Uchiha was about to stop as he entered the Forest of Death when Kakuzu suddenly appeared, a smirk playing on Kakuzu lips as he looked at Uchiha and sneered, "Uchiha Kō, you call yourself the God of Shinobi and the successor to the God of Shinobi, yet this is all the intelligence you have?"
"If you're in a crowd, I really can't do anything about it, because assassins have their own professional ethics and concerns!" Kakuzu muttered.
"So you chose the path to Icha Icha Paradise when there was one, and now you've chosen the path to heaven. Give up the fight, and I, Kakuzu you a quick death!" Kakuzu Rui sneered.
Uchiha Hand Seals, Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique! Kakuzu sneered, "Just a mere Great Fireball Technique." He easily dodged the attack with a leap, then released Earth Grudge Fear, sending black lines shooting towards Uchiha —a direct hit to his heart.
Uchiha collapsed to his knees, lifeless.
Kakuzu sneered, "Nothing special!" Just as he severed Uchiha's head and was about to return to report,
Uchiha reappeared behind him and patted him on the shoulder. Kakuzu immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He realized that he was currently trapped in the Genjutsu of the 'Uchiha Kō' in front of him!
When? It didn't even notice!
Beyond Genjutsu
Uchiha looked at Uchiha Izuna and asked, "Did you succeed?"
Uchiha Izuna Mangekyo reverted to its Three-Tomoe, and he smiled, "It's done!"
Uchiha walked up to Kakuzu and punched him in the stomach. The intense pain jolted him awake, and his consciousness returned to his body. He tried to get up and fight back, but found that he couldn't muster any strength at all.
Uchiha laughed, "Don't waste your energy. I used a massive amount of Chakra to disperse the Chakra within you. You won't be able to move for at least half a day."
After saying that, he tied him up, took out a Personal Communicator, sighed as Uchiha looked at the small metal box-like object in his hand, muttered, "This thing is quite convenient," and then made a phone call to Uchiha Kō.
Ring ring
Uchiha Kō was having barbecue with Tsunade when his Personal Communicator phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was his grandfather.
Tsunade looked at Uchiha Kō, Uchiha Kō smiled and said, "It's Uncle Tian, Uncle Shima, and the others."
Tsunade nodded, then continued eating skewers and drinking the newly produced beer. It wasn't intoxicating, and it even had a bit of fizz, which tasted surprisingly good.
"Hey, Uncle Tian, what's up? I'm having skewers with Tsunade!" Uchiha Kō said with a laugh, turning on speakerphone.
Uchiha rolled his eyes. " In the Forest of Death, there's a bounty hunter named Kakuzu who mistook me for you. I've already tied him up. Do you want to come here, or should I deliver him to you?"
Uchiha Kō opened his mouth wide. What did he just hear? Kakuzu? He mistook Madara for himself and actually did it? He was stunned. Dude, you're really brave!
"Hello? Hello? Is there no signal?" Madara didn't hear a sound and suspected that the signal was bad in the forest.
Uchiha Kō snapped out of his daze and said, "No, I was just a little surprised. Where exactly are you? I'll go there."
"We are..." Uchiha said before hanging up the phone.
Hearing this, Tsunade frowned. "Let's go, I'll go with you!"
Uchiha Kō nodded. The two looked at the still-warm skewers on the table, asked the shopkeeper to bring a warming box, packed the untouched skewers, and then Uchiha Kō put them into a scroll.
The two raced towards the Forest of Death.
Kakuzu was tied to a tree, dejected. "Damn it, how can this guy be so strong! He has such a huge amount of Chakra!" He punched his own Chakra out of his body.
I'm so fragile now that even a child could kill him!
He looked at Uchiha with suspicion and asked, "You're not Uchiha Kō? Impossible! You two look so alike! Could it be that you're his father?"
Uchiha's eyes widened. He was Uchiha Kō's father; did that mean he was Izuna's son?
Izuna kicked Kakuzu in the stomach, then looked at Uchiha and said, "Brother, you can't believe his lies! We're brothers!"
Uchiha smiled. "That's natural."
Kakuzu exclaimed, "Ouch! How come that kid's casual kick has Jonin -level power?"
Ugh! Is Mercury retrograde today?
Soon, Uchiha Kō arrived at the scene with Tsunade. Uchiha, seeing his grandson and granddaughter-in-law, smiled slightly and said, "Owl, you're here. Your second uncle and I will be leaving now!"
Izuna nodded. "Yeah, Owl, she's a girl, and she's going on a mission with you tonight. You can't let her down! Otherwise, your uncle and I will beat you to death!"
Uchiha Kō scratched his head, then took out a thermos from the scroll and said, "Uncle, Second Uncle, this is meat skewers and grilled fish that Tsunade specially ordered for you. You've worked hard!" Uchiha Izuna's eyes lit up.
Tsunade was a little embarrassed. These were just grilled skewers she hadn't had time to eat, so how did they become something she had specially ordered in Uchiha Kō's mouth?
"I hope you like it!" Tsunade said shyly.
"I love it, I love it!" Izuna took the box of grilled skewers, Uchiha smiled. "Thank you."
Uchiha Kō waved his hand and said, "Of course."
Uchiha and Uchiha Izuna then left the forest carrying the box, while Uchiha Kō changed as he looked at Kakuzu.
"What do you want to do! I, I am Kakuzu, Kage Level powerhouse! Don't do anything reckless!" Kakuzu's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth.
"I heard you're quite brave?" Uchiha Kō looked at Kakuzu, a smirk playing on his lips. He threw a punch, knocking down a large tree.
The commotion was quite loud and alerted the members of the patrolling Police Force nearby. They quickly assembled and arrived at the scene, where they knelt down to pay their respects upon seeing Uchiha Kō and Tsunade.
Uchiha Kō chuckled upon seeing the newcomer, Hizashi Hyuga, who was wearing a police hat and uniform. Hizashi knelt on the ground and said, "Greetings, Chief!"
Uchiha Kō sensed the Chakra within him and nodded. At such a young age, he had already reached the Jonin level, which was one level higher than that kid Hyuga Hiashi!
"Hizashi Hyuga, this man is Black Market bounty hunter. I have captured him and brought him back to the office. I will interrogate him personally tomorrow." After saying that, Uchiha Kō Hand Seals and used the Four Symbols Seal, the Eight Trigrams Seal, and the Five Elements Seal to completely seal him, making it impossible to extract his Chakra.
Hizashi Hyuga looked at Kakuzu with a pitiful gaze, thinking to himself, "Why did you provoke him? It's like lighting a lamp in the toilet—you're asking for it!"
"Yes, sir!" Hizashi Hyuga personally carried Kakuzu his back and quickly ran towards the headquarters, feeling pleased with himself. Wasn't this carrying task also a kind of achievement?
With measured steps, Hizashi Hyuga carried a man on his back towards the guard post amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd.
Uchiha Kō, holding Tsunade's small hand, smiled and said, "See? I told you those two had a good feeling about you."
Tsunade nodded, and the two returned to the night market to continue strolling around. After all, neither of them had eaten well because of what had happened.
Perfect for a change!
