals, and an identical shadow clone instantly appeared beside him.
"Little girl, let's see how you handle this! Lightning Style: Double Black Ant!!!"
Darui and his shadow clone simultaneously formed hand seals. Both of them unleashed leopard-shaped black lightning. These two streams of black lightning converged into one and lunged at Wan'er with extreme speed.
"Is this the Third Raikage's Black Lightning? Interesting…" Kaoru watched the scene in the arena with a smile, sighing.
"Hmm…" Seeing the charging black lightning leopards, Wan'er frowned slightly. Then, she moved, vanishing from her original spot.
"Don't think you can dodge this!!!" Darui shouted as he saw her move. The leopard-shaped black lightning suddenly exploded, covering a large area of the arena, almost completely blocking the space in front of Wan'er, leaving her with no escape.
"I see. Black lightning can be freely controlled in terms of range. It's indeed a decent ninjutsu…" The Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, narrowed his pupils and analyzed.
"This way, that little girl will have no choice but to tank it…" Mei Terumī said, her beautiful eyes also observing the situation in the arena.
However, looking at the charging black lightning, Wan'er showed no panic. She exerted a slight force in her eyes, and her three tomoe instantly connected, forming the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan!
"Amaterasu!!!"
"Swish!!!"
Just as the black lightning was about to strike Wan'er, black flames, also of a dark hue, instantly appeared in front of Wan'er and collided with the lightning!
"BOOM!!!"
For a moment, between Darui and Wan'er, two black ninjutsu clashed fiercely, completely dyeing the entire battlefield black!
"Black flames, what is this…" The moment Amaterasu appeared, the faces of the other four Kage were filled with shock!
"Black lightning… it seems to be being consumed by those black flames!!!" Gaara exclaimed, seeing Amaterasu's range rapidly expanding.
"This is the legendary, never-extinguishing fire that can devour everything, summoned from the center of the sun. It can consume everything…" Just as the four Kage were astonished, Kaoru explained calmly, then looked at the Fourth Raikage with a playful smile. "Of course, it can also consume your precious black lightning, which your guard is so proud of…"
"How could this be…" The Fourth Raikage's face turned ashen. Seeing the Black Ant Double Executioner, which Darui had unleashed, being consumed by Amaterasu, he was utterly frustrated.
"Tch, such a troublesome ninjutsu…" Seeing the black flames devouring his lightning style and then surging towards him like a tide, Darui gritted his teeth. After several Body Flicker Jutsu movements, he retreated to the edge of the arena.
"Game over!!!" Meanwhile, Wan'er shouted charmingly and moved, lunging towards Darui!
"Good! Let me show you my Kekkei Genkai!!!" Seeing Wan'er charging at him, Darui's expression turned cold, and he clasped his hands together!
Storm Release: Lazer Circus!!!
A burst of intense light erupted from Darui's clasped hands. The Storm Release, formed from lightning and water, caused a barrage of powerful lasers to erupt from Darui's hands!
"Storm Release is a ninjutsu combining lightning and water release. The attack power and destructive force of the lasers released by this technique originate from 'lightning,' but pure lightning cannot be controlled freely. Due to the addition of the 'water' attribute, this technique can flow freely like water. The lightning becomes controllable lasers whose direction and angle can be freely manipulated, achieving guidance capabilities…" Darui analyzed internally as he unleashed the Storm Release.
"As long as I control the Storm Release to avoid the black flames released by that little girl and attack her from another direction, I'll win this battle!"
Seeing several blinding lasers shooting directly towards her, Wan'er's eyes turned cold!
"Amaterasu!!!"
"Now!!!" Darui's pupils contracted. The moment Wan'er used Amaterasu, he willed it, and the lasers veered unnaturally in mid-air, bypassing the newly formed black flames and attacking from Wan'er's flank!
"BOOM!!!"
Several lasers struck Wan'er's position, instantly creating a massive cloud of smoke, making it impossible for even Darui, standing closest, to see Wan'er's current situation…
"I succeeded! My Storm Release definitely hit her!" Darui smiled and lowered his hands. He clearly saw that at the last moment, Wan'er had not dodged his Storm Release.
"My apologies, Sixth Hokage. The girl you sent has lost…" A faint smile appeared on the Fourth Raikage's face. He turned his head and said to Kaoru, "Oh, and by the way, Darui's Storm Release is extremely powerful. If you don't take that little girl for treatment now, she might die…"
"Heh… No need for the Fourth Raikage's concern. There's no need," Kaoru said, shaking his head slightly, still maintaining his calm demeanor. "Just Storm Release… there's nothing to worry about."
