"Heh, it seems Ōnoki is quite confident in his son's abilities?"
Hagoromo laughed when she heard Kitsuchi's words.
"No, I'm prepared to die in this battle."
With a solemn expression, Kitsuchi calmly uttered these words.
Hagoromo's eyes were icy cold; this guy had come with a death wish.
"Neji, go find the Yutoshi."
If the opponent is Kitsuchi, then Neji can no longer be brought along.
Fighting alone is more dangerous than fighting with others on the battlefield.
"Yes!"
Neji glanced at the Kitsuchi first, then immediately took a step back and left.
"I must become stronger, even stronger, so that I will no longer be a burden!" Neji clenched his fist tightly as he left.
At that moment, he had only this thought.
Hagoromo breathed a slight sigh of relief after seeing Neji leave.
Looking at the Kitsuchi, one could see that the man had no intention of making a move from the moment before.
"May I ask why Ōnoki started this war?"
Hagoromo's words made Kitsuchi frown slightly, but then he seemed to understand.
Do you think it's necessary to bring this up now?
Boom--
"Earth Release · Rock Fist!"
Kitsuchi stomped the ground, his right hand transforming into a hard Rock Fist, and smashed down towards Hagoromo.
The earth instantly cracked and spread like a spider web.
Hagoromo from Kitsuchi the instant it landed, her original foothold being blasted into dust.
"Don't even think about escaping!" Kitsuchi Tu slammed his palms on the ground, and Earth Release: Rock Collapse was activated.
The rock strata within a hundred meters in front of him instantly began to crack as if the earth were shaking, and the spot where Hagoromo had landed was directly severed.
He was then suspended in mid-air.
Whoosh--
Hagoromo flung out two kunai tied with steel Kunai, which pierced the rock layer that was being blown away by the Kitsuchi, and her figure kept shuttling between the falling rocks.
After using the momentum again, they went straight towards the Kitsuchi in one go.
Sizzle--
A blue Chakra condensed directly in his hand--
Lightning Release: Chidori!
The target was aimed directly at the back of the Kitsuchi.
Clang--
The black rock armor instantly covered the area, and the Chidori in Hagoromo's hand was shattered.
Kitsuchi Tu swiftly grabbed Hagoromo's wrist and shouted, "Got you!"
The Rock Fist on his right fist slammed down towards Hagoromo once again with immense pressure.
Bang!
The smoke exploded!
Kitsuchi's Rock Fist lost its target, while behind him, Hagoromo's figure rose high into the air.
"Yang Release: Unparalleled Monster Strength!"
"Earth Release: Earth Release: Golem Technique!"
Kitsuchi was not going to underestimate the Hagoromo in front of him, and directly used the Earth Release: Golem Technique to put on a layer of Gangli Style armor that was as hard as granite.
BOOM!
A violent shockwave erupted from the two of them, shattering the ground beneath Kitsuchi feet.
Even though Kitsuchi was already wearing the Gangli armor, he couldn't help but take several steps back after that punch.
His eyes were filled with disbelief as he stared at the small, thin figure in front of him.
This guy's Monster Strength is even more excessive than Akatsuchi's, no, wait!
This must be the signature move of Sannin, one of the Tsunade!
Although his father kept saying that Konoha was blessed by heaven, Kitsuchi had to admit it when he faced Hagoromo head-on this time.
The Hagoromo before me was even more extraordinary than any genius I had ever encountered.
"Although Father has always been stubborn, he was right—you must die!"
Kitsuchi's face was now completely expressionless. Before this, he had thought Ōnoki's declaration of war was ridiculous.
Now, he also feels that he must get rid of Hagoromo.
A ninja's strength can almost always increase dramatically before they turn twenty, but this young man in front of them...
According to intelligence, he is probably not even nineteen years old.
What? You want to kill me?
Hagoromo rubbed her wrist, then took a step and lunged forward.
"Then let Ōnoki come over! Maybe the two of you working together will give you a chance!"
Upon hearing this, Kitsuchi flew into a rage, stomping his feet on the ground and shouting, "Earth Release: Ultra-Added-Weight Rock Technique!"
Hagoromo suddenly felt her body become heavy, as if a huge boulder was pressing down on her.
This guy's Earth Release is truly monstrous; the remote-controlled Added-Weight Rock Technique has already managed to affect him.
But--
That's all!
In an instant, Hagoromo's entire body was covered in Yang Release Armament, and the gravity applied to her body suddenly disappeared.
In the next instant, Hagoromo's figure swiftly launched a surprise attack.
"Lightning Blade - Double Piercing!"
The Lightning Blades from both palms tore apart instantly, so fast that even the Kitsuchi couldn't see them clearly.
"So what if it's faster!"
Kitsuchi formed a hand seal with one hand and suddenly raised it, shouting, "Earth Release: Earth Opening and Digging!"
The ground beneath Hagoromo's feet collapsed with a deafening roar. Just as the Lightning Blade in her hand reached Kitsuchi's side, her entire figure plummeted into a hundred-meter-deep crevice.
Looking up, Hagoromo saw that the rock walls on both sides closed in like giant hands.
"Earth Release: Mountain Earth Technique!"
The massive rock formation instantly obscured the sky above Hagoromo's head.
No wonder this guy is called the one who controls the earth; his Earth Release is a technique in Chinese fantasy novels) moves are executed with incredible fluidity.
Hagoromo had no intention of surrendering easily; it was just a massive rock formation weighing tens of thousands of tons!
Chakra instantly coalesced on his feet, unleashing the "Heavenly Foot of Pain!"
Thud--
The Kitsuchi, which was clasping its hands together, felt the rock strata that was pressing against it first pause, and then it cracked open from the middle.
Boom--!
The entire mountain was blown apart, and boulders rolled in all directions.
Hagoromo figure charged straight at the gravel, right fist raised high.
Drink--!
Kitsuchi opened his mouth and roared, his entire body once again covered in granite-like steel armor.
"You really think you can use this trick a second time?!"
Hagoromo's right fist instantly transformed into a dark gray Yang Release Armament, with Chakra highly concentrated.
"Yang Release: Monster Strength Fourth!"
Boom--!
Click!
First, a slight cracking sound rang out, and then the steel armor covering Kitsuchi exploded like fragments.
An invisible shockwave exploded directly in front of Kitsuchi's chest. Kitsuchi Tu looked down at the fist that had landed on his chest.
Although it didn't exhibit terrifying destructive power, this punch instantly ruptured his internal organs.
"Even though you're an enemy, I should at least leave you a proper burial."
Hagoromo lowered her fist and said in a detached voice.
You're very strong--
Before Kitsuchi could finish speaking, he suddenly knelt on both knees, blood flowing from his rock armor and slowly seeping into the ground.
Hagoromo glanced at the Kitsuchi, then turned and headed in the direction Neji had just gone.
He kept rubbing his right wrist with his left hand; the fourth level of Monster Strength was no longer the kind of destructive force that only affected the surface.
Instead, it's a technique that uses Inch Force to explode directly inside the body.
It can be considered a technique that combines the Inch Power Eight Gates with Monster Strength.
Amidst the swirling sandstorm, the Iwagakure Ninja had quickly arrived landed beside Kitsuchi, just as they were about to reach out and touch him.
Don't touch it!
The Jonin nearby shouted, then bent down in front of Kitsuchi and asked in a slightly flustered tone:
"Master Kitsuchi?"
