Deep within the canyon, the moonlight was obscured by thick clouds.
A cold wind swept past the rock walls.
Kidomaru crouched atop the canopy, his six eyes fixed firmly on the entrance below.
"The barrier has already been set. If those Hidden Leaf Village dogs dare step even half a foot in here, we'll make sure none of them leave alive."
Jirobo clenched his massive fists, his knuckles cracking loudly.
"Let me drain their chakra dry first and give the lords a little entertainment."
The atmosphere was heavy.
It was filled with a chilling sense of deadly intent ready to erupt.
Tayuya stood atop the highest boulder, her arms folded across her chest. The collar of her already scant clothing was stretched taut to its limit by her figure, the deep cleavage drawing the eye.
She closed her eyes, preparing to sense the enemy's presence.
Suddenly.
She felt a strange chill between her legs.
Before she could lower her head.
A thick Wood Release vine burst from the earth and coiled upward along the inside of her thigh in one fluid motion.
"Riiip—"
The sound of tearing fabric rang especially clearly through the canyon.
Tayuya's clothes were instantly reduced to scraps by that bizarre force.
A perfect tortoise-shell bondage pose appeared once more.
Tayuya was hoisted high into the air, her long, fair legs forcibly spread apart.
Her ample chest was completely exposed to the air, trembling up and down from the violent pull.
It was painfully eye-catching.
Tayuya froze.
What the hell was going on?
Jirobo and Sakon froze as well.
Looking at Tayuya, bound in midair with an almost artistic flair, the two of them swallowed in unison.
For some reason, they now really, really wanted to stare a little longer.
"Who's there?!"
Kidomaru, the quickest to react, roared and instantly drew a kunai.
Casual footsteps came from the darkness.
Chenshu Senju strolled out slowly with one hand in his pocket.
He glanced at Tayuya hanging in midair and nodded in satisfaction.
The fully automatic tracking vines never disappointed.
He raised his head and looked at the three Sound Ninja ahead.
"Laying an ambush and using the terrain? I was already sick of writing this cliché where villains force-feed the protagonist experience points in my novels last month."
Chenshu Senju tossed out the quip, too lazy even to form hand seals.
"Who the fuck are you?" Sakon gritted out.
"Orochimaru never mentioned me?"
"No."
"Mm."
Sakon felt deeply insulted.
Jirobo flew into a rage.
"You little bastard looking to die! I'll twist your head right off!"
He instantly activated the first state of his curse mark, black patterns crawling across his face as he charged forward with his massive fists swinging.
His momentum was ferocious.
Chenshu Senju did not even raise an eyelid.
A massive wooden pillar as thick as an embrace surged up from the ground.
Bang!
Jirobo, who had just been ready to go on a slaughter spree, was struck full in the face by the wooden pillar.
His teeth shattered and scattered across the ground. His entire body flew into the air before smashing deep into the rock wall, embedded so thoroughly he could not even be pried out.
Instant kill.
The air suddenly fell silent.
Sakon's charge came to an abrupt halt halfway through.
Holy shit.
What the fuck was this monster?
"Don't just stand there! Attack together!"
Kidomaru frantically swung all six arms, spewing out a huge barrier spiderweb coated in venomous slime.
The enormous net descended from above.
But.
Chenshu Senju merely snapped his fingers.
Countless sharp wooden spikes erupted from the ground, piercing straight through the toxic web with absolute brute force.
Kidomaru and Sakon's bodies were caught as well, their limbs pierced by dense wooden spikes and nailed firmly to the ground.
Blood sprayed wildly.
The Sound Ninja ambushers, who had been swaggering just moments ago, were wiped out in a single exchange.
Tayuya, hanging from the tree, was completely dumbfounded.
She was utterly disheveled in the wind.
Where the hell did this pervert come from? Was he really one of those Hidden Leaf Village ninja who went on about bonds?
There had been no mention of such a ruthless maniac in the intelligence reports.
Chenshu Senju walked over to Sakon.
Sakon's face was filled with terror as his body twisted frantically, trying to activate his parasitic ability and escape.
"Y-you... don't come any closer!"
Chenshu Senju crushed his arm beneath one foot, then pressed his hand directly against the curse mark on Sakon's neck.
The system notifications flooded the screen.
[ Ding. Defeated Sound Ninja Jirobo. Obtained one basic extraction. ] [ Ding. Defeated Sound Ninja Sakon. Obtained one basic extraction. ] [ Ding. Defeated Sound Ninja Kidomaru. Obtained one intermediate extraction. ] [ High-purity curse mark source detected. Beginning forced extraction and fusion. ]
Visible to the naked eye, the black markings on Sakon's body rapidly receded.
His chakra was drained completely dry. His eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
Using the same method.
Chenshu Senju strolled along, stripping every last drop of curse mark source from all three of them.
His Sage Body rapidly absorbed and fused with it, his physical attributes soaring.
This was the pure joy of dimensional suppression.
Without shedding a single drop of sweat, he had devoured the entire experience package.
Chenshu Senju turned around and walked toward the massive sealed wooden barrel.
Inside was Sasuke Uchiha, currently undergoing curse mark fusion.
Chenshu Senju knocked on the barrel.
"Is this thing soundproof?"
There was no response.
He raised his leg and kicked the barrel hard.
The barrel rolled several times across the ground, and dull sounds of flesh striking wood came from within.
The poker-faced kid had probably cracked his head open.
"Looks like it isn't shockproof."
Chenshu Senju had no intention of bringing Sasuke back. If that kid did not go to Orochimaru and farm some loot, where was Chenshu Senju supposed to trigger his high-level mission?
Just then.
"Um..."
A weak voice came from overhead.
Tayuya's face was bright red. She bit her lower lip in humiliation, her generously sized pale breasts gently swaying in the cold wind.
"Could you... let me down first?"
Chenshu Senju looked up and studied her seriously for several seconds.
Very white.
He nodded, then decisively refused.
"No."
"Why?!" Tayuya was on the verge of breaking down.
"Because there's still a bunch of miserable Hidden Leaf Village pursuers behind us, running through the woods and eating dirt in the middle of the night."
Chenshu Senju spoke with complete seriousness. "Leave you like this as a night-shift benefit for our brothers from the same village."
Tayuya:?
Are you even human?!
Several dozen kilometers away.
Shikamaru led Naruto and the others as they raced across the tree branches, drenched in sweat.
Shikamaru panted heavily, his clothes soaked through.
"Chenshu Senju that bastard runs way too fast! We haven't even seen so much as a hair of him along the way!"
They never could have imagined that the enemies ahead had already been completely swept away, leaving behind only a tree full of startling scenery.
At the same time.
High above the canyon.
At the edge of a cliff.
A pale youth with a head of white hair and two red dots on his forehead stood quietly in the night.
It was Kimimaro, Orochimaru's strongest trump card.
He had dragged his seriously ill body here ahead of time to provide support, expecting a fierce battle.
Instead, he witnessed a scene that made him question his entire life.
Four core subordinates had been instantly defeated by a single guy from the Hidden Leaf Village.
That Wood Release user was terrifyingly powerful, and his methods were perverted and completely without limits.
Looking at Tayuya hanging naked from the tree.
Kimimaro's fingers trembled slightly, and he could not help coughing twice.
Orochimaru's plan... had truly run into serious trouble this time.
