"Tajū Jōki Bōi no Jutsu!"
Dozens of Jōki Bōi clones instantly surrounded the Second Tsuchikage, Second Mizukage, and Fourth Kazekage.
"You're some kind of monster, aren't you? Definitely a freak—there's no way you're human!"
The Second Mizukage couldn't help but let out a string of shocked exclamations.
Then, those dozens of Jōki Bōi clones exploded, blasting the three Kage into nothingness once again.
And this was Kazama holding back, worried about collateral damage to everyone else on the battlefield.
If he wanted, Kazama could've summoned thousands of Jōki Bōi clones in one go.
"This kid's an absolute prodigy! Not only does he know the Second Mizukage's secret technique, but he's using it with even more power than the original!"
Nearby, the Third Raikage was so stunned by Kazama's display that he collapsed to the ground, too shocked to even sit up.
"You two might have impressive techniques, but copying them isn't that hard—especially for someone with the Mangekyō Sharingan," the Fourth Kazekage, freshly revived, boasted to the Second Tsuchikage and Mizukage with a laugh. "But my technique? No way he can copy that!"
Because Jiton: Sakin was a secret technique passed down through generations of Kazekage, ridiculously difficult to master.
The Fourth Kazekage was convinced that no matter how talented Kazama was, he couldn't replicate it.
"Jiton: Kyōtō Gairan no Jutsu!"
But before the Fourth Kazekage could finish bragging, Kazama unleashed a Jiton technique even stronger than the Sakin Tōrō.
If the Fourth Kazekage's Jiton was like a splash of waves, Kazama's was a full-on tsunami.
"Haha! So, Fourth Kazekage, how's it feel to get slapped in the face at light speed?"
As they were overwhelmed by Kazama's tsunami of gold dust, the Second Tsuchikage and Second Mizukage couldn't help but mock the Fourth Kazekage.
"Damn it, this Kazama punk's got some serious skills!"
Yakushi Kabuto, watching his carefully summoned Edo Tensei Kage get completely dominated by Kazama, was livid. Through the Edo Tensei link, he started hurling insults at Kazama.
"You filthy little punk, I swear I'll tear you to pieces and scatter your ashes!"
"Yakushi Kabuto, you're as slimy and vicious as ever, cursing me through Edo Tensei," Kazama shot back.
He'd originally planned to deal with Kabuto last, but after hearing the guy's nonstop verbal attacks, Kazama decided it was time to track down his hiding spot and take him out for good.
"Punk, I'll curse you all I want! What, you got a problem with that? Fine, today I'll make you eat your words!"
"Kazama-kun!"
Suddenly, Kazama heard Sakura's voice calling out through one of the Edo Tensei ninja.
His heart skipped a beat, a bad feeling creeping in.
"No way… Did Kabuto actually kidnap Sakura? That shouldn't be possible!"
As Kazama was puzzling over this, Yakushi Kabuto's voice came through the Edo Tensei again, laughing maniacally.
"How's that, punk? Hear your little girlfriend calling? I'm gonna make Sakura wish she was dead—let's see if you still dare to mess with me!"
"Kabuto, don't try that nonsense with me. You think mimicking Sakura's voice will fool me? Even ninja academy kids can pull off voice-changing tricks. Keep dreaming!"
Kazama said this confidently, but inside, he was on edge.
He wasn't sure if Kabuto had actually captured Sakura or not.
For now, all he could do was bluff to test Kabuto's reaction.
But before Kabuto could respond, Obito suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Bad news, Kazama-sama! Word just came from Konoha—Haruno Sakura's been taken hostage by the enemy!"
