As soon as Samato walked around the corner, the crack of collapsing stone was heard along the corridor of the castle. With incredible speed, Kaguya, with a crazy expression on his face, pushed off from the cracked floor. Instantly, his silhouette appeared behind Samato, delivering a powerful blow with a fist covered with bone plates.

 

With force, the blow landed on the boy, ready to kill him on the spot, but to Kaguya's inner dissatisfaction, the body in front of him under the influencing force simply shattered into many drops of water. Flying past the shattered body, the man, without losing strength, hit the wall.

 

There was a roar of destruction in part of the castle and one of the walls, unable to withstand the impact, was destroyed, opening a view of the city visible beyond the castle wall. When this happened, Samato appeared behind Kaguya, immediately struck with his palm.

 

"Eight Trigrams: Penetrating Palm"        

 

A plentiful amount of chakra concentrated in the palm of the hand descended on the opponent who began to turn. When a couple of centimeters remained to the target, Kaguya's skin at the point of impact began to be covered with bone plates. At the same time, a bone blade began to form from the man's arm bent at the elbow, which was in a half-turn.

 

The blow that landed on the bone defense did not cause any damage, creating only a fairly significant wave of air capable of knocking ordinary people off their feet. But for Kaguya, whose legs were saturated with chakra, this wave and the force of the blow was nothing, with a crazy smile, he hit Samato with a half-turn.

 

Concentrating as much as possible, the scientist, ignoring the strange feeling, immediately after the blow used a substitute, knowing that the opponent was stronger than him. Disappearing into a cloud of smoke, he appeared a short distance from the collision site, on the next floor, feeling pain in his shoulder. Only one almost all-encompassing look of byakugan and the feelings of his body was enough to see a fairly smooth, deep, bleeding wound in the shoulder of his left arm, which cut the skin, muscles and humerus.

 

It took less than one second to assess his condition, and when the scientist wanted to fold the seal for the medical palm, he abruptly had to jump aside. A moment later, a meter-long bone burst out of the ground at his previous location.

 

Having assessed the situation, Samato rushed to one of the walls of the room where a small window was visible. Breaking the glass with a blow of his right hand, the scientist jumped out. Having flown down a little, he clung to the castle wall and, being in an upright position, began to run towards the tower visible in the distance, at the same time folding the seal of the medical palm, trying to accelerate the regeneration of the wound.

 

Less than a second later, a crash was heard behind him, and the wall with the window from which Samato had run out earlier shattered with a crash, crashing down with a lot of debris. Instantly, the silhouette of a man flew out of the dust formed as a result of the impact.

 

His crazy eyes darted in search of his target, and small drops of blood escaped from the mouth that was previously in a beastly grin. Noticing his target, Kaguya's eyes lit up with a strange gleam. With a new influx of chakra, he rushed towards the boy's blood-stained back with the castle wall collapsing under his feet. Moving at the maximum speed for his current state, Samato was thinking about his possibilities. His thoughts were racing at an incredible speed.                

 

"Until he catches up with me, about a couple of seconds. Help does not won't come, apparently this is the work of Ame. My left arm, with continued treatment, will return to working condition in about a few minutes… It's not good... hmm, I may have to use elemental techniques, but I think I'll do this first..."

 

As his thoughts raced through his mind, Samato watched Kaguya approach. Quickly directing the chakra into his glove, a pack of kunai appeared from it with a cloud of smoke, which were immediately picked up by the chakra threads stretched out from his fingers and launched at the pursuer with a flourish. By that time, he had already reached one of the corner towers of this wing of the castle. Jumping onto it, the scientist accelerated sharply, disappearing around the corner from the field of view of the man's crazy eyes.

 

Turning his hand sharply, quickly breaking away from the treatment and concentrating the chakra with an admixture of the water element, Samato struck dozens of horizontal and vertical blows in front of him, which ended with the last blow in front of him. A blow of concentrated chakra fell from his palm, which took the form of a grid, the lines of which consisted of compressed water, whose edges had incredible cutting force.

 

"Protective Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms"

 

Breaking forward, the net began to expand rapidly, simultaneously cutting into small pieces the walls of the tower. Without stopping, Samato, seeing that Kaguya would appear in a moment, crouched down and quickly began to draw dozens of not very neat symbols on the wall with his blood, which immediately transformed into a seal.

 

By this time, the man who emerged from around the corner was met by a wall of approaching water mesh. The blood that had been slowly flowing out of the corner of his mouth earlier stopped, leaving behind only red marks at the mouth and drops on previously white clothes. This blood and the one that flowed from the wounded shoulder of the boy made him become even more bloodthirsty.

 

Ignoring the net, Kaguya rushed forward, swinging the bone blade in front of him. To his surprise and new discontent, the wall did not give in, slowing the man down and leaving several paresis on the bones.

 

Cursing inwardly, he did not take the opportunity to bypass the network, and struck with renewed force in front of him. His bone blade, with the noise of the wind, descended on the net, instantly destroying it and sending an arc-shaped wind stream that cut through part of the wall, leaving a five-meter cut.

 

Retreating a little to the side, Samato only chuckled to himself, seeing the hole less than a meter away from him. Quickly throwing everything aside and gathering himself, he saw that the opponent rushed to him, forcibly folded the seal with his wounded hand.

 

Instantly, stripes consisting of many symbols appeared on the ground, which moved like snakes, clinging to the man who approached the boy and began to swing for a blow, forcing him to freeze on the spot. Seizing the opportunity, Samato, whose hand was imbued with chakra, abruptly moved forward.

 

An illusory yin yang symbol appeared under him and the man, from which many circles diverged. Concentrating the flow of chakra in two outstretched fingers, Samato began a series of blows.

 

"Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms" 

 

A strong wave of air emanated from each blow, causing the dust hovering in the area, from the techniques previously used by Samato and Kaguya, to fly apart, and a lot of cracks formed in the wall under their feet, from the constantly increasing force of blows.

 

A moment later, accompanied by a gust of wind, the last powerful blow of the palm landed on the man's body. He was stronger than all the previous ones and caused the seal holding Kagyu to collapse, scattering into bundles of chakra and drops of blood. The man himself flew dozens of meters away, crashing into the ground.

 

Looking towards the body that had flown away, Samato was breathing heavily. His reserves, already spent a little on installing the barrier, have fallen to a minimum. The only positive thing at the moment was a hand regenerating almost before our eyes and restoring endurance with every breath.  

 

"Well, I expected something like that..."

 

As soon as this thought flashed through Samato's mind, a silhouette appeared behind him, who immediately hacked, trying to cut off his head. When the bone blade had almost landed on the scientist's neck, he felt a strange suction feeling again on the edge of consciousness. It was so insignificant that if Samato had not possessed incredible control of energy for a ninja, he would not have noticed it once.

 

Ignoring the blade that had almost fallen on his neck, the scientist tried to determine the source of this feeling. But it abruptly disappeared as soon as another silhouette appeared next to Samato, who stretched out his hands saturated with an incredible amount of chakra in front of the blade, releasing a stream of chakra in his direction.

 

In the next moment, Samato felt a collision next to his ear, which almost concussed him. A gust of air caused his small body to fly off to the side. The walls damaged as a result of the previous collision collapsed.

 

After flying a few meters towards the ground, Samato, trying not to pay attention to the ringing in his ears and the pain, grouped himself, landing. Immediately after that, gritting his teeth, he jerked to the side, avoiding the massive pieces of the previously standing castle tower falling from above.
