Within the boundless ocean, a barrier sealing space called Breaking the Void existed, closed off and impossible to enter or exit. Inside the barrier, layers upon layers of thunderclouds gathered, a place where life and death could be decided, where existence and annihilation could intertwine.
Where there was thunderous lightning, it was called the Thunder Hell.
Where there was countless thunderous lightning, it was called the Great Thunder Hell.
Where there was endless, countless thunderous lightning, it was called the Unending Great Thunder Hell.
For the four Kirigakure ninjas who had come to fight Haori, who had chosen to unleash his full power, this barrier was undoubtedly the Thunder Hell.
For anyone who chose to fight Haori in an enclosed space, it was definitely not a good choice. The smaller the space, the more it restricted the enemy's movement, the more advantageous it was for Haori. Because in such a space, he could easily gain the advantage, an absolute advantage, even something beyond an absolute advantage… He could almost predetermine victory.
The second duel with Yagura was essentially decided the moment Haori completed his barrier seal. It meant the arrival of the victory Haori desired.
Within the barrier seal, Haori's enemies could not escape, could not avoid, could not win.
The way Haori chose to fight this time was clearly different from the last time he fought Yagura. It was simple and violent. There were no complex tactics. From beginning to end, he only used one "jutsu."
Essentially, Haori's mission this time wasn't to fight Kirigakure, but to end the fight. The fight wasn't the focus of the mission, nor was it the main content. So, he wanted to finish it faster, with more focus.
He couldn't let himself get bogged down in a fight and miss the appointed time.
So, Haori immediately used the most powerful attack – the Level 5 Electric Shock User Railgun… Dual-handed continuous firing, firing rate of 16 rounds per minute.
You could do a simple calculation. In his normal state, the basic, short-range Railgun Haori used had a range of 50 meters. The current barrier seal space was a cube with sides of 81 meters. This meant that if Haori just aimed at the center of the barrier space, his attack range would be a spherical space with a radius of 50 meters. Haori's attack range could completely cover the entire sealing space.
Within this barrier zone, Haori could aim wherever he wanted, and the enemy couldn't avoid it.
For Haori, who had the ability to fire continuously in a line, it didn't really matter whether he was sealing in four enemies or 40 enemies.
And based on the power Haori released when firing continuously, the enemy's space for movement would be further compressed. Because when Haori stood in the middle and continuously released high-voltage, high-power, high-energy electricity, it was itself an excellent attack and defense technique. The enemies couldn't get close to his body at all.
So, the four Kirigakure ninjas could only attack Haori from a distance, around the four sides of the sealing space.
So, the actual battle mode between the two sides was like this: within the range of the Railgun, the enemies used long-range ninjutsu to shoot at Haori.
You only needed to imagine it to realize what a simple and tragic scene it was.
In this situation, even a ninja like Yagura, if he was caught in it, would be powerless.
With Haori's super-high firing rate, plus the enemy's movement restrictions in the small space, he could make very accurate predictions of their actions. So, the Railgun was basically unavoidable.
And if it was unavoidable, it meant it was undefendable.
What kind of jutsu could you use to defend against this super-powerful single-target attack? Water Wall? Earth Wall? Even the several absolute defenses that these Kirigakure ninjas wouldn't be able to use, Lightning Release Chakra Mode? Revolving Heaven? Sand Armor? And… Susanoo?
To completely defend against the Railgun, Susanoo hasn't been used yet so it's unclear. But the others were completely impossible.
Perhaps if Yagura had become the full Three-Tailed Jinchūriki, he would have had a chance to fight. After all, at least he could use a Tailed Beast Ball to break through the barrier. But he didn't have that opportunity now.
And he wouldn't have that opportunity in the future either. Because he wouldn't have a future.
If you looked down from above or observed the battlefield from the side, because the barrier was translucent, and because Haori's attacks carried strong air currents and high temperatures, creating steam inside, you couldn't see the specific situation clearly.
But the roar of the lightning could be transmitted through the barrier.
All you could see was the lightning that filled the entire barrier, with thick lightning occasionally clinging to the barrier, like ivy growing and shrinking at the speed of light.
And the single point of light in the center of the space was like a candle flame in a lampshade, never extinguished.
Then there were scattered, seemingly endless, orange-yellow beams of light, and the occasional blood mist and blood blossoms.
Those were the crimson flowers that marked the death of an enemy.
The details of the battle were invisible from the outside, but soon, the thunder and lightning disappeared. Then, the barrier also disappeared.
It had only existed for five minutes.
But after the barrier disappeared, the only figure that appeared was Haori. The four enemies, who had thought they had the advantage in numbers and strength, had vanished.
Only a few patches of blood mist continued to spread on the surface of the sea.
Within those five minutes, Haori wouldn't have been able to maintain that full-power, high-speed continuous firing. That would have meant firing 80 Railguns. It was impossible, no matter how you looked at it.
If he had done that, he would have truly been drained. In an enclosed space, continuously attacking moving enemies with a single method, Haori's total number of attacks was less than twenty.
This had already taken a huge toll on him. Haori had now entered energy-saving mode. He needed to rest for a while before he could recover.
The Railgun's straight-line attack mode was indeed very simple. But what did it matter if it was simple? It was fast enough, powerful enough, and accurate enough. What could the enemy do against this kind of "jutsu"?
This ambush, for Yagura and the others, was like being tied up and thrown into a raging fire. It was a fire that was even more aggressive than usual. Although they didn't know it beforehand, the four of them were just fish on a cutting board.
The sealing barrier wasn't opened by Haori after the battle ended. It actually disintegrated naturally. Although it had been suppressed, it had been riddled with holes by the Railgun during the battle.
Once the sea breeze blew away the hot steam, Haori's appearance was fully revealed. Except for the exhaustion from using his abilities, he was almost completely unscathed.
The sea returned to calm. Haori continued walking, his steps without any hesitation or doubt.
Yagura was supposed to become the future Fourth Mizukage. But now, he was like the most ordinary ninja, dying at an unknown time, in an unknown place.
The difference was that he died in an extremely extreme way.
Perhaps in the end, Yagura and the others wouldn't understand why Haori's attacks completely violated the basic laws of ninjas.
The power of a jutsu is always directly proportional to the risk. The stronger the jutsu, the greater the risk. But Haori was using S-class and above jutsu continuously, as if he was eating and drinking. Not to mention the burden on his body, what about the chakra consumption?
Unfortunately, no one would be able to answer his final question. Let's hope that Yagura reads more in his next life, to increase his knowledge and experience.
There are paths in the mountains of books, and diligence is the way. In the next life, don't be a Kirigakure ninja.
