Chapter 294: Multiplying Detonating Talismans for Targeted Detonation! Ice Release Bloodline Limit!
Konoha Main Gate.
Facing Hiruzen Sarutobi's conscription, even the proud Uchiha lowered their heads at this moment.
They dispatched five Jonin, including Uchiha Qingfeng and Uchiha Kazuha, who volunteered.
"Hokage-sama, everyone is here..."
Under the gaze of dozens of Jonin and Elite Jonin, Hiruzen Sarutobi, clad in armor, slowly walked to the front.
Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from Hiruzen Sarutobi, the strong individuals from various Shinobi Clans subconsciously became more alert.
"The mission level for this time is tentatively S-rank. Prepare for battle..."
"Depart..."
S-rank was the upper limit for mission classification, but not for this mission.
The reason Hiruzen Sarutobi brought the elites of various Shinobi Clans, in addition to blocking the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Dodai, and Ay, was primarily to guard against any potential radical actions from the Hidden Cloud Village.
Although facing the risk of war, the Nine-Tailed was a combat force Konoha could not abandon under any circumstances.
"Lariat!"
"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"
Amidst a massive roar, Burabi easily pierced through Fujiwara Tetsuya's defense and heavily struck kirimaru's blade.
And Fujiwara Tetsuya, like a kite with a broken string, was sent flying backward by the immense impact.
Countless deep pits were left on the ravaged ground below.
"Tetsuya-kun..."
The sudden turn of events immediately tensed everyone's nerves.
Unbeknownst to her, Uchiha Mikoto was also sent flying over ten meters by Ay's fierce punch.
"Cough~ I'm fine."
"You all focus on the enemy. I will personally deal with the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki."
Seeing Uchiha Mikoto, Torune Ryoui, and others find a battle opportunity for the Hidden Cloud Village's Ninja due to his own failure, Fujiwara Tetsuya dusted himself off, his expression gradually becoming solemn.
One had to admit... a Jinchuriki in Tailed Beast mode was almost equivalent to having infinite Chakra, physical regeneration, increased speed, increased strength, increased perception... multiple buffs.
Moreover... this was with Burabi's consciousness clear, and on the premise that he hadn't unleashed a Tailed Beast Ball to avoid affecting Ay and Dodai.
"Should I try that?"
"Water Release: Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave!"
As he pondered, Fujiwara Tetsuya's hand seals changed rapidly, and the moment they were completed, endless ocean waves continuously surged from Fujiwara Tetsuya's mouth, spreading outwards from him and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, gradually forming an oval water prison covering an area of several hundred meters.
"What exactly does this kid want to do?"
"Does he really think that this level of Water Release can seal the Tailed Beast mode Burabi?"
Facing the spreading waves, the Ninja of Konoha and Hidden Cloud Village had no choice but to temporarily cease fighting and move the battlefield further away.
"Burabi, be careful. This kid... is probably plotting something in the dark."
Inside the cage of the consciousness space, the Eight-Tails' voice echoed continuously.
After witnessing Fujiwara Tetsuya's ability to use the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Technique, it also developed a sense of apprehension towards this tiny being.
Being completely sealed in endless darkness was undoubtedly more painful than staying within the Jinchuriki's body.
"I know, Gyuki!"
"I'll be careful..."
"Forbidden Technique: Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags!"
The moment Fujiwara Tetsuya muttered, he instantly threw out thousands of Explosive Tags, which, guided by Chakra threads, quickly sealed off the area where Burabi was located.
Then, as Fujiwara Tetsuya retreated from the water prison and clenched his palm, an endless explosion instantly engulfed Burabi... Boom~ Boom~
The explosion generated by the Explosive Tags lasted for a full minute.
As the explosion ceased, the massive water prison constructed by the Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave also completely collapsed at this moment.
"Burabi..."
In the periphery of Ay, Dodai, and others' vision, the center of the spreading water surface was covered by countless dense water mists.
Although they were far away, everyone could still hear the muffled, painful roar of the Tailed Beast mode Burabi.
"The Forbidden Technique researched by Second Hokage Tobirama Senju... I never thought that Tetsuya-sama would even learn this kind of Ninjutsu."
Unlike Ay, Dodai, and others, the Konoha ANBU Squad, along with Hyuga Hizashi, Aburame Kana, and others, were stunned by Fujiwara Tetsuya's sudden move.
"Indeed, this number of Explosive Tags is still too insufficient to defeat a Jinchuriki..."
"It seems I'll have to prepare more next time I go out... at least tens of thousands of them."
A breeze swept past, and the swirling mist also completely dispersed at this moment.
Although the Forbidden Technique Fujiwara Tetsuya used did not defeat Burabi, it still left countless wounds on Burabi's body... However, those deep, bone-revealing wounds were already beginning to heal in his Tailed Beast mode.
"Roar~"
"Burabi, want to try that?"
"At this distance... as long as we reduce Chakra output, it won't affect Ay and Dodai."
"Gyuki... can I really do that now?"
"Hey, Burabi, that's not like you... you'll know if you try, won't you?"
Amidst Burabi's massive roar, a dark Tailed Beast Ball gradually gathered in his mouth... as it compressed, it emitted terrifying auras.
"A Tailed Beast Ball?"
"Phew~ That's a lot of pressure!"
Looking at the Tailed Beast Ball locked onto him, Fujiwara Tetsuya's mouth twitched involuntarily.
Unfortunately, he had not yet mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique; otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a predicament now.
"Ice Release: Ice Pillar Technique!"
The moment Burabi intended to release the Tailed Beast Ball, Fujiwara Tetsuya struck the ground with his sword, and an Ice Pillar with a diameter of over four meters suddenly shot up, accurately hitting the lower jaw of the Tailed Beast mode Burabi.
The sudden attack also caused the Tailed Beast Ball, which was aimed at Fujiwara Tetsuya, to completely lose its target and fly into the sky.
"Ice Release... how is that possible?"
Resisting the wind and waves caused by the Tailed Beast Ball's explosion, at this moment... the Ninja from both Konoha and Kumogakure were filled with surprise.
Ice Release was a Kekkei Genkai exclusive to the Yuki Clan.
Throughout the long history of the Ninja World, apart from the Ninja of the Yuki Clan, no other Ninja had ever been known to possess the Ice Release Bloodline.
As for the Ice Release mastered by the Ninja of the Land of Snow, at best, it was only a pseudo-Ice Release.
"Mikoto, could Tetsuya-kun... possess the bloodline of the Yuki Clan?"
"But... that shouldn't be!"
"Tetsuya-kun's family has lived in the Land of Fire for generations, whether during the Sengoku period or after the establishment of the Ninja Villages..."
If Fujiwara Tetsuya's background wasn't clear enough... simple enough, many Konoha Ninja would probably already be suspicious... wondering if Fujiwara Tetsuya was an illegitimate child of a Yuki Clan Ninja... or perhaps a Hidden Mist Village operative planted in Konoha.
