Chapter 1023: Fatal Attack
If you think about it from this point of view, Kito Hozuki was basically a younger version of the second generation Mizukage, but because of the use of this technique, all shinobi needed to go to a safe place as quickly as possible, because this technique did not divide people into "friends" and " strangers».
The principle of creating a "Dangerous Steam Tyrant" was very simple. Shinobi extracted oil and water from their bodies to form their chibi clone.
Hence, such a clone was not a lump of energy, but a clone made of water and oil.
Given the amount of oil and water involved, it wasn't surprising that Kito Hozuki had used up a third of his chakra to create it, however, Kito Hozuki himself wasn't weak either.
After creating a clone, he started attacking Su Xiao from a distance.
— I think it's almost ready, " Kito Hozuki said and exhaled.
His face now looked very dry, which was the result of dehydration.
— Damn it, " Yi Su Xiao immediately turned around and dashed away.
— Tyrant, explode! Kito Hozuki roared, and his huge clone immediately exploded.
*BOOM!*
The scorching hot steam spread for two hundred meters around.
The most obnoxious aspect of this clone was that it couldn't be attacked with a sharp weapon, otherwise it would immediately explode, and practically in front of the shinobi's nose. Su Xiao's intuition warned him that he shouldn't have attacked him with something sharp, so he stopped then and decided to end up kicking him.
Kito Hozuki was a second-generation Mizukage descendant, Gengetsu Hozuki.
Now, his claim that he almost killed Mei Terumi was confirmed.
In fact, the tyrant he created was much more powerful than Gengetsu Hozuki's tyrant!
Steam began to radiate from the forest, and all the snow within a 200-meter radius of the explosion site began to melt.
Some of the trees began to slowly smolder, and soon black smoke began to rise into the air.
At the moment of the tyrant's explosion, steam with a temperature of at least 800 degrees spread out in all directions, which was much higher than the temperature of ordinary steam.
Even when the second-generation Mizukage used the dangerous steam tyrant, the resulting steam didn't reach such a terrifyingly high temperature.
After all, his clone was made up of shinobi fluids.
But Kito Hozuki modified this technique. He added the fog concealment technique to this clone.
The hidden Mist technique was one of the most common ninjutsu techniques in the Hidden Mist Village. With the help of chakra, the shinobi created water and vaporized it to create fog. Thanks to this technique, it was possible to invisibly attack enemies in the fog.
Normal water vapor couldn't reach a temperature of 800 degrees, but what about water vapor with chakra?
The answer was now obvious.
Although it sounded simple, it took Kito Hozuki almost ten years to improve this technique.
The pool of water on the ground was boiling, but it soon began to rise into the air and eventually took the shape of Kito Hozuki.
— Hoo~, " Kito Hozuki took a mouthful of hot air, cupped his palms together, and the surrounding water vapor began to gather together, and soon the small familiar clone reappeared beside him.
*Pum-pum...*
Hail the size of rice grains began to fall from the sky. It was formed due to the sharp collision of cold and hot.
The ambient temperature began to gradually drop, causing the clone to eventually stop growing, reaching 1.2 meters in height.
— This place isn't very suitable for combat. It shrank back to its original size so quickly, " Kito Hozuki muttered. His skin was slightly reddened due to the high temperature. Although he used water techniques to deal with the effects of the dangerous steam, the high temperature still affected his body.
A second-generation Mizukage could create such a clone an almost unlimited number of times, but Kito Hozuki could create it no more than 10 times.
If he uses more than 10 clones at a time, the heat will slowly kill him as well.
As for him being able to stay away from his clone, it was simply impossible.
*Boom*
A solid chunk of earth flew up, and a figure jumped out of the hole.
It was Su Xiao, and there were shields floating around him.
The moment the clone exploded, Su Xiao used more than a dozen of his shields as shovels and created a deep hole, then jumped into it and hit the walls, causing the ground to fill him up.
He buried himself alive.
Thanks to the cold ground and the shields, he was able to survive, but because the shields had cracks, the hot steam was still able to reach his body.
His shields were steaming, and the fine beads of sweat on his face were frozen due to the cold.
— A reasonable solution, but... Can you go underground so fast every time? Kito Hozuki asked and waved his hand, and his clone immediately rushed towards Su Xiao.
This technique was very disgusting. If it hit the clone, it would explode and the hot steam would immediately envelop Su Xiao. If he ignored it, the clone would eventually become huge, and the resulting explosion would be even more powerful.
However, the danger of this technique was not in the explosion. The oil inside the clone wouldn't cause too much pressure, but as it got bigger, the steam in its body would also get significantly bigger, making it very difficult to escape to safety in the event of an explosion.
Fortunately, it was impossible to create this clone over and over again, at least even a second-generation Mizukage needed some time to do so, and the clone also needed to warm up, and this window was Su Xiao's best chance.
Su Xiao understood his enemy's style. Now, he could finally get close to him with peace of mind. Moreover, time was running out. Amu won't be able to continue blocking two Shinobi without much damage.
Just as Su Xiao was about to rush towards Kito Hozuki, his pupils suddenly narrowed.
Kito's clone suddenly grew to five meters tall in just 3 seconds.
— Su Xiao muttered, and immediately, his shields wrapped around him as the blade of his sword swung towards the ground.
However, as soon as the blade touched the ground, the clone exploded.
— Hydrogenation technique, " Kito Hozuki said, and immediately turned into water.
*Pf-f-f~*
The steam began to quickly envelop the surroundings once again.
The trees, shrouded in hot steam, began to be covered with bright red spots.
The bark of trees ignited due to the high temperature, but they did not catch fire due to too high humidity..
A huge amount of water vapor enveloped the shields...
There was a dead silence in the forest.
When the temperature of the steam dropped to about 100 degrees, Kito Hozuki's body once again gathered from the puddle of water.
Immediately he started forming hand seals and a small clone of himself reappeared beside him.
— Water Cloning Technique, " Kito Hozuki said, and immediately five of his clones appeared beside him, quickly charging forward, directly towards Su Xiao. — About three more times and he'll definitely die.
