Not a single scratch marred Kazama's body.
Such terrifying defensive power left even the usually composed Kimimaro quietly stunned.
"Kimimaro, let me show you my Shikotsumyaku: Tsubaki no Mai!"
"How is that possible?!"
Kimimaro's jaw dropped as Kazama drew a bone from his left arm to use as a weapon, launching a relentless series of attacks.
As the sole inheritor of the Shikotsumyaku kekkei genkai, Kimimaro was utterly dumbfounded.
But with no time to think, he had to counterattack.
"Shikotsumyaku: Karamatsu no Mai!"
*Ding! Successfully absorbed Shikotsumyaku: Karamatsu no Mai. Congratulations, Host, you've obtained Shikotsumyaku: Teshi Sendan!"
*Ding! Absorb five more ninjutsu to obtain Nine Dragons Thunder Flame!"
"Kimimaro, your Shikotsumyaku isn't quite the real deal. Check out my Shikotsumyaku: Teshi Sendan!"
"What the—?! Is this guy even human?!"
Seeing Kazama use his own signature moves—and with deadly precision—Kimimaro was both shocked and furious.
"I refuse to believe you can block this! Shikotsumyaku: Yatsume no Mai!"
Kimimaro formed hand seals, and a sharp bone spike erupted from the ground, rocketing toward Kazama's head at blinding speed.
Against an ordinary person, it would've been instant death.
But in the face of Kazama's Volcanic Rock Flame—an absolute defense—no attack stood a chance.
*Ding! Successfully absorbed Shikotsumyaku: Yatsume no Mai. Congratulations, Host, you've obtained Shikotsumyaku: Ultimate Technique, Sawarabi no Mai!"
*Ding! Absorb four more ninjutsu to obtain Nine Dragons Thunder Flame!"
"It still didn't work?!"
Seeing his attack fail to harm Kazama, even the unflappable Kimimaro started to panic.
"Kimimaro, now's not the time to lose your cool! Shikotsumyaku: Ultimate Technique, Sawarabi no Mai!"
When Kimimaro saw Kazama unleash his own ultimate technique, cold sweat poured down his face.
As the original user, he knew all too well how terrifying this jutsu was.
Before Kimimaro could recover from his shock, the ground for miles around sprouted countless sharp bone spikes, forming a chilling forest of bones.
It was a sight that sent shivers down the spine.
"Did I fail…? Orochimaru-sama, I did my best!"
Just as Kimimaro braced for death, Kazama abruptly halted his final killing blow.
"You!"
Kimimaro was baffled. Kazama had unleashed such a powerful technique but chose not to kill him.
"Kimimaro, I told you before—we're not enemies. You were manipulated by Yakushi Kabuto, who's already betrayed Orochimaru. Orochimaru and I are allies, so by extension, we're friends, not foes."
"No way! Orochimaru-sama never mentioned you. How could you be his ally? Sure, your strength is impressive, but…"
"Kazama-sama is right. We are indeed friends, not enemies!"
At that moment, Orochimaru appeared before Kimimaro.
"Orochimaru-sama, is this true?"
"Absolutely. Not only is Kazama-sama our ally, but he's also our master. From now on, you must serve him."
"As you command!"
Though Kimimaro was stunned by Orochimaru's words, he didn't dare question them.
Thud!
Suddenly, Kimimaro coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.
