Chapter 26:

The air seemed to freeze in silence, Minato, Kushina and Choza were a bit solemn, while Akira was both serious and excited.

After learning the yang style body flicker jutsu, Akira really wants to measure how strong he has become!

The best way to measure his strength is to engage in a battle!

Akira's use his sharingan, with the two tomoe sharingan and he can clearly detect the location of the enemy. The outline of the enemies' chakra are clearly visible and one of them belongs to black water ghost.

Black water ghost looked much better than his previous haggard state, but his left arm was still injured by Akira's Chidori and his combat strength is greatly affected and weaken.

"Namikaze Minato(Black water ghost thought Akira name is Minato)! I finally found you, I had been bitterly searching high and low for you!" Black water ghost's first words were murderous and shouted at Akira. Which result in making the corners of Minato's mouth twitch, Akira used my name, you are being trick! (Minato thought in his heart) Even though black water ghost had been tricked by Akira, he still really believed that his name is Minato, which is going to result to his death… (foreshadowing)

Next to Black water ghost is another jounin wearing Ame forehead protector. This jounin has a burly figure, about 1.9 meters tall, wearing a mask with only his eyes exposed and with a mysterious look.

"Old black, are these little brats the ones that hurt you badly? You really are getting old and weak, even losing to these little brats." The masked Ame jounin snorted quite gloatingly.

"Takeo sama, be careful, this kid is very slippery and tricky." Although black water ghost was ridiculed by the jounin, he still respectfully explained: "It was this kid who trick me before and seriously injured me."

"Huh, a little kid scared you until like this, you have really lose the face of our Amegakure!" Takeo sneered and turned to look at Akira.

For now, in order to hide his identity as a uchiha, he decisively closed his sharingan and the two Ame jounin didn't find anything out of place and suspicious.

Black water ghost seems to be a little afraid of this Ame jounin named Takeo. Which shows that Takeo is considered as the more powerful ones among the other jounin…

Faced with Takeo's sneer, Black Water Ghost didn't dare to refute it. Instead, he said fiercely towards Akira and his team: "kid, I said I will kill you! You can't escape now, I am proficient in tracking and can easily follow the smell to catch you!"

Akira suddenly came to understand, he was still a little puzzled just now about how black water ghost caught up, it turned out that black water ghost is proficient in tracking.

Black Water Ghost seemed to regard Akira as his prey that he was about to succeed in catching and proudly flaunted: "This time, I am not the only one who will hunt you down. Together with me is Takeo sama a famous jounin in Ame! He is a jounin that is even stronger than me!"

Akira frowned. It seemed that this Ame ninja named Takeo will not be easy to deal with.

"Minato, you will deal with black water ghost in a moment, while I will handle the other Ame jounin." Akira thought for a while and whispered.

Kushina worriedly asked: "Akira, do you plan to deal with this Ame jounin alone?"

"Don't worry, I'm sure I can do it." Akira whispered back. In the battle between jounin, it will be counter effective if Choza and others rush in to intervene, so Akira plan to face Ame jounin, Takeo alone.

Just nice, he can also see how far stronger he have become!

Takeo sneered, glanced at Akira with some contempt and said: "I will kill this kid first and then I will kill you all one by one!"

While talking, Takeo made a hand seal: "Water style, giant vortex jutsu!"

With a burst of chakra, the surrounding air gathered, extracting the moisture in the air, water geysers appeared on the ground and finally formed a vortex falling towards Akira and his team like a water fall. The sound of rumbling water sounded and strong sounds and air currents burst out frighteningly. The tumbling waves was rushing rapidly directly towards akira and his team!

"Damn it, it's a A rank Ninjutsu!" Choza was shocked, as expected of a well known jounin in Ame, using A rank ninjutsu right off the bat.

The water current of the great vortex jutsu rushed out, like a waterfall from a mountain, the water current swept through, swallowing everything like a predatory monster.

Fortunately, Akira and his team noticed the danger as soon as Takeo hand sealed and they all jumped onto the nearby trees and retreated through the trees one after another, only then did they escape the power of this great vortex jutsu. But despite this, the surrounding ground were shaking and many trees fell to pieces and washed away by the flood.

Just by relying on this great vortex jutsu, you can see that Takeo is indeed stronger than Black Water Ghost!

"Huh! Want to run? Now there is water all around, I will see where you can run to!" Takeo had already planned, just now he did not intend to kill Akira and others directly when he released the great vortex jutsu but instead planned to use the jutsu to create a water filled terrain. The jutsu formed water masses and then using the water, the ninjutsu he use will be more powerful, which will allow him to attack Akira more easily.

Akira also understands this, Takeo is really hard to deal with.

But of course he won't just sit and wait for death. Akira use his sharingan and quick hand seals: "Fire style, phoenix flower shuriken jutsu!"

(Naruto wiki: The user unleashes a volley of shuriken with one hand, and at the same time, exhales fire-infused chakra onto them in order to increase the weapons' destructive potential by making them capable of inflicting severe burns upon direct contact with either the intended victim, or any other object caught within their trajectories.)

Akira used fire style ninjutsu to attack Takeo. Phoenix flower jutsu is a B-rank fire ninjutsu. It was also used by Uchiha Itachi in the original story and it is an upgraded version of phoenix flower jutsu. This ninjutsu uses the flames created from phoenix flower jutsu and infused them to the flying shurikens, making the shurikens stronger.

"Huh, it's just fire ninjutsu." Takeo looked disdainful at Akira's fire ninjutsu. In his opinion, fire ninjutsu is not threatening for him, as he uses water ninjutsu.

"Water style, water dragon jutsu!" Takeo used water dragon jutsu and a water dragon emerged from the bottom of a lake, roaring and hit Akira's phoenix flower shuriken jutsu

When the fire ninjutsu collided with the water dragon justu, the flame of the jutsu was put out by the water.

A smug smile appeared on Takeo's face. Unfortunately, just when he was still feeling please with the put out of the fire ninjutsu, the shuriken from the phoenix flower shuriken jutsu did not stop, rushing towards Takeo!

Akira's superb shuriken skills were once again shown. Chakra strings were tied to the shuriken, drawing a strange arc, sealing Takeo's retreat path and attacking him!

"Substitution jutsu!" Takeo was frightened by this shuriken jutsu that he quickly used the substitution jutsu to get away and with the bang turned into a cloud of smoke, leaving only a piece of wood in place.

Takeo breathed a sigh of relief after the catastrophe. He didn't expect that the fire ninjutsu was mixed with shuriken jutsu, which is hard to defend from and had nearly killed him.

Takeo looked at Akira no longer contemptuously, his eyes gradually turned fierce, this kid actually embarrassed him and made him so haggard, he must give this kid an unforgettable lesson!
