The Strongest Lightning Release! Kirin!
The four men from Jirobo remained silent.
In fact, the Sound Ninja were originally a group of five, but Kimimaro was removed from the group due to illness.
Jirobo worked with Kimimaro for a considerable period of time.
Therefore, they were well aware of Kimimaro's strength.
He could easily take on the other four by himself.
His unique Kekkei Genkai is what he is proud of.
But that doesn't mean he can compete with that Red-Haired Kid!
Kidomaru said, "He probably doesn't even know who he's facing."
"Kimimaro has been bedridden ever since his last attack, so he probably hasn't heard of this Red-Haired Kid's exploits yet," Jirobo said.
"What do we do now? We have to find a way to get Sasuke out of here no matter what," Tayuya said anxiously.
"Our arms have been severed, and our bodies are bound by Wood Release, so we can't help," Sakon said.
"Sigh~" The four of them sighed.
It seems there's no hope for Lord Orochimaru's New Body.
Shinki turned around and looked at Kimimaro with great interest.
He could sense that the Chakra emanating from this person was quite unique.
"Step back and hand over what Lord Orochimaru wants, and I might consider sparing your lives."
Kimimaro stared coldly at Shinki, raising the Bone Blade he held in his right hand.
Everyone present adopted a strange expression.
◝₍ᴑ̑ДO͝₎◞
How dare he?!
How many lives does he have to kill?
Just then...
Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a light drizzle began to fall.
Sensing something, Shinki turned to look at Sasuke's position.
"Hey, Sasuke."
At this moment, Sasuke was still thinking about how to escape.
He's already done it; if he's caught and brought back to the village, he'll go to jail.
Sasuke turned around and looked at where Shinki was. "What?"
"Let me show you my new Ninjutsu," Shinki said with a grin.
After saying that, he quickly formed hand seals.
The next moment, Shinki's hands were covered in blue-purple lightning.
Kimimaro his lip in disdain and said, "It's just Lightning Release, what's there to be so smug about?"
Immediately afterwards!
"Swish!"
Countless bone spurs grew from Kimimaro's body!
"The Dance of the Camellia!"
Kimimaro shouted and accelerated towards the Shinki!
Shinki raised his hand and summoned lightning from the rain clouds in the sky using the power of Lightning Release!
"Whoosh!"
The electric sparks from Shinki's hand shot thousands of meters into the sky!
Then, things changed in the clouds!
A dense network of electric currents appeared, guided by the Shinki!
"Kirin!!"
Shinki said softly.
"Boom--!"
The lightning in the sky wove together to form the shape of a ferocious beast!
With a gentle movement of the hand that guided the lightning from the Shinki, the thunder beast swooped down!
Everyone was stunned and dumbfounded by this strange celestial phenomenon.
"That's amazing."
Shikamaru said, stunned.
"To think that he could use his own Lightning Release to guide the lightning in the sky, Shinki is truly a genius!" Neji said.
"This is more powerful than any Lightning Release Ninjutsu I've ever seen or heard of!"
The image of the Kirin divine beast, woven from lightning, was reflected in the pupils of his teeth, and he said with certainty.
"Boom--!"
Thunder Beast descends!
A huge crater appeared at the center of the impact!
In an instant, electric snakes danced wildly!!
Even Shikamaru and the others, who were far from where the lightning struck, were affected, experiencing numbness throughout their bodies and their hair standing on end...
Sasuke nearby, stared in disbelief.
∑(✘Д✘๑)
What is Shinki trying to do?
Is he deliberately showing off his strength?
Or is it that if I keep running, the lightning will strike me?!
After the lightning dissipated, the Shinki looked at Kimimaro in the giant pit.
At this moment, Kimimaro's entire body was covered in bone spurs.
The important thing is that the bone spur was still slowly wriggling!
"To survive such lightning strikes, that's terrifying defensive power," Shinki exclaimed in amazement.
"I said I would help Lord Orochimaru achieve his ambitions, and I will absolutely not die until then."
From the black pit cleaved by the Kirin, Kimimaro's slightly weak voice could be heard.
"You can manipulate bones? Is that a special kind of Ninjutsu?" Shinki asked curiously.
From the opponent's initial Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets, to the protruding bone spurs, to that strangely shaped bone sword.
All of this person's abilities seem to be related to bones.
Kimimaro made no attempt to conceal anything, explaining, "That's my Kekkei Genkai, Shikotsumyaku."
"I can manipulate osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and calcium concentration in the human body, which can cause bone to form, break down, or remain hardened."
"With this ability, my bones are practically the hardest substance in the world!"
"It is the strongest spear when attacking, and the strongest shield when defending."
After saying this, Kimimaro's bones, which he had used to protect his entire body, disintegrated, revealing his naked body.
Shinki then noticed that Kimimaro had also undergone strange changes!
His entire body, like Sasuke's, had turned grayish-black, and his face and body were covered with strange patterns.
More importantly, this guy also grew a tail!
"No wonder I survived the lightning strike; it turns out I activated the Cursed Seal." Shinki suddenly realized.
"However, you probably can't maintain this form for too long."
The honest Kimimaro nodded. "Yes, it will be corrupted, but in this form, my abilities are greatly enhanced, and my bone hardness is also increased, allowing me to quickly finish you off."
"What you said has made me somewhat look forward to it," Shinki said with a chuckle.
Then, he drew the Short Sword from his waist, wanting to test Kimimaro's bones to see if they were truly the hardest thing in the world.
"Whoosh!"
Shinki's figure flashed, using the Body Flicker Technique to rush to Kimimaro's side!
Kimimaro was on high alert.
"Ding--"
The Short Sword in Shinki's hand clashed with the bone sword in Kimimaro's hand, producing a crisp sound like steel colliding.
The next moment.
A clang!
Shinki's Short Sword shattered from repeated collisions with Kimimaro's bones!
"This is good stuff."
Shinki raised his eyes and looked at the bone knife in Kimimaro's hand.
This is a pretty good Ninja Tools!
Next, Shinki used Summoning Scroll to summon the Thunder God Sword.
When the Thunder God Sword, gleaming with yellow lightning, appeared, the breaths of all the Konoha Ninjas paused for a brief moment.
No Ninja can say no to the Ninja Tools left behind by the Second!
"Why is the Thunder God Sword in Shinki's hands? Wasn't it stolen years ago?" Shikamaru asked.
"I don't know, Shinki always manages to come up with all sorts of strange things," Ya said.
The next moment, Shinki, wielding the Thunder God Sword, clashed with Kimimaro once again.
Sasuke was still in his Cursed Seal form at this point.
He was watching the battle between Shinki and Kimimaro.
His intuition told him that the Cursed Seal on Kimimaro was not weak.
So he wanted to see just how much power Orochimaru could give to people!
"Ding ding ding..."
The Shinki clashed with the Thunder God Sword and the bone spikes on Kimimaro's body.
With each collision, a trace amount of Lightning Release from the Thunder God Sword Chakra entered Kimimaro's body!
