Chapter 78.3- One Thousand Hands

They formed so close together that it was almost impossible to tell which formed first. Of course, I knew it was the one in my left hand.. May chakra control in that part of my body was just slightly better. They announced themselves with a whirring sound that got louder as they grew bigger and bigger.

“Cho Odama Rasenchuriken” I decreed to both gods and man as I tossed the first one— the one in my left, and then a second later the right. Aiming both straight ahead. The first tore through the gates of Iwa, not even losing any speed as it did so. The second slipped through the opening it created.

“Fuck me” I heard Uzume whisper when I clenched my fist and forced the both of them to expand, the explosions so massive that we could see them from here.

“Let’s go. The Raikage is mine” I said, having no doubts that he had survived that. I body flickered forward, and then began to run. The wall presented no resistance. I just ran straight through it, feeling like the juggernaut and smiling through my teeth as I did so. Of course, as I jumped in, it was to find a fist aimed straight at my face.

‘He’s fast’, I thought as I barely managed to duck underneath the attack. My return blow to his kidney felt like punching steel. There was no give. Nothing. And then my head was near taken off as his elbow came straight for me. I backpedaled, breaking through the wall again as I felt my army jump into the city, passing me by. Good. I was here for this man.

“You’ll die for that” I heard hum grunt.

“What? Did I kill someone you liked?” I asked as his next punch sailed past my head. I kneed him in the chest. Once again, unbent, unbroken. His fighting style was trippy, I noticed. Adapting to it would take some time because he didn’t fight like anyone else did. He didn’t fight with the same instincts the rest of us did. He’d either beaten them out of himself or just never had them. I danced backwards to avoid a grasping blow, and with a flick of my wrist shot two shuriken at his eyes.

Even that instinct he’d beaten off. He didn’t attempt to defend it, allowing them to fail against his lightning armour like everything else did. There was a flicker of space next to me, and Uzume was there, attempting to slice through his armour with her wind enhanced gunbai. She’d forced the both of us to advance our wind release to their theoretical peaks, and even then the gunbai cracked against the Raikage’s armour, not making any headway. I grabbed her and body flickered backwards in a straight line.
