This shout no longer concealed the hiding place of him and C. Upon hearing this, Sakumo and the others turned their heads in that direction. "You guys stay here first," Sakumo instructed Suzuka and the others to wait for a while, then he rushed out directly in that direction.
By doing so, he triggered several traps, including nets and flying arrows. The chakra sword in Sakumo's hand burst out with rich lightning chakra, and the frenzied power directly tore these so-called traps apart. Swish! Suzuka and the others followed, and everyone discovered the underground secret place covered by the dense forest.
The four did not rush in because when they arrived here, two figures had already appeared in front of them: C and Kuriyama Shinzo.
The strange pattern on the latter's body gradually faded, and he carried the bloody March sickle, staring at Sakumo and the others with gloomy eyes. Sakumo didn't say anything and rushed forward.
"Bang!" He and C fought again. The two had a deep grudge over the past few days.
"This time, you won't have a chance to run away!" Suzuka said. Last time, it was due to her negligence that Minato was injured. However, since she knew Kuriyama Shinzo's ability this time, she would not be easily injured by him again.
And she also believed that there was no real immortal in this world. If he couldn't be killed by cutting off his head, then his body needed to be completely destroyed. Unless he could revive.
Sakumo's strength had always been above C, so at the beginning of the battle, he took the lead. C kept retreating under Sakumo's attack and gradually left Kuriyama Shinzo.
This was exactly what Sakumo did on purpose. Last time, during the gap between their fighting, this guy almost killed Minato. "You two can go around and distract him."
However, the three of them had seen the power of the Bloody March Scythe in Kuriyama Shinzo's hand. It was a weapon that could not be damaged by Sakumo's attack.
Minato and Uchiha Yoruki did not have any special weapons, only the most common kunai, and with their strength, they were not suitable for fighting Kuriyama Shinzo.
"Dang!" The two weapons collided, and Kuriyama Shinzo's face turned cold.
"Troublesome woman, let's start with you!" Kuriyama Shinzo's face returned to normal, but his ferocious intention did not decrease but increased.
The Bloody March Scythe itself had more advantages than Suzuka's sword, so even if Suzuka's physical skills were better than his, she could only avoid its edge temporarily.
However, Suzuka did not intend to fight him head-on from the beginning.
She withdrew the strength in her hand and jumped up.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!" At this moment, Uchiha Yoruki behind her seized the perfect opportunity and performed the Great Fireball Jutsu. The huge fireball instantly covered Kuriyama Shinzo.
Boom! However, in the flames, Kuriyama Shinzo swung his giant sickle to disperse the flames. His clothes were burned, and his body was charred, but he was not seriously injured.
Swish! At this moment, a residual image passed through Kuriyama Shinzo's eyes. Taking this opportunity, Minato used the instant flash to go around his back, lowered his body, and then held the kunai in both hands, stabbing at the joints of his knees.
Since he already knew that attacking Kuriyama Shinzo was useless, it would be better to deprive him of his mobility first.
"Konoha Style, Dance of the Crescent Moon!" At this moment, Suzuka, who had jumped up earlier, also launched an attack from above Kuriyama Shinzo's head, waving the sword in her hand.
After Uchiha Yoruki released the ninjutsu, he also threw several shurikens directly, all hitting the joints of Kuriyama Shinzo's body.
If Kuriyama Shinzo defended against Suzuka's attack, he would inevitably be hit by Minato and the others' attacks, thus losing his ability to move. However, if he defended against their attacks, Suzuka's strike would cut off his head. He was once a special jonin, but Suzuka was a real jonin, and Minato and Uchiha Yoruki were also quite strong. Therefore, in one round, he was in a deadlock that was almost certain to die.
But at this moment, Kuriyama Shinzo threw the Bloody March Scythe in his hand directly, and the end of the sickle was connected to a rope. The Bloody March Scythe was not light, so it was extremely fast, forcing Minato back, and the three-section sickle knocked down several of Uchiha Yoruki's shurikens.
"Be careful!" At the same time as Suzuka's attack arrived, the Bloody March Scythe also surrounded her side. Immediately, Suzuka changed her movements, holding the blade horizontally to block the Bloody March Scythe.
Minato and Uchiha Yoruki rushed up at the same time and tripped Kuriyama Shinzo. The latter lost his balance, causing the Bloody March Scythe to lose its power and fall.
After doing all this, the two did not choose to subdue Kuriyama Shinzo directly, as it would take time for Suzuka to land, and Kuriyama Shinzo also attacked them with a crazy look on his face. Swish! Both of them retreated directly with the body flicker jutsu, forming a triangle with Suzuka, who had landed, surrounding Kuriyama Shinzo in the center.
Kuriyama Shinzo's strength had not changed, but the Bloody March Scythe in his hand was indeed difficult to deal with. It could be used for both close and far attacks, with a large range.
Suzuka and the others did not dare to exchange injuries with him, as injuries were meaningless to the guy in front of them. If they wanted to find a way to kill him, they must subdue him first. Immediately, they engaged him again.
The offensive methods adopted by Suzuka and the others were slightly conservative, aiming to subdue Kuriyama Shinzo without sustaining any damage themselves. However, ordinary means were difficult to work on this guy. Kuriyama Shinzo did not look anxious.
The ground of the valley outside the dense forest was stained with blood, and the tip of Yugimoto Kawahiko's sword was constantly bleeding.
The corpses of the Jashin Cultists were all over the place. Yugimoto Kawahiko was like a sickle, madly harvesting the lives of these people.
In just a few dozen minutes, he had killed nearly two-thirds of the Jashin Cultists. The Hot Spring ninja, who were originally outnumbered, were also harvesting the lives of the remaining cultists under his orders. Yugimoto Kawahiko's chakra consumption was huge, as there were ninjas among these cultists.
But those had been dealt with by him, and the only ones left were bandits.
He held a long sword and approached Reina, his hand on the hilt trembling slightly. But it didn't last long, and was replaced by the resolute look on his face. "Yugi, what are you going to do with her?" Kato Keika actually stood in front of Oshima Reina.
Yugimoto Kawahiko's eyes, red with killing, only recovered a little when he saw his mother. But his eyes still bypassed her and looked at the relative behind his mother. "Mother, please move aside. I want to kill this woman who betrayed the Hot Spring Ninja Village."
