Having learned the location of the Akatsuki from Orochimaru, Uya's gaze remained calm as he prepared to turn and leave with Haku.
But at that moment, a river that looked like acid suddenly surged out from the Kirigakure ahead, rushing directly towards Orochimaru and Uya.
"Um?"
Orochimaru's gaze sharpened slightly, and with a leap, he reached a high place.
Meanwhile, Uya lightly stomped his foot on the ground, and with a loud boom, a bottomless crack appeared in the ground in front of him. The acid liquid flowed directly into the crack without reaching Uya 'Uya feet.
"This ability... it was hers all along."
Seeing the flowing acid, Uya's heart stirred slightly, and he looked towards the distant Kirigakure.
Although the acidic river was flowing towards him and Orochimaru, it was not an attack on them, but merely the aftermath of the battle.
At this moment, in Kirigakure, a handsome young man of similar age to Haku, with two red dots between his eyebrows, leaped out of the acidic river and landed on a rooftop.
Opposite the boy was a girl with a near-perfect figure, her beautiful hair cascading down her shoulders, and her eyes as clear as jade. Although she appeared to be only about sixteen or seventeen years old, she possessed a very charming and alluring aura.
These two people are Kaguya Kimimaro, the future Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi.
Sensing the battle unfolding around them from afar, Uya wore an expression of keen interest, muttering, "These two fighting is quite interesting."
On the other side, Orochimaru was also looking down at Kirigakure from a high place. His eyes had even transformed into the Mangekyo Mangekyō Sharingan, allowing him to see the battle within Kirigakure with unparalleled clarity.
Orochimaru had long been paying attention to Kimimaro, Mei Terumi, who possessed two Kekkei Genkai, was also among Orochimaru's subjects Orochimaru interest.
"A battle between Kekkei Genkai, this is a rare sight indeed."
Orochimaru also wore an expression of great interest as he watched from his vantage point.
Although Kimimaro was young, as a member of the Kaguya Clan, he was a born warrior, and his fighting skills seemed to be ingrained in his bones, something he was born with.
He is also the most unique member of the Kaguya Clan.
"A boy who can't be melted, he's quite likable. But since you started the rebellion, your fate was sealed. What a pity."
Mei Terumi extended her slender finger and gently wiped away a trace of unidentified liquid from the corner of her mouth, revealing a seductive expression.
Kimimaro, however, remained completely unmoved. Regardless of his age or personality, he would never be swayed by Mei Terumi's charm. Once in battle mode, his mind was absolutely focused.
Many ninjas need to go through countless battles to enter this state. Uya only achieved this state during the Second Shinobi World War, when he teamed up with Hatake Sakumo to fight the Tsuchikage Ōnoki.
For Kimimaro, who possesses combat skills ingrained in his very being, this state also seems to be innate.
laugh!!
Kimimaro crossed his arms in front of his chest, and terrifying, white bones instantly pierced his skin, transforming into two extremely sharp bone spikes, which then suddenly charged towards Mei Terumi.
" Boil Release! Boil Release: Skilled Mist Technique!"
Faced with Kimimaro's attack, Mei Terumi instantly abandoned her charming expression and became extremely serious. With her hands Hand Seals, she suddenly opened her mouth.
Silently, a strange, acidic mist suddenly spewed from its mouth.
Kimimaro's gaze darkened slightly. He had already suffered from this move before, so he certainly wouldn't recklessly rush in now. This acid mist moved very slowly, and with his speed, he could easily avoid it.
Having dodged the cloud of acidic mist, Kimimaro continued charging towards Mei Terumi, seemingly intent on close combat.
Mei Terumi is skilled in Kekkei Genkai and various Ninjutsu, so she wouldn't easily engage in close combat with Kimimaro. Seeing Kimimaro charging towards her, she retreated while Hand Seals again.
" Lava Release! Lava Release: Melting Apparition Technique!"
Splash!
This time, what sprayed out of Mei Terumi's mouth was a corrosive liquid that swept directly towards Kimimaro over a very wide area.
That's why Mei Terumi adjusted her direction and released the attack towards the outside of the village; that's why Orochimaru and Uya just encountered the attack.
As Mei Terumi continuously spewed out acid mist and acid liquid, Uya's lips twitched slightly.
"She can spray both acid mist and acid liquid; whoever marries her will have a truly unforgettable experience."
" Kimimaro is not bad either. It seems that bones can grow all over his body, and his combat power is also very strong, although it is still a bit inferior to the Quake Release."
cough!
Wait a minute, something seems off.
Feeling his thoughts drifting in a strange direction, Uya coughed inwardly to gather his attention and continue watching the battle between Kimimaro and Mei Terumi.
Kimimaro was quite troubled by Mei Terumi's two moves. Although even a slight touch wouldn't instantly kill him, he certainly didn't want to be touched.
Kimimaro was thus forced to retreat, and as he did so, he pointed his ten fingers at Mei Terumi.
Shikotsumyaku! Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets!
Whoosh!
The terrifying finger bones shot out suddenly like bullets, even producing an extremely sharp hissing sound, clearly possessing extremely strong penetrating power.
However, Mei Terumi on the other side remained unmoved by Kimimaro's Shikotsumyaku, continuing to spew out a bunch of acid, then pulled out a Kunai and casually flicked it.
After the finger bone passed through Mei Terumi's acid, its speed decreased significantly. As it continued to fly towards Mei Terumi, it was easily blocked by Mei Terumi's Kunai.
bite!!
The finger bones, corroded by the acid, shattered upon impact with the Kunai, a sight that caused Kimimaro, watching from afar, to lower his gaze slightly, a hint of apprehension in his eyes.
"Since you're here, don't run away so easily. That's not very manly... Ah, I forgot you're just a kid."
Kimimaro Mei Terumi he retreated, a slight smile playing on her lips, before suddenly chasing after him.
Kimimaro was completely bewildered by Mei Terumi's words. At only six years old, he couldn't help but wonder, what exactly is this "manly aura"...?
Although he couldn't understand what "masculine charisma" meant, Kimimaro knew that the woman in front of him was very strong and that defeating her would be very difficult, so he was extremely serious.
However, facing the powerful Mei Terumi, Kimimaro was only six years old at the time, could only retreat again and again, and was chased by Mei Terumi all the way out of Kirigakure. (To be continued.)
