Chapter 141 Menma VS Hiruko
Standing atop a large tree, her short, black hair, covered in pockmarks, fluttered slightly in the wind, the hem of her long robe rustled in the breeze, and a cloak with a nine-faced Suvaha pattern fluttered behind her.
With his eyes closed, his immense perception surged forth like an invisible tide, engulfing the vast forests, trickling streams, and human towns.
With Kagura's Mind Eye operating at full power, the world in his consciousness lost its form, leaving only countless shimmering chakra points.
He was searching, meticulously filtering and capturing that familiar chakra mark among countless fragmented traces: the Explosion Release ninja of Iwagakure, Kari.
found it!
Finally, Kagura's sharp mind tracked down a patch of strange, scale-like rocks, seemingly covering the desolate mountains.
His chakra was as faint as a candle flickering in the wind.
A slight smile curved the corners of Mianma's mouth. His figure suddenly blurred, transforming into a phantom that was difficult to detect with the naked eye, and he sped off toward the direction his senses had locked onto.
On the other hand, Hiruko was in a good mood.
He rode on the back of the chimera, carrying the unconscious Hunter, and sped along a mountain path shrouded in a huge shadow.
The Explosion Release Kekkei Genkai on Kari's body was like sweet bait, tempting the greedy desire of the Oni-Garra Technique within him.
Soon, this power will become a part of him, adding another cornerstone to his path to becoming the "perfect immortal ninja"!
As he turned past a rock pillar shaped like a giant beast's fangs, the chimera he was sitting on suddenly stopped.
Suddenly, a figure stood on a strange rock ahead.
A long black robe billowed in the rising wind, and a white three-eyed fox mask covered most of his face, revealing only his short black hair.
The man stood there silently, as if he had existed on this rock since time immemorial, without a sound, yet he carried a sense of oppressive pressure that seemed to freeze the air, precisely blocking Hiruko's path of advance.
Beiliuhu's heart skipped a beat, and a chill ran down his spine.
A moment of alertness replaced his earlier ease as he sized up the uninvited guest.
That iconic black robe, and that white three-eyed fox mask—
A name that has stirred up a bloody storm in the ninja world in the past two years flashed through my mind instantly.
"Shura?" Hiruko's voice was dry, his red pupils slightly contracted, with a hint of tension that was barely perceptible.
Although he had been studying the Ghost Sprout Technique at the base, it didn't mean he was completely unaware of the outside world.
The attack on Konoha and Kumogakure by Shura, and the fact that Kumogakure even put a bounty of 70 million taels of silver on his head, is the biggest news in the ninja world in recent years!
Hiruko's mind raced as he tried to analyze why this scourge had appeared near his base.
The fact that the opponent could move freely and easily through the two major ninja villages showed his strength. Meanwhile, his own Oni-Garra Technique was not yet perfected, having only absorbed Storm Release and Dark Release. If they were to fight, the opponent's gaze was as tangible as a physical object, piercing through the mask and landing on Hiruko's youthful face.
He did not answer Hiruko's question, but instead clearly stated his purpose in a calm and matter-of-fact tone:
"I am very interested in your 'Oni-Garra Technique,' which can fuse with bloodline limits."
Shura's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable weight, clearly striking Hiruko's eardrums.
Hiruko's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints!
A chilling fear and rage instantly gripped him.
Oni-Garra Technique!
This is his biggest secret, the core of his ambition to become the "perfect immortal ninja"!
How could Shura know?!
"What did you say? I don't understand!" Hiruko almost screamed, trying to deny it, but the panic in his voice completely betrayed him.
A tremendous sense of crisis tightened around his heart like a cold, iron hand.
Without any hesitation, the instinct for survival overcame everything!
"Tear him apart!" Hiruko roared, his body leaping backward with Kari in tow, showing no intention of stopping.
The fearsome reputation and mystery surrounding Shura made Hiruko, who had not yet fused with multiple bloodline limits, extremely cautious!
"roar--!"
With a deafening roar, the chimera's massive body, accompanied by a foul stench, charged towards Menma like a moving mountain of flesh!
Faced with an attack that would terrify even an ordinary Jonin, Menma didn't even flinch.
He simply formed a mudra with his hands.
"Nine-faced Suvaha—"
The deep voice was like a chant.
A dark red magic circle rose beside him, forming a complex array. The Xuan character array flickered, carrying the salty, fishy scent unique to the sea and an overwhelming, unbearable pressure!
"Black Tortoise!"
"eye--!"
A long, drawn-out roar, seemingly from the ancient deep sea, echoed through the valley!
A ferocious figure, larger than any chimera and resembling a giant tortoise, burst forth from the Xuan character formation.
Its carapace resembled a mountain range of reefs, its head held high, and its cold, vertical pupils locked onto the charging chimera.
The chimera's bird claws lunged at Xuanwu's head, creating a piercing whistling sound.
Xuanwu neither dodged nor evaded, but suddenly swung its head, and its thick head slammed into the bird's claw with tremendous force!
boom!
The dull thud sounded like the beating of a drum.
The shockwave exploded, sending sand and stones flying across the ground.
The chimera let out a painful scream as its talons were knocked askew.
At the same time, the chimera hound's head opened its huge mouth, and its scorching flames spewed out like a torrent of lava towards the Xuanwu's massive body!
The Xuanwu's massive body lowered slightly, its four legs seemingly rooted to the ground.
Faced with the surging flames, it simply raised its head higher, opened its huge mouth, and a cold, viscous, high-pressure water flow containing terrifying impact force, like a flood breaking through a dam, formed a water dragon, and roared as it rushed towards the enemy!
Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!
Mouth!
Extremely hot flames and bone-chillingly cold high-pressure water cannons collided violently in mid-air!
An ear-piercing hissing sound of steam erupted instantly, and scalding white mist spread wildly in all directions like an explosion, instantly engulfing an area of tens of meters in radius.
The thick white fog churned violently, revealing only the faint, frantic flashes of blue and red light, and the constant, muffled thuds of impact.
The sound of scales tearing and the painful roars of wild beasts.
The battle between the two colossal creatures transformed the area into a chaotic battlefield.
Just as the roar of the collision between Xuanwu and the synthetic beast rang out, Hiruko's figure, taking advantage of the thick fog and water vapor, desperately darted towards a narrow mountain crevice on the side!
He had only one thought in his mind—to escape!
However, he had only taken two steps when everything went blurry before his eyes.
The figure appeared without warning in front of his escape route, blocking the entrance to the narrow mountain crevice. Hiruko could clearly feel two cold gazes piercing through the white three-eyed fox mask and fixing firmly on him. At that moment, he felt like prey locked on by a hunter.
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave." Mianma's voice was flat and expressionless, yet it carried a chilling undertone: "You haven't given me the things yet."
