A Battlefield Wager
This weakling dared to boast about killing him, which made the elder both laughable and furious. He, the ruler of the Uzumaki Clan, was not someone that could be looked down upon by such a person.
However, the Grand Elder had no intention of continuing to play with this guy. The bud was making more and more noise, and the red light was getting stronger and stronger, as if it was about to succeed at any moment. He needed to deal with this black guy and those two brats as soon as possible.
With a flash, the elder clansman charged straight at Black Zetsu. The elder clansman wanted to end the battle quickly, so he did not hold back and was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he crossed more than ten meters and fiercely attacked Black Zetsu.
With his right fist clenched, the elder threw a punch at Black Zetsu. In his opinion, Black Zetsu had no chance of dodging his attack, and this punch could also smash his head. The elder did not believe that this guy in front of him would be unharmed after his head was smashed again.
But the elder was destined to be disappointed. Black Zetsu raised his eyes slightly and clenched his right fist, unleashing a lightning-fast punch.
"What!"
Seeing the Black Zetsu, the elder of the clan instinctively exclaimed in surprise.
The next second, their fists collided heavily like falling meteorites. With a loud bang, a violent force erupted, and the elder screamed as he was sent flying backward, like a kite with a broken string being blown away by the wind.
The elder clansman crashed to the ground like a falling meteorite, causing a small explosion. In the smoke, the elder clansman clutched his aching chest and spat out a large amount of blood with a "pfft".
Staring at Black Zetsu in the distance, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. He said, "How is this possible? How could your strength and speed suddenly increase so much?"
Even secret techniques that can temporarily boost strength couldn't have such a massive effect. One second he was completely dominating Black Zetsu with one hand, the next Black Zetsu was sending him flying with a single hand—the difference wasn't just a few times, it was dozens of times.
These two White Zetsu were the same as the ones Yemo encountered in the passage last night—massive creatures several meters tall, whose enormous size caused the ground to tremble slightly when they ran.
"Same as always, one for each of us," Yemo said, glancing at Kakashi as they divided the items.
Kakashi suddenly turned his head and said, "This won't do. How about we both take a gamble?"
Yemo said with interest, "A bet? Sure, but there has to be a way to bet. How about this, we'll decide the winner based on when we defeat White Zetsu. Whoever kills White Zetsu wins."
"Okay," Kakashi nodded in agreement, then suddenly added, "However, since it's a bet, we need a prize."
Upon hearing the word "prize, "Yemo's eyes lit up. He was a poor man, while Kakashi was a rich second-generation. This kind of land redistribution was a rare occurrence.
"What kind of prize? Tell me, I won't agree to anything too low." Since we finally have a chance to rip off Kakashi, we have to go all out.
After thinking for a moment, Kakashi smiled and said, "I've got it! Let's use Explosive Tag as the wager. Whoever loses has to hand over five hundred Explosive Tag."
Five hundred sheets?!
Yemo was startled by the prize Kakashi mentioned. Five hundred Explosive Tag was a huge sum of money. You should know that an Explosive Tag costs one thousand taels of silver, so five hundred Explosive Tag would be a full five hundred thousand taels of silver.
This number may not be a large number for Yemo, but it is a very large number for Yemo. He has never seen what 500,000 taels of silver looks like.
Unlike Kakashi, Yemo Mo was penniless, practically penniless. He couldn't even come up with 10,000 taels of silver, let alone 500,000.
However, Yemo still agreed to the wager without hesitation, "Okay, five hundred Explosive Tag it is."
Although he doesn't have the 500,000 taels of silver now, he will after completing this mission. This mission is S-rank, and the reward for its completion is over a million taels of silver. At that time, he will be able to come up with the 500,000 taels.
Furthermore, Yemo never felt he would lose; the more Kakashi talked, the more excited he became, and in the end, he won more and more.
The two exchanged a glance, and a smug smile appeared on their lips simultaneously. Their eyes and expressions made it seem as if two old foxes were scheming against each other.
The next second, the two rushed out almost simultaneously. This was not only about 500,000 taels of silver, but also a confrontation from the side. Both wanted to defeat White Zetsu as quickly as possible to determine who was stronger.
"Body Flicker Technique!"
Yemo had long since mastered this Ninjutsu, and he unleashed it almost instantly, appearing above White Zetsu's head in a flash.
Yemo gripped the Kunai tightly in his backhand, his body crackling with lightning. His Lightning Release Chakra Shape Transformation streaks of lightning, flowing across the Kunai like silver snakes.
Noticing Yemo above him, White Zetsu quickly raised his right hand and slashed at Yemo, the sharp barbs on his arm gleaming coldly.
Yemo's kunai collided Kunai White Zetsu's right arm in mid-air. With a whoosh, Yemo's Kunai easily severed White Zetsu's right hand in two. Enhanced by Lightning Release Chakra, Yemo's Kunai far more powerful and sharper than before.
The White Zetsu monster felt no pain; its right hand, severed in two, showed no reaction. Instead, it raised its left hand to grab Yemo. Yemo White Zetsu dodged the attack with a turn, then spun around and delivered a spinning kick to the White Zetsu's chin. The massive creature White Zetsu sent flying several meters away before crashing heavily to the ground with a thud, demonstrating the immense power of Yemo's kick.
"Alright, I'll finish you off in one move!" With that, Yemo revealed a smug smile, as if he could already see Kakashi losing to him with five hundred Explosive Tag.
Si-wei-shen-hai-wu-yin, the six ninja seals were quickly completed in Ye Mo's hands. Basically, this ninjutsu was used in every battle. Yemo was already very familiar with this ninjutsu.
After completing the hand seals, Yemo brought two fingers together to his lips, took a deep breath, and actually gathered a large amount of Fire Release Chakra in his mouth. Yemo opened his mouth and exhaled, and the Fire Release Chakra Shape Transformation, and an extremely thick flame shot out from Yemo's mouth, burning towards the White Zetsu who had fallen to the ground.
The flames moved incredibly fast, like a fire demon wielding sharp claws, ready to devour everything in its path. White Zetsu crashed to the ground and unleashed an extremely powerful hurricane from its mouth.
Immediately to Yemo's astonishment, the powerful hurricane actually blew away the flames that Yemo had spewed out, scattering them into hundreds of clumps that fell to the ground and slowly dissipated.
"This White Zetsu actually knows Wind Release Ninjutsu!"
Despite his surprise, Yemo reacted quickly and nimbly dodged the oncoming hurricane. However, his expression and gaze towards the White Zetsu in front of him became slightly more serious. A White Zetsu who knew Ninjutsu was much more difficult to deal with than one Ninjutsu did not.
Suddenly, a flash of azure lightning appeared beside him. Yemo turned his head to look and saw that the White Zetsu that Kakashi was dealing with had spat out a bolt of lightning. Although it did not hit Kakashi, it exploded next to Kakashi. The shockwave from the explosion sent Kakashi flying several meters away, making him look quite disheveled.
Seeing Kakashi's disheveled appearance, Yemo couldn't help but laugh, "It seems that half of these five hundred Explosive Tag are already in my pocket."
Kakashi spat out the dirt he'd swallowed and retorted, "You're dreaming too much. Those five hundred Explosive Tag are mine."
With that, Kakashi drew his White Fang and charged forward. Infused with Chakra, the White Fang in Kakashi's hand emitted a dazzling white light, and Wind Release Chakra vibrated at the blade.
Kakashi charged straight at White Zetsu, slashing out with his White Fang in a backhand motion. White Zetsu's right leg was easily cut in two. White Fang was already sharp, and with the added Wind Release Chakra, its sharpness was enough to shatter gold and silver.
Losing a leg, White Zetsu crashed heavily to the ground with a thud. Kakashi grabbed the barbs on White Zetsu's body, leaped onto White Zetsu's back, and swung his White Fang straight at White Zetsu's neck.
White Zetsu's neck was naturally not as hard as gold or silver. Kakashi wielded White Fang and slashed down, splitting White Zetsu's neck in two. The round head rolled several meters along the sloping ground before hitting a rock and coming to a stop.
"Looks like I won, Yemo. Those five hundred Explosive Tag are mine," Kakashi said smugly, turning to look at Yemo.
