"Ree!!!"
The Fusion Beast monster bird howled loudly, the sound waves spreading and almost tearing everyone's eardrums.
But no matter how it struggled, it couldn't move its body even half an inch, the Vipers and vines binding its wings creaking.
Orochimaru and Shin fixed their cold gazes on Hiruko at the same time, as if as long as he nodded, the two would tear and destroy this Fusion Beast that had turned on its master.
Hiruko opened his arms, half-squinting eyes, completely unaware of the danger he was in.
At this moment, he was in a state of excitement, like a great artist who had just completed his work, indulging in his own creation and unable to extricate himself.
"Kill it?" Shin tilted his head, more wooden vines emerging from his arm.
"No hurry." Orochimaru obviously understood Hiruko's mood at the moment, and even he held an attitude of appreciation and expectation for successful experimental subjects, even regarding them as his own.
The corner of his mouth rose, curling into a wicked smile, "But, crippling it shouldn't be a problem."
As soon as he finished speaking, two thick Vipers suddenly opened their poisonous fangs and bit down on the monster bird's leg with a "Kacha".
The monster bird cried out in pain, after all, that position was the only place not covered by bone armor, and Orochimaru found its weakness at a glance.
"Whoa whoa whoa! Take it easy, brothers!" Hiruko woke up from his dream and immediately gave Orochimaru a resentful look, "This child has just been born, and can't stand the torment of a monster like you!"
"Is the Kimaera Technique only this powerful? It seems like it still can't keep up with my pace." Orochimaru smiled playfully.
"It's just a matter of time." Hiruko smiled slightly, without much emotional fluctuation, "Please give this late-blooming genius a little time."
"Then how should we deal with this monster bird? I can directly subdue it with Genjutsu, forcing it to sign a new Summoning Contract with you."
Shin's execution was frighteningly fast, and as he asked this question, he had already revealed his Mangekyo Sharingan, the exquisite sunflower pattern rotating slightly.
"Why not test its abilities?" Hiruko rubbed his hands, his tone filled with a faint excitement.
"Oh, but don't kill it." He quickly added, "This child is currently my only means of dealing with enemies."
"Hmph, then, let's stretch our muscles." Orochimaru moved his neck.
Shin didn't speak, increasingly feeling out of place with the two.
The two exerted force at the same time, the Vipers and wooden vines suddenly stretched straight, and the force immediately exploded, throwing the monster bird far into the sky.
In the whistling wind, the monster bird's body flipped several times, and soon stabilized its flight, the wings and bird legs damaged by the restraints slowly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Hiruko nodded in satisfaction, "The Banra Pig's self-healing, it seems to have perfectly inherited it, as long as it's not a fatal injury, it can automatically repair itself over time."
At this moment, the monster bird hovering in the sky howled, its eyes filled with fierce light, and facing the three people on the snow, it suddenly flapped its wings.
"Swish swish swish swish swish!"
One after another, emerald green feathers poured down like a rainstorm, and on each feather, there was also a scarlet rune engraved, in the center of the spider web-like technique, the word "Explode" slowly burned, melting and evaporating the surrounding snowflakes.
"They are Exploding Tags!" Shin recognized the runes on those feathers.
In fact, without his reminder, Orochimaru sensed the explosive and scorching aura in the air at the first moment, and his mind immediately recalled the "Explode" word technique on the tortoise shell of the chimera before fusion.
It also fused the advantages of these Shinobi Beasts...
Shin looked up at the burning feathers in the sky, and took out a handful of Exploding Tag Kunai from his waist pouch.
Ordinary explosions naturally wouldn't hurt him, but if he allowed these exploding feathers to fall to the ground, this relatively empty experimental site would be ruined, and the cleanup work would be quite exhausting.
And the best way to deal with Exploding Tags is to detonate them in advance!
His hands moved rapidly, so fast that they left afterimages in the air. Countless Kunai with Exploding Tags shot out, heading straight for the feathers in mid-air.
"Wind Release: Gale Palm!"
Orochimaru clapped his hands together, and the surrounding airflow surged. With the crisp sound of his palms as the trigger, he compressed the airflow into a large-scale storm, which surged out and soared upwards, boosting the Kunai to make contact with the feathers at an even faster speed.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Thick smoke billowed, and continuous explosions echoed through the mountains. The originally hazy sky immediately darkened.
Shin'yu revealed a confident smile. With the enhancement of his powerful dynamic vision and precise Shuriken Throwing Technique, each Kunai accurately found its target. He even calculated Orochimaru's Wind Release boost into his calculations.
With a "whoosh," an arrow-like figure pierced through the smoke screen, the air violently shaking, followed by a milky white sonic cone, slamming towards the three of them.
"I'll handle it."
Shin'yu took a step forward, his black hair moving without wind, his body flashing with clear golden lightning. Accompanied by streaks of orange light that cut through the air, a huge, half-body giant projected from within him.
Susanoo, Second Stage.
He didn't activate the Thunder Hammer and Thunder Cannon, but simply controlled the Susanoo to open a Big Hand, steadily catching the monster bird's impact, as if catching a cannonball.
"Boom!!!!"
A visible shockwave suddenly spread, stirring up snowflakes that danced wildly with the storm!
Hiruko was caught off guard and swept away by the huge impact. The strong wind messed up his lab coat, outlining his thin figure.
Orochimaru moved, using the Body Flicker Technique to flash and steadily appear behind Hiruko, catching him. The two of them skidded a long distance in the snow.
The moment he touched Hiruko's arm, Orochimaru was stunned. That rib-like feeling, even through the sleeves, was uncomfortably bony.
He couldn't help but turn his head, and what came into view was Hiruko's fanatical expression.
"How is it! Is my Fusion Beast not bad?" he shouted loudly.
The falling snow dissipated. In the arena, the Susanoo's two huge arms simultaneously grabbed the monster bird's wings. With just a forceful tear, it could tear the monster bird in half.
Shin'yu turned his head slightly, with an inquiring look, "Continue?"
Hiruko coughed a few times and waved his hand, "Let's end it here, I already know its strength."
Shin'yu nodded, turned his head to look at the monster bird, and at the moment of eye contact, his scarlet eyes bloomed with light.
As powerful mental energy suddenly swept over, the monster bird stopped struggling almost without any resistance and became quiet again.
Orochimaru looked at Hiruko, who was walking towards the monster bird step by step, and frowned, asking, "Are you going to fuse with it?"
"This bird's strength is not weak, but it's far from enough. I think any Kage can kill it," Shin'yu gave a pertinent evaluation, but his words were advising Hiruko to consider carefully.
He didn't really want Hiruko to become such a grotesque monster. Whether as his friend or as Grand Uncle's disciple, it would be undignified.
Hiruko waved his hand, "How is that possible? This guy is just a Summoning Beast, temporarily acting as my mount."
Saying that, he took out the Summoning Scroll, dripped each other's blood on it, and re-completed the contract.
