Chapter 101: Defeating the Snake (Part 2)
Watching the incoming ninjutsu, the three children behind him were so frightened by the power of the techniques that their faces turned pale. But Kiyoshi showed no fear. Dōjutsu power flowed slightly in his right eye, and he calmly took out his mask from the Takamagahara space, elegantly put it on, and then dispelled the Transformation Technique. Orochimaru was not an easy opponent to deal with, and fighting him while transformed was not a wise choice.
"Stay safely hidden to the side!" Kiyoshi said casually to the three children behind him, while clasping his hands together. With such heavy rain, using Water Release was extremely easy.
"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"
A water screen appeared in front of Kiyoshi, blocking all the ninjutsu.
In this rainy weather, even Fire Release enhanced by Wind Release would be somewhat weakened, while Kiyoshi's Water Formation Wall had the advantage of the weather. Therefore, the first wave from both sides was a draw.
"Buzz buzz buzz!!!"
A noisy buzzing of insects came, it was the insects of the Aburame clan ninja. The Water Formation Wall couldn't stop these little things.
Sweeping his Jōgan across, Kiyoshi directly locked onto the Aburame clan ninja's position. "Take out this troublesome insect user first!" Then his hand seals changed.
"Lightning Release: Ground Run!"
The ground, full of rainwater, became the best conductor for lightning. Except for Orochimaru, who reacted in time and quickly jumped back to dodge, and the Aburame clan ninja, who avoided it using an insect clone, the other four Hidden Leaf Jōnin were caught off guard and instantly paralyzed in place.
Kiyoshi's performance didn't fit their impression of a Kaguya clan bloodline ninja who had awakened the Bone Pulse at all. It could only be said that wrong intelligence could kill people.
However, they didn't have the chance to correct their impression anymore. Kiyoshi once again used the dōjutsu "Takamagahara," this time taking out his weapon, the Twin Swords, Hiramekarei.
The moment he held Hiramekarei, Chakra frantically surged into its interior. Without wasting time to charge up, the Hidden Leaf ninjas in their paralyzed state were the best targets.
Kiyoshi separated Hiramekarei, turning it into true twin swords, then held them crossed in both hands and slashed heavily forward. Since he couldn't control the most annoying insect user, he would clear the field first.
"Twin Swords Ninjutsu: Bone Extraction!"
(The move that Chōjūrō used to attack Ōtsutsuki Kinshiki. I remember it being called this name, but I couldn't find it in the official databook. Does anyone know if it's correct?)
Several Chakra light spikes pierced straight towards the vital points of the four Hidden Leaf ninjas who were controlled, and with Kiyoshi's Jōgan's lock-on, there was no possibility of deviation. The Chakra light spikes instantly pierced their hearts. These four nameless supporting Jōnin didn't even have time to say a word before being sent to meet the Sage of Six Paths in less than one exchange.
However, at this time, the Parasitic Insects controlled by the Aburame clan ninja arrived near Kiyoshi. He originally thought that under the cover of night, his Parasitic Insects would easily be overlooked by Kiyoshi, but little did he know that the Parasitic Insects flying all over the sky were clearly visible in Kiyoshi's Jōgan.
"Secret Technique: Insect Tornado!"
The Aburame clan ninja manipulated a large number of Parasitic Insects that had already spread near Kiyoshi to form a whirlwind of insects, enveloping Kiyoshi in the middle.
At the same time, Orochimaru's next wave of ninjutsu was completed. Orochimaru had already started forming hand seals while jumping back to dodge Kiyoshi's Lightning Release. The technique was completed just as he landed.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Great Bullet!!!"
The B-rank Wind Release used by the Kage-level powerhouse Orochimaru was terrifyingly powerful. A huge compressed air cannon roared straight towards Kiyoshi.
Kiyoshi was expressionless, not afraid at all. It was just a head-on clash. Who was afraid of whom!
"Hiramekarei: Release!"
Kiyoshi rejoined the twin swords, then a huge Chakra bullet violently shot out from the sword, colliding head-on with the rapidly approaching air cannon.
"Boom!!!"
The collision produced a huge explosion. The dense rain curtain seemed to pause for an instant, rainwater rolled back, and thick smoke rose. But this couldn't stop Kiyoshi, who possessed the Jōgan. He locked onto the Aburame clan ninja's position through the smoke in an instant.
"It's your turn." Kiyoshi's lips curled up slightly. He returned the Twin Swords, Hiramekarei, to the Takamagahara space, and his spinal bone rapidly pierced through his clothes from his back.
"Shikotsumyaku: Dance of the Iron Wire Flower! Vines!"
The snow-white bone whip silently passed through the smoke and quickly swung towards the Aburame clan ninja's direction.
The Aburame clan ninja sensed the Parasitic Insects' frantic warning. He hurriedly wanted to dodge, but it was already too late. His body couldn't keep up with his thoughts. The bone whip instantly wrapped around his body, tightly binding him.
"Damn it...!!!" The Aburame clan ninja struggled, wanting to break free from the restraints, wanting to use the insect clone again, but the bone whip tightened more and more, and it was attached with some Yin-Yang Release Chakra, hindering the flow of Chakra in his body and leaving him without any means of resistance.
"It's over," Kiyoshi said faintly, forcefully pulling the bone whip towards his direction, while his body shot forward like an arrow released from a bowstring.
"Shikotsumyaku: Dance of the Iron Wire Flower! Blossom!"
The sharp bone drill pierced through the Aburame clan ninja's body head-on, and instantly, blood splattered everywhere. But at this moment, Orochimaru's attack also arrived.
"Ninja Art: Hidden Shadow Many Snake Hands!!!"
At the cost of the Aburame clan ninja being killed by Kiyoshi, Orochimaru finally caught Kiyoshi. Several thick pythons shot out from Orochimaru's sleeves, tightly缠绕ing Kiyoshi's body.
Although Kiyoshi didn't care about this attack, the feeling of these slippery pythons缠绕ing his body was not pleasant at all. Bone spurs pierced through his body again, piercing through the pythons缠绕ing his body surface. The corpses of pythons continuously fell from Kiyoshi's body.
"Shikotsumyaku: Dance of the Tang Pine!"
However, Orochimaru didn't care about the life and death of these pythons at all. This kind of ordinary python was abundant in Ryūchidō. Countless pythons continuously drilled out from his sleeves one after another, enduring the damage from the bone spurs to tightly bind Kiyoshi.
"Heh!" Kiyoshi chuckled lightly. As expected, a cold-blooded snake.
Immediately afterwards, the dōjutsu "Sukuna Hikona" activated. Kiyoshi suddenly disappeared from Orochimaru's sight just like that. The group of pythons that were frantically bound Kiyoshi's body Entanglement also suddenly lost their target and all fell to the ground.
Orochimaru's eerie snake pupils suddenly contracted violently. The scene of Kiyoshi suddenly disappearing exceeded his understanding. He had never encountered this kind of way to escape his restraints before. However, Orochimaru was indeed the most proud disciple of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, the man who would master the core technology of the ninja world in the future. He quickly calmed down, and his senses rapidly swept across the surroundings, but he was surprised to find that Kiyoshi's aura hadn't moved at all and was still staying in place.
At this moment, Kiyoshi's figure appeared again, indeed in the same spot. Orochimaru looked at the sky-blue pupils under Kiyoshi's mask and suddenly understood.
"It seems it's some kind of dōjutsu! It can shrink his body!" Orochimaru thought to himself. Having seen through the mystery of Kiyoshi breaking free from his restraints, Orochimaru felt assured. With his extremely high combat IQ, he had already learned the relevant information about "Sukuna Hikona."
