The Fierce Kimimaro

"Really? But that's enough." Kimimaro actually stepped on one of the water dragons when he got above them. Even Rock Lee's moves were incomparable to his nimble toes. This kind of body coordination and control was too powerful. Only Kimimaro, who had Shikotsumyaku, could do this so easily.

"Water Release - Spiral Water Cannon!" Of course, Ryoha would not let go of this opportunity for such a target. The water blast exploded on Kimimaro's body with a loud bang, and a large number of water droplets fell to the ground that had become a river.

"Although I am not very proficient in ninjutsu... I can still use taijutsu and shadow clones, you know?" It was unknown when Kimimaro arrived behind Ryoha. He pulled out a bone knife from his arm and then brandished it against Ryoha. The nimble attack suddenly hit Ryoha.

"I am good at ninjutsu, but I am also good at taijutsu." Ryoha's 3-tomoe Sharingan spun and predicted Kimimaro's attack.

Not willing to be outdone, he waved his type-56 knife at the attacking Kimimaro. The sonic boom produced by their high-speed movements and quick attacks, as well as the sound of the metal collision between the bone knife and the type-56, kept exploding in the air.

"This person is very powerful, even more, powerful than Kabuto. Even if I can exert all my strength at my peak, he can actually fight me evenly in terms of taijutsu. He is not a simple ninja."

The more Kimimaro was shocked, the more his fighting spirit was aroused because this was his last battle and also his last outbreak.

"Dance of the Clematis: Flower!" Kimimaro suddenly raised his right foot. His entire right leg was covered with a layer of bones. A side kick was sent towards Ryoha, making Ryoha have no choice but to dodge. Thus, Kimimaro used this opportunity to pull out his spine and turn it into a bone whip. He threw it at Ryoha and immediately tied him up.

"Take this." Kimimaro held the bone whip in his left hand. A bone spike appeared around his entire right arm. It was made from the strongest compressed bone and had a strong penetrating force.

Kimimaro pulled his left hand, and Ryoha was immediately pulled over. At the same time, Kimimaro stepped onto the water and leaped toward Ryoha. The bone spike in his right hand was drawn towards Ryoha. Once it hit him, he would undoubtedly die.

"Splash!"

Flowers splashed. Kimimaro's bone spike pierced through Ryoha in mid-air, splitting him into two halves. Ryoha's corpse fell on the water, and Kimimaro also fell to the ground.

"I don't believe that your strength is so simple. I think I should have been hit by your genjutsu now." Kimimaro did not have the slightest joy of victory. He looked around in all directions. There was no change at all. He did not even know when he had fallen into the genjutsu. In other words, the battle just now was actually a genjutsu.

"Smart." The world in front of him shattered with a crack and was replaced by the same scenery. It was obvious that Ryoha had used a genjutsu to watch Kimimaro's moves. After all, he could clearly feel Shikotsumyaku's terrifying power in anime, but he was still worried if he didn't see it with his own eyes.

"Again." Kimimaro smiled slightly. This kind of opponent was more interesting. With a tap of his toes, he rushed to Ryoha like a rocket. He continuously attacked Ryoha with a combination of dances. Making him unable to break through Kimimaro's defense.

"Water Style - Water Dragon Bind." Ryoha waved his type-56 and made a single-handed seal with his left hand. Before Kimimaro could dodge, a water dragon appeared under his feet and wrapped around him.

"Rasengan!" After Ryoha completed the seal, he immediately used the Rasengan and pressed it on Kimimaro's chest. The powerful impact and rotating force moved Kimimaro's internal organs.

"Bang!"

Kimimaro was entangled by the water dragon and could only endure the Rasengan. The Rasengan's size grew from a size of a beach ball to a human-sized compressed chakra ball. The constantly spinning chakra ball pressed down on Kimimaro and continuously crushed him. In the end, his whole body was blown away along with the Rasengan.

"What a powerful ninjutsu. I was almost killed by this move of yours." Kimimaro was sent flying dozens of meters away along with a pool of water around him. However, a ditch appeared on the water under his feet. However, this ditch was quickly filled with a sufficient amount of water again. It was affected by the continuous impact of the Rasengan.

"You're finally here?" Ryoha knew that although Kimimaro could unleash his full strength, he wouldn't last long. Kimimaro would soon die, so this battle would soon end.

"That's Ryoha!" Naruto finally got rid of Tayuya and came to the grasslands. But now, it wasn't a grassland. It had now become a small lake. He found that Kimimaro, who had stolen Sasuke, was fighting Ryoha.

"Naruto, stand aside and don't move. Otherwise, I don't mind killing you." Ryoha's cold voice drifted into Naruto's ears, making him feel as if a gust of cold wind had eaten his body and mind. Ryoha wasn't joking. Kimimaro was running out of time. He didn't want anyone to interfere with this battle. Moreover, he had promised Kimimaro that before he died, no one would be able to touch Sasuke.

"Water Clone Jutsu." Ryoha formed a seal, and a water clone appeared next to him. The clone nodded at Ryoha and rushed toward Naruto. Because the clone was only buying some time, Ryoha didn't use any powerful ninjutsu. He only used genjutsu and a few weak ninjutsu to stall Naruto from going over.

"Ryoha, why did you stop me?" The strength of Naruto had increased a lot, but Ryoha's water clone wasn't weak either. Moreover, Ryoha's clone didn't want to fight against Naruto but to stall for time.

"It's very simple. I promised him that I would not let anyone walk over here before he died. Don't hinder me." Ryoha no longer cared about Naruto because Kimimaro had already rushed over again. When the Rasengan was about to hit him just now, he used Dance of the Larch to block the Rasengan.

Although the bones were broken in the end, the power of the Rasengan was also weakened a lot because it did not seriously injure Kimimaro at all. After all, Kimimaro had the strongest body.

The bones in his body were very hard. The Rasengan just broke his skin and flesh, but the remaining power could not break a layer of hard and tough bone barrier made from his body. There were even more solid bones behind the barrier, so it could be said that the Rasengan only caused him minor injuries.
