Mid-air.
Looking down at the pale forest that had appeared out of nowhere in the woods below, Hyuga Satoru wore a solemn expression.
The time Tyrant Mode can maintain is running out, so I can't drag this out any longer.
He took out a scroll, and as the white smoke cleared, a large number of kunai and shuriken appeared out of thin air, floating in the mid-air behind him.
Forming electromagnetic propulsion, the kunai and shuriken slowly rotated, and blue lightning arcs intersected and passed through them, instantly enveloping all the ninja tools to form a web of lightning arcs.
Hyuga Satoru raised his hand and waved it downward.
Instantly, the ninja tools floating behind him abruptly turned into electromagnetic cannons, shooting toward the ground at an extremely fast speed and making a booming sound.
A large number of bone spikes were smashed to pieces by the electromagnetic cannons, and bone fragments mixed with dust splashed everywhere.
Hyuga Satoru frowned slightly; in the field of view of the Byakugan, there was no sign of the expected hit on Kaguya Maro.
Did he teleport away in advance before the attack arrived? Truly a troublesome ability.
Dance of the Clematis is the ultimate technique of Shikotsumyaku, allowing the Kaguya Clan to teleport to any position covered by bone spikes.
Suddenly, a chill came from behind.
Hyuga Satoru did not look back; the silvery-white little snakes swirling around his body quickly wriggled, transforming into a shield to block behind him.
Clang!
Just as the shield had finished forming, a huge impact erupted along the shield, causing his body to stagger slightly and move forward a few steps from mid-air.
Behind him, the lower half of Kaguya Maro's body, connected to a massive bone spike, had actually stretched directly by over ten meters and appeared behind Hyuga Satoru, his right hand transformed into a huge spiral bone spike that was pressing hard against the silver shield.
You really don't learn your lesson.
Enduring the surging blood in his body, Hyuga Satoru flash a hint of coldness in his eyes.
A metallic little snake suddenly branched off from the silver shield, sliding along the spiral bone spike toward Kaguya Maro's body.
His pupils suddenly shrinking, Kaguya Maro did not dare to hesitate any longer; he actually directly disintegrated the bone spike on his right hand, and his body rapidly descended, once more plunging into the Pale Bone Forest.
Hyuga Satoru tore open another scroll once more, and a large number of metal ninja tools appeared, transforming into electromagnetic cannons shot toward the ground under the terrifying enhancement of electromagnetic propulsion.
Rumble!
A large number of bone spikes were destroyed, revealing a ravaged ground. However, that pale forest seemed to have a life of its own, rapidly spreading, growing, and swallowing up the gaps.
Planning to buy time?
Hyuga Satoru narrowed his eyes. The duration for which Tyrant Mode could persist was running out, and he had to resolve this fellow as soon as possible.
He looked back and gazed into the distance where Anko had left, whispering, "It's been this long, so Anko should have run far away by now."
Immediately after, he took a deep breath, holding nothing back as the chakra within his body surged frantically.
He aimed his right hand at the earth and gripped it fiercely.
Instantly, the ground actually trembled unbelievably. Accompanied by the tremor of the earth, a massive amount of the Metal Jungle rose from the ground, swallowing up a large number of trees in the forest and frantically shredding the Pale Bone Forest.
Deep within the bone forest, Kaguya Maro's pupils trembled slightly.
What kind of jutsu is this?!
His chakra surged wildly, manipulating the bone forest to grow once more in an attempt to contend with the Metal Jungle, but after merely pausing slightly, it was immediately churned into bone fragments.
Accompanied by a booming sound, the black Metal Jungle completely suppressed the pale bone forest, advancing continuously toward the center.
In mid-air, Hyuga Satoru, who was clenching his fists, shook his head slightly.
That patch of the Metal Jungle had almost drained all the metal particles from the earth within a radius of ten li, continuously compressing the gaps between the particles to greatly enhance its density.
Its hardness was far from something bone-like could compare to!
Suddenly, his face turned pale as he staggered in mid-air.
Damn it, is the time for Tyrant Mode running out?
In the distance, Anko, who was fleeing, noticed the tremor of the earth and immediately turned her head back.
She saw a large amount of black metal drilling through the ground, violently colliding with the pale bone forest in the middle.
The contest between black and white could be clearly seen even from here.
"That is..."
Anko's pupils trembled slightly as she saw a tiny figure swaying unsteadily above that patch of rising Metal Jungle, seeming as though it might fall at any moment.
"Satoru..."
Rumble...
In the air.
Hyuga Satoru's face was pale, his teeth clenched as he squeezed out his final chakra.
Below, the black Metal Jungle had already swallowed more than half of the bone forest, closing in continuously toward the central position.
Seeing that the Metal Jungle could no longer be stopped at all, Kaguya Maro's expression turned frantic, his eyeballs bursting with numerous grim bloodshot veins as he roared hoarsely.
"If I'm going to die, you'll have to be buried with me too, you'll be buried with me!"
The frantic bloodline of the Kaguya Clan completely overwhelmed him at the very last moment, and he actually directly gave up on contending with the Metal Jungle, mobilizing all of his remaining chakra to cause the surrounding bone forest to rapidly grow and spread upward, charging fiercely toward Hyuga Satoru in mid-air.
This was his desperate strike!
Losing the support of chakra, the speed at which the bone forest was swallowed by the Metal Jungle increased dramatically. In the blink of an eye, it had already reached his side, and countless hard black metals pierced through his body, staining the surrounding pale bones red.
He was laughing, a fanatical laugh.
"Hahahaha... You have to die too, you have to die too!"
The rapidly growing bone spikes had already arrived. The pupils within Hyuga Satoru's pale face shrank; the massive consumption of his body left him almost nowhere to dodge, and the silvery little snakes flowed rapidly, blocking in front of the vital parts of his body.
Splat!
Several bone spikes pierced through his body, and fresh blood dripped drop by drop from the pale bone spikes onto the Metal Jungle below.
The blue lightning arcs pulsing among his hair strands vanished, and Hyuga Satoru only felt a fierce pain completely envelop him.
Tyrant Mode had ended.
A clap of thunder suddenly rang out in the gray, gloomy sky, and Hyuga Satoru weakly raised his head as a drop of cold rainwater smashed onto his face.
Then came the second drop...
The rainwater washed away the bloody grime on his face, taking away the last remaining warmth of his body.
"It's raining."
His gaze looking toward the sky trembled slightly, and he whispered softly, his voice too weak to be heard.
That rainstorm, which had been brewing for so long, finally fell at the very moment the battle drew to a close...
Pattering...
The June rain always came fiercely; within just a few breaths, the downpour was already heavy, and dense raindrops battered the tragic battlefield.
Beside the ruined bone forest, Kaguya Maro's body was pierced through by the dense Metal Jungle, his corpse already cold in the rainwater, his face still bearing a cruel smile from his final moment.
Hyuga Satoru used his remaining strength to pull his body out from the bone spikes bit by bit, falling down in mid-air. The silvery little snakes swirling around his body condensed into a metal sphere the size of a fist, plunging together with him into the ruins.
In the heavy rain, Hyuga Satoru's eyelids felt as though they were filled with lead, becoming incomparably heavy.
In a trance, he felt as if he had been hoisted onto someone's back, stumbling forward in the torrential rain as a trace of warmth transmitted over from the other person's body.
At the very last moment, his consciousness plunged into darkness.
