"It's a mirror clone!" Goji ju recognized Akaishi's method.
"Mirror clone? So it's a mirror image?" Momochi didn't understand what "mirror clone" meant.
The other Mist Ninja also looked over, clearly not being as well-informed and unaware of any Mirror Clone.
"It's not just that. This technique is Uchiha Kagami's signature move. The clones are like reflections in a mirror. Even if they are broken, they won't disappear; they will only become more clones," explained Karatachi.
Yagura, being knowledgeable and experienced, actually knew the effects of "Mirror Clone," though only from the perspective of his "opponent," understanding its external effects.
"What? That means he's invincible?" Momochi exclaimed in shock.
"No, it definitely has its weaknesses. At least—I think if the chakra is exhausted, all the clones will disappear," Gouju said.
"No wonder he immediately locked himself up to recover his chakra. It seems the most important thing to defeat him is to deplete his chakra?" said Juzo Biwa, looking at Suigetsu Hobutsuki.
Pipa Juzo has already played, and there are tactical arrangements in place, which are also for Suigiyama.
Upon hearing this, Xiguashan hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Yes."
Logically speaking, these two sides are the two most irreconcilable factions in Kirigakure, but thanks to Karatachi's mediation and efforts to win them over, they are now able to sit together with some difficulty.
Momochi looked at both sides, seemingly having made a decision.
"Inuzuka Tsuru is eliminated. Other genin who want to challenge, come up." Hatake handed Inuzuka Tsuru and Kuromaru over to the medical team.
Compared to Rin, Inuya Tsurugi wasn't seriously injured; he was just knocked unconscious from both heads.
At the same time, Akaishi had also released "Earth Prison Hall Without" with an arrogant smile, making it unclear whether he was just putting on an act due to overexertion or had actually recovered quite a bit.
Yakushi Nonou was the first to go on stage again.
However, this time, Suma Shiki, the only representative of Iwagakure, also came up, and Kirigakure was also going to send someone, but—Momochi stopped Suigetsu and said something to everyone before Momochi Senzan came up.
Akaishi looked at Momochi Senzan with surprise, "You dare to come up here?"
Akaishi seemed to have guessed something, and pointed directly at Momochi Senzan, saying, "Black Pineapple, you're the one. I'll teach you a lesson!"
Momochi Senzan remained unmoved by Akaishi's provocation.
The other two genin were eliminated, and Akashi faced off against Momochi Senzan from Kirigakure.
-
"Battle begins!"
With a command from Hatake, Akaishi, facing his defeated opponent Momochi, did not take it lightly and quickly formed hand seals!
Earth Release: Earth Prison Hall Without End!
The massive rock hemisphere completely encased the red stone inside.
Clearly, Akaishi is using the same tactic again—fighting while recovering!
This is probably why he dared to make such outrageous statements before, saying he would hold out until the very end.
Just then, sure enough, a figure mirroring the Red Stone suddenly appeared outside the huge rock. The clone raised one arm and placed its palm on the rock wall, appearing as if it were a mirror image of the Red Stone's original body, which could not be seen inside.
Momochi then smirked and said, "I admit defeat!"
"What? What is that Black Pineapple from the Hidden Mist saying?"
"Admit defeat? What happened that you'd admit defeat?"
"Genjutsu! I get it, it must be the Uchiha clan's genjutsu!"
"As expected of the Uchiha clan—"
"No, no, no! The Uchiha brats have already hidden themselves behind the stone wall, how can they use genjutsu? This is just baiting the Uchiha clan into exhausting themselves, and then not giving them a chance to recover!"
"What evidence do you have? How do you know about the Uchiha clan's ninjutsu—"
"Look at those Uchiha viewers, they're cursing!"
The audience was initially puzzled, but quickly discerned Kirigakure's sinister intentions from the reactions of the highly discerning Uchiha viewers.
However, the rules are as they are—
"Momochi Senzan has conceded defeat. Uchiha genin, withdraw your ninjutsu. The other genin who wanted to challenge can come up now," Hatake said.
Momochi had this idea in mind from the very beginning!
Although Kirigakure doesn't know much about "Mirror Clone," they do know that this technique is derived from "Shadow Clone," and Karatachi had previously analyzed that it's very likely that chakra cannot be retrieved.
If Momochi were to fight Akaishi, Akaishi would likely still be at full health and mana even after Momochi is eliminated. However, if Momochi were to be eliminated immediately, Akaishi's chakra would be halved!
Akashi's clone disappeared instantly, and then "Tsuchiguchi Mu" sank back, revealing Akashi's true form.
After leaving the arena, Momochi looked smugly at Akaishi, but—
The more I look at it, the more something seems off!
"You—is this your true form?" Momochi looked at Akaishi with some panic.
At this moment, Akaishi appeared to be a mirror image, just like his previous clone.
"Hmm? Oh, sorry, I forgot." Akaishi said, then deactivated the transformation jutsu.
Thud—
The red stone was flipped back to its normal shape.
Mochi:! ! !
Everyone: ————
Now everyone understood that what happened just now was not a mirror clone at all, but rather that Akaishi transformed into a mirror image and then performed a normal shadow clone!
What's the difference?
When a shadow clone is recalled, the chakra can be recalled as well!
Momochi Senzan's face turned ugly—
"Hehe." Hizashi finally laughed. He had noticed it earlier, but he had been holding it in.
"So you only tricked Tu Laotang Wu, right?" Lan Wu said loudly on purpose.
"This guy is smarter than I thought," Shikaku remarked.
The Uchiha clan's battle intelligence isn't low; it's just that they don't use it in interpersonal situations!
Akashi smiled slightly, knowing that he had deliberately left his transformation jutsu on purpose, wanting to show others that he could create "real and fake mirror clones".
If you want to spend money, then try "Rock, Paper, Scissors"!
Although the audience didn't quite understand the difference between the clones, they could tell that Kirigakure had been tricked and had given up, which led to a burst of laughter.
"The other genin who want to challenge can come up now," Hatake urged again with a smile.
This time, Kirigakure sent Suigetsu Hozuki, while Iwagakure sent Suma Shi and Root sent Yakushi Nonou.
Akaishi looked at the three of them, thought for a moment, and then pointed at Suma Shi.
Suma Shiki is the least likely to engage in a war of attrition. His only goal upon coming up is to win, or rather, to "show his skills." Iwagakure has no other genin left, so there's no need for him to fight a war of attrition for Kirigakure.
Earth Release: Earth Prison Hall Without End!
Red Stone started with the same move again.
However, Suma Shi smiled slightly and said, "I am the Iwa ninja. Using Earth Release in front of me?"
Just as Akaishi's mirror image leaped onto the top of the rock formed by "Earth Prison Hall," Sumashi was already running over, forming hand seals as he went—
Earth Escape: Submerged in the Earth!
Suma Shi instantly dove underground, giving Akaishi's mirror clone no chance to attack.
Moreover, his goal was very clear—there was no interior in the Earth Prison Hall!
Although "Earth Prison Hall" is a barrier ninjutsu, its bottom is naturally sealed. However, Suma Shi was confident in his Earth Release's "infiltration" ability, which he had enhanced—just not as dramatically as the enhancement of wave-like properties by yellow earth.
Suma Shi had no intention of wasting Akashi; his goal was to win!
At this moment, they bypassed Akaishi's "Mirror Clone" and prepared to go in directly to attack Akaishi's main body.
It would be better if Akaishi was unprepared, but even if he was prepared, attacking his main body directly is the best option!
Unfortunately, after he submerged underground, he didn't see anyone's reaction.
"That idiot!" Onoki snapped irritably.
"That Uchiha brat is too cunning," Yin chimed in, fanning the flames.
Sarutobi simply smiled and didn't say anything to provoke Onoki.
Suma Shiki had indeed sneaked in, but—
With a bang, "Red Stone's Mirror Clone" transformed into its normal, non-mirror form, standing directly in front of the barrier rock, supporting it with both hands, and began channeling chakra into it!
That's right, from the audience's perspective, everyone saw it—
The red stone outside did not appear like a clone, but rather emerged from "Tsuchi-go-do-mu". It was only because it came out from the side facing away from its opponent that Sumashi did not notice it at all.
In other words—
What's outside now is the real Red Stone!
This time, the "Earth Prison Hall Without" was also created through normal use.
They only prevented the bottom from completely closing, waiting for Suma to crawl in on his own before finally closing the door to trap him.
The biggest difficulty with "Earth Prison Hall Without Strike" is that it's hard to hit; if the target is prepared, they'll definitely dodge. But now—
Suma Shi walked right into the trap!
Akaishi, of course, didn't stand on ceremony with him and directly started channeling chakra into him from the outside.
at the same time----
When Suma Shi entered, he found the place empty and immediately realized he had been tricked. However, when he tried to sneak out, he found that the ground was impassable!
Clearly, Akashi's mastery of earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique that allows one to escape or enter a place without being able to enter or leave), and he was simply holding back before.
As for forcibly breaking it—
That would just be a contest of pure chakra!
As the one maintaining the barrier, Akaishi also needs to continuously input chakra to repair it.
but----
Since all that's needed is to input chakra, there's no need to focus on the battle. At this moment, Akaishi immediately put on the "three-piece set," which made his recovery rate even faster than Sumashi's consumption!
Although Suma Shi, after realizing he had been tricked, became enraged and launched a fierce attack inside "Tsuchi-ryo-do-mu," "Tsuchi-ryo-do-mu" was constantly being repaired by Akaishi's chakra input.
For Akaishi, the most difficult thing right now is—
Keep your expression tight!
It feels so good!
But it would be strange if you groaned comfortably at this time!
Then, a smile appeared on Akaishi's face, as if he were experiencing some kind of "perverted pleasure"—
"What is this guy doing?!" Lan Wu muttered speechlessly from below.
Looking at the Uchiha's expression, the audience was also frightened.
Meanwhile, the younger members of the Uchiha clan all wore expressions of deep understanding!
"That's right! Brother Akaishi, torture him, imprison him, drain him dry!"
"Hehehe, let's teach those Iwagakure brats a lesson!"
"Akaishi-san is invincible! This is what happens when you oppose the Uchiha clan!"
Akaishi:————
For a moment, it seemed as if Akaishi was truly satisfying some perverse desire of his own—
N-A-A
