"What?!" Aburame Ryoma had vaguely heard Sōkyū Hatake's words and was momentarily puzzled.
"I said... I love things like yours that are all connected! Wind Scar!" Sōkyū Hatake gripped Bakusaiga with both hands, then slashed fiercely at the swarm before him.
Buzzz!!!
In an instant, five green Wind Scars engulfed the swarm.
"You think that will let you break through my swarm? Even if it's sword energy, my Kikaichū can still absorb it!" Aburame Ryoma laughed loudly. This sort of sword energy was food for his Kikaichū, too.
After all, anyone capable of becoming Danzo's right-hand man certainly wouldn't be weak, especially someone who could team up with Orochimaru.
"Then watch closely and see what a perfect matchup looks like!" Sōkyū Hatake said with a grin. Although the lingering power of Wind Scar was fading, he wasn't anxious at all. He had even put away his sword and sat on the ground to rest.
"Giving up already? Get him!" Aburame Ryoma was now utterly certain that Sōkyū Hatake had stopped trying. Otherwise, he wouldn't have acted this way.
"Giving up? Just watch!" With that, Sōkyū Hatake even closed his eyes.
Crack, crack!
Just then, streaks of green light began appearing on the Kikaichū that had first touched Wind Scar, then quickly began spreading to the surrounding Kikaichū connected by threads!
Crack, crack!!!
As more and more Kikaichū received the green light, the entire cave was soon illuminated in green, and masses of insect corpses began raining down onto the ground.
"No, no, no! How is this possible?!" Aburame Ryoma watched the scene before him, on the verge of breaking down. To the Aburame Clan, insects were their closest companions, something they had nurtured over countless days and nights.
For so many of these Kikaichū to die at once was something
