"Watch out, Kakuzu! He's behind you!" Hidan shouted at Kakuzu.
Hearing this, Kakuzu's back split open, and a mass of black tendrils emerged, seemingly trying to block Chen Fan's attack.
"Slash!" Chen Fan cleaved Kakuzu's body in two midair. Just as Chen Fan was about to attack again, a great number of black tendrils burst from the body he had just split apart and tangled together.
"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"
"Water Style: Water Curtain!"
Kakuzu's voice rang out. The black Cloud Robe that Chen Fan had just cut apart fell to the ground, exposing Kakuzu's back. Four mask-like objects were sealed into his back, and his body seemed to have been shattered and stitched together by those black tendrils.
The mouths of two masks opened. Wind Style and Water Style combined, creating a powerful impact that struck Chen Fan.
"Boom!!"
Chen Fan was blasted away like a cannonball, crashing through several massive trees with a series of "Crack! Crack!"
Mei Terumi and the others were shocked. The situation had taken a sudden turn for the worse. Both ninjutsu were extremely powerful, and they had been combined. Chen Fan had taken the attack head-on and was bound to have suffered considerable injuries. And what was with that guy? His body had been cut apart, yet he was still alive. Were these two both unkillable monsters? The people of Akatsuki really were terrifying. The few of them silently recovered their strength.
"Good! That annoying bastard finally got hit! Nicely done, Kakuzu!" Hidan shouted excitedly.
Kakuzu showed no expression, his face having long since stiffened. However, his eyes conveyed his thoughts clearly. Chen Fan could not possibly have been taken down that easily.
That thought was quickly proven right. Chen Fan walked back from where he had been blasted away, still completely unscathed.
