The mysterious man who had been blasted away by Shinji's Shinra Tensei carved a long trench through the ground, crashing through several enormous boulders before finally coming to a stop.
His hair disheveled, he spat out a mouthful of blood. "That move again!"
He was furious.
He had thought only the leader of the Akatsuki Organization, the one with the Sage's Eyes, could use this strange and domineering technique. He had never expected an ordinary masked member of the Akatsuki Organization to know it too.
Whoosh.
At that moment, Shinji used the Body Flicker Technique to appear on the battlefield.
The mysterious man climbed to his feet and glared coldly at Shinji. Without wasting words, he kicked off the ground again and lunged forward, swinging the bone blades on his arms.
Shinji raised a hand once more!
Thud.
Another invisible repulsive force shot out of nowhere, blasting the charging mysterious man away!
"What!?"
The others, who had been worried that the formidable mysterious man would hurt their leader, stared in shock.
Sasuke, especially, was dumbfounded, his pride forgotten. "W-what kind of technique is that?"
Karin was less shocked than the others, because she knew the technique Shinji was using was her Rinnegan's Shinra Tensei!
The mysterious man, blasted away once again, was a little battered, but an injury like this was nothing to him. Wood Release had pierced his heart without hurting him at all. A mere impact like this was even less likely to harm him.
But after being sent flying twice with such ease, he quickly began to take Shinji more seriously. Deep down, he was starting to suspect that Shinji was no ordinary member of the Akatsuki Organization.
Just as the mysterious man shifted more of his attention to Shinji, Shinji casually made a hand sign.
Whoosh,
