Chapter 215 - Ch215. Ringo vs. Yagura 2

While the whole world gaped at Ringo's Duckie's ability to cancel the bijuu cloak, she took out her two chakra metal blades and promptly covered them in her lightning Susanoo cloaking. Now she really looked like some dual-wielding mythical samurai made of lightning.

Sighing in annoyance, Ringo stared at the massive three-tailed beast in front of her, ignoring the strong whiplash of wind Yagura's transformation caused.

"I am really fed up with this. I am an assassin. Why do I have to fight him head-on like a damned fool? What 'Show 'em your hidden powah, Rin-chan!'? What 'Let's make it into a huuuuuge spectacle!?'? When I am done with this, I am going to strangle Mei for giving Rei ideas. I could simply sneak into Yagura's house at night and peacefully separate his head from his body when he slept but noooo..." Ringo heatedly muttered under her nose.

Just then Sanbi roared and Ringo had to quickly side-step a massive circular compressed few stories tall water blade hurled at her at an almost inhuman speed by the beast, leaving a large trench behind.

Ringo wryly smiled, "So, he is finally using ninjutsu, eh?"

The water rose from the shore a kilometer away from the place where they faced each other, towering above the plains as the angry Sanbi focused his gaze on Ringo whose brows furrowed at the five hundred feet tall wave quickly approaching her at brutal speed, washing away everything in its path.

"Of course, the very first thing Sanbi would do is getting even more water on the battlefield. Because why not?" Ringo cursed their current location. In the past, the Sanbi was almost always sealed while he was lazing around or sleeping because fighting him anywhere near the ocean was a plain suicide what with his complete control of water. Without first shackling him with some restrictive seals, there was no way to win against the lazy turtle. Well, not for ordinary shinobi.

Not a second later, the massive tsunami seemingly crashed into Ringo...

High in the clear sky, the lightning-armor-clad figure of Ringo appeared after barely escaping being swept by the ocean of water. She quickly started molding her normal chakra with her lightning chakra under her feet in order to create a platform in the air where she could stand.

Ringo grimaced as she got a nice look at the surrounding lands. It was only a minute and a few seconds ago when Yagura transformed and yet... the Kuronami plains were already covered in a blanket of water while other massive tsunamis could be seen quickly approaching the area from the not-so-distant ocean, covering the lands in even more water.

Ringo watched the huge turtle turn its head, looking for her. Her shoulders sagged, 'What exactly am I supposed to do here?' She thought irritably.

Lightning was for precise and fast strikes that exploited weaknesses and gaps in the armor of the enemy in order to land ONE devastating killing attack. Water, on the other hand, used volume to both attacks and defend and compression for either cutting or burgeoning offense. As for fighting a massive armored turtle half-covered in an ocean of water under its control as a lighting user? Well...

Cl.i.c.k.i.n.g her tongue, Ringo decided to at least hurl a few attacks at the turtle since finding an exploitable weak spot was quickly becoming a profound challenge. 'Guess, there is really no other way than trying out what does and what doesn't work. It won't be a long time before the Sanbi discovers my position anyway...'

Raising her right blade above her head and gathering her lighting chakra on it, the air around Ringo started quickly cracking and chirping as more and more lightning appeared, concentrating and condensing on the blade which was quickly getting superheated. Ringo waited and gathered, compressed, concentrated more and more lightning chakra on the blade until it was one bright blue beacon visible for kilometers, causing Sanbi to finally notice it.

Unfortunately for the beast, with Ringo's proficiency in Lightning Chakra, the whole process took only two seconds. One blue bright flash of blue with an ear-shattering chirping shriek of lightning deafening the world, and Ringo almost lazily swung her right blade downwards in a wide arc aimed straight at Sanbi.

The world watched as the blue lightning beam crashed in the massive three-tailed beast's carapace in a flash...

Sanbi was hurled back through the water, creating a temporary trench in it as the massive beast's body pushed it away due to the sheer force of the lightning beam which propelled it five hundred meters back before the disoriented Sanbi finally somehow managed to anchor its tails and limbs into the ground while supporting its body with the water behind it in order to resist the pushing force of the slash.

Blue crackling energy battled grey hard carapace, both stubbornly refusing to stop pushing against the other but in the end, five seconds later Ringo's lightning Jutsu lost its juice and slowly dissipated, leaving only the turtle standing on the ground without any water around it for a fifty-meter radius. Only thin water vapor remained as the lightning Jutsu vaporized all the water in the said range. Slowly, the walls of water around the beast where the lightning Jutsu didn't reach started to crash down, again submerging half of the Sanbi under the water surface.

Ringo watched from the sky, scowling. The beast was completely uninjured! Sure, she managed to push it back but the armor stopped her attack from doing literally anything to Sanbi. 'This is such a drag... How am I supposed to injure it? It's not like I can just bypass the... carapace?' Ringo tilted her head while her eyes narrowed as if a light bulb turned on in her head. 'Oh... maybe?'

Before she managed to finish that thought, however, a compressed house-sized ball of water crashed into her at almost the speed of sound, hurling her through the sky.

Stopping herself some hundred or so meters away from her previous location, Ringo cursed. 'Son of a... turtle. Ahem.' She steadied herself before having to jump to the left to avoid yet another house-sized water bullet courtesy of Sanbi. She had only a second to notice how the beast was now sending a water bullet after a water bullet at her covering the entire horizon with them.

Adrenaline coursing through her veins, Ringo started side-stepping, jumping under or above, and evading the water bullets. They may not be able to breach her lightning armor but they still caused her to deplete a bit of her chakra reserve due to the brutal force of impact that came with them. As she was dodging, Ringo also advanced closer and closer towards Sanbi through the air, the closer she got, the more house-sized water bullets she had to deal with and briefly, it made her ponder how much chakra the beast exactly had. Somewhere along her way towards the turtle, Ringo was forced to start cleaving the water bullets with her lightning-clad swords, not having enough space to dodge.

The hail of water bullets suddenly ceased, making even Ringo surprised, causing her to stop for a second before she realized the water under her started to move, as tendrils as thick as Kage Towers started to quickly advance towards her.

"Shit..." Ringo cursed and pushed more of her lightning chakra into her armor, springing herself forward towards the Sanbi in one huge leap now that there was no water blocking her path. The turtle miscalculated and before the water tendrils could reach Ringo, she disappeared via sheer speed and reappeared on the top of the surprised Sanbi.

For all of its crowd control ability, scarily dangerous water control, and almost unreachable defense, the turtle was quite slow and didn't move much during a fight.

Understanding that this was a very rare opportunity, Ringo quickly plunged both of her swords into the carapace of the beast, sinking them halfway through their length. It didn't even breach five percent of the carapace but for Ringo's plan, this was enough. With a zapping sound and bright blue light show, Ringo started feeding the chakra from her armor to her swords.

Sanbi screamed and roared in pain as the nature chakra from the lightning armor mixed with the lightning chakra of Ringo and wave after wave of the stuff entered its carapace, razing its path towards the beast's flesh. Thrashing and bewildered, the beast quickly utilized its tail and smashed it into Ringo, sending her small frame flying while dislodging the two blades from its carapace due to the strong grip Ringo had on her blades. As they were dislodged, the blades shot one last wave of lightning senjutsu chakra into the sky, causing a massive wave of pressurized air to spread through the surroundings, rippling the already raging kilometers of the water surface while Ringo's body crashed a few tens of meter away from Sanbi, plunging deep into the beast-made ocean at breakneck speed, disappearing in it.

For a moment... the battlefield quieted down, leaving only a serene scene of a massive sluggish turtle slowly shaking in pain surrounded by quietly calming water as thin water vapor lazily covered the area while up in the sky, clouds slowly started to form.
