Three sides attacking, airtight.
Kurogaya’s breathing was rapid, and he looked nervously at Haruki. The toxins were gradually invading his chakra pathways, making it difficult for him to even support his upper body.
Sakikawa lay beside Kurogaya. Like Kurogaya, he stared intently at Haruki, who was fighting the Sunagakure puppeteer in front of them.
Suzaku’s vision was completely dark, he couldn’t see anything, but he could roughly judge the situation through the sounds.
The mercury, like ocean waves, began to surge again as Haruki raised his hand.
Haruki’s thought moved. The mercury instantly came alive. They moved as flexibly as if given life.
Some mercury surged rapidly from Haruki’s feet, enveloping him within a sphere formed of mercury.
All the thousands of needles were intercepted by the mercury.
And some mercury, like silver venomous snakes, suddenly shot up from the ground and air, precisely meeting the low-flying puppets.
The mercury spikes fiercely stabbed into the joints of the diving chainsaw puppet.
The mercury sphere enveloping Haruki opened a window in front of him. Cursed Energy surged in Haruki’s hand.
A huge ice cone descended from the sky, pinning the puppet firmly to the ground.
Haruki’s figure, enveloped by mercury, flashed past. When he reappeared, the sword in his hand was already unsheathed.
His gaze focused on the puppet. An invisible mark instantly and forcibly divided the puppet’s chest and abdomen into a 7:3 weak point.
A cracking sound. It was grating to the teeth.
The puppet, made of refined steel and Chakra-conducting metal, seemed to be struck at its weakest point by an invisible giant hammer, instantly twisting and shattering.
Haruki quickly ran towards Akasuna. He didn’t know how many puppets Akasuna had, so it was better to finish the fight quickly.
Akasuna looked at the approaching young man, raised his hands, and a scroll unfurled in the air.
White smoke filled the air, and countless puppets emerged from the scroll.
[System detected Akasuna’s killing intent value +5000]
[Your Cursed Spirit Sukuna’s rank has increased to 52.6%.]
Puppets covered the sky and charged towards Haruki. Haruki’s figure was swallowed by countless puppets.
Kurogaya desperately tried to stand up, but his weak body was completely out of his control.
His vision went black. His overly excited emotions accelerated the spread of the toxins, and he lost consciousness.
Akasuna’s lips curled into a sinister smile. The space behind Akasuna suddenly twisted and tore violently without warning. An intensely suffocating ominous aura rapidly permeated the air.
Black mist condensed behind Akasuna. A grotesque giant claw, covered in twisted bone armor with razor-sharp nails, suddenly reached out.
Akasuna’s pupils sharply contracted. He looked back, and accompanied by an inhuman shriek, Rika’s massive, distorted figure fully appeared in the black mist.
Violent Cursed Energy stirred up a storm. Rika’s huge body, covered in bone spikes, enveloped Akasuna, and she let out a piercing roar at Akasuna.
Rika’s huge bone claw, carrying the terrifying power to tear space, fiercely grabbed at the two puppets blocking her and Akasuna.
Rika, whose rank had already risen to 63%, had become greatly stronger. The puppets in her hands were like two paper toys, crushed into pieces.
’What is this thing?’Akasuna’s mind was greatly shaken.
Puppet fragments splattered, scratching his cheek.
He raised his left hand, and five puppets immediately blocked him, resisting Rika who was grabbing at him.
Akasuna’s right hand controlled puppets to deal with Haruki, and his left hand controlled puppets to deal with Rika.
Even he, powerful as he was, was drenched in cold sweat on his back.
A high-pressure blood arrow, moving too fast for the naked eye to catch, shot out from another direction with sniper-like precision.
The blood arrow penetrated Akasuna’s chest without any obstruction. Akasuna’s pupils contracted, and Chakra threads broke from his fingertips.
He slowly lowered his head, looking at the bloody hole in his chest, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Ten meters away from Akasuna, on a tree branch, Choso’s figure quietly appeared. He maintained the posture of extending his finger forward, with a dark red blood glow remaining on his fingertip.
With the Chakra threads severed, the puppets surrounding Haruki collapsed limply to the ground, as if their bones had been removed.
The battlefield, which had been filled with various sounds just a moment ago, now fell into absolute silence.
Rika’s massive body dispersed into black smoke, condensing behind Haruki. She followed Haruki step by step, making a sticky sound from her mouth full of sharp teeth.
"I miss Yuta so much..."
Haruki nodded. "Mm-hmm, I miss you too."
Rika’s giant claws twisted together, and she shyly swayed her body.
"Yuta... is so good..."
Haruki responded to Rika while coming to Akasuna’s side.
Akasuna was kneeling, blood still gushing from the hole in his chest.
Haruki half-squatted in front of Akasuna, examining Akasuna’s red hair and familiar face.
’Why does he look so much like Sasori?’ Haruki wondered in his mind.
[Host, why don’t you guess yourself?]
He almost forgot that Sasori also had a father and mother.
Could this person in front of him be Sasori’s father?
That would be quite a coincidence. He would become Sasori’s father’s killer.
Haruki’s gaze shifted for a moment. Suzaku and the others were deeply poisoned and had lost consciousness.
Choso came in front of Haruki, tears welling up in his eyes, and reached out to Haruki.
Before Choso could embrace Haruki, a purple vortex swallowed his figure.
Haruki’s lips twitched, and he let out a sigh of relief. ’You think you’re Rika.’
Rika was a girl, so he was happy to coax her.
Choso was a grown man, crying like that, he should quickly go somewhere cool and stay there.
Rika floated around Haruki, constantly trying to make her presence known.
Haruki stared at Akasuna’s corpse, a bold idea forming in his mind.
"Sasori, I killed your father, so I’ll give you a new father."
Haruki extended his hands. "Come out! Kenjaku!"
A purple vortex appeared beside Haruki.
A brain appeared in front of Haruki.
That’s right, just a brain.
The brain also had a mouth.
Haruki rubbed the goosebumps that had risen on his arms.
He almost forced himself to watch Kenjaku lift Akasuna’s skull and enter Akasuna’s brain.
Akasuna opened his eyes, a non-human, disgusting smile appearing on his face.
Haruki stared at Akasuna’s forehead, where a suture line was hidden by Akasuna’s red bangs.
’Akasuna’ extended his hands, feeling his new body.
"What do you want me to do for you?"
’Akasuna’s’ lips stretched to his ears, his pupils excitedly contracting into two dots.
Even more disturbing!
