Kitsuchi glanced over and saw a short figure standing expressionlessly beneath the shade of a tree ten paces away. It was that Konoha brat!
But...
Why did he feel so uneasy?
By then, the other Jonin had also formed hand seals and dispelled Tōka's genjutsu.
It had been a very simple C-rank genjutsu. Tōka knew it could not hold them for long; he had only used it to buy time.
Tōka pressed his hands together and completed the final seal. The calm chakra within his body suddenly turned violent.
Due to the peculiarities of his physique, Tōka needed only a thought or a gesture to activate most ninjutsu and genjutsu.
Once he formed hand seals, it meant the technique's power was at least B-rank!
"All-Killing Ash Bones: Earth Spear Pierce!"
As his indifferent voice, as cold as a Shinigami's, rang out, an aura of decay erupted from his small body.
The terrifying aura contained boundless power of death. At that moment, even space seemed frozen.
With a sharp crack, the earth beneath Tōka's feet seemed on the verge of shattering.
Pfft!!
A gray, withered bone burst from the ground. Though it was only the size of a fist, the ash bone gave off a hair-raising aura.
Then, pfft pfft pfft...
A string of sounds followed as the ground split apart. Pitch-black cracks crawled in every direction like enormous Mukade.
Ash bones burst from the earth like bamboo shoots after rain.
"Not good! It's that brat's Bone Release! Everyone, get to the high ground!" Kitsuchi roared his warning. At the same time, he lowered his body into a half-crouch, chakra coursing through his meridians and gathering madly in his palms.
Bang!!
Kitsuchi slammed both palms down, pouring violent chakra into the earth.
"Earth Release: Earth Core!"
With Kitsuchi's shout, Earth Core
