Chapter 538: Kimimaro Vs Sound Four

Fwish Fwish

After absorbing nature energy, Kimimaro's skin turns tan. A cyan glow flickers in his eyes.

Pop pop

The bones within his body make a popping sound and readjust their density and composition.

Shua Shua

Several bone fragments jut out from Kimimaro's arms, shoulders, legs, chest, and back.

"Shikotsumyaku: Larch Bone Guard,"

Snap Snap

Kimimaro snaps the long-bone fragments from his elbow and wields them like swords.

"W-what the What's he?"

The eyes of Sound Four widen in shock.

"I thought we were creepy, but this guy is on a whole different level!" Tayuya murmurs to herself.

Whoosh Whoosh

Sakon, Ukon, and Jirb charge towards Kimimaro. Kidmaru jumps up on the walls of the barrier and creates a spider web. He hangs upside down from the spider web and spews out his golden organic secretion. Tayuya also falls back and takes out a bone flute from her pocket.

<Sound Release: Melody of Impending Doom,"

She presses her lips against the bone flute and plays a deadly tune that enraptures her surroundings.

Clang clang

Kimimaro trades blows with the three Sound Four members. He blocks their relentless attacks with his bone blades.

"Arhat Rising Wave Slam,"

Jirb lifts his leg in the air above Kimimaro's head and strikes it down.

BANG

Kimimaro raises his arm and blocks the attack with the bone structure around his arm. The force from the attack creates multiple fissures on the ground.

Shua

An extremely fast arrow flies out of nowhere and targets Kimimaro's exposed head.

Ding...

The bones on Kimimaro's back extend and deflect the arrow.

Tch

Kidmaru clicks his tongue.

"Does he have eyes on his back?"

Whoosh

He jumps around and changes his position.

HAAH

Kimimaro swings his leg and performs a roundhouse kick.

Whoosh

Jirb jumps back to avoid the lethal razor-sharp bones on Kimimaro's legs.

Swish

A bone fragment extends out from the toe and scraps past Jirb's chest.

The bone pierces the upper layer of Jirb's body and leaves a diagonal scar across Jirb's chest.

Blood leaks from Jirb's chest. The latter holds his chest with one hand and warily glances at Kimimaro.

Clang clang

Kimimaro blocks two claw attacks from Sakon and Ukon with his bone blade.

Hehe

A smile appears on Sakon's and Ukon's body as their claws grab the bone blades.

"Our Kekkei Genkai allows us to manipulate the body structure of living beings at a molecular level and that also involves the bones."

The bone blades in Kimimaro's hands slowly melt into slag.

Whoosh

Kimimaro swiftly abandons the blades and jumps back.

"Where are you going?"

Thump

Kimimaro pauses in mid-air. Tayuya's sound attack affects his senses. The sound of her flute slowly enraptures his mind, and he falls into her genjutsu.

<Sound Release: Demonic Flute: Phantom Sound Chains>

Kimimaro's vision blurs and he appears on a barren landscape strewn with partial skeletons and broken bones. His arms and legs are restrained by ropes suspended from the sky.

With another sound wave, Kimimaro's flesh begins to melt.

"Just give up on resisting and accept your fate!" Tayuya speaks while playing her flute.

Aargh

Kimimaro's eyes turn red as Tayuya's hypnosis begins to affect his mind. The bloodthirsty thoughts that he was suppressing with his will begins to surface. He grabs his head and releases a painful shriek.

KILL!

KILL KILL!

KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL!

KIIILLLL!!

In the outside world, Sakon and Ukon's hands make contact with the bones around Kimimaro's body.

The bones slowly melt into slag and fall to the ground.

Aaargh

Kimimaro releases a bloodthirsty roar as a dark red aura surrounds his body. More bone fragments erupt from his body and pierce through Sakon and Ukon's hands.

Swoosh

Both of them quickly retreat and warily glance toward Kimimaro. Blood leaks from Tayuya's ears as a result of the backlash of her genjutsu.

"What's with his mind? I have never seen someone with so much bloodlust!" Tayuya stares at Kimimaro with fear.

Swish swish

Kidmaru uses this opportunity and launches several arrows toward Kimimaro's back. The arrows pierce through Kimimaro's back and pin him to the ground.

"Bullseye!"

Kidmaru licks his lips and nocks another arrow on his bow to finish Kimimaro off.

Aaargh

Kimimaro screams in agony. The smell of blood tingles his senses and unleashed the full wrath of his years of suppressed bloodlust and killer instincts.

A gray chakra seeps out of Kimimaro's body. More bone fragments sprout from Kimimaro's body and cover his entire body in bone armor. The gray chakra diffuses into the bones and colors them gray.

The exoskeleton of bones, horns, and several bone protrusions gives Kimimaro a demonic appearance.

<Shikotsumyaku: Dance of Clematis: Leaf>

Back at the In-Y HQ,

"It has been a while since he let loose his bloodlust. Well, it's his natural instinct as a member of the Kaguya clan, which I helped him suppress. I will let him play with these kids for a while."

Whoosh

Kimimaro kicks the ground and flickers toward the Sound Four.

"Don't underestimate me!"

Jirb picks up a gigantic chunk of earth.

"Arhat Boulder Smash,"

He tosses the giant chunk of earth toward Kimimaro.

HAAH

Kimimaro screams and punches the boulder with his fists.

BANG

The boulder pauses mid-air.

Crack crack

Cracks appear on the boulder and it shatters into countless small fragments.

HAHAH

Kimimaro laughs hysterically and waves his hand to expel several bone bullets.

The bullet clashes with the arrows of the Kidmaru and explodes.

BAM BAM

Kimimaro covers his fists with another layer of bone armor and trades blows with Jirb.

"Damn it! He is much stronger than before."

"W-what? Jirb lost a battle in brute strength." The rest of the group stares in surprise.

EHAHAHA

Kimimaro laughs manically and grabs the claw attack of Sakon. Sakon's touch melts his bones, but Kimimaro pays no heed to it. He stretches his other arm to create a bone knife.

"He has lost his mind!" Kidmaru yells to warn Sakon.

STAB

However, it's too late. Kimimaro stabs the bone knife through Sakon's stomach. The sharp bone knife easily penetrates through Sakon's black scales, much to the latter's surprise.

<Shikotsumyaku: Dance of Clematis: Flower>

Fwoosh Fua

The bone knife in Sakon's body opens into several bone fragments like a blooming flower. Each of these bone petals pierces through Sakon's internal organ.

Bleurgh

Sakon pukes out a mouthful of blood. Several bone shards expel from his back. The pupil of Sakon's eyes turns white, and he began to lose consciousness.

<Arhat Mountain Splitting Charge>

Jirb stomps on the ground and charges toward Kimimaro.

BANG

His shoulder strikes Kimimaro's body. The various bones around Kimimaro's shoulder penetrate through Jirb's flesh. Jirb moans in pain but continues his charge, nonetheless.

BANG

He smashes Kimimaro's body into the hard surface of the barrier. The entire barrier trembles as a result of the crash.

Swish

Kidmaru expels a spider-web from his mouth and pulls Sakon's body. He tosses Sakon to Ukon and notches six arrows on his bow.

Bleurgh

Jirb pukes a mouthful of blood.

BANG

Kimimaro clenches his fist and punches Jirb in the guts.

Shoom

Jirb is sent flying as a result.

MUHAHA

Kimimaro stomps the ground and charges toward Jirb's flying body.

Bang

He lands another kick on Jirb's gut and sends him crashing.

Shua

Kidmaru fires six arrows toward Kimimaro and expels a spider cobweb from his mouth to grab Jirb.

"SAKON!"

Ukon quickly presses his hand on Sakon's chest. He melts and expels Kimimaro's bone shards out of Sakon's body.

"His vitals are rapidly deteriorating."

Ukon inserts his hand into Sakon's body and merges with him.

AH!

Sakon opens his eyes and gasps. He inhales a large amount of air and coughs to expel some black blood.

"I thought I died for a second. Thanks for the help, Sakon."

"No problem, Ukon!"

Ding ding

Kimimaro deflects Kidmaru's arrows with his bone blades. The latter expel multiple cobwebs from his mouth to bind Kimimaro.

The cobwebs stick to Kimimaro's body and stop his momentum.

The Sound Four regroups and stares at a struggling Kimimaro with evident fear.

"This guy is too much! My genjutsu doesn't affect him. Worse, it even made him mad!" Tayuya spouts multiple curses at Kimimaro.

"That's not ladylike, Tayuya!"

Jirb walks beside her.

Bleugh

He pulls out a bone fragment from his shoulder while spitting blood in the process. Kidmaru also stands beside him.

All of them wipe blood on their palm.

"Sound Ninja Four: Summoning Jutsu,"

"Sound Ninja Four: Summoning Jutsu,"

"Four Corner Beast Formation!"

"Four Corner Beast Formation!"

Poof Poof

Multiple clouds of white smoke shroud the battlefield.
