Renye and Kinakaku’s gazes simultaneously fell on the Word Spirit.
“Hehehe, I got it!” Kinakaku sneered.
He raised the Seven-Star Sword, intending to cut the Word Spirit, and Renye, seeing this, swung his Tachi to block him.
“Don’t let him cut the Word Spirit!”
Hiruzen Sarutobi held the Adamantine Staff, blocking in front of his Word Spirit, his face showing vigilance, determined not to let the opponent get close.
Renye, Homura Mitokado, and Uchiha Kagami surrounded Kinakaku, preventing him from approaching Hiruzen’s Word Spirit.
Kinakaku’s pupils suddenly constricted, and for the first time, a look of shock appeared on his face.
The hand holding the Seven-Star Sword unconsciously tightened, and his expression grew increasingly grim.
“Impossible… This is clearly the Hidden Cloud Village’s top secret!” His voice was filled with disbelief: “How could you possibly know the weakness of the Six Paths Tools?”
From the beginning, based on the performance of Renye and the others, he had vaguely guessed whether they knew information about the Ninja Tools…
Now he was finally certain: these guys really did know the information!
Renye did not answer, but slowly raised the Tachi in his hand; the blade glinted blindingly in the sunlight, causing Kinakaku to instinctively squint.
“Do you think knowing information means you can defeat me?”
With the Word Spirit restraining Hiruzen Sarutobi, he only had to face the attacks of three people; he didn’t believe he would lose to them…
Renye didn’t give him a chance to speak; the three of them launched their attacks simultaneously!
Renye’s raised Tachi traced a deadly arc in the air, aiming straight for Kinakaku’s throat.
Uchiha Kagami preemptively released a Fire Release to block Kinakaku’s escape route.
Homura Mitokado’s Earth Release, on the other hand, caused sharp stone pillars to erupt from the ground, restricting Kinakaku’s movement space.
Their division of labor was clear, and their cooperation was seamless.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was about to join the battle but saw the Word Spirit behind him and finally sighed.
Only when the Word Spirit dissipated could he go to assist.
If he left and Kinakaku cut the Word Spirit, things would become troublesome.
Although he couldn’t leave, he still had a way to help Renye and the other two.
“Enma, extend!” The Adamantine Staff in Hiruzen Sarutobi’s hand suddenly extended, thrusting towards Kinakaku in the distance.
…
Kinakaku roared, sweeping his Seven-Star Sword horizontally, blocking Renye’s fatal blow.
He immediately turned to cut through the Fireball Technique, then leaped up to dodge the Earth Spikes.
Just as he leaped into mid-air, he was suddenly poked in the back by a staff, sending him flying uncontrollably.
“Damn it!” Kinakaku gritted his teeth, glaring venomously at Hiruzen Sarutobi, wishing he could devour him alive.
This was the second time this guy had ambushed him successfully…
If it weren’t for someone blocking him, he would have cut the Word Spirit and sealed it long ago.
“I’ll remember this debt!”
Kinakaku landed on the ground in a disheveled state, glared fiercely at Hiruzen Sarutobi, and suddenly plunged the Seven-Star Sword into the ground.
A violent Nine-Tailed Chakra erupted around him, forcing the three to temporarily retreat.
He realized that since they knew the information, the Six Paths Tools would be difficult to pose a threat to them.
Especially after losing his long-range weapon, the Basho Fan, he was completely suppressed by them…
Since the Six Paths Tools were ineffective, he would fully utilize his Tailed Beast Transformation!
With a earth-shattering roar, crimson Tailed Beast Chakra erupted from his body like a volcano.
His skin was covered by the Tailed Beast cloak, and six huge Chakra tails wildly swayed behind him.
His entire body swelled several times in size, muscles bulging, and a pair of murderous beast eyes locked onto them.
“You will all be buried with Ginkaku!”
The fully Tailed Beast Transformation Kinakaku had lost his human form; he opened his gaping maw, and a jet-black Tailed Beast Ball was rapidly forming in his mouth.
“A Tailed Beast Ball?!” Renye’s Three-Tomoe Sharingan spun wildly, immediately identifying that Kinakaku was forming a Tailed Beast Ball. “Scatter!”
He hadn't expected Kinakaku, who only possessed Nine-Tailed Chakra, to be able to use the incredibly destructive Tailed Beast Ball.
Was it a skill unlocked from years of using Nine-Tailed Chakra?
The three instantly leaped in different directions.
The next second, the Tailed Beast Ball was complete and landed on their previous location, erupting with a roar.
As the smoke and dust cleared, a deep crater dozens of meters in diameter appeared on the ground.
Shrapnel lifted by the shockwave scattered like bullets; Renye quickly raised the Basho Fan to block.
“Wind Release: Divine Gale!”
The violent Wind Release Chakra collided with the flying shrapnel, producing a piercing explosion.
Uchiha Kagami’s Three-Tomoe Sharingan intently watched Kinakaku’s movements, then suddenly shouted: “Front left!”
Homura Mitokado immediately understood, forming hand signs quickly: “Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!”
A thick earth wall happened to block Kinakaku’s sweeping tail; although it was instantly shattered, it bought them valuable time to dodge.
“It’s useless!” The fully Tailed Beast Transformation Kinakaku let out an inhuman roar, and his six tails, like giant pythons, simultaneously struck the three.
Renye tried to counterattack with his Tachi while dodging, but the Tailed Beast cloak’s defense was too strong; the blade couldn’t even reach Kinakaku’s body.
Uchiha Kagami’s Sharingan was already bloodshot; he barely managed to predict Kinakaku’s attacks, but the Three-Tomoe’s insight proved inadequate against the Tailed Beast Transformation Kinakaku.
“Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique!” Kagami seized a gap to activate his Ninjutsu; the fire dragon flew straight at Kinakaku’s face.
Kinakaku ran on all fours, easily dodging the fire dragon, ignoring Uchiha Kagami, and instead focused his gaze on Renye.
He absolutely had to kill this guy who caused Ginkaku’s death today!
“Die!”
He leaped suddenly, his giant claw, imbued with destructive power, smashed down on Renye.
Renye’s Three-Tomoe Sharingan spun at high speed, capturing Kinakaku’s attack trajectory in the nick of time.
He quickly dodged the attack and instructed his comrades.
“Kagami, left side interference!”
“Homura, block the ground!”
Uchiha Kagami understood instantly, forming hand signs: “Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique!”
Homura Mitokado simultaneously performed, “Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld!”
The fire dragon flew straight at Kinakaku’s face, forcing him to divert his attention to block, while the swamp beneath his feet restricted his movement speed.
Kinakaku had lost his sanity now; it was definitely the best time to kill him!
If he were to calm down, there might never be another chance…
Renye seized this momentary opening, his figure like lightning as he used a low-level Flying Thunder God Slash; the Tachi in his hand stabbed directly at Kinakaku’s upper left chest.
Even with Kinakaku’s Chakra cloak, the powerful inertia could break through the defense!
If he succeeded in hitting, the battle would be over!
Kinakaku had just blocked the attacks of the two when he saw Renye attacking him at extreme speed; he tried to dodge but found his feet stuck in the mud.
It’s over!
He looked at the rapidly approaching blade and closed his eyes in despair.
“I got him!” Renye’s face showed excitement.
Just then, a rough voice suddenly rang out from a distance.
“Hell Stab: Four-Finger Nukite!”
PS: I suddenly remembered that the Third Raikage died in the Third Great Ninja War; before writing this, I thought he died in the Second, so I had him appear early. But then I remembered it was the Third War, leading to an age discrepancy… Now that I’ve written so much, I can’t change it anymore. Please bear with it, everyone, and don’t mind the age (doge emoji).
