Crackle, crackle, crackle—
Accompanied by the piercing sound of electricity, the wall was instantly broken by Takemi himself, and the surging current shot straight towards Kimimaro's chest.
"Be careful!"
Just as the purple electricity was about to hit Kimimaro, Jugo suddenly stepped forward, ignoring the burns on his body, and desperately blocked the attack.
The meat shield on his arm was pierced, and the next moment, he was kicked flying, retreating backward along with Kimimaro.
"Don't get distracted, Kimimaro, that Purple Lightning is not simple." After they stabilized themselves, Jugo said in a low, slightly breathless voice.
"Jugo."
Kimimaro looked at Jugo beside him, and he couldn't help but purse his lips. He had always been a very polite person, unless the matter involved Orochimaru.
But now, this guy had used such a despicable method, nearly making him shatter Orochimaru-sama's statue...
No!
It had already been shattered, and it was actively shattered by this guy.
"I understand, Jugo."
Although Kimimaro's eyes were still filled with anger, he had calmed down considerably, but the Curse Seal was spreading on his body.
"Let's take care of this guy together!"
"Be careful, Kimimaro, your body..."
Seeing this, Jugo couldn't help but remind him, but Kimimaro shook his head, bone spurs had already appeared on his chest.
"Now is not the time to discuss this, what we need to do now is make up for our mistakes."
"Are you done talking?"
Just as they were talking in low voices, Takemi suddenly spoke up, interrupting them.
"It seems you respect Orochimaru very much. You didn't even attack in that situation?"
"..."
Kimimaro didn't want to talk anymore, and Jugo seemed to know that Takemi was deliberately provoking them.
He glared at Takemi and then said in a low voice, "I'll go first, you follow me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jugo had already rushed ahead, and Kimimaro quickly followed, understanding the unspoken agreement.
Jugo's physique was special, and his injuries could constantly recover, so he was naturally more suitable to go first.
"Coming?"
Takemi raised his eyebrows, and the next moment, the Purple Electricity in his hand became even more dazzling. In an instant, he also rushed ahead.
"So fast..."
Jugo only felt a flash before his eyes. Then, Takemi had already rushed in front of him.
Looking at the purple lightning, he didn't have time to think too much and punched out.
Boom—
In an instant, a low muffled sound and visible airwaves spread out together.
The next moment, cracks appeared on the ground beneath their feet and instantly expanded several meters outwards.
However, Jugo's expression was grim. His fist was actually blocked by the curtain of light formed by Takemi's Purple Electricity, and the surging current even paralyzed his body.
'That Purple Lightning doesn't only have an extremely powerful penetrative force, but can also defend?'
Kimimaro, who was following behind Jugo, quickly analyzed in his heart when he saw this, and he also seized the opportunity to act.
Dance of the Camellia!
Kimimaro's figure seemed to turn into an illusion, swaying gently, but the bone sword in his hand had already accurately thrust towards Takemi.
"Quite fast."
Takemi turned his head slightly, and looking at Kimimaro's movements, the Purple Electricity in his hand swayed slightly.
In a flash of flowing light, his Purple Electricity instantly and precisely sliced across Kimimaro's bone sword.
Crack—
Under Kimimaro's stunned gaze, he saw a cut appear on the bone sword.
"This..."
His bones were extremely hard, and normally he would basically never encounter a similar situation, but today Takemi had shattered his idea.
"That Purple Lightning... actually has unimaginable sharpness?"
Three almost completely different characteristics actually appeared in the same ninjutsu.
Even though Kimimaro specialized in Taijutsu, he knew how incredible this was.
"Hmph!"
Jugo seemed to have recovered a little at this moment. He reinforced his right arm without hesitation and smashed it towards Takemi.
Kimimaro no longer thought too much and instantly drew another bone sword from his body. He moved together with Jugo.
Dance of the Larch!
Facing the pincer attack from the two, Takemi was still very calm. He twisted his body lightly, and while avoiding Jugo's fist, he swept out with a kick.
Bang—
With another low muffled sound, Jugo was kicked flying fiercely, even breaking a large tree nearby.
At the same time, he lifted his hand with the Purple Electricity forward, and the Purple Electricity instantly turned into a curtain of light, firmly blocking Kimimaro's attack.
However, Jugo rushed over again at this moment, and for a while, the three of them were fighting in a chaotic mess.
Boom... Boom... Boom—
Their three-person clash instantly flashed with several afterimages. The surrounding trees, grass, and stones either collapsed or were shattered under their confrontation.
Kimimaro's Taijutsu was relatively agile, while Jugo was straightforward. The two of them could be considered complementary, and their cooperation was very tacit.
However...
They were stunned to find that they were actually being suppressed by Takemi alone.
Takemi was fast, unbelievably so and his moves were so sharp that it was simply dazzling.
Especially the Purple Electricity in his hand, which was both offensive and defensive, pressuring them to the point where they couldn't find their way for a while.
"He looks about the same age as us, so how can the gap be so big?"
The two of them couldn't figure it out, especially Kimimaro, who was even more uncomfortable.
During the Kaguya clan's rebellion, he was sealed from a young age because his Shikotsumyaku was too strong, causing his clansmen to be afraid. Without any training, he could still rely on instinct to deal with Kirigakure.
And after following Orochimaru and receiving sufficient training, his Taijutsu improved by leaps and bounds, and he could better utilize his kekkei genkai.
But facing Takemi, and fighting like this in a two-on-one situation, filled him with guilt. He felt that he was letting Orochimaru down...
The two of them had complex emotions, but Takemi appeared very calm, because he knew this was normal.
Kimimaro's Curse Seal doesn't seem to have been developed to the second stage yet, otherwise he would have activated it long ago, and Jugo won't casually release his killing impulse, otherwise he will completely lose control.
Besides that, they haven't grown to the level they will be in the future, but Takemi has been growing rapidly during this time.
'If I couldn't even suppress them, then I would really be letting down all the effort and sweat I've put in along the way...'
Takemi knew exactly where his problems were. His combat experience and the use of various techniques were still far from enough. But that didn't mean he was weak.
He might be in a very awkward position when facing those true powerhouses, but he could still strike hard when facing people like Kimimaro amd Jugo.
Boom—
During the continuous entanglement, a violent Chakra reaction suddenly came from a distance.
The next moment, a colossal figure like a small mountain suddenly appeared, and the immense power made the ground tremble.
"That is..."
This scene immediately distracted the three of them, but Takemi reacted extremely quickly.
Buzz—
Accompanied by a piercing explosion, he punched Jugo in the chest with a force so great that Jugo instantly flew backward.
Along with the splashing gravel and the sky full of dust, he slammed heavily into a huge rock.
"Jugo!"
Kimimaro was a little worried, but Takemi had already arrived in front of him like a ghost.
Crackle, crackle, crackle—
The purple lightning hissed, and the next moment, it turned into a hand blade, slashing fiercely across Kimimaro's chest.
Pfft—
Amidst the sound of flesh being cut, Takemi sliced open his chest.
"Hmm?"
Takemi raised his eyebrows.
He didn't see any blood splashing, and the feeling in his hand just now was also different, but he quickly knew what was going on.
"Using a bone membrane as a defense in front of your chest, I have to say your kekkei genkai is really good."
Kimimaro quickly flashed backward. He didn't answer Takemi but stared intently at him.
His chest had been completely cut open, and as Takemi said, there was a white bone membrane protecting him underneath.
"It's a pity that's all there is to it. It seems Orochimaru hasn't trained you enough, so it's time to end this."
Takemi didn't care about Kimimaro's state. The Purple Electricity in his hand shone again, and he planned to cut off a complete piece of Kimimaro's flesh, and also take a bone.
He didn't know what the mission reward was, but he knew what it meant to be prepared.
But just as he was about to make his move, Kimimaro suddenly raised his head. His face was incredibly pale at this moment, and blood was even overflowing from the corner of his mouth.
"You are not allowed to talk about Orochimaru-sama like that. It's me who is not good enough. For Orochimaru-sama's reputation..."
"I will complete my final dance even if I risk my life!"
Dance of the Willow!
