Water Release: Starch Syrup Capturing Field

“Ki-Kiiro……! Shit, Raiton: Electric Shock Needles!”

Despite having his brother on his mind, there was a momentary gap between Kisame releasing his jutsu, and Kodaka’s uses that jutsu’s problem.

The glowing grains of light leapt towards Kisame, becoming thin needles at once.

This time it was Itachi who performed hand seals, bringing chakra from his belly to his cheeks.

“Suiton: Starch Syrup Capturing Field!” *

He kneaded a large amount of chakra into water and let it stick like starch syrup, as the name suggested, to Kodaka’s Raiton.

Kodaka’s lightning stroke, which had poor capacity to kill, ran out of chakra before passing through Itachi’s Starch Syrup Capturing Field.

Itachi’s Suiton fell to the ground with its stickiness maintained. The poison bees captured amongst it were unable to move.

“My….my bees….”

As the jutsu broke, Kodaka’s face was pale.

“Your younger brother’s Angry Bitter Rain is a trap to take away vision. Your Raiton, so to speak, is an attack with poisonous bees, wearing your chakra and moving at the same speed as your Raiton. This causes your opponent to have an allergic reaction to the bee’s poisonous antibodies. First of all, this  is the First One.

Itachi explained the mystery of the bees captured in his Suiton.

“But your opponent thinks the cause of the poisoning is the Angry Bitter Rain. Even if you assume it’s not the Angry Bitter Rain, the next thing to doubt is the Raiton jutsu. As a result, they’re not aware of the existence of the poisonous bees, and are pierced by the Second One, causing shock symptoms and dead...am I wrong?” *

The poisonous bees twitched, gradually losing their power. With his jutsu discovered, Kodaka strengthened his expression.

“Speaking of which Itachi-san, I thought you used Katon, but wasn’t that Suiton?”

“There was a person in Konoha who used this technique, which is essentially sprinkling the ground and stopping the enemy, but is perfect for capturing insects.”

Using insightfulness to calmly analyse information. That was another of Itachi’s strengths.

Itachi’s eyes also saw through Kodaka’s jutsu from their original scene.
