29. YOLO!
29. YOLO!
As Tomoka’s fist slammed into the Kumo-nin’s torso all the electricity coursing through her body was discharged into her opponent's body. At the moment tomoka was in insane amounts of pain as her body had been burned from the inside out thanks to her own technique. However, she knew it wasn’t over yet.
To be expected, the Kumo-nin survived her attack by using the substitution jutsu. She realized this as soon as it happened thanks to her kinegan. She saw how her opponent's chakra suddenly dropped drastically just before her attack connected.
Looking around she saw the enemy ninja standing ten meters away from her weaving hand signs. The sack he had been carrying lay next to him.
“Earth release: Rock bullets”
The next instant a flurry of rocks were launched towards Tomoka who was still under the backlash of her jutsu. Her body was numb, her nerves unable to garner any response from her muscles. She knew this would happen. This state would last for at least two to three seconds after using her incomplete lightning rush.
Not seeing any other way. Tomoka made multiple chakra wires inside her own muscles using them to move her body like a puppet. The result was barely acceptable. Multiple rocks impacted her limbs as she had used them to protect her torso and head.
The important thing is that she was still alive albeit very injured. Not seeing any other option she opted to use another incomplete jutsu of her’s. One she would rather not use at all. Unlike the last one that was in a barely usable state. This one is a complete wild card.
Each time she had attempted to use the jutsu she had felt a weird interference. Every time she had canceled the jutsu before it could go out of control. The amount of chakra it used was at least ten times higher than her Lightning rush. If she messed up she would become fried.
“AH FUCK IT! YOLO!”
Screaming that atop her lungs Tomoka weaved the hand signs as fast as she could. This technique used a total of a hundred hand signs. The worst part was that the hand signs needed to be completed in two seconds or less.
[Oi! You can't seriously be thinking of using that! You said it yourself! If you fail you will die for sure!]
‘I know! but I am too high on the adrenalin to care!’
“Lightning release: Static field”
Again she felt the strange interference but she couldn’t stop now. If she tried to stop the jutsu now she would be giving her opponent the perfect window to kill her. Not to mention, what is the worst that could happen? She had survived certain death once, doing so for a second time was no biggy.
The instant the jutsu took effect her hair stood up as a ten meter sphere around her was charged with insane amounts of static. Now the only thing tomoka needed to do was put the final touches in the technique.
With a pulse of her chakra Tomoka released the static surrounding her. The result was a wide net of electricity flying in all directions. However, she didn’t want to cause any collateral damage. For this reason she controlled whatever electricity she could, guiding it towards her foe.
Her blue lightning coursed all around her as it was being directed. However, Tomoka, who stood in the middle of all that electricity, was having a really bad time. She could feel how her flesh burned. She was sure she would be hospitalized for a long time after this.
However, at that moment she felt something inside her break. Not something in her body but more like inside her soul. A connection she didn’t know existed inside her was forcefully torn open. From within a powerful energy she felt familiar and yet foreign came rushing towards her.
She felt how the energy ate at the lightning that coursed and destroyed her body. To make matters even stranger she felt how the energy fixed the damage that had been done. Not only that but it also empowered her.
Right now she could see her lightning moving towards the kumo-nin in slow motion. It was a surreal experience. Lost in the sensation, Tomoka moved. With a light gate she stepped forward, red lightning following her as she did so.
Concentrating all of her static field jutsu around her as she walked. A moment later she stood in front of her opponent. Everything felt surreal, like a strange dream. Disregarding the feeling, Tomoka pushed her palm forward. Red and blue lightning rushed through her arm entering the poor enemy ninja.
The effect was instant, the discharge of electricity cause a vapor explosion in the ninja’s torso blasting him away. Tomoka saw in slow motion how the kumo-nin flew away with a gaping hole in his stomach. However, that didn’t last long.
Time seemed to slowly but surely speed up once more around Tomoka as a heavy feeling of exhaustion settled upon her. The dream-like state faded as her senses came back. Tomoka instantly realized what the problem was.
“Out of chakra huh” That's all she could say before blacking out.
