Kitsuchi and Han also realized the sturdiness of this Sealing Technique; though not complex, its resilience was extraordinary, making it impossible for the two of them and one Tailed Beast to break through in a short time.
"Kitsuchi, stop," Han said, somewhat blaming himself. "We've all fallen into this cunning brat's trap." If he hadn't agreed to Son Goku's actions, they might have had room to maneuver.
"Since Uchiha Ling isn't going to let us go, today I'm going to see if you're as powerful as the intelligence reports describe!"
Kitsuchi had a fierce aura about him, seemingly intending to fight with his life. While Kitsuchi's strength was decent, that was during the Fourth Great Ninja War; now, at twenty years old, his strength barely reached the quasi-Kage level.
"Alright then, so you want to dance too?"
Second Body crossed her arms over her chest, her aura pressing out without reservation, directly forming visible air distortions, even causing the surrounding treetops to sway uncontrollably.
Kitsuchi, directly bearing Uchiha Ling's aura, felt that she was not a young girl, but a rampaging Tailed Beast ready to devour people, or like a divine sword capable of cleaving mountains.
With his strength, facing a strong Kage-level oppression alone was almost equivalent to a Chunin enduring the killing intent of an Elite Jonin. Every cell in Kitsuchi's body told him not to act; he would surely lose terribly.
"Ah! The will of stone shall not be desecrated!" Kitsuchi erupted with all his Chakra, not caring about the Chakra consumption, just to break free from the feeling of powerlessness caused by this oppressive aura.
"Heh, 'will of stone'? Konoha has the fire will, and your Ōnoki wants to copy it with a 'will of stone'? Is it the kind that's stinky and hard like a stone in an outhouse?"
"You shall not desecrate my Village! My will! My Ninjutsu! Brat! Die! Earth Release: Rock Fist Technique!"
Kitsuchi used the Body Flicker Technique to instantly appear before Uchiha Ling, moving much faster than a Jonin, and his right fist transformed into a rock, growing a size larger.
This punch was powerful and unstoppable; even a Tailed Beast transformed Jinchuriki could be sent flying with one punch. Unfortunately, he encountered Uchiha Ling, a cheat.
"Super Strength Fist: Black Flash!" Second Body didn't charge up; she merely used Chakra to unleash Super Strength Fist, then used Curse Power to activate Black Flash, increasing the punch's power by 2.5 times.
A black lightning bolt suddenly shot out, a small fist striking the giant rock fist. Logically, the small fist should have been crushed, but the result was the exact opposite.
"Bang... crack!"
The instant the two collided, a massive shockwave directly snapped the surrounding trees. Han was also sent flying by the shockwave, while Second Body remained standing on the fragile treetops, unshaken.
A moment later, Kitsuchi's Rock Fist suddenly developed cracks, which rapidly expanded and spread across the entire Rock Fist. With a cracking sound, it turned into dust and vanished.
Kitsuchi's expression in that instant was one of shock. The moment their fists met, he felt an unmovable immense force coming from the little girl opposite him.
At the last moment, Second Body's punch force was irresistible. Kitsuchi wanted to use the force to fly back, but he underestimated the damage of Uchiha Ling's punch.
The instant his consciousness shifted, a vast force directly broke the finger bones of his middle and ring fingers, followed by his palm bones, and finally his arm bones.
All the bones from his fist to his forearm were completely shattered, and his entire fist exploded like fireworks, scattering blood, flesh, and bone fragments.
Crimson shredded flesh, pale white tiny bone fragments, splattered blood, and a pungent, nauseating smell of blood were all blasted onto Kitsuchi by the force of the punch.
As Kitsuchi was sent flying through the air, his nerves finally transmitted the pain of his shattered fist to his brain, leaving only a series of screams in the air.
Second Body looked at the warm, fine bloodstains on her arm and the strong metallic scent lingering in the air, helplessly fanning her nose. It was too brutal, too bloody.
Second Body's single punch shattered Kitsuchi's Rock Fist Technique and his Chakra-protected fist. This was the effect of Second Body's first attempt at combining Super Strength Fist and Black Flash.
Kitsuchi crashed through many tree branches, flying back hundreds of meters. A series of impacts and the force from Uchiha Ling's punch, which was still coursing wildly inside his body, caused him to spit out a mouthful of congested blood.
There were also some dark red fragments of internal organs. Kitsuchi stopped after crashing into a large rock, creating a human-shaped indentation, and then spat out another mouthful of fresh blood.
If not for his Chakra protecting his body, he would have been 100% dead by now, but he was still severely wounded. Although the internal force had subsided, his internal organs were damaged to varying degrees, and most of his Chakra was depleted.
Without a Medical Ninja, he wouldn't even be able to return to Iwagakure alive, but he still relied on his willpower to focus his scattered gaze.
"Earth Release: Mountain Earth Technique!"
All his Chakra merged into the underground rocks. Kitsuchi, regardless of Chakra depletion, intended to use his strongest Ninjutsu to bury Uchiha Ling here and have her accompany him in death.
Second Body looked at the two rock hills, over two hundred meters high, rising with dust on either side of her, and naturally understood what Kitsuchi intended to do.
"Mountain Earth Technique. I didn't expect to experience the same treatment as the Ten-Tails' husk!"
This Mountain Earth Technique was indeed very powerful, capable of suppressing even the Ten-Tails' husk for a while, but unfortunately, he encountered Uchiha Ling, who had mastered various techniques.
"Hah~ Ah!"
Seeing Uchiha Ling neither dodge nor evade, a hint of excitement flashed in Kitsuchi's bloodshot eyes. He used his remaining Chakra to control the small mountains to merge.
The two small mountains suddenly rotated, quickly forming a narrow gap in the middle, and this gap rapidly closed. In the last moment before his consciousness plunged into darkness, Kitsuchi, spitting blood, looked with joy at the tightly sealed two small mountains, and finally fainted.
Unfortunately, Kitsuchi didn't see that Second Body had already used the Flying Thunder God Technique to arrive on the back of Nue, who was flying in the sky. Pakura had a Flying Thunder God Mark, so Second Body naturally wouldn't stay there to seek death; the one on the ground was merely an illusory clone.
Pakura was no longer surprised by Uchiha Ling's strength. Even almost all the Kage-level Ninja of her Sunagakure had been defeated, so why would Kitsuchi be able to win?
"Ms. Pakura, you capture Han and those three disabled Iwagakure Jonin. I'll go see if Kitsuchi can still be saved."
Second Body used Wind Release to jump down directly, her figure light as a feather, and she was carried by the wind towards Kitsuchi's location.
While Wind Release wasn't yet suitable for true flight, it could be used for gliding and controlled descent. Upon closer inspection, one could notice an updraft around Second Body and illusory wind wings on her back adjusting her direction.
Looking at the extremely miserable Kitsuchi, covered in blood and barely clinging to life, Second Body was also somewhat speechless. He insisted on trying to achieve mutual destruction like the Second Tsuchikage, but unfortunately, she wasn't Hōzuki Gengetsu.
Fearing that Kitsuchi's faint breathing might lead to suffocation due to the blood in his mouth, Second Body reluctantly used Yang Release Medical Ninjutsu to heal Kitsuchi.
She stopped the internal bleeding, then controlled the recovery of his internal organs, used the Delicate Illness Extraction Technique to draw out the waste blood, and finally treated his right hand, which was left with only a stump of a forearm.
