However, Torifu was the only one engrossed; Kumogakure's shinobi were utterly terrified! They had no idea what kind of monster this white-haired youth was!
But the more they panicked, the faster they died! This crimson lotus pond wasn't just beautiful to look at! The razor-sharp petals could easily sever a person's head. A panicking ninja, if not careful, would lose their life. And most importantly, the lotus flowers were controllable! Torifu waved his hand, and all the crimson lotuses seemed to come alive! They began to use their beautiful blossoms to ensnare the surrounding shinobi! Any ninja caught would be enveloped and crushed by the lotus's layers of petals! In the end, only some flesh and torn clothing remained. This scene could easily be called a living hell!
Kumogakure's shinobi had always been the most eager for war; they loved hearing the cries of others! Killing was commonplace for them, but now, everything was reversed! They were being slaughtered! That's right! Slaughtered! A massacre with no resistance, no chance of victory whatsoever. The white-haired youth stood in the very center of the lotus pond, protected by countless crimson lotuses. And he seemed to possess clairvoyance; anyone who used ninjutsu to attack the lotus flowers would be devoured first. For a moment, the shinobi were helpless! They could only desperately try to escape this place!
"Don't rush off, we haven't had enough fun yet." Torifu's ethereal voice echoed throughout the entire blood pond. Then, a portion of the crimson lotuses suddenly exploded. The flying fragments were incredibly powerful! Even steel swords couldn't withstand them! They easily broke steel swords before piercing into a ninja's chest. Originally, they might have had a chance to escape. But now, every exploding lotus sent fragments scattering in a circular range. With countless lotuses exploding together, the entire lotus pond had no blind spots.
Countless shinobi died at this moment, their corpses falling into the blood pond. Just a few minutes ago, it was a force of nine thousand! And now, only about two thousand remained. Seven thousand lives were taken by Torifu just like that. Calling him a god of death would not be an exaggeration!
Just as Torifu was about to initiate the next transformation, a gust of strong wind shattered most of the crimson lotuses! Then came a burst of fierce flames! Burning away a large portion of the blood pond! Seeing this, Torifu knew he had encountered a powerful opponent. However, he couldn't confirm exactly who it was, but judging by the power of this ninjutsu alone, this ninja's strength was absolutely not weak! And coincidentally, Torifu was looking for a stronger opponent.
Kumogakure's shinobi, seeing the shattered crimson lotuses, immediately fled beyond the blood pond's range! Those who escaped alive were weeping in agony. Only a few minutes had passed, yet they felt as if they had endured half a lifetime of torment! Every second was filled with dread, fearing they would be killed. And the corpses of their comrades underfoot pushed their minds to the brink of collapse!
"Good kid! How dare you massacre our Kumogakure shinobi like this! Are you ready to die?!"
"Are you ready?!"
Two voices! And the tones were very similar. By now, Torifu had already guessed who the newcomers were and immediately retracted the lotus flowers that were protecting him. Sure enough! Two men were running towards him from a distance! One with silver hair, one with golden hair, each holding a rope, a fan, a gourd, and a sword. These two were Kumogakure's top-tier powerhouses, known as the "Two Beams of Light in the Clouds," Kinkaku and Ginkaku!
Torifu raised an eyebrow. This was getting interesting now. He hadn't expected his opponents to be Kinkaku and Ginkaku. These two brothers were even stronger than the Raikage, and because they possessed the Sage of Six Paths' bloodline, they could freely control the Sage of Six Paths' tools.
Kinkaku and Ginkaku had only gone out for a stroll for a bit. As soon as they returned, they saw an entire unit of nine thousand people reduced to only a few stragglers! How could they accept this?!
"How shall we kill him, Ginkaku?"
"Let's put him in the gourd and turn him into pus, Kinkaku!"
"Let's do it, Ginkaku!"
"Alright, Kinkaku!"
As their words fell! The two brothers charged directly towards Torifu! Kinkaku wielded the Bashosen, unleashing violent whirlwinds and flames! The two merged, forming a massive fiery vortex! This scene struck Torifu as familiar; this was the same technique he had seen when he was younger, on a mission, encountering those two rogue shinobi from Sunagakure. He hadn't expected to encounter it here. However, what he was seeing now was completely different in nature from before! The ninjutsu released by the Sage of Six Paths' tools was naturally much stronger!
Torifu simultaneously formed hand signs for two different ninjutsu with his hands apart! Then finished them at the same time. "Water Release: Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave!" "Wind Release: Gale Palm!"
Torifu spat out a large volume of water from his mouth, then unleashed violent wind from his palms! The wind propelled the water current, making it collide with the fiery tornado! When the two met, the water was swiftly swept up by the whirlwind, and the flames within the tornado were extinguished. Torifu clenched his palm! The water immediately began to rotate against the direction of the whirlwind. In less than a minute, the whirlwind grew smaller and smaller, finally disappearing.
Torifu didn't wait. He sharply swung his hand! Four pure white chains shot out from his sleeves! Flying directly towards Kinkaku and Ginkaku!
"What is this, Kinkaku!"
"Dodge, Ginkaku!"
The brothers had never seen such strange ninjutsu. It resembled the Adamantine Chains of the Uzumaki clan but wasn't golden. In short, it was very sinister.
The two brothers dodged the chains, but they hadn't expected them to have a tracking effect! Ginkaku, who thought he was safe, was suddenly tightly bound by a chain that curved back. Kinkaku, seeing this, immediately went to rescue his brother, but was directly pierced by a chain from behind.
"Kinkaku!"
Just as Ginkaku was screaming his heart out, Kinkaku realized he was fine. There wasn't a hint of pain. And just as Kinkaku took it for granted, the chain that pierced him from Torifu's sleeve suddenly broke! The chain transformed into a cloud of mist and directly burrowed into Kinkaku's lungs! It was then that he understood the true power of this ninjutsu! Now, his lungs felt as if they had been scooped out and thrown into a glacier, feeling no warmth whatsoever. Furthermore, breathing was difficult; every breath brought in cold air, and even faint ice shards. It was as if his lungs had been frozen solid.
"How are you, Kinkaku?"
"Are you alright, Kinkaku!"
Kinkaku patted his brother's shoulder, indicating that he was fine. Torifu's ninjutsu naturally couldn't kill Kinkaku directly. After all, these were the brothers who had lived for two weeks inside the Nine-Tails' belly, and they were also descendants of the Sage of Six Paths' bloodline. Their bodies were incredibly tough and robust. Torifu merely wanted to weaken the two brothers first, to find an opportunity to kill them directly.
