"You really couldn't be judged by common sense anymore."
Danzo spoke softly.
As the words left his mouth, his pupils suddenly contracted.
Xia Le, who had been standing before him a moment ago, had vanished.
Danzo jerked his head up. Xia Le had already raised his right leg and brought it down hard.
"Tempest Kick: Mountain Splitter!"
A flying slash shrieked toward him. Danzo stepped back almost on reflex.
Whoosh!
It swept past the tip of his nose like a razor-sharp blade and struck the ground beneath his feet.
Boom!
Dust billowed as a chasm with no end in sight split the ground open.
Danzo's pupils contracted. That simple kick rivaled an attack from Susanoo.
The man before him was a monster.
His hand twitched, and a Truth-Seeking Orb shot toward Xia Le at close range.
Xia Le slapped his right hand down.
Bang!
A dull impact rang out, and the tremendous force sent them both flying backward.
Danzo's expression grew grave. He had clearly seen a Truth-Seeking Orb floating in Xia Le's right palm too.
"How was that possible?!"
Danzo had fused countless Kekkei Genkai and become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki to gain such power. How could Xia Le have it too?
"Confused?"
"That's the great difference between us!"
"All you ever thought about was taking the power of those who came before you."
"But I've already grasped the essence of a new power."
"I mastered this transformation of Yin-Yang Chakra long ago. To me, it's just an amusing little trick!"
Xia Le spoke calmly.
He waved his hand.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Several black streaks shot toward Danzo.
Each streak was a Truth-Seeking Orb, rippling through the air.
Danzo dodged frantically, but one caught him off guard. He flew backward and tumbled across the ground, kicking up dust.
"That's impossible!!"
