Kaguya Raido suddenly stopped. Standing on the ruined street. His face hideous yet joyful.
Just across the road ahead, the Boar-Bear—now over two meters tall—stood there.
A long, narrow shadow enveloped Kaguya Raido. Cold killing intent permeated the surroundings.
"So you're that monster capable of using bones?"
Kaguya Raido revealed a savage smile.
The bones on his body continuously changed. Enveloping his entire body like armor. A bone tail grew from his back.
He looked like a bipedal, white-boned fierce beast. Ready to launch an attack at any moment.
"The Kaguya clan? As expected. A bunch of brutes."
The Boar-Bear spoke coldly.
Fine white bones extended from its body. Covering all its skin and fur like a membrane.
The Boar-Bear instantly transformed into a white fierce beast. Reaching out, two giant white axes formed.
The next moment, both sides moved simultaneously.
Two white blurs instantly collided. A terrifying air wave erupted. A loud crash rang out.
BANG.
Kaguya Raido's eyes widened. His face hideous as he exerted all his strength without holding anything back.
But he couldn't advance a single inch. Because a tyrannical, unyielding force came from the opposite side.
In fact, because the opponent's size was larger, it even suppressed him to a certain extent.
"This is the first time I've seen... someone block my attack with their physical body..."
Kaguya Raido squeezed the words through his teeth.
The Boar-Bear's left arm was covered in layers of white bone. Forming a shield shaped like a squid's head that blocked Kaguya Raido's drill spear.
"Then it seems your experience is truly shallow."
The Boar-Bear spoke with a cold, disdainful face.
The hideous Kaguya Raido didn't retort. But the drill spear in his hand suddenly changed.
The bone drill suddenly began to spin. Faster and faster. Emitting a piercing sound.
It even sparked rings of fire. Yet only left a tiny mark on the squid-head shield.
This effect made even Kaguya Raido reveal a hint of astonishment. It was the first time his attack hadn't caused piercing damage.
"How... did you do that?"
It wasn't surprising that Kaguya Raido was astonished internally. Both were bone abilities. And the opponent's chakra was weaker than his. How could it be stronger than his?
The Boar-Bear's chakra quantity was massive. But its quality was average. The enhancement effect on its body was far weaker than Kaguya Raido's.
Under these circumstances, it was purely a difference in bone hardness.
Their physical strength was similar. One had massive chakra, the other had higher-quality chakra. Both possessed beast-like combat instincts.
The battle entered a war of attrition. But the Boar-Bear could form stronger bones. Giving it the upper hand in defense.
In terms of offense, it also made up for the gap in chakra quality.
Not just the Boar-Bear—almost all the beast soldiers were extremely tyrannical in defense. With the enhancement of chakra, they were far stronger than the flesh and blood bodies of these ninjas combined with chakra.
The Hidden Mist Village ninjas secretly following them watched this scene in disbelief.
"What a fierce battle. It's my first time seeing someone fight so fiercely against the Kaguya clan in close combat."
"Why does it look like... the Kaguya clan is losing?"
One of them stared dumbfounded at the battle in the city.
"What strong close-combat ability. To actually be able to suppress the Kaguya clan?"
Another person observing the distance suddenly noticed something. He spoke in astonishment.
"The situation is a bit bad. Kaguya Raido seems to be losing?"
The others were greatly shocked. They hurriedly looked over. Only to see a scene they couldn't believe.
The giant white bear-like monster grabbed Kaguya Raido. Thread-like white hairs pierced into his body.
Surging chakra flowed from Kaguya Raido's body. Traveling along the white hairs into the Boar-Bear's body. Where it was devoured and absorbed.
Kaguya Raido's eyes rolled back. His face, bleeding from the seven orifices, gradually shriveled up. His entire person rapidly turned into a dried corpse.
The bones, having lost chakra, began to decay and flake off piece by piece.
The strength of the Boar-Bear's entire skeleton skyrocketed. The intensity of its surging chakra clearly reached a higher level.
More information deepened and enhanced its bone abilities. Elevating the breadth, scope, and depth of the entire ability.
Various changes caused the Boar-Bear to roar directly at the sky.
"ROAR—"
The beast's instinctual will began to deeply permeate its chakra. Elevating its quality.
That naked, fierce beast will, transformed through chakra, became a brutal aura targeting instinct.
The several Hidden Mist Village ninjas observing from a large tree outside the city instantly stiffened. Breaking out in a cold sweat.
"What a brutal feeling."
"Why do I... feel like that monster became much stronger after eating the Kaguya Clan Head..."
"No way? How could it have such an ability?"
The hearts of the three tightened. They exchanged a glance. Although they found it somewhat hard to believe, as qualified ninjas, they had already formed a judgment.
This made their hearts sink. They spoke without hesitation.
"We must bring this intelligence back."
Having reached a unanimous decision, the three immediately arranged their tasks.
Two ninjas quickly returned. The remaining one distanced himself from the area. Preparing to track its direction from afar instead of gathering intelligence up close.
On the other side of the city, in the shadows, Orochimaru's eyes shone brightly as he watched the chimeric soldiers and the Kaguya clan.
"What wonderful bodies. I didn't expect that old guy to hide such a trick."
Orochimaru couldn't help but whisper.
He saw all the changes in those beast soldiers. As they killed and absorbed those Kaguya clan ninjas, they more or less gained bone enhancements—or even awakened abilities.
Ryomen Sukuna, hiding nearby with a straight face, stared at these chimeric soldiers. Feeling somewhat annoyed but also relieved internally.
Because he had also considered whether to take a similar route. Making high-quality external cells and flesh tissue into parts rather than food and nourishment.
But ultimately, because he couldn't solve the problem of bloat caused by an infinite number of parts, he chose another, more concise path.
Old thing. Did you calculate this long ago? Then I want to see how you solved it.
Sukuna frowned deeply. Without wasting words, he immediately attacked.
Bringing two fingers together, a buzzing sound instantly rang out.
BOOM.
A beast soldier and a Kaguya clan ninja currently engaged in battle instantly stiffened in place.
A section of the wall behind them was directly severed and collapsed. Smashing onto the ground.
The force of the vibration misaligned the house behind it. Severed right near the ground, the entire house slid to the side.
At this time, the beast soldier and the Kaguya clan ninja were cut in half at the waist. They crashed to the ground.
A gust of wind swept by. Directly pulling the two corpses back and dropping them beside Orochimaru.
"Store them."
Orochimaru took out a sealing scroll while speaking with a fake smile.
"Sukuna-kun. Just these two aren't enough for our research."
Sukuna didn't waste words. Instantly slicing through several beast soldiers on the other side.
Orochimaru, holding the sealing scroll, followed closely behind. Collecting fifty or sixty beast soldiers and Kaguya clan ninjas in a short time.
But right at this moment, a crisp sound rang out.
