Kapitel 45: Chp-45: Metal Forest vs. Bone Forest
In midair, Satoru Hyuga looked down at the newly sprouted white forest in the woods, his expression serious.
"The time left in Tyrant Mode is running out. I can't afford to drag this out any longer."
He took out a scroll, and with a puff of white smoke, a large number of kunai and shuriken appeared, floating in the air behind him.
Constructing electromagnetic propulsion, the kunai and shuriken slowly rotated, blue lightning arcs weaving through them. Instantly enveloping all the ninja tools, the lightning arcs formed a web.
Satoru raised his hand and swung it down.
In an instant, the floating ninja tools turned into electromagnetic cannons, shooting toward the ground at incredible speed, emitting a rumbling sound.
The electromagnetic cannons shattered a large number of bone spikes, and bone fragments mixed with dust flew everywhere.
Satoru frowned slightly. The view through his Byakugan did not show Kaguya Maro being hit as he had expected.
"Did he teleport away before the attack landed? What a troublesome ability."
The Dance of the Seedling Fern was the ultimate technique of the Shikotsumyaku, allowing members of the Kaguya clan to teleport to any location covered by the bone spikes.
Suddenly, a chill came from behind.
Satoru didn't turn around. The silver snake around his body quickly wriggled, transforming into a shield that blocked behind him.
Clang!
Just as the shield formed, a massive force impacted it, causing Satoru to stagger slightly and move forward a few steps in the air.
Behind him, Kaguya Maro's lower body was connected to a massive bone spike stretching over ten meters long. It appeared behind Satoru, with his right hand transformed into a large spiral bone spike, pressing hard against the silver shield.
"You really don't learn."
Satoru suppressed the churning blood in his chest, his eyes flashing coldly.
The silver shield suddenly split off a small metal snake, wriggling along the spiral bone spike towards Kaguya Maro's body.
His pupils shrank suddenly, and Kaguya Maro didn't hesitate, directly breaking off the bone spike on his right hand and quickly descending, re-entering the white forest.
Satoru tore open another scroll, and a large number of metal ninja tools appeared. Under the terrifying enhancement of electromagnetic propulsion, they turned into electromagnetic cannons and shot toward the ground.
Boom!
Many bone spikes were destroyed, revealing a messy ground. However, the white forest seemed to have a life of its own, quickly growing back and swallowing the gaps.
"Is he trying to buy time?"
Satoru squinted his eyes. The time left in Tyrant Mode was running out. If he didn't resolve this quickly, it would be troublesome.
He looked back towards the direction where Anko had fled, murmuring, "It's been long enough; Anko should be far away by now."
He then took a deep breath, no longer holding back, and chakra surged within him.
He pointed his right hand at the ground and clenched it tightly.
Immediately, the ground trembled as if by an unimaginable force. Accompanied by the shaking, a large metal forest burst from the ground, swallowing many trees in the forest and crazily attacking the white bone forest.
In the depths of the bone forest, Kaguya Maro's pupils trembled slightly.
"What kind of technique is this???"
Chakra surged wildly as he manipulated the bone forest to grow again, trying to contend with the metal forest. However, the moment it condensed, it was quickly shredded into bone fragments.
With a rumbling sound, the black metal forest completely suppressed the white bone forest, continuously pushing toward the centre.
In the air, Satoru, with his fist clenched, shook his head slightly.
That metal forest had almost drained all the metal particles within a ten-mile radius, compressing the gaps between particles and greatly enhancing their density.
Its hardness was far beyond what bones could compare to!
Suddenly, his face turned pale, and he staggered in the air.
"Damn, is the time for Tyrant Mode almost up?"
…
In the distance, Anko, who was fleeing, noticed the ground shaking and immediately turned her head.
She saw a large black metal spike breaking through the ground, colliding crazily with the white bone forest in the centre.
The battle between black and white was visible even from here.
"That is…"
Anko's pupils trembled. She saw a tiny figure wobbling in the air above the metal forest, seemingly about to fall at any moment.
"Satoru…"
She bit her lip, a tear sliding down her cheek. Instead of continuing to flee, she turned around and ran toward the figure in the air.
"Satoru, I won't abandon you. I swear…"
…
Boom…
In the air.
Satoru's face was pale, his teeth clenched, squeezing out the last of his chakra.
Below, the black metal forest had swallowed most of the bone forest, continually pressing toward the centre.
Seeing that he couldn't hold back the metal forest any longer, Kaguya Maro's expression turned frantic. His eyes were bloodshot, and he screamed raspily.
"If I'm going to die, you're coming with me. Come with me!"
The Kaguya clan's bloodline madness completely overtook him. He abandoned resisting the metal forest and gathered all his remaining chakra, causing the surrounding bone forest to grow rapidly, shooting toward Satoru in the air.
This was his death strike!
Without chakra to support it, the bone forest was consumed by the metal forest at an accelerated pace. In the blink of an eye, the metal spikes reached him, piercing his body and staining the surrounding white bones red.
He laughed, wildly laughed.
"Hahaha… You'll die too, you'll die too!"
The rapidly growing bone spikes reached Satoru. His pale face showed a trace of horror as his heavily exhausted body made it impossible to dodge. The silver snake quickly moved, covering his vital areas.
Splat!
Several bone spikes pierced his body, blood dripping from the white bones onto the metal forest below.
The blue lightning arcs between his hair disappeared. Satoru felt the intense pain envelop him as the Tyrant Mode ended.
At that moment, a thunderclap sounded in the grey sky. Satoru weakly looked up, feeling a cold raindrop hit his face.
Then came a second drop…
The rain washed away the blood on his face, taking away the last of his body's warmth.
"It's raining."
His eyes trembled slightly as he whispered, his voice barely audible.
The long-awaited heavy rain finally fell as the battle came to an end…
Crash…
The rain came fiercely, and in just a few breaths, the rain became heavy, the dense drops washing over the battlefield.
Beside the shattered bone forest, Kaguya Maro's body was pierced by the dense metal forest, already cold, with a crazed smile on his face.
Using the last of his strength, Satoru slowly moved his body off the bone spikes and fell from the air. The silver snake around him condensed into a fist-sized metal ball, falling into the rubble with him.
Pain… So much pain…
Cold… So cold…
In the heavy rain, Satoru's eyelids felt like they were filled with lead, becoming incredibly heavy.
He wanted to just sleep.
A familiar shout in his ear slowly opened his half-closed eyes.
"Satoru! I'm back!"
"Satoru! Where are you? I won't abandon you…"
"Satoru…"
In a daze, he felt someone lift him, stumbling through the pouring rain, a hint of warmth passing from their body to his.
"Satoru, I'm taking you home."
In the end, his consciousness fell into darkness.
