Or rather, was he a ninja cultivated by Konoha Village?
But, how could he be in the Anbu?
And still be the top Jonin?
This kind of killing machine hidden in the shadows!
"Jigen, you've lost," Ignis said with a smile.
"Hmph!"
Jigen snorted coldly, forming hand seals.
Behind him, the Eight Trigrams Empty Palm re-condensed.
At the same time, Jigen wore a ring on the index finger, little finger, and ring finger of his left hand.
The three rings emitted a dazzling light.
"Crescent Moon Empty Palm!"
Jigen's voice was low, the Eight Trigrams Empty Palm slamming down fiercely towards Ignis.
The air was torn apart, clusters of pitch-black mist enveloping Ignis, as if to completely devour him.
This was Jigen's ultimate technique, Crescent Moon Empty Palm.
Legend had it that this Empty Palm could extract the resentment and evil chi from the air, fusing it into a spatial poisonous mist, possessing terrible corrosive properties.
Once contaminated, even if one didn't die, their whole body would fester and die.
Even a mountain could be eroded into powder in an instant.
This was the source of Jigen's confidence, and also the fundamental reason for his dominance in the Naruto world.
Relying on the Empty Palm, he had killed the Fifth Kazekage in a short time.
And after that, he had retired from the world, beginning to devote himself to researching the Eight Trigrams Empty Palm, hoping to elevate its power to the strongest.
Now, he had finally found an opportunity.
It was just that, what Jigen never expected was -
"Hello~"
Ignis waved at Jigen, his body blooming with brilliant light, transforming into a metallic texture.
A suit of steel armor covered his body.
The Eight Trigrams Empty Palm landed, hitting the armor, stirring up a piercing metallic friction sound.
These mists, were also unable to penetrate into the armor.
This was Armament Haki purchased by Ignis from the system shop, specifically to counter this move of Jigen's.
Although these mists contained extremely terrifying corrosive properties, they were unable to harm Ignis.
"How is this possible!"
Jigen widened his eyes, a look of disbelief on his face.
What exactly was this armor?
"Nothing is impossible."
Ignis slowly pulled out the Kusanagi Sword, slashing towards Jigen with a sword.
Jigen's body, retreated several steps in succession, unloading the impact force brought by the blade.
But this didn't allow him to settle down, instead falling into an even more panicked state.
This enemy, actually possessed such bizarre defensive means.
His Susanoo, was unable to break through the opponent's defense at all!
"I said, your Susanoo is very weak."
Ignis said, "Although my Susanoo can't compare to the Six Paths Mode Kurama, it's not much inferior. You should
be clear, about the gap in strength between us."
"You!"
Jigen's face was uncertain.
It was indeed so, the difference in strength between him and Ignis, was enormous.
Continuing to fight like this, would only result in him being defeated, losing his most precious things.
No, this wasn't what Jigen wanted.
He still wanted to avenge his hatred, torturing Ignis to death, to eliminate the hatred in his heart.
How could he be defeated so early?
"Hehe."
Jigen coldly laughed, "Truly didn't expect, that I, having opened the Eight Inner Gates to the seventh gate, would actually be unable to do anything to you, you little brat."
"Hmm?"
Hearing Jigen's words, Ignis revealed a trace of surprise.
Eight Inner Gates, seventh gate!
How did he know this was his bloodline talent?
Could it be that Madara Uchiha told Jigen?
How would Jigen know?
And Jigen, didn't pay attention to Ignis's surprise, his right hand clenching his fist.
As he clenched his fist, the air within the entire house seemed to tremble.
Ignis noticed that on Jigen's fist, sharp bone spurs had actually grown out.
On Jigen's face, a painful and ferocious expression also surfaced, as if some strange thing, was gnawing at his body.
"Your mortal flesh, actually dares to offend this old monk."
Jigen roared, "Today this old monk will cut you into a thousand pieces!"
His hands clenched into fists.
Endless, berserk chakra, erupted from his body, transforming into a torrent.
"Eight Trigrams Eight Trigrams Empty Palm!"
Jigen roared.
The floor in front of him, suddenly caved in.
Then, an arm stretched out from within, gripping Jigen's shoulder.
Two arms simultaneously gripped Jigen's shoulders.
Jigen's face revealed an incomparably painful expression.
On those layers of bone spurs, a scarlet light actually flickered, as if it was going to devour people alive.
These were his other two ninjutsu, Bloody Bone Claws.
Using his own blood, condensing it into bone claws, possessing unparalleled penetrating power.
Jigen had always believed, that the Eight Trigrams Empty Palm he cultivated, was unique.
It was just a pity, he encountered Ignis.
A series of cracking sounds.
Ignis's right hand easily snapped Jigen's shoulder blade.
Fresh blood spurted out, but Jigen still stood in place.
This degree of injury, simply didn't constitute any too serious damage.
Ignis raised his foot, kicking out fiercely, kicking Jigen in the chest.
Jigen flew out, falling to the ground, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.
"You..."
He wanted to struggle to get up, but discovered that his shoulder blade, had actually been crushed by Ignis.
"Don't waste time, make your move." Ignis said.
"I admit, I underestimated you."
Jigen took a deep breath and said, "But, I haven't reached a dead end yet!"
Rumbling!
A clap of thunder boomed.
In the sky, dark clouds gathered, lightning snakes danced.
"My talent, is Heavenly Tribulation!" Jigen's voice spread all around.
In the thunderous sound, black clouds drifted over, suppressing the entire sky.
A dense gloom enveloped the entire temple.
Strands of electric arcs constantly jumped, illuminating Jigen's face, making him appear incomparably ferocious.
"Lightning Release Super Lightning Roar Technique!"
Jigen roared, his eyes turning completely red, the skin all over his body flashing with a purplish-gold luster.
