Chapter 57: Pharmacist Kabuto
"Hahaha!"
"Uchiha Sasuke, interesting, very interesting, keep it coming!"
Gaara in the sphere suddenly started to go berserk~
Without any warning~
Although he had just been roasted by fire, the heat hadn't spread in such a short time, so why was he suddenly going berserk~
"Blood, fresh blood, you actually made me bleed!" Gaara's shout came from within the sand sphere!
Fresh blood?
Was it the injury from Chidori?
How long had it been since then…
After Chidori, Er Zhu Zi had been roasting him with fire for several minutes, and only now was he going berserk because of the blood?
How long must his reaction time be…
Kizaru looked speechless~
He wanted to see what kind of abilities this berserk Gaara possessed.
Just then, unfamiliar feathers began to fall from the sky.
Looking at the seemingly illusory feathers falling, Kizaru suddenly felt very sleepy.
The endless drowsiness, like a tide, swept over him. His eyelids began to droop, and his body started to become unresponsive.
Thud~
Finally, Kizaru collapsed to the ground, falling into a deep slumber.
And throughout the entire Chunin Exams arena, all the ordinary spectators, and most of the unprepared Genin, all fell into sleep.
Kakashi and Might Guy exchanged glances, then simultaneously formed hand signs, disrupted the Chakra flow in their bodies, and shouted—Release!
They were no longer affected by the genjutsu—Temple of Nirvana Technique.
Both of them felt quite serious.
They knew that Orochimaru, who had recently infiltrated Konoha Village… had made his move!
…In the Nine-Tailed's sealing space.
The Nine-Tailed's fiery red body lay lazily on the ground. At this moment, it opened its eyes, revealing a disdainful expression~
"This old man who inexplicably broke into the sealing space, weren't his methods quite sharp when he fought me? Now he's actually knocked out by such a small genjutsu, how embarrassing!"
Looking at Kizaru's soul, which was sprawled on the ground outside the seal, the Nine-Tailed felt a surge of anger.
If he was so easily dealt with, wouldn't it make the Nine-Tailed seem insignificant too!
"Get up for me!"
The Nine-Tailed roared at Kizaru's soul, stirring up a foul-smelling gust of wind.
The huge sound, coupled with the indescribable "smell," directly acted upon Kizaru's soul, making Kizaru completely sober!
After Kizaru woke up and smelled that scent again, he frowned tightly, "I say, Nine-Tailed, how long has it been since you last brushed your teeth!"
Brush teeth?
Brush your sister's teeth!
I'm a Chakra aggregation, and a fox, how do I brush my teeth!
Although Kizaru made a joke, his heart was full of vigilance.
Genjutsu was also a common Ninja technique.
Previously, Kakashi's Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique had been immune to him.
He had thought that he himself could be immune to all genjutsu. Now it seemed he had been wishful thinking.
Perhaps his immunity to the Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique was because he had nothing to fear.
Now it seemed that genjutsu was a major threat to him.
Because when he was in the Pirate World, he lacked corresponding combat experience.
Although he had seen people create illusions, that was merely utilizing visual error.
However, a Ninja's genjutsu directly affected the soul.
He didn't know what level of genjutsu he had fallen victim to this time!
If he had the chance… he definitely had to get a pair of Sharingan. It was said that not only did that thing specialize in countering genjutsu, but it was also good at casting genjutsu!
Opening his eyes, he found the entire arena in chaos.
A large number of Otogakure and Sand Ninja had rushed in.
Kakashi and Might Guy were fighting these Ninja.
And Gaara was being supported by Temari and Kankuro, moving away from the arena.
At this moment, Kizaru saw another person—Yakushi Kabuto, that informant.
At this moment, Yakushi Kabuto turned to look at Kizaru, smiling mysteriously, "You woke up so quickly, not bad, but to fall so easily for my Temple of Nirvana Technique, you're not as terrifying as Lord Orochimaru said~"
"Was that your genjutsu?" Kizaru's eyes were unfriendly, "Then go to hell!"
Kizaru flashed to Yakushi Kabuto's side, striking out with a darkened fist!
"As expected, so fast!" Yakushi Kabuto exclaimed, forcibly taking the punch.
Boom!
Yakushi Kabuto's abdomen was struck with a large crater by this punch, and his entire body flew backward!
A sizzling sound rang out, and Yakushi Kabuto's injured abdomen rapidly healed, returning to normal in the blink of an eye. He used the force of being knocked back to quickly depart, "Naruto-kun, you are indeed amazing, we will meet again!"
It turned out that Yakushi Kabuto had already anticipated Kizaru's speed. When he spoke, he had already prepared for healing.
Kizaru hitting him, injuring him, and sending him flying, had played right into his plan. He could just use this to get away.
Everything was as he had expected!
"You self-proclaimed mastermind, did I let you leave?!" Kizaru roared, "[Yata Mirror]"
Several mirrors appeared on the tops of buildings and tree branches. Kizaru's body transformed into a yellow light, reflecting between these mirrors.
He caught up to Yakushi Kabuto almost instantly. With a crooked smile, the laser beam on Kizaru's finger had already begun to flicker!
Yakushi Kabuto's eyes widened, his face filled with terror.
Not only was the speed of short-range assault terrifying, but even the speed of long-range pursuit was so terrifying, giving people almost no time to react!
Whoosh!
A yellow laser beam shot out, directly piercing Yakushi Kabuto's chest. The beam then continued forward, striking the ground and blasting a hemispherical crater!
Bang~
Yakushi Kabuto's struck body turned into a puff of white smoke, completely disappearing!
"A clone!"
Kizaru's face was grim, "You were quite well-prepared beforehand, but do you think you can escape like this?!"
Observation Haki activated!
Everything happening throughout Konoha Ninja Village was instantly perceived by Kizaru.
Several large snakes were attacking the walls, but were crushed by the giant toad summoned by Jiraiya.
On the highest viewing platform, the Kazekage of the Land of Wind had already hijacked the Third Hokage, but Kizaru had already realized that the person was Orochimaru.
The Otogakure and Sand Ninja forces had already invaded Konoha Village, causing casualties everywhere… Kizaru's gaze locked onto a certain spot in the arena!
This Yakushi Kabuto certainly played his tricks well.
His true body was actually hidden within this very arena!
Kizaru sneered, playing a trick of 'the darkest place is under the lamp'?
Under the cover of my Observation Haki, which encompassed the entire arena, nothing could hide!
Kizaru's figure flashed, appearing before the ordinary person Yakushi Kabuto was disguised as. With a mysterious smile on his face, he spoke his favorite catchphrase, "Speed is power, have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?"
The person's face showed an expression of terror, "How did you know!"
Boom!
The light-speed kick directly blew up the guy's head.
Kizaru snorted coldly.
Suddenly, the guy's body once again turned into smoke and disappeared.
"Another clone! What a deeply cunning fellow."
Kizaru cursed his bad luck, and once again searched with Observation Haki, but could no longer find Yakushi Kabuto… Somewhere far from Konoha Village.
Yakushi Kabuto looked horrified, "As expected of an existence that even Lord Orochimaru fears. If I hadn't prepared several safeguards beforehand, I definitely would have… perished there!"
