Kazashiro VS Shinno (1)

"Was it successful?"

Seeing Shinno completely disappear from his sight, Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he dared not let his guard down and questioned his disciple.

"It's a success."

Upon hearing Obito's affirmative reply, Jiraiya finally let his guard down completely.

However, a new problem has arisen.

That's the one in the Kamui Dimension. Will he be able to defeat Shinno, who opened Eight Gates without suffering any damage?

"It doesn't matter if we can't beat them, since it's just a Shadow Clone of Kazashiro inside anyway."

Obito wasn't worried about any of that. If even Kazashiro's Shadow Clone couldn't defeat the opponent, he would simply throw Shinno into Orochimaru's Research Bureau.

Surely that esteemed person has a way to subdue this guy.

Meanwhile, in the Kamui Dimension.

Shinno cautiously surveyed his surroundings.

Obito's movements were so fast that he only felt a blur before his eyes, and then the scene before him changed drastically.

"Ah, Obito seems to be quite fast. Now, let's count your sins—"

The boy's voice abruptly stopped.

Upon hearing the commotion, Shinno threw a punch at Evening Elephant.

"Konoha, what Obito you bring in?! "Konoha

Kazashiro Bai, who was nearly shattered by Evening Elephant's punch, fled in a sorry state, only to discover that his opponent was emanating a unique red steam belonging to the Gate of Death.

The Eight Gates, and the Gate of Death at that?!

The unexpected incident nearly caused Kazashiro to strain his back. With the help of the Flying Thunder God Kunai he had prepared beforehand, he maneuvered and dodged Shinno's attacks from behind cover.

If it were the Eight Gates, one could simply wear down the opponent until they died.

"What an unexpected bonus."

The speed at which the Gate of Death amplifies the human body is so great that Shinno could barely keep up with the speed of the Flying Thunder God.

However, it was still a bit lacking, making it very difficult to attack Kazashiro.

"I thought this was a prison tailor-made for me, but I didn't expect to find someone as Hokage as the Hokage waiting here. Hmph, if I kill you here, that person will surely be very happy."

Although he said that, Shinno did not have a way to defeat Kazashiro for the time being.

"Ice Release: Ice Spear"

Kazashiro summoned an ice spear and thrust it straight into his opponent's chest.

Seeing that Kazashiro still dared to engage in close combat, Shinno laughed and took the opponent's attack head-on, while reaching out to crush Kazashiro's throat.

The sharp tip of the ice spear slashed open a gash in Shinno's chest, while its wielder, Kazashiro, used the Flying Thunder God to escape just as the giant hand was about to grab him.

Then he saw the wound he had created healing at a visible speed, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

No wonder.

This guy actually has the ability to regenerate his body.

"How did you do that?"

Creating some distance between them, Kazashiro cautiously questioned the other party.

"This is all thanks to the great power bestowed upon me by that lord, and of course, it also includes the small help I received from some friends."

As Shinno spoke, his expression suddenly changed, but he quickly concealed it, though the red steam on his body gradually dissipated.

Physical regeneration has its limits.

The proliferation of Kikaichū within her body, the stimulation of the Gate of Death, and Kazashiro's recent attack have left Shinno unable to maintain the state of the Gate of Death.

Reaching out, Shinno slit open his own waist and, right in front of Kazashiro, slipped his hand inside.

Before Kazashiro could even realize what the other party was about to do, a clump of black substance was forcibly pulled out of his body.

It wasn't until he threw the mass on the ground that Kazashiro saw its true nature.

Kikaichū of the Aburame Clan.

A good opportunity.

Before he could even marvel at the opponent's methods, Kazashiro's body had already instinctively taken action.

The Flying Thunder God Technique was activated, and Kazashiro, who had moved to the vicinity of Shinno, unleashed Eightfold Light Wheel.

"Innocent."

Shinno dodged the attack by stepping to the side. His arm, which was originally the same length as a normal person's, suddenly stretched out, bent forward, and rushed straight towards Kazashiro's location.

"Ice Release: Ice Rock Dome Nothingness"

Faced with the attack, Kazashiro did not choose to dodge, but instead used Ice Release to test the strength of the opponent's attack.

The ice wall shattered instantly, sending ice crystals flying everywhere. Knowing the strength of the attack, Kazashiro used the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape.

At this time, Shinno's wounds had completely healed, and he had expelled all the Kikaichū from his body.

"This method is quite similar to Orochimaru's."

Kazashiro complained irritably.

"Yes, this move did indeed draw inspiration from some of his abilities."

Shinno needed time to recover, so he readily responded to Kazashiro's complaint.

He hadn't figured out his exact position yet, so the best option was to take the young Hokage hostage and extract the secrets of their current predicament from him.

Kazashiro relieved that the other party had closed the Gate of Death; otherwise, with just his Shadow Clone, he wouldn't have been able to take down the other party while enduring the Evening Elephant.

The conversation had also given him some information, such as that this physical regeneration was likely aided by someone suspected to Ōtsutsuki.

In other words, if he could capture the other party alive, he could actually get some intelligence from him.
