Chapter 712: Overwhelming Might!
"Kazekage-san…"
The moment Orochimaru said those words, Kimimaro got into action. Even though Fujin's existence had forced Orochimaru to change his plans, if Rasa didn't cooperate, he had no reason to leave him alive. If the talks didn't go as planned, he asked Kimimaro to attack if he said those words.
Kimimaro's fingertips parted without making any sound. Since Rasa and his subordinates weren't aware of his background, no one suspected anything. However, the instant Kimimaro's hands moved to point his fingertips at them, all four Anbu ninjas stared at his hands. After all, the four of them could be considered elites among elites in Sunagakure. They wouldn't miss such an obvious movement no matter how stealthy it might have been.
However, none of them anticipated that Kimimaro would shoot bones from his fingertips. Rasa wasn't an exception either. Unlike his guards, he didn't dare to take his eyes off Orochimaru. That proved to be a mistake as Kimimaro fired 6 bones at Rasa and one each at his 4 subordinates.
"Careful, Kazekage-sama!" The four Anbu guards immediately got into action. In a flash, kunai appeared in their hands. They dodged the bones aimed at them and moved to block the bones aimed at Rasa. Unfortunately, the bones were too fast for them.
Just as the six bones were about to hit Rasa, they froze in the air. Surprise appeared on Kimimaro's face. He focused on his bones and realized, 'Gold particles? How did he stop my attacks with so little gold?'
Rasa thought, 'I should've known. We can't trust this snake!'
Unfortunately, before Rasa could make a move, Orochimaru opened his mouth and exhaled poisonous gas at Rasa and his guards. Under normal circumstances, Rasa and the rest would have easily dodged it. However, Kimimaro's attack had distracted them. Coupled with how close the two sides were to each other, they didn't have a chance to dodge and were engulfed by purple smoke.
In the blink of an eye, all five Suna ninjas flickered backwards while holding their breaths. One of the Anbu ninjas asked, "Kazekage-sama, are you fine?"
