The attack of Yūji was devastating, many guards ended up dying at the hands of the attack of the pink-haired boy, this same one with his blue eyes saw his surroundings, although he did not destroy the place, he did severely break several buildings that if not attended to will fall.
Yūji ignored the screams of pain, seeing himself tense at the only threat he had in front of him, Mui held his shoulder and part of his cheek, he does not know how he looks, but Yūji is watching him.
His skin is rotting, black lines appeared where his attack passed, Mui tensed his jaw, the pain is too much, but his face remains tense.
Poison? A very powerful, poisonous attack?
This time, his dead-colored greenish eyes became tenser.
Yūji felt as Suiren moved around his neck, staring fixedly at Mui in case he attacked.
Despite that pain and feeling uncomfortable, his fire sword was empowered, adding more of his chakra to it, he has to finish this.
There was a fairly long silence between them, but Yūji sharpened his eyes
" here he comes again "
As soon as he finished saying those few words, he lost sight of him again, his six eyes told him that he was already behind him, but despite knowing it, he again could not react, his face contracted in pain from a blow to his side.
Suiren, under the empowered blow with a small barrier, but just like Yūji, she, not knowing where he might appear, was slower, he did not manage to protect Yūji in time.
Yūji was thrown to one side, it was so strong that the long courtyard was crossed in just seconds, tumbling with every impact he made on the ground, in the end he ended up holding himself on the ground falling upright.
His eyes moved to his side, this time managing to avoid a terrible blow with that sword, he blocked it with his mutated arms, putting a lot of strength into staying up, his surprise was pleasant upon seeing that what for him is his best option in defense as well, that fire sword began to slowly penetrate.
Suiren, upon seeing the fiasco, summoned small drops of water infused with his cursed energy, and in that place began to shoot, the sound they make cutting through the air could be heard.
Mui tensed his face to move away again from that boy, having to face two is dangerous, if it were only that boy, there would be no problem, but that summoning is annoying. Being a few meters away, that is where he could perfectly evade the water drops, despite being water, one managed to hit him and penetrated cleanly where it passed, water drops that are like iron, it is dangerous.
Moving his sword with agility he tried to melt it, and it seems to work, Yūji saw again that it was approaching, he thought of another tactic, he needed to overwhelm him, he needs to do it and make him run out of chakra, it is his only method.
When he set out to do it, the boy moved his arms and claws diagonally.
' dismantle '
For Mui, his acute senses of life or death reactivated, his eyes widened to evade in the direction of the boy.
In his analysis, he saw how a thick line of depth was coming his way, something tore the concrete, but what was it ? He saw nothing of it, he did not see that he made seals, it is dangerous.
He looked again at the brat, analyzing his arms, it is as if he were throwing something, already ignoring a bit deliberately that summoning, he began to evade with fast movements whatever the boy threw.
The concrete was torn deeply, a jutsu possibly that is space-time? It is incredible to see how talented that boy is.
' seeing the way he moves his arms, it is dangerous, they are invisible gusts, it is not a wind jutsu since space is not distorted, it is as if he simply did not throw anything... I have to finish this, the castle is a terrible mess ' Mui kept dodging, seeing that the child did not lose sight of him, wherever he appeared, the child did not keep watching him ' those eyes... '
He stopped only for a second, his shoulder and part of his cheek where he was torn with the previous powerful attack, he felt worse and worse ' that poison he had, is working very fast, that brat... if it were not for his enormous chakra that I am detecting, I would not have been stubborn in trying to capture him '
Yūji saw how he moved, a drop fell from his temple, not from effort, but from worry, how much chakra does this guy have ? Why is he still so active ? Disassemble is not slow, if you do not have a fast reaction, this guy would already be split in two.
Suiren did not lag behind, despite launching basic water-style attacks, because of his cursed energy they are very powerful, Mui was being overwhelmed, but it only seems that he is analyzing both.
" damn it, this idiot " he is getting irritated, disassemble has not worked for him, he does not have another method than to move his hands to be able to activate this technique, it is the downside when they are already ninjas and not curses.
But Yūji stopped abruptly, his six active eyes began to hurt terribly, which halted his consecutive attacks, he had to hold his eyes tightly while emitting a grunt from his mouth, it is painful, very painful ! Suiren wanted to use RCT, but that pain did not end, it is becoming sharper and sharper.
' this hurts! w-what is happening!? ' he thought in pain, somewhat exasperated, in the eight years he has been at it, the six eyes have never reacted like this, his own RCT tried to heal them from whatever was happening, but it could not, on the contrary, the pain is becoming sharper and sharper ! As if millions of needles at every moment pressed and stabbed in his eye sockets.
" Yūji! " Suiren worried to see how the one he cared for reacted like this, his body trembling from this unending pain, so strong and sharp, very terrible that it did not seem to end, the watery curse looked between Yūji and that guy in front of him.
For Mui, he does not know what has happened, but he has taken it as a huge opportunity that he must not miss, his eyes widened ' now! '
Suiren saw how that guy came back with much more vigor, the curse made long water whips, hardened tips that only with cursed energy can cut, multiple whips of his body burst forth, he does not want him to get close to Yūji!
" get away! I will kill you! "
Mui did not remove his tense face, cutting the curse that launched those attacks into multiple pieces with his fire sword, moving agilely in multiple directions. Sometimes he has already cut him, his clothes are already torn because of that summoning, which is too strong.
And in the meantime he is approaching, with one hand he was making the key seals for his other jutsu, one very necessary to keep that brat below him.
' this, it does not end, keep going, just keep going, what is happening? Why is this happening to me at this moment? Why does it hurt so much? They are my eyes ! It should not hurt! ' thought Yūji trying to steady himself, when he removed his mutated hands from his eyes, they have not healed, now having them uncovered a horrible pain began that not even his reverse technique can remedy.
He saw everything blurry, very blurry, his entire body trembling not knowing what is happening.
But when he tries to see, that man is already in front of him, the heat of his fire sword was already in front of him.
He acted only on instinct, he was pierced by that sword in his abdomen, the pain made him let out a grunt, but his mutated arm did not stay behind, by inertia he threw his arm and pierced that man's body in his leg.
Mui did not expect that blow, but he did not give up " Fire Release: Celestial Prison! " his palm that did not have his fire sword, which has not been deactivated, struck directly his chest.
At the moment of doing it, he saw how that boy abruptly opened his eyes, as if he were stunned, his eyes are no longer blue.
Mui deactivated his sword at last, seeing how his entire abdominal area ended up charred, he panted in broken gasps, in the end that brat managed to drain most of his chakra, he is too powerful, he did not give him even a moment to breathe.
He stepped back a few steps seeing how that pink-haired boy fell to the ground, without stopping, he saw how on his chest those tattoos on his cause began to come out, from purple they turned to bright red.
Yūji besides his eyes, felt in his entire body as if something had blocked him, it is painful, very painful, he wants to use RCT to heal the wound in his abdomen, but he cannot.
Suiren, seeing that he could not do anything with that man because he was too attached to Yūji, remained still, but seeing that he moved away, his face is already worried " Yū-Yūji, calm down! I am here! Sui is with you! " Suiren fortunately used his RCT to heal Yūji, he can heal him, but he cannot provide him with more cursed energy.
Can he not? Why can he not?
Yūji fell to the ground feeling as if he were suffocating, his hands went to his neck in need of air, the pain in his chest like embers does not diminish.
Mui, barely holding on with one leg, watched as Yūji writhed on the ground without saying anything " I have placed my seal on you, with this seal you will not be able to use Chakra, if you do, you will feel as if you are suffocating and the seal will activate, burning you, if you move away from Hōzuki Castle, the only thing you will do is burn yourself from the inside out until it kills you, you have no way out, you should have thought before coming here... surely you are someone impulsive " Mui, despite being so wounded and with that concerning decay, appeared stoic again.
But something he wonders himself, why has his summoning not disappeared ? It is supposed that this time his chakra must be almost nil, impossible to release the most basic jutsu.
But because of his wounds, it was draining Yūji's chakra faster through the seal, feeling that finally his low reserves because of that brat were refilling.
But... this chakra feels strange, very strange, is this chakra?
He does not care, he saw the guards approaching him with concern, he just looked at them " take him to an area away from everyone, confined, watched day and night... take every precaution with him "
A guard looked scared by his appearance, it is the first time he sees the master of the castle in such a deplorable state " Sir Mui, you need a medical ninja urgently, you cannot be like this ! "
Mui only raised his hand gently " I know, call the best doctor we have in the castle, it is possible that I was poisoned during the fight "
Another guard, who was looking around, the courtyard where the prisoners were... no longer seemed a courtyard, everything was destroyed.
Mui glanced sideways at the brat, it seems that he has fainted from draining all his chakra, he wanted to weaken him, he does not want accidents.
But to his pleasant surprise in person, smoke appeared on the brat, which when it dissipated he almost ended up falling too.
Did he have a... transformation jutsu?
A boy?
Has he been fighting all this time with a small child?
" I cannot believe it, all this time he has been a child " a guard spoke softly, his eyes and body gestures only showing his surprise, none of the guards who watched the fight imagined that this boy could be on par with the master of the castle.
Suiren, seeing how they approached Yūji, grumbled angrily " no! Get away from Yūji! " seeing him fall unconscious only made her worry more, she had never seen Yūji fall exhausted, she wants to help him by giving him cursed energy, but something was making his energy be rejected, even bouncing behind!
A guard looked nervous, not wanting to approach that thing " Master Mui, what should we do? "
Mui was very tired, he sighed looking now at that red-haired boy on the ground, still unable to recover from his surprise at knowing that he was very close to his limit several times despite his serious appearance.
" this will be difficult... " he whispered to himself.
He began to move his hands quickly, despite doing it as fast as he could, he has made in total almost more than fifty-five hand seals.
Already feeling that his chakra, which he replenished with the boy's, was draining again noticeably, in his hand several fūinjutsu seals appeared that moved erratically, wanting to shoot wherever they were placed.
Mui began to approach Suiren, who the curse did not want to attack, he only wants to protect Yūji from those humans, his grim face began to swell, transforming itself into a dome just so that they would not touch Yūji. She thought that that man would once again use a fighting technique, similar to fire.
But for Mui, it was better that he was on defense and did not attack him, he no longer feels ready to dodge his blows, if he had not had so much combat experience, the resistance even to the chakra that has been draining from all the prisoners, to be honest, he would never have been able to handle both.
Suiren continued on the defensive, inside the dome the curse looked at Yūji with concern " Yūji, wake up, wake up, let's go, I do not want that anymore, let's go, no " whispered the curse, but Yūji did not seem like he would wake up.
Mui, upon reaching that very unique summoning, touched its surface, before it could attack him, finally released the jutsu " jutsu prison of a thousand seals " at the moment of saying it, those symbols of fūinjutsu shot out from his hand that were barely contained.
Another familiar technique inherited besides those he used on the prisoners and the fire sword.
Suiren began to scream in pain, if it were chakra it would not matter, but this technique managed to contain both energies! The fūinjutsu seals trapped Suiren in a tiny sphere, barely allowing a miserable drop of water to be seen.
Seeing this, Mui fell to his knees being supported by one of the guards, letting out a forced breath
" Master Mui! " another man approached the castle master, Mui only squinted his eyes to appreciate that boy, then he saw the small sphere of wild seals, never stopping moving.
It is dangerous to leave this summoning loose, he stored it in his uniform to repeat what he said before " take this... boy, to the containment room " just because he is a boy does not mean he is free of blame, on the contrary.
He has proven to be a threat.
