章節 530: 495. Kabuto’s Pawns Part-2
"It's the wish of Lord Kabuto!" Sakon casts a gaze toward Tayuya and then ignores her.
Tch…
Tayuya clicks her tongue.
"You bastard! Just because you were the earliest to join the experiment, you got to be the leader."
"Tayuya, that's not very girl-like." Jirōbō chides her.
"Shut up, fatso!" She snorts at him and turns her attention to the Allied Shinobi force in front of her and licks her tongue.
"I will rip them apart into pieces!"
She picks up her flute and continues to play a deathly melody.
Riip… Slash…
The shinobis fall under her illusion and slash each other to pieces.
Fwoosh… Swoosh…
Tayuya hurriedly jumps from the rock platform she is standing on and dodges an extremely small flying projectile.
BOOM…
The rock platform shatters into pieces and a crater form in its place.
"What was that?"
The Sound Four instantly enters into full alert and looks at their surroundings.
Kimimaro lowers his fingers.
"Looks like they have some skills! Then I will pick them as my opponents."
He slowly walks out of the nearby forest and reveals himself.
Huh!
Kidōmaru is the first Sound Four member to sense his presence.
Slick…
He immediately stretches the string of his longbow and spits out an organic fluid from his mouth. The fluid hardens into a golden arrow. Kidōmaru nocks the arrow on the bow and points it towards Kimimaro.
Swish…
He pulls the bowstring to its extreme and fires the arrow.
Shoom… Boom…
The arrow breaks the sound barrier and drills toward Kimimaro at supersonic speed.
Whoosh…
Kimimaro raises his hand and catches the arrow with his bare hands before it could strike his face.
Wham…
The powerful momentum behind the arrow generates a shockwave around Kimimaro and cracks the ground.
"H-he caught Kidōmaru's arrow." Tayuya points towards Kimimaro with surprise.
Ah…
Even Kidōmaru is surprised by Kimimaro's action.
"Huh… so what!"
Kidōmaru snaps his finger, and the arrowhead explodes into several shrapnels.
"Dodge this!" He snickers.
Boom…
Another dust cloud covers Kimimaro's face. The bombardment of several shrapnels destroys the surrounding trees.
"That's what he gets for acting cool!" Tayuya harrumphs.
"This technique is not bad!"
Kimimaro slowly walks out of the dust cloud.
Bones retract from around his face and reenter his body.
"Leave him to me!"
After the initial surprise, Jirōbō clenches his fist and charges toward Kimimaro.
"Arhat Mountain Crushing Fist,"
He accumulates the entire weight and momentum of his body into his fists and discharges a powerful force into the form of a fist.
BANG…
Jirōbō punches Kimimaro's face with his powerful move. A smug expression appears on his face.
Shoom…
The ground beneath him collapses and a hurricane of dust and debris rises at his position.
"Your punch isn't even half bad as big brother Izuna!"
Kimimaro's calm voice echoes in their ears.
Whoosh…
A gentle gust of wind blows away the dust cloud to reveal Kimimaro and Jirōbō. Kimimaro is calmly holding the trembling fist of Jirōbō in his palm.
"W-what?"
Tayuya, Sakon, Ukon, and Kidōmaru trembles at the sight.
"T-that's the full power punch of Jirōbō. It's strong enough to even shatter a small hill. H-how… how did a scrawny guy like him block his punch?"
"Now it's my turn!"
Kimimaro clenches his left hand.
Pop… snap…
Popping and snapping sound echoes through his left hand. A layer of bone armor covers the left side of his body.
Bang…
Kimimaro stomps his foot on the ground to gather strength in his attack.
Hah…
He extends his left hand back to generate momentum in his fist.
BAM…
Kimimaro squarely punches Jirōbō in his stomach.
Bang…
The ground beneath their feet explodes and Jirōbō is sent flying at an incredible speed.
Huh…
Kimimaro silently stares at his fist.
'Looks like he can absorb chakra. The chakra in my fist was weakened!"
BOOM…
Jirōbō rolls through the ground after Kimimaro's punch. He slams through several rock boulders and finally stops after Kidōmaru expels a gigantic spiderweb from his mouth to halt his body.
"Jirōbō!"
The Sound Four quickly surround the haggard Jirōbō. There is a bleeding fist-size hole in Jirōbō's stomach and all his internal organs are in a mess.
"He is in quite a sorry state!" Sakon clicks his tongue.
He places his palm on Jirōbō's stomach and manipulates the chakra and surrounding flesh of Jirōbō's body to heal his wound.
Ugh…
Jirōbō spits out a mouthful of blood and slowly stands up.
"Thanks for the help, Sakon!"
He glares at Kimimaro and clenches his fist.
"This guy is bad news. We can't fight against him in One-Vs-One battle. We have to use our formation."
"Looks like he really messed you up!" Tayuya glances at Jirōbō from top to bottom.
"Then let's take him down together!" Kidōmaru licks his lips.
Whoosh…
They quickly jump back and enter into a formation.
Swish… swish…
All four of them make a series of hand signs.
"Sound Four: Four-Fold Enhancement Formation,"
A gigantic fuinjutsu formation appears beneath their feet. A purple barrier rises around them and covers the surrounding area, enveloping Kimimaro within it.
"Hehe… it's over!"
-----------------------------
On the other front of the coastal battlefield,
Tap… tap…
A white one-eyed masked figure steps onto the battlefield.
"This body is truly…"
The excited voice of white Zetsu echoes as he stares at the battlefield ahead.
A heavy mist covers the battlefield on his left side. The occasional attacks of the Second Mizukage and the struggle of the allied Shinobi force reflect in his vision.
He glances to his right and notices the group of Edo Shinobis fighting against the Allied Shinobi Force.
The white masked figure glances to his front and notices several allied shinobi fighting against the army of White Zetsu soldiers. A few capable shinobis are also resisting the attacks of Orochimaru and Kabuto's test subjects.
"Heh… All of them look busy. Which means it's time for me to make my move?"
Swish… swish…
The white figure makes a series of hand signs.
"Mokuton: World of Tree Hands Jutsu,"
The white Tobi Zetsu slams his palm on the ground.
Rumble… rumble…
The surrounding ground trembles and several wooden hands erupt from the ground.
The sudden commotion startles the shinobis in the area.
"Oye… Oye… What's that?" A few shinobis gulp their saliva in fear.
The rampage of the Gedo Statue from yesterday is still fresh in their mind.
"That's the… that's the Wood Release of the First Hokage. But how's that possible?" The shinobis widen their eyes in fear.
"Look… someone is controlling those giant hands." A shinobi points towards the figure of Tobi Zetsu standing beneath the Wooden hands.
"Where?!"
Other shinobis narrow their eyes to glance at the figure.
"Byakugan!"
One of the Hyuga shinobi activates his Byakugan to inspect the white figure.
"This chakra… He is an enemy." The Hyuga shinobi quickly relays the information to the rest of the group.
Haah…
The Zetsu Tobi smirks and controls the giant wooden hands.
Bang… bang…
The giant hands smash several shinobis to paste and wipe out an entire chunnin platoon in an instant.
"Fire Release: Blazing Heat Breath,"
Several shinobis from the Sarutobi clan take a deep breath and launch one Fire release jutsu after another.
The giant wooden hands shrug off a few Fire Release Jutsu but the sheer numbers of attacks slowly burn them down to cinders.
"Inform the HQ." One of the captains shouts out his lungs.
Back at the HQ,
"What?!" Inoichi shouts in surprise.
"There is an enemy that can use Wood Release Jutsu! But how's that possible?"
"No, there is." Shikaku shakes his head.
"There are two possibilities. Either the Akatsuki has reincarnated the First Hokage or they must have brain-washed Yamato to fight for them."
"It's not possible to reincarnate the First Hokage ever since he was sealed by Izuna." Minato shakes his head.
"So, it's the second possibility. But his chakra signature doesn't match with Yamato." Inoichi expresses his confusion.
"Perhaps he is a byproduct of Kabuto's creation." Shikaku remarks.
"Also, he is quite a dangerous figure and almost all of our elite shinobis are currently in battle." Shikaku expresses his concern.
Hmm…
"No, there is still someone we can rely on. Help me contact her." Minato turns to Inoichi.
"Yes, Lord Minato!"
-----
Swoosh…
A figure flickers through the forest near the coastal battlefield,
Tch…
"Another of these pesky white bastards!" The figure pauses in its footsteps and glances at the several white Zetsu.
"I am tired of them!"
Haah…
Several fuinjutsu runes erupt from the figure's body and envelop the white Zetsu around.
"Release!"
The figure makes a ram hand sign and activates the seals.
Shuah…
Crimson flames burst forth from the sealing runes and engulfs the White Zetsu.
"Aaah… so hot!"
The White Zetsu shrieks in pain and rolls around on the ground to douse the fire. However, the fire continues to envelop and incinerate them.
A few seconds later, the white Zetsu turns into ashes and a gust of wind blows away their remains.
"Aah… this chakra!"
Suddenly, sensory signals flicker across her senses.
"Karin!" Minato's voice echoes in her head.
"Dad!"
