Immediately afterwards, the masked man stretched out his hands, and a purple defensive shield appeared in front of him, completely blocking the wind blades. The two collided, producing an echoing sound like the striking of bells and drums.

The wind lashed powerfully at the masked man. Although it couldn't completely penetrate the protective shield, it created a huge counterforce, causing the mask on the man's face to slip off, revealing his face underneath.

The man's eyes were vacant, like a controlled puppet. He wore black assassin-style glasses and had a purple mark on his face.

Shan Zhongfeng stood there, somewhat relieved.

"Lord Ryoma, how could he?" Shin looked at the man in front of him in disbelief.

This person was none other than Aburame Ryoma.

"Isn't he dead?" Sai said tremblingly.

“Boys, this guy… isn’t Aburame Ryoma anymore.” Yamanaka Fu laughed.

"Orochimaru... How dare you use the Impure World Reincarnation on your former friend?"

The mountain wind rushed out, sword held horizontally at his waist, then formed a hand seal...

"The Technique of Mind Turning!" Yamanaka Fu's eyes lit up.

"Let me end all of this."

A chilling aura filled Aburame Ryoma. He raised one hand, and countless deadly parasitic insects immediately emerged from his sleeve.

The Mind Transfer Technique is most vulnerable to group attacks. Even if it hits one person, it's useless because the others will immediately rush to the weak and powerless main body and kill it directly.

In fact, the best way to unleash the full power of the Mind Transfer Technique is to combine it with the Nara and Akimichi families to launch the Ino-Shika-Cho combo attack.

"Hmph..." Yamanaka Kaze snorted lightly; he already knew that Aburame Ryoma would use this move.

Using the Mind Transfer Technique against someone like Aburame Ryoma would be tantamount to suicide.

Everything that just happened was a staged performance by him...

"Unfortunately, the one who controls you doesn't understand." Yamanaka Fu's eyes were sharp, and the chakra pathways in his body changed in an instant.

"The Art of Disrupting the Mind and Body!"

Instantly, the pink heart transformed into countless pink energy powders, striking the swarms of parasites.

The wind in the mountains landed, still bearing the hand seals from the spell.

"The technique of disrupting the mind and body has been successfully completed."

Suddenly, the bodies of the swarming parasitic insects began to tremble slightly, and their pinhole-sized eyes revealed a hint of pink.

The Mind-Disrupting Technique controlled all the parasitic insects and they began to fly in the opposite direction, towards Aburame Ryoma.

Even though Aburame Ryoma's body is immune to the toxicity of his insects, all Yamanaka Fu needs to do is surround Aburame Ryoma.

Just as Yamanaka Fu had predicted, Aburame Ryoma's body was soon covered by his own poisonous insects.

Sai and Shin stood aside and sighed. They had no chance to make a move and could only watch the big shots fight.

"Alright, it's harvest time." Yamanaka Kaze sighed softly.

"Old friend, let me take you home."

Yamanaka Kaze closed his eyes tightly, and a familiar chakra surged from his body—the chakra that Yoriichi had left in him before.

"Mind-Controlling Puppet Technique: Cursed Seal Technique!"

The parasitic insects wrapped around Ryoma Aburame's limbs to prevent him from casting spells, while exposing his face and body.

Yamanaka Fu quickly cast a spell, throwing a puppet from his body that adhered to Aburame Ryoma's chest, sealing his soul onto the puppet, and the two became one in terms of the force of the attack.

Immediately afterwards, winds from all directions converged, forming sharp blades that slashed down on the puppet, creating a magnificent dimensional slash!

This move is an attack targeting the soul. Although Ryoma Aburame's reanimated body was not damaged, his soul inside had already been directly severed.

He is... no longer capable of fighting.

Ryoma Aburame's body, no longer supported by the parasitic insects, collapsed and turned into dust, slowly drifting into the sky.

As Shan Zhongfeng watched this scene, his heart was heavy.

"Yama no Kaze, continue to protect Lord Kenshin." In a daze, he seemed to hear the call of Aburame Ryoma's soul.

"Yes, I will." Yamanaka Fu's body trembled, and a single tear rolled down his cheek.

Chapter 104 Rotten Persimmon

In front of the dormitory of the senior members of the Root organization.

Suigetsu helped Jugo to lift Karin up and lean her against a wall. The two glanced at Karin briefly and then looked around.

After confirming that there was no immediate danger around them, the two turned around and looked at the location where the group was engaged in fierce fighting in the distance.

In the distance, Zabuza and Haku's faces were cold and stern, seemingly locked in a stalemate. The red-moon masked man standing opposite them remained motionless, as if he had a complete grasp of the situation.

In contrast, Zabuza and Haku were retreating repeatedly, dodging the powerful crimson energy bursting from around the masked man.

The energy ball was like a glass bead on a round table, bouncing back and forth to the rhythm, but because of its extremely high speed, it had forced the two people to be unable to get close or escape.

"What is this...?" Shuiyue's mouth gaped open as she stared at the three of them in disbelief.

Haku and Zabuza are already very strong, but they can't get close to this person at all.

Shuiyue then looked towards the other two ends of the battlefield.

On the left is Yamanaka Kaze wielding a sword, cutting down a swarm of insects and confronting the masked flying insect man. On the right is Kimimaro standing there, hesitant and lost, with Yakushi Kabuto, who is bound and struggling, at his feet.

"Is Kimimaro... alright?" Suigetsu asked.

"Don't worry." Jugo patted Suigetsu's shoulder solemnly. "I believe he won't do anything wrong."

"That's good."

After discussing their strategy for a while, the two headed towards Zabuza and Haku, who were engaged in a fierce battle.

With Yamanaka Kaze joining forces with Nobu and Sai, the situation is improving.

Zabuza and Haku, on the other hand, clearly have no advantage and must intervene quickly!

On the right side of the battlefield, Kaguya Kimimaro's expression turned serious. He lowered his head, his back to the moonlight, as if he was thinking about something.

Kabuto struggled to get help from Kimimaro.

He didn't understand why Kimimaro had become so depressed after returning, when they were supposed to be comrades!

Kabuto racked his brains. He remembered that Kimimaro was present when Orochimaru held the planning meeting earlier, so it was impossible that he was unaware of tonight's situation.

Since they know this, it certainly isn't because they can't bring themselves to harm their original comrades.

If such a thing were to happen, he probably would have brought it up long ago.

Furthermore, Kimimaro's character wouldn't allow him to be so soft-hearted; he should be absolutely loyal to Orochimaru.

Kabuto stopped struggling and shouting. He sighed softly and looked at the crimson lotus that had been crushed into mincemeat.

He should be thankful he's still alive, or he should hurry up and find a way to escape.

He looked at Kimimaro with some disappointment, muttering to himself:

"But relying on this good-for-nothing is probably not going to work."

Kaguya Kimimaro lowered his head. He had clearly heard Kabuto Yakushi's cry for help, but at this moment, he was experiencing a violent internal struggle. A thought that could carry his beliefs took root in his mind, and he looked pained, somewhat unable to accept it.

Before everyone was teleported over...

In order to prevent Yamanaka Fu and the others from returning to Konoha to support Root, he went berserk and instantly activated the second stage of the Cursed Seal, and even used his ultimate move, the Dance of the Ferns, as a result.

Sure enough, under such an offensive, even the leader of the Root organization, Yamanaka Fu, could not keep up with his speed. His bone spikes were like electric drills, and his speed was as fast as lightning. He charged straight at Yoriichi, Orochimaru's biggest enemy in this plan!

Even if this person is an avatar, as long as we kill him, we can prevent Jugo and Yamanaka Fu from returning to the battlefield!

It's a pity that Lord Orochimaru was still tricked by Kenshin... He never expected it to be a clone...

Kimimaro clicked his tongue and stopped thinking about it. He just needed to fulfill his duties as a subordinate!

"boom!"

Suddenly, Jugo, as solid as an iron wall, stood in front of Kimimaro, preventing Kimimaro from attacking Yoriichi for the second time.

"Jugo! Get out of the way!" Kimimaro was a little angry, his veins bulging. He couldn't break through Jugo's defense at all.

"You used to be one of Lord Orochimaru's men, so why have you defected to the enemy?" Kimimaro questioned Jugo repeatedly, but Jugo lowered his head and remained silent.

Orochimaru only used him as an experimental subject and had no feelings for him. But Kimimaro was different. From the moment he was able to stop his cursed seal from turning into his own, he became his friend.

Faced with his friend's criticism, Jugo lowered his head.

"Defecting to the enemy? What counts as defecting to the enemy?" A cold voice rang out.

Kimimaro was taken aback, his gaze falling on Yoriichi, who was standing motionless in front of him. The voice he had just heard had come from Yoriichi.

Yoriichi looked up and continued, "How can you be so sure Orochimaru isn't an enemy?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Kimimaro stopped what he was doing, tilted his head, and jumped up again to dodge the attack of the Mountain Wind's Mind Disorder Technique, exposing himself to the moonlight.

"How could Lord Orochimaru possibly be my enemy? Don't interfere with me here, Kenshin, today is your death day!"

"Even if you're in the Hidden Shadow Village, you can't possibly outmaneuver Lord Orochimaru's scheme!"

Yuan Yi smiled and held out his hand, signaling Yamanaka Fu to stop attacking. Yamanaka Fu immediately stopped what he was doing.

Kaguya Kimimaro landed smoothly, his eyes fixed on the motionless crowd, then turning to Yoriichi.

What do you want to do?

"If Orochimaru really considered you a teammate, why would he leave you here?" Yoriichi asked.

"It's all just fate's arrangement; I was simply chosen by you," Kimimaro said dismissively.

"Orochimaru knows perfectly well that you are no match for me. If he truly valued you, he could have easily made you refuse my request."

Kimimaro was stunned. He was about to retort when Yoriichi continued.

"If I'm not mistaken, Orochimaru wants you to stop me at all costs, even if it's just to stall me for a while."

"He only ever cared about winning, not about his teammates."

Kimimaro felt a sudden pang of sadness, but still wanted to argue.

Even so, so what?
