Killer Bee instantly appeared before Aokawa, raising the Ninja Blade in his hand high and slashing down fiercely at Aokawa's head!
Just when everyone thought it was all over...
Aokawa's right hand, which had been emitting a green light, suddenly swung upward.
A Spirit Blade emitting a blue-white glow appeared out of thin air in Aokawa's palm, precisely parrying Killer Bee's full-force slash at an incredible angle.
Clang—!
The piercing sound of metal clashing rang throughout the Battlefield.
At the same time, his arm that should have been useless was now covered in strange blue-white patterns, and his fingers, like iron pincers, firmly gripped Killer Bee's other fist, which was poised to strike.
Killer Bee's eyes widened slightly behind his sunglasses, reflecting the figure of the Byakugan youth before him.
How is this possible?
He knew the power of his "Lightning Plough Hot Blade" all too well; even if the opponent reacted extremely quickly to deflect most of the force, the remaining impact should have been enough to crush bone to powder.
Furthermore, he had seen with his own eyes the opponent's left arm twisting at a bizarre angle and heard the crisp sound of bone fracturing.
Is it genjutsu?
The thought was snuffed out as soon as it arose.
As a perfect Jinchuriki, his resistance to genjutsu was extremely high; the Tailed Beast Chakra would immediately disperse any mental interference.
"Interesting kid, Yo!" Killer Bee grinned. Far from being annoyed that his attack was blocked, he showed a hint of excitement.
On the other side of the Battlefield, Rin Nohara, who had just set Hyuga Ryosuke's dislocated joints, looked up at the field, murmuring to herself with a face full of disbelief and confusion.
"Impossible... absolutely impossible! Comminuted fractures of the ulna and radius, and a depressed fracture of the left sternum, such injuries..."
"Even if Lady Tsunade were here in person, it would take time! How could he recover in such a short time and still withstand such high-intensity physical confrontation?"
Her words were filled with confusion that overturned medical common sense.
"That... is not healing."
Hinata Iruha's figure appeared beside her, also looking up at the two confronting each other in the field.
The veins of his Byakugan bulged to the limit as he stared intently at the distant Aokawa, interrupting her in a dry tone.
"Not healed?" Rin Nohara was stunned. "Then how did he..."
"You can't see it..." There was a faint, imperceptible tremor in Hinata Iruha's voice. What he saw was far more terrifying than the fractures themselves.
"Under his skin, at the site of the broken bones... there are countless Chakra Threads, hundreds of times thinner than a strand of hair!"
"Those threads... like the strings of a marionette, are forcibly wrapping around those broken bone fragments, pulling them back into place, binding and fixing them, and then driving his entire arm, his entire upper body!"
Hinata Iruha's words caused everyone nearby who could hear, including Kakashi and Kurenai Yuhi, who were barely supporting themselves, to feel a chill run straight up their spines.
What a crazy move!
And what a resilient will!
Enduring the excruciating pain of broken bones being forcibly pulled and fixed by countless threads, he was treating his broken body like a Puppet to control in battle!
Lying on the ground, Hyuga Ryosuke saw the same scene as Hinata Iruha.
His white pupils were full of empathetic trembling and dread.
He had only had two ribs kicked broken, and it already hurt beyond endurance.
Yet his childhood friend, who couldn't even endure the hardship of practicing Gentle Fist since they were young, was at this moment using Chakra Threads to forcibly connect broken bones and engage in high-intensity combat.
"Aokawa, what have you been through this past year?" Hyuga Ryosuke thought to himself as he watched Aokawa fighting fiercely in the field.
In the field, the piercing metallic sound of blades clashing rang out continuously.
Aokawa swung his blade horizontally, while Killer Bee dodged to the side and counter-thrust with his blade.
Clang!
The Spirit Blade parried at an angle, sparks flying everywhere.
The two figures moved rapidly in the center of the Battlefield, every exchange carrying lethal intent.
Both were masters of swordsmanship, and the battle was exceptionally fierce.
Clang!
Another sound of clashing blades rang out, and the two jumped back in unison, each looking at the other.
Just as everyone thought the tension was high and they were about to strike again...
Killer Bee suddenly took out a notebook labeled Rhyme Collection, picked up a pencil with his other hand, licked the lead with his tongue, and began to scribble and draw on it while muttering something.
"Uh..."
The Konoha group was instantly speechless, their mouths agape, unable to understand: "What on earth is this guy doing?"
Lying in the distance, a cross-shaped vein appeared on Nii Yugito's face as she roared, "Bee! You idiot! I already told you this kid isn't easy to deal with!"
"You're still writing your bullshit Rap."
But Killer Bee had already entered his zone, turning a deaf ear, his pen moving non-stop.
Aokawa was not surprised; Killer Bee had been playing around from the start.
But he wasn't annoyed in the least; he wished for it, as it allowed him to reinforce his wounds.
Green Chakra rose in his hand again, directly covering the fracture.
At the same time, he activated Rantō Tenkū to repair the Chakra Threads that had snapped during the recent combat.
Gritting his teeth, he didn't turn around but spoke to the Konoha group behind him: "Kakashi! Once Rin finishes the emergency treatment for Ryosuke and Asuma, those of you who can move must immediately retreat with the wounded!"
Kakashi was startled: "Aokawa, we should..."
"You can't help!" Aokawa interrupted him bluntly. "This guy is much stronger than you imagine. Your current state will only distract me and tie my hands!"
His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly, striking heavily at their hearts.
Everyone lowered their heads.
Burdens!
Dead weight!
This was their current situation; not only could they not help, but they were also causing Aokawa to be restricted.
In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that Aokawa had put it very tactfully.
Let alone being injured, even in their prime, they wouldn't be able to help against such an enemy.
If Aokawa were an Elite Jonin of the village, they would retreat without hesitation.
But Aokawa was their peer, and putting all the burden on someone the same age as them...
Their hearts were filled with complex emotions.
Unwillingness, guilt, and the helplessness of reality were intertwined.
Kakashi clenched his fist, then suddenly relaxed it, saying in a low voice:
"Understood!"
In the field, the pencil Killer Bee had been moving suddenly stopped.
He glanced at what he had recorded, nodded with satisfaction, and slowly closed the notebook. "I'm in a great mood now, I thought of an excellent rhyme, thanks!"
"So... I'll play with you guys for a bit, you bastard! Baby!"
As he spoke, he drew all the blades on his person and threw them into the air, then caught them with his mouth, armpits, elbows, and knees.
In an extremely bizarre posture, he gripped all seven Ninja Blades.
In an instant, he switched from single-blade mode to the distorted yet lethal Seven-Sword Style!
"Let you feel this great one's alluring rhythm!"
