His spine extended and lengthened like an iron whip, smashing countless Shadow Clones apart in midair.

Yet several dozen Shadow Clones still broke through the spine's blockade and struck Kaguya Wuzhan's chest and abdomen at the same time.

Bang!

Kaguya Wuzhan's vision went dark, and he forcibly suppressed the metallic sweetness rising in his throat.

Lion 3,000 Barrage!

Several dozen Shadow Clones roared in unison, raising their legs and kicking Kaguya Wuzhan squarely in the lower back.

Pfft!

Kaguya Wuzhan could no longer hold it in. He spat out a mouthful of blood and plummeted straight down, smashing a massive crater into the ground as thick smoke billowed outward.

"Damn it! Black Zetsu, you bastard!"

Kaguya Wuzhan's voice rang out from the crater, furious beyond measure. Since making his name, he had never suffered such a crushing loss.

"Since you've forced me this far, I don't care who you are or where you came from—I'll kill you!"

His words dripped with gritted hatred. He had always been a ruthless man.

Kaguya Wuzhan completely abandoned any thought of fleeing. Black Zetsu was famous throughout the Fire Country for his elusive escape techniques. Though he had not tried, he knew he would not be able to escape even if he wanted to. He might as well fight him to the bitter end!

Kaguya Wuzhan had lived this long, cutting down countless foes wherever he went. He had never feared anyone!

Wasn't this just a contest of madness? Let's see who was crazier!

Shusen frowned. Judging by how full of strength the other man's voice was, Lion 3,000 Barrage did not seem to have seriously injured him.

Then he would follow it up with another move!

"Wind Release: Great Cutting Technique!"

He formed hand seals with both hands and spat out a cluster of wind blades compressed from air, which shot toward the place where Kaguya Wuzhan had fallen.

The smoke surrounding the area was immediately blown away, revealing Kaguya Wuzhan within.

Kaguya Wuzhan's appearance had changed drastically. Every inch of his skin was covered in bone, while his tailbone had extended several meters from behind him, thick and long. He looked exactly like an armored warrior.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The wind blades struck Kaguya Wuzhan's body, producing sharp metallic clangs and strings of sparks.

"Useless."

Kaguya Wuzhan sneered. He merely raised a hand to shield his eyes, neither dodging nor evading as he took the wind blades head-on with his body.

"Bone Form is a defensive forbidden technique of our Kaguya Clan, also known as absolute defense. Ninjutsu of this level can't hurt me!"

Soon, all the wind blades had been expended.

Kaguya Wuzhan stood where he was without a scratch. Not even a mark had been left on his bone-covered body, while the forest behind him had been shredded into ruins by the aftershock of the wind blades. The contrast was immense.

Shusen's expression turned solemn. This move of his was rather troublesome...

"Now it's my turn to attack!"

The corner of Kaguya Wuzhan's mouth curled upward. He stomped down hard enough to crack the ground, then used the recoil to dive toward Shusen. Treating his own body as a weapon, he slashed out with a hand blade.

Bang!

Shusen raised his staff to meet him, only to find that after entering Bone Form, Kaguya Wuzhan's speed, strength, and defense had all increased dramatically. The impact made the web between Shusen's thumb and forefinger ache faintly.

"You despicable little thief who only dares hide in the shadows and steal eyes—what gives you the nerve to kill me? Today, either you die or I live!"

Kaguya Wuzhan snarled. Since he could not make eye contact with his opponent, he abandoned all defense and attacked with everything he had. Every move was a vicious, life-for-life strike.

Bang!

Shusen brought his staff down on Kaguya Wuzhan's skull, but it only sent a shower of sparks flying and caused no real damage.

It really is hard! Shusen thought in alarm.

Kaguya Wuzhan suddenly twisted his body, sweeping out his thick tailbone and smashing a massive boulder weighing several tons into pieces. Its destructive force was immense.

Shusen no longer dared to clash with him head-on. Kaguya Wuzhan was like a humanoid tyrannosaur now. He could take more than a dozen blows from Shusen's staff without suffering a scratch, while Shusen's small frame could not even withstand a single hit from him.

After another exchange, Shusen used the powerful recoil to retreat dozens of meters. He formed hand seals and repeated his old trick.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique."

Poof! Poof! Poof!

Several hundred Shadow Clones appeared on the battlefield once more.

Kaguya Wuzhan licked his lips disdainfully. "I won't fall for the same trick twice."

He was brimming with confidence. Even the opponent's original body could not break through the defense of his Bone Form, so what use could Shadow Clones have? At most, they would scratch an itch before he slaughtered them all.

"Is that so? This time, the move is different."

As Shusen spoke, he led by example, extending his right hand and rapidly rubbing his left hand above it. A sphere of chakra condensed into shape.

The several hundred Shadow Clones beside him moved in perfect sync, likewise forming chakra spheres in their palms.

"Rasengan!"

Kaguya Wuzhan froze.

The Multiple Shadow Clone Technique and Rasengan were both ninjutsu that Ashina had once "accidentally" found. Many members of the Uzumaki Clan knew them, so Kaguya Wuzhan was no stranger to either technique. But he had never seen anyone combine the two.

He was not afraid of one Rasengan.

But what about ten Rasengan? A hundred Rasengan?

Kaguya Wuzhan suddenly felt a little intimidated. It was not that he lacked ruthlessness—it was simply instinctive cowardice.

"Go!"

At Shusen's command, several hundred Shadow Clones leaped into the air, each holding a Rasengan.

With no other choice, Kaguya Wuzhan could only steel himself and face the enemy force, charging alone into the Shadow Clones.

Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof...

At first, Kaguya Wuzhan was unstoppable. Wielding a spine bone, he slaughtered in all directions, blasting batch after batch of Shadow Clones apart with every motion and keeping them from getting close.

But the Shadow Clones feared death even less than he did. Like moths flying into flame, they swarmed him in a flood and overwhelmed him through sheer numbers.

Rasengan after Rasengan collided with the spine bone. After several minutes of deadlock, they finally knocked it from his grasp and sent it flying.

Having lost his weapon, Kaguya Wuzhan could no longer hold his ground. Within moments, he was swallowed by the sea of clones.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosions continuously erupted from within the crowd. Every part of Kaguya Wuzhan's body was struck by Rasengan, as if hundreds of explosive tags had been attached to him and detonated all at once.

"Move aside!"

Shusen shouted as he descended from the sky with an Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan in hand. The Shadow Clones instantly scattered in all directions.

"Ridiculous! How could I possibly die at your hands?!"

Kaguya Wuzhan roared hysterically, his eyes bloodshot. He crossed his arms over his chest and took the Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan head-on.

Boom!!

The Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan's power was no joke. This strike was enough to shatter mountains and split the earth.

The ground burst apart and collapsed as shockwaves rolled outward. Every tree within nearly a hundred meters was uprooted, and even the earth itself was torn up and flung into the air.

After a long while, the dust finally settled.

"You... you can't kill me... Cough, cough!"

Kaguya Wuzhan climbed to his feet on one knee. Countless cracks had appeared across the bones covering his body, making him resemble a shattered porcelain doll. Blood continuously seeped and flowed from those cracks, leaving him in a horrifying state.

Shusen unconsciously narrowed his eyes at the sight.

He had to admit that Kaguya Wuzhan's Bone Form was truly sturdy. Even the Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan had failed to break through it!
