Flames rode the gale, burning through the cliff face disguised by insects!
Aburame Ryoma looked up in the darkness. His eyes betrayed nothing behind his sunglasses, but his clasped hands revealed his tension. "Have I been exposed? And the ones who came... what an unexpected pairing."
"Uchiha Itachi, Orochimaru..."
Muttering their names, Aburame Ryoma raised his hand and bit hard into his thumb, ordering those behind him, "Go. Hold them off until I summon that fellow!"
Then Yamanaka Fū and Aburame Tōrune, both controlled by his poison insects, charged forward woodenly!
Orochimaru said, "Those two were reincarnated by Kabuto, then brought under Naruto-kun's control with Kotoamatsukami. It seems the poison insects took control of them while they were out searching for Ryoma..."
Multiple Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!
Whoosh! More than a dozen large snakes shot out from Orochimaru's sleeves, splitting into two groups and swiftly coiling around the charging pair!
"Itachi, deal with Yamanaka Fū first. His Mind Body Switch Technique poses a serious threat!"
Slash! Without hesitation, Susanoo blazed to life. The Totsuka Blade descended from the mouth of its fiery red gourd and pierced Yamanaka Fū's body!
The poison insects' control vanished with it!
Yamanaka Fū said apologetically, "I've caused Lord Naruto trouble!"
Crack! Crack!
Cracks appeared across his skin. He turned to liquid and was drawn into the gourd by the Totsuka Blade, Sealing him away!
Plop! Plop!
The snake hands coiled around Aburame Tōrune fell away!
His skin had turned a dark purple, a visible manifestation of his unique ability!
As Aburame Shikuroo's son, Tōrune also commanded nanoscopic poison insects!
But unlike Ryoma's evil-parasitic insects, Tōrune's poison insects were called parasitic black insects. He coated his skin with them, infecting enemies through contact to destroy their cells!
Once free of his restraints, Aburame Tōrune lunged forward.
