In the next moment, under Shinichi's stunned gaze, he stuffed the blood-covered bone fragment and the ruined eyeball directly into his mouth, and his throat rolled as he swallowed it whole.
Shinichi: "…"
Damn! What kind of Shinobi World was this?
"Hair and skin are gifts from one's parents and must not be discarded, huh?"
Shinichi silently mocked inwardly.
Naturally, Memaro Kaguya had no idea what Shinichi was thinking. He slowly turned his head, and his remaining right eye was already dyed crimson with blood vessels. Half his vision had sunk into eternal darkness, while the other half drowned in a churning sea of blood.
He stared at Shinichi as an utterly insane, twisted smile slowly spread across his face.
"Cry! Scream!"
His voice was hoarse like a broken bellows, yet carried a horrifying excitement!
"And then… obediently die!!!"
Boom!!!
An enormous and terrifying amount of chakra erupted from his ruined body like a volcano, then in the next moment, he slammed both hands against the ground!
Dance of the Seedling Fern!
The earth let out unbearable groans and split apart!
Countless thick, pillar-like white bone spikes, sharp as spears, burst from the ground, spreading and piercing toward Shinichi like a suddenly growing forest of bone spikes!
The commotion was so immense that even the ninja battling in the distance turned in horror toward the suddenly rising forest of bone blades that made one's scalp tingle.
"Die! Die!! Die!!! Die!!!! Die!!!!!"
Memaro stood at the center of the bone forest, his lone eye blood-red, looking completely insane.
"Good!!"
Facing this fierce assault, Shinichi was not shocked but delighted. The fighting spirit within his chest erupted upward like blazing fire!
The Weaknessless Soaring Shortswords in his hands suddenly separated into two. The mechanisms at the hilts locked together, connecting the sword tips as he gripped them and began spinning them at high speed!
Whoosh! Whoosh!! Whoosh!!!
Violent wind nature chakra poured wildly into them, condensing, compressing, and transforming through the rapid rotation into a humming, vibrating wheel of death with serrated glowing edges!
Wind Style: Rasen Shuriken!
"Go!"
He shouted lowly and violently hurled the wheel of light containing destructive energy!
Whoosh!
Boom! Boom!! Boom!!!
Wherever the Rasen Shuriken passed, nothing could withstand it!
The incoming forest of bone spikes was sliced apart like wheat stalks before an invisible giant blade, collapsing and shattering in massive swaths into clouds of bone powder!
A straight passage was forcibly carved through the thorns of death!
And Shinichi's figure was already following directly behind it like a streaking cyan meteor, charging through the path toward the center of the bone forest where that crazed figure stood!
During the charge, both his hands formed claws as highly condensed wind-nature chakra gathered at the fingertips, extending into ten-centimeter-long vibrating blades of sharp wind.
Bang! Bang!! Bang!!! Bang!!!!
After carving out a sufficiently deep path, the Rasen Shuriken finally exhausted its energy and dispersed into the air, the twin swords embedded within one of the bone trees.
And at this exact moment, Shinichi had already reached Memaro before him!
Both clawed hands twisted together in a motion resembling a serpent constricting and devouring prey!
Memaro's remaining eye widened violently as the bones in both arms expanded wildly, transforming into two crossed bone shields before him.
A fierce light flashed through Shinichi's eyes as both hands shot out like lightning!
"Go cry!"
The first claw seized the edge of Memaro's left arm bone shield and violently tore it apart!
Crack!
The bone shield and the arm beneath it were ripped open with a massive gap as blood sprayed outward!
The second claw already seized the right-arm shield and repeated the same action, violently tearing it apart!
"Aaaaahhhh!"
Memaro screamed in pain while more bone spikes crazily erupted from all over his body, his chest, shoulders, back, and elsewhere!
"Go scream!"
Third claw! Fourth claw!
Shinichi's hands directly seized the rapidly proliferating bones across Memaro's chest. Wind chakra burst from his fingertips as he tore viciously outward with overwhelming brutality!
Riiip!!!
Bones shattered, and flesh split apart!
Countless bone fragments and sprays of blood were scattered everywhere within the violent wind generated by the claw strikes!
Then, the fifth claw, the sixth claw, and the seventh claw!
Each claw in Shinichi's hands came faster than the last. Every strike precisely tore apart newly formed bone blades, leaving horrifying claw wounds deep enough to expose bone across Memaro's body!
Blood splattered like spilled ink across the ground around the two of them.
The scene was bloody and bizarre, mad and tragic!
After seven consecutive claws, Memaro was already covered in wounds.
The speed of his newly generated bones had fallen far behind the rate at which they were being destroyed, and his movements became incredibly sluggish and weak.
Meanwhile, during this series of violent collisions, the two figures had moved once again, and they unknowingly returned to the edge of the main battlefield where the Konoha ninja and Kaguya Clansmen were fighting.
Then, under the shocked, horrified, and even dumbfounded gazes of both the Konoha ninja and Kaguya Clansmen, the muscles in Shinichi's arms suddenly bulged violently, veins pulsing like coiling dragons, actually bursting apart his sleeves!
Both his hands shot forward, fingers clamping onto Memaro Kaguya's head like iron pincers!
"And then!"
A flash of crimson passed through Shinichi's eyes.
The fighting spirit and battle intent in his heart reached their peak as the fire nature chakra exploded from both palms!
"Obediently die!!!"
Boom!!!!
Blazing crimson flames erupted from Memaro's head like a volcanic explosion!
The flames instantly swallowed his ruined body. The terrifying heat and shockwave burned away and blasted apart every bone around him!
Severed limbs, bone fragments, flames… they scattered violently outward from the center of the explosion.
Memaro Kaguya, this Village Hidden in the Mist powerhouse famed for madness and bloodlust, ultimately transformed into charred fragments and drifting sparks upon this foreign beach.
The flames dyed half the dawn sky red and illuminated every frozen face upon the beach.
Ashes drifted down like bloody rain upon the bloodstained sands.
Only the proud figure standing at the center slowly lowered his stance as the flowing winds around him gradually calmed, leaving only the sound of ocean tides crashing endlessly against the shore.
'Ah, I overdid it.'
Shinichi slowly withdrew his stance. On the surface, his expression remained calm and indifferent, but inwardly, he was quietly regretting it.
Memaro Kaguya's body should have been an excellent research material, containing traces of the Otsutsuki Clan's mysteries.
Yet during the battle just now, because the fighting spirit and killing intent in his heart had been completely ignited by his opponent's madness, they had surged dramatically.
Although the One Against Ten Thousand talent could convert that boiling emotion into a substantial increase in combat power, it also inevitably caused him, in that state of extreme exhilaration, to fail to hold back for a moment and directly destroy both the opponent and the corpse together.
"Looks like I'll have to pay a bit more attention in the future."
However, after another thought, Shinichi felt it did not really matter.
There were still a large number of Kaguya Clansmen on this battlefield, and their corpses also possessed research value.
After all, aside from Kimimaro from the original timeline, who was either a mutant or an exception among the Corpse Bone Chain users, the Kekkei Genkai abilities of the other Kaguya Clansmen were generally within the same category.
