Kouki noticed that two bone spurs protruded from the person's wrist.
Kouki didn't dodge, allowing the person's "bone spur fist" to pass through his body.
"What?!"
The person was stunned, tricked by Kouki's intangibility.
Before he could react, Kouki flipped his hand and slashed his throat with a kunai. The person collapsed to the ground with a thud.
He was dead as a doornail.
"This assassination was quite inexplicable," Kouki muttered to himself. He glanced at the corpse's clothing and, combined with the bone spurs, suddenly realized who the person was.
"A member of the Kaguya clan… or rather, the Kimimaro clan… a race of madmen," Kouki thought to himself.
Kouki didn't have many impressions of this clan, except for Kimimaro and the fact that the Kaguya clan had rebelled against Kirigakure and been wiped out, leaving only Kimimaro…
"Wait, is the Kaguya clan rebelling right now?" Kouki thought in disbelief.
Then, his eyes lit up. If that was the case, maybe he could recruit Kimimaro!
Kimimaro was fiercely loyal to Orochimaru, even sacrificing his life for him. He also possessed the extremely rare Shikotsumyaku Kekkei Genkai, making him a powerful ninja.
He would be the perfect subordinate.
With the idea of recruiting Kimimaro, Kouki couldn't suppress his desire. With his power, it would be easy to do.
The only thing he needed to worry about was that Kimimaro had an incurable disease, which even Orochimaru, one of the top scientists in the Naruto world, couldn't cure.
But that wouldn't be a problem for Kouki.
To be more precise, it wouldn't be a problem if Kouki's plan was ultimately successful.
Once he reached Six Paths level and possessed the power of Yin-Yang Release, curing Kimimaro would be a piece of cake.
Having made up his mind, Kouki didn't waste any time. He used Body Flicker Technique and sped towards the front.
Based on the Kaguya clan member who had attacked him, the battlefield was likely ahead.
Sure enough, soon, the faint sounds of battle reached Kouki's ears. Two groups of people were engaged in a fierce battle.
It was the Kirigakure ninjas and the Kaguya clan.
The Kaguya clan's combat power was quite formidable. The clan members were all like madmen, fighting without regard for their lives. They were incredibly fierce.
Combined with the Kaguya clan's Kekkei Genkai, Shikotsumyaku, they were even more formidable.
While not every Kaguya clan member could reach Kimimaro's level, having a Kekkei Genkai greatly increased their combat power.
Even if it wasn't a perfect Kekkei Genkai.
The brutal battle was a one-sided massacre.
Thwack!
Aaaah!
Amidst the sounds of blood splattering, there were groans and screams as Kirigakure ninjas fell one after another.
"Hold on! Asada has gone to report! Lady Mei Terumi is coming!"
"Once Lady Mei Terumi arrives, these traitors are doomed!"
From time to time, someone have shouted these words, seemingly to encourage their comrades and to bolster their own spirits.
However, the outcome was inevitable. All the Kirigakure ninjas were slaughtered by the Kaguya clan.
There were still more than a dozen Kaguya clan members left at the scene, almost all of them covered in blood.
Combined with the crazed and bloodthirsty expressions on their faces, they looked like deranged killers from a movie, enough to scare children.
"Mei Terumi? Comrades, killing ordinary ninjas is boring. We should kill someone like Mei Terumi! Someone like Yagura Karatachi!"
One Kaguya clan member licked the blood from his lips, his eyes gleaming.
"That's right, kill the Mizukage! Kill Mei Terumi!"
"Chief, enough talk! I can't wait any longer!"
The other Kaguya clan members responded wildly, all of them looking impatient.
This scene left Kouki speechless.
Didn't these Kaguya clan members ever consider their own fate?
With their incredible combat power, if they wanted to escape Kirigakure, Kirigakure's current forces couldn't stop them.
But these people clearly hadn't considered that. They simply wanted to kill as many people as possible.
Whoosh!
Just as the Kaguya clan members were in high spirits, a Kirigakure ninja calmly jumped down from the wall.
The scene became quiet. All the Kaguya clan members turned to look at the Kirigakure ninja.
He dared to show himself alone?
Was this guy crazy?
"Do any of you know how to find Kimimaro?"
The ninja calmly spoke, as if he didn't care about these people at all.
According to Kouki's memory, Kimimaro hadn't acted with the Kaguya clan during the rebellion. He had acted alone.
The Kaguya clan leader had ordered him to "act according to his own will and kill any Kirigakure ninjas he encountered."
Kimimaro could be anywhere in Kirigakure right now.
It wouldn't be easy for Kouki to find him.
Some of the great clans in Naruto often had internal communication methods, which would be more reliable than Kouki wandering around aimlessly.
