"'To be able to withstand even Sasuke Uchiha's Rinnegan from over a decade later, not bad…'" Kaoru said calmly, looking at Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's surprised face.
"'You actually blocked my punch… It seems you are no ordinary human…'" Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's pure white eyes widened in surprise.
"'The real surprise is yet to come…'"
With a playful smile, a "bang" sound was heard. Kaoru, who had blocked Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's punch, suddenly turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared.
"What is this…" Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's eyes narrowed, and he exclaimed in surprise.
"What… You've never even seen a Shadow Clone Jutsu?!" A cold voice suddenly came from behind Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki. Before he could even turn around, Kaoru's main body instantly channeled the vast and surging chakra within him and, at extremely close range, unleashed a fierce whip kick towards Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki!
"Dragon Tail Sweep!!!"
The whip kick, powerful enough to seemingly tear through the space before it, sent Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki flying backward. His massive body crashed into the castle, disappearing from view, followed by the sound of countless walls breaking.
"I didn't expect you, a mere kid, to possess such immense power…" From amidst a pile of debris, Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki pushed away the obstacles pressing down on him and emerged from the now partially ruined palace, standing before Kaoru.
His waist, where Kaoru's kick had landed, showed some cracks, but other than that, he didn't seem to have sustained significant damage.
"You actually blocked my normal state Dragon Tail Sweep, not bad…" Kaoru raised an eyebrow, sighing slightly as he looked at Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki, who appeared unharmed.
This Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki seemed to fight purely with taijutsu, making his body incredibly strong and fearless in hand-to-hand combat.
"I can sense an extremely vast power and chakra contained within your body. If I deliver you to Lord Momoshiki, he will surely be very pleased…" As he spoke, Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki clenched his fists, a serious expression on his face.
A dazzling red light flashed across Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's back. After a moment, he reached behind him and pulled out a weapon resembling a flail, emanating a shining red light and exuding a strange and powerful aura.
"Creating a weapon out of thin air, is this Yin Release from Yin-Yang Release…?"
Staring at the red-glowing flail Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki had produced, Kaoru speculated inwardly. In Yin-Yang Release, Yin Release could create form from formlessness, meaning "creating something from nothing."
Yang Release, on the other hand, could imbue objects with life. Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's act of producing a weapon out of thin air seemed like Yin Release, but it also felt somewhat different…
Regardless, looking at Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki, who was considerably more imposing than himself, Kaoru realized that his aura had completely changed from before. An invisible pressure swept over him like a gale, scattering countless pebbles from the castle floor.
"Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki… Since he'll cause trouble in Konoha Village later anyway, why not deal with him now…" Kaoru thought to himself. Although encountering Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki was accidental, seeing him reminded Kaoru of Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki, another formidable boss. If possible, it wouldn't hurt to deal with him now…
"This guy specializes in taijutsu combat. Should I play along with him…" Feeling the power emanating from Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki, a strange smile began to form on Kaoru's lips. His scarlet Mangekyo Sharingan began to radiate surging battle intent.
Sage Mode, activate!
A touch of color was added to Kaoru's eyes. Having activated Sage Mode, he quickly took action!
Under Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's somewhat surprised gaze, Kaoru channeled the vast chakra within his body. He raised his right hand slightly, and a simple, ancient-looking single-edged sword, complete with its scabbard, materialized out of thin air and was steadily held in his hand.
"Let me test you with the Blade of the Gale…"
With a crisp sound of drawing the sword, Kaoru drew the single-edged sword. The tip of the blade drooped towards the ground. At this moment, Kaoru, holding the sword in one hand and wearing the Hokage's robe, appeared like an elegant swordsman.
This single-edged sword was naturally the one wielded by Yasuo, capable of controlling the wind!
"That sword… is very nice…" Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's gaze fell upon the Blade of the Gale in Kaoru's hand. In the next moment, he raised the red-glowing flail in his hand high and charged towards Kaoru with an unstoppable momentum!
"Good! Steel-Cutting Flash!!!"
Kaoru's eyes locked onto Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's charging figure. He then slashed forward fiercely with his sword!
Boom!!!
Kaoru's sharp Blade of the Gale and Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's flail collided fiercely, filling the entire dark castle palace with a deafening roar and brilliant light!
The two weapons clashed, and Kaoru's Blade of the Gale firmly suppressed the flail. Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki let out a roar of unwillingness. Just as he was about to resist, Kaoru slid forward. In a blur of motion, Kaoru had already teleported behind Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki!
"Q-Flash!!!"
Kaoru elegantly slid behind Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki using Yasuo's E skill, then slashed out with his sword again!
"Steel-Cutting Flash!!!"
Splat!!!
Kaoru's slash directly pierced Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's abdomen, creating a gash from which blood poured out profusely.
"Mmm?!" Seeing the wound instantly opened in his abdomen, Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki showed no sign of pain on his face. Instead, his eyes narrowed, and he exerted force with his hands, pushing Kaoru away.
"Tch… Your strength is truly incredibly immense…" With a wave of his flail, Kaoru's lips curled slightly, but his movements didn't stop. His scarlet eyes flashed with light, and he unleashed another Q-Flash, instantly reappearing behind Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki.
Carrying unparalleled force, Kaoru instantly shifted his weight and, like a coiled spring, unleashed a fierce sword strike. The entire sequence was fluid and incredibly swift.
However, having already witnessed this move and learned from past experience, Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's movements were equally swift. He swung his flail backward, and purple lightning crackled around his attack, as if he intended to kill Kaoru with this powerful blow!
Facing Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's incredibly swift and formidable attack, Kaoru's scarlet Mangekyo Sharingan had already seen through his movements. The previous sword slash was merely a feint. He spun his body rapidly in mid-air, dodging Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's powerful flail swing, and then turned to deliver a kick!
Boom!!!
Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki had not expected the situation to change so abruptly. Caught off guard after his flail missed, he took Kaoru's whip kick to the face and was sent flying, crashing into the dilapidated palace once more.
"You are a worthy opponent…"
A deep, resonant voice echoed. From amidst the dust and rubble, a massive, imposing figure slowly emerged. As the silhouette gradually became clear, Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki appeared to be completely unharmed.
This guy was merely a combat weapon created by Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki, definitely not an ordinary human. His resilience was terrifyingly high.
Seeing Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki emerge almost unscathed from the rubble, Kaoru raised an eyebrow slightly. He knew very well how powerful the kick he had just delivered was. Amplified by Sage Mode, his strength had reached an immeasurable level. Furthermore, Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki had already been hit by his Dragon Tail Sweep and Steel-Cutting Flash earlier, yet it had still not caused any fatal damage…
Buzz...…
A faint sound came from the air. Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki, who had slowly emerged from the rubble, reached behind his back and pulled out a giant, red-glowing axe. He swung it lightly, and the stone pillars surrounding the castle palace were instantly cut in half.
