In fact, it was not that the two were unwilling to use large-scale ninjutsu, but that neither of them had the opportunity.
The battle between jonin's was far more dangerous than what Chika saw on the surface.
Both Kushina and Shida put a lot of pressure on each other, and even the slightest mistake could affect the outcome of the battle.
Speaking of which, Kushina is a little stronger than Shida, but she has been locked up in the village like a canary by Hiruzen for so many years and lacks combat experience.
And Shida is an excellent jonin. Even though his strength is not as good as Kushina's, he can fight her on equal terms with his excellent combat awareness and fierce character.
Clang!
The two ninja's kunai clashed several times, and finally they couldn't bear it anymore and broke at the same time, thus separating the two temporarily.
"The Uzumaki clan, I didn't expect they were still alive!"
Shida stood on the ground and looked at this strange Konoha ninja. He had appeared on the battlefield with Konoha many times but had never heard of such an outstanding ninja.
"With your strength, you will never remain unknown. Why have I never heard of you? I am very curious, who are you?"
Kushina's eyes lit up when she heard that.
Those famous ninjas in the ninja world all have their own titles, and Kushina certainly cannot fall behind.
She hoped that she could also gain a name that would shock the world and move heroes and villains alike, the kind that would scare the enemies away when they heard it.
The question from the Iwagakure captain undoubtedly resonated with Kushina's thoughts. Faced with such words, she cleared her throat and introduced herself formally.
"Since you are asking so sincerely, I will mercifully tell you that I am Uzumaki Kushina, the Scarlet Spring of Konoha, a member of the Uzumaki clan who aspires to become the fourth Hokage and maintain peace in the ninja world!"
What the hell is Konoha Scarlet Spring!!!
It's so embarrassing!
I never thought my teacher would have such a childish side.
Chika's scalp tingled after hearing these long words. He couldn't help but cover his face with one hand and gave a bitter smile.
As for Shida, he was also unusually confused, as if a thousand alpaca horses were trampling through his heart.
Was he forced into this life-or-death situation by such an opponent? !
At this moment, Kushina noticed that Shida was distracted.
Sealing Technique: Diamond Seal!
Eight silver chakra chains suddenly appeared on Kushina's back and silently pierced into the ground.
Then four chakra chains suddenly emerged from the ground under Shida's feet, trapping him like a dumpling before he could react.
"Success!"
Kushina's face lit up with joy, and she ran towards Shida quickly. In a few jumps, she was in front of Shida, and the kunai in her hand stabbed Shida's heart cleanly.
Just when Kushina was secretly happy, Shida's body suddenly exploded with a burst of white smoke and turned into a tree trunk with an explosive tag on it.
"Substitution technique? No!"
Looking at the slowly burning detonating tag, Kushina's face changed, and she immediately jumped back.
Boom!
The detonating tag did not cause any damage to Kushina, but the aftermath of the explosion still threw her away.
She rolled on the ground several times before coming to a stop.
"Kushina-sensei, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, get behind me."
She stood up with Chika's help and immediately pulled him behind her.
Shida, who had used the substitution technique to escape, was hiding in the grass, staring at Kushina coldly.
Originally, he wanted to use this substitution technique to completely leave the battlefield and retreat.
As for his teammate Ninja's, he is someone whose duty is to complete the mission. He always keeps this in mind and takes it as his own code of conduct.
But in fact, when Kushina used the Diamond Seal, four chakra chains were used to deal with Shida, and the other four were used to seal the area.
How could a barrier that was strong enough to trap the Nine-Tails be destroyed by a jonin like Shida?
Shida glanced at the fight between the others and saw that the Genin who had just graduated from the Ninja School had been killed by the Genin of the opposing team.
The two subordinates who had followed him for many years had already been entangled by two Anbu, and death was only a matter of time.
The game is over!
Now he could only hide in the darkness like a poisonous snake, waiting for an opportunity to strike, waiting for Kushina to reveal a flaw.
He can only leave after Kushina releases the seal on her own, or he can kill her!
"You can't get away!"
Kushina stood still, with chakra chains flying all over the sky behind her, constantly probing the nearby bushes.
She didn't mind wasting time with Shida like this, even though the Diamond Chain consumed a lot of chakra, but she had more than enough chakra to make Shida despair.
"Hateful!"
Shida cursed inwardly and suddenly realized that it was pointless to hide any longer. The two Anbu would be able to free up their hands to come over for support soon, and by then the three jonin would surround him and he would really have no chance.
But at this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up. Because Kushina didn't know his location, she had to pay attention to her surroundings at this time, and at this moment she was facing him sideways.
Chance!
He thought to himself, but just as he was about to rush out, Chika, who was standing behind Kushina, suddenly pointed at his hiding place and shouted, "Kushina-sensei, he's there!"
Kushina trusted her disciple very much, and without any hesitation, the chakra chain stabbed forward like an arrow.
Chika's short words completely made Shida lose the initiative. Facing Kushina's full-power attack, Shida could only dodge narrowly.
His face was grim, and he glanced at Chika with murderous intent. Seeing the Sharingan in Chika's eyes, he understood why the boy was able to know his location.
The observation ability of the Sharingan is still somewhat useful.
Facing the murderous look of the Iwa Ninja, Chika, with the support of Kushina, bit back without any hesitation, "Come and kill me if you can."
"Konoha is really full of talented people!"
He gritted his teeth and spoke coldly to Kushina and Chika.
He awakened the Sharingan at such a young age, no wonder he could easily kill the new generation genius of the Land of Earth by himself.
"Chika, move back a little!"
Kushina stared at Shida with a serious expression. Shida was like a trapped beast at this moment, and his danger had greatly increased.
He nodded. He also saw that Shida was ready to fight to the death. In this situation, it would be better for him not to show off.
"Humph!"
Shida snorted coldly, and without any further ado, he rushed straight towards Kushina.
He formed seals with his hands, and suddenly white smoke appeared on his left and right sides, followed by two earth clones.
Two earth clones rushed forward and blocked Kushina's four chakra chains.
And his original body formed a seal again.
"Earth escape technique - Earth flow spear technique!"
As he shouted, the ground below suddenly rose up and floated into the air, then condensed into dozens of sharp spears, which suddenly shot towards Kushina.
Seeing this, Kushina's face darkened, and she increased her chakra output. In an instant, a golden light flashed on the surface of the chakra chain.
The four chains abandoned Shida's two earth clones and came directly in front of Kushina, like dragons flying rapidly in the air.
Bang, bang, bang.
The rapidly flying earth spears were shattered to the ground like a rotten wood under the defense that not even water could penetrate.
Looking at the earth spears that had been completely destroyed, Kushina frowned. This was easier than she had imagined. The dying struggle of a senior ninja required more than just this much strength.
Just when Kushina looked at Shida through the dust, she found that Shida in front of her had disappeared, and even the two earth clones had disappeared.
In an instant, Kushina's face changed drastically. She turned around and ran towards Chika, shouting, "Run!"
