Chapter 134: Underwater Battle

While Fujin, Mieko and Hoka were dealing with their opponents, the others had begun fighting as well.

Renjiro finally managed to stop Mitsuzuka from running. Mitsuzuka looked at Renjiro and shouted, "Why the fuck are you here Renjiro? I have no interest in fighting you. I'll leave that fucking country of hot springs. That should fulfill your mission parameters, right?"

Renjiro smirked. He wasn't unaware of how foul-mouthed Mitsuzuka was. He said, "Unfortunately, you killed too many civilians. The Daimyo was very insistent on bringing your head back."

A scowl formed on Mitsuzuka's face. He shouted back, "Don't fucking underestimate me Renjiro! I killed dozens of your fucking subordinates in the last war. If you want to kill me, I'll take a fucking piece of you too!"The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.

Renjiro didn't reply. There was no point in engaging in more talks. He made a hand sign.

'Water Release : Water Dragon jutsu'

A water dragon formed behind Renjiro and moved rapidly towards Mitsuzuka. Mitsuzuka flickered while making hand signs.

'Water Release : Water Shock bomb'

He released a jet of water that hit the dragon on its head and exploded. Both jutsus were neutralized. Water showered in all directions. Mitsuzuka thought, 'Too easy. There should be more.'

As Mitsuzuka thought, 3 Water Dragons appeared at the spot where the two jutsus had just clashed. The one in the center moved straight at Mitsuzuka. The other two water dragons split in opposite directions and attacked Mitsuzuka from his right and left.

Mitsuzuka moved backwards while making hand signs. Suddenly, he jumped backwards. A huge head of another Water Dragon appeared under his feet. The Dragon opened its mouth and shot a giant ball of water at Mitsuzuka.

Mitsuzuka watched with a grim expression on his face. He continued making hand signs.

'Water Release : Giant Mirror Shield jutsu'

Just when the water sphere was about to hit him, a giant mirror of Water appeared in front of him.

The ball of water hit the mirror and exploded. The mirror collapsed, but the impact didn't pass through it.

Behind the mirror, Mitsuzuka had used Water Prison jutsu to protect himself.

3 of them went ahead to intercept the 3 new clones of Mitsuzuka. The remaining 3 moved together in a group. Renjiro thought, 'Let's see how you counter this.'

The group of the 3 water clones attacked a clone of Mitsuzuka who was engaged in combat. It was caught off guard due to being suddenly attacked by 3 more clones. One of Renjiro's water clones sent a flying slash at him and dispelled him.

Mitsuzuka's face became grim. He realized the danger that the group of 3 clones posed. He immediately recalled his clones. They stopped fighting and retreated next to him. Renjiro and his clones tried attacking and dispelling them, but they were able to dodge everything and go back safely.

Mitsuzuka and his 6 Water Clones looked at Renjiro and his 10 water clones and his Sloth summon. Renjiro immediately pressed on the attack. His 10 water clones dispersed in different directions and assaulted Mitsuzuka from all sides.

Mitsuzuka's clones entered into a defensive formation. They desperately defended Renjiro's assault. Mitsuzuka cursed in his mind, 'These fucking Senju and their fucking huge reserves! If I keep fighting, my chakra reserves will dry up. I wanted to take advantage of him chasing me and land a killing blow, but he has been so fucking careful! I need to escape. Or I'll be dead. Worse, I'd be eaten by the fucking beast!'

Renjiro's clones kept up the assault. Renjiro floated next to his summon and observed, 'He is in a crunch. If he just makes one misstep, I'll kill him. Either he will need to create more clones or he will need to find a way to escape.'

After desperately defending for a couple of minutes, Mitsuzuka made his decision. He made a hand sign. 5 more Water clones appeared around him.

All his water clones immediately moved to attack Renjiro's clones. The last one attacked Renjiro and his summon. Meanwhile, Mitsuzuka turned around and ran away.

Renjiro noticed it. It was as he anticipated. He quickly made two water clones to intercept the incoming clone. He rode the sloth to chase after Mitsuzuka. The sloth went around the battlefield of the water clones and swam towards where Mitsuzuka had escaped.

However, soon it stopped and turned around and attacked a water clone. Renjiro was surprised. He hadn't instructed the sloth to do anything like this. However, his eyes widened as he realized why the sloth had done this.

The 'water clone' had a grim face! It was actually Mitsuzuka disguised as a water clone. The one who ran away was actually a clone. Mitsuzuka wanted to lure Renjiro's main body away. Then he could create more clones to block all of Renjiro's clones and run away before Renjiro realized that he was tricked.

He immediately began cursing, 'What the fuck? How the fuck can this beast smell underwater?'

He immediately fell into a difficult situation. Renjiro and his clones made a hand sign and assaulted Mitsuzuka with dozens of water bullets.

Mitsuzuka barely managed to dodge and block them. However, a few cuts appeared on his body. Once the Water bullet barrage was over, the sloth moved forward and swung its massive claws at Mitsuzuka. Mitsuzuka immediately moved to dodge it.

Renjiro appeared in his path and attacked him with his sword. Mitsuzuka knew about Renjiro's abilities with a sword. He grabbed his kunai and channeled his chakra through it.

He blocked Renjiro's sword and used the force of the sword to move away from Renjiro. However, Renjiro's clone intercepted him and attacked him with Water Dragon jutsu. At the same time, the sloth as well as Renjiro moved forward to attack Mitsuzuka.

Mitsuzuka desperately defended himself.
