The Katsuyu slowly released its Chakra, and the two wounds gradually healed.
A brief silence fell over the battlefield.
The three of them stared at the enormous black Kirin, unsure of where to begin.
The black Kirin took a step forward, crushing a white puppet to pieces. With a flick of its tail, it sent Minato Namikaze, who was lying on the ground, into Kirin body.
" Lady Katsuyu, could you please send this boy into the Shikkotsu Forest first?"
"No problem, Lord Shinsei." The Katsuyu sent out another small Katsuyu to crawl onto the unconscious Minato.
As a cloud of smoke dissipated, the Minato had vanished.
Seeing that his future "henchman" was safe, Shinsei turned his gaze to the Third Kazekage in the sky.
Hand Seals, and a black beam of light shot out from his mouth.
Storm Release: Severing Wave!
A black beam of light Issen by, slicing the Third Kazekage in half from mid-air. The Third Kazekage, falling from the sky, turned into scattered Iron Sand.
The Storm Release: Severing Wave is powerful, but its drawback is that the Hand Seals are too slow. It doesn't aim to kill the Third Kazekage in one fell swoop, but rather to deprive him of air superiority.
With a powerful leap, the Storm Release: Kirin pushed off with its feet, its massive claws slamming towards Chiyo.
The three white puppets stacked together continued to unleash the Three Treasures Vacuum Crushing.
A powerful gust of air swept up water droplets and broken trees from the ground, drawing them towards the three puppets. The black Kirin merely swayed slightly, opened its mouth, and spat out a thin jet of water that circled around the puppets, severing all the chakra Chakra Threads surrounding them.
With a slam of the giant claw, the puppets disintegrated, turning into piles of rubble.
Who in their right mind plays with puppets?
Chiyo's face was ashen. All of her puppets had been destroyed by Shinsei. Even if they could be temporarily reassembled using Chakra Threads, their power would be greatly reduced.
Shinsei looked at Chiyo and sneered inwardly. Don't blame him for bullying an old man; he was just a child himself, and besides, Chiyo was the weakest of the three.
The black Kirin leaped forward and slammed towards Chiyo. Chiyo ran away quickly, with the black Kirin chasing closely behind, smashing the trees that blocked her path to pieces.
The massive triangular structure formed from Iron Sand spun rapidly and hurtled towards the black Kirin. The Kirin raised its claws and slammed them onto the Iron Sand triangle.
With a loud bang, a large amount of water splashed out, leaving the surrounding grass riddled with holes.
The triangular Iron Sand fragment scattered into a mass of Iron Sand, and the black Kirin lost half of its claw.
As Chakra slowly flowed into Shinsei's feet, the Storm Release: Storm Release: Kirin was restored to its original state.
The Kirin spat out another thin column of water, chasing Chiyo, cutting huge deep trenches into the earth and trees.
It's not that Shinsei only chased after Chiyo; the other two were too fast, and using Ninjutsu to pursue them was just a waste of Chakra.
A blonde woman in armor leaped into the arena and Hanzo of the Salamander into a splash of water.
"How dare you bully my disciple, Tsunade's student!" Tsunade swung her golden ponytail, her eyebrows furrowed. "Then you're not leaving!"
After saying that, she stomped her foot on the ground, and a huge crack extended from the bottom of her foot all the way to the Third Kazekage.
The Third Kazekage leaped out of the rift, a long sword extending dozens of meters out, which he swung at lightning speed.
Orochimaru took the Kusanagi Sword from his mouth, gripped it in his hand, and relentlessly slashed at the Third Kazekage's figure.
A large orange Toad appeared in the arena, and the white-haired man above him and the Toad simultaneously Hand Seals.
Gamabunta spewed out a large amount of oil from his mouth, Jiraiya spat out a giant fireball.
Fire Style: Fire Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet!
A massive sea of fire raged, sending up huge amounts of water vapor.
They've finally arrived! Shinsei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the four newcomers.
Kenta leaped onto the back of the Kirin, Shinsei made an opening to let him in.
"How are you? Are your injuries serious?" Kenta asked with concern. Shinsei shook his head and continued staring at the sea of fire, "I'm fine."
Click! A soft sound reached Shinsei's ears, and he sensed in his mind that Kenta behind him had suddenly opened his mouth!
grass!
Shinsei turned around and saw Kenta open his mouth wide, releasing a large amount of black smoke!
Shinsei cursed inwardly, reached out with his right hand to cover Hinata's nose, and with his left hand, a black Chakra sword extended from between two fingers, slicing Kenta in two from behind him.
Kenta grinned silently, his mouth full of black smoke rapidly dissipating, Shinsei felt a burning pain on his skin.
Kenta's body, broken in two, turned white.
It's White Zetsu again!
Shinsei dispersed the Kirin, grabbed Hinata's arm, and led her step by step away from the poisonous smoke.
A stinging pain shot through my skin, my eyes felt like they were on fire, and everything in front of me became blurry.
Such potent poison!
So that's where the real killer move was!
Hinata gritted her teeth and endured the pain, whispering, "I'm sorry, I didn't notice it."
Shinsei shook his head. "It's none of your business."
The Byakugan is not omnipotent. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, not all White Zetsu could be detected by the Byakugan. More often, it required Naruto's Golden Body's Malice Perception to find them.
Tsunade quickly ran over to check on their injuries.
Amidst the sea of fire, the Third Kazekage grabbed Chiyo and, flapping his enormous wings, flew away into the distance.
Shinsei closed his eyes, sensing the location of the Third Kazekage, Hand Seals, quickly completed seven seals, and spat out a black beam of light.
Storm Release: Severing Wave!
The slender beam of light arrived beside the Third Kazekage almost instantly, slicing Chiyo in two before continuing its Third Kazekage towards him.
The Third Kazekage swiftly twisted his body, dodging the fatal blow, grabbed Chiyo's severed body, and sped away.
Although his eyesight had become blurry, Shinsei's reconnaissance Ninjutsu, Heavenly Net, continued to operate.
"Don't move!" Tsunade shouted, quickly Hand Seals to create a Shadow Clone, and the two clones Hand Seals simultaneously.
The Delicate Illness Extraction Technique!
The raging fire was still burning fiercely, Hanzo of the Salamander had long since disappeared.
Kenta rushed over from a distance, carrying a white figure in his hand.
" Kenta- senpai, please wait a moment." Orochimaru stopped Kenta from approaching and only allowed him to come closer after verifying his true identity by pricking his blood.
Upon hearing that the white monster had transformed into his own appearance and ambushed Shinsei, Kenta slapped himself across the face.
Shinsei grabbed his hand and stopped him.
Jiraiya jumped down from Gamabunta's head, walked over to Shinsei, and asked, " Shinsei, have you found my apprentice Minato Namikaze?"
" Lord Jiraiya, I've already taken Minato to Shikkotsu Forest. I'll bring him back later."
Jiraiya Tsunade's furrowed brow, Jiraiya couldn't help but ask, "Is the problem serious?"
Tsunade lifted Shinsei's eyelids, held them up in front of his eyes, and examined them carefully. "The toxins in his body aren't a big problem, not serious, but the damage to his eye lens is difficult to recover from."
Jiraiya was somewhat surprised. "Even Tsunade can't cure it?"
Tsunade continued examining Hinata's eyes, "The lens cells in the eye have a very difficult time recovering through growth!"
"What should we do then?" Jiraiya was dumbfounded. Shinsei and Hinata were still so young; were they going to go blind in the future?
"Hehehe," Orochimaru chuckled, a hint of amusement in his voice, "Then of course, we'll get new eyes!"
