MM Racing Chapter 135 Counterattack
Chapter 135 Counterattack
Seeing Jiraiya's unguarded back, Momoshiki sneered. Then, he raised the Rasengan in his hand and mercilessly smashed it down towards Jiraiya's back.
Jiraiya felt a bad feeling at that moment, and the hairs on his body stood on end. A strong tremor surged in his heart.
Although Jiraiya didn't see the source of the attack, his years of combat instincts made him subconsciously shift his body slightly to the side, thus avoiding the Rasengan's vital points.
Despite Jiraiya's attempt to dodge, he was still hit in the back by Momoshiki's Rasengan.
The immense force of the Rasengan blasted Jiraiya away, his body crashing heavily into a large tree in the distance.
With a loud crash, the tree snapped in two, its broken trunk and leaves scattering across the ground.
Jiraiya's body eventually fell into a stream, splashing water everywhere. He lay in the stream, completely soaked and looking quite disheveled.
Jiraiya, despite his injuries, struggled to sit up from the stream. His body trembled slightly, and he seemed to be struggling. He then muttered to himself, "Has Momoshiki taken over Boruto's consciousness again? This is not good."
Now, not only do they have to deal with two members of the Akatsuki organization, but they also have to safely remove Boruto, whose consciousness has been taken over, from this place, making the situation increasingly difficult.
"It seems... that's the only option." With that thought, Jiraiya dragged his injured body out of the stream and onto the bank, where he sat cross-legged and began forming hand seals.
......
Momoshiki seemed a little excited at this moment because the "wedge" he had carved into Boruto's body was almost completely analyzed and he had reached the final stage.
Once he takes this final step, he will be able to completely suppress Boruto's consciousness, complete the reincarnation, and obtain Boruto's body.
Kakuzu, who was standing in front of Momoshiki, witnessed Boruto's sneak attack on Jiraiya from behind, which made him frown and feel somewhat surprised.
Although I don't understand why they would stage such a show, seeing its power makes me not want to fake it.
Kakuzu sneered at Momoshiki: "Heh, I didn't expect you brat to have the potential to become a rogue ninja. You can even attack your comrade who stood up to help you without batting an eye."
Momoshiki's gaze swept coldly over Kakuzu, and then he spoke coldly: "Don't compare me to you lowly insects."
Kakuzu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. He noticed that the brat in front of him had become even colder and more arrogant, as if he had been a completely different person just a moment ago.
Boruto's injuries from Hidan's curse are slowly healing.
As time went on, the Wedge's power within him was repairing the damaged tissue on its own, the wounds were gradually healing, and the pain was gradually lessening.
"You've suffered such serious injuries but act like nothing happened. Are you just putting on an act?" Hidan grinned wickedly, brandishing his three-month scythe and throwing it at Momoshiki. However, Momoshiki simply stretched out one hand and firmly grasped the sharp scythe blade.
Before Hidan could react, Momoshiki vanished from the spot like a phantom.
When Momoshiki reappeared, he was already behind Hidan, swinging Hidan's Bloody Three-Month Scythe in his hand.
Hidan's expression was somewhat blank. In that instant, he lost all sensation in his body and then realized that the whole world was moving upwards. When he came to his senses, he found that his head had been severed cleanly by Momoshiki with his own weapon.
The moment Kakuzu appeared, he was already aware of the sudden change in the situation. Without hesitation, he immediately commanded his Lightning Release Masked Monster to launch an attack.
Kakuzu uttered a low shout: "Lightning Release: False Darkness!" With his command, the Lightning Release masked monster responded swiftly, spewing out a dazzling beam of lightning from its mouth, heading straight for Momoshiki.
Kakuzu never expected that this kid's strength had increased so much. Although Hidan's physical strength was not strong, he was able to cut off his head so easily.
Facing the incoming lightning beam, Momoshiki hurled the Bloodstained March Scythe in his hand directly at it.
The scythe spun in the air, colliding with the lightning beams and unleashing a deafening roar, sending sparks flying.
However, the scythe's strength was no match for the destructive power of the lightning beam, and it was eventually blasted away, spinning as it flew into the distance before crashing into the ground with a dull thud.
Kakuzu kept a close eye on Momoshiki, knowing that his opponent was not to be underestimated. So he quickly adjusted his tactics, formed hand seals, and prepared to launch the next ninjutsu.
"Wind Release: Pressure Damage!" Kakuzu shouted, and with his command, a huge high-pressure wind ball was quickly released from the mouth of the Wind Release masked monster.
The whirlwind rapidly expanded in the air, forming a violent vortex of wind blades that mercilessly swept away everything in its path.
The vortex-like storm swept towards Momoshiki, emitting a sharp whistling sound, as if it wanted to devour Momoshiki.
Momoshiki flashed away, instantly escaping the Wind Release Masked Monster's attack range.
Hidan's head wasn't so lucky. He was blown into the air by the aftershock of the wind blade, and several deep wounds were cut into his face, from which blood began to flow.
Hidan couldn't help but complain, "Hey! Watch out, Kakuzu! I'm stuck here!" He was dissatisfied that Kakuzu's attack range didn't take his position into account.
Although he is immortal, he still feels pain, especially now that his head has been cut off.
Kakuzu coldly responded to Hidan's complaint: "If that's the case, then don't let others cut off your head so easily."
Kakuzu extended numerous black threads from his arm, directly wrapping around Hidan's head, which was spinning in the air. With a forceful tug, Kakuzu pulled Hidan's head back to his side and held it in his hand.
Momoshiki witnessed Hidan's head still being able to speak despite losing his body, and couldn't help but show a surprised expression. He said softly, "An immortal body, huh? Interesting."
Hidan seemed slightly pleased with himself, his words filled with pride: "Needless to say? This is a reward bestowed upon us believers by the Jashin-sama."
Hidan continued, his voice brooking no argument: "Hey, Kakuzu, hurry up and reattach my head!"
"Ouch! That hurts!" Hidan's words did not get a response from Kakuzu. Instead, he felt a tugging sensation in his hair.
Hidan then softened his tone: "Kakuzu, I didn't mean to order you, I just wanted to ask you for a favor, please, Kakuzu."
"Fire Release: Head Hardening!" With Kakuzu's command, a large swath of raging flames erupted from the mouth of the Earth Grudge Fear: Fire Release Masked Monster. The flames surged like a tsunami, covering a vast area.
The flames spread rapidly after landing, forming a sea of fire that continued to expand its burning range, engulfing everything in its path, and the entire forest began to burn.
At the same time, Kakuzu's other masked monsters also sprang into action, surrounding Momoshiki. The masked monsters each used different ninjutsu to attack Momoshiki from all directions.
Kakuzu took advantage of this opportunity to move Hidan's head to the side of his body.
He then bent down and plunged one of his tentacle arms deep into the ground, while using his other hand to straighten Hidan's head and stitch up his wounds.
Momoshiki's body had already lifted off the ground and floated into the air, while at that moment, the Lightning Release Masked Monster used a large tree nearby for leverage, leaped up, and relentlessly chased after Momoshiki.
Momoshiki's gaze was cold. Facing the approaching masked monster, he raised his palm, concentrated his chakra, and formed a Rasengan with surging energy.
Before the Lightning Release Masked Monster could even unleash its attack, the Rasengan had already completely engulfed it with overwhelming force, reducing it to nothingness.
Momoshiki gripped the Rasengan tightly and hurled it downwards with tremendous force, slamming it directly into the ground.
As the Rasengan violently struck the ground, the shockwave rapidly spread outwards, forming a storm that sent the other two masked monsters flying, eventually crashing heavily to the ground some distance away.
Kakuzu, who had already stitched Hidan's head back together, felt a violent tremor run through his body, realizing that another of his hearts had been destroyed by that brat.
Kakuzu no longer hesitated and led Hidan to a spot on the ground where a large mass of his tentacles was wriggling.
Kakuzu manipulated his tentacles, slowly retracting them into the ground, revealing the objects hidden beneath.
As the tentacles receded, a familiar pattern gradually appeared before their eyes—the cursed array that Hidan had drawn using Boruto's blood.
Kakuzu had previously used his tentacles to penetrate deep into the ground, and then used the Earth Spear Technique to strengthen these tentacles, making them strong enough to withstand external impacts.
He then wrapped and protected the array drawn by Hidan, ensuring that it would not be destroyed by the powerful energy waves generated when any ninjutsu was unleashed.
At that moment, Momoshiki's figure suddenly appeared in Kakuzu and Hidan's field of vision.
At the same time, the two masked monsters received Kakuzu's command and quickly retreated from a distance to behind Kakuzu, assuming a protective stance.
Then the two masked monsters approached each other, their bodies gradually intertwining, and after a period of twisting and deformation, their outlines began to merge.
Gradually, a larger and more powerful single entity formed, and this newly formed entity inherited the power of the two masked monsters.
Hidan, his emotions running high, confronted Momoshiki, angrily shouting, "You bastard! Don't you know how painful it is to have your head chopped off? Bastards like you who don't understand pain! God will punish you!"
Hidan then reached out and touched the left side of his clothes, pulling out a jet-black spear about 20 centimeters long.
Kakuzu spoke coldly, "Stop wasting time talking to him. Let's get started. Remember not to pierce his heart; I still have a use for him." At this point, Hidan had already completed the ritual and felt he no longer needed to intervene.
"Understood!" Hidan didn't argue with Kakuzu as usual. He gripped the black spear tightly and stepped into the center of the magic circle.
"Come on! Experience the best pain with me!" Hidan then pointed the tip of his spear at his abdomen without hesitation, forcefully stabbing it in, and then began to slowly rotate and twist it.
Immediately afterward, a twisted sense of satisfaction appeared on Hidan's face. His eyes were bloodshot as he enjoyed some indescribable pleasure.
At the same time, as Hidan made his strange move, Momoshiki also felt the backlash of the curse.
Although Momoshiki's abdomen was not directly injured, his clothes began to be stained red with blood, which continued to ooze from the area he was covering.
Hidan slowly pulled the black spear out of his body.
With a mocking smile, he said provocatively to Momoshiki, "You're quite agile, aren't you? Now, let's see if your reaction speed is faster, or if I can pierce my heart with this spear faster."
Momoshiki frowned slightly at Hidan's provocation, quickly assessing the current situation.
At the critical moment when Hidan swung his black spear, intending to pierce his heart, Momoshiki did not hesitate. He raised his hand and opened a portal in front of himself.
Just as Hidan was fully focused on launching his attack, a portal suddenly appeared behind him.
Boruto emerged from the portal, reached out and grabbed Hidan's elbow, twisting it forcefully to snatch the black spear from Hidan's hand, stopping Hidan's attack.
Kakuzu saw Hidan's mistake and immediately activated the tentacles hidden within his body. These tentacles extended from his body and stabbed straight towards Hidan, aiming directly at Hidan's heart.
"Don't forget I'm here!" With this shout, Jiraiya's figure suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
Just as Kakuzu's tentacles were about to touch Hidan's heart, Jiraiya used the Frog Kyuubi to strike Kakuzu's body directly. The powerful impact caused Kakuzu's body to involuntarily fly back several steps.
After forcing Kakuzu back, Jiraiya did not stop his actions. He quickly adjusted his posture and turned his attention to Hidan inside the magic circle.
Immediately afterwards, Jiraiya kicked Hidan hard, and Hidan's body was pushed by the force, along with Boruto, and forced out of the range of the magic circle.
Jiraiya's appearance has changed. His eyes have become frog-like pupils, and his face is covered with bumps. On each of his shoulders sits an imposing toad.
Fukasaku scrutinized the boy with the peculiar horn before him, Boruto, with a hint of surprise: "Is this the special person prophesied by the Great Toad Sage?"
