"Just as I thought—you're the sort of rats that lurk in the shadows."
The old monk made no attempt to hide his disgust. Fire Temple belonged to the Daimyo's faction and deeply despised and rejected ninjas, especially after those ninjas had formed ninja villages and grown even stronger.
At that moment, a burly middle-aged samurai leaped over, a long, narrow katana in hand.
"An enemy?"
the middle-aged samurai asked.
"He is strong,"
the old monk warned. He then raised his hand into a gesture. The surrounding natural energy was tainted and drawn together by a spiritual force, forming a Thousand-Armed Kannon Manifestation.
Naturally, this manifestation could not be seen with the naked eye, since it was made of natural energy. This was also one of the fundamental reasons the Sage Talent Secret Art was so powerful.
It was inherently invisible, making its attacks difficult to evade. In the future, even Kakuzu and Hidan would suffer at its hands. If not for their immortal bodies, they would have long since been beaten to death.
The old monk went all out, while the middle-aged samurai prepared to unleash his own attack. He slowly sheathed his katana and silently gathered his strength.
The old monk struck first. His previously calm expression abruptly twisted into fury, and the Thousand-Armed Kannon Manifestation changed as well, transforming into an enraged Wrathful King Manifestation. Invisible fists condensed from natural energy blasted out one after another.
Yang Hao swung his ninja blade, splitting each fist mark apart while carefully observing the old monk's changing manifestation.
