Coincidentally, Naruto asked Kakashi the same question while Chiba was being bombarded by the dense Crystal Release technique.

When faced with Naruto's question, Kakashi was initially surprised, seemingly pleased that Naruto was starting to use his brain, before giving his answer.

"Because this Crystal Release technique is very special!"

"The so-called Crystal Escape seems to be an escape technique that crystallizes matter."

Kakashi, his Sharingan open, looked at the arena: "Don't be fooled by the impressive appearance of these crystals. Before they became crystals, they were just tiny dust particles in the air."

"Therefore, unlike Earth Release and Water Release, which require the use of actual water and soil, Crystal Release is somewhat like turning waste into treasure and is inexpensive."

"The reason it doesn't need to mobilize so much physical matter is that it consumes less chakra!"

"It seems that the opponent's biggest drain is still from that spell that makes crystals emerge from the ground, because that comes from the earth."

"Is that so?" Naruto suddenly realized.

Hearing Kakashi's words, Kurenai Yuhi sighed, "I have to say, kids these days are really scary!"

"With such a stealth technique, I'm afraid I won't fare well against it! I can only keep dodging like Qianyu!"

At the same time, Asuma chimed in: "Hey, Kakashi, why don't you consider stopping the fight!"

"You saw the situation with Kai's disciple. This Crystal Release technique can crystallize minute substances, so it's probably possible for humans as well."

"She's using Senior White Fang's swordsmanship, isn't she!"

"Hmm!" Kakashi frowned upon hearing Asuma's words.

Asuma's meaning was very clear: Guy's Eight Gates technique was passed down through a single line of disciples, and now that he had finally found a suitable one, it was about to be ruined.

His White Fang Knife Technique is similar, but he doesn't use it himself. He finally found a relative to pass it on to, and now that the person is gone, it's gone too.

Therefore, if we consider this rationally, it's better to decisively stop a battle that could harm the successor!

Furthermore, one advantage he has over Kai is that Qianyu's personality isn't as stubborn as Xiao Li's; she wouldn't say anything if someone intervened.

Therefore, Kakashi was somewhat tempted.

But should he really get involved? Kakashi hesitated.

"Let me take another look!" Kakashi said, but his body tensed up.

"Alright!" Asuma nodded, said nothing more, and continued to watch the battle, but was also prepared to intervene.

Upon seeing this, Qianyu stopped in her tracks.

"The Jonin want to interfere, but I can't give them that chance!"

Seeing Qianyu stop, Honglian, who had already filled nearly half of the space with crystals, also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why did you stop? Are you surrendering?"

"Surrender? Damn it!" Qianyu shook her head: "I'm just getting serious now."

"Huh?" Honglian was clearly quite surprised to hear Qianyu's words.

But what followed astonishment was anger.

"Are you underestimating me, you bastard!"

Honglian believed she had given it her all and now had the absolute advantage, while Qianyu was merely struggling to escape.

Even if Chiyu is fast, it won't be difficult to take it down once the field is full.

But to my surprise, Qianyu was still saying that she hadn't used her full strength!

"Then let me see your full strength!"

"Crystal Release: Shuriken Barrage!"

Honglian clasped her hands together, then opened them. The hexagonal crystal shuriken, smaller than the giant hexagonal crystal shuriken but larger than the crystal shuriken itself, wrapped around her body like a thousand cherry blossom petals, forming a circle.

Then Honglian leaped high into the sky, curling up her body and spreading out her limbs!

In an instant, a large number of hexagonal crystal shurikens rained down, covering the entire area.

At the same time, Qianyu's body was also covered by the white light of Swift Escape.

In mid-air, the hexagonal crystal shuriken that was shooting at Qianyu at extremely high speed suddenly slowed down, and the sounds coming from the surrounding area became longer and distorted!

Then Chiyu felt an extremely strong gaze.

She looked towards the stands.

It's Kakashi.

Seeing Chiba display the legendary form of White Fang, Kakashi was utterly shocked, his pupils dilating in disbelief.

So Chiyu made a gesture of pressing down with both hands, indicating to Kakashi not to make such a fuss.

Then Qianyu refocused her attention on the field and started walking.

The next second, everyone saw a striking white figure weave and twist, quickly advancing along the gaps left by the Red Lotus Crystal Escape. The Red Lotus's all-encompassing shuriken dance couldn't keep up with Qian Yu's pace at all!

An unprecedented sense of crisis arose in Honglian's heart!

She finally understood what Qianyu meant by "going all out".

The speed she displayed earlier was far from her limit!

Given Chiyu's speed, her opponent might already be waiting for her below before she even landed. This decision to leap up and unleash a ninjutsu was a complete failure.

But does that mean she has to admit defeat?

"How is that possible!"

Honglian clasped her hands together, and a crystal flew down to her feet.

"Crystal Release: Emerald Prison Technique - Modified!"

"Rumble, rumble—"

The red crystals are growing upwards!

Before Qianyu arrived, Honglian sealed herself inside!

At the same time, the red lotus inside the crystal quickly formed hand seals and gathered power.

It's obvious that she's planning to do what Gaara did: use defense to build up a powerful attack and seize the initiative in one fell swoop.

Seeing this, Qianyu thought to herself, "So, Li and I are facing the same type of Stand!"

But it's alright, since she chose Swift Escape in the first place precisely to counter defenses like Crimson Lotus's.

"Give it a try!" Qianyu's body lit up with the white light of Swift Escape once again.

Surrounding the Crimson Lotus with her Crystal Escape defense, she wielded the Sun and Moon within the gourd.

"Secret Sword - One Slash, a Thousand Strikes!"

The next second, the sun and moon in the pot transformed into countless forms, densely striking the crystal prison where the red lotus was located, and an ominous frequency appeared.

Then, under the high-speed, continuous vibration, Honglian was horrified to discover that the crystal she had always thought was indestructible had cracks from someone else for the first time!

And in just a second or two, the crack spread throughout the entire Emerald Crystal Prison!

In this situation, even if the power is not fully charged, there's nothing that can be done!

The moment the Emerald Crystal Prison shattered, Crimson Lotus, who continued to fall from the sky, flipped her wrist: "Crystal Release: Crystal-Breaking Dragon Subduing Technique!"

The pink crystal that had just shattered into pieces then solidified again, eventually forming a pink dragon that bit down at Qianyu from the air!

The problem is that the complete Breaking Crystal Dragon Subduing is composed of three divine dragons, because the three dragons can surround each other, and can even attack or defend at the same time.

She only has one option: offense is possible, but what about defense?

Qianyu completely ignored the dragon charging at her, threw out the Sun and Moon in the Pot, and had her clone de-transform and put up a little resistance. She herself stirred up a whirlwind and unleashed a series of Gale Palms, rushing straight at the red lotus in the air.

At this moment, Honglian tried to use the same trick again, using the crystal shield she had used before to block Qianyu.

But it was too late!

Before she could even close her hands, Qianyu, who was flying towards her, grabbed her wrist!

Then, the strongman shattered the skull, subdued the enemy's power, intentionally... or not intentionally.

Because Guren was already a fragile ninja, after being pulled over by Chiyu and punched twice, she immediately fell into a deep sleep like a baby!
