Chapter 138: Kimimaro's Ultimate Move! Dance of the Early Fern!

In the Afterlife Realm
"So that's how it is! I see now! I've finally figured it out!"
Ishihara was ecstatic. While the absorption rate of spiritual particles had slowed significantly, the number of techniques he could use had increased substantially.
Moreover, he discovered that by mixing Six Paths energy with spiritual power in a specific ratio, he could create an entirely new type of power.
This power could exhibit effects akin to certain rules or principles, a realization that left Ishihara both shocked and thrilled.
For instance, he had already developed a unique attack method by blending Six Paths energy and spiritual power—a gravity domain!
Within this domain, the surrounding space became overwhelmingly heavy, subjecting everyone except himself to about three times normal pressure.
If he continued researching this, it might even be possible to enhance the effect further!
Additionally, he had found traces of other rules and principles, and by pursuing them further, he believed he could create a variety of rule-based powers to disrupt his opponents' combat strategies.
As his research deepened, Ishihara vaguely sensed that the surrounding space seemed to be sealed off. If he wanted to leave this place, he first needed to break this seal before finding a method of escape.
"I wonder how much time has passed in the ninja world. Is everyone doing okay?"
For a moment, Ishihara was lost in thought. The timeless nature of the Afterlife was indeed frustrating.

Around Grass Ninja Village
The great battle around the Grass Ninja Village was nearing its end. At the final moment of the fight, members of the Immortal Organization unleashed various secret techniques.
The ninjas from the Three Great Ninja Villages were repelled one after another, and upon realizing they were no match, they retreated immediately.
For instance, in the Sand Village, after being ravaged by Orochimaru, they lost their desire to seize secret techniques. If they continued to fight, it wasn't just the techniques they'd lose—the Sand Village itself might be erased from the ninja world.
The Stone Village also had its struggles. Initially, Ōnoki had the upper hand.
However, when Kabuto appeared with hostages, Ōnoki became unsettled. Fortunately, he managed to use Dust Release to rescue Kurotsuchi and Akatsuchi in the end.
Immediately afterward, without hesitation, Ōnoki used Earth Release: Ultra-Lightweight Rock Technique to carry himself, Kurotsuchi, and Akatsuchi away.
Unfortunately, Suigetsu and Kabuto lacked any aerial combat methods and were unable to pursue them further.
After driving off Ōnoki, they encountered Karin. With her sensory abilities, they began heading toward Haku's location.
They were determined to rescue Haku and bring him back!

Elsewhere, the Fourth Raikage was being thoroughly suppressed by Jūgo.
His speed was ineffective, and his strength was inferior to Jūgo's. He was completely countered.
If it weren't for his Lightning Armor, he might have been defeated long ago.
Panting heavily, the Fourth Raikage stared at the man before him.
He hadn't expected everyone associated with Ishihara to be so overwhelmingly strong.
He wanted to contact Killer Bee to retreat, but in the chaos of the battle, Killer Bee had disappeared without a trace.
---
At this moment, Killer Bee was not faring well either. Completely suppressed, he finally decided to use his last resort—complete Tailed Beast Transformation!
With a roar, Killer Bee's body began to swell continuously.
With a loud bang, a massive cloud of white smoke enveloped the area, and the enormous Eight-Tails appeared before Kimimaro!
Kimimaro had his own techniques for dealing with such colossal opponents. Closing his eyes briefly, he suddenly opened them and roared:
"Shikotsumyaku: Dance of the Early Fern!"
With Kimimaro's shout, countless massive bone spikes erupted from the ground.
Due to the Eight-Tails' enormous size, Killer Bee couldn't avoid the attacks in time.
In mere moments, Killer Bee reverted from his Tailed Beast form and collapsed unconscious.
Kimimaro stepped forward, prepared to deliver the final blow.
But just as he was about to act, a masked man suddenly appeared and took Killer Bee away!
It was Tobi!
Without a word, Tobi took the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki and vanished.
"Stop!"
Kimimaro roared, but Tobi didn't even glance back, leaving his attacks to hit nothing but air.
"That guy, Tobi!"
Kimimaro hadn't expected someone to be lurking nearby, and it infuriated him.
Especially since his opponent was the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki, and the Akatsuki's target was the Tailed Beasts. They were natural enemies.
Just as Kimimaro contemplated his next move, a man appeared before him—it was an Akatsuki member, Hidan!
"Yare yare, your opponent is me!"
---
Meanwhile, the Fourth Raikage, feeling an ominous premonition, left to find Killer Bee.
Jūgo wanted to pursue him, but halfway through, he was intercepted by a man with five hearts—Kakuzu!
Not only Jūgo, but the other members of the Immortal Organization were also blocked by various Akatsuki members.
