Sage Art: Lightning Release: Kirin

"As expected of someone Lord Orochimaru respects so much. That Totsuka Blade appearing out of nowhere makes things a little difficult for me!"

Hidden in the Cave, Kabuto Yakushi knew this was bad.

The dishes had to come out one at a time. He could hardly serve the main course right away.

At least for now, he had no intention of summoning more Ninja as reinforcements.

"But what will you do against Dust Release, Lord Yoru?"

Kabuto Yakushi focused more of his attention on the Second Tsuchikage. Rasa only needed to keep Uchiha Yoru occupied.

With Hiruko trapped, Kankuro immediately dragged him toward the Allied Shinobi Forces.

"Remember, protect him! Don't let anyone else get their hands on
