“You!” Kimimaro looked at me in disbelief. Fine black scales covered my body from neck to down. Although they looked like dragon scales, Kimimaro knew what they were.
“Orochimaru gave me the mark just before he died like a dog he was.” I smirked as I looked down on Kimimaro.
“ARGHH!” He charged at me as he swung his tail. I jumped and in mid air turned upside down. Little bit of chakra at the sole of my feet and I was hanging down from the ceiling. Like a bull, Kimamaro passed through my phantom and hit the wall of ivies, destroying most of the first layer.
Harrada was meticulous with the wall, and had several layers. The chakra within the ivies would probably intercept Byakugan, but still, erring on the side of caution wouldn’t hurt. Oh, Cursed Seal, right. When scales covered my body, I felt the invasion of this chakra. It was so potent, it was distributing my control, but the sheer amount of it was making it worthy. I fed the chakra to my left hand and the giant spinning ball of fire started to wreck chaos.
“This is Oodama Rasengan right?” I smirked as I looked at Kimimaro who was about to charge at me. “Don’t tell me I didn’t warn you.”
With it, I jumped from where I was standing, and met with Kimimaro who also charged upwards towards me. There was a bony weapon around his arm, and truth to be told, it looked boring. I mean, you can control any bone in your arm, can you at least be cooler? What is that shit? Revolving, bony gauntlet? A spear? The fuck?
My giant Katon Rasengan met with his arm and the white bone started to fall apart like an egg shell. In front of true power, it was no different from paper. Kimimaro looked at the Rasengan in my hand with dread as he punched me with his free hand to open the distance. But when he touched me, my chakra held onto his punch and kept him in place.
It was only for a second, because sticking to other Shinobi wasn’t as easy as sticking to a surface. With their chakra, Shinobi could disrupt yours and break free. But that 1 second was enough for me. The rasengan broke his punch and hit him on the chest, sending him flying back to the ground. I knew he was okay. When Rasengan contacted his chest, he let out his ribs to protect himself once again. He is still not that damaged. I followed up with a jump and aimed at his head. Because I rocketed by using the ceiling I was fast. The lightning covered my body, and cracked the air while my speed doubled. I formed two RasenDrill at each sole and fell toward where Kimimaro was lying.
He looked at me in absolute terror. His pupils were dilated to the limit and he couldn’t breath. But the words I uttered next made him forget everything. “Orochimaru is a fool. A dead fool.”
Kimimaro with a new found strength jumped onto his feet in a split second and bones started to leave his body. Layer after layer, bones covered his body and when I arrived, the drill was stopped by the shield he put up urgently. Now, I know I am asking for trouble by pushing him, but like I said. I like Kimimaro and I also can understand his situation. I want him to have a dignified death, and to be honest, he doesn’t have that much time. Can I kill him quicker if I want to? Damn yea I can. There are still many things I haven’t even tried. I didn’t even summon some of my strongest Daedra. But I don’t want that.
He will die today, on his own, because of his sickness, while protecting Orochimaru’s honor. There is no need to kill him brutally. Kimimaro walked behind the shield with a smirk. He gained his confidence back and looked at me in hatred. Although it was the seal’s second form that clouded his sense. Normally, Kimimaro wouldn’t have this sort of look. I didn’t mind. I pulled out a Kunai and covered it with lightning chakra. Although the bones were tough, lightning could still cut them easily.
“Die!” Kimimaro shouted and slapped the ground with two hands. In the next second bones started to leave the ground. They were thick, strong and sharp. I jumped into the air with a sigh and turned upside down. I brought my arm down and the chakra started to spin.
“Raiton: RasenSaw”
A spinning saw started to cut through whatever was approaching me. It looked like RasenShuriken but it was even deadlier. Everspinning saw could cut through everything, and when mixed with Raiton, there weren't many things that could stand against it. The bones were the same. One by one, all of them turned into dust as soon as they met with the saw. Now, this technique cost me quite a lot of Chakra. And I mean lots. If it wasn’t for the Curse Seal, I probably couldn’t keep it on for more than three seconds. I know, three seconds is a lot in a battle of experts, but Kimimaro’s attack kept on coming.
After 10 seconds, the bones stopped coming out but Kimimaro wasn’t in position to battle. He looked at me in surprise and coughed blood. He had no more power to battle against me. In the end he fell on his knees.
“So long, soldier. You died while protecting your master. You can go freely.” A wisp of fire left my hand and burned Kimimaro to ashes and when Harrada canceled the ivies, ashes scattered away with the wind, carrying him for his final journey. I thought about taking his body back to the village, but decided otherwise. There was no need to experiment on his body. He deserved a rest.
I looked towards the others who were waiting in worry.
“Koushin!” Hinata dashed at me with worry. Shino was also behind her, looking edgier than normal.
“I am okay guys. He is dead.” I smiled. “How about others?”
“We took care of them.” Neji said proudly.
“Good job.” I nodded and started to walk toward one of the corridors. Aca had already learned everything in the base, all I had to do was look around. There wasn't anything valuable in the base. Orochimaru gave up on this base and Kimimaro. So his only objective was to destroy as many Konoha Shinobi as possible. The prisoners and others were all expendable. Other than some weapons, there was nothing.
“Let’s go. We are done.”
