The same Chidori can have vastly different power depending on who wields it.
The seemingly powerful Lightning Release: False Darkness began to annihilate the moment it made contact with Chidori.
Such petty tricks are not even worthy of Kyosuke using Susanoo to fight.
"So you're only at the initial stage of the Kage Level right now? That's too weak."
Ignoring the enemy's ugly expression, Kyosuke moved swiftly and arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye.
"What a fast Body Flicker Technique!" Kakuzu was about to react, he was hit hard in the stomach by a knee, and then his body was involuntarily lifted into the air and slammed hard onto the ground.
Huh? Looking at the enemy's suddenly darkened skin, Kyosuke nodded slightly, thinking that the Hand Seals were formed quite quickly.
Even after taking his knee strike, he was still able to activate the Earth Spear Technique the moment he fell to the ground, completing the hardening of his body. It seems this guy isn't just a master of empty talk.
"Bastard." Seemingly sensing the contempt in his eyes, Kakuzu puffed out his chest and spewed out a terrifyingly compressed whirlwind.
Wind Release: Pressure Damage!
Having completed the hardening of his body, he was no longer afraid of being affected by Ninjutsu.
This is a manipulative tactic that Kakuzu excels at, and with the addition of the Earth Grudge Fear, it becomes even more unexpected when used.
However, he seemed to have forgotten that his opponent was a powerful expert in Space-Time Ninjutsu.
Just as Kyosuke was about to dodge, he suddenly caught a glimpse of two little brats in the distance out of the corner of his eye.
"Sigh, we're too close." He sighed helplessly. Seeing that the wind ball was about to explode, he slowly raised his right hand, Diamond-Shaped Black Mark on his palm shimmered slightly.
Then everyone saw that the incredibly powerful compressed Wind Release had vanished without a trace from Kyosuke's palm.
"It... absorbed it?!" Kakuzu was dumbfounded.
He can accept either the other party's acceptance or avoidance.
After all, he is the God of Shinobi; how could he possibly be defeated by a single Wind Release?
But the other party actually absorbed the Ninjutsu. He had lived for so long and had never heard of anything like it.
No, there's a rumor that there's a Kekkei Genkai that can absorb Ninjutsu, but it's impossible for an Uchiha to use it.
"Want to fight again?" Kyosuke asked, without offering any explanation, but his fist had already landed heavily on Kakuzu's chest.
His physical strength is comparable to Hashirama's, and his power surpasses even Monster Strength's future full-force Tsunade.
How could mere Earth Spear Technique possibly defend against his heavy artillery?
Bang! The ground cracked like a spider web, Kakuzu's body was embedded directly into the ground. His proud Hardening Ninjutsu was completely useless.
No, it should be said that at least he was left with a complete body.
"The second heart." With a kick, he sent Kakuzu flying from the ground. In mid-air, Kakuzu replaced his heart with his third.
"Bastard, bastard, bastard!!!" The man looked extremely angry.
He couldn't understand why, with his incredibly powerful Earth Grudge Fear, he was no match for someone else.
Is it because he hasn't cultivated for long enough?
That's not right, they're both about the same age.
Is the Earth Grudge Fear inferior to the Sharingan of the Uchiha?
But it seems like they haven't even awakened their Sharingan yet.
The harsh reality caused him to lose focus, which was unusual for him.
The result was that the third heart could not escape Kyosuke's Chidori Sharp Spear.
"This is too boring." Unwilling to linger any longer, he unleashed a burst of Chakra beneath his feet, instantly catching up with his opponent who hadn't even landed yet. With a single hand Hand Seals, he casually unleashed a Fireball Jutsu, eliminating the fourth heart.
Now, Beidou Kakuzu is left with only one life.
"Stop, I surrender, please stop fighting." Kakuzu was very pragmatic and knew when to back down.
His abilities are mostly based on Ninjutsu, but when facing enemies who can absorb Chakra, no matter how hard he tries, he can only fail.
Since that's the case, it's best to just admit defeat; maybe then you can get lenient treatment.
There's nothing he can do; he just follows his heart.
"Surrender, huh?" Kyosuke stopped, looking at the other man with a half-smile. "Give me a reason not to kill you."
"I can make money, I can help you make lots and lots of money." Kakuzu unleashed his most powerful skill.
"... Interesting." Faced with the choice between money and Points, Kyosuke hesitated only briefly before choosing the former.
Firstly, Konoha desperately needs financial support right now; secondly, killing Kakuzu now won't yield a particularly large number of Points.
Let's wait ten or twenty years, until the opponent reaches the peak of the Kage Level. Then, we can easily gain tens of thousands of Points with a simple move.
"I can spare your life," Kyosuke promised, before the old chrysanthemum on the other's face could bloom, then added, "But on one condition: you must serve the Uchiha Clan for sixty years."
"Don't refuse. I know what's wrong with you; time isn't actually that important to you."
"Accept it or die. You have five seconds to think it over."
"12345!" In less than a breath, Kyosuke finished counting to five, then raised his right hand and released a powerful Electric Current.
"... Don't do it, I promise you." When you're under someone's roof, Kakuzu have no choice but to bow your head.
"Don't force yourself, I'm not forcing you."
"... Not at all, it is a great honor for Kakuzu to serve you, sir."
I like this sentence.
He waved to signal the convoy to continue, and Kyosuke gestured for the other person to follow him. Then the two of them disappeared into a small grove of trees nearby.
Throughout the event, exclamations of surprise could be heard from Kakuzu every now and then.
"There are too many..."
"I've never tried..."
"No problem, sir, I can do it if you wish..."
Is this okay?
After a long while, Kakuzu finally left, panting. Judging from the flushed excitement on his face, he was clearly very satisfied with his gains.
Beidou wanted to make money for him, Kyosuke naturally wouldn't let this money-making expert slip by for nothing.
His current power is mostly concentrated within the Land of Fire, and his expansion into other countries is not deep enough.
Now that he has Kakuzu, he can open loan companies all over the Shinobi World.
With their own secret backing, they believed that the organization named "Beidou Loan Company" would soon be able to develop.
CEO Kakuzu is quite capable and ruthless, making him perfect for this kind of business.
Who knows, maybe I'll even have a chance to become the richest person in the Shinobi World someday.
"This fight wasn't a waste of time; we gained an extra high-level laborer for nothing."
"I wonder if this guy will use me to brag later, saying that he fought the God of Shinobi for dozens of rounds to a draw."
To be honest, Kakuzu's strength wasn't enough for him to warm up. Kyosuke, who hadn't encountered a suitable opponent in a long time, was somewhat eager for a battle of equal strength.
But it's alright, there are still people in Konoha waiting for him to return.
To complete the charade, how could Yayoi ignore her own master's killer in order to trap the Hashirama brothers?
