Trap, Reverse Four Symbols Sealing!

At this moment, the Raikage A, his entire body wreathed in violent Lightning Release, did not slow his charge in the slightest!

Seizing the perfect opening Kakashi had created, a terrifying gleam burst from his eyes.

"Nicely done, Kakashi of Konoha!"

The Raikage's roar rolled like thunder as he poured every last ounce of his strength into his clenched iron fist.

The force of ten thousand tons condensed at a single point, finally catching the tiny flaw Kakuzu had exposed in his hasty defense.

The point on his chest where his defenses had momentarily weakened due to the imbalance in his chakra flow!

"Bang!!!"

A dull, heart-stopping impact rang out!

Kakuzu's body, covered in grotesque tentacles, was struck head-on as though by a battering ram. He flew backward like a cannonball once more, smashing viciously into the ground and kicking up a sky full of dust.

Even the Earth Grudge Fear tentacles covering his body twitched and convulsed violently as if they had been electrocuted.

As the dust gradually settled, Kakashi Hatake landed firmly like a javelin.

He lowered his stance slightly, his scarlet Sharingan beneath his forehead protector coldly sweeping over the fallen Kakuzu and the several masked monsters stirring beside him. His gaze was razor-sharp.

The two experienced fighters both understood that even this mountain-shattering punch was not enough to truly finish off this monster.

Sure enough, the next instant, the masked monster marked with the character for "earth" swiftly burrowed into Kakuzu's fallen body like a loach.

Immediately afterward, a series of cracking sounds rang out as bones shifted and reassembled.

Kakuzu's body twisted into an extraordinarily bizarre posture. Amid the mad writhing of the Earth Grudge Fear tentacles, he actually stood back up once again!

For the first time, clear shock appeared on his scarred face
