10 CH10 Taking Over Icewood (3)
BONUS CHAPTER - FOR THE GOAL OF 150 POWER STONES
------------------
The air is filled with a strong smell of blood, coupled with the pervasive sense of fear, causing even these seasoned warriors to feel dizzy.
"How, how can this be?! Who are you?"
Hoshino Taiga's pale face is filled with panic, his mouth hangs open, and his lower lip trembles. Cold sweat instantly soaks through his entire attire as he glances at T Bone. Stepping back involuntarily.
T Bone dispelled the ninjutsu of two ninjas with a single strike, taking the lives of both ninjas and dozens of warriors. What kind of person could achieve such destruction?
The mini-pool of blood staining the ground in front of them filled with blood of the warriors and the 2 shinobis shinobis, who just embraced death, with overwhelming despair. The eyes of every warrior reflect not only their personal sorrow but also the sorrow for their fallen comrades.
Despite this, they still cling to their weapons because the gunfire persists, and the barrage continues to engulf them. The momentary lapse in focus causes several to be riddled with bullets, collapsing into the pool of blood.
However, the horror extends beyond them. Even on the distant rooftops, the four members of the Kaguya clan wear expressions of astonishment. They sense no chakra flowing from T Bone, indicating he is not a ninja and doesn't rely on chakra assistance.
They can't fathom how someone could cause such widespread destruction without relying on chakra, solely depending on physical prowess and swordsmanship.
"This guy is strong."
After a long silence, Kaguya Keita solemnly speaks. His eyes continuously flicker with brilliance. T Bone's earlier move has left him astonished, having never seen such a well-trained individual, surpassing even the guards under the daimyo.
'The strength of these individuals seems to exceed those under the daimyo's command. From which organization or faction do they originate?'
"Aren't these guys planning to help?"
Hoshino Taiga, looking alarmed, glances bitterly at the Kaguya clan members on the distant rooftop who show no intention of intervening. He is already considering retreat. Moving discreetly to blend into the crowd, he takes only two steps back when he's suddenly blocked by a figure resembling a zombie.
"Damn it, when did you come over?"
Hoshino Taiga is startled, looking at T Bone as if seeing a ghost. This person was just across from him moments ago, at least a hundred meters away, and now he's beside him.
"Criminal, your existence will only bring more suffering to the people. For the sake of our lord's command, to protect justice and fairness..."
"Tell your lord that we're protecting this person." T Bone is interrupted while he was speaking with a judgmental tone. Kaguya Keita's calm voice interjects from the side, and a barrage of white bone spikes with a cold gleam hurtles toward T Bone.
"There's someone else."
Lacking Observation Haki, T Bone was unaware of the Kaguya clan members hidden in the distance. Before the sudden bone spikes, accompanied by a rushing sound could reach T Bone, in an instant he reacts swiftly, using his sword to deflect them, he narrowly avoided the attack range aimed at him.
"Who are you people?"
After retreating about five or six meters, T Bone stabilizes, noticing four more male figures around Hoshino Taiga.
"We are ninja from the Kaguya clan. We're here to protect the head of the Hoshino family. Inform your lord not to interfere with the Hoshino family."
Looking at T Bone, Kaguya Keita calmly spoke. When mentioning the Kaguya clan, his expressions showed a touch of arrogance, as if the Kaguya clan members are superior to even the daimyo.
"So, you're with this guy."
T Bone stared at Kaguya Keita, lips moving slightly, his eyes searching for weaknesses. "You can think of it that way."
"Then let's take care of them together."
Kaguya Keita nods, but before he finishes, T Bone leaps into the air and attacks Kaguya Keita directly. The stone slab where T Penne was standing moments ago is left with an indentation as he uses his sword with a determined resolve.
This is the first command given by Lord Shimizu Akihiro. T Bone must carry it out.
"Just a subordinate, and you dare to attack me? You're asking for death."
Kaguya Keita is surprised that T Bone would still attack him after learning about his affiliation with the Kaguya clan. To him, it's a blatant insult to his clan. Simultaneously, the chakra within the body is swiftly mobilized.
Dance of the Camellia!
Only to see Kaguya Keita's chakra multiply around his shoulder, his right hand likewise enveloped in chakra. Suddenly, he pulls out a bone sword from his shoulder. The bone sword is over a meter long, and though it's a bone sword, it radiates a cold light at the tip.
"Clang!"
The bone sword is placed horizontally in a diagonal position, blocking T Bone's attack. The clash of the bone sword with T Bone's sword produced a sharp, metallic sound.
The Shikotsumyaku also specializes in physical techniques, but surprisingly, in terms of strength, Kaguya Keita seems to be slightly inferior to T Bone. T Bone's sword blade subtly showing a sinking trend.
"Hmph."
Seeing himself being suppressed, Kaguya Keita remains calm, as if deliberately letting T Penne overwhelm him. His eyes narrow, a cold smirk forming. He fully activates all the chakra in his body, covering various bones with chakra. Bones covered by chakra quickly sprout bone buds, and then countless bone spurs instantly surge out from his body.
Dance of the Bracken!
Countless bone spurs, catalyzed by chakra, grow wildly and spread outward, resembling numerous venomous snakes with sharp fangs, piercing towards T Bone. It's evident that Kaguya Keita had set up this trap in advance.
Kami-e!
T Bone has never encountered such a technique before. If he doesn't evade, he's bound to be pierced like a sieve. Hastily pushing his long sword, he attempts to maneuver away.
However, the other three members of the Kaguya clan, apparently in coordination with Kaguya Keita, have quietly positioned themselves, wielding bone spurs, waiting for him. Regardless of how T Bone dodges, he is about to be struck by at least one bone spur.
Just as T Bone is about to be injured, a male voice from the side speaks.
Shigan!
