Full truth of the immortal river

Chapter 10

Sanemi gasped for breath as the air was knocked out of his lungs upon impact. He crashed hard into the neighboring building, the force sending him tumbling through walls and scattering debris. His vision blurred momentarily as pain coursed through his body, making it difficult to focus.

Struggling to regain his footing, Sanemi forced himself to stand, despite the throbbing ache in his muscles. He slowly steadied his breathing, his gaze fixated on the woman before him. She removed her disguise, revealing an obi sash tied around her waist. The sash extended like writhing tentacles, ready to strike again.

The battle raged on between Sanemi and Yumiko, their movements a blur of precision and power. Sanemi, determined to overcome his adversary, couldn't resist making a remark.

"Yumiko, your skills in hiding are lacking. I found you faster than I expected," Sanemi quipped, a hint of smugness in his voice.

Yumiko's expression twisted into a wicked smile. "Ah, but you're not the Hashira I sensed. The hashiras presence is still elusive to me. But worry not, I will deal with you first."

Kaito held his wife, Hinatsuru, tightly in his arms, savoring the long-awaited reunion. However, his senses alerted him to a disturbance beneath the earth's surface. With a heavy heart, he reluctantly released his grip and spoke with urgency.

"Hinatsuru, I apologize, but you must find a safe place to hide," Kaito pleaded, his voice filled with concern. "There's something lurking underground, and I need to confront it. Please, trust me and stay safe."

Hinatsuru nodded, her eyes reflecting both worry and trust. "Be careful, Kaito. I believe in your strength. Come back to me."

With a final reassurance, Kaito sprinted out into the streets, his keen senses attuned to the faint vibrations emanating from below. He closed his eyes and listened intently, his supernatural hearing enabling him to detect the approaching threat.

As he stood in the midst of the city, Kaito's hearing sharpened, honing in on the rhythmic movements below the surface. With a swift motion, he unsheathed his twin blades from the wraps on his back, their metallic gleam reflecting the determination in his eyes.

Utilizing his unique technique, Stylish Sound, Kaito channelled his energy and unleashed a devastating attack known as Roar. The sheer force of the strike reverberated through the ground, 

Kaito's attack had split the ground open, exposing a vast chamber adorned with obi sashes that sprawled like a tangled spider's web. His eyes widened in surprise as he spotted Team RWBY amidst the chaos, standing at the precipice of danger. With a mix of concern and bewilderment, he called out to them.

"What the hell are you all doing down here? It's not a safe place!" Kaito exclaimed, his voice laced with urgency.

Before anyone could respond, the obi sashes began to writhe and squirm, their movement growing increasingly vicious. Kaito's gaze hardened, and he swiftly assessed the situation. Without hesitation, he tapped into his incredible speed, a hallmark of his Sound Hashira prowess.

In a fraction of a second, Kaito's blades danced through the air, slicing through the obi sashes with unparalleled precision. The ribbons of cloth were reduced to mere fragments before they had a chance to strike. The agility and speed with which he moved left Team RWBY in awe, their eyes widening at the display of his extraordinary skills.

Ruby gasped, her voice filled with astonishment. "He's so fast! Did you see that? It was like he cut through them in an instant!"

Weiss nodded, her expression a mixture of surprise and admiration. "Indeed, his speed is incredible. It's like he's dancing amidst the chaos."
