Chapter 17: Battle

Kinryû Arimoto sliced through the air, producing a sharp and piercing sound that sent shivers down one's spine.

Kaguya's emerald Sharingan narrowed abruptly, and a chill surged from his back to the nape of his neck.

"Oh no!"

"Block it!"

He shouted inwardly, instantly forming a bone shield in front of him.

Almost simultaneously, a torrential rain of Kunai, blotting out the sky, fiercely collided with his bone shield.

The tremendous power bombarded him dozens, even hundreds of times in an instant.

Behind the bone shield, Kinryû Arimoto's arms swelled and turned crimson.

Each attack caused countless capillaries to burst, resulting in a profusion of blood.

A mist of crimson formed around him.

Bone fragments continued to fly against the bone shield, eventually shattering it completely.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Countless Kunai bombarded his skeletal body in an instant.

Every impact, every vibration inflicted pain upon his internal organs.

His ears, eyes, neck, and skin were gradually chipped away.

Chi! Chi! Chi!

Blood sprayed incessantly.

Amidst the all-encompassing pain, Kinryû Arimoto felt utter despair.

"Ah!"

He howled in agony, overwhelmed by the ceaseless onslaught of Kunai.

It was as if an iron torrential rain relentlessly bombarded him.

The earth quaked.

Smoke and dust billowed from the ground, giving rise to a colossal dust wave that dispersed into the distance.

When the debris settled, only a massive crater remained.

And within it, a ravaged corpse.

"It seems your defense was insufficient!"

Chiba remarked as he surveyed Kinryû's lifeless body.

The power Chiba unleashed moments ago likely surpassed even Susanoo's attack.

Kinryû Arimoto's next move would astonish him.

[Gain up to 3000 Chakra points]

[Obtain the Blood Successor's Limit: Dead Bone Pulse]

[Acquire the secret art: Bone Knife]

[Learn the secret technique: Dance of the Fern]

...

A pleasant voice resounded in Chiba's ears.

The power of the Dead Bone Pulse gradually melded into his body.

Chiba felt that he could extract hardened bones from his body and shape them into weapons at will.

However, considering Kimimaro's illness, he refrained from experimenting immediately.

Turning around, he caught sight of a tall figure not far away.

Terumi Mei!

"Somebody defeated Kaguya Ao with just a Kunai! How is that possible?!" Terumi Mei exclaimed, her body trembling in horror.

The strength displayed was far beyond her imagination, almost surpassing what she witnessed when Kaguya Ao faced off against a Tailed Beast.

Her mind went blank, forgetting even to flee.

Terumi Mei stared blankly at Chiba's youthful visage, her expression filled with terror.

Chiba, too, gazed back at her.

In this moment, Terumi Mei's face turned pale, drenched in cold sweat, truly unbecoming.

Observing her unwavering gaze, Chiba couldn't help but speak.

"Have you seen enough?"

Terumi Mei trembled all over, snapped out of her daze, and nervously inquired,

"Who are you?"

Chiba's lips curled into a grin upon hearing her question, and he introduced himself.

"I am Uchiha Chiba!"

"It's you?!"

Terumi Mei's complexion drastically changed, her trembling was exacerbated.

Once, Chiba was an enigma.

But today, Chiba had become renowned throughout the ninja world.

Chiba Uchiha, the Genocidal Executioner, the most vicious defector...

As she contemplated
