Earth-Style Cursed Seal, State Two

Kimimaro and Hidan, caught in the middle of the battle, were unaware of S.H.I.E.L.D..'s plans, nor did they expect that Nick Fury would have the idea of wiping them out before the battle was even over.

At this moment, Kimimaro no longer held back and directly raised himself to the Cursed Seal Level 2.

Kimimaro also underwent a transformation, his body turning into a monster resembling a stegosaurus, with hard, enormous bone spikes growing from his back and a tail covered in barbs.

Seeing Kimimaro's change, Hidan smiled, "The Cursed Seal of Kuuchin?"

"As expected of that guy, the increase in strength is truly remarkable."

At this moment, Kimimaro's aura had already reached the strength of the initial Kage Level. Without the Kekkei Genkai Disease, he could perfectly unleash the power of his State Two. The only pity was that he could not pull out his spine to use the Clematis.

"The third round of the competition has officially begun!"

Kimimaro charged at Hidan, having replaced his bone sword with a spear made of the hardened bone, known as the Spear of the Strongest.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The sounds of their clash echoed continuously, shaking the rubble on the ground and creating ripples on the sea outside the barrier.

Kimimaro's attacks were all deflected by Hidan, and Hidan's initial ease was gone.

"The Shikotsumyaku - Dance of the Seedling Fern"

The next moment, sharpened bones began to grow from the ground and attacked Hidan. The number of bones that grew was so great that they basically covered the entire barrier ground, resembling a forest of white bones. Meanwhile, the road beneath his feet completely collapsed and shattered under Kimimaro's attack.

Hidan was pierced by the suddenly growing bone. He swung his Triple-Bladed Scythe forward, shattering some of the bone spikes, but the newly grown bone spikes covered them again, enveloping him in bone spikes.

At this moment, Kimimaro leaped into the sky and slammed his Spear of the Strongest down heavily on Hidan, shattering the ground and bone spikes together.

"Boom!"

After a tremendous roar, the bone spikes disappeared, as did the road connecting S.H.I.E.L.D.. to the outside world. Kimimaro landed, panting heavily, his feet on the sea surface.

At this moment, Hidan lay motionless on the sea surface, his clothes tattered, with a large hole punched in his stomach by Kimimaro's Spear of the Strongest.

Coulson, sitting in the office, wore a relaxed expression. "Kimimaro won!"

Nick Fury nodded. "That's terrifying strength; the destructive power of that body is immense."

"Get ready to collect our spoils!"

As soon as Nick Fury finished giving his orders, a ladder was lowered from the S.H.I.E.L.D.. helicopter, and a speedboat was also dispatched.

They were preparing to receive Hidan's body.

However, Kimimaro did not relax at all. How could a corpse without Chakra float on the sea? Moreover, Hidan's abdominal wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just over ten seconds, Hidan's abdominal wound was completely healed. Possessing Undying Body, he was completely unconcerned about the attack he had just suffered.

At this moment, S.H.I.E.L.D.. agents had surrounded the barrier, waiting for it to open.

"Shikotsumyaku - Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets!"

Kimimaro shot out ten finger bones like bullets, but Hidan, lying on the ground, twisted his body to dodge them.

"What a boring guy, he doesn't even let Hidan- sama take a break."

Hidan, however, was wondering why Suzaku hadn't shown up yet. Then, with a somersault, he stood up from the sea, holding the Triple-Bladed Scythe and pointing it at Kimimaro.

Seeing Hidan become energetic again, the S.H.I.E.L.D.. agents exchanged glances, then silently retreated into the distance.

Inside the office, Coulson exclaimed incredulously, "How is this all okay?"

"It seems that the ninjas' resilience and recovery abilities exceed our expectations."

As the S.H.I.E.L.D.. agents retreated, a person suddenly left on the sea surface caught everyone's attention, dressed exactly like a field agent.

At that moment, an agent on a speedboat shouted to the people in front, "Retreat immediately!"

"Captain, he's not one of ours, he's standing on the sea."

"What, standing on the sea?"

"Since we've been discovered, there's no need to hide anymore."

"Bang!"

As the smoke dissipated, the field agent standing on the sea transformed into a man wearing a straw hat and Black Cloak with Red Clouds.

The newcomer was none other than Itachi Uchiha of Akatsuki's Vermilion Bird's Suzaku.

Itachi Uchiha's appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention. The Sound Four, who were responsible for supporting the barrier, Kimimaro and Hidan, who were Civil War the barrier, also looked over.

"Hidan, the leader has given us a new mission. How long are you going to dawdle?"

As Itachi Uchiha's voice came through, Hidan turned his head and said, "Suzaku, please call me Santai!"

"And didn't you see I'm trapped inside the barrier? Hurry up and help me!"

Upon seeing the unexpected arrival of Itachi Uchiha in the office, Nick Fury's expression turned grim.

"Same attire, could it be that these missing-nin have an organization?"

"Wait, leader... they really are in cahoots."

Just as Nick Fury was analyzing the situation, Itachi Uchiha looked at the Four Violet Flames Formation in front of him, and the next second his Mangekyō Sharingan was activated.

"Amaterasu!"

The black, indestructible flames ignited directly on the barrier of the Four Violet Flames Formation, quickly burning a large hole in the barrier.

After releasing Amaterasu, Itachi Uchiha instinctively reached out and covered his right eye, only to find that there were no bloody tears or pain as expected. He then lowered his hand and looked at Kimimaro in the formation.

Upon seeing Itachi Uchiha's gaze, Kimimaro immediately lowered his head and shifted his gaze elsewhere, avoiding Itachi Uchiha's eyes.

Looking at the Four Violet Flames Formation that had been burned through, Hidan laughed and said, "Haha, little guys from the Otogakure, I, Hidan, have something to attend to and won't be playing with you anymore."

Hidan turned and ran quickly towards the damaged barrier, appearing outside it the next second.

Seeing Hidan break through the barrier, the Sound Four exchanged glances and ended the Four Violet Flames Formation. As the Formation was canceled, the burning black flames lost their target and dissipated. Then, the four of them flashed and appeared beside Kimimaro.

"Suzaku, what are your orders, Chief?"

Itachi Uchiha glanced around, but paid no attention to the Sound Five, not even glancing at them.

"This isn't the place to talk, let's go!"

"Good!"

Hidan slung the Triple-Bladed Scythe over his shoulder and prepared to leave with Itachi Uchiha. Clearly, the leader's affairs were more important, and this game of revenge and exhibition match was over.
