Chapter 309

Thinking of this, Pain of the Heavenly Way clasped his hands together and roared: "Earth Style: Meteor!"

Immediately, a small black sphere shot from his palm and floated in midair.

Kimimaro, seeing this, was confused; just as he prepared to attack, the black sphere emitted a powerful gravitational pull.

Instantly, Kimimaro and the ground around him were flung into the air.

Kimimaro tried to descend, but had no way to do so—he only drew closer to the black sphere.

Finally, boom! boom! boom!

Kimimaro was buried under countless rocks, becoming a massive meteor in the sky.

After completing this, Pain of the Heavenly Way remained where he stood.

Meanwhile, Nagato, hiding in the shadows, gasped heavily—this technique had drained much of his chakra.

It had also worsened his illness considerably.

Still, eliminating one enemy was not bad.

Next, then, it would be other locations.

Meanwhile, Kakuzu was fighting with extraordinary ease.

He did not yet know that the immortal man had already died.

At this moment, he had already crushed Goju beneath his foot.

He need only fight from a distance—close combat might be beyond him.

But at range, he was still strong, while this pitiful opponent had only a few ranged techniques.

It was only natural he'd been killed—his attacks were far too simplistic.

Yet, why did this heart feel so strange?

It felt as if it might explode.

Kakuzu carefully examined the heart in his hand, then dropped it to the ground.

The heart pulsed with vitality, giving a powerful, vigorous impression.

But this heart could not be used by him—what a pity.

Kakuzu helplessly dropped the heart on the ground and stepped on it before leaving.

In his view, without a heart, this pitiful ninja was dead—beyond any doubt.

Yet, after he had gone far away, Goju slowly opened his eyes, dazed, and saw his own heart before him.

Goju quickly shoved the heart back into his abdomen.

With the aid of natural energy, his heart began gradually reforming.

This was a secret technique Shi Yuan had taught him, meant to save his life in critical moments.

Though not as terrifying as Hidan's, he could still survive.

He had merely suffered severe injuries.

At the same time that Goju was grievously wounded, the battle between Kisame and Suigetsu, though not outright crushing, made the outcome painfully obvious.

Kisame, as Suigetsu's senior and the first genius to leave the village,

was far stronger than Suigetsu.

Even though Suigetsu had reached the Shadow Level,

in combat technique and chakra reserves, he was entirely at a disadvantage.

The reason he could hold his own against Kisame

was simply because Kisame had not yet taken him seriously!
