"Pop~"
Under everyone's watchful eyes, ripples suddenly spread across Hiruko's outstretched right palm.
That was the power of Chakra!
Yet the Chakra emanating from Hiruko's palm was as still as the surface of calm water.
When Kakuzu's Water Release: Water Curtain collided with Hiruko's palm, it did not create the slightest ripple and was simply absorbed!

"Kekkei Genkai—Dark Release!"
Kakuzu, who was
