"There are actually two of these scythes!" Kaoru's heart was startled. This Cicada Wing Scythe came very suddenly and quickly, and the target was still Rondo, who was beside Kaoru!
"Crap!" Kaoru seemed to be powerless to reverse the decline. He forcibly pulled Rondo's body, wanting to let Rondo dodge this killing move, but the scythe had already approached Rondo's side in the blink of an eye.
"Pfft!" A crisp cutting sound rang out. Rondo's left arm had been instantly severed. He groaned, his body flying out several meters, and then landing on the ground. The front part of his left arm was still grasped in Kaoru's hand.
"He only lost an arm, but it doesn't matter. Rondo has fallen to the ground. He's dead for sure!" From below the ground, the Demon-Faced Rakshasa's voice rang out. He was rapidly traversing through the soil, and in an instant, he had arrived at the ground below Rondo.
"Earth Style, Strangulation Vortex!" The Rondo below the ground formed hand seals with both hands, and then slapped the soil above. Instantly, the technique that had killed the two Leaf Village Chūnin appeared again. The soil below Rondo began to rotate and directly swallowed half of Rondo's body. Rondo's face was wooden, completely lacking the fearful expression from before.
"Hmm, truly impressive..." Kaoru, who had already landed on the tree trunk, had a smile on his lips. He mocked in a low voice.
"Something's not right!" The Demon-Faced Rakshasa, who was using Earth Style, had a jolt in his heart. Kaoru was quite calm, and even this Rondo wasn't screaming like before.
"It's still that move from before..." Kaoru said slowly, whispering like a demon.
"That move from before..." The Demon-Faced Rakshasa suddenly reacted. "It's Clone Great Explosion!"
"Rumble!"
Rondo's body suddenly exploded violently. Even the Demon-Faced Rakshasa, who was beneath the ground, was affected by the shockwave!
"Cough cough cough!" He spat out a large amount of blood, and his body was pressed deeper into the ground by the shockwave!
"Damn it, is this Rondo a shadow clone that has been given the Transformation Technique? What the hell, when did this happen......" The Demon-Faced Rakshasa's internal organs were all injured. The shockwave from the explosion stiffened his body beneath the ground. For a time, he was unable to move at all!
"Die!" Kaoru seized the opportunity and leaped down. He conjured the Storm Sword in his left hand, and then thrust the sword deeply into the ground at the point of the explosion!
"Clang!" A metallic collision sound rang out from beneath the ground. Kaoru felt that the Storm Sword seemed to have pierced a hard object. It was the Demon-Faced Rakshasa who had barely retracted his Cicada Wing Scythe to defend!
"Is it that scythe......" Kaoru had already guessed what was blocking his Storm Sword, but there wasn't a trace of worry on his face.
"It's a pity. You sharpened that scythe so thin for the purpose of assassination, but now you want to use it to block my sword? Wishful thinking!" Kaoru raised his eyebrows, and with a sudden force, the thin blade of the Cicada Wing Scythe shattered instantly!
Immediately following this was a painful scream. The Demon-Faced Rakshasa beneath the ground was instantly pierced through the abdomen by the Storm Sword!
"Damn it..." Kaoru's sword directly skewered the Demon-Faced Rakshasa's entire body onto the Storm Sword like a bamboo skewer on a barbecue. The Demon-Faced Rakshasa would feel a burst of pain in his abdomen as soon as he moved.
"If this continues, even if he doesn't continue to attack, I'll die from blood loss..." The Demon-Faced Rakshasa thought hatefully in his heart. He had to escape from here immediately and then find a place to heal his injuries.
"Earth Style, Earth Travel Technique....." The Demon-Faced Rakshasa endured the pain and formed hand seals with both hands, preparing to use Earth Style to escape.
He formed hand seals, but there was no flow of chakra in his body!
"Don't even think about it." Kaoru's voice came from the ground. "I knew that you would definitely use ninjutsu to escape after I stabbed you, so I applied a "Sealing Technique Seal" on this great sword. You can no longer use ninjutsu."
The Sealing Technique Seal was a sealing technique that could temporarily seal the opponent's ninjutsu, but it had to touch the opponent's blood to be effective. And now that Kaoru had directly pierced the Demon-Faced Rakshasa's abdomen, using this move was simply too easy.
"You had planned this all along......" The Demon-Faced Rakshasa, who was beneath the ground, murmured despairingly.
"When I took Rondo to the tree trunk of another big tree, we passed by a patch of shade, do you remember?" Kaoru firmly nailed the Storm Sword into the ground, and then straightened his body again, speaking calmly.
"You mean.....that time?" The Demon-Faced Rakshasa let out a miserable cry, a look of doubt in his voice.
"That's right, it was at that time that I hid Rondo in that patch of shade. To avoid him shouting, I also specifically knocked him unconscious, and then used the Shadow Clone Technique and the Transformation Technique in succession......"
Kaoru chuckled. "You're hiding under the soil. Although I don't know what method you used to allow you to hide under the ground and still know the situation above, your vision is probably limited. You completely didn't notice the switcheroo......"
"You're really a cunning brat!" The Demon-Faced Rakshasa cursed in a low voice.
"Thump!" Just as the Demon-Faced Rakshasa finished speaking, the Rondo, who had been hidden by him in the shade of the tree, seemed to have fallen from the tree because he wasn't placed securely.
"Ouch....." This fall woke Rondo up. He rubbed his numb butt and slowly got up from the ground.
"Ah, ah! I fell to the ground! Help!" Rondo suddenly jumped up. He shouted loudly and quickly climbed up a tree next to him.
But his tree-climbing skills were really not that good. He only climbed up two meters before immediately falling down again.
"Help, help!" Rondo simply hugged the thick tree trunk tightly with all four limbs and shouted.
"Shut up....." Kaoru shook his head and said, "That Demon-Faced Rakshasa has already been subdued by me."
"Subdued by you?" Rondo looked at Kaoru with a questioning gaze.
"That's right, he's right below the ground where my sword is stuck. He can't escape," Kaoru said.
"Then, then kill him quickly!" Rondo shouted anxiously.
"I can't kill him now. I have to dig him out first." Kaoru said indifferently, shaking his head with a headache: "This guy's secret technique can be said to be quite troublesome....."
Saying this, Kaoru looked up at Yūhi Kurenai, who wasn't far away.
And the battle on the stream on the other side could also be said to be relatively smooth. Yūhi Kurenai had already relied on her genjutsu to kill one of the Chūnin. Only three were still continuing to fight with Yūhi Kurenai.
"This Demon-Faced Rakshasa is temporarily unable to move. I should go help Teacher Kurenai first." Kaoru thought this way, and with a movement of his body, he ran towards the stream.
"Hey, why did you run away, brat? You should kill the Demon-Faced Rakshasa first!" Behind Kaoru, Rondo's urgent voice came.
And in the stream, with Kaoru's help, the situation in the field instantly presented an overwhelming trend. Under the joint efforts of Yūhi Kurenai and Kaoru, the other three Chūnin all turned into cold corpses in just a few rounds.
This assassination farce seemed to be coming to an end.
"Thank you, Kaoru!" Yūhi Kurenai stepped back onto the ground from the water and smiled at Kaoru.
"It's not....." Kaoru smiled slightly, just about to answer.
But at this time, another change occurred!
"More people are coming!" A trace of gravity flashed in Kaoru's eyes. From the Hawk Spirit in the sky, he could know that at this time, in his northeast direction, three ninjas were rushing over!
