The full moon gradually set, and the horizon began to glow faintly.

What should have been a gentle early spring breeze was now surging like a tide.

As the Earth Grudge Fear tentacles whipped down, the 'bang', 'bang' sounds almost merged into one continuous noise.

However, not a single strike landed. Each time, just as it was about to hit, Uchiha Ci would suddenly have a stroke of genius, ducking, flipping sideways, or doing a somersault.

Even without any visibility, he could still dodge the attacks.

"Tch, this unreasonable intuition."

Kakuzu couldn't help but frown, watching Uchiha Ci constantly weaving and dodging, sprinting while fiddling with something unknown in his hands.

He felt this couldn't go on any longer.

He then directly controlled his tentacles to smash a large pit into the cliff face, pulling out huge boulders from the pit and suddenly flinging them towards Uchiha Ci!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The boulders tore through the wind, their surfaces whistling as they hurtled towards him!

This scene made Terumi Mei, watching from outside the barrier, gasp in surprise.

This move was equivalent to over a dozen people consecutively using Earth Style: Rock Barrage, sealing off all escape routes for the opponent, forcing them to take the hit head-on.

However, this was just the beginning.

While Kakuzu controlled his tentacles to hurl boulders, he himself formed the巳 (I) hand seal with both hands.

The next moment, behind him, two masks suddenly crawled out from Kakuzu's back, their bodies trailing blackness, their dark bodies formed from large amounts of Earth Grudge Fear threads, crouching on Kakuzu's shoulders.

These were Kakuzu's Fire Style and Wind Style masks—

With both employed, what was coming was—

Combined Ninjutsu: Flame Wind Wild Wave, Strange Mask Exploding Flame!

This technique could combine the Earth Grudge Fear: Fire Style Mask Monster and the Earth Grudge Fear: Wind Style Mask Monster, using both Fire Style: Headhunter and Wind Style: Piercing Headache simultaneously to create an extremely wide area of fire.

Coupled with Kakuzu's prior move of sealing the path with boulders, in this confined space, Uchiha Ci would have nowhere to escape!

Kakuzu's expression was indifferent, and he immediately pronounced coldly:

"Broke brat, game over!"

As the words fell, his cold palm half-clenched—

BOOM!

The sea of fire surged, and a violent storm raged!

All space was covered by Kakuzu's attack.

At this moment, all that could be seen was sand and dust, giant boulders, scythe-like wind blades, flames crawling like tongues across the ground, and wildly dancing sparks and debris.

In one second, everything would descend!

However, in this hellish panorama, in this despair that broke through the line of sight, strangely, Uchiha Ci felt no fear!

He widened his eyes, as if wanting to record every inch of this apocalyptic scene.

He felt a jolt, like electricity, coursing through his entire body, from head to toe, from fingertips to his heart. Then, this current went from the outside in, drilling fiercely into deeper cells, attempting to open a switch hidden in the depths of the human body.

Dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins surged madly in his brain, bringing Uchiha Ci to the peak of pleasure.

[Talent: Combat Intuition (S) development level increased. You can now use your body more skillfully.]

The next instant, Uchiha Ci lowered his head slightly, glancing at the Earth Grudge Fear threads wrapped around his fingers, and couldn't help but curl his lips.

He raised his head and cast one last look in Kakuzu's direction.

His ten fingers curved slightly, the tips of his fingers arching.

The Tomoe in his Sharingan spun wildly, almost forming a single black line.

His eyes were filled with a madness that gambled everything!

"Bring it on!"

"Come on!"

"Come on!"

"Fight! If you don't fight, you'll be defeated, and the end of fighting is only death!"

"I, who have gambled everything to pursue that moment of death!"

"Will surely achieve my wish here!"

As his words fell, Uchiha Ci closed his eyes.

His Single Tomoe Sharingan couldn't keep up with his fighting speed at this moment.

So he chose to close his eyes and trust his senses.

Trust the battle plan already formulated in his mind.

Then, the first step—

Uchiha Ci took out the remaining four Shuriken, wrapped with silk thread, from his ninja tool pouch, And hurled them fiercely into the sea of fire, giant rocks, and wind blades!

Shing! Shing! Shing! Shing!

The Shuriken cut through the air, pulling four pitch-black silk threads, and embedded themselves firmly into a giant rock flying from a distance.

Then, Uchiha Ci gently pulled with both hands.

The silk threads he had laid down while dodging suddenly straightened from the ground, their intersection point directly beneath Uchiha Ci's feet.

Like a bow drawn to its fullest, ready to release an arrow, Bang!

The giant bow formed by the silk threads provided the initial momentum, shooting Uchiha Ci out like a projectile!

He was like a sharp arrow, diving headfirst into the sea of fire, the ninja silk of the four hurled Shuriken pulling him, changing his direction mid-air.

Spinning his body, He used the giant rock flying towards him as a stepping stone, accelerating continuously!

He darted through the gap between two giant rocks colliding and crushing, Flipped upwards as the violent wind blades exploded towards him, And before the scorching tongues of fire crossed and burned him, he formed a hand seal—

Tiger-Unicorn-Snake!

Wind Style: Gale Wall!

Uchiha Ci wielded a water blade in his right hand, while his left hand pulled the silk thread to control his direction, causing him to spin rapidly in mid-air, twirling the water blade.

He suddenly opened his eyes!

"Is he dead?" Kakuzu squinted slightly, everything in front of him completely covered by the storm and sea of fire.

Coupled with the giant rocks he had thrown to block the path, the opponent should have no escape.

Unless he used a jutsu more powerful than his own, Kakuzu couldn't think of any way the opponent could survive such an assault.

The ninjutsu he used originated from the hearts of the strongest individuals he had hunted over the decades.

Earth Style: Earth Spear, Wind Style: Vicious Crush, Lightning Style: False Darkness, Fire Style: Headhunter, Water Style: Water Curtain.

Five hearts!

The five jutsu he could unleash were all at the peak level in their respective elemental domains!

Kakuzu didn't believe a kid his age would possess such ability.

Therefore, He must be dead, And even if he wasn't, he would be close to death.

Kakuzu turned his head slightly, his gaze icy, sweeping over the three people outside the barrier.

He looked past his current target, Hidan, and Terumi Mei beside him, then turned his gaze in another direction, Towards Shinnosuke, wearing a yellow robe and a calm expression.

Kakuzu couldn't help but squint slightly, pondering what purpose this guy had for standing there.

Would he interfere with his capture of Hidan?

After all, this guy didn't even react when his disciple died right in front of him.

He must be a ruthless and unfeeling person.

And standing opposite Kakuzu, seeing this terrifying combination ninjutsu, Terumi Mei and Hidan couldn't help but swallow hard, their eyes wide with horror.

"This offensive is even more terrifying than that Wind Style from before."

"Uchiha Ci, he..."

Terumi Mei gritted her teeth slightly, her gaze nervously searching within the barrier.

But no matter how she looked, Within this cliffside barrier, besides where Kakuzu stood, all she could see elsewhere

was a sea of raging fire.

Hidan knelt despondently on the tree trunk, gazing at the desperate scene.

As far as the eye could see, there was only--

Fire, fire, fire, Kakuzu, fire, fire, fire.

This man with the black mask, who played with tentacles and ninjutsu, was practically the embodiment of Khorne!

And all he could hear in his ears

was the surging sound of the wind, the roaring of the flames, and from below the cliff, the refugees from the Land of Hot Water, who had suffered heavy casualties due to Kakuzu's ninjutsu, their earth-shattering wails.

Hidan couldn't help but clench his fists tightly, gritting his teeth, his trembling gaze fixed on everything before him.

His eyes couldn't help but well up with tears.

He fiercely shut his eyes, his palms gripping the tree trunk, tears splashing!

Then, with all the strength he had in his life, he roared tragically into the barrier:

"Uchiha Ci!"

"If you're fucking still alive, then for this master--"

"Get out here right now!"

As his wail faded, for a moment, there was only silence, the oppressive flames making even breathing difficult.

However, the next moment, the burning sea of fire suddenly trembled!

As if a cement truck was crashing wildly inside!

Crushed stones, dirt clods, weeds, sparks!

They flew up and tumbled after a rapidly spinning mass of blue, wild blade light swept through!

Suddenly, the wind surged!

A large hole was slashed open in the wall of flames, Uchiha Ci, like an arrow, spun through the air and shot towards Kakuzu's head.

He took a deep breath, gripped his sword with both hands, and swung the water blade, which was accelerating to its limit and already making a squeaking noise, with all his might towards the man's neck!

The blade gleamed like fire, reflecting a pair of cold, emotionless crimson eyes.

Kakuzu's eyes snapped wide open!
