Picking Flowers for Hinata on the Way Back to the Village, Cooking Instant Noodles at the Valley of the End

Itachi suddenly sensed movement behind him. Turning around, he saw a bone spike over a hundred meters long behind the Illusory War God.

Kimimaro emerged from the bone spike, raising a long bone spear in his hand and piercing through the Perfect Susanoo in one strike.

"Dead Bone Pulse: Dance of the Young Ferns!" Kimimaro pierced through the Perfect Susanoo with an utterly calm expression, as if this had been entirely expected.

His whole body then flew backward like a kite with its string cut,
