Cos Wuzan, was stabbed ten times by Heize at the beginning

As soon as Gekko Hayate finished speaking, he dodged backward, leaving space for Muzan and Kabuto Yakushi.

Neither Muzan nor Kabuto Yakushi took the initiative to attack.

He waited a moment, then looked at Kabuto: "Are you sure you don't want to take the initiative? If I have to..."

"It'll be over in one move!"

Muzan smiled at Kabuto Yakushi.

Yakushi Kabuto's eyes darkened.

He clearly had no intention of revealing himself, but Muzan's presence caused him to lose his mind and actually participate in the preliminary rounds.

Looking at Muzan's arrogant face, his harsh words kept echoing in Kabuto Yakushi's mind.

The Pharmacist's lips slowly curved into a smile, but his eyes behind his glasses were icy cold.

His figure flashed by and appeared before Muzan's eyes.

From the stands, Naruto exclaimed, "He's so fast!"

Kakashi frowned.

Kabuto's hands glowed with blue light, leaving eerie blue trails in the air.

Chakra covered his hands, sharper than a blade.

Chapter 420 Brother? ? ?

Muzan leaned back slightly, dodging the deadly chakra scalpel.

A kunai appeared in his hand, and a line of blood appeared on Kabuto Yakushi's thigh.

Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Although Kabuto Yakushi was fast, Muzan was no less so.

"Kakashi-sensei!"

Naruto exclaimed in shock.

Kakashi looked at Kabuto and noticed that the wound Muzan had left on Kabuto was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Muzan watched this scene without any change in his expression.

Kabuto Yakushi had already guessed that he could heal himself.

In medical ninjutsu, Kabuto Yakushi was indeed a genius.

Kabuto Yakushi distanced himself from Muzan. Yin Healing and Destruction is a technique that minimizes damage by knowing the enemy's attack points in advance and healing them before the enemy attacks.

If Muzan inflicts too many wounds on his body, this technique will become ineffective.

The pharmacist pushed up his slipping glasses, and his pupils contracted sharply in the reflection of the lenses.

Muzan's figure flashed, appearing as if out of thin air in front of Kabuto Yakushi.

Kabuto Yakushi knew perfectly well that this was not the Body Flicker Technique, but simply pure physical speed.

He knew Muzan was highly talented, but he didn't expect him to be so strong in physical combat as well.

Kabuto's chakra blade clashed with Muzan's kunai, and his other hand slashed towards Muzan's neck. The extremely close distance left Muzan with nowhere to dodge.

Naruto, standing in the stands, gripped the railing tightly, his face tense, as if his neck was about to be slashed.

Muzan kicked Kabuto Yakushi in the chest, the force sending Kabuto flying and crashing heavily into the wall.

Spiderweb-like cracks spread outwards from Kabuto Yakushi's body.

Gravel continued to fall.

Kabuto knelt on the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

He slightly raised his head and looked at Muzan, who was five meters away.

A smile was on Muzan's face.

That smile deeply stung Kabuto's eyes, like a silver needle piercing his pupils.

Kabuto slowly stood up.

He charged toward Muzan once more, but as he got closer, his attack style suddenly changed.

Just as Muzan's fist struck his chest, Kabuto Yakushi suddenly spun around and crouched down, appearing behind Muzan.

He brought his hands together, condensing them into a giant chakra blade, and stabbed it toward Muzan's back.

The sharp chakra blade's tip was no more than a millimeter away from Muzan.

The sound of flesh being pierced reached Kabuto Yakushi's ears.

"Muzan!"

In the stands, Naruto's pupils contracted, reflecting the scene of Muzan's body being pierced.

Penetrating wounds offer almost no chance of recovery.

His entire chest was torn apart.

Hayate Gekko's expression changed drastically as he looked at Rei Amamiya, who was watching the battle from behind.

Amamiya Rei remained calm, while Gekko Hayate was taken aback.

Amamiya-sama is so calm?

Hayate Gekko looked at Muzan again.

Where is Muzan pierced through the body?

That's clearly a wooden figure!

The wooden figure fell to the ground with a crisp thud.

Moonlight Gale's eyes narrowed. Wooden Man?

Wooden Man!

Wood Release!

Shock flashed in Moonlight Gale's eyes.

I never expected that Muzan would inherit Lord Amemiya's Wood Release!

The situation on the field turned around.

A burst of blood erupted from Yakushi Kabuto's shoulder.

A wooden vine pierced through Yakushi Kabuto's shoulder.

Muzan's hand landed on Kabuto's chest, easily piercing his heart.

Muzan withdrew his hand.

Wood Release!

In the stands, Sarutobi Asuma took a drag of his cigarette.

He looked down at Shikamaru and the other two, and sighed.

Shikamaru was speechless: "..."

Don't look at them like that.

They never thought they could defeat Muzan from the beginning.

Even without Wood Release, Muzan still has the Sharingan!

Does that mean Muzan is easier to deal with if he doesn't have Wood Release?

Shikamaru also let out a deep sigh.

Sarutobi Asuma: "..."

He looked at Kurenai Yuhi beside him.

Kurenai's attention was entirely focused on Muzan, her eyes gleaming with pride: "As expected of Zero's child!"

Sarutobi Asuma: "..."

This sounded strange, and he couldn't understand what Kurenai Yuhi was so proud of.

Kurenai Yuhi is neither Muzan's father, nor his mother, nor his teacher...

Asuma Sarutobi shuddered at the thought of one possibility.

The green light of the Palm Healing Technique flowed around Kabuto Yakushi's wound, but the wound did not change at all.

Kabuto's expression changed.

what happened?

Why is there no change in the wound?

Kabuto suddenly knelt on the ground.

His limbs were weak, and he couldn't even lift them.

Kabuto Yakushi's gaze fell upon Muzan.

A red camellia flower grew from his wound.

Kabuto's face was pale.

His chakra was constantly draining away.

He glanced at the increasingly vibrant camellia on his shoulder, immediately realized something, and said, "I admit defeat!"

Hayate Gekko stood between Muzan and Kabuto Yakushi and said to Muzan, "Muzan, the match is over. You can let him go now."

Muzan pursed his lips.

He walked up to Yakushi Kabuto and reached out to pluck the camellia.

Yakushi Kabuto clenched his teeth so tightly that he didn't scream.

Blood flowed down his shoulder as Muzan's hand landed on it.

A green light appeared, and the wound on the pharmacist's shoulder healed rapidly.

Kabuto Yakushi was taken aback, staring at Muzan in surprise.

Seeing that the wound had healed, Muzan withdrew his hand.

He believed that Kabuto Yakushi, who would cultivate immortal arts in the future, would be even more valuable, and he hoped that Kabuto would not disappoint him.

"We still need to keep working hard..."

Muzan patted Kabuto's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Brother..."

Kabuto's pupils contracted as he watched Muzan's retreating figure walk onto the stands, his heart pounding.

Why……
