Battle

Kimimaro, who had been sent flying, stood up expressionlessly, looked down at his body, and said in an icy voice, "Is this what it feels like to be healthy?"

Kimimaro stretched his body, and the three-leaf windmill-shaped Earth Cursed Seal on his chest began to turn red, then transformed into black lines that crawled all over his body.

Seeing Kimimaro's change, Hidan frowned slightly. "Has this aura indicated that his strength has increased again?"

"Her strength surpasses that of Elite Jonin; no wonder she's from the Kaguya Clan, who awakened the Shikotsumyaku."

At the same time, his respect for Kimimaro increased even more. As expected of the child chosen by Lord Charlotte, he actually possessed such strength.

"Round Two, Begin!"

Kimimaro, now wielding a bone sword, was three times faster than before, arriving in front of Hidan in the blink of an eye, and slashing at him with Hidan bone sword.

"Don't Hidan!"

Hidan no longer held back, and except for his ability to sacrifice himself to the Jashin, he fully unleashed his Kage Level strength.

"The Execution by Cutting!"

Hidan swung his Triple-Bladed Scythe, spinning it as he slashed at Kimimaro, the scythe clashing violently with the bone sword.

Wow! Ha!

Hidan attacked while letting out excited shouts.

Nick Fury looked at the screen in front of him, his brows furrowing again. He couldn't see anything clearly anymore.

As the two accelerated again, the footage captured by the surveillance camera turned into a white light and a red light intertwining, and the sparks from their collision became a point of light in the image.

"Turn the video playback speed up to the maximum for me!"

"Sir, that would cause a serious delay."

"Even with a delay, we should still make sure we can see the footage of their battle clearly."

"Yes, sir!"

The video footage slowed down again, and the two figures, who had quickly turned into specks of light, became visible to the naked eye, and the battle was captured and played back.

As the two fought fiercely, the road beneath their feet, once wide enough for tanks to travel on, had become riddled with potholes, as if it might collapse and fall into the sea at any moment.

"Shikotsumyaku: Dance of the Larch!"

Kimimaro used the Shikotsumyaku Kekkei Genkai to grow dozens of bones on his body, making them so hard that they were impervious to ordinary blows. Even if Rock Lee kicked him with a gate, he couldn't break through the defense.

However, Hidan, unleashing his full power, was no pushover. Facing Kimimaro's porcupine-like defenses, he directly swung his Triple-Bladed Scythe and started spinning it like a windmill.

"Hmm! Hah!"

The spinning Triple-Bladed Scythe struck Kimimaro's body. Although the bone spikes tried to block it, they still hit him, but instead of leaving him bloodied and mangled, the impact was similar to that of striking bone.

Hidan retracted his Triple-Bladed Scythe, looked at Kimimaro, and asked, "Is your entire body covered in a layer of bone membrane?"

"In that case, let Hidan shatter your bones!"

With a loud shout from Hidan, the aura of Kage Level powerhouse was fully unleashed, and black and white markings that only appear when performing a ritual to Jashin appeared on his body.

Under the terrifying aura, the ground cracked even faster, and an invisible gale rose within the barrier.

The Sound Four, struggling to maintain the barrier, frowned and said, "Is this the true strength of Kage Level ninja?"

"Absolutely terrifying!"

"Feilian!"

Hidan his Triple-Bladed Scythe at Kimimaro in front of him, and the scythe spun and flew over, directly slicing through Kimimaro's body.

Kimimaro braced his arms in front of him, using the bone spurs on his body to block the Flying Scythe's cuts. Under the enormous impact, his body was repeatedly knocked backward, and his legs even pounded a ditch into the road beneath his feet.

The spinning Flying Scythe wasn't pulled back by Hidan; instead, it pulled Hido to Kimimaro's front in an instant.

"Break!"

Hidan grabbed the scythe and unleashed a powerful slash.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

"Snap!"

As Kimimaro tried to defend himself, the bone spikes on his body finally gave way and broke apart under Hidan's slash.

Without the bone spikes to block it, the sharp blade on the Triple-Bladed Scythe pierced directly into Kimimaro's shoulder, piercing through the bone mold and leaving a wound.

Kimimaro swung his bone sword and struck Hidan's Triple-Bladed Scythe directly, knocking the scythe off his shoulder.

As the Triple-Bladed Scythe departed, the wound on Hidan's shoulder healed instantly, visible to the naked eye. In less than a breath, the injury Hidan had left was completely healed, and his skin was smooth and new, looking as if he had never been injured.

Triple-Bladed Scythe Hidan and held it in his hand. Looking at the bloodstains on it, Hidan licked his lips, suppressing the urge to lick the blood off it.

He knew he was there for a practice match, not to actually kill Kimimaro.

Nick Fury looked at the two who had stopped, stroked his chin, and said, "Coulson, do you think the Sound Ninja Team can take down Hidan?"

"With this barrier in place, although it prevents them from escaping, our people can't offer any real help. We can only wait and see what happens to them."

Coulson shook his head. "Sir, I don't know."

"But so far, it seems neither side has been injured."

"If they both suffer heavy losses, and we launch all the missiles in the base, as well as the shells from the planes and tanks, could we at least leave Hidan and his men alive?"

However, Nick Fury planned that once he had the chance, he wouldn't just want to keep Hidan, but he also wanted to take down the Sound Ninja Team.

Hearing the Director's words, Coulson showed no surprise, but instead analyzed the pros and cons. "Perhaps we can fire a large number of tranquilizer darts along with it."

"As long as they breathe, their resistance will decrease."

"However, Hidan is a missing-nin, so it shouldn't be surprising if we capture him. But the people of Otogakure won't let this go easily; they'll come looking for trouble."

"After all, to become a ninja village, the number of ninjas must be quite substantial."

Nick Fury calmly replied, "They were killed by Hidan, missing-nin from the Yugakure, during a mission. What does that have to do with S.H.I.E.L.D.."

"We buried their sparks in a very humanitarian way, so the trouble won't come our way. We'll double the agreed-upon mission reward as compensation and give it to the people of Otogakure."

Listening to his Director's plan, Coulson nodded. "We'll have the agents below prepare to replace the Negasonic Teenage Warhead."

"Prepare in advance."

"However, this is on the condition that they both suffer heavy losses. If the casualties in the Otogakure are not severe, we can proceed with the normal handover!"

"We at S.H.I.E.L.D.. are very trustworthy!"
