Chapter 526： Mighty Menas (2-in-1)

Chapter 526: The Powerful Menas (two chapters in one, please vote for me)

At the same time, the audience was also buzzing with discussions.

“Hey, what kind of animal is this? Why have I never seen it before?” The daimyo of the Fire Country gently waved his paper fan, and his eyes lit up when he saw the sudden appearance of Menas.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire has seen many strange and rare beasts, but this is the first time he has seen such a beautiful and strange creature as Menas.

From the perspective of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, Menas's beautiful scales shimmered under the sunlight, as if inlaid with countless tiny gems, exuding a charming brilliance.

“I haven’t seen it either, it’s really elegant and beautiful.” The Daimyo of the Land of Rain nodded in approval.

Meenas has a tall and elegant figure, exuding an indescribable charm just by floating quietly on the water.

“I don’t know where to buy one, but I think it would be very pleasing to the eye if I buy one and put it in the pool.” The Daimyo of the Land of Fire liked Menas more and more.

“Me too.” The Daimyo of the Land of Rain said that he also liked Menas.

Other wealthy merchants and nobles who are not short of money also have the same idea. If you keep such a beautiful animal, it will not only be eye-catching, but also give you face.

Although the ninjas in the audience were also surprised by the beauty of Menas, they were more curious about another thing, how exactly Menas appeared, and they did not see Nohara Lin perform the psychic technique again.

Meenas gathered his strength and waved his powerful tail, and the whirlwind suddenly rose. Due to the accumulation of water, a large amount of water was sucked into the cyclone to form a waterspout.

Thick water jets spurted out from Menas' mouth, and the powerful impact knocked away all five incoming shurikens.

But now Kakashi is a little unsure, because now Menas is more like a snake. For snakes, it seems normal if it is not water.

Minas made a threatening cry and stared at Kakashi closely, protecting Nohara Rin behind him.

“Sure enough, there are abilities related to water.” Kakashi silently recorded the information while paying attention to the movements under the water.

"Water Release·Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

“Changes in chakra properties of wind chakra?”

It can finally fight for Nohara Rin like other ninja beasts.

“Tornado!”

Meinas lowered his head and pressed his head against Nohara Lin's forehead, his ruby-like eyes showing joy.

Kakashi has the blessing of Thunder Breath and is extremely fast, but this is water after all, and Menas's home field. Kakashi's distance is gradually shortened by Menas.

He just guessed that Menas might be able to master changes in the properties of water chakra, because Menas was a fish before evolving, and fish are related to water, which is very reasonable.

Huge waves splashed up, and the water waves that could reach Kakashi's height crashed towards Kakashi.

Kakashi looked at the tall Menas with great interest. The change from the Ugly Fish to the Menas was much greater than from the Charmander to the Fire Dinosaur. He was curious about what kind of strength the current Menas had.

“Water Waves!”

Boom!

The water-type chakra ball slammed onto the surface of the water, and the powerful wave force instantly caused the water surface that turned into a small lake to become restless.

“Ouch!”

Nohara Lin was in a very delicate mood. Not long ago, it was she who asked Menas to evacuate to a safe area, and now it was Menas who asked her not to take risks. It should be said that she had raised him with her own hands.

“Try regular attacks first.” Kakashi took out five shurikens from his ninja tool bag, stimulating chakra and injecting thunder attribute chakra into them to change their properties.

“Such a huge increase in strength.” Kakashi was secretly shocked after he stabilized his body.

Hush!

Five shurikens with lightning shot out quickly.

Whoosh!

After noticing Menas approaching, Kakashi suddenly dodged and retreated.

Meinas is so big that Kakashi doesn’t even need to worry about aiming.

“Xiao Mei, you have really become stronger.” Nohara Lin sighed when she saw Menus throwing out a tornado of more than six meters with one tail.

 

"Do you want me to stop moving and stay where I am?" Nohara Lin understood the meaning of Menas's cry.

Kakashi, who did not know the information, did not choose to resist forcefully, but retreated while speculating on Menas' ability.

Minas swam towards Kakashi quickly while condensing a huge amount of chakra at his tail.

 Kakashi took a few steps back to test Menas' ability. The Chou Ugly Fish had no fighting ability before, and now Kakashi knew nothing about Menas.

“Water gun!”

The attacks kept failing, and Menas became a little impatient, and finally decided to use its strongest move to attack Kakashi.

After the impact failed, Menas immediately launched the water attribute chakra ball that had been condensed in advance.

The next moment, Menas's slender body rushed out of the water where Kakashi was standing just now, causing a lot of water splashes.

 Kakashi, who was in a transparent world state, had insight into Menus' attack, and used thunder attribute chakra to strengthen his body and run at high speed.

Obviously it had no fighting power at all before evolving, but after evolving, it seems to be stronger than her. The ninja beast is really amazing.

After noticing Kakashi's attack, Menas quickly raised his head and concentrated his chakra.

To prevent the car from overturning, Kakashi silently formed a seal and used Earth Release to control the cracks in the ground, causing the water field created by Kisame to disappear at an accelerated rate.

If it's just Nohara Rin, that's all. If Menas is allowed to maintain the field advantage, then it shouldn't be the case.

Minas let out a clear cry, glanced at Nohara Rin, dived into the water, and swam quickly towards Kakashi.

"hold head high!"

Even ordinary people could take care of the ugly fish in the past, but now Menas and ordinary Konoha jounin do not have the strength of Menas.

Nohara Lin quickly formed a seal and used the little chakra she had left to use water escape ninjutsu to assist Menas.

At this time, she had noticed that the water level was lowering rapidly. The sudden change was obviously not because the drainage system of the venue was good enough, but because Kakashi had just used ninjutsu.

Roar!

The ferocious water dragon rotated around Nohara Rin, and finally rushed towards Kakashi.

At this time, Menas, who was approaching Kakashi, quickly converted the huge amount of chakra at the end of his tail into water attribute chakra, and waved the tail containing powerful power towards Kakashi.

“Water tail!”

 

Meinas' strong power drove a small amount of water on the field, and the water waves and tail attacked Kakashi together.

Coupled with the water dragon bomb released by Nohara Lin, it seems that Kakashi has entered a dangerous situation with nowhere to hide.

“You played well, that’s how it should be!” Obito in the lounge cheered for Menas.

It doesn’t matter where Menas comes from, what’s important is that Menas is about to help Nohara Rin defeat Kakashi!

At this moment, Obito just wished he had not brought his camera to the competition venue, otherwise he would have to record this moment.

"Kakashi, your life is like a candle in the wind." Obito laughed and mocked Kakashi in his heart.

We usually have one theory after another, but Nohara Lin has to defeat the strong by the weak in every situation.

boom!

It seemed that the joint attack of Nohara Rin and Menus was impossible to dodge. After Kakashi tried his best to dodge, he was hit and fell to the ground, splashing a lot of mud and water, making it difficult to see Kakashi's figure.

At this time, the water depth was less than 0.5 meters, and the water flow was still flowing rapidly.

“Did you win?” Nohara Lin was a little unbelievable.

She really never thought that she could beat Kakashi without letting him go. After all, the gap between her and Kakashi was huge visible to the naked eye, and she had no ability to restrain Kakashi.

Who would have thought that Chou Chou Fish would channel the slug together and evolve into Menas, and then Menas would still be so powerful that everything would be like a dream.

Zizzi!

As a hand stained with yellow mud was exposed out of the water, there was an electric noise, and a dazzling purple light covered the mud on the palm. Kakashi, who was in a state of embarrassment, got up.

Without Nohara Rin’s order, Menas immediately spat out a jet of water towards Kakashi who was getting up.

And Kakashi also unceremoniously released lightning to fight against the incoming water column.

Nohara Lin had no chakra to use ninjutsu and taijutsu, so she could only quietly retreat and distance herself from Kakashi to prevent Kakashi from finding an opportunity to take advantage of her.

But while Nohara Lin was watching Menas and Kakashi fighting, she didn't notice a hand stretching out quietly from the ground at her feet.

“Earth Release: Heart Beheading Technique!”

Nohara Lin's face suddenly changed when she noticed the abnormality in her calf, but at this moment she had no time to use the water teleportation technique, nor did she have the chakra to use strange power to directly crack the ground.

Huge pulling force came from the ground, pulling most of Nohara Lin's body into the ground.

After finishing all this, Kakashi squatted next to Nohara Lin and pointed the kunai at Nohara Lin.

The referee thought for a moment and directly announced the result of the battle: "Hatake Kakashi wins!"

Although Minas is still energetic and can continue fighting, this is Nohara Rin's game. If it were a real battle, Nohara Rin would be dead.

"Damn white-haired bastard, you really don't have martial ethics!" Obito saw this and called Kakashi despicable.

Meinas, who is good, doesn't fight, but cheats and makes sneak attacks to bully Nohara Rin who has no chakra.

"As expected of you Kakashi, you weren't hurt at all just now, were you?" Nohara Lin said with a helpless smile.

When she thought she was sure to lose, she suddenly won, and when she thought she had won, she lost again. Nohara Lin's mood was like a roller coaster that kept charging back and forth between lows and highs within a few seconds.

The moment she was pulled in, she kept thinking whether she would win in the end if she were in her prime, plus Menas.

However, Nohara Rin's mentality is generally good, because her original plan was to hold on to Kakashi for three minutes, and it would be considered successful if she caused a little damage to Kakashi.

Fighting Kakashi to this point is actually overfulfilling the task.

Kakashi nodded.

Although it looked tragic just now, Kakashi was only hit by Nohara Rin's water dragon bullet, plus the aftermath of Menas's water tail.

Kakashi used his armor to protect key body parts, so his body only looked embarrassed at that time, but in fact he was only slightly injured.

In order to end the battle more steadily, Kakashi used the mud and water to cover up the shadow clone technique when he fell. The shadow clone used Earth Release to sneak into the ground to attack Nohara Lin, who had no chakra. The main body used Thunder Release to attract the line of sight and then dragged it away. Live in Menas.

Without much explanation, Kakashi canceled the shadow clone technique and used Earth Release to release Nohara Lin.

Meinas saw that Nohara Lin was also covered in mud, so he condensed chakra to form a ball of blue-green water next to Nohara Lin.

The water ball exploded around Nohara Lin, and the blue-green liquid enveloped Nohara Lin, washing away the sludge on Nohara Lin's body. At the same time, all the scratches caused by Nohara Lin's being dragged into the ground were healed, and even the person next to Nohara Lin was healed. Kakashi also felt the feeling of his body being repaired.

“What a comfortable chakra.” Slug looked at Menas curiously.

"Is this a change in the nature of water-type chakra or a change in the nature of yang-type chakra?" Kakashi couldn't tell what ninjutsu Minas used.

Looking at the effects of the Ninjutsu, the Ninjutsu that Menas just used was like Yang Release. The injury recovered quickly, and the body felt much more relaxed.

But it was Menas' blue-green water droplets that had just a therapeutic effect, and it could not be ruled out that it was Menas' own special water escape.

After all, Shisui's Zoroa also has a special illusion, and it's not impossible that Menas has a special water escape.

Meinas lowered his head and did not dare to look at Nohara Lin, and his voice was a little muffled.

This was its first battle with Nohara Lin, but such an important battle was lost because of its carelessness.

"It's okay, you've done your best, it's my problem." Nohara Lin gently stroked Menas' milky white body and comforted her. Since Menas evolved during battle, Nohara Rin did not know the specific abilities of Menas and could not cooperate well with Menas. In addition, she was at a disadvantage in the previous battle, which caused her to consume a lot of physical strength and chakra.

If the pot was to be divided, Nohara Lin would definitely take the initiative to take the big blame.

Meinas shook his head, and the red hair-like fins swayed along with it. If it weren't for Nohara Lin, it wouldn't have the courage to fight like this, and it wouldn't be able to evolve.

“Ahem, the winning contestant should go back to the lounge to rest, while the defeated contestant can choose to go to the auditorium.” The referee reminded aloud.

Kakashi understood what the referee meant, said goodbye to Nohara Rin and walked back to the lounge.

Nohara Lin stood on tiptoes and touched Minas' head to cancel the psychic beast, and left the arena to go to the audience.

Because his body was in a rather awkward state, Kakashi did not return to the lounge immediately. Instead, he went to the player facilities next to the lounge to wash up and wash away the dirt on his body.

"The span of Minas' strength is too great. There is a high probability that Obito will not be able to defeat the combined efforts of Minas and Xiaolin." Kakashi wiped his dripping white hair with a towel, still recalling the incident just now in his mind. A battle.

Had Nohara Rin not been beaten nearly incapable of fighting before Menus evolved, Kakashi would never have been able to win so easily.

Kakashi hardly took any action against Minus, and won by targeting Nohara Rin.

“It seems that we still underestimated the ninja beast that Teacher Muyue gave us.” Kakashi felt that the rock dog might become his fighting force sooner than he thought.

Meinas has no combat experience, and he has such strength just by randomly using ninjutsu. If he practices for a month, he may be able to suppress Obito alone by relying on water and fire.

Kakashi is looking forward to the evolution of the rock dog more and more.

After finishing washing, Kakashi walked back to the lounge.

“Kakashi, is that big cream water snake Xiaolin’s new psychic beast?” Kakashi couldn’t help but ask Obito as soon as he walked into the lounge.

Kakashi looks weird. Menas is so beautiful. Why do you call it a big cream water snake?

“It’s Mei.” Kakashi replied succinctly.

"How is it possible? This is..." Obito was shocked, unable to equate the Menas that appeared before with Nohara Rin's Ugly Fish.

The evolution of Charmander into Fire Dinosaur is the same species becoming more mature, but Menas and Ugly Fish don't feel like the same species.

"No matter what you think, it is reality." Kakashi replied calmly.

Just like Kakashi can accept a dog hatching from an egg, its existence is reasonable, and it is normal for ninja beasts to be different from ordinary animals.

“Okay, that’s quite powerful. He became so much stronger all of a sudden.” Obito said, scratching his head.

Although he didn't face it personally, looking at the movement of each ninjutsu of Menas, he could tell that Menas' strength was extraordinary.

"Why are fire dinosaurs so different from each other in the same evolution?" Obito thought of his own ninja beasts.

His Fire Dinosaur was the first Pokémon to evolve, but it couldn't even defeat the unevolved Rock Dog.

At this moment, Obito wished that his own Fire Dinosaur could teach himself how to change the nature of thunder-type chakra overnight to get rid of the fire-type nature of his subordinates.

“Uchiha Shisui wins!”

While Kakashi was chatting with Obito and Metkai, Shisui defeated his opponent and won.

When Shisui returned, he also asked Kakashi similar questions to Obito, but the words were more civilized.

“I see, evolution can actually bring about such great changes and improvements.” Shisui looked thoughtful.

 Comparing the Fire Dinosaur and Menas, he felt that not every Ninja Beast could have such a huge change after evolving.

It was precisely the powerlessness of the Chouchouyu period that led to the brilliance of Menas after evolution.

The four of Shisui then discussed their experiences in cultivating ninja beasts in the lounge while watching the battles. There were only the last three battles left in the second round, and they were all acquaintances, the last of which was simply Obito himself.

In the penultimate game, Asma won the game with her sharp wind escape.

In the penultimate game, Terumi Mei flexibly used the two major blood continuation limits and showed a strong water escape, successfully entering the quarterfinals.

In the last game, facing the talented ninjas of the Grass Ninja Village, Obito opened the game with full firepower and entered the Breath of Fire Chakra mode to use fire escape to kill the opponent instantly.

Although this fire escape is a subordinate, it is still relatively easy to use.

At this point, the second round of the Youth Budokai ended, and the top eight of the Budokai were determined. The first day of battle ended here, and the players and spectators began to leave.

“Senior Hanzo, how do you feel?” Mu Yue looked at Hanzo and asked with a smile.

“A genius in the ninja world is like a crucian carp crossing a river.” Hanzo commented.

Before coming to watch the competition, Hanzo never imagined that there would be any ninjas who would have the chance to compete with Nagato for the championship. You must know that Nagato is a genius with immortal eyes.

The motivation for Hanzo to watch the game now is to watch Nagato lose, and then take the opportunity to observe Sosuke's expression.

There is only one Ninja ninja left among the top eight, Nagato. If Nagato does not make it to the top four, the Ninja Sect will give away all the rewards.

“It’s a pity that there is no Rain Ninja Village.” Kakuzu added.

Hanzo's face quickly darkened, there was no need to emphasize this kind of thing.

"Because we are partners, Hanzo, let me show you a clear path. Now the Ninja Sect is taking over the training of ninjas. If you Yu Ninja don't know how to teach, you can pay others to help teach you." Kakuzu explained his purpose. out.

Nothing else, just the gold coins from the Rain Ninja Village. At the same time, in the future, the Rain Ninja Village can be solved using a simpler method that will not cause instability in the Land of Rain.

"Originally, our Ninja Sect didn't have the time, but Iwagakure sent a high-priced commission, so our Ninja Sect started this business."

“So that’s the case, no wonder there are so many Iwagakure working in Rokudo City.” Hanzo understood.

 I have to say that Kakuzu's words are indeed convincing to a certain extent. They have both the peers of the Five Great Ninja Villages, Iwagakure, and the signature of Soyousuke Ninja Master as a guarantee.

“There is no need to trouble everyone from the Ninja Sect for the time being.” Hanzo refused.

Although it sounds good, it can easily allow the Ninja Sect to insert spies among the Rain Ninjas.

Kakuzu didn’t stalk him, and after Hanzo refused, he stopped talking.

He had expected this. After all, Hanzo didn't look stupid, so he couldn't agree easily.

He was just laying the groundwork first. This kind of thing cannot be done in a day or two.

…

Due to the elegance and beauty of Menas, Nohara Lin was chased by many people after she went to the auditorium to ask where to buy Menas. Among them were not only wealthy merchants and nobles, but also many ninjas.

Because Menas proved in the battle that he is not a vase, he has both appearance and powerful strength.

But Menus' egg was given by Mu Yue, and Nohara Lin never asked Mu Yue where she got the egg, so naturally she couldn't answer other people's questions.

Seeing that today's martial arts meeting has ended, Nohara Lin couldn't stand it anymore and ran to Mu Yue's side.

"Her ninja beast was obtained by me by chance. If you are interested, you can go find it, but I don't recommend it because I have already looked for it." Mu Yue casually mentioned a remote area to put her off.

The famous Lieyang Muyue explained in person, and instantly no one dared to continue to pester Nohara Lin.

"Little girl, your name is Nohara Lin, right? I am very interested in that ninja beast. I am willing to pay fifty million taels to buy it. What do you think?" The Daimyo of the Land of Fire chose to activate the money ability.

The Daimyo of the Country of Rain originally wanted to buy it from Nohara Rin, but he closed his mouth when the Daimyo of the Country of Fire opened his mouth.

“My lord, I’m sorry, Xiaomei is very important to me, and it cannot be measured by money.” Nohara Lin rejected the proposal of the Fire Country Daimyo without hesitation.

Nohara Lin has never had a desire for money. Of course, she would not buy or sell her precious partner because of this kind of thing.

Furthermore, Nohara Lin does not feel that she is qualified to buy or sell Menas. Menas and she have an equal relationship.

“Then ninety million taels?” The Fire Country Daimyo thought that the money was not enough, so he almost doubled the price.

However, Nohara Lin still refused immediately without any wavering.

"In this case, there is no other way. I hope Mu Yue you can help me keep an eye on whether there are any other ninja beasts. My price will not change." The name of the Fire Country said to Mu Yue.

 Nohara Lin had no choice but to give it to him. He couldn't steal the girl's pet. He could only ask the discoverer Mu Yue to pay more attention to it, and then issue an S-level mission to capture the ninja beasts in Konoha.

Mu Yue nodded and agreed.

“Sure enough, big countries are richer.” Mu Yue thought in her heart.

If the name of the Fire Country was heard by Kakuzu, Mu Yue estimated that Kakuzu would be able to transform into Menas to collect the bonus.

This is a total of ninety million taels, worth two and a half asma.

"Teacher Muyue." Obito and others greeted Muyue as they left the players' lounge.

Mu Yue responded with a smile, and then looked in a certain direction.

Hand walked expressionlessly for a while and then naturally changed direction. The moment he turned around, Scorpion frowned.

“Lieyang Muyue is actually here, and he seems to be Kakashi Hatake’s teacher.” Xie instantly felt that the difficulty of killing Kakashi had increased by another level.

Even Scorpio, who is wandering around, has heard more or less about the deeds of Lieyang Muyue.

Just by looking at each other in the air for a tenth of a second, Xie knew that Mu Yue was by no means a wasted person.

Just now he had tried his best to hide himself, and he had been observing with the corner of his eye. Even so, he was discovered by Mu Yue instantly.

"More investigation and research on this place is needed." Xie knew that it was not the time to carry out an assassination yet, and was ready to familiarize himself with Liudao City first.

Even though his opponents include famous and strong men like Lieyang Muyue, as well as geniuses like Metkai and Shisui, Scorpion still feels that he can kill Kakashi. He has no doubt that he has this ability.

The Third Kazekage, who is known as the strongest Kazekage, all died under his assassination. No matter how strong Lieyang Muyue is, the Third Kazekage cannot be stronger.

“Is there anything over there?” Obito followed Mu Yue’s gaze, but found nothing, and couldn’t help but ask doubtfully.

“Nothing.” Mu Yue replied with a faint smile.

Although he is a shadow clone, he just can't identify the data on Xie's body. Xie's attempt to hide in front of him is just a dream.

He does not need to conduct an appraisal, because Scorpion's data has already been read by Mu Yue when he signed up.

The Youth Martial Arts Association Muyue has two major purposes. One is to solve the economic problems of the Ninja Sect, and the other is to train disciples.

In order to prevent the appearance of outrageous monsters and monsters, Mu Yue has identified every contestant.

Xie thought he was hiding well, but in fact it was just that Mu Yue felt that Xie did not need his body to deal with it directly.

"Xiao Lin, your last battle was so exciting. You almost won in that situation." Obito turned to look at Nohara Lin, discussing the second round of the battle with Nohara Lin excitedly.

"It's not as exaggerated as you said, Obito. It's mainly Xiaomei who is contributing." Nohara Lin is very self-aware.

“But Mei is your psychic beast, so its strength is yours.” Obito said matter-of-factly.

Obito is really envious of Nohara Rin now. He is also an evolved ninja beast. He feels that Menus can knock the fire dinosaur to the ground with one tail.

Whether it is in terms of size or physical strength, the Fire Dinosaur is far inferior to Menas.

Kakashi showed a regretful expression. He thought that Obito would continue to call Menas the Cream Water Snake, and something interesting would probably happen by then.

"Xiaolin, can you tell me the details of Xiaomei's evolution?" Shisui wanted to learn excellent nurturing experience from Nohara Lin.

“Okay.” Nohara Lin readily agreed.

 PS: I’m feeling groggy today and I’m not in the best mood to write. This chapter is 7k, which is a little less than the normal 8k two-in-one, but it shouldn’t be a problem to call it a big chapter.

Also, please give me a monthly pass
