Lightning Release: False Darkness!
Seeing Hawking charge at him, Kakuzu immediately had his lightning mask unleash a high-level Lightning Release ninjutsu.
"Your taijutsu is strong, and you're fast, but can you be faster than lightning?"
Lightning thicker than a thigh shot from the lightning mask's mouth like a massive lightning spear, striking straight at Hawking.
"Interesting, but I don't need to be faster than lightning."
Hawking stopped and pointed ahead.
"Shield Charm!"
A transparent magical barrier immediately appeared before him, directly blocking the thick bolt of lightning.
It was the Shield Charm, one of the most commonly used advanced defensive spells among wizards.
Empowered by the Death God's soul strength, his magic had greatly increased in power, and the Shield Charm's defensive effect had naturally improved considerably as well.
"Maybe... I can use the two of you to test a few things."
After blocking Kakuzu's Lightning Release ninjutsu, Hawking's eyes suddenly shifted as a new idea came to him.
Originally, he had planned to end the battle quickly and take down Hidan and Kakuzu in close combat.
But thinking about it now, even if he took down Hidan and Kakuzu in no time, Naruto and the others probably still would not be able to return to Konoha within an hour, and he would not be able to begin learning Sealing Techniques.
So he might as well use Hidan and Kakuzu to test the effects and power of all his current spells, giving himself a better understanding of them.
Ever since gaining the Death God template, he had conducted plenty of magical experiments, but they had mostly involved everyday spells.
He had never had a suitable test subject for more powerful magic, so he had never gotten the chance to try it.
Hidan and Kakuzu—the immortal duo. Who could be more
