Crack! Crack! Crack!
The hard bones erupting from Kimimaro's entire body shattered the wood binding him. The power of the Dead Bone Pulse poured into the earth, and white bones bloomed like early bracken, forming a sprawling field of bones stretching several kilometers before him!
"Aaarghhh!!" Thousands of White Zetsu were pierced through their bodies by the bones and skewered in midair...
"Pant... pant... pant..." Kimimaro crouched on the ground, gasping heavily!
Using the time he had bought, the ninja army charged forward!
Out of respect, they voluntarily made a path for him, charging from both sides of Kimimaro and engaging the White Zetsu in close combat!
Akatsuchi helped Kimimaro to his feet and asked with concern, "Are you all right? I remember your health wasn't very good!"
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!
The Cursed Seal receded from State Three to State Two. Kimimaro was only ten years old, after all, and could not maintain State Three for long like Sasuke Uchiha could now.
He wiped the sweat from his face and said to Akatsuchi, "I'm fine. Let's keep fighting..."
"Good!" Akatsuchi nodded solemnly. With Rock Fists covering his arms, he charged into the enemy ranks alongside Kimimaro!
Through this battle, the two former enemies became friends who respected one another!
This battle was the most brutal one since the ninja war had begun!
Only twenty minutes into the battle, the main force of the Allied Army's Second Division had suffered more than ten thousand casualties!
Only when the Fourth Division, led by Dodai and Shikamaru Nara, arrived as reinforcements did the battle finally come to an end!
Of the enemy's twenty thousand White Zetsu, fifteen thousand were annihilated. The five thousand survivors had exhausted their Talisman Release and could no longer use Wood Release. They fled into the ground and vanished
