"Tsk! One against two... no, one against three is really difficult to deal with. As Xia Mu said, the Sound Four's strength is not ordinary. This is still in the state without the Curse Mark activated. Once the opponent uses the Curse Mark power, I might become very passive."
Kakashi mused inwardly, silently pushing up his forehead protector, revealing his Sharingan.
At the same time, he also subconsciously touched the Chakra battery tied to his arm. If he ran out of blue, he would immediately open it. Although he hadn't stored much Chakra in the past few days, it was enough to let him fight for quite a while.
Kidomaru continued to spit out spider webs, but they were still easily dodged.
Kakashi even deliberately dodged towards Sakon and Ukon, so Sakon and Ukon were often interfered with by the spider webs and gradually became irritable.
After being stuck by a spider web again, Sakon and Ukon became enraged: "Kidomaru, you bastard! Either come down and fight, or stop spitting your sticky spider webs! If you dare interfere with me again, I'll kill you first!".
Kidomaru was completely unafraid and even mocked: "I spit my spider webs, what's it to you? Clearly, your strength is too low, others can dodge them, but you can't. You should go help Tayuya or Jirobo over there. I'm enough here. You're just getting in the way here!"
"You! You're asking for death!"
"Come on! Who's afraid of who!"
Kakashi watched the two arguing and secretly let out a breath.
Keep arguing, I can wait for you to finish arguing, or wait for you to finish fighting. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry.
Kakashi had been taking the time to observe the battle situation on Sasuke and Shino's side. It was clear that both of them were very strong and didn't need him to worry at all. That's why he liked to stall for time, waiting for Sasuke or Shino to win one fight before coming over to help.
Now, the opponent's Curse Mark state was still unclear. Kakashi had always been cautious, so he naturally wanted to preserve his strength and observe his opponents first.
"I also don't know how things are on Xia Mu's side. If he could rush over using the Flying Thunder God Technique, it would be even easier here. It's just, he probably can't come over, right?"
At this moment, Xia Mu, who was being thought of, was eating jerky and silently watching Kimimaro leave.
It seems Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi felt things were bad, so they sent Kimimaro to meet them. The Sound Four turned into the Sound Five, Sasuke and the others are probably in trouble.
I should have gotten Kimimaro's intelligence at the beginning.
Xia Mu quickly drew a portrait of Kimimaro and wrote down some fighting methods of the Corpse Bone Pulse. He was just about to transmit it to Kakashi, but then thought that Kakashi might be fighting the Sound Four and might not be able to receive the intelligence easily.
"Who would be better to give it to? Did Konoha send reinforcements?"
Xia Mu scratched his head, this wasn't very clear.
The only thing he could try was to sense the location of the Flying Thunder God Technique formula, after all, he had given a battery to Yamashiro Aoba before. If Yamashiro Aoba was the reinforcement, it would be convenient.
However, the direction of Yamashiro Aoba's formula stopped in the direction of the Village and didn't move, so it didn't seem like he was a reinforcement.
But Xia Mu discovered another formula moving rapidly, and it was moving from the northwest of the Fire Country towards the northeast... Wait a minute! From the northwest to the northeast of the Fire Country?
This is the Flying Thunder God Technique formula on Tenten!
So Kai's team is the reinforcement? They have to rush from the northwest border to the northeast border?!
Xia Mu rolled his eyes speechlessly. Tsunade really knows how to use people! Are there no other Ninja in the Village that she would send Kai's team, which is far away at the northwest border, as reinforcement!
However, Xia Mu guessed correctly, there really was no one left in the Village!
"Since that's the case, I'll give the intelligence to Tenten."
Then he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to transmit Kimimaro's intelligence.
At this time, Tenten was sitting on Badora's back with Kai and Neji, flying towards the northeast border. Suddenly, a scroll flashed and was received by Tenten.
"What's going on? Are there enemies?" Kai and Neji immediately became alert.
"No, it's a Flying Thunder God Technique message from Xia Mu!"
Tenten became serious, "A message that makes Xia Mu not hesitate to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to transmit is probably not simple."
Saying that, she opened the scroll, and the three of them read it together, immediately becoming urgent. The Sound Village actually had reinforcements, and this person named Kimimaro actually possessed a Kekkei Genkai. It seemed his strength was definitely not ordinary. They must be careful of this person and get there as quickly as possible now.
Neji, however, stroked his chin. He had paid someone to investigate the Hyuga Clan during the Warring States period. It seemed they had some connection with a clan called Kaguya, and the Kaguya clan's Kekkei Genkai was the Corpse Bone Pulse.
So, is there any connection between the Hyuga Clan and the Kaguya clan?
"Let's speed up too!"
Tenten said, patting Badora's back, "Badora, please hurry. When we get back, I'll prepare a deer for you, a deer raised by the Nara clan."
Badora immediately let out a long cry and began charging forward like lightning.
The battle near the northeast border of the Fire Country was still continuing, and as the situation became more intense, the three battle circles moved further and further apart.
Shino deliberately led Jirobo further away. He planned to defeat this guy quickly and then go help Kakashi-sensei and Sasuke. Getting further away from the others was to make it more convenient to act.
At this time, Jirobo was already extremely irritable.
His Taijutsu and Earth Release were completely useless against Shino, yet Shino could still continuously attack him with his insect swarm. In the long run, he would definitely fall. How could he not become anxious?
Seeing that Shino was going to lead him elsewhere, it was clear he was about to unleash a big move.
He didn't care about that anymore and directly activated Curse Mark Stage Two. His whole body's skin turned red, and his body became taller. He even grew horns on his forehead, and some places on his body grew tumors, looking very hideous. More importantly, his Chakra became even more violent.
"I see, this is Curse Mark Stage Two. Borrowing the power of the Curse Mark, one obtains immense Chakra and can indeed become stronger instantly. However, this kind of external power causes considerable damage to the body and definitely cannot be sustained for very long. Should I stall for time? Or finish the fight quickly?"
Various judgments flashed through Shino's mind, and he quickly had an answer.
The opponent is indeed very strong in this so-called Curse Mark Stage Two, but I am not weak either. Moreover, the Aburame Clan's fighting method itself is not about head-on confrontation. Saying 'finish the fight quickly' doesn't mean competing with the opponent in strength, but rather using brains to overcome the opponent's brute force.
Just a mere brute, defeating him is not difficult!
"Die! Aburame Clan!"
Jirobo roared, the ground beneath his feet suddenly exploded, and his entire body shot towards Shino like a cannonball.
Shino, however, remained calm. He stood straight on the tree, pointing two fingers at his temples. Seeing Jirobo charging in front of him, he decisively activated his technique.
"Sun Fist!"
Buzz! A strong light suddenly erupted from Shino's body.
Because Jirobo had charged very close and had been staring at Shino, his eyes were suddenly blinded by the strong light. For a moment, he could only see a blinding white expanse, and his eyes felt incredibly painful.
