Of course, Kakuzu was certain of one thing: the source of danger he felt was not the three brats entangled with his clones before him.
"Then, that means..."
As his thoughts raced, Kakuzu began searching for Kakashi's whereabouts.
Kakashi had not hidden himself. He had merely had Naruto and the others draw Kakuzu's attention.
By then, Kakashi's ninjutsu was nearly ready.
The moment Kakuzu noticed Kakashi, his gaze was immediately drawn to the crimson Mangekyō Sharingan in the other man's eye.
"That's a Mangekyō Sharingan like Shisui Uchiha's? How is that possible?! Why does Kakashi Hatake have such an eye?"
The storm raging in Kakuzu's heart at that moment was beyond words.
Although the name Sharingan Kakashi was well known throughout the Ninja World, anyone with even a little knowledge knew it merely meant Kakashi possessed an ordinary Sharingan.

Though he did not know what Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan could do, he had heard that before Orochimaru defected from the Akatsuki Organization, he had been defeated by Shisui.
Moreover, it was said that Orochimaru had ambushed Shisui in that battle, only to be killed in return!

It merely meant that the ninjutsu Kakashi was about to use could absolutely threaten the life of Kakuzu, who had consumed Hero Water!
Suddenly, Kakuzu realized something. Startled, he immediately shifted
