Shikotsumyaku: Ten Finger Bullets!
Kimimaro's ten finger bones instantly shot out like bullets.
Hidan didn't expect the opponent to have such a technique. Although he instinctively blocked with his Scythe, two or three bone bullets still hit him.
Pfft, pfft, pfft!
Hidan was injured in the first exchange, with three bloody holes opened in his body.
However, Hidan didn't care. Instead, he became even more excited at the sight of blood!
"Hahahaha, I'll kill you!"
Hidan swung his Scythe, and a red moon instantly appeared before Kimimaro.
Kimimaro quickly grew two bone blades from his hands and thrust them forward. However, the sheer power of Hidan made his expression change instantly.
Clang!
The Scythe was knocked away, and Kimimaro, unable to stand steady, stumbled backward.
At this moment, Hidan had already pressed forward. Seeing this, he immediately leaped high, grabbed the Scythe, and brought it down on Kimimaro's head!
After the initial probing, Kimimaro already knew that the opponent's strength was immense. Without hesitation, he unleashed the Dance of the Larch!
In the next moment, dozens of hard bones grew from his body, covering his back.
The interlocking bones were long and hard. Combined with the bone blades in Kimimaro's hands, they successfully parried this heavy blow.
Then, with a backhand sweep, the Dance of the Camellia!
On the crisscrossing bones on Kimimaro's body, Hidan gained no advantage. Instead, due to Kimimaro's elusive movements, he was stabbed in multiple places.
There was no other way, Kimimaro's bones were even harder than steel!
It was also Hidan's first time fighting someone whose body was covered in 'weapons.' When his Scythe fell, it was bound to be blocked by a pile of bones.
Coincidentally, Kimimaro was also a combat genius, able to use every bone on his body as a weapon for counterattacks with near-perfect precision.
Every strange movement was actually leveraging his advantages, continuously inflicting wounds on Hidan.
This greatly annoyed Hidan!
If not for the 100% increase in instinctive reaction from the [Fanatical Believer] effect, he would have been more than just injured by now.
In terms of offensive technique alone, Hidan was indeed suppressed by Kimimaro.
But Hidan also had his advantages. Since he couldn't dodge, he simply wouldn't dodge.
He would launch his attacks with all his might!
As a result, Kimimaro's offensive momentum was no longer as smooth as before.
Because Hidan's strength was immense, even if the bones could block it, Kimimaro himself had to absorb that terrifying impact force.
Moreover, the bones distributed on his body were limited, and not every part could block the enemy's weapon.
With this increase and decrease, Hidan became more and more ferocious in his fighting!
He frequently swung his Scythe, putting pressure on Kimimaro, causing Kimimaro to leave fewer wounds on Hidan.
"Uh oh!"
During the battle, Kimimaro's illness caused his movements to suddenly pause unnaturally.
Seizing the opportunity, Hidan swung his Scythe horizontally.
"This angle... I can't block that strange weapon completely!"
Kimimaro instantly made this judgment and, disregarding his severely deteriorating body, grew several more bones to forcibly block it.
Bang!
Kimimaro was sent flying backward.
Hidan, gaining the upper hand, chased after him with a wild laugh, pulling his Scythe back into a full moon!
A cold glint flashed in Kimimaro's eyes, and he also began to fight desperately.
During the dive, he lowered his center of gravity, preparing to parry with the bones on his back, while using the bone blades on his hands and chest to counter-kill the enemy.
Based on previous combat experience, Kimimaro could determine that the opponent's attack could not destroy his bones, so he only needed to be careful of the opponent changing tactics midway.
But he had underestimated Hidan.
"Jashin's Curse Mark!"
A phantom figure flashed across Hidan's body and then burrowed into Kimimaro's body.
Jashin's Curse Mark: Select a target and mark it. When the marked target is hit by this weapon, they will randomly suffer 1-5 times the damage.
"Lord Jashin is always watching me, hahahahaha!"
Boom!
Hidan swung his Scythe in a wide arc. Kimimaro defended as before.
However, a scene that shocked him immensely occurred!
When he precisely parried Hidan's Scythe with the bone blade on his back, an unimaginable force instantly transmitted, followed by the sound of bones breaking under the immense force!
Crack.
Kimimaro was smashed into the ground, as if his internal organs had shifted. His vision immediately went black, and he unconsciously spat out a mouthful of blood.
But just as Hidan thought it was over, Kimimaro, with astonishing willpower, maintained his consciousness, flipped over, and quickly created distance.
"Hey, kid, what's your name?"
This time, Hidan didn't rush to pursue but asked seriously.
Clearly, Kimimaro's strength and tenacity had earned his recognition.
"Kimimaro."
"Strange name, but it doesn't matter. Do you want to join us? Although sacrificing you to Lord Jashin is also a good option, I think you're more valuable than that guy named Kabuto."
Hidan slung the Scythe over his shoulder and said casually.
Kimimaro shook his head. "I will never betray Lord Orochimaru. For Lord Orochimaru, I can give my all, until the end of my life."
Saying this, Kimimaro took off his clothes and activated his curse mark, enduring the pain!
A tail immediately grew from behind Kimimaro, and his appearance became demonic.
Hidan sighed regretfully. "It seems I'm really not suited for this job... Forget it. Since that's the case, I'll have to send you to see Lord Jashin, Kimimaro."
Out of recognition, Hidan called out Kimimaro's name.
Then he used his own blood to draw a ritual pattern on the ground.
Kimimaro watched the entire process from not far away, unwilling to proactively attack and interrupt the process.
As if repaying Hidan for not pursuing him earlier.
What a naive and willful guy.
"Kimimaro, you've lost your last chance to defeat me."
Hidan squatted down, dipped his finger in blood, and smeared it on his tongue.
When he looked up again, he had also transformed into a demon, his face ferocious.
At first glance, both Kimimaro in his curse mark state and Hidan in his Shikotsumyaku state looked inhuman.
"Final blow!"
They both said at the same time.
Then Hidan took out his black spear, while Kimimaro placed his hands on the ground, pouring all his chakra into this final strike.
Shikotsumyaku: Dance of the Emerging Ferns!
Countless bone spurs erupted from the ground, terrifyingly transforming the surrounding environment into a forest of white bones!
This was his final dance!
