Earth Grudge Fear

"No... that's not right!"

Kakuzu's expression changed instantly.

He saw the sturdy trees sprouting from the ground beside Kanami and immediately realized the problem.

Wood Release!

He fought the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, a long time ago and survived!

From then on, he understood even more clearly the power of Wood Release.

In the Shinobi World, there is another Konoha Ninja who possesses Wood Release, named "Aka". The Redhead in front of us is also Konoha Ninja who uses Wood Release!

"Isn't 'Red' your real name?"

Kakuzu cried out in panic.

"How many of the renowned names in the Shinobi World are actually their real names?"

Kanami said calmly.

He slightly raised his index finger, and instantly the ground bulged up, with several thick trees breaking through the ground and sweeping towards the two of them.

"Whispering sound!"

Hidan stared at the trees attacking him and swung his scythe with all his might.

"Clang--!"

A crisp sound rang out.

Hidan was momentarily stunned.

Why does cutting down trees produce a sound like chopping...?

"Puff--"

"Puff puff puff--"

Before he could finish speaking, a thick tree trunk pierced through his body, leaving several large holes in his abdomen.

Even so, the trees continued to grow.

They managed to force Hidan's body, which had been Hidan pierced, to a high altitude, where it remained suspended in the air.

"Pah, hahaha, I'm not going to die."

"The Lord Jashin will always protect me!"

Hidan, who had been pierced through, laughed loudly in mid-air, and despite the blood gushing from his abdomen, he seemed quite energetic.

Hidan!

Kakuzu, standing nearby, shouted as he dodged.

He was also feeling unwell.

Compared to the Brawler Hidan, he was relatively more cautious, especially after learning that his opponent was Akane, he became more cautious than ever before.

He only has five hearts, which means he only has five lives. Unlike Hidan, who is protected by the Jashin and cannot die, he only starves to death when his source of nutrition is cut off.

"Quite good at dodging."

Kanami lowered his left hand and instantly clenched it into a fist.

"Boom--"

In an instant, the surging trees changed their tactics.

It appeared directly Kakuzu and shot straight into the sky!

At the same time, the trees expanded, and the already small gaps were covered in an instant.

"Hateful!"

Kakuzu roared, and two black, line-like creatures crawled out of his body, their faces wearing strange masks.

"The Earth Grudge Fear Model."

Two black, lined creatures perched on his left and right shoulders, respectively.

He immediately used his strongest move to avoid having no chance to strike!

Even so, his five hearts continued to beat rapidly.

He had absolutely no confidence, just like when he faced the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju; merely looking at him made him tremble all over.

As the trees finished climbing, they instantly began to press towards Kakuzu.

"It's too late!"

Kakuzu had no time to think about anything else, such as whether using Fire Style in this small space surrounded by trees would burn him with his own Ninjutsu.

He only knew that if he didn't take a gamble now, he might never have another chance.

Fire Style: Searing Migraine!

"Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"

The two black, line-like creatures on Kakuzu's shoulders suddenly opened their mouths from behind their masks.

The one on the left spews flames from its mouth, while the one on the right releases powerful wind pressure from its mouth!

The combination of the two creates a wider and more ferocious coordinated offensive.

"Combined Ninpō: Flame Wind Turbulence!"

"Boom--"

The massive Sea of Fire created by the combined Ninpō bombarded the gradually shrinking trees!

"Break through!"

Kakuzu roared, and his clothes were instantly engulfed in Sea of Fire.

But he couldn't care less about any of that!

All he knew was that if they couldn't escape, even five hearts wouldn't help!

"Boom--Sizzle--Sizzle..."

However, even with his most powerful attack, the Earth Grudge Fear Mode, he still couldn't break through the trees summoned by Kanami; it only burned the lush green trees in front of him.

However, in the next second, these scorched trees surged several meters!

The trees that had blocked Kakuzu instantly transformed into newly sprouted trees.

Kakuzu's clothes had been burned to pieces by the Sea of Fire, and some of the clothing was even stuck to his body and burning.

He couldn't feel the physical pain; all he felt was despair!

They're going to die! They couldn't even withstand a single blow?!

Kakuzu stood there, slowly raising his head to look at the sky.

This is the only place where light can shine in.

Looking at the trees clustered together, he saw them forming what appeared to be the mouth of a well.

Suddenly, a smile crept onto his face, "Just like when I fought the God of Shinobi back then, I was just a frog in a well..."

Kanami, who was outside, remained unmoved, but clenched his fist tightly.

"Boom--"

The trees suddenly expanded and compressed!

Crush Kakuzu inside!

The rumbling sound was accompanied by the cracking sound of bones being crushed.

"Kakuzu...? Kakuzu!"

Hidan, still hanging high in the sky, stared blankly at the blood splattered from the pile of trees and some black threads.

If it were just blood, his reaction wouldn't be so strong.

As a teammate, he knew very well that Kakuzu's internal body was completely replaced by black threads, including his blood vessels, so the amount of blood flowing out would not be much.

But upon seeing the black lines that had been squeezed out, he realized that Kakuzu was essentially dead this time.

So what if you have five hearts? If they all break, it's no different from having only one life.

"Put me down! I'm going to kill you and sacrifice you to the Lord Jashin!"

Hidan flailed wildly in the air.

But he had absolutely no way to get down on his own.

Even though he still held his red, three-sectioned scythe in his hand.

No matter how hard he swung his sword, he couldn't cut down the trees in front of him.

The blue flames on Two-Tails Matatabi's body gradually subsided.

It seems she doesn't need to help anymore.

Hinata behind the waterfall, also blinked her beautiful eyes slightly.

Although she retreated behind the waterfall, she still used her Byakugan to observe the situation.

Even if Kanami Kanami is incredibly strong, she, as his lover, will still worry.

However, seeing that Kanami easily dealt with the two, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Fu, who was standing to the side, was also dumbfounded.

She knew Kanami was strong, but she didn't expect him to be this strong.

Sold out instantly!

Moreover, the moves seemed casual, rather than being used against Yugito Nii giant Wood Human created by wooden figures.

"Kanami, you're amazing!"

Fu couldn't help but praise her.

Kanami nodded slightly.

He then looked at the blood gushing out beneath Hidan.

"You've lost so much fluid and you're still perfectly fine?"

He felt very strange. What kind of existence was the Jashin that could truly make people immortal?

Blood was everywhere, but Hidan was acting like nothing had happened.

"Come on, come any closer if you dare!"

Hidan shouted in the air, while simultaneously swinging his red scythe towards Kanami.

Kanami chuckled lightly, "You want my blood?"
