Witnessing Sōsuke standing in front of Shino, he slowly raised his right hand. The fair palm now resembled a blade, pointing directly at Shino and thrusting towards him!
"Bang!"
Shino, standing in front of Sōsuke, only had time to contract his pupils before being blasted away in an instant!
Bang — Crack —
The dark and thick earth behind him was instantly shattered by the colossal black bones!
Firelight scattered, and debris flew in all directions!
A thick cloud of smoke quickly enveloped the massive bones!
Under the protection of the enormous black bones, Shino still wore an expression of shock. His eyes involuntarily glanced ahead and were astonished once again!
On the massive black bones, the places previously attacked by Sōsuke had unexpectedly turned into fragments!
The shattered black bones stuck together in the dense chakra, almost breaking through the defense of the "Buddo Uchimikoto," aiming for Shino within!
Shino took a sharp breath, deeply shocked!
He... only took one strike to shatter the "Buddo Uchimikoto"...!!
At this moment, not far from him, Sōsuke had a smile on his lips. His expression was relaxed as he casually flicked away the crimson blood on his hand.
He glanced gently at Shino in the distance and chuckled.
"So, you managed to completely protect yourself... with Buddo Uchimikoto. What a nice ability."
Able to perfectly block a physical attack of sufficient intensity...
It seemed that the damage received within that bone structure was almost negligible...
This is... the ability that the Mangekyō Sharingan can bring...
I'm getting more and more interested in this bloodline...
With this thought, his gaze slightly lowered, and he murmured softly.
"So... how many more times can you block?"
Almost as soon as the words fell, his figure seemed to vanish into thin air!
Silent!
Meanwhile, Shino's face slightly changed. He quickly widened his blood-red Mangekyō Sharingan eyes, vigilantly scanning the surroundings!
Is it that technique again!
That indiscernible illusion...!
I must... I must see through his movements!!
"What are you looking around for..."
As a slightly indifferent voice sounded in his ears, Shino was startled, and his eyes instantly turned cold!
"Raijin Hammer!"
He saw Shino's single hand suddenly surge with lightning-attribute chakra!
Wielding the massive thunder hammer in his hand, he fiercely swung it towards the back!
However, his movement was only halfway done. The body protected by "Buddo Uchimikoto" was immediately sent flying into the sky!
"Boom!"
Crack — Crack —
Under the intense impact, Shino could hardly control his own posture. He looked at the "Buddo Uchimikoto" that almost broke into pieces in an instant with an unbelieving expression!
Below, Sōsuke, with a smile on his lips, slowly retracted his hand, gently shaking it towards the ground.
As he slowly reached for the Kusanagi Sword at his waist, he whispered softly.
"It's quite painful indeed. Well, for me, the effects of body techniques are too trivial, but... I've also felt its strength."
"Are there any other moves? If not..."
With that, the Kusanagi Sword was gently drawn from the waist, revealing its shining blade. A glint of sharpness flashed in Sōsuke's eyes.
"...then let's end this game."
As the words fell, Sōsuke's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot!
In mid-air, Shino's eyes turned cold, and his mind raced.
No! Buddo Uchimikoto can't withstand that guy's next attack!
I have to finish him off the next time he attacks!
At this moment, a gentle voice slowly echoed in the air.
"It's over..."
Hearing this voice, Shino's eyes widened instantly!
Now is the time!
"Raiton. Kuroyomi Raishin!!"
Shino suddenly extended both hands, and as his blood-red eyes deepened, the black lightning entwined around the shattered bones of Buddo Uchimikoto instantly condensed into his body!
Abruptly transforming into a terrifying black thunder spear, it stabbed out in all directions!
"Boom!"
"Splatter!"
In mid-air, with Shino at the center, an area of dozens of meters in radius was instantly covered by the terrifying black thunder spear!
On one of the sharp black thunder spearheads, Sōsuke's body was suspended high!
The black lightning spear pierced through his heart, and blood instantly stained his white clothes!
"Plap!"
Shino landed on the ground, half-kneeling, panting heavily, looking deeply incredulous at the lifeless Sōsuke lying on the ground.
"Did... did I... kill him? Did I really... kill this guy?"
Just as he wanted to move his exhausted body to get a closer look at whether Sōsuke was completely dead, a gentle voice slowly sounded behind him.
"Oh, the power of this last move seems quite good. Unfortunately, I didn't get to experience it firsthand. I'm sorry, Shino."
Hearing this voice, Shino's face instantly showed a stunned expression!
Slowly turning around, upon seeing the upright figure and the gentle smile on his face, his face suddenly turned extremely pale, revealing a bitter smile.
"Indeed... Captain Aizen, you couldn't possibly..."
He didn't finish the rest of his words. With a dejected look, he lowered his head. Although his blood-red eyes had returned to normal, they lost a certain luster.
Seven years of confidence, seven years of patience, but in front of this man, it still seemed like a child's game...
Even in the end... it just made his arm bleed a little...
Perhaps if he didn't want to... I couldn't have achieved even that...
Silently thinking about these things, Shino's pride and complete confidence dispersed at this moment.
Sōsuke slowly walked towards him, stopping in front of the bowed Shino. He still wore that gentle smile, and his voice was gentle.
"Rest assured, Shino. I've said it before; this is your chance, so I won't hold your disrespect against you. However, I don't want to see any more reckless behavior from you in the future. After all, those eyes of yours seem to have even greater potential. I might need that power in my future plans."
With that, his eyes flickered with a smile, and he spoke in a low voice.
"If... you cause problems in my plan... then, I'll have the lovely Sakuya replace you in completing it."
Hearing Sōsuke's words, Shino's eyes, initially low, suddenly widened. He turned his head and met Sōsuke's deep and smiling eyes.
"I... understand..."
Hearing his words, Sōsuke's eyes flashed with a smile, but he slowly turned his head to look at a concealed corner in the distance.
Mildly expressing.
"Tachi, why are you secretly hiding over there, treating your village comrades like this?"
Hearing Sōsuke's sudden words, Shino was stunned, looking bewildered at that spot.
And outside the chaotic battlefield.
A figure with light blue hair slowly walked out from behind a tree trunk. His face was incredibly solemn as he stared at Sōsuke and Shino, speaking in a deep voice.
"Captain Sōsuke... why are you here...!! And... with Shino engaging in such an intense battle, I can't believe you're just sparring...!!"
