Infiltration (2)

Looking around Rei couldn't see anyone or spot the sound of this voice but that didn't stop it from talking. "I can see why Lord Orochimaru would be interested in you. For someone so young to have the capability to use such strong Lightning Style Jutsu is impressive indeed." The voice sounded young and calm personally Rei couldn't feel any sort of bloodlust.

Listening to the voice while remaining silent Rei felt he understood things better now. 'So that's why he wants me. He's interested in Kido.' Knowing that Rei decided not to deny it. Correcting him would only make things worse in the long run. "I'm guessing you're not Orochimaru so where is he and who are you?"

While asking these questions Rei began to walk down the metal stairway slowly and carefully. "I'm afraid Lord Orochimaru isn't here right now. Although I was supposed to go with him to assist in the mission I was told to wait here for your arrival. Though your escape was not expected." As the voice's words echoed off the walls Rei finally made it to the bottom of the stairway.

"Of course now that you've escaped…" The voice went silent as Rei's guard was immediately raised. It was then that he heard the sound of tapping on metal along with the rustling of clothes coming from above him. Drawing Ryujin Jakka he attacked before he could even see who was above him.

However, Rei's attack stopped midway causing him to quickly take a step back before repositioning himself. "You still haven't told me who you are." Watching as a white-haired boy landed on the ground Rei noticed something strange. Protruding out of his right palm was a long white spike and it only took a couple of seconds for Rei to realize what that spike was.

"Is that a bone?" Although he was talking to himself the white-haired boy heard it. Raising his right hand he looked at the spike sticking out of his right hand. "My name is Kimimaro and indeed this is a bone. I can manipulate it due to my clan's Kekkei Genkai. In truth, bone can be as strong or even stronger than steel. However, despite that, you still managed to cut through it."

Referring to the relatively deep cut in the bone protruding out of his right hand. "I can see why Lord Orochimaru left me here to watch over you." Rei tried his best to process this information while also focusing on Kimimaro.

'Not every clan has a Kekkei Genkai from what I know means he's probably extremely strong. And judging from the fact Orochimaru left him here to take care of me he's probably the only person who knows where he is.' Coming to a conclusion Rei spoke. "I'm guessing you won't tell me where Orochimaru is without me forcing it out of you."

Kimimaro remained silent for a moment before replying. "Sadly you are correct and that also means I'm going to have to recapture you." The confidence in Kimimaro's voice was coupled with a sudden dash as a bone sword shot out of his hand. 'Compared to those random sound ninjas from before he's a lot faster.' Not wanting to retreat Rei prepared to meet him head-on.

The two became a blur for a moment before clashing. Without any other abilities, the two fought blade to blade. Swinging from the right Ryujin Jakka crossed Kimimaro's bone's causing them to be locked in a stalemate. Pushing with his legs Rei had a strength advantage as he began to cut through the bone sword Kimimaro made.

However, it was after Kimimaro's legs buckled slightly that the side of his clothes began to bulge. Reacting slightly late, Rei saw three bones that looked like rib's launching out the side of Kimimaro's body. 'Dam, so they aren't just restricted to weapon use.' Backstepping as quickly as he could Rei still got hit lightly as the ribs ripped through his clothes leaving six scratches on the side of his body.

'He has good reaction speed despite luging that sword around. However, I doubt he can keep it up.' Kimimaro suddenly jumped into the air before spinning around multiple times like a gyro. Looking up in the air Rei saw dozens up dozens of little bones rained down. Watching as they pierced into the stone floor he didn't what to know what would happen if one of them hit him.

Holding his hand out straight in front of him Rei didn't have time to even speak the incantation. "Bakudo #14: Shaindifensu!" Holding his hands outwards something began to form. Starting as an outline quickly, an orange pyramid-shaped shield formed in front of Rei's body. One by one the bone fragments hit the shield however they could not penetrate it.

Realizing Kimimaro's stopped his assault before landing back on the ground. Staring at the pyramid-shaped shield in front of Rei Kimimaro was surprised. 'I've never seen a Jutsu like that before. It doesn't look like it's made of any element in particular so it may be linked to his clan's Kekkei Genkai. I'll have to test it one more time.'

Crouching down low Kimimaro launched himself at Rei, coating himself in a bunch of sharp bones protruding from his body. "Dance of the Willow." Seemingly to move in a rhythm, Kimimaro's movements became more fluid as he attacked with his entire body all at once. "You should have been more careful." Watching as Kimimaro flew towards him Rei held out his hands.

"Bakudo #9: Horin!" Soon a spiraling ball of orange and yellow Reiryoku appeared in front of Rei's hands before Kimimaro could stop his attack. Shooting out as an orange and yellow rope it acted like a snake binding Kimimaro mid-air. "Geh." Not being able to break free despite his struggling Rei lifted his hands in the air before slamming them downwards.

Following this action, Kimimaro's entire body was lifted high up before being sent hurtling down. Slamming into the rocks below to the point they cracked and shattered he was dazed. Dispersing the Bakudo on impact Rei watched as Kimimaro staggered to his feet. However, instead of attacking directly, Rei began to chant.

"Surround and destroy, multiply and encompass, make my enemies fall and shower them in your radiant light." Hearing Rei's chant, Kimimaro quickly began to look around him. Starting as one slightly transparent yellow orb Kimimaro saw as it began to create copies of itself and those copies began to make copies as well.

Soon he found himself surrounded by these strange yellow orbs. "What is this?" Looking around cautiously while also being slightly frantic he heard Rei reach the end of his chant. "Hado #15: Hokatsu Firudo." Suddenly all of the yellow orbs began to move, traveling faster than Kimimaro could ever hope to dodge.

Understanding this he did the only thing he could do before these yellow orbs made contact with his body. Creating as many bones as he could he formed a semi shield around himself. On contact with these bones the yellow orb's glow before erupting creating a chain reaction. One after another they all began to glow before finally exploding.

The ground began to shake multiple times as over fifty different explosions rang out one after another. Covering his face with his free arm Rei avoided the flying rubble and rocks from entering his eyes as the explosions began to stop. Peering into the smoke-filled area in front of him Kimimaro's figure came into view.

The bone shield he had made was effective to an extent but didn't come close to stopping the damage. A lot of his bones were broken and or shattered with a bunch of burn marks or puncture wounds from the rocks covering his body. Retracting the bones covering his body Kimimaro fell to his knees while breathing heavily.

Walking up to him slowly Rei felt relieved that had actually worked. "Now you're going to tell me exactly where Orochimaru went."
