"What was once lost, the Uchiha will take back with their own hands."
Uchiha Inaho's voice had barely faded when, without giving Jiraiya another chance to speak, he roared, "Move!"
The five simultaneously formed hand seals, and a large amount of Chakra began to gather in their mouths.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
A sea of flames, like a tidal wave, erupted from the mouths of the five, unleashed in one breath towards Jiraiya and the others.
The surging, violent flames released an incredibly terrifying heat, as if to evaporate the entire sea.
They showed no intention of holding back; this was the most basic respect for the Three Ninja.
However, it wasn't Jiraiya who stepped forward to block this attack.
"Water Release: Water Formation Pillar!"
Mei Terumi, also within the range of the sea of fire, rapidly formed hand seals, and a giant ball of water spewed from her mouth, exploding in the air with a thunderous roar. The rolling water flowed like a flood, or as if the Milky Way were flowing backward.
It was clearly just one person using Water Release, but in terms of momentum, it overwhelmed the Fire Release cast by Uchiha Inaho and the other four together.
Boom!
The terrifying sea of fire and the reversed Milky Way collided in the air, and the towering fire waves and rushing water cascades erupted in a fierce confrontation, with a large amount of water vapor rising.
Uchiha Inaho and the others, still spewing flames on the ship, all had a change in expression. They hadn't expected that the Fire Release cast by the five of them together would be blocked by one person.
This Hidden Mist's strength was not to be underestimated.
Boom! Boom!
The five increased their Chakra input again, making the already violent sea of fire even more terrifying.
The towering fire waves surged like overturning mountains and seas, continuously rushing towards the torrent spewed out by Mei Terumi, but the scorching flames were always unable to push forward any further.
Unlike the slightly strained state of the five Uchiha, Mei Terumi still seemed to have some leeway.
And the evenly matched sea of fire and water cascade in the air seemed to divide the entire sky into two worlds of red and blue.
The two stalemated in the air for a long time.
In the end, Mei Terumi's water cascade overwhelmed the Uchiha Inaho's sea of fire. The violent water flow, carrying enormous power, slammed against the bow of the patrol boat. For a time, water splashed everywhere, and in the midst of the huge roar, the entire bow was directly smashed to pieces.
Fortunately, Uchiha Inaho and the others dodged in time; if they had been hit by this attack, perhaps their entire bodies would have been directly smashed to pieces.
Uchiha Inaho looked at Mei Terumi with a solemn expression. Jiraiya and Kakashi also had shock in their eyes. They hadn't expected that this unknown Hidden Mist would have such strong strength.
Those were five Uchiha Ninja with Three-Tomoe Sharingan, not ordinary Jonin. Although they had the advantage of Chakra attribute countering, suppressing five people with one's own strength was already at the top level.
However, Mei Terumi, who had just completed this feat, didn't have much joy on her face, instead revealing a charming smile.
"Little handsome guys..."
Just as Mei Terumi was about to say a few words of explanation, Uchiha Inaho and the others attacked again.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique!"
The five formed hand seals again at the same time, and instead of spewing out a sea of fire from their mouths, five fire dragons spewed out from the mouths of the five, flying towards Mei Terumi and the others.
Compared to the wide-range attack of the Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation just now, the Fire Dragon Technique's fire dragon is more concentrated in terms of attack power, and its single destructive power is also stronger.
Mei Terumi saw that the other party didn't even give her a chance to explain, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth. It wasn't that she was afraid, but that the other party had already launched a Signal Flare, and there would definitely be reinforcements coming. Without knowing the other party's specific strength, they didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.
However, the other party's arrogance made her a little angry.
"Take care of them first."
Mei Terumi ordered Ao and Chojuro, then glanced at Jiraiya and Kakashi, and quickly formed hand seals.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"
Five streams of water transformed into water dragons in the air, rushing towards the fire dragons flying towards them.
Mei Terumi went all out this time, and four fire dragons were directly dispersed, leaving only Uchiha Inaho and Mei Terumi in a stalemate again.
At this time, Ao and Chojuro also attacked at the same time.
Ao shot several Shuriken at Uchiha Inaho, who was still releasing the Great Fire Dragon Technique, but they were blocked by an Uchiha. Then, he threw various Ninja tools again. Relying on the Byakugan's insight, every attack was aimed at the opponent's vitals, but each time it was blocked by the opponent with a Kunai.
The Sharingan's insight is also not bad.
Chojuro honestly waved Hiramekarei and rushed up, engaging in close combat with the others.
"Jiraiya-sama, should we take action?"
Kakashi asked Jiraiya for his opinion. Mei Terumi's eyes clearly warned them not to slack off.
Jiraiya shook his head without speaking, but his brows were tightly furrowed. He felt a sense of being spied on.
"Barrier: Canopy Formation!"
Jiraiya quickly formed hand seals, and a transparent spherical detection barrier spread out around him.
After sensing two figures, his pupils shrank slightly, he put his hands together, and the white hair behind him grew wildly.
"Ninja Art: Lion's Mane Technique!"
The white hair instantly rose, covering the sky and the sun, sweeping towards a direction in the air, and like a mighty lion, pounced on its prey.
However, the white hair was instantly torn apart when it approached a certain position.
Jiraiya's eyes narrowed slightly, and he also realized that the other party was indeed hiding there.
The hair behind him grew wildly again, like several agile tentacles, grabbing towards that position from different angles. However, just as the hair was about to touch the target, it was directly torn apart.
In that area, there seemed to be countless invisible Wind blades, blocking Jiraiya's attack. As soon as those hairs approached, they were cut off by an invisible force, and fluttered down.
After discovering that the attack was fruitless, Jiraiya took the initiative to withdraw the Ninjutsu, staring at the empty space, forming hand seals, preparing to perform another Ninjutsu, but his originally squinted eyes slowly widened, and the movements in his hands also stopped.
Kakashi next to him also showed a look of "as expected".
Naruto's figure slowly emerged in the air, and with him was Uchiha Izumi.
"Are they the reinforcements from the other side?"
Mei Terumi also noticed the movement on Jiraiya's side. After suppressing Uchiha Inaho's Fire Release again, she immediately retreated to Jiraiya's side, while calling out to Chojuro, who was still on the opposite ship.
"Chojuro, come back!"
But no one responded to her. Facing three opponents alone, Chojuro was captured by the three Uchiha after only a few moves.
Mei Terumi's expression turned ugly, but for the time being, she didn't make any other moves, her gaze warily fixed on the suddenly appearing Naruto.
"How wonderful."
Naruto slowly landed on the damaged bow with Uchiha Izumi. Several Uchiha immediately saluted him. Naruto simply looked down at them condescendingly, a hint of approval in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved up.
"So sharp, are you, Miss Mei Terumi."
