The Eight-Year-Old Me Became Hokage-Chapter 137: Kazekaze’s Strategy

"???"

Hōzuki Gengetsu was utterly bewildered because he clearly heard Kazekaze analyze the principles of his Steaming Danger Tyranny technique without missing a single detail. Anyone unaware might think that Kazekaze had developed this technique himself.

"This kid, he's only seven, right?" Hōzuki Gengetsu patted his ears, seriously doubting if he was experiencing some kind of hallucination. Otherwise, how could a seven-year-old kid analyze the Steaming Danger Tyranny technique? Even Mu, the man he most respected, hadn't figured out his technique this quickly.

In comparison, Hōzuki Gengetsu once again felt that the man he respected was simply useless! And he had seen him as gold! He himself was also useless! Yes, seeing Kazekaze's displayed talent, Hōzuki Gengetsu suddenly had a strong feeling of being useless. He not only inherited the vast Chakra reserves of the First Hokage but also perfectly inherited his Wood Release and the unique sensory abilities of the Uzumaki clan. Just these abilities alone were enough for Kazekaze to be seen as a monster. And yet, his intellect was even more astonishing! Such powerful analytical skills far surpassed any ninja Hōzuki Gengetsu had ever seen. He was simply a child of destiny, the prophesied one. Otherwise, how could one explain the things Kazekaze had shown?

Hōzuki Gengetsu's heart was greatly shaken. He never dreamed that on this assassination mission, he would encounter such a terrifying, outrageous, and incomprehensible monster! The most exaggerated part is... No matter how you look at it, this kid Kazekaze is only six or seven! It might even be Kazekaze's first time in actual combat.

Meanwhile, Hiruzen and the others were also intently watching Kazekaze, unable to imagine how his mind worked. Compared to him, they felt like idiots.

"However..." Uchiha Kagami took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his shock. Although Kazekaze had analyzed the principles of the Steaming Danger Tyranny technique, they still couldn't figure out how to stop it. They still couldn't come up with a solution. As long as the Hōzuki clone made any move, the oil on him would heat up, causing the internal water to boil. At the same time, his speed was incredibly fast. Trying to restrict his movements was basically impossible.

"Yes, although Kazekaze's analysis is good, the problem still isn't solved..." Sarutobi Hiruzen was quite troubled. He had just thought of a method, which was to use the Adamantine Staff transformed by Enma to create a cage and trap the Hōzuki clone. But according to Kazekaze's analysis, even if they trapped him in the cage, he could still explode. After turning into steam, escaping from the cage would be a piece of cake. Another method would be a sealing technique. However, unfortunately, in this ninja unit, there wasn't a single ninja who knew sealing techniques.

"Kagami, can't you use your genjutsu?" Danzo thought for a moment and said. Kagami shook his head without hesitation. The opponent was just a clone. It didn't even have eyes. How could it be affected by his genjutsu?

However, while everyone was troubled and unsure how to deal with the Hōzuki clone, Kazekaze's lips curled into a slight smile. As if he didn't see Hōzuki Gengetsu's Steaming Danger Tyranny as an unsolvable problem at all.

"Actually, I've already cracked this technique." Kazekaze said casually. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Gaara once fought against Hōzuki Gengetsu. And that battle was one of Gaara's few highlight moments. He used the gold dust left by Rasa to envelop the Hōzuki clone, relying on the heat-conducting properties of gold to stop his Steaming Danger Tyranny. Successfully sealing the reanimated Hōzuki Gengetsu. He was seen as gold by this Second Mizukage!

Although Kazekaze didn't know Magnet Release and couldn't control gold dust, however, Gaara's battle provided him with the most crucial idea. And that is... Cooling down! As long as the surface temperature of the Hōzuki clone is lowered, the internal water can't heat up, and naturally, no steam will be produced. Without enough steam, it can't explode.

In the recent battle, Kazekaze seemed to have only used Wood Release to confront the Hōzuki clone and prevent his explosion from harming the Daimyo. But in reality, when he saw the Steaming Danger Tyranny technique being activated, he had already started planning. Now! It's time to end all of this!

Boom! As Kazekaze finished speaking, the ground at the Hōzuki clone's feet suddenly cracked, and a shadow shot out from the gap. Taking advantage of the interval needed for the Steaming Danger Tyranny to cool down, a rising uppercut was aimed straight at the Hōzuki clone's chin. In an instant, the Hōzuki clone instinctively counterattacked, slashing down on the shadow's shoulder. It was another Kazekaze!

However, this Kazekaze was actually his Wood Release clone! When Kazekaze used the Wood Human Technique, he created a Wood Release clone and hid it underground. Now, as the Hōzuki clone was cooling down, he happened to be standing right above this clone. Of course, this was also part of Kazekaze's plan.

Whoosh! The Hōzuki clone destroyed Kazekaze's Wood Release clone with one hit, but also activated the clone's features. It quickly grew, turning into wood and binding the Hōzuki clone's arms.

"It's useless," Hōzuki Gengetsu, hiding in the shadows, said in a low voice after seeing this scene, "Even if you can catch the clone, you can't stop it from exploding. As long as the Steaming Danger Tyranny keeps exploding, your bindings are meaningless."

However, just as Hōzuki Gengetsu assumed Kazekaze was merely stalling for time, the puddle at the Hōzuki clone's feet suddenly rose, transforming into another Kazekaze at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was... The Water Clone Technique! He quickly formed hand seals, performing a Water Release jutsu.

Water Release: Water Prison Technique! More water surged from beneath Kazekaze's water clone, surrounding the Hōzuki clone and enveloping it instantly. Then, Kazekaze's water clone unhesitatingly extended its arm inside, completing the final step of the Water Prison Technique. Capture successful!

"With this, Hōzuki Gengetsu's Steaming Danger Tyranny is nullified." Kazekaze stared at the captured Hōzuki clone, then closed his eyes and activated the Kagura Mind's Eye. He could clearly sense everything within a five-kilometer radius.

"After using the Steaming Danger Tyranny, Hōzuki Gengetsu's body becomes weak, and in that state, he... It's impossible for him to escape the five-kilometer range in such a short time." Soon, Kazekaze's Kagura Mind's Eye locked onto Hōzuki Gengetsu's location.

"Found him!" Kazekaze suddenly opened his eyes, confirming that Hōzuki Gengetsu was hiding behind a wall.
