[Water Release- Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu]
[Earth Release- Earth Dragon Bullet Jutsu]
[Lightning Release- False Darkness]
[Wind Release- Great Vacuum Sphere]
[Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet Jutsu]
"What the fuck?"
Yamato couldn't help but curse when he saw five different elemental natures rushing towards him at an incredible speed.
[Wood Release- World of Trees Wall]
Several thick branches grew from the ground at an incredible speed, forming a thick defensive net in front of him.
The Water dragon struck the branches with so much force that the impact shook the branches, which were finally struck by the penetrating force of the false darkness.
The lightning pierced through the branches and went straight for Yamato, but with his incredible speed, Yamato managed to dodge the attack.
On the other hand, the Vacuum Sphere cut through the branches that were weakened by the Fire and Water dragon's impact and tore through the defenses.
Finally, the Earth Dragon Bullet rushed towards Yamato, followed by the Fire Dragon that merged with the mud bullets.
Because the range of this attack was unlike False Dragon, Yamato couldn't move around to dodge them.
Instead, he was forced to block the attack.
[Earth Release- Earth-Style Wall]
A huge wall of earth emerged from the ground and blocked the upcoming wave of mud bullet covered in flame.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Because of the insane durability of the earth wall, the attack couldn't break through.
'Incredible! He could've used this Jutsu before, but he knew the Water Dragon Jutsu would have more than enough power to break through.'
'So, he resorted to Wood Release that could absorb the impact of the water dragon.'
'He relied on his speed to dodge false darkness, but instead of running away, he used Earth Style wall to block the upcoming attacks.'
'But why would he do that?'
The next moment, he understood why.
The impact of fire fire-covered mud bullet managed to break the earth-style wall, but the stones and rock remained on the ground.
[Earth Release- Earth Flow Spear]
By simply pouring a little bit of Chakra into these stones and rocks, he manipulated them into sharp spears and extended them towards Naruto.
'Shit!'
Naruto cursed before jumping back, but those spears kept expanding.
'His Chakra remains on those rocks. With this, he didn't need to spend more chakra to use the same move from the ground.'
'But they are also just one-directional. I can outspeed this move of his.'
Naruto thought to himself as he turned around and dashed away.
But the moment he turned around, Yamato disappeared from the ground, and those spikes stopped moving.
Yamato appeared from behind, which even Naruto didn't detect until he felt a tingling sensation in his skin.
In an instant, he attached his feet with Chakra and jumped as high as he could. His body spun in mid-air while dodging a sharp sword slash.
As Naruto landed on the ground, Yamato instantly approached him with another stab to the neck.
But Naruto managed to block the attack with his Kunai. Only for Yamato to kick him in the gut.
Bang!
His body flew back, colliding a few times on the ground before he stopped himself.
His hands and knees glided on the ground, giving him a few scratches.
'Damn! I didn't even see it coming.'
Naruto cursed in his mind and quickly got up. He saw Yamato rushing towards him and jumped back while releasing Shadow Clones.
With three Shadow Clones, he landed on the ground, and each of them held a Rasengan in their hand.
Seeing Rasengan, Yamato was startled. He immediately jumped back and went through hand signs.
[Wood Release- Deep Forest Emergence]
Activating this Jutsu, several roots started sprouting around him. These turned into stems, producing branches and turning into large trees.
All of this happened in a matter of moments, and those trees started approaching Naruto.
Before Naruto could react, two of his clones were wrapped around by the tree branches. He also found a branch wrapping around him.
But he quickly slammed the Rasengan on the branch and managed to destroy it.
He jumped and ran away from the trees, while his clones weren't so lucky.
They managed to destroy a few branches with the Rasengan, but the trees were quite strong.
Bang! Bang!
As two of his clones disappeared, he received the memories of his clones and gritted his teeth.
'No, this shouldn't be his strength. I have watched Naruto. This level of Wood Release is similar to Hashirama in his battle with Hiruzen.'
'No, first, let's test it!'
He quickly turned around and weaved a few hand signs and slammed his palms on the ground.
[Earth Release- Earth-Style Wall]
Crack! Crack!
The ground started splitting as a massive wall made out of rocks emerged from the ground, blocking the upcoming wave of trees.
Bang! Bang!
But the trees managed to crush several parts of the wall, breaking it into large rocks as it slowly came to a stop.
At this moment, Naruto sensed a powerful chakra coming from his back.
Without any hesitation, he jumped into the air, but only to find Yamato's hand spear moving towards him.
Splash!
Before he could even react, the wooden spear pierced the corner of his stomach.
'Damn!'
Naruto was irritated. He quickly summoned a shadow clone and used its body to jump up in the air.
While in mid-air, he weaved several hand signs and spat out several wind bullets.
[Wind Release- Vacuum Sphere]
Bang! Bang!
These wind bullets were quite fierce. They easily managed to pierce through the body of Yamato, only for him to turn into a wooden block.
At this moment, Yamato was standing on the ground, watching Naruto in mid-air.
'Amazing Chakra Reserve, good skills, and a huge arsenal of Jutsu. He is no different than a Jonin.'
'If that hadn't happened twelve years ago, he would've easily defeated me. He is getting irritated and angry.'
'Well, it's normal for people of his age to get angry at their loss.'
Yamato smiled and turned his attention towards his clones.
....
At this moment, Yamato and Hinata were having a Taijutsu Battle.
Surprisingly enough, every time Hinata tried to pierce Yamato's tenketsu point with her Gentle Fist, there was a thick layer of chakra blocking her strikes.
'No, I can't go on like this. How can Yamato-sensei predict my attacks? Does he have a Sharingan?'
But just a look and she knew he didn't have one.
Still, she couldn't figure out how Yamato was able to block her attacks at a perfect moment.
Seeing her frustrated look, Yamato smiled and increased the intensity of his punches, forcing Hinata into a defensive state.
'No, I have to use it. This is the only moment.'
Yamato instantly stomped on the ground and released a large amount of dust. Despite so, it didn't hinder Hinata's Byakugan's vision.
'A lot of Chakra is scattered in the air, but most of it is concentrated right here.'
She dashed forward and launched her Jutsu.
[Eight Trigrams Sixty Four Palms]
Imagining herself at the center of an eight-trigram symbol, she immediately moved her arms in different directions at incredible speed.
[Two Palms] [Four Palms] [Eight Palms] [Sixteen Palms] [Thirty-Two Palms]
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
All of her attacks managed to land on Yamato, but when she landed her final blow, Yamato suddenly turned into a wooden block.
"How can this be? I didn't notice any change in Chakra within Yamato sensei's body."
This was so shocking to Hinata that she completely forgot that she was in the middle of a battle.
She even lowered her hands in absolute disbelief. Although she wasn't as strong as Neji, her level was around a Chunin.
It was confirmed by her father. Her Eight Trigrams Sixty Four Palms wasn't fake, nor was her Byakugan.
So, she couldn't understand. How did Yamato use Substitution?
But the next moment, she immediately understood what had happened.
When she saw that scattered Chakra, she thought it was just a mistake. But how could a Jonin make such a silly mistake in combat?
Clap! Clap!
"Nice attack! If I hadn't used Substitution Jutsu, I wouldn't be able to block your Sixty-Four Palms. So, do you have any stronger attack?"
Yamato asked as he came out from the back while clapping.
Hinata was frustrated, but she managed to calm down. She shook her head.
Sixty-four Palms was certainly her strongest attack. Although she had another equally powerful attack, the result was gonna be the same.
"Yamato-Sensei, why were you able to predict my attack so precisely? And, did you suppress your Chakra before my attack to launch Substitution Jutsu?"
Yamato smiled and said.
"Yes, Substitution Jutsu is an illusion-based Jutsu. Against Hyuga's Byakugan, it is not useful. So, I simply used dust to cover your vision.'
'Of course, you could still see me, but you could only see me from Byakugan's perspective, which could be restricted using Chakra."
Then, his expression changed into a serious one as he said.
"As for your first question, it's simple."
"If you don't have Sharingan or Byakugan, you have to train your perception to an extremely high level."
"Otherwise, you are just gonna die outside."
