Kimimaro and Karui's battle continued.
But anyone with eyes could see that Karui was at an overwhelming disadvantage.
Her defeat was only a matter of time.
And judging by Kimimaro's expression, he would definitely kill Karui unless she surrendered.
C and Dodai's faces were filled with anxiety.
Should they raise the white flag?
They hated to admit defeat!
But a life was at stake. They had no other choice.

"Kimimaro, come back!"
Zhou Cheng grumbled inwardly. If you've got the guts, don't surrender! Let a few more of you die!
Once Kumogakure surrendered, he could no longer go for the kill.

"He nearly beat me to death!"
"Do you think he's strong?"
Gasps rang out!
He had nearly beaten Kimimaro to death!
Was that really true?
That single remark from Kimimaro silenced those people completely.
Meanwhile, those who had
