After that, the Kaguya clan members engaged in a second battle."
"Lady Terumi, please look. These dozen or so Kaguya clan members still have extremely strong Lightning Release chakra residue on them."
"If I'm not mistaken, they were instantly defeated by a large-scale Lightning Release attack ninjutsu and lost their combat power."
"Then, the Kaguya clan leader used "Dance of the Seedling Fern". These Kaguya clan members didn't have time to dodge, and half of them died from that technique."
"The other half died directly from the Lightning Release attack. They were already dead when they were impaled by the bone spurs."
Before long, another Anbu ninja ran up to Mei Terumi to report.
Mei Terumi's expression was extremely solemn. In fact, she had already analyzed these things herself and didn't need others to tell her.
"What kind of person could defeat a dozen Kaguya clan members in an instant?" Mei Terumi's brow furrowed like a chrysanthemum blooming in late autumn.
Thinking about the Lightning Release chakra, the only person Mei Terumi could think of was Raiga Kurosuki, the wielder of the Lightning blades from the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
But Raiga Kurosuki had died in Konoha a year ago.
Even the lightning blades had been lost in Konoha!
Moreover, Raiga Kurosuki couldn't possibly be a match for the Kaguya clan leader!
Who was this mysterious expert who had intervened?
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
While Mei Terumi was conducting a field investigation with the Anbu ninjas, Kouki was already traveling through Kirigakure with the Kaguya clan leader.
Heading towards the Kaguya clan compound.
Kouki's guess was correct. The Kaguya clan leader did have a way to contact other members of the clan. He had contacted Kimimaro and asked him to return to the Kaguya clan compound to meet him.
"Kimimaro will be back soon,"
The Kaguya clan leader said to Kouki inside the compound, a glint of bloodlust flashing in his eyes.
"Kimimaro is our clan's most perfect Shikotsumyaku Kekkei Genkai user. Kill him! Or… be killed by him… Crack!"
The Kaguya clan leader's words were cut short as Kouki used long-range Kamui to sever his head.
Now that he had found Kimimaro, he naturally wouldn't keep this lunatic around.
After waiting for a while inside the Kaguya clan compound, a child with white hair and two small red dots on his forehead appeared in the courtyard.
It was undoubtedly Kimimaro.
Kimimaro looked at Kouki and then at the Kaguya clan leader's corpse lying next to Kouki. He tightly gripped a bone blade in his hand and charged towards Kouki.
"Wait!"
Kouki suddenly called out to Kimimaro.
Kimimaro stopped in his tracks, looking at Kouki with wide eyes.
"Why do you want to kill me?" Kouki asked, staring at Kimimaro softly.
"The clan leader said… I must kill all Kirigakure ninjas I see," Kimimaro answered subconsciously.
"Do you want to do that?" Kouki continued to ask calmly.
Kimimaro was taken aback by Kouki's question. "I… I don't know."
Ever since he had memories, Kimimaro had been locked in a cell within the Kaguya clan compound.
Every day, a hand would reach in from the outside to give him food. This was Kimimaro's only interaction with the outside world.
Kimimaro had never known why he was living in this world. He didn't know the meaning of his existence.
Although he was a member of the Kaguya clan, Kimimaro hadn't met any other Kaguya clan members until the Kaguya clan rebelled.
Whether it was clan members or Kirigakure ninjas, they were all equally unfamiliar to Kimimaro.
The reason he followed the clan leader's orders to fight the Kirigakure ninjas wasn't because it was an order from the clan leader, but because he didn't know what else to do. Kimimaro didn't know the meaning of his existence.
"The reason you're attacking the Kirigakure people is because you don't know what else to do, right?"
"You don't know why you're alive. You don't know what you're supposed to do with your life, right?"
Kouki asked a soul-searching question.
Then, Kouki saw Kimimaro's pupils constrict. The bone blade he had been gripping tightly fell to the ground.
It was clear that Kouki had hit the nail on the head.
"Kimimaro, do you think there's any meaning to life?" Kouki continued to ask in a profound tone.
Kimimaro paused again.
He didn't know how to answer.
Because Kimimaro simply didn't know what the meaning of his existence in this world was.
"There is no meaning to being alive," Kouki said shamelessly, quoting Orochimaru's words to Kimimaro.
"But by living, you might find something interesting, like… I found you!"
"Kimimaro, are you willing to leave this place with me?"
Kimimaro nodded.
For the first time in his life, he knew why he was alive and what the meaning of his existence was.
"Kimimaro, I still have some things to do in Kirigakure, and it's inconvenient to bring you with me for now. I have a pocket dimension with me. Why don't you stay there for a while?"
Kouki said to Kimimaro.
The Kaguya clan was now a rebel clan in Kirigakure. If Kirigakure discovered Kimimaro, they would definitely try to capture him. Although Kouki wasn't afraid of Kirigakure's forces, there was no need to confront them head-on.
Kouki hadn't come to Kirigakure to cause a ruckus.
Kimimaro nodded to Kouki again.
Kouki placed his hand on Kimimaro and used his Kamui dōjutsu, taking Kimimaro into the Kamui Dimension.
After completing all of this, Kouki instantly entered Sage Mode, enveloping the entire Kirigakure with his senses and began to search for one person's chakra:
Orochimaru.
