A Fierce Battle with Kimimaro and a Sinister Gaze

A Fierce Battle with Kimimaro and a Sinister Gaze

The canyon's cold wind howled past.

The air fell into a deathly silence.

Kimimaro gripped a sharp bone spike, his icy gaze locked onto Chenshu Senju.

Wrapped in the oversized black trench coat Chenshu had given her, Tayuya huddled in the back.

The coat was too large; it could not conceal the fact that she was naked underneath.

When the cold wind blew, the hem of the coat lifted slightly, exposing large patches of enticing snow-white skin to the air.

Not only were her long legs faintly visible, but even the deep, proud cleavage between her breasts gleamed white beneath the moonlight.

Jirobo and the other two, who had just crawled back from death's door, swallowed in unison.

Their eyes were practically bulging out.

Tayuya was overcome with shame and fury. She desperately covered her chest, squeezing the two huge soft mounds out of shape.

Chenshu glanced back, then solemnly extended several vines and professionally wrapped them around Tayuya twice.

"The wind's too strong. I'm helping you fasten a seat belt."

Rip.

The vines suddenly tightened, once again forming an artistically elaborate tortoise-shell bondage.

The coat was cinched tightly against her body instead, outlining her devilish curves even more obscenely. Her full chest and curvy hips were on full display.

Tayuya's face instantly turned liver-red.

What kind of fucking seat belt is this?!

At the edge of the cliff.

Kimimaro watched the scene coldly.

The subordinates Lord Orochimaru had painstakingly trained had actually become so disgraceful before this brat.

Humiliation.

He suddenly broke into a violent coughing fit, spraying a pool of scarlet blood onto the ground. His face was as pale as paper.

"Um..."

Chenshu turned around and sized him up.

"Why don't you take some calcium supplements first? Looking at how consumptive you are, you could drop dead here at any moment."

"The one who will die is you."

Kimimaro's eyes instantly turned frigid.

The berserk bloodline of the Kaguya Clan boiled within him.

He thrust both hands forward, and the bones in all ten fingers instantly burst out through his fingertips.

Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Pale bone bullets tore through the air like heavy machine-gun fire, screaming as they shot madly toward Chenshu.

With this kind of power, ordinary ninjutsu could not block even a single shot.

Chenshu could not even be bothered to form hand seals. He stomped heavily on the ground with one foot.

Wood Release: Wood Locking Wall.

A row of massive, dense wooden pillars instantly erupted from the ground, forming a wall like a fortress before him.

Bang bang bang bang!

The bone bullets, capable of easily piercing steel plates, struck the wooden wall and exploded into splinters—but every single one was forcibly deflected.

Even the Kaguya Clan's Shikotsumyaku could not break through the defenses of Wood Release wielded by a Sage Body.

For some reason, Kimimaro felt that the power he had always been proud of was a joke before this brat.

"Your defense is decent." Kimimaro wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Orochimaru didn't give you insurance or retirement benefits, did he?" Chenshu shot back.

"What?"

"He won't even let you take sick leave. What a pure-blooded exploitative capitalist."

"Shut up!"

Kimimaro had been struck right where it hurt and was completely enraged.

He grabbed his shoulders with both hands and yanked hard, forcibly pulling out his own two collarbones.

Two pale bone blades appeared in his hands.

Dance of the Larch!

Kimimaro moved like lightning, countless sharp bone spikes thrusting out as he charged straight into Chenshu's face.

Offense and defense in one, his taijutsu pushed to the limit.

He was practically a humanoid weapon covered in barbs.

Chenshu curled his lips, and his arm instantly transformed into a thick, hardened giant tree trunk.

"Then let's see who hits harder."

Bang!

The bone blades collided heavily with the wooden arm, unleashing a terrifying ring of chakra shockwaves.

Crack after crack rang out without end.

Sparks flew everywhere.

The brutal clash between two bloodline limits caused the entire canyon floor to collapse wildly.

The immense wind pressure swept toward Tayuya.

She desperately held down the hem of her coat as it whipped in the wind, but the airflow still pressed her proud twin peaks into an extremely exaggerated shape.

Sakon dodged falling stones while frantically wiping away his nosebleed.

"That's fucking incredible."

It was unclear whether he meant the battle or Tayuya's figure.

At the center of the battlefield, the situation instantly reached its climax.

Chenshu calculated inwardly. These bones are damn tough. No wonder he's a high-level experience pack.

The longer Kimimaro fought, the more alarmed he became. His bone spikes could slice through refined steel, yet they could not cut through the opponent's endlessly regenerating wood.

His chakra consumption was too great, and tearing pain shot through his lungs.

He could not drag this out any longer.

He abruptly retreated dozens of meters, and a violent purple-black aura erupted from his body.

The second state of the Curse Mark fully activated.

Kimimaro transformed into a tailed, demon-like monster.

He pressed a hand against his spine. Accompanied by a grating sound that made teeth ache—

He forcibly pulled out a massive barbed spine, turning it into a terrifying bone whip.

Dance of the Clematis Flower!

The bone whip instantly wrapped around Chenshu's Wood Release arm, locking it tightly in place.

In Kimimaro's left hand, the strongest and hardest spiraling bone spear gathered, aimed directly at Chenshu's heart.

Even an ordinary Kage-level fighter would have to kneel before this strike.

But Chenshu remained expressionless.

He looked at that enormous spinal bone and seriously asked a question.

"When you pull out your own spine, doesn't it hurt?"

"It doesn't."

"Oh."

The air fell eerily silent for a second.

Boom!

The next instant.

The senjutsu chakra within Chenshu erupted like a volcano.

The entire canyon floor exploded apart completely.

A colossal Wood Dragon dozens of meters long roared into the sky, instantly coiling around Kimimaro.

The Wood Dragon bit down on that strongest bone spear, and its violent crushing force erupted at once.

Crack—

The Kaguya bones, said to possess Absolute Defense, developed dense cracks beneath the Wood Dragon Technique's deadly constriction.

Kimimaro's body was crushed until blood sprayed wildly. His eyes were full of disbelief.

An absolute bloodline suppression.

"Why bother with all those flashy dances when smashing people with big logs is so much more practical?"

With one hand in his pocket, Chenshu stood atop the Wood Dragon's head, looking down at the heavily wounded Kimimaro.

The outcome had been decided.

Elsewhere.

Deep within the mountains and forests more than ten miles away.

Beneath the rustling shadows of the trees.

A pair of pale hands covered in cold sweat gripped a tree trunk tightly.

Orochimaru hid in the darkness, his snake-like eyes fixed on the distant battlefield.

The moment he saw that colossal Wood Dragon, his body trembled violently with extreme excitement.

It was beautiful.

This was the power that stood at the very pinnacle of the ninja world.

Compared to Kimimaro, who could die of illness at any moment, and Sasuke, who still smelled of his mother's milk—

That Senju brat controlling the Wood Dragon was the most perfect vessel in the world!

Orochimaru greedily licked his lips, his gaze turning colder than ever.

"Chenshu Senju..."

No matter the price, he would obtain that body brimming with life force.
