The violent chakra shockwave swept outwards like a tsunami!
The mud from the Yellow Springs Swamp was blasted dozens of meters into the air, raining down like a black storm!
A huge crater was blown open in the ground, and the low wall at the edge collapsed with a roar!
The terrifying impact sent Naruto flying through the air!
Sasuke reacted quickly, using a Body Flicker Technique to rush over and narrowly catch the flying Naruto.
The two were pushed backward by the aftershock for more than ten meters before finally coming to a stop, leaving a deep ditch in the ground.
"Cough cough... It... It was a success?"
Naruto coughed violently, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth.
The recoil from that impact also caused him some internal injuries.
He struggled to his feet and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
His azure eyes were fixed on the lingering smoke and dust at the epicenter of the explosion, and the rain of mud falling from the sky.
Sasuke's Sharingan spun wildly, its crimson light seeming to burn, piercing through the chaotic energy currents and smoke: "I think... no!"
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!..."
They sprouted like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, but their voices were a hundred times sharper and more terrifying!
Countless thick, sharp, pale white bone spurs, like giant spears.
Without warning, from the spot where Naruto and Sasuke had just stood, and from the ground within a radius of several meters around them.
It burst forth wildly, like a forest of death!
Each bone spur is several meters long, extremely sharp, and carries a chilling killing intent that can pierce through everything!
They appeared too quickly and covered too wide an area!
Sasuke's pupils contracted sharply as his Sharingan detected the frenzied surge of chakra underground!
He didn't have time to think; he reacted almost instinctively.
He suddenly kicked Naruto in the butt!
Caught off guard, Naruto was sent flying like a ball by Sasuke's chakra-infused kick.
He fell awkwardly into a pile of rubble some distance away.
Chapter 187 Madara: Minato, did you say anything before?
At the very moment Naruto was kicked away!
"Puff! Puff! Puff!"
Countless sharp bone spikes, like the fangs of hell, instantly pierced the spot where Sasuke had just stood and all the footholds around him!
Densely packed, like a white hell of thorns!
Several of the bone spurs grazed Sasuke's clothes as he dodged!
Sasuke relied on his Sharingan's predictive abilities and his lightning-fast reaction speed.
As the bone spur forest erupted, his body transformed into a blur and retreated rapidly.
They narrowly escaped being skewered like meat, but were forced to stay away from the epicenter of the explosion.
Naruto climbed out of the pile of rubble, clutching his burning backside.
But when he saw that the spot where he had just been standing was completely covered by a hideous and terrifying jungle of bone spurs.
A chill instantly shot from the soles of my feet to the top of my head, and cold sweat instantly soaked my back!
Naruto looked at Sasuke with a complicated expression.
If it weren't for Sasuke's kick, I'd probably be dead by now!
Those bone spurs are so penetrating, they could definitely turn him into a sieve!
Sasuke did not respond to Naruto. His Sharingan was fixed on the slowly dissipating smoke and dust at the center of the explosion, his expression extremely solemn.
In the smoke and dust, the outline of a twisted, inhuman figure gradually became clear.
"Cough cough..."
A deep, hoarse voice, carrying a kind of inhuman echo, broke the deathly silence.
"You guys... are really amazing..."
Kimimaro's voice seemed to carry a hint of... strange satisfaction?
"It's been a long time... a long time since anyone has forced me... to use this power..."
The smoke and dust completely dissipated.
The sight that came into Naruto and Sasuke's view made them gasp in shock!
The Kimimaro before me has completely departed from human form!
His entire body was covered with a layer of keratinous skin that resembled black metal and had an eerie sheen.
His muscles were bulging and bulging, exuding an explosive sense of power.
His once handsome face became ferocious and terrifying, with high cheekbones and everted lips revealing sharp fangs.
A thick, long tail covered in black scales and ending with a bone hammer.
It thrashed restlessly behind him, whipping through the air with a whooshing sound.
What's most unsettling is what's behind him!
Four enormous, pale bone spikes, like battering rams.
They stretched out menacingly, like the wings of a demon!
The tips of the bone spurs gleamed with a chilling light!
A terrifying chakra, far surpassing anything before, was violent, chaotic, and filled with primal bestiality and the aura of death.
Like a tangible black flame, it rose from his mutated body, distorting the surrounding air!
Cursed Seal State Two!
The power of Orochimaru's supreme masterpiece is now fully unleashed!
Kimimaro's gray-green eyes, now completely transformed into the vertical pupils of a reptile, were fixed on Sasuke.
The voice was like sandpaper rubbing: "Do you see that? Uchiha Sasuke... This is the power of the cursed seal... A gift from Lord Orochimaru... This power should... also belong to you! A power powerful enough to allow you to transcend limits!"
Sasuke subconsciously touched his neck, where the powerful sealing technique his brother had personally applied was still faintly burning...
It suppressed the Heavenly Curse Seal left by Orochimaru.
He looked at Kimimaro, who resembled a demon from hell, with no trace of envy in his eyes, only cold disgust and resolute indignation.
Sasuke's voice was resolute and full of disdain: "I don't need that kind of inhuman, ghost-like power! I certainly don't need to rely on that disgusting guy's charity!"
"Yeah……"
A cold regret and a deeper killing intent flashed in Kimimaro's vertical pupils: "That's truly... a pity. Since that's the case... then let me use the power of this 'gift' to... offer you to Lord Orochimaru!"
A terrifying burst of black chakra erupted!
The ground beneath Kimimaro's feet cracked inch by inch!
The four enormous bone spikes on his back slowly rose, like four death spears pointing to the sky!
The battle has entered a more brutal and desperate phase!
Meanwhile, within the sealed space...
The intense fluctuations of the battle outside could be faintly felt, and Minato's phantom appeared somewhat worried, his brows furrowed slightly.
The nine-tailed beast's enormous eyes were also fixed on Kimimaro's terrifying cursed seal state two form, and a low growl came from its throat.
"Madara-san," Minato couldn't help but call out softly.
Madara, who had been resting with his eyes closed on the giant head of the Nine-Tails, slowly opened his deep Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
He glanced at the grotesque bone-spiked monster outside, a cold smile curving his lips, filled with undisguised contempt: "Shikotsumyaku... those bloodline limit idiots from Kirigakure who only know how to kill and self-destruct. Hmph!"
Looking at the two wounded but still tenacious boys outside, Minato asked with concern, "Naruto and the others... are you really not worried?"
Madara's gaze swept over the outside world, past the fighting spirit in Naruto's azure eyes and the resolute determination in Sasuke's crimson Sharingan.
His voice was calm yet carried a hint of certainty: "No need. From the moment we left until now, has there been even the slightest trace of despair in the eyes of those two brats?"
He paused, his tone carrying a condescending assessment: "The flames of battle are still burning. What effect would intervening now have, other than interrupting their transformation and making them dependent?"
After Madara finished speaking, he seemed to remember something, and his scarlet Sharingan turned slightly towards Minato's phantom, with a hint of probing: "Speaking of which, Minato, did you... say anything just now?"
Minato was taken aback, somewhat confused: "What's wrong, Madara-san? I've been paying attention to the outside world."
He thought it was the sound of his own words.
Madara's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly, a hint of doubt flashing in his Eternal Kaleidoscope: "Strange... I think I heard... you talking outside?"
His senses were extremely sharp; he seemed to have just caught a fluctuation that was very similar to the sound of Minato.
But the source doesn't seem to be inside the sealed space, but rather... the outside world?
The Nine-Tails' enormous ears twitched, and it interjected in a deep, muffled voice, "So... I also vaguely felt that the voice of that Corpse Bone Pulse brat outside... seemed somewhat similar to yours, Minato?"
Its enormous, beastly eyes scrutinized Minato.
"Is there...is there any?"
Minato seemed somewhat bewildered by the question, and even his phantom seemed to flicker.
He carefully recalled Kimimaro's cold, hoarse voice, and compared it with his own gentle and clear voice, but found it difficult to find any similarities.
"Is it just my imagination? His voice is so cold and hard..." Minato thought that this was probably just Madara and Kurama's imagination under the tense atmosphere.
"You must have misheard."
Madara didn't press further, but gave Minato a deep look. Then, as if he had lost interest, he closed his Eternal Kaleidoscope again.
It adjusted its posture on the huge, furry head of the nine-tailed fox, as if the earth-shattering battle outside was just another boring farce.
