Dead silence.
A cold wind whistled through the forest.
The broken blade on the ground reflected an eerie light.
This strange scene,
Remained frozen at this moment of Hidan's swing.
The most embarrassing thing in the Shinobi World,
Is when you are confident you want to kill someone, only to be killed instead.
And even more embarrassing than this situation is,
Having completely seized the initiative, and then the damn blade shatters!!
This...
Hidan's pupils contracted sharply, his mind going blank.
In fact,
The scythe in his hand was specially made for performing the curse ritual.
And the curse ritual required someone else's blood.
Therefore,
His scythe was deliberately sharpened to the extreme.
In order to accurately cut through the opponent's clothes and skin the moment it touched them, thereby taking their blood.
Thus,
The blade might not necessarily be hard,
But,
It would definitely be sharp enough!
Just like when facing Deidara earlier,
Although it barely grazed him, it still cut a wound.
But now...
Sharp, my ass!!
Not only did it not cut this guy's skin, it even... shattered directly!
This unprecedented situation naturally made Hidan unable to accept it.
He stared at the broken scythe in his hand,
As if seeing a ghost.
And at this moment.
Seeing that extremely strange scene just now, Deidara on the ground couldn't help but shudder, then gasped.
Hiss...
That kind of terrifying slash, and Kyo-senpai's still completely unharmed?
What the hell...
Is his body harder than steel???
Deidara was horrified in his heart,
But,
Thinking about it, he began to recall...
From the very first meeting,
Kyo's body did indeed seem to possess extraordinary defensive abilities far beyond normal people.
Just like back in Iwagakure,
Deidara's bombs were so fierce, yet they never brought a single scratch to Kyo...
Thinking about it this way,
It made sense that he directly shattered this blade...
As he thought,
Deidara still couldn't help but swallow nervously.
And at this moment,
Over there, Kyo glanced at the broken scythe, then raised his eyes to look at Hidan ahead, raised an eyebrow and chuckled lightly:
"Is this a toy?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
As the words fell,
Instantly, the forest seemed even quieter.
Not only Hidan, but even Deidara and Zetsu beside him,
After hearing this, couldn't help but freeze, then their blood pressure soared.
A toy?
What the hell...
Such a sharp blade... was called a toy???
"..."
Just as the three were dumbfounded,
Kyo raised one hand, looked at Hidan, and said casually:
"Now,"
"It should be my turn."
As he spoke,
A crimson light full of oppressive feeling began to appear on his palm!
"--!?"
However,
The moment they saw this light appear,
The first person to change expression drastically was not Hidan, but Deidara lying on the ground!
He suddenly panicked and quickly spoke up:
"W-wait a minute, senpai!!!"
"Don't act rashly!! The damage he receives now will be transferred to me!!"
Deidara said quickly, cold sweat pouring down.
He was afraid that if he spoke too slowly, Kyo would directly kill Hidan...
In that case,
He would be buried with him!
However,
Hearing this,
Kyo just glanced over and said flatly:
"That's not transfer, it's just damage sharing."
"However, because of this guy's ability, it looks like he's not injured."
"Moreover,"
"I didn't say I was going to attack directly."
The moment the words fell,
Before anyone could react, Kyo suddenly, without another word, simply snapped his fingers.
"Snap."
"Bakudo #9: Horin."
Whoosh!
The moment the finger snap sounded,
In front of his arm, countless brilliant golden light rays suddenly appeared!
Then, they violently burst forth from Kyo's palm!!
The next moment, all the golden light rays instantly began to intertwine and weave, forming something like a giant net, instantly charging towards Hidan ahead!
"!?"
Seeing this, Hidan was momentarily stunned.
Huh???
Just directly attacking now?!?!
And,
What's with these strange light rays?!
A completely unseen Ninjutsu, hey!
Could it be some kind of Light Release???
Realizing this, Hidan instinctively wanted to dodge!
However,
That extreme speed, almost surpassing lightning, made it impossible for him to react!
He had just lifted his right foot, and before it could land, he instantly felt a strange impact force!
Whoosh!!
That golden light net touched his body in an instant!
Then, the light quickly expanded, wrapping around his limbs and torso, completely binding his entire body.
In an instant, directly sealed!!
Hidan's pupils suddenly contracted. He tried to escape, but also found that it was already too late!
On the light, a powerful oppressive feeling completely suppressed his body!
Even if he wanted to break free, it was useless!
And at this moment,
Kyo, without even looking, gently pushed.
"?!"
Hidan's body, as if pulled by the light, flew directly backward!!
Instantly,
He was out of the range of the curse ritual array beneath his feet!!
And his body directly hit the big tree behind him, tightly pressed against the trunk!
Bang!!
A dull impact sound sounded, and a few leaves drifted down.
In just a few seconds,
He was directly sealed to the tree by the light rope!
???
Locked... locked up?!?!
Realizing this,
Hidan was directly dumbfounded, his mind full of question marks!!
?????
Wh-what's going on?!?!
Not an attack!?
But... a sealing technique???!
Wait!
No... no way!!
Why is there a sealing technique that releases this fast and completely doesn't need hand seals???!!
Looking at Kyo ahead,
Hidan's heart was instantly filled with bewilderment.
You know,
He, possessing the curse of Jashin, although having true immortality,
Only feared one kind of power...
That was sealing techniques!
Because sealing doesn't harm him, but it permanently stops all his actions!
Therefore, even his curse damage reflection, in this situation, could not play any role, and he could only passively be trapped!
Hidan's expression froze,
He only then realized the meaning of Kyo's words just now...
And at this moment,
Deidara and Zetsu on this side were also frozen.
Hmm...?
Th-this is over just like that???
The enemy who was so troublesome just now... was solved like this???
Just by lightly snapping his fingers, he actually... released such a powerful sealing technique??!!
Zetsu on the tree was naturally somewhat dumbfounded.
And Deidara on the ground couldn't help but gasp again, shocked beyond words.
"Hiss..."
"Co...could it be,"
"This is the power of Kyo-senpai's True Eye of the King that Zetsu mentioned before..."
