The blond-haired Hokage, starting from before Hinata's wedding.

And that masked man, from the start of the battle until now, he has been standing still, motionless, as if watching a show.

Perhaps, he is the real threat!

Thinking of this, Sakura feinted a move to force the skinny ghost back, and then suddenly rushed towards the masked man.

"Get past me first!" the skinny monster yelled, chasing after him again.

"Get out of my way!" Sakura roared, unleashing the Hundred Healings Technique without hesitation. Endless chakra surged into her limbs and bones, instantly increasing her speed and strength.

"It's actually this forbidden technique, using life force to withstand my corrosive claws? Interesting, very interesting! I'd like to see how long this skill can last!" The skinny ghost's eyes were practically overflowing with greed, as if he had spotted a perfect toy.

"Fu, are you alright?" Qiu Xiaoming quickly came to Fu's side and was shocked to see that Fu's face was covered in bruises. He hadn't expected that the skinny ghost's poison was so potent; just one palm strike had caused Fu to be so deeply poisoned.

"I'm fine! I can hold on!" Fu circulated her chakra to resist the deadly poison within her body.

"What are you holding back for? Hurry up and eat this." Qiu Xiaoming took out a Dragon Ball Senzu Bean and put it in Fu's mouth.

The Senzu Bean melted in her mouth, and a powerful force instantly surged through Fu's entire body, dispelling the toxins. Her stiff neck twitched with difficulty, and she let out a muffled groan. The bluish-purple color on her face faded at a visible speed.

Qiu Xiaoming stared at her nervously, and only when he saw her breathing gradually stabilized did his heart relax a little.

"How are you feeling?" Qiu Xiaoming asked in a low voice.

Fu's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes, a hint of confusion flashing in them before her gaze cleared.

She stretched her muscles and bones, which made a slight cracking sound, and the pain in her back had mostly subsided.

"Much better," she replied in a hoarse voice, her gaze shifting to the skinny guy and Sakura in the distance, her eyes blazing with anger.

On the other side, after Sakura activated the Hundred Healings Technique, her speed and strength were greatly enhanced, and she forced the skinny guy back with a single punch.

Her goal was clear: the masked man was the key!

She wanted to eliminate this biggest threat with swift and decisive action.

"Want to get past? Not so easy!" The skinny monster laughed and clung to her again, his speed increasing dramatically, blocking Sakura's path.

He thoroughly enjoyed this cat-and-mouse game, watching the other struggle desperately yet helplessly, which made him tremble with excitement.

"Get out of my way!" Sakura roared, throwing a heavy punch at the skinny guy's face.

The skinny ghost neither dodged nor avoided, but instead swung out a claw, exchanging a punch head-on with Sakura.

"boom!"

With a muffled thud, the two men each took a few steps back.

Sakura felt a tingling sensation in her fist and looked at the skinny guy with fear in her eyes. Even with the Hundred Healings Technique activated, she couldn't quickly subdue him.

The skinny guy licked his paws, his eyes filled with excitement: "Not bad, not bad, let's do it again!"

Just as the two were about to clash again, a furious roar rang out.

"Damn it! Die!" Fu roared, her butterfly wings flapped behind her, stirring up a whirlwind, and she transformed into a streak of emerald light, fiercely attacking the skinny ghost's back!

Fu's current strength is not low. She is at the peak of the Super Shadow realm and has one foot in the Six Paths realm. Her strength is even a few points higher than Sakura's.

It was just a sudden sneak attack from the skinny guy, and his moves were also poisonous, otherwise he wouldn't have been defeated so easily.

Now that she has taken the Senzu Bean, she has returned to her peak condition. As long as you are careful, it won't be so easy to hit her again.

Fu attacked in anger, her speed was extremely fast, and the skinny ghost only felt a gust of wind behind him, a strong sense of crisis instantly surged into his heart.

The skinny guy cursed under his breath, not daring to be negligent, and immediately abandoned his pursuit of Sakura, turning around to face Fu's attack.

"Bang!" Another muffled sound rang out as Fu's fist slammed solidly into the skinny ghost's claws, unleashing a burst of violent energy.

"Thump thump thump!" Fu and the skinny ghost each stumbled back several steps. Fu steadied herself, and the butterfly wings on her back trembled slightly, dissipating the enormous impact.

The skinny guy, however, tumbled several times in the air before barely landing.

After landing, the skinny ghost looked at Fu with a surprised and uncertain expression. He did not expect that the woman he had knocked down with a single palm strike earlier would possess such powerful strength.

"Heh, this is interesting!" The skinny guy licked his lips, revealing a bloodthirsty smile.

He cracked his wrists, making a snapping sound, his eyes filled with excitement.

Fu Shuangmou Shansi Ni (II) Hissing Eight IV skirt gleamed with a cold light. Although the attack just now did not seriously injure the skinny ghost, it did calm the anger in her heart a little.

"Fu, you deal with that masked man, I'll handle him!" Sakura landed next to Fu and said to her.

Fu is stronger than her, making her more suitable to deal with the masked man, and her Hundred Healings Technique is also effective against the skinny ghost's poison.

“You can’t handle him alone.” Fu looked at the skinny man with wary eyes and said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, Yu Gao, Ye Cang, and I can handle him alone," Sakura said, looking warily at the skinny man.

Previously, because of the skinny guy's poison, they didn't dare let Yekura and the others take action, and could only let Yudaka provide support from a distance using soap bubbles.

Fu's support just now gave her the opportunity to send out slugs so they could possess her and protect her from the skinny ghost's poisonous claws.

Fu glanced at the slug perched on her shoulder and nodded gently.

She knew about Sakura's Slug Technique, which possessed extremely strong healing abilities. With the Slug around, they should be able to handle that skinny guy's poison.

"Alright! Then I'll leave this guy to you. I'll deal with that masked man!" Fu nodded lightly, turned around, and flew towards the masked man.

"Trying to leave? No way!" The skinny ghost sneered, and in a flash, he chased after Fu.

"Iron fist!" However, Sakura's iron fist was already close to his eyes, carrying immense power.

"Damn it!" The skinny guy was forced to stop and raised his claws to meet Sakura's powerful punch head-on.

With a bang, the skinny ghost felt a tremendous force strike him, his arms went numb, and his body slid backward uncontrollably.

"If you want to help, you'll have to get past us first!"

"Utaka, Yekura, don't hold back, attack together!" Sakura shouted, a diamond-shaped mark appearing on her forehead, emitting a faint glow.

Upon receiving Sakura's order, Utakata and Yotaka no longer hesitated and immediately joined the battle.

Yu Gao held a blowgun and continuously sprayed soap bubbles containing strong acid to block the skinny ghost's movement.

Yekura formed hand seals, creating bursts of scorching fireballs that attacked the skinny demon's lower body.

Chapter 283 Let's go together!

Yu Gao's soap bubbles drew eerie arcs in the air, accompanied by a corrosive sound, forcing the skinny ghost to dodge.

Every time you step on the ground, fine white foam rises up, a trace of strong acid corrosion.

The skinny guy frowned, a hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes—this thing couldn't hurt him, but it was like chewing gum, once it stuck, he couldn't get rid of it.

"Damn it, this is so annoying!" the skinny guy cursed under his breath, his figure blurring as he tried to escape Yu Gao's attack.

He deliberately created an opening to lure Utakata into attacking, but just as the soap bubble was about to touch his body, he suddenly turned and pounced on Sakura.

He could tell that these people were no longer afraid of his poisonous claws because of this woman. Once he killed this woman, the rest of them would be no threat at all.

Sakura was prepared. As she swung her iron fist, the diamond-shaped mark on her forehead shone even brighter. Irukiji Wu Jiuzhou shouted, "Iron!"

She threw a punch, the wind howling as it slammed into the skinny man's face with devastating force.

The skinny ghost's body twisted strangely, bending at an unbelievable angle from the middle, barely dodging the fatal blow.

"What?!" Sakura's pupils shrank.

Having narrowly escaped a fatal blow, the skinny man, like a venomous snake, flicked out his scarlet tongue and licked his chapped lips. He grinned, his gleaming white teeth appearing particularly menacing in the dim light, and said in a sinister tone, "Little girl, you're quite strong!"

Sakura was secretly shocked. This guy's flexibility was beyond her comprehension. This guy was not like a human at all!

"Hehe, isn't that surprising?" The skinny ghost seemed to have seen through Sakura's thoughts, and with a strange laugh, he pounced on her again. This time, he was faster and his movements were even more bizarre.

"Damn it!" Sakura gritted her teeth, fully activating the Hundred Healings Technique, her chakra surging throughout her body.

She stomped her foot hard, cracking the ground, and used the force to leap backward, narrowly avoiding the skinny ghost's attack.

"Trying to run?" the skinny ghost sneered, his figure as elusive as a phantom as he relentlessly pursued him.

Yekura's fireball hurtled towards him, forcing the skinny guy to change direction again. Utakata took the opportunity to spray out a series of acidic bubbles, blocking his escape route.

"Annoying!" the skinny ghost roared, waving his claws to disperse all the incoming fireballs and bubbles. His eyes flashed with a fierce light, filled with murderous intent, and he roared, "Since you're courting death, don't blame me for being impolite!"

The skinny ghost was surrounded by surging black energy, and a nauseating stench permeated the air. His figure became even more ethereal, and his speed became so fast that it was difficult for the naked eye to detect.

"Watch out!" Yu Gao exclaimed. He noticed that the skinny ghost's aura had suddenly disappeared.

Yu Gao's heart tightened, and a strong sense of crisis surged into his heart. He turned his head sharply, only to see that the skinny ghost had appeared behind him at some point, its sharp claws like venomous snakes stabbing towards his back.

"Damn it!" At the critical moment, Yu Gao only had time to gather chakra in his back to form a defense.

"Oh!"

The claws collided with the chakra defense, producing a dull thud. Utaka let out a muffled groan, staggered forward a few steps, and felt a burning pain in his back.

Although he managed to defend against the fatal blow, his chakra defenses were still torn open, and blood seeped through his clothes.

"Yu Gao!" Ye Cang exclaimed, his hands quickly forming hand seals.

"Burning Escape·Steam Kill!"

Several orange-red fireballs coalesced and shot towards the skinny ghost with a whooshing sound. Wherever the fireballs passed, the air was burned and distorted.

Just as the skinny ghost was about to give chase to Yu Gao, he sensed the intense heat coming from behind and had to turn around to deal with it. He swung his claws, black energy swirling around them, and forcefully dispersed the fireball.

"Tch, interrupted again!" The skinny guy licked his lips, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Sakura rushed forward, activating the Hundred Healings Technique to its fullest extent. She darted to the side of the Addict, her iron fist slamming into his ribs with a whistling sound.

"Trying to launch a sneak attack?" the skinny guy sneered.

His body twisted in a way that defied human anatomy, bending his waist almost at a ninety-degree angle, barely dodging Sakura's attack.

"This monster!" Sakura gritted her teeth inwardly.

The instant her fist missed its mark, Sakura immediately changed it into a palm strike, aiming a swift, lightning-fast motion at the skinny guy's neck, giving him no time to react.

A hint of surprise flashed in the skinny man's eyes; this woman's combat experience was far richer than he had imagined.

He didn't have time to dodge completely, so he could only tilt his head back. The palm strike grazed his throat, leaving a shallow bloodstain.

"Hiss!" The skinny ghost gasped, the mockery in his eyes vanished completely, replaced by pure killing intent.

"You wretched woman, you've completely enraged me!"

The black aura around the skinny ghost surged, making his entire aura even more sinister and terrifying. He suddenly opened his blood-red maw and let out a roar like that of a wild beast.

"Yu Gao, are you alright?" Ying saw that Yu Gao was injured and quickly ran to his side, supporting him and asking with concern.

"I'm fine." Yu Gao shook his head gently. With Sakura's healing slug, his injury was quickly healed.

"You'd better get out of the way, that guy's about to get serious!" Yu Gao gently nudged Ying, then continued charging towards the skinny guy.

The skinny man forced out a hoarse laugh, like rusty gears grinding together, making one's teeth ache. He arched his body, like a wild beast about to pounce, his black aura solidifying into tentacles, leaving afterimages behind him.

"Let's go together!" Sakura shouted, and quickly pounced on the skinny guy.

"Water Release: Bubble Dance!" Utakata formed hand seals, and a large amount of bubbles gushed from his mouth, colorful and extremely beautiful, yet containing deadly toxins.

"Scorching Release: Steam Kill!" Ye Cang followed closely behind, his hands forming hand seals. Several fireballs burning with raging flames, carrying an aura of annihilation, blocked all of the skinny ghost's escape routes.

The skinny ghost's pupils shrank sharply, and his black tentacles danced wildly, trying to block the fireball. The flames collided with the black energy, producing a sizzling sound, and the air was filled with the smell of burning.

"Damn it!" the skinny guy roared. He had underestimated Yecang's scorching heat. Several fireballs broke through his defenses, leaving charred marks on his body.

Sakura seized the opportunity, unleashing a burst of chakra beneath her feet, instantly closing in on the skinny demon. She clenched her right fist and struck the skinny demon's abdomen with a whooshing sound.

"You're asking for death!" The skinny ghost's eyes flashed with ferocity. Ignoring his injuries, he condensed black energy into a sharp claw in his left hand and met Sakura's fist.

"Bang!" Fist and claw collided, and a shockwave exploded. Sakura felt a tremendous force coming from her, which made her arm go numb.

The skinny ghost was also suffering. The strange strength of the Seventh Brother in "Sakura Neon 3" far exceeded his expectations. He felt as if his internal organs were churning.

"Today! I will kill you all!!!" The skinny ghost had never suffered such humiliation. He roared so loudly that his eyes flashed red.

Chapter 284 Spirit Bomb

Looking at the two battlefields ahead, Qiu Xiaoming felt quite anxious.

Fu fought the masked man alone, but the masked man's strength was unfathomable, and Fu could not defeat him by herself.

As for Sakura and her two companions, they couldn't take down that skinny guy anytime soon.

"What do we do? What do we do? Are we just going to stand here and watch?" Hotaru stamped her feet anxiously. Yugao had been injured countless times, and if it weren't for Sakura's slug healing, he wouldn't have been able to hold on.

She wanted to go up and help, but before she could even get close to the skinny ghost, a massive surge of chakra threatened to blow her away.

"Xiao Xiaoming, do you have any ideas?" Jia Liuluo stood beside Qiu Xiaoming, looking at him nervously.
