As he spoke, he reached out to grab Kakashi, but before he could touch Kakashi, a beam of white light pierced through his shoulder.

"Who?" Hiruko grunted and roared.

"I'm right next to you."

Hiruko looked in the direction of the sound and sure enough, he saw Neji pointing a finger at him.

"How is this possible? You're actually alright?!" Hiruko was shocked.

"You're probably still half asleep," Neji said expressionlessly. He hadn't moved an inch, so it seemed that Hiruko hadn't paid any attention to him at all.

"Hmph, looks like you're a bit stronger than those guys. Anyway, it's still early, so I'll play with you for a bit." Hiruko still didn't take Neji seriously and flashed behind him.

"Neji, watch out!"

"Too late!" Hiruko laughed, his body instantly hardening as he unleashed a sweeping kick.

But at that moment, a hand suddenly grabbed his whip leg, bent down and threw him to the ground.

"Is this all the strength you have?" Neji said calmly. In his opinion, this speed was barely passable.

"How is this possible?" Hiruko was shocked, but his ninja instincts made him retreat at top speed. However, a gust of wind flashed by, and Neji reappeared behind him.

"So fast!"

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Hiruko's forehead. He abruptly stopped and turned to kick upwards. However, just as he struck Neji, Neji suddenly turned into a piece of wood, tightly binding him.

"Wood Release! You have two bloodline limits?!" Hiruko exclaimed in surprise.

At the same time, Neji slammed his palm on the ground, and a huge crystal dragon appeared in front of Hiruko, opening its mouth to bite him.

"This is... crystallization, the third bloodline limit!" Hiruko was bewildered for a moment, but only for a moment: "Even so, there are still differences in quality among bloodline limits."

Hiruko yelled and used Dark Release: Absorption Hole again, swallowing the wooden stick and the crystal dragon into his body. Then, he shook his right hand in the air and returned all the absorbed ninjutsu to Neji.

"burst!"

An accident occurred. The ninjutsu that Hiruko had just released exploded before it even left his palm. The powerful impact and the extremely close distance instantly blew Hiruko's right arm apart.

"Ah ah ah..."

Hiruko screamed repeatedly, his heart filled with terror. He had no idea what had just happened.

"You're so arrogant just because you only have four bloodline limits? You really are a frog in a well." Neji said indifferently.

"Let me show you how ignorant you are." Neji clasped his hands together, and icy energy emanated from his palms, gradually transforming into a sharp blade that gleamed brightly.

Ice Release: Ice Fang!

Neji slashed from a distance, and countless ice blades shattered the air, whistling incessantly, aiming to cut Hiruko in two.

"The fourth bloodline limit!"

I devoured it using the Oni-Garuru technique, but... what kind of monster is this thing?

Hiruko gritted his teeth, preparing to absorb all these ninjutsu.

But the next moment, he was suddenly terrified. Neji had appeared in front of him without him noticing, his palms filled with chakra, striking him again and again.

No matter how hard the body's surface is, it cannot protect the internal organs in the face of Gentle Fist. Therefore, with each palm strike from Neji, his injuries worsened.

"Damn it, let's die together then!" Hiruko roared, reaching out to grab Neji. All of Neji's chakra points had been sealed, preventing him from using any ninjutsu. The ice blades were already close, so rather than going alone, he might as well take Neji with him.

However, the moment his hand touched Neji, it suddenly passed right through him. Neji was like a phantom, as if he didn't exist at all. Before he could react, a large number of ice blades swept across the sky, piercing through Hiruko's body one after another.

Why?

Hiruko muttered unwillingly, and the next moment his body was torn apart, turning into dozens of pieces that fell off one by one, creating a scene that was extremely bloody and violent.

To prevent the women from witnessing this dismemberment, Neji reached out and crystallized the remains, then smashed them to pieces with a single slap.

"It's over, you can go back now," Neji said, turning his head.

With Hiruko dead, Kakashi's puppet seal was also broken, and he asked, "Neji, Hiruko, he..."

"He's dead." Neji answered before Kakashi could say anything.

"I see." Kakashi nodded, somewhat regretfully. It seemed he wouldn't have the chance to convey the bond between comrades to Hiruko.

Then, Kakashi passed out.

"Kakashi-sensei, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just fainted from exhaustion due to excessive chakra consumption," Sakura said.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression turned strange. It seemed like he hadn't contributed much to the fight...

"As expected of Kakashi, the mana-starving monster, his reputation as Kakashi-sensei is now completely cemented. He's truly amazing," Lee exclaimed.

Everyone was speechless.

Suddenly, a familiar chakra appeared within Neji's sensing range, causing Neji to shudder slightly.

Chapter 151 Itachi VS Art Duo

"Interesting, he actually came to Mount Sumeru?" Neji was slightly taken aback. At that moment, two more streams of chakra rushed into his sensing range.

"What's going on?" Neji was somewhat bewildered after sensing the identities of the two people, his brows furrowing into a deep frown.

"Neji-nii, what's wrong?" Hinata asked, looking at Neji's furrowed brow with some concern.

"It's nothing, I'm just going out for a bit, I'll be right back."

After saying that, Neji vanished in a flash right in front of them.

"So fast!" Kakashi exclaimed. Neji left even faster than he had just fought Hiruko. Even his Mangekyou Sharingan could barely keep up with his trail.

"Hey, Kakashi-sensei, you're awake." Sai said expressionlessly. Kakashi-sensei was really embarrassing, his chakra shortage was extremely terrible.

"Hahaha..." Kakashi scratched his head and laughed awkwardly, subtly covering his Sharingan with his headband in order to prolong his life.

"Neji is really amazing, with four different bloodline limits," Rock Lee exclaimed. Even someone like him who believes that hard work can surpass geniuses was incredibly envious.

"Four bloodline limits! If they develop normally, they could all become a 'Kage'."

“That’s for sure. As for why, he killed a Kage-level figure a long time ago.” Shino pushed up his sunglasses and said slowly.

As for why Neji has four different bloodline limits, they told themselves that some things should not be investigated too deeply.

"She's even learned Wood Release! Lady Tsunade must be so happy to hear that!" Sakura was overjoyed and incredibly excited.

"Uh..." Kakashi was taken aback upon hearing this, and hesitated before speaking. Lady Tsunade had already witnessed Neji's Wood Release.

While they were leisurely discussing, a great battle broke out in the dense forest below Mount Sumeru.

"Itachi, you can't escape." Sasori, hidden in Hiruko, spoke in a deep, resonant voice like an old-fashioned stereo.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a figure suddenly appeared in front of Itachi, wielding multiple large swords with his right hand and a spinning gear with his left, immediately lunging at Itachi.

laugh!

Multiple large swords spun and pierced into Itachi's body, but at that moment, his figure suddenly transformed into a crow and scattered.

However, Sasori knew Itachi's abilities inside and out, so he was not surprised to see this. Instead, he manipulated the Third Kazekage's puppet to create a giant steel pillar formed from highly concentrated iron sand, and then swung it towards one of the treetops.

Iron sand attack!

The moment Itachi appeared, the giant steel pillar was already in front of him. With a loud bang, a crimson hand bone suddenly blocked Sasori's attack.

Itachi's eyes opened at this moment, transforming into the Mangekyou Sharingan. He was surrounded by red ribs, and calmly looked at Sasori.

Susanoo's initial form.

"Is that Susanoo?" Sasori's deep voice rang out, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

Before setting off, Pain repeatedly told him to be careful of Susanoo, which was the ultimate ninjutsu that combined offense and defense, and was also recognized as the strongest defensive technique in the ninja world.

"But!" Sasori's eyes sharpened, and the steel pillar that was about to strike Itachi suddenly disintegrated, transforming into a sharp cone that pierced towards Itachi once more.

He didn't believe in any absolutely unbreakable defense in the face of his timeless art.

The Third Kazekage, who possesses Magnet Release, can manipulate iron sand. Theoretically, no defense can withstand such a high-density concentrate if it is used to break through a surface from a single point.

The weasel's face remained calm and expressionless. He extended another crimson hand bone, which firmly grasped the sharp spike, blocking it from entering.

But at that moment, a huge white centipede suddenly crawled out from behind him and wrapped itself around his body.

"Haha, art is an explosion, drink!" Deidara laughed wildly in the air, standing on a giant bird. As his voice fell, a deafening explosion suddenly rang out in the dense forest.

Instantly, birds scattered in fright, trees collapsed in large swaths, and billowing black smoke rose high into the sky, obscuring the heavens.

As a result, a tremor suddenly came from the top of Mount Sumeru, and a loud explosion reached everyone's ears, causing Kakashi and the others to stand up and become alert.

"The sound came from the foot of the mountain, and Neji just disappeared again. Could there be enemies near Mount Sumeru?" Shikamaru pondered.

"That shouldn't be the case. Who would come to Mount Sumeru at a time like this?"

"No matter what, let's go down and take a look." Kakashi took the lead and rushed down.

Seeing this, the others followed suit.

From the dense forest at the foot of the mountain, amidst thick black smoke, a powerful aura suddenly swept in, scattering it.

"Yasaka no Magatama!"

Immediately afterwards, a huge, crimson, magatama-shaped object suddenly flew out and instantly struck the Third Kazekage puppet, completely destroying it.

"What?!" Deidara stared in disbelief at the scene before him; his clay explosion had been completely ineffective.

"Damn it, what is that thing, huh?!" Deidara gritted his teeth as he stared at the red skeleton that had completely enveloped Itachi, utterly unable to believe that this thing had actually blocked his explosive art.

Unperturbed by the destruction of the Third Kazekage's puppet, Sasori looked seriously at Itachi not far away and murmured, "It's different now."

At this moment, Itachi's entire body was covered by a skeleton, and his appearance was beginning to resemble a human. His crimson bones were exceptionally tall and had a strong visual impact.

This is the first form of Susanoo.

"Huff~ Huff~" Itachi was not in good condition at the moment. He was weak and panting slightly. After several days of fleeing and occasionally fighting with Deidara and Sasori, coupled with his serious illness, he was repeatedly at a disadvantage.

Gently wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Itachi closed his eyes and murmured, "Time is running out. We need to weaken them at least."

He struggled to open his right eye, a trickle of blood flowing down his eye socket, and his gaze immediately focused on the scorpion.

"This, could it be... Oh no!" Sasori's heart skipped a beat. Chakra threads flowed in his hands as he quickly pulled up a piece of rotten wood that had just exploded to the ground, trying to use it as a shield in front of him.

Unfortunately, he was too late.
