The Kill

Shizuku stretched out his right arm, which bulged out, and something was moving inside. Shizuku pulled it out; it was the Chakra bestowed upon him by Yomi. Shizuku swallowed it, and his Chakra immediately surged.

Feeling himself growing stronger, Shizuku laughed strangely, "Gagaga, it worked... gaagaga, I'm getting stronger..." His body suddenly swelled up, transforming into a giant spider with three heads and eight arms.

Shizuku's six eyes radiated an evil killing intent as he stared intently at Uzumaki Hane, and he sneered, "Die!" His six arms slammed into the ground, causing countless flames to erupt and explode towards Uzumaki Hane.

Boom, boom, boom! Explosions rang out continuously, the ground shook, smoke and dust billowed, and debris flew everywhere. Shizuku laughed triumphantly as he saw Uzumaki Hane engulfed in the explosions. Suddenly Shizuku's six eyes caught a movement in the smoke. Shizuku's heart tightened, and he thought to himself, "Impossible, this is several times more powerful than the previous explosion, he can't be unharmed..." But in an instant, Uzumaki Hane burst out of the smoke.

Upon seeing the unharmed Uzumaki Hane, Shizuku roared, "If that's the case, then so be it!" Shizuku slammed his eight arms into the ground, causing rocks to rise up and envelop him completely. Then, Shizuku into a giant rock spider.

Feeling the power within him, Shizuku roared, "Let me destroy everything!" Six enormous rock arms slammed into the ground with a bang, causing the ground to explode and several huge cracks to appear, spreading to the front of Uzumaki Hane, and the entire ground was shattered.

Uzumaki Hane crouched slightly, pushed off with both feet, and the enormous reaction force propelled Uzumaki Hane into the air. Uzumaki Hane adjusted his posture mid-air and kicked down towards Shizuku. Upon seeing this, Shizuku's six enormous rocky arms suddenly extended and slammed towards Uzumaki Hane.

Unable to dodge in mid-air, Uzumaki Hane forcibly stopped his body and unleashed six punches in quick succession. Six Rock Fist appeared in the air and slammed into the incoming rocky arm. Bang, bang, bang! Uzumaki Hane's Rock Fist exploded, turning into countless lava fragments that scattered in all directions. At the same time, countless cracks appeared on Shizuku's six rocky arms.

Uzumaki Hane landed on the ground, Shizuku roared madly, "Die..." Six rock arms extended again, smashing down in front of Uzumaki Hane. Uzumaki Hane shouted, "Canine Red Lotus!" His hands transformed into two lava hounds, slamming into the two rock fists in front of him. The lava hounds were instantly destroyed, and at the same time, the cracked rock arms shattered. Shizuku's remaining four arms failed to hit Uzumaki Hane, crashing directly to the ground. Uzumaki Hane kicked the rock arms beside him with both feet, and with a crack, the rock arms shattered.

Shizuku roared, and the remaining three rock arms retracted. Uzumaki Hane rushed towards Shizuku. Naturally, Shizuku wouldn't let Uzumaki Hane get in front of him. The three rock arms kept smashing towards Uzumaki Hane, but Uzumaki Hane nimbly dodged them all, leaving only craters in the ground.

Uzumaki Hane threw six punches with both hands again, transforming them into six Rock Fist that formed two straight lines and rushed towards Shizuku. Shizuku's eyes narrowed as he sensed a deadly danger and crossed his arms in front of him.

Boom! With just three punches, Shizuku's remaining three rock arms were destroyed. Then, three Rock Fist slammed into Shizuku's chest. Crack, crack, crack! The rocks on Shizuku's body shattered, and he was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground, spitting out blood.

Uzumaki Hane arrived in front of Shizuku, who was on the verge of death. Uzumaki Hane forced Shizuku to reveal Shion whereabouts and ended his life. Then he rushed towards where Shion was.

Soon, they arrived at a cliff. Uzumaki Hane pushed aside the weeds and a cave appeared before them. The entrance to the cave was very small, only allowing one person to pass through at a time. Uzumaki Hane went straight in and after a few steps, the view suddenly opened up before them. Shion was lying on the ground, seemingly unconscious.

Uzumaki Hane approached her, knelt down, gently shook her shoulders, and called out, "Shion, wake up... Shion..."

Shion groggily opened her eyes and saw Uzumaki's large face right in front of her. She slapped him and screamed, "Ah, Uzumaki Hane, you rude brat, what do you think you're doing?"

Shion was just a defenseless little girl, Uzumaki Hane naturally wouldn't let her hit him. He reached out his right hand and grabbed her hand. Shion immediately struggled and screamed, "You rude bastard, what do you want to do? Taruho, someone, come here and grab this rude bastard!" Her other hand reached for Uzumaki Hane's face.

Uzumaki Hane grabbed Shion's other hand and said with a wry smile, "Calm down, Shion. Have you forgotten? You've been kidnapped. I'm here to rescue you."

Upon hearing this, Shion remembered that an intruder had entered her palace and that she had been knocked unconscious, after which she knew nothing more.

Shion calmed down a bit, then looked around with some fear and said, "Uzumaki Hane, where am I? Where is the intruder?"

Seeing that Shion had regained her senses, Uzumaki Hane smiled slightly and said, "It's alright, I've defeated the intruder. Let's go back now."

Shion said, "Okay, okay," and stood up from the ground.

"Let's leave then," said Uzumaki Hane. She led the way towards the cave entrance, but as soon as she took a step, she noticed Shion grabbing her clothes. Looking at Shion, Uzumaki Hane Uzumaki Hane saw fear in her eyes. She felt relieved; after all, Shion was still just a little girl. Uzumaki Hane reached out and stroked her hair, saying, "Don't be afraid, it's alright now."

Shion slapped Uzumaki Hane's hand away, pouted, and said, "I'm not scared at all."

Uzumaki Hane laughed, "Alright, alright, you're not scared? Let's go." With that, she walked towards the cave entrance.

Hearing Uzumaki Hane's words, which sounded like she was coaxing a child, Shion immediately shouted, "I'm not a child!" and followed. Uzumaki Hane carried Shion away from the cave. When they reached the cave entrance, Uzumaki Hane carried Shion on his back. Shion did not object, and the two prepared to head towards the palace.

"I feel like I've forgotten something," said Uzumaki Hane.

Shion said, "Forgot what? If you can't remember, it's not important. Let's go back quickly; I can't stand staying here."

Uzumaki Hane thought for a while, but couldn't recall forgetting anything, and said, "Never mind, it shouldn't be anything important." She then left with Shion on her back.

Just then, a figure came running over in a disheveled state. It was Taruho. Watching Uzumaki Hane's retreating figure, Taruho called out as she ran, "Uzumaki Hane, Lady Shion, wait for me!"
