Chapter 75 - 75 (1/2)
Flaming blocks of iron were scattered around Ryo and his two opponents.
Shalun did not expect that his joint attack with Pakura could be blocked by Ryo. Pakura herself was looking at Ryo with extreme chock.
”How many more techniques is he hiding? He didn't use any of these when facing you?” Shalun asked.
Pakura shook her head and didn't say anything. It did indeed seem a bit fishy. She didn't want to say more. Shalun didn't keep asking her, and he thought she was trying to figure out a way to deal with Ryo.
”Pakura, we still have to cooperate. This kid's Ice is not invincible. A moment ago, at the time of the explosion, his Ice blades melted.”
”Are you sure about that?” Pakura was surprised.
”Yes, if you don't believe me, try with the ice block over there.” Said Shalun.
”Okay, I'll try!” Pakura agreed with his proposal.
Seeing this, Pakura was relieved. Finding a weakness of Ryo made her have some hope in victory.
Ryo who was observing them with the Sharingan saw them do that experiment. He was shocked that they were actually able to melt some of his Ice.
This was the 1st time that his ice was melted. Even when fighting with Sakumo, it was just cut by his knife. (TL note: I guess he's excluding times when it was melted with using Senjutsu Chakra.)
This made Ryo realize that his Ice's heat resistance was limited. Once the temperature exceeds a certain limit, the ice will melt.
Pakura and Shalun found that Scorching Iron Sand could melt Ryo's ice, so the two launched another attack.
In the face of such untouchable and deadly attacks, Ryo could only constantly use Lighting Blink and Ice Scalpel to escape. He also had to be careful not to let the Ice scalpel touch the scorching Iron Sand.
”Ryo, do you need me to help you with Water?” Asked Gamahiro.
”No need. I can beat these two, and they can't beat me either. Jiraya san's battle is almost over. You can help me with the other Sand Ninjas.
When Ryo entered the Sage mode to use the Rasenshuriken, he sensed the situation on Jiraya's side. Rasa was about to fall!
Shalun and Pakura had no idea about Rasa's state against Jiraya, so they just kept attacking Ryo.
As the two continued using the Scorching Iron Sand, the water produced by Konoha's Ninjas was evaporating, generating a large amount of updraft.
Ryo was too busy dodging so he didn't notice it until the sky was turning dark. He looked up to find the c_u_mulonimbus in the air.
Looking at it, Ryo remembered a Jutsu used in the Manga during the fight between Sasuke and Itachi.
When he 1st saw that attack, Ryo was really shocked by it. Kirin had somewhat of a wide Range, and it was too fast to be avoided, reaching the ground in 1/1000th of a second.
While Ryo was evading to attacks of the two, he used his Sharingan to see if there was any friction in the cloud to aid him in producing lightning. After confirming that, Ryo contacted Gamahiro.
Pakura's Scorch allowed Ryo to use the cloud to make Kirin. Now, he only needs to guide the lightning, while being in a position where he can't be hit.
In the Manga, Sasuke used the attack from high ground. But here is the desert; Ryo couldn't find any high spot.
Shalun stared at the approaching Gamahiro, seeing him more like a living target with all its size. He immediately controlled the Scorching Iron Sand sending it towards the toad.
”Hiro, jump away away with me while I prepare the attack.”
Hearing Ryo's words, Gamahiro leaped over a 100 meters away from the two.
