End of Chapter 178
"So fast!"
Beirukhu's eyes widened.
He inherited Fugaku Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan, which allows him to see and predict events that will happen three seconds into the future, and to deduce the future.
Furthermore, with Hiruko's various bloodline limits, no matter how the enemy's attack comes, he can find the optimal solution through the combination of his own abilities.
This is undoubtedly a very powerful ability, and one that is very well suited to him.
But Hiruko never considered one question.
That is, seeing is not the same as being able to deal with it. Just like when Lee attacks Sasuke, even if Sasuke sees the trajectory of Lee's attack, his body still can't react in time.
In his case, seeing becomes knowing, and the body's reaction becomes a combination of its own abilities.
What should one do when one's eyes foresee the future but one's own abilities are insufficient to cope with it?
Just like now, Hiruko had clearly seen Akali rushing in through his premonition, but in his calculations, no matter how he dealt with it, he would eventually be struck by Akali's giant scythe!
"How is this possible?" Seeing such a future, Hiruko could not believe it.
Because that sense of oppression, that sense of despair, was exactly like how he used to be when he faced the Sannin when he was just an ordinary person!
"But I'm already close to perfection. I'm not the same person I used to be. I just need to devour that disdainful look from the main family, and then I can ascend to godhood!"
Hiruko roared inwardly, "I absolutely refuse to accept this kind of future!"
With a roar in his heart, a series of bloody tears flowed from Hiruko's eyes and dripped onto the scorching sand. A sharp pain came from Hiruko's left eye, making him think that his left eye was about to explode.
And the results of such exploitation are naturally excellent.
By relentlessly exploiting the Kaleidoscope, Hiruko finally found a solution to Akali's attack!
"Splash splash splash—"
From the initial skeleton of Susanoo maintained by Hiruko, a dense network of flesh and blood spread out like a spider web.
Enveloped by these newly grown chakra, flesh, and meridians, the initial skeletal skeleton of Susanoo rapidly transformed into a black giant with flesh and blood, but without a lower body.
A jet-black giant appeared and protected Hiruko.
But this is not the end. Because Hiruko lacked a Mangekyou Sharingan and was not a Mangekyou Sharingan user from the Uchiha clan, his Susanoo was inherently limited and could only be activated to this extent.
Therefore, Hiruko's use of Susanoo's second stage was not for defense.
After unleashing the second stage of Susanoo, Hiruko controlled Susanoo and formed hand seals.
He was going to learn a famous defensive ninjutsu...
"Wood Release·Wooden Spindle Wall!"
"Da da da da da—"
As Susanoo's chakra surged forth like a spring, a large amount of wood sprang up from the ground like bamboo shoots after a rain, forming a sturdy cone-shaped wooden shield in front of Susanoo, as solid as a tank!
The shape, which is low in the front and high in the back, allows the wooden walls to deflect incoming attacks, much like the sloped armor of a tank.
The same applies to slashing attacks!
"Boom—"
Akali's double-edged sword crashed headlong into Hiruko's wooden wall. The tilted angle of the wall sent Akali flying into the air, exposing her back to Hiruko.
Then the giant Susanoo made a grasping motion with both hands, and a long, black staff appeared in mid-air and was held in its grasp.
Susanoo swung its giant club and struck Akali, who had nowhere to land in the sky.
With no other option, Akali performed a somersault against inertia, firing a shuriken at Susanoo while using the momentum to fly away from the giant club.
But since Biluhu could foresee it, Akali's trajectory was naturally already within his expectations.
Ignoring Akali's harmless shuriken, Hiruko precisely controlled Susanoo to adjust the trajectory of the giant staff, finally catching up with Akali just before she hit the ground!
"Oh!"
The massive club, as heavy as Mount Tai, slammed down on Akali. Even with her shield activated, she was still slammed into the sand like a kite with a broken string.
"Boom—"
The quicksand exploded like fireworks, revealing a huge crater.
Akali lay face down in the sand at the bottom of the pit, motionless, looking like she had been seriously injured.
But Hiruko wouldn't be fooled by Akali's appearance.
He didn't believe that Akali, such a sharp-tongued genius of Konoha, could be defeated by just one blow.
Susanoo then raised its giant club once more, and after charging up, slammed it down heavily on Akali in the pit. The heavy club tore through the air, emitting a piercing shriek.
However, as he swung the giant club, Hiruko's expression changed drastically!
Because in his three-second vision of the future, he had already seen Akali disappear!
And where Akali reappears after disappearing is...
As predicted, Akali suddenly appeared in front of him, taking advantage of the shuriken mark that Hayabusa had just shot!
"In front of me!?"
[Ding! Hiruko's emotional value +9999!]
Hiruko hurriedly manipulated Susanoo's staff to change direction, turning the pit where Akali was lying into the land in front of him.
Then, as expected, Akali appeared in front of him.
"Hahahahahaha!"
A maniacal laugh echoed wildly within Hiruko's skull.
"Forbidden Technique: Instant Shadow Killing Formation!"
Akali, who was beneath the giant club, suddenly vanished as a shadow, transforming into a group of shadow Akalis who tightly surrounded Biluhu!
"Gulp!" Looking at the shadowy Akalis around him, Hiruko swallowed hard.
Because in his future vision, this group of shadow Akalis used all sorts of moves on him, each one so threatening, and so...it was making his head explode!
"Can't even handle this?" Anticipating Hiruko's thoughts, Akali's true form, lurking in the shadows, teased, "You'll have to bear with it, because this is just the beginning..."
"Where to?" Akali's voice rang in Biljuk's ears.
With surgical precision, the two-stage, chaotic slash severed half of Susanoo's waist and abdomen, leaving a trail of dazzling black aurora.
Hiruko ignored Akali's attack.
Because among the subsequent attacks, Akali's own attacks were probably the gentlest and most harmless.
After Akali's main body, the other shadow Akalis all attacked at once.
The techniques of Double-Edged Sword, Demon Slash, Cold Shadow, and Cherry Blossom Slash are dazzling, even employing psychic power and Tibbers.
At this moment, all the skills Akali possessed were unleashed by the Shadow Akalis, who hurled them at Hiruko.
Faced with so many attacks and ninjutsu, Hiruko deactivated her Mangekyou Sharingan's precognitive abilities.
Closing the foresight is the optimal solution derived from his foresight.
Because Akali's attacks are too numerous and chaotic, if every shadow Akali's movements and attacks had to be predicted, Hiruko's head would probably explode.
Knowing that he could withstand Akali's attacks on his own, Hiruko chose to take the hits himself.
And he can indeed withstand the attacks of the Shadow Akalis.
Seconds later, the shadow Akalis, having exhausted all their energy, vanished into thin air.
Akali, who had only watched the shadow Akalis attack from beginning to end, stopped playing with kunai and exclaimed, "It's over!"
As Akali spoke, Hiruko, whose future vision had been reactivated after the Shadow Akalis' attack ended, revealed a look of despair: "No, how is this possible? Why is this happening?"
Akali knew why Hiruko was in despair.
Because he had already seen what it would be like for him to be blown up by the Soul-Destroying Seal three seconds later.
This was something Akali suddenly thought of after activating her Celestial Mode.
She may not be poisonous, but surely she has a way to delay activation? Of course she does, the mark of the Instant Shadow Killing Array is it.
Hiruko's foresight time is three seconds, which means he cannot see actions that are harmless in the present but harmful in the future.
In that case, wouldn't it be enough to use the shadow clones of the Instant Prison Shadow Killing Array to attach the Soul Extinction Seal to Hiruko?
"Is it that hard to understand?" Akali shook her head as she looked at the despairing Hiruko. "Just think of it as you being poisoned!"
"You've been poisoned, and there's no antidote for it, because it's not just an external poison, but a poison within your heart!"
Akali spoke slowly.
Hiruko's ability to become friends with the former Sannin shows that he was actually quite capable, as evidenced by his later creation of the Oni-Garaku technique.
Unfortunately, Hiruko was controlled by jealousy and lost his balance, choosing to walk the evil path alone. Otherwise, with his research abilities, if he had just been willing to speak up to Orochimaru, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
"It can only be said that defeating the bandits in the mountains is easy, but defeating the bandits in one's heart is difficult!"
Akali stretched out her hand and pointed it at Hiruko: "Goodbye, Konoha rogue ninja!"
After speaking, Akali clasped her five fingers together, and dark shadow energy, as deep as the night, emerged from her body.
Hiruko hurriedly released his Steel Release technique, attempting to withstand the attack head-on.
However, Akali's Soul Seal is not outside her body, but inside her body!
"Bang—" The Soul-Destroying Seal within Hiruko's body exploded!
"pat-"
Hiruko, who had been blown to a pulp like Gojo Satoru, collapsed to the ground, blood gushing from his wounds. This time, the Wood Release life force absorbed from White Zetsu could no longer save him!
As blood flowed, Hiruko's eyes slowly dimmed. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he remained silent.
[Ding! Emotional value from Hiruko +!]
"So, does this count as dying with resentment?"
Akali was quite surprised to see the emotional points she had obtained from Biruho.
Akali, you did it!
Hinata, seeing that Akali had finished, ran to Akali's side and said, "As expected of Akali, even an enemy like that couldn't stop you!"
"Well, I'm not actually that good!" Akali scratched her head. "It's mainly because the opponent was a bit bad. They only knew how to play the game based on stats and didn't have any skills at all."
"Otherwise, if he knew a few Wood Release techniques, or was more proficient in using the Mangekyou Sharingan, or if his fighting style wasn't so monotonous, I wouldn't have been able to kill him so easily."
"In the end, researchers are just researchers. Not every scientist is as good as Orochimaru in a fight."
Akali explained, "Of course, there's also the fact that the person who brought him here is a total jerk."
When Akali first arrived and saw Hiruko with his eye-rolling and kaleidoscope-like abilities, she thought Hiruko was incredibly powerful.
As a result, once Sage Mode was activated, a single Instant Shadow Killing Array instantly killed him.
Obito gave Hiruko so many abilities, but he didn't teach her a single ninjutsu!
Akali was speechless at this thought.
Akali remained silent, as she was viewing the enemy from her own perspective.
For Obito, it was the right thing to do not teach Hiruzen too much.
Otherwise, what if someone stronger than him surpasses him, given Hiruko's abilities?
Moreover, he originally created enemies like Biruhu and Wangliang for Akali's intelligence, so it would be best if they could be eliminated; he had no other desires.
"Looks like it's over there!"
Noticing that Akali had finished, Obito, who was confronting Kakashi and Guy, adjusted his mask and said, "In that case, I should be going too!"
"Don't run!" Guy rushed to Obito's position and unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks as swift as the wind, raining down on Obito like machine gun fire.
However, as soon as Obito activated his Hollowfication, Guy's punches and kicks became completely useless!
Obito coldly watched Guy's punches and kicks: "No need to be in such a hurry, we'll have plenty of time to meet again in the future!"
"Well then, goodbye, Konoha's Copy Ninja Kakashi, and Konoha's Blue Beast Might Guy... Pfft!"
Obito suddenly coughed up blood, interrupting himself.
"Huh?!" Guy and Kakashi were both very puzzled as they looked at Obito coughing up blood.
Akai looked at his fist in confusion, wondering why he hadn't felt any impact.
"Forget it, never mind!" Although he didn't feel the impact of the punch and didn't know if Obito's vomiting blood was related to his fist, it didn't matter. He swung his fist first and would worry about the rest later.
So Guy continued to throw punches, forcing Obito to remain in his Hollowfication state.
Therefore, the next second, another Rasengan hit Obito's body, which was placed in the Kamui dimension!
"Ah!" Obito screamed as his robe on his right shoulder ripped apart as if it had been thrown into a shredder, revealing his battered arm.
Even if Obito were slow-witted, he would be able to figure out where the attack came from after two hits.
[Ding! Obito's emotional value +9999!]
Obito never imagined that one day his Kamui dimension would be able to enter the enemy's territory!
As the saying goes, to repel external threats, one must first secure internal stability!
No longer caring about hiding, Obito's right eye quickly transformed into the Mangekyou Sharingan, and then he activated Kamui at full power, directly transferring his true form into the Kamui dimension.
Another emotional value gain has arrived!
[Ding! Obito's emotional value +9999!]
Akali nodded knowingly. "It seems Obito has run into an old friend. In that case, I'd better hurry over there too!"
"Go ahead, Akali, we'll be fine here!" Hinata said considerately upon hearing Akali's words, "I see, Gaara's team is almost here."
"Is Gaara about to arrive? Then we really don't need to worry about the Sky Ninja anymore."
Akali nodded: "Hinata, you stay here by yourself for a while, I'll be right back!"
After saying that, Akali disappeared again.
