NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 206: Chapter 99: Similar Shadows
The moment the Second Kazekage, Shamon, died, silence fell over the battlefield.
The Sand Shinobi, still locked in combat with the Uzumaki, were dumbfounded. The death of their village's Kage was completely unexpected.
Even Mizukage Sora was shocked. In just a few years, this evil star's power had improved significantly. If it had been him, he probably wouldn't have lasted more than a few rounds.
Kamihane bent his knees slightly, and with a whirlwind rising around him, his body shot straight into the sky, leaving a crater in the ground.
Ōnoki, flying through the night sky, suddenly felt a sense of danger. He clapped his hands together. "Light-Weight Rock Technique - Release!"
"Earth Release: Super Added-Weight Rock Technique!"
His body shook, as if disconnecting from the surrounding space. He plummeted downward, as if an invisible hand had reached out from the earth's surface and pulled him down.
The next moment, Kamihane transformed into a shadow, "zooming" past like a fighter jet, smashing Ōnoki's afterimage into pieces.
Sweat beaded on Ōnoki's forehead. Grasping the timing just before landing, he quickly changed his hand seals. "Earth Release: Light-Weight Rock Technique!"
The Super Added-Weight state was instantly canceled out. All kinetic energy was negated, and he became light as a feather again, smoothly rolling to the ground.
He had clearly seen the scene of Kamihane killing the Kazekage, and what he had witnessed was not a battle, but a massacre!
Clearly, his opponent was also a ninja capable of aerial combat, and judging from the phantom-like speed he had displayed, he was no match for him. Deliberately dragging the battlefield into the air would be tantamount to digging his own grave!
He had to admit that this guy's battle IQ was truly excellent, nullifying a series of aerial combos that Kamihane had set up. But for Ōnoki, descending to the ground still meant facing danger.
In the distance, the Susanoo raised its four arms high, and three black magatama spun and converged, forming a giant shuriken, chasing the soul from a hundred miles away. It carried a wave of air with it, slicing through the air.
Ōnoki quickly formed hand seals, slamming both hands on the ground.
"Earth Release: Stone Golem Technique!"
The ground suddenly exploded, and a rock behemoth tore through the earth, like a blue whale surfacing. It was entirely composed of the hardest bedrock, and every joint on its body moved freely, making it a powerful technique for both attack and defense.
As soon as the golem appeared, it hunched forward, like an indestructible fortress, firmly shielding the small, potato-like figure.
The magatama broke through the air, like a streak of black lightning. With an explosive sound, the golem's back shattered instantly, and smoke carried countless stones, scattering in all directions.
Ōnoki panted, the "Yasaka Magatama" had clearly aimed for his landing point. He wasn't entirely confident that he could dodge it, so he had chosen to take it head-on.
Although the "Stone Golem Technique" had been destroyed, it had blocked the incoming magatama without any real danger.
Uchiha Kamihane's strength had far exceeded the scope of a Kage-level expert. The pressure he exerted was comparable to that of Uchiha Madara in his prime. Fighting this guy was truly dangerous, and he couldn't afford to be careless in the slightest...
Suddenly, his heart lurched, and a chill ran down his spine. A faint sound of wind passed by his ear, and the laughter hidden in the wind was like the ghostly breeze in a graveyard, chasing after his soul.
"Focusing all your attention on the Susanoo?"
Kamihane had appeared silently behind Ōnoki. Before he could react, Kamihane raised a knee, ruthlessly striking him in the lower back.
"Crack!"
With a muffled, thunderous crash, a whirlwind rippled out from the point of impact, causing their robes to billow!
The tyrannical force reached his internal organs, and Ōnoki uncontrollably coughed up a mouthful of blood, tumbling far away, smashing through several buildings before stopping.
Kamihane didn't pursue, but coolly waved his hand. The massive black giant leaped up from the ground, and delivered a vicious "War Stomp", slamming down on the ruins where Ōnoki was located.
"Rumble!"
The earth shook, and a cloud of dust rose into the sky.
The next instant, white light bloomed, and a thick beam of light swept through the dust, piercing through the Susanoo, like a ray of dawn tearing through the darkness. It shot towards Kamihane, illuminating his pair of beautiful, scarlet eyes.
"Dust Release: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu!"
Kamihane revealed surprise, but his expression showed no panic. He calmly raised his right hand.
With a "hum", the beam of light that could tear everything apart stopped abruptly in front of Kamihane. The light wall twisted, turning into distorted streamers that poured into his palm. In just a few breaths, it vanished completely, returning to darkness.
"What!! My Dust Release, it's actually ineffective!!"
Ōnoki's pupils shrank in the distance. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. "That's impossible. It clearly caused damage to you just now!"
"Ah, you mean that." Kamihane said with a nonchalant expression, his tone without a trace of emotion. "I just wanted to test the strength of my body. Your Dust Release barely qualified, but it fell far short of my expectations."
The dismissive tone, the crimson eyes, and the awe-inspiring tall figure...
So similar, too similar!
He looked up at the night sky, and a long-lost tremor came from the depths of his memory. That long-sealed bitterness slowly unfolded like a scroll, the light and shadow shattered, the years reappeared, and the full moon reflected in his pupils seemed to slowly overlap with the moonlight that night.
...
"Why? This isn't what we agreed on!"
The young Ōnoki clenched his fists tightly, his slightly immature face full of resentment, his bright eyes glaring at the figure in front of him.
The long night was silent, and only the cold wind blew across his cheeks.
He was standing below the steps of a tower, and next to him stood a thin man wrapped in bandages, his teacher - Mū.
"This is an alliance, and we have also come for the peace between Iwagakure and Konoha. Your behavior... I don't understand!" Ōnoki bit his lip tightly, seeming to be forcibly restraining himself from saying harsh words. "Lord Hashirama clearly said..."
"Heh." The man standing on the steps let out a disdainful laugh.
"There is no alliance. Submit to the power of Konoha."
He stepped out of the shadows, his long hair flowing like a waterfall, and the Konoha headband on his head gleamed brightly. His handsome face was now somewhat sinister.
The man's tone was cold, and a faint glimmer of scarlet flowed from his narrowed eyes, as if they were furnaces holding the fires of hell.
"And... don't mention that person's name in front of me."
"Damn it!" Ōnoki could no longer endure it. He felt that both his village and his dream of peace were being ruthlessly trampled on by the man in front of him. He glared, seeming to want to argue.
The perceptive Mū's eyes showed seriousness, and he immediately grabbed his disciple.
But it seemed to be a little late.
The man opened his eyes, and the patterns in his pupils suddenly changed. Three black magatama twisted and connected with each other, forming a complex pattern.
Beneath the beautiful appearance lay a hint of eerie beauty.
Those eyes were reflected in Ōnoki's eyes, imprinted in his mind.
"Susanoo!"
Mū's body instantly straightened, and without warning, a deep-sea blue light glittered, a skeleton grew out of thin air, his body rose, and in an instant, a huge half-bodied giant was formed, roaring up to the sky.
The majestic roar seemed to tear the eardrums, and the sound waves set off a tangible storm, blasting the pair of teachers and students far away, the stairs and earth along the way being shattered by the shock waves, and sand and dust filled the sky.
