Chapter 303: Chapter 301 : Genjutsu??
Boom~~
The water prison exploded with a violent crackle, boiling, as countless bubbles floated out of the prison.
In an instant, several sharks dissipated.
No damage was done to Hayashi.
"Sixth attack,"
"Seventh attack..."
"..."
Kisame couldn't believe it, once again urging the sharks to attack Hayashi. Hayashi showed no sign of yielding, almost destroying a shark with every two moves.
"This is bad, at this rate, I'll be dragged down. I need to break out of this water prison!" Hayashi muttered, fighting while quickly moving forward, hoping to escape the prison.
However, after moving a short distance, Hayashi suddenly stopped.
He realized no matter how far he moved, he was still at the center of the water prison, as if trapped.
"Strange... this water prison seems to move with me!" Hayashi thought, his gaze shifting upwards. "If I want to get out, I'll have to break through from the top!"
It was either defeat Kisame or break through from above!
With a plan in mind, Hayashi began to swim upwards, aiming to break through the top of the water prison.
"You've finally left the ground." Kisame grinned as he saw Hayashi rising from the surface, heading upwards. "Now it's my turn to attack!"
With a step in the water, Kisame, now fully merged with the shark's flesh, became a sharp water sword, charging towards Hayashi.
After merging with the Samehada, Kisame moved quickly through the water, and his strength and abilities were greatly enhanced.
He fought against Hayashi in the water.
Perhaps not being used to fighting in water, Hayashi's power was formidable, but it still couldn't gain the upper hand against the agile Kisame. In fact, several injuries had appeared on him.
"Heh heh... Although I don't know how you're able to stay in the water for so long, as long as you're trapped in this water prison, you're bound to lose!" Kisame laughed as he spoke in the water. "In the water, I am the king!"
After saying that,
Kisame charged again.
He wanted to tear Hayashi apart.
Hayashi fought back fiercely in the water, but it was clearly at a disadvantage in this environment.
In just a few breaths, the water around Hayashi had turned light red. Fortunately, Hayashi had regeneration, so he could quickly heal his wounds.
Not far away,
"Are you not going to help?" Shisui looked at the large water prison that was almost right in front of him, a hint of concern flashing in his eyes.
In the water,
Hayashi was clearly at a disadvantage.
"He can handle it!" Genya also looked at the battlefield, his tone still calm and unhurried.
He was currently contemplating whether to take the Samehada.
It seemed wasteful for the Samehada to stay on Kisame; many of his subordinates didn't have weapons, and the Samehada would make a great weapon.
Besides, the Samehada had a similar property to his Black Flame—it could absorb the opponent's chakra, and importantly, it could even provide chakra to its master.
It was a great weapon.
"Itachi, who do you think will win this battle?" Orochimaru asked with interest, looking over at Itachi, his tone carrying a hint of inquiry.
It seemed he was testing Itachi's judgment.
"This battle, Kisame will lose!" Itachi directly said, without giving any thought to his companion.
"Do you really look down on your partner like that?" Orochimaru also laughed.
Uchiha Itachi said, "If it were anyone else in this water prison, even a tailed beast, Kisame could win, but against a wood-style ninja, the outcome is already decided!"
Orochimaru simply smiled at Itachi's words and didn't continue talking.
Instead, he turned his attention back to the center of the water prison.
At this point, Hayashi and Kisame had separated, standing face-to-face in the center of the water prison, both of them alert.
In Hayashi's eyes, there was only determination: "Your water prison is indeed impressive, but unfortunately, you encountered me, and you will lose!"
Hayashi didn't want to waste time. He began making hand seals!
As he began, bubbles started emerging in large numbers from the water prison.
Huh?
Kisame, who had thought he was certain to win, noticed the strange change and looked down at the ground.
He saw several vines appearing on the ground, and the bubbles were coming up through the vines from beneath the surface.
The vines intertwined and merged!
Eventually, they formed a thick tree trunk, followed by branches.
The tree rapidly grew, and in the blink of an eye, it had reached half the height of the water prison, directly restraining Hayashi.
"You plan to use wood release to break my water prison with trees?" Kisame finally realized what Hayashi was trying to do. His heart was filled with shock and even a sense of helplessness!
If Hayashi wanted to use trees to break the water prison, Kisame had no way to stop him.
It was too late to prevent it.
And so, Kisame watched as the giant tree continued to rise, its branches becoming more and more lush.
It almost took up half of the water prison.
Hayashi stood at the top of the tree. As soon as he broke through the water prison, he would be the first to escape.
A few breaths later.
Hayashi touched the boundary of the water prison, and with the tree's push, his head broke through the water prison.
Whoosh~~
Hayashi finally breathed in fresh air.
However, the water prison didn't break. Hayashi continued to control the tree to grow rapidly.
Eventually, when the giant tree's crown broke through the water prison, Kisame could no longer maintain such a large water prison.
It shattered with a loud crash.
The water in the prison exploded outward, spreading like a tsunami, demolishing everything in its path.
"Sizzle... Even watching a show isn't peaceful!" Genya murmured quietly, watching the surging flood. He sighed but then leapt onto the water's surface.
Despite the waves rolling beneath him, he and Hayashi stood on the water, unmoving.
Orochimaru and Itachi saw the incoming water and began to retreat.
But when they saw the water flooding into their base, Orochimaru felt a pang of pain.
"Damn Kisame, after this, we'll have to change bases again!"
In just one breath, half of his base would be submerged!
Damn it, Orochimaru was frustrated. He should've sealed the entrance to his base when Kisame first used the water prison.
Looking down from the tree, Hayashi's eyes suddenly focused. He seemed to see two familiar faces!
A person with a monkey mask and another with a tiger mask!
"Genya-sama, and Uchiha Shisui?" Hayashi's eyes sparkled with excitement. It seemed like his master had come to help because he was worried about him.
Upon seeing Genya, Hayashi immediately leaped down from the tree.
He controlled the vines to carry Kimimaro and the others forward. Whether or not it was Genya, he had to leave now.
"You can't leave yet!" But as soon as he moved, Itachi and the recently recovered Kisame blocked his path again, their expressions serious.
"Move aside, I have more important things to do!" Hayashi growled, controlling the vines to bind Itachi and Kisame.
But Itachi and Kisame remained motionless, yet Hayashi saw a flicker in Itachi's eyes!
Immediately, Hayashi saw Itachi and Kisame get entangled.
"Huh, they were trapped so easily?" Hayashi was startled, but since he needed to leave quickly, he didn't pay much attention and prepared to retreat.
However, just as he was about to move, he found that he couldn't.
Looking down,
He saw that thick vines were coiling around him, binding him so tightly that he couldn't move.
