Troy swiftly pulled out a special square shuriken from his Ninja Pouch and infused it with Magnet Release Chakra.
Under the control of Magnet Release Chakra, Troy just needed a slight wave of his hand for it to shoot towards Kakashi like a rain of arrows.
Unlike other users of Magnet Release, Troy developed it into a control technique. He could infuse unique Magnet Release Chakra into a shuriken. Once it touched the body of the shuriken, it would be magnetized and immobilized under his control.
Even though Kakashi didn't touch it with his hands, his weapon being magnetized transmitted directly to his body, just like direct contact.
With his god-level control technique, Troy had killed many Jonin. Anyone unaware of his abilities would easily fall into his trap.
"Teacher Mokgetsu, there's something odd with his shuriken, don't block it head-on with your weapons," Kakashi quickly warned as the bizarre shuriken attacked again, worried Mokgetsu might fall for it like him.
"Fire Release: Impatiens Claw Red!"
Mokgetsu spewed out a large flame, swiftly flinging numerous shurikens. The shurikens, engulfed in high-temperature flames, resembled small fireballs with blades, packing a tremendous force.
Rumble!!
All of Troy's incoming shurikens were instantly blocked, while many small fireballs continued to hurl towards Troy and Oka Hime.
The two immediately dodged the attack by flashing to the sides.
"Such a powerful Fire Release," Troy exclaimed in surprise, seeing all his Magnet Release shurikens intercepted.
His Magnet Release shurikens had two uses: pure control, which consumed less Chakra, and amplifying shuriken power, which consumed more. He had just used the second type.
"I'll engage closely, you find an opportunity," Oka Hime resolutely said, drawing the longsword from her back.
Mokgetsu seemed particularly skilled in Ninjutsu, so Oka Hime hoped to find an opening in close combat.
The Hidden Cloud were renowned for their Lighting Release Nin-Taijutsu. The Hokage might not know Fire Release, but almost every Ninja from Land of Thunder's Hidden Cloud mastered Lighting Release Nin-Taijutsu.
"I'll provide timely support," Troy again pulled out several block shurikens, which hovered around him under Magnet Release Chakra control, ready to shoot at any moment.
Oka Hime's Chakra erupted at her feet, propelling her rapidly towards Mokgetsu using Instant Body Jutsu.
Seeing the enemy trying to engage Mokgetsu in Taijutsu, Kakashi felt relieved. Mokgetsu wasn't just proficient in a single ninja art; despite being strong in Ninjutsu, his Taijutsu was formidable too.
As they drew closer, Oka Hime poured a significant amount of Lightning Attribute Chakra into her sword. Blue electric light enveloped the blade, crackling constantly.
"Want to compare Nin-Taijutsu? I know a little bit too," Mokgetsu chuckled, silently switching his Breathing Technique from Breath of Rock to Breath of Thunder.
"Breath of Thunder, Full Concentration Breath, Lighting Release: Finger Spear!"
An intense electric light burst from Mokgetsu's hand, and with Full Concentration Breathing, his aura instantly became terrifying.
Facing the incoming sword, Mokgetsu extended his right finger to intercept.
On one side, the sword was entwined with lightning; on the other, the finger was enhanced by electricity.
Crackle!!
A massive electric noise erupted, illuminating the darkness around them with bright blue light.
Bang!
The brilliant electric light-coated sword snapped rapidly, and the enormous power sent Oka Hime flying, smashing her through several trees before stopping.
Oka Hime's eyes were filled with incredulous surprise. She couldn't believe her proud Nin-Taijutsu was so easily overpowered.
Mokgetsu's sword-breaking finger reminded Oka Hime of the Third Raikage from their Hidden Cloud, whose Hell Spike technique, a hand-based Nin-Taijutsu, claimed the Strongest Spear title, a terrifying move said to even be unbearable for Tailed Beasts.
"Impossible, how could a Konoha Ninja master Hell Spike? If it were One-Finger Nukite, I'd already be dead," Oka Hime consoled herself, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Even the Third Raikage's child couldn't master that terrifyingly powerful Nin-Taijutsu.
While Oka Hime attacked, Troy wasn't idle, controlling his shuriken from three other directions, aiming at Mokgetsu, coordinating with Oka Hime's frontal assault for an all-round attack.
Yet, Troy hadn't expected Oka Hime to be defeated so swiftly, almost instantly sent flying.
What surprised Troy more was Mokgetsu's forthcoming display of speed. Mokgetsu dodged all the shurikens at a speed Troy couldn't perceive, unable to even graze Mokgetsu's clothing.
"So strong! So fast!" Kakashi, merely able to watch, couldn't help but exclaim.
Just moments before, he'd been worried when Mokgetsu didn't use ultra-fast dodging but instead blocked a sword with his finger. But Mokgetsu's Taijutsu abilities exceeded his expectations!
Moments ago, Kakashi couldn't track Mokgetsu's movements at all; it felt like Mokgetsu moved numerous times in an instant, perfectly dodging every attack.
Reflecting on it, Kakashi wondered why a Ninja of Mokgetsu's caliber was teaching at the Ninja Academy. Did the Academy need teachers this strong, just to teach simple Taijutsu and the Three-Body Jutsu?
Comparatively, Mokgetsu's demonstrated skills could utterly overpower his previous instructors.
"Haha, it seems your companion is no match for Teacher Mokgetsu," Obito laughed, noticing the commotion on Mokgetsu's end.
"It's too soon to jump to conclusions," Rockbee said, feeling uneasy but choosing to trust Troy.
To quickly finish off Obito and assist Troy, Rockbee deliberately left an opening, hoping to lure Obito into an aggressive mistake for a finishing blow.
"Teacher Mokgetsu, I'll be there to assist you soon," Obito felt he was close to defeating his enemy.
"Don't get complacent. The one facing you isn't a sparring partner, but an enemy aiming to kill you," Kakashi couldn't help but warn.
"Damn Kakashi can't move himself but wants to direct me," muttered Obito. Yet, he heeded Kakashi's advice, adopting a cautious approach to his attacks.
Obito didn't want to make a humiliating mistake at this crucial moment. Once it's over, he would have a good laugh at Kakashi's expense.
"Oka Hime, do your best to disrupt him," Troy instructed with a serious expression, retrieving a Scroll to summon two giant, meter-long shurikens.
He was about to unleash his trump card, but due to the astonishing speed Mokgetsu displayed earlier, Troy worried about missing.
First, he used Magnet Release Chakra to magnetize the giant shurikens and then infused them with a substantial amount of Lightning Attribute Chakra. Thus, a high-speed rotating Giant Lighting Release Shuriken was born.
