Dense bone spurs covered Kimimaro's body, forming a strange suit of bony armor that forcibly reinforced his body. To some extent, it slowed the cracking of his flesh.

But it was only temporary.

The violent natural energy within the Snake Cypress Seed would reach its peak in a few minutes.

Just as Long Ye had expected, even a taijutsu Kekkei Genkai like Kimimaro's Shikotsumyaku could not withstand the Snake Cypress Seed's power. Fine cracks appeared across bones harder than steel.

But as old wounds healed, fresh cracks appeared again.

Clearly, it was only a drop in the bucket.
