Chapter 581: Kakashi vs. Hiruko
"Really? Kakashi-sensei has his own plan?" Naruto's eyes widened.
Shikamaru nodded helplessly. "Yes, Kakashi-sensei's combat experience is so rich, and he's always known for his meticulousness. He has his own plan. You don't need to worry about him."
"And Ino?"
"You don't need to worry about Ino either."
Naruto had a sudden realization. "So that's how it is!"
The group immediately slowed down. Choji even used local materials to make lunch for them.
Ino's shadow clone soon caught up.
She didn't know about the battle on the main body's side, but she knew the main body was very safe and didn't need Naruto and the others to worry too much.
When Sakura saw her appear, regardless of whether it was a shadow clone or not, she immediately felt a lot more at ease.
The team ate and drank their fill and then set off again.
Even someone as strong as Six Paths Madara could be backstabbed by Black Zetsu. Ino's shadow clone reminded them to be careful. There were too many examples of people failing at the last minute. Don't regret it when you're dead.
Under her persuasion, even Naruto had to slow down and move forward cautiously.
In the laboratory more than ten miles away.
At this time, Hiruko's situation was not good. Just before he was about to be devoured by the Chimera Technique, Kakashi's dazed eyes suddenly regained their clarity, and he punched a large hole in the middle of Hiruko's body with a Lightning Cutter.
The Chimera Technique had to be activated ahead of time. A large amount of thick, paste-like liquid attached to his wound and quickly repaired his body.
This liquid had adhesive properties and continued to spread. Soon, the bodies of Gari, who had Explosion Release, Toroi, who had Magnet Release, Pakura, who had Scorch Release, and the sensory ninja Chūkichi, who used a special kekkei genkai, were successively sucked into the viscous liquid created by the Chimera Technique. All of their cells turned into life force and became nourishment for Hiruko's body.
The Chimera Technique had the character for "demon" in its name; this was not a benevolent ninjutsu.
Seize, devour, fuse. Hiruko had absorbed the four bodies into his own in a crude and hasty manner.
The adhesive property of the Chimera Technique also stuck the kekkei genkai abilities to his body.
"More, I want more!" The solar eclipse shone directly on Hiruko's head through a special structure in the experimental base. It was a bit like Ino's previous patchwork attempt with the Spirit Transformation Technique, but it barely made up for the lack of Yang nature chakra.
Relying on the four bodies, he had successively obtained the five chakra natures of wind, lightning, earth, water, and fire. Relying on the solar eclipse and his own secret technique, he had temporarily possessed Yang nature chakra. Now he was only lacking Yin nature chakra.
Kakashi tapped his forehead and used a more powerful sealing jutsu to seal Hiruko's control seal. Speaking of which, this was knowledge he had gained from Sakura's notes.
Sakura thought she could get a free ride from Kakashi, but she didn't know that she was the one being taken for a ride...
Kakashi was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he adopted a hit-and-run tactic, constantly stalling for time.
His combat experience was extremely rich. He could see that Hiruko's move could not be maintained for a long time. What else was there to say? Stall for time!
Kakashi had not come alone. The twenty ANBU ninja under his command appeared one by one.
Among them was Yūgao Uzuki, who had put on her mask again to fight.
Hayate had spent too much money at Arasaka, and their savings had bottomed out. Yūgao had no choice but to return to the ANBU. The salary here was high, and Kakashi was very considerate of his subordinates, occasionally rewarding them with a ninjutsu or something in his own name.
The twenty ANBU might not know any advanced ninjutsu, but their eyesight was top-notch. They threw some earth and water style ninjutsu from a distance, or used explosive tags, sealing tags, and other ninja tools to harass him.
"Ah—damn Konoha ninja!" Hiruko felt his head was about to split. Lacking Yin nature chakra to maintain balance, the other six chakra natures were running rampant in his body, and he couldn't effectively restrain them. The Chimera Technique was on the verge of collapse.
Kakashi gave a hand signal. Four ANBU ninja stood at four corners and set up the Four Violet Flames Formation.
Two ANBU ninja followed them into the formation. They took out the sealing cloth that Konoha had bought from Miss Maki of the Sand and prepared to seal Hiruko.
"Get lost! Seal me? Fools, I have already obtained immortality!" Hiruko's body split open from the shoulder. Most of his internal organs had been replaced by a viscous black liquid.
The two sealing ninja were very careful, constantly dodging the splashing black water.
"Go away, go away! It hurts so much, it really hurts so much, why does it hurt so much!" Hiruko realized that his body was about to reach its limit. He no longer hesitated.
The benefit of allying with Obito was that he had obtained two three-tomoe Sharingan.
Whose eyes were they? He didn't know, and he didn't care.
He wanted to obtain Kakashi's body because he wanted the Mangekyo Sharingan, but now he had no choice. He would have to make do with the three-tomoe.
He took out a glass container and swallowed the two Sharingan raw.
The Chimera Technique replaced his stomach. After devouring the two Sharingan, the chakra in his body briefly reached a balance. He had finally obtained the immortal body he had dreamed of, which could improve a ninja's aptitude.
At least, he believed this was an immortal body.
Pain! Besides the physical pain, there was also a mental tearing. He seemed to see Pakura being ambushed by the Hidden Mist ninja and then dying tragically in a foreign land. Every kunai, every senbon seemed to be piercing his body at this moment.
He also experienced the deaths of the Magnet Release ninja Toroi, the Explosion Release ninja Gari, and the sensory ninja Chūkichi all at once.
His own consciousness was impacted by a huge amount of memories. Pakura's hatred, Toroi's anger, Gari's rage, Chūkichi's helplessness, and the despair and wails of the owners of the two Sharingan at the time of their deaths all converged in his heart.
Lowering the standard again and again, Hiruko's Chimera Technique was a super-shrunken trial version of the Kekkei Mōra.
But no matter what, the jutsu was completed.
The Chimera Technique began to spew black water in all directions like a fountain.
A large flame ignited on the walls of the Four Violet Flames Formation.
Hiruko briefly regained his clarity. "The Four Violet Flames Formation? Hahahaha, what a childish thing! Kakashi, you underestimate me too much!"
His hands glowed with a black light. That was the Explosion Release formed by the fusion of earth and lightning natures.
He punched the barrier wall of the Four Violet Flames Formation.
"Dispel the formation!" With Kakashi's command, the four ANBU quickly withdrew their hands, but they were still a step too slow.
The huge explosion hit the Four Violet Flames Formation. The four ANBU all coughed up blood and retreated. The two ninja using the sealing cloth were even more seriously injured.
"Damn it, he still completed that jutsu?"
Kakashi quickly signaled his subordinates to temporarily retreat. The advantage is on our side. There's no need to go all out now. Let's see how the situation develops.
