Chapter 409: Battle (Patreon)

#Regular Chapter(1/2)

Thrown away by the impact, Kimimaro got up expressionlessly from the ground. He lowered his head, looking at his body, and spoke in a cold tone, "Is this what being healthy feels like?"

Kimimaro moved his body slightly, and the curse mark on his chest started glowing red. In the next second, it transformed into black patterns spreading all over his body.

Observing Kimimaro's changes, Hidan furrowed his eyebrows, "This aura, has his strength increased again?"

"Surpassing the elite Jonin level, indeed worthy of the name Kaguya Clan with the awakened bloodline limit Dead Bone Pulse."

Hidan this time recognized Kimimaro’s strength. This child chosen by Lord Charles indeed possesses formidable power.

"Second round, let’s begin!"

Now wielding a bone knife, Kimimaro's speed increased by three times. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Hidan, and the bone knife in his hand swung towards Hidan.

"Don't underestimate Lord Hidan, my man!"

Hidan also refrained from holding back, utilizing his full Kage-level strength. Except for the ability of sacrifice to the evil god, he allowed his power to be fully unleashed.

Hidan swung his Three-Bladed Scythe, rotating it towards Kimimaro, and the blades collided fiercely with the bone knife.

"Ha!"

Hidan attacked while enthusiastically shouting.

Nick Fury, watching the scene, once again furrowed his brows; he couldn't see anything clearly.

"With the two of them accelerating again, slow down the video playback to the maximum!"

"Director, that will cause severe delays."

"Even with a delay, I want a clear view of their battle."

"Yes, Director!"

The video playback speed of the scene where the two clashed was once again slowed down, and soon the figures of the two, initially reduced to dots, became visible to the naked eye, and the situation of their battle was captured and played back.

With the accelerated pace of their fight, the road under their feet, capable of supporting tanks, had already become uneven, as if it could collapse into the sea at any moment.

Kimimaro used the Corpse Bone Pulse, and bones sprouted all over his body, with a hardness that could withstand any ordinary attacks. Even a kick from Rock Lee wouldn't break through this defense.

However, Hidan, who went all out, wasn't someone to be trifled with. Faced with Kimimaro's porcupine-like appearance, he directly wielded the Three-Bladed Scythe and began to attack.

"Uh, ha!"

The rotating Three-Bladed Scythe struck Kimimaro. Although the bone spikes acted as a defense, they still hit his body. However, there was no bloody mess; instead, it looked more like an impact on bones.

Retracting the Three-Bladed Scythe, Hidan looked at Kimimaro and said, "Did you cover your entire body with a bone membrane?"

"If that's the case, then let Lord Hidan shatter your bones!"

With a burst of yelling from Hidan, the aura of a Kage-level powerhouse was completely unleashed, and black and white patterns, characteristic of sacrificing to the evil god, appeared on his body.

With this terrifying aura, the ground within the barrier cracked even faster, and an invisible gust of wind hung in the air.

Struggling to maintain the barrier, the four members of the Sound Ninja frowned, "Is this the true strength of a Kage-level powerhouse?"

"It's absolutely terrifying!"

Hidan swung the Three-Bladed Scythe towards Kimimaro. The rotating scythe flew over, directly cutting into Kimimaro's body.

Kimimaro crossed his arms in front of him, and the bone spikes in various places blocked the cutting of the blades. Under the tremendous impact, his body continuously retreated, and the road under his feet was carved out like a trench by his legs.

After completing the rotation, the scythe was not immediately pulled back by Hidan. Instead, holding onto the Scythe, he instantly arrived in front of Kimimaro.

"Break for me!"

Grasping the Scythe, Hidan directly initiated a large chopping motion.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

"Crack!"

With Kimimaro resisting, the bone spikes on his body finally couldn't hold on. Under Hidan's chopping, they broke apart directly.

Without the defense of bone spikes, the sharp blades on the Three-Bladed Scythe stabbed into Kimimaro's shoulder, piercing through the bone membrane and leaving a wound.

Kimimaro lifted the bone knife in his hand and directly struck Hidan's Three-Bladed Scythe, knocking the sickle that was stuck in his shoulder away.

As the Three-Bladed Scythe was retracted, the damage left by Hidan had completely healed in less than a breath, making it look as if there had been no injury at all.

Hidan took back the Three-Bladed Scythe and held it in his hand, looking at the bloodstains on it. He licked his lips, suppressing the impulse to lick the blood.

He knew he came here for a practice match, not to actually kill Kimimaro.

Nick Fury, watching the two stop, touched his chin and said, "Coulson, do you think the Sound Ninja Team can take down Hidan?"

"With this barrier in place, although it deprives the opponent of the chance to escape, our people can't contribute anything either. We can only wait for their final outcome."

Coulson shook his head, "Director, I don't know."

"But currently, it seems like neither side has been injured."

"What if they both end up seriously injured? If we launch all the missiles in the base, as well as the shells from the planes and tanks, can we keep Hidan and the others here?"

Nick Fury intended not only to keep Hidan but also to take down the Sound Ninja Team once there was an opportunity.

Hearing the Director's words, Coulson showed no surprise but analyzed the pros and cons, "Perhaps we can mix in a large number of tranquilizer bombs and shoot them together."

"As long as they breathe, it can reduce their resistance."

"Hidan is a rogue ninja. If we capture him, there should be no issues. However, the people from the Sound Ninja Village won't take it lying down. They'll come looking for trouble."

"After all, becoming a ninja village means that the number of ninjas won't be small."

Nick Fury, in a calm tone, said, "They were killed by the rogue Hidan while executing a mission. What does it have to do with our S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

"We're very humane, burying their ashes. They won’t find trouble with us. At that time, we'll double the agreed-upon mission reward and consider it as compensation to the Sound Ninja Village."

Listening to the Director's calculations, Coulson nodded, "We'll notify the agents below to prepare and change the warheads."

"Get ready in advance."

"But the premise is that they both end up seriously injured. If the casualties in the Sound Ninja Village are not severe, we should proceed with a normal handover!"

"S.H.I.E.L.D. still upholds integrity!"
