Chapter 121: The First Mission Outside the Village
"Wind Style: Big Breakthrough!"
"Fire Style: Great Fireball!"
Naruto and Sasuke unleashed their jutsu in tandem. The gusts of wind amplified the roaring flames, creating a powerful wave of fire. But despite the explosive combination, the attack failed to land.
Across the field, Shisui calmly sidestepped the blast with a smirk. "Your talent is impressive—wind and fire at your age, huh? But no matter how strong your ninjutsu is, it’s useless if it doesn’t hit your target."
"Wind Style: Great Scythe Itachi!"
"Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique!"
They attempted another combo, but Sasuke’s jutsu fizzled out mid-air. Naruto’s wind technique had created a vacuum, nullifying the flames entirely.
"You idiot!" Sasuke snapped. "Why the hell would you use Scythe Itachi? Didn’t I tell you it cancels out fire jutsu?!"
"Wait, really?" Naruto scratched his head, blinking. "You said that?"
Sasuke’s eye twitched. "I definitely said it."
With ninjutsu proving ineffective, the trio—Naruto, Sasuke, and Karin—had no choice but to rely on taijutsu. They clashed with Shisui using only their fists, trying to land any kind of hit. At the very least, Shisui didn’t mind lowering himself to hand-to-hand.
