Chapter 220 A Stroll Through the Bone Forest
Chapter 220 A Stroll Through the Bone Forest
The roar, filled with primal, wild madness, exploded like thunder on the cold sea, even briefly drowning out the howling wind.
He had been waiting for this day for far too long.
In the village, Soryu could only spar with his clansmen, whose edges had been smoothed out by peace. It felt like a tiger being imprisoned in a sheepfold, possessing the power to tear the heavens and earth apart, yet having nowhere to vent it.
until now.
Until he witnessed Hiruzen Sarutobi's methods firsthand.
That absolute control, that effortless mastery of everything, did not frighten Kaguya Soranosuke; instead, it excited every cell in his body to the extreme.
The Third Raikage, Ai, held Yukinojo's shoulder, watching Hiruzen Sarutobi warily. He did not stop Kaguya Soranosuke's provocation.
Although this madman from the Kaguya clan is mentally challenged, his strength is indeed top-notch. Having him test Hiruzen Sarutobi's abilities is exactly what he wants.
Yukinojo was panting heavily. Having just been pulled back from the brink of death, his heart was still pounding, and he couldn't say a word.
Faced with Kaguya Soranosuke's almost tangible fighting spirit, Hiruzen Sarutobi simply stood there calmly.
He didn't even make any extra movements, just quietly watching the man who seemed to be insane, as if he were watching a drama that had nothing to do with him.
This disregard.
This utter contempt.
More than any verbal mockery, it ignited Kaguya Sora's fury!
"Excellent! Excellent!!!"
Kaguya Soranosuke grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth; his smile was twisted and ferocious.
His hands began to form extremely complex hand seals at a dazzling speed.
As he completed the last seal, he slammed his hands down on the thick ice beneath his feet, unleashing a devastating burst of chakra from his entire body!
"Corpse Bone Vein - Hundred Flower Burial!!!"
The moment the words fell.
Click—click—!
Centered on the spot where Hiruzen Sarutobi stood, the vast ice surface with a radius of 100 meters instantly groaned under the immense pressure.
Immediately afterwards, the ice layer was violently torn apart by a terrifying force from below.
Countless pale, sharp bone spikes, gleaming with a chilling light, rushed out of the ice.
They grow wildly and wildly, twisting, intertwining, and piercing upwards!
Within seconds, a chilling and terrifying sea of white bone flowers, filled with the aura of death, completely enveloped the area.
Each flower is composed of dozens or even hundreds of incredibly sharp bone spurs, and their petals are the sharpest white bone blades.
A forest of bones rose from the ground, blocking out the sky.
This S-class, ultra-wide-range ultimate technique, with its bizarre and magnificent display, caused a tremendous uproar among the distant Allied Fleet.
"What... what kind of ninjutsu is this?!"
"It's the Kaguya clan's Bone Vein! My god, the range..."
"..."
The ninjas from Kumogakure and Kirigakure stared in disbelief at the sea of death flowers before them.
They could clearly sense the terrifying killing intent contained within that forest of bones; even just looking at it from afar made their skin sting.
A serious expression appeared on the face of the Third Raikage, A.
The Kaguya clan's Corpse Bone Pulse truly lives up to its reputation.
The power of this move was such that even for him, it would take some effort to break through unscathed.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, standing in the center of the Bone Forest, looked around with great interest.
Looking at the bone spurs hurtling towards him, he showed no sign of tension whatsoever; instead, he calmly commented on the situation.
"Using bones to make flowers is quite ingenious."
"It certainly has a unique charm when combined with the snow and ice all around."
These light, casual words reached the ears of the three people with perfect clarity.
What?
Flavor?
Original and ingenious?
Kaguya Soranosuke's sinister smile froze instantly, followed by utter disbelief.
What did he hear?
The blood-stained secret technique that he himself used was described by him as merely a "unique" scenic view?
What a humiliation!
"You're asking for it!!!"
Kaguya Sora roared, pouring more chakra into the technique, causing the bone flower's growth rate and piercing power to surge once again.
Under the moonlight, Hiruzen Sarutobi moved.
He simply took a step forward, as if strolling leisurely.
call out--!
A thick bone spike whistled past his ear, and the sharp wind ruffled a few strands of black hair at his temples.
Hiruzen Sarutobi did not pause for a moment and took another step forward.
scoff!
Three intersecting bone spikes broke through the ice beneath his feet, growing upwards almost touching the hem of his clothes, yet they didn't even manage to touch a single piece of fabric.
He slightly turned his body and dodged a bone flower that swept in from the side.
With a slight lowering of the head, a row of bone blades, like guillotines, whistled past overhead.
Leaf Village Body Flicker Technique.
The most basic and simplest movement technique that every Konoha genin must master.
However, at this moment, under the feet of the Third Hokage, this most basic ninjutsu displayed a miraculous effect.
"Whoosh—"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's figure appeared and disappeared in the dense, deadly forest of bone spikes, moving unhurriedly and leisurely.
Each time he dodged, he narrowly avoided a fatal stab.
Each step was precisely placed in the only safe gap.
He didn't even turn around to look at the attacks coming from behind, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, always able to anticipate and easily dodge them.
That ease and composure seemed to be silently mocking the powerlessness and absurdity of this S-rank ninjutsu.
