"So this is the sound genjutsu?" Kimimaro looked at the scene before him with interest, feeling the power that corroded the flesh.
Sound genjutsu!
In the entire Naruto world, only a few people could use this type of genjutsu.
This kind of genjutsu was even more difficult to defend against than visual genjutsu.
Because sound was pervasive.
It was extremely difficult to completely isolate oneself from sound.
Of course, compared to the Toad Song of Mount Myoboku, Tayuya's Demonic Flute: Phantom Sound Chains was inferior.
But the potential of sound genjutsu was indeed not low.
"Interesting, but sound genjutsu is useless to me. The Silence!"
The Clow Card of Silence activated!
Looking at the motionless Kimimaro, Jirobo, who had just emerged from the stone wall, sneered, "I thought he was so powerful, but I didn't expect him to fall for it so easily. Once caught in this genjutsu, it's not easy to break free."
As soon as Jirobo finished speaking, Tayuya's flute playing stopped abruptly.
Pfft!
A mouthful of blood spurted from Tayuya's mouth.
Genjutsu backlash!
Tayuya's eyes revealed an expression of disbelief.
Jirobo was also taken aback.
This was a slap in the face too quickly.
Kimimaro landed on the ground unharmed, coldly scanning the four of them.
"Don't waste time, use the cursed seal together. In your normal state, you're no match for me."
Hearing this, the four looked at each other.
They had realized that Kimimaro's strength was on a completely different level from theirs.
If they didn't use the power of the cursed seal, they had no chance of winning.
"Everyone, don't hold back anymore, let's go all out!"
Kidomaru shouted, his appearance changing again.
Black runes covered his entire body, and his skin turned dark red.
His face turned into an Asura face, with a third eye growing on his forehead.
He opened his mouth and spat out sticky gold, forming a large bow.
Spider War Bow!
Kidomaru drew the bow and aimed at Kimimaro, but didn't release the bowstring.
He was waiting for the right moment.
The feeling of being targeted made Kimimaro quite uncomfortable, but he didn't immediately attack.
Tayuya's skin also erupted with black runes, quickly covering her entire body. Her skin color turned dark, and several white bone horns grew on her head.
Her originally beautiful face turned ugly.
Jirobo and Sakon/Ukon also activated their Level 2 state at the same time.
Sakon and Ukon even separated, one on the left and one on the right, surrounding Kimimaro in the middle.
All four members of the Sound Four had activated their strongest state.
The brief exchange just now made them realize Kimimaro's power, and they no longer had any contempt in their hearts.
"Now this is getting interesting."
Kimimaro smiled slightly, not showing any fear, but instead, a bit more fighting spirit.
"Hmph, enjoy it while you can. Soon you'll know how powerful the cursed seal Lord Orochimaru bestowed upon us is!"
Seeing that Kimimaro could still smile, Sakon felt extremely annoyed.
Kimimaro was completely looking down on them.
Jirobo charged forward again!
With his strength increased tenfold, he recklessly crashed into Kimimaro!
His right shoulder transformed into an incredibly powerful ramming weapon, capable of shattering a person's internal organs.
"Die! Domu!"
Jirobo shouted, his momentum and attack reaching their peak.
Kimimaro clenched his left fist and punched Jirobo's charging right shoulder!
"The Power!"
He shouted inwardly, activating the Clow Card of Power!
The power in his left fist suddenly surged!
It was as if it possessed a thousand pounds of force!
The left fist emitted a white light, slamming onto Jirobo's right shoulder, which had concentrated all his strength.
Crack!
A crisp sound, and Jirobo's expression changed.
"Ah!"
Then a scream came from his mouth.
The bones in his right shoulder were shattered!
The immense force continued, quickly affecting his entire body.
Jirobo felt like he had crashed into a speeding train, his entire body flying backward faster than his Domu charge!
Boom!
Another hole appeared in the wall.
Smoke and dust rose, and Jirobo lost consciousness, falling into a coma.
One strike!
Another one-hit knockout!
Jirobo had activated his Level 2 state, his strength increased tenfold, but his second encounter with Kimimaro didn't change anything.
Instead, he was injured even more severely and tragically than the first time.
In the contest of strength that Jirobo was most proud of, Kimimaro had won a landslide victory.
"Good opportunity!"
Just as this attack ended, Kidomaru released the sticky gold arrow that had been aimed for a long time!
This was the perfect chance!
Whoosh!
The sticky gold arrow swept through the air with a whistling wind!
The spiraling arrowhead brought even greater penetrating power.
Boom!
Where the arrow passed, there was a startling sonic boom!
The fired arrow reached behind Kimimaro in an instant.
Unavoidable!
The next moment, a bone sword emerged from Kimimaro's right palm. Without any hesitation, he turned around and slashed!
"The Sword!"
The white bone sword was instantly dyed with black light, slashing at the incoming sticky gold arrow!
An astonishing scene unfolded!
The pitch-black blade actually split the sticky gold arrow in half!
Split into two!
After being split, the sticky gold arrow swiftly passed by Kimimaro's side!
"How is this possible!"
Kidomaru's eyes widened.
He could accept Kimimaro dodging his arrow, but he couldn't accept the scene before him.
A sword splitting an arrow!
How fast were his reflexes?
Moreover, his arrows were made of extremely hard sticky gold.
Their strength was definitely not comparable to ordinary weapons.
At such a speed, Kimimaro actually split it with a bone sword?
Bone swords were indeed sturdy, but how could they have such a sharp blade?
This scene filled Kidomaru's heart with doubts.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
Tayuya formed hand seals and summoned her summoning creatures - the Three Ghosts!
One was the Club Ghost, the second was the Talon Ghost, and the third was the Bandage Ghost.
Their massive five-meter-tall bodies brought a sense of oppression.
Demonic Flute: Phantom Sound Dance!
The melodious flute sound echoed once again, and the Three Ghosts began to attack along with the melody!
The club slammed down, the talons slashed out!
The Bandage Ghost charged forward!
The Three Ghosts' coordination was extremely seamless!
This time, Kimimaro chose to dodge.
Secret Technique: Sideways Shuffle!
But at this moment, Sakon and Ukon finally launched their attack.
Left and right pincer attack!
The two simultaneously spun their bodies, transforming into spirals, and attacked Kimimaro from both sides!
The Bandage Ghost charged from the front, the Talon Ghost's blades from behind, the Club Ghost's club smashed down from above, and Sakon and Ukon's spiral attacks from the left and right.
In an instant, all of Kimimaro's escape routes were sealed.
"Their coordination is quite good. It seems the Sound Four isn't just a group name like the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. Their teamwork has been honed to a considerable level."
Kimimaro rarely gave a positive evaluation of the Sound Four.
However, that was all.
"Silence Barrier!"
The flute sound in the Three Ghosts' ears instantly disappeared.
Losing the flute sound that controlled them, their attacks immediately stopped.
Flash Step!
Taking advantage of this gap, Kimimaro tapped his toes and disappeared from the encirclement.
At the same time, he appeared on top of the Club Ghost, kicking it down!
Bang!
The Club Ghost fell to the ground, and Sakon and Ukon's attacks directly hit it.
"What's going on?"
Seeing the completely motionless Three Ghosts, Tayuya was puzzled.
"Tayuya, watch out behind you!"
Kidomaru exclaimed, and only then did Tayuya realize that Kimimaro was standing behind her at some point.
