Chapter 96.3- One Thousand hands
Added 2025-11-05 21:57:12 +0000 UTCKushina reached me first. In tailed beast mode, they weren’t even comparable in speed. And this time instead of giving way to her overwhelming power, I stood my ground. I swelled in size as I pulled on that energy stored within my seal, balancing it against my own chakra with control only a hyuga could understand and preparing to be the wall her storm would break against.
She kicked out. I blocked, raising a single hand. Sh pushed off, and as she did so, her tails lashed out at me. I stepped into their swing, grabbing a hold of them, and preparing to use them to maneuver her, before I was forced to get go to block a set of wind enhanced kunai with my backhand after enhancing it with earth release.
Kushina used the chance to escape, and as I moved to pursue, the ground beneath me exploded— out from it came a certain yellow blur, rasengan clutched in hand. I grabbed a hold of his wrist, dragging him into my space and landing a nasty mean kick straight to his midsection.. He exploded with enough force that I actually almost felt it. I stood there until the smoke cloud dispersed, revealing me untouched from what had been an actually good trap in hindsight.
Kushina roared, shooting at me like a bullet, spinning as she did so with her tails stretched in front of her, giving her a boost in penetrative power. Yeah, I wasn’t keen on seeing how that would feel. The ground between us turned to mud with a twist of my chakra, and a hand rose from the ground, slapping her into the distance. The hand was peppered with a storm of kunai, each attached to an explosive tag.
