"Damn it! Ahhh!!!"
After Shiro broke Bunpuku's seal with a single slash, Bunpuku screamed as he separated from Shukaku's body and began to fall.
Suddenly, a giant claw shot out and caught him.
"Shukaku?" Bunpuku smiled weakly. "Thank you, Shukaku. But I probably won't last much longer. Can you promise me one thing?"
"Speak."
"Don't hurt Sunagakure."
Shukaku's eyes narrowed slightly. "Fine."
"Then—"
Snap!
Before Bunpuku could even finish, Shukaku crushed him to death!
"Hahaha! I'm finally free! Damn you, Bunpuku! You imprisoned me for so many years, and you still wanted me to save them? Hmph! Pay for it with your life! Hahaha!"
Not far away, Shiro hovered in the sky, frowning as he watched Shukaku's actions. Something felt off. He remembered that Shukaku and Bunpuku were supposed to have had a pretty good relationship. How could he do something like this?
What had left the deepest impression on him was that Shukaku had once said Bunpuku was a bit like the Sage of Six Paths. But this didn't look like that at all. Could it be that his love was so deep he wanted them to become one?
While Shiro's thoughts were running wild, Shukaku finished venting. He fired an Air Bullet straight at Shiro, and Shiro instinctively controlled his Craft Essence to slide downward, dodging it.
"Tsk, tsk. Its power went up a lot. Is it because of the seal?" As he spoke, Shiro lowered his head and glanced at the Command Spell on his hand, most of which was glowing red.
He dispersed the red Rose in his left hand, fastened Rule Breaker back at his waist, and began circling Shukaku through the air, stalling for time while the Command Spell recharged.
On the other side, Orochimaru and Rasa had also begun an intense battle!
