Liutong vs. Immortal Duo (Part 2)

Sunlight filtered through the trees, scattering into dappled patterns that shifted with the breeze, bringing a refreshing coolness.

But no amount of coolness could match the chill in Kakuzu's heart.

In the blink of an eye, Kakuzu found himself frozen in time, locked in a stare-down with the Masked Man.

'How could I be caught in Genjutsu? Move, damn it!'

Kakuzu realized he was completely immobilized, unable to budge. He tried to channel all his Chakra to break free from the Genjutsu, but it was utterly useless.

'A Genjutsu that even Chakra can't break through? Is it because of the Sharingan?'

Looking across, a pair of scarlet Sharingan stared at him and Hidan with amusement, as if they were two fish on a chopping block, waiting to be slaughtered.

'Such powerful Sharingan, such terrifying Genjutsu.'

This person, Kakuzu felt, had to be burned into his memory.

Though he boasted of having five lives and being unkillable, Kakuzu had survived this long by being adaptable.

Now, facing an enemy who could take his life at any moment, he felt a sense of powerlessness akin to facing the Rinnegan of the Leader of Akatsuki.

No, it was even more terrifying.

The strength of the person before him was more bizarre; a mere Genjutsu was enough to claim his life.

Kakuzu wasn't sure about Hidan's situation behind him, but he guessed it was the same as his own.

'Why? Why would I encounter such a strong opponent?'

Kakuzu glared fiercely at the man's mask.

Through his eyes, he saw the Masked Man observing them with great interest, and then suddenly, those eyes seemed to lose their luster, becoming bored?

"Congratulations. You're lucky. Big Boss told me not to kill indiscriminately. Because he doesn't know if this so-called Akatsuki organization is good or bad."

'Big Boss?'

Kakuzu was inexplicably horrified. Was there an even stronger being above this guy?

"Kakuzu, right? You can go."

Glancing at Kakuzu, Liutong's eyes flickered with disinterest, like a child losing a toy.

"But, Hidan, right? You attacked me, and now, as the defendant, you're about to be sent to court. Everything you say next will be used as evidence."

"Oh," Liutong paused, a comical expression appearing on his face. He said smugly, "Forgot to mention, I'm the Plaintiff, the Judge, and the Jury!"

"I now declare you guilty and sentence you to Lifetime Servitude!"

This string of words brought a flicker of despair to Kakuzu.

How could he lose to someone like this?

"However," Liutong's gaze swept back to Kakuzu, saying mockingly, "Before I let you go, let me watch a good show."

"Next, the show begins!"

Kakuzu was astonished to see the Three Tomoe in the Masked Man's eyes spin rapidly, merging into a special shape resembling a Shuriken.

'Mangekyo, just like Itachi's?'

Then, inexplicably, Kakuzu found his body slowly turning backward, unable to control himself.

'Why can't I control my body? And why is my Chakra running wild? Who is this man? What kind of Genjutsu is this?'

This indescribable experience made Kakuzu feel as if physics no longer existed!

How could such a Genjutsu exist?

Turning his head, Kakuzu saw the high-ranking officials of the village he had killed standing alive before him.

Meanwhile, Hidan on the other side was experiencing something similar.

"Now, it's the First Ninja World Martial Arts Championship— no, the First Ninja World Martial Arts Championship Unlimited Battle Tournament!"

Uchiha Liutong jumped onto a large rock nearby, pulled out a bag of chips, and began to excitedly narrate as he ate.

"The contestants on the stage now are Kakuzu from Akatsuki, and Hidan, also from Akatsuki."

"Contestant Kakuzu unleashed his full power right from the start! His body split apart, releasing four pitch-black monsters!"

"Yikes! Are they humans or monsters!"

"Oh? Each of these four monsters possesses a different Attribute. Kakuzu managed to gather five Chakra Attributes this way! What a brilliant idea."

"Now, let's look at the other side!"

"Our criminal, contestant Hidan, is no less impressive. He's just standing there, doing nothing. What is he planning?"

Liutong grinned maliciously and said, "Oh, it seems he wants to test the limits of his Immortality."

"What? He doesn't want to? That's what the Referee wants!"

"Guards, drag that person who just spoke out!"

Don't ask what Kakuzu was feeling at this moment.

He couldn't hear. His five senses were completely controlled. All he wanted was to kill the person in front of him.

This Hidan is indeed top-quality material, still standing tall and proud after Kakuzu's bombardment of five attributes.

"Excellent, the Boss will be very satisfied with this material."

With that, Liutong's voice grew muffled again. "It's a shame, Contestant Kakuzu lost four of his lives. He's about to die now too, so it looks like our tournament has to end here."

"Now then, Genjutsu, release!"

As the words fell, Kakuzu found that the village higher-ups he couldn't kill had suddenly turned into a motionless Hidan.

And he himself was lying on the ground, on the verge of death.

'Completely unable to fight back.'

Muttering this in his heart, Kakuzu closed his eyes in pain, awaiting judgment.

Uchiha Liutong had finished watching the good show and, having eaten six bags of potato chips, jumped down.

He walked to Kakuzu's side and picked up the money box.

Counting it, 3.2 million Ryo.

"Quite a sum of money. In that case, I'll be taking it."

Kakuzu glanced at him, not daring to harbor any resentment.

He was already deeply afraid of this man.

"As a trade, these two are for you. Consider them purchased."

As if to convince Kakuzu, Uchiha Liutong emphasized again, "Watch closely, this is a fair trade. Don't say I'm robbing you."

Something landed on his chest.

Kakuzu opened his eyes and saw two red pills.

'These look familiar. Wait, aren't these the Carefree Pills sold for 200,000 Ryo each at the Gold Exchange?'

Kakuzu shakily picked them up and put them in his mouth, knowing they were life-saving.

He swallowed them in one gulp, feeling a surge of vitality immediately cover his entire body.

Five minutes later, the medicinal effect was complete.

Kakuzu found he could actually stand up.

"Thank you, sir," Kakuzu said most politely.

"Thank yourself. Not attacking me was your greatest stroke of luck. You were close, you know. If you had waited a moment longer, you definitely would have attacked."

Hearing this, Kakuzu broke out in a cold sweat.

Did this person really want his life?

"You can go."

Liutong glanced at him and prepared to let him leave.

Kakuzu glanced at Hidan, who was still standing there blankly, trapped in Genjutsu and unable to break free. He didn't even dare to ask.

"Oh, right."

Liutong's voice suddenly rang out. Kakuzu jumped, truly afraid the other party would go back on his word.

"Don't be scared. I just want to ask, how did you get this money?"

Naruto, who was having barbecue with his teammates and coincidentally ran into Team Ten, suddenly looked at Team Ten's team leader teacher in surprise.

'Teacher Asuma Sarutobi is actually this valuable?'
