JST Chapter 142: When Life Gives You Bones, Make a Mace!
🕑 Added 2024-12-30 14:43:50 +0000 UTCDodai and Chiyo looked at each other and smiled. The two were not as unscrupulous as Fuguki, but their confidence in this war increased again.
Kitsuchi, with a serious expression, followed them silently, although inside he was more relaxed.
Although he could not observe the capabilities of the other villages from a complete perspective, the shinobi sent by Iwagakure were experienced jonin, which ensured valuable information gathering.
With his mission in Konoha practically accomplished, all that was left was to sign a peace treaty as useless as toilet paper and return to Iwagakure to prepare for war.
...
Meanwhile, in the Forest of Death:
The Kirigakure team is already boiling.
Zabuza and Jinzaburo had begun to frantically search for their prey.
On the other hand, Kisame and Mei followed them silently, with no intention of cooperating as a team.
"Zabuza, I heard that you are the genius ninja favored by the Third Mizukage..." Jinzaburo looked crazy. "I really want to know, what exactly are you capable of, are you only able to kill the incompetent people in the ninja school?"
Zabuza's face was cold, he did not want to recall the fact that he slaughtered his companions during the graduation exam.
He just wanted to change the village, and had to use extreme methods to make an impact and make Kirigakure normal...
"You will know my ability in a while..." Zabuza held a ninja sword in his hand and looked for Konoha shinobi.
In his opinion, as long as he killed one more Konoha shinobi, there would be one less enemy on the battlefield in the future.
A moment later...
Jinzaburo detected movement in the treetops and exclaimed excitedly: "Our first prey!"
Kazuki, sitting calmly, opened his eyes and smiled serenely.
He has been waiting for Jinzaburo here for a long time.
"Shinobi of Kiri, I am not a participant in this exam, but a Konoha examiner sent to prevent any unexpected incidents." He said calmly. "You may look for other candidates; I do not carry any scrolls."
Jinzaburo narrowed his eyes, looking at the Uchiha clan clothing that Kazuki was wearing. He pointed at the clan emblem and asked in a serious tone: "Are you an Uchiha?"
Kazuki nodded.
Jinzaburo smiled sickly and said loudly: "No, you are not!"
"The real Uchiha are fighting against the higher echelons of their village. You, with that gentle smile towards your enemies, do not deserve to be called Uchiha!"
“A warrior clan like the Kaguya or the Uchiha and you don’t have even an ounce of bloodlust? I won’t allow it!”
Jinzaburo went crazy for no reason.
Kazuki looked at him and shook his head.
How had this gray-haired Kaguya child developed such an unhinged character, almost like a rabid dog?
Kazuki had planned to use words to incite him to attack him, but surprisingly, a simple smile from him had already sparked such fierce enmity.
Perhaps this way of being was the main cause of the eventual disappearance of the Kaguya Clan...
“Pay attention: I am an examiner, not a participant.” Kazuki explained patiently. “According to the rules of the exam, participants are not allowed to attack the examiners...”
“Rules? How absurd! Why should I follow Konoha’s orders if I want to kill someone?”
Jinzaburo gave a sadistic smile as he pulled a bone blade out of his spine, making a chilling sound as if his bones were creaking and his flesh was compressing.
In the dark and oppressive environment of the Forest of Death, that noise was even more terrifying.
Behind Jinzaburo, when Mei saw Kazuki, her eyes sparkled for a moment, but then she let out a silent sigh as she thought: 'It's so hard to find a handsome man... Especially that warm and bright smile... I love it!'
'What a pity... Any poor wretch marked by that crazy man of the bones always ends up in pieces.'
'There's no other option, I'd rather enjoy his face a little longer...'
Mei stared at Kazuki. She knew that if a miracle didn't happen, he would soon disappear from the shinobi world.
Zabuza said coldly: “Kill him. Even if he is an Uchiha without fighting spirit, he is still a danger.”
“Keep his corpse. This guy, with that soft-hearted attitude, probably doesn’t have a Sharingan, but he can still be useful to Kirigakure’s cause. Maybe the Mizukage can get some use out of him.”
Kisame and Mei stood by, not intervening, watching as Zabuza and Jinzaburo walked forward.
"Dance of the Willow!"
Jinzaburo suddenly accelerated, charging towards Kazuki with a bloodthirsty expression.
Sharp bony spikes began to emerge from his knees, elbows, and back, turning him into a kind of living weapon.
Zabuza watched coldly, waiting for Jinzaburo to finish off Kazuki and ensure his corpse was intact.
"Go to hell!"
Jinzaburo raised his bone sword and brought it down on Kazuki.
At this moment, Kazuki finally made a move.
Kazuki said slowly: "You seem to have some opinions about my smile?"
Dense and violent lightning surged on Kazuki's body instantly!
The armor transformed by the lightning chakra firmly blocked the bone blade, and the surging current burned the bones with a crackling sound...
Jinzaburo's eyes widened. Wasn't that Kumo's secret technique?
How could an Uchiha master that technique and use it to the level of blocking the Shikotsumyaku?
As amazement filled his mind, Kazuki covered Jinzaburo's face with one hand, pressing with his fingers, increasing the strength little by little.
With the various improvements, Kazuki had achieved a strength that defied all logic.
Jinzaburo endured unbearable pain, his skull being crushed little by little, while the Shikotsumyaku reinforced his bones to prevent total destruction.
[Feeling the strong impact towards Kaguya Jinzaburo by the host, binding the target!]
[Sensing Terumi Mei, Zabuza and Kisame... binding the targets!]
"Save me! Please help me!" Jinzaburo screamed desperately, struggling to resist Kazuki's strength. "This bastard is not normal! His strength is impossible!"
"Are you still calling me a bastard? What a stubborn person..."
Kazuki's smile became kinder and warmer...
But Jinzaburo's skull continued to make eerie sounds of bones breaking and healing endlessly, trapping him in an endless cycle of pain.
In just a few breaths, the change in the situation made the Kirigakure shinobi stunned.
Kisame stared blankly at Jinzaburo who was about to die. It seemed that there was no need to find a way to let Konoha take the blame. This strange Uchiha was going to crush his head with his hands!
But the problem was that with the fighting power shown by Kazuki, he was afraid that he would kill them all together...
Kisame momentarily put aside the secret mission entrusted to him by the Mizukage and, together with Zabuza, brandished his sword and charged towards Kazuki.
Seeing his companions coming to his aid, Jinzaburo was overcome with a fierce survival instinct. He refined his chakra to the limit, and his entire body erupted with sharp bones charged with cold killing intent, launching them towards Kazuki's vital points.
"H-how can it be…?" Jinzaburo muttered in disbelief, enduring the pain of having his skull crushed over and over again. He looked hopelessly at his attack, which failed to penetrate Kazuki's Chakra Mode Lightning Release.
"With so many spikes, you could be quite a useful weapon..." Kazuki smiled warmly as he dug his fingers into the base of Jinzaburo's skull and raised it like a makeshift mace. In a light voice, he commented: "Kaguya Clan Secret Technique: Human Cudgel."
Facing the combined attack of Kisame and Zabuza, Kazuki brandished Jinzaburo as a weapon, and sent them flying with a single blow.
It must be said that as a weapon, Jinzaburo exceeded expectations.
Kisame collapsed to the ground, covered in wounds from the sharp bones that had pierced him. Blood pooled beneath him as he looked up at Kazuki in shock.
Unlike Kisame, who still had some energy left due to his special constitution, Zabuza was nearly dead, lying to the side and helplessly watching Kazuki.
At that moment, Mei managed to position herself behind Kazuki, inhaling deeply.
Although she felt an attraction to Kazuki's appearance, in a life or death situation like this, even the most attractive body was nothing more than a shell of skin.
"Lava Release: Melting Apparition Technique!"
A large amount of corrosive liquid came out of her mouth and headed towards Kazuki at an astonishing speed.
Kazuki turned his head and looked at Mei, his eyes shining with a purplish-blue glow.
[Eye of the Snake] instantly analyzed the Lava Release, and [Doctor Ninjutsu] quickly helped Kazuki improve his proficiency in the Lava Release.
Kazuki held Jinzaburo in one hand and made a series of seals with the other. “Lava Release: Melting Apparition Technique”
The same Lava Release that Mei had just used completely countered her attack.
Kisame and Zabuza at the side were dumbfounded, and even Jinzaburo in Kazuki's hand forced himself to suppress the pain in his skull and looked at Kazuki.
"That... that's my Kekkei Genkai! How is that possible..." Mei stammered in disbelief.
The Sharingan appeared in Kazuki's eyes, he chuckled and said: "The Sharingan can copy ninjutsu, didn't you know that?"
[From the target Terumi Mei, you get Boil Release!]
[From the target Kisame, you get Water Release ninjutsu (Kisame's unique)!]
[From the target Kaguya Jinzaburo, you get a slight improvement in physique!]
[From the target Zabuza, you get a slight improvement in swordsmanship!]
Kazuki looked straight at Mei, his eyes shining with a peculiar light, and said in a low voice: "It seems you don't quite believe it, do you?"
"Boil Release: Skilled Mist Technique..."
With a simple seal, a corrosive mist began to rapidly expand from Kazuki, enveloping everything around him.
