You Dare Compare Yourself to the First Generation?
The First Hokage...
Kakuzu somewhat dazed, almost believing that the person in front of him was the resurrected First Hokage.
This was the most terrifying enemy he had ever encountered in his life, apart from the First Hokage!
Four masks instantly flew onto his shoulders and merged with his body, then the threads transformed into fists...
Call out!
Two fists flew in, and strands of silk flew out from within, instantly binding Kyohiko's body.
However.
The next second--
Crack!
A muffled clap of thunder sounded.
Instantly, Kyohiko's entire body was covered in crisscrossing lightning.
Lightning Armor!
Immediately afterwards, a tremendous force came from that direction.
good...
What incredible strength!
How could that be!
Kakuzu couldn't stop at all. He kept trying to entangle himself with the silk threads, but to no avail, so he had no choice but to cut the threads immediately.
However.
The instant he took to the air.
Call out!
A bolt of lightning appeared like a ray of light in the rain ahead.
Boom!
A swift, chop-like strike.
With the blessing of immortal magic and the Strength of a Hundred Technique, the lightning exploded, transforming into a blade that could cut through everything.
Hell Stab - Hell Stab!
Although he hadn't reached the level of a grandmaster, this strike was more than enough to hit Kakuzu.
The Kakuzu saw Kyohiko appear in front of him, it was too late to dodge, and he could only use layers of silk threads to protect himself.
at the same time...
Earth Style · Earth Spear!
He used all his defensive Ninjutsu to block this slash.
But.
In the blink of an eye, Kakuzu felt a sharp pain in his heart.
The blazing white lightning, like a knife, sliced through everything and pierced directly into his heart.
He looked down in disbelief, only to see that his "earth-elemental" heart had shattered!
Kakuzu used his last bit of strength and Chakra to break free and avoid being grabbed by Kyohiko.
In the instant of separation, one of the masks shattered and replaced the current heart.
He wasn't given much time to think.
Kyohiko paused, then threw out dozens of Amber stones.
Each piece of Amber contains an image of the Flying Thunder God, which can serve as his coordinates for the Flying Thunder God.
No Kakuzu sat idly by and waited for their doom.
He realized that the enemy before him was extremely formidable.
Instantly, all the threads burst forth in all directions, and flames and hurricanes blew out from the shoulders at the same time.
Composite Ninja Art: Flame Wind Chaos!
The firestorm swept outwards, transforming the area around him into an "ocean" of flames and gales.
Kakuzu's attack was not aimed at killing Kyohiko, but rather...
Self-preservation or escape!
However.
Above!
Kakuzu's entire body of silk threads instantly coalesced into his most powerful punch.
All the threads solidified together, Chakra spread from the tentacles formed by the Earth Grudge Fear, bombarding upwards.
Kyohiko also threw a punch.
but.
This attack incorporated a touch of other Ninjutsu.
Immortal Arts - Strength Enhancement Technique.
Bang!
The bombardment of Chakra energy pulverized each of the individual threads.
Kakuzu lost his Earth Style mask and had no ability to escape, so he kept moving and maneuvering towards the river, hoping to escape by using the river.
However.
The power of this attack exceeded his expectations!
Kyohiko's figure appeared in an instant from among the shattered tentacles.
There is no Flying Thunder God, only...
The simplest Body Flicker Technique.
but.
In Sage Mode and Lightning Armor, even the simplest Body Flicker Technique is no slower than the Flying Thunder God.
By the time Kakuzu realized what was happening, Kyohiko was already beside him.
The next second, the blade was drawn!
A horizontal slash.
The simplest slash directly cut through the rain curtain, with Wind Style Chakra condensing on it, transforming into an invisible energy blade.
A single sword strike intersecting --
Both masks shattered!
"You'll die with me!"
As the two masks shattered, Kakuzu roared, unleashing a storm of wind and flames as his Chakra coalesced throughout his body.
These are his only two remaining masks!
Similarly, this was his desperate strike.
Below, White Zetsu instantly dug a passage, but at that very moment, a peculiar Chakra spread out.
Not good!
White Zetsu immediately tried to run, but it was too late.
In the blink of an eye, the ground solidified into a single piece of Amber!
"You dare compare yourself to the First Lord?"
The next moment, suddenly, a huge wooden figure rose up from beneath Kyohiko's feet, making him incredibly tall.
Then, a hand pressed down from above.
Kakuzu gazed at the sky, with only one thought in mind—
Run!
Run!!!
There was no other way to survive but to run away.
However.
Beneath his feet, Amber had already firmly adhered and solidified his silk threads and the White Zetsu, and the Amber was still increasing.
Only...
Resistance!
Wind and fire attack simultaneously.
The tentacles coalesced, transforming into a sharp spearhead.
Kakuzu gave it his all.
But.
Above him, Ninjutsu rained down on him, but the wooden doll remained unmoved, completely unaffected by his attacks.
With the aid of Senjutsu, Kakuzu's attacks were like a tickle to the wooden doll.
If it weren't for the need to capture Kakuzu and White Zetsu alive, dealing with these two would actually be much simpler.
A direct True Several Thousand Hands attack, Top Transformed Buddha —even a few masks wouldn't be enough to survive.
But now.
Above, a giant wooden hand pressed down, with countless Amber sprouting from it as well.
Looking at the enormous hand descending from the sky, Kakuzu's eyes were filled with despair.
No match for them!
They're no match at all!
Celestial Art: Amber Seal!
With the aid of Senjutsu and the Wood Human Technique, Kakuzu and White Zetsu were instantly sealed by the Amber that sprouted from their palms.
Kakuzu and White Zetsu were captured alive!
The wooden figure collapsed.
Kyohiko grabbed the two humanoid Amber and looked at Raiga Kurosuki in the distance, showing no intention of making a move for the time being.
In the distance, Raiga Kurosuki initially targeted Pakura.
However.
Just as he was fully focused, his twin swords clashing, and a bolt of lightning was about to strike Pakura ahead, a gust of wind howled behind him.
Enemy attack!
His whole body tensed instantly.
The next second, the lightning on the blade converged onto his body, transforming his attack into a defense.
Ninja Art: Lightning Armor!
However.
As he turned to the side, he saw a young man covered in lightning rushing towards him at incredible speed, arriving in front of him in the blink of an eye.
Bang!
Blades clashing.
One blade spewed forth Wind Blade, while the other was engulfed in blazing lightning.
The two swords clashed, Raiga Kurosuki was knocked back a step.
but.
The next second, in his other hand, Chakra gathered on the blade, unleashing a ball of lightning.
Lightning Style: Lightning Ball!
A ball of lightning condensed at the tip of the blade and slashed down with incredible speed. Raiga Kurosuki grinned, but then Kakashi drew another sword in an instant.
Bang!
The same Wind Style Ninja Blade Technique.
Wind Kree.
After the lightning ball was split open, Kakashi's right hand instantly changed its attribute, transforming into a raging flame in the blink of an eye.
Immediately, the blades clashed, and wind and fire mingled.
Laugh!
The suddenly extended fire blade nearly tore apart Raiga Kurosuki's hand.
Both wielded dual swords and were skilled in Lightning Style and speed, making their exchange extremely fast; they exchanged over a dozen blows in the blink of an eye.
Every strike is a clash of Chakra Blade techniques.
Kakashi was very excited.
Raiga Kurosuki was the first Jonin he had encountered in recent years. The two had similar styles, and their duel gave him the feeling of "meeting a worthy opponent."
Such experience is invaluable!
But.
At that very moment, in the distance, Kyohiko had already captured Kakuzu...
So fast?
Raiga Kurosuki was horrified.
Previously, his only opponent was Pakura, then Kakashi Hatake, and now...
Another Kyohiko Yoshimine!
Beside him, Pakura simply crossed her arms, showing no intention of attacking.
seem...
Kakashi can handle it all by himself, even without her.
and.
If Kyohiko isn't in a hurry, then she certainly isn't.
Raiga Kurosuki gritted his teeth, using the moment Kakashi charged forward as leverage to deflect his attack, and then—
Crack!
The dark clouds in the sky collided, and attracted by the blade, a bolt of lightning instantly erupted, hurtling towards Kakashi.
Lightning Style: Lightning Strike!
Pakura was about to make her move immediately.
But.
The next second, she saw Kakashi sheath his sword and, in the blink of an eye, form several hand seals.
Then--
Sizzle!
The raging lightning erupted in Kakashi's hand, condensing into a ball of silvery-white electric light.
His right palm was completely covered by lightning.
Just as the lightning struck, his figure vanished instantly, and then his palm slashed across his head.
Lightning...
It disappeared into his palm.
It was as if all the lightning was absorbed by the lightning in the opponent's hand.
What kind of technique is this?
Raiga Kurosuki was horrified and quickly crossed his blades, assuming a defensive stance.
However.
The next second, Kakashi had already Body Flicker Technique in front of him.
Open the Gate of Opening!
but.
The purpose of Gate of Opening is not to increase speed, but to allow him to control the speed at high speeds.
He already possessed the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, and with the addition of the "Gate of Opening" state, his speed reached its peak in that instant.
The next second, just as a burst of lightning erupted beneath the blade of the Raiga Kurosuki, Kakashi's figure flashed by...
He appeared behind Raiga Kurosuki in an instant.
Shadow Leaf Dance!
but.
The difference was that, the next second, his hand pressed directly onto Raiga Kurosuki's heart.
Lightning and water swirled chaotically inside, transforming into a pulpy mass of thunder.
In the blink of an eye.
His hand pierced through Raiga Kurosuki's chest.
"How..."
Raiga Kurosuki stared in astonishment at his chest.
A hand pierced through his chest.
"Possible?"
He couldn't believe it.
A mere boy could unleash such incredible speed in an instant and master such powerful Ninjutsu!
Kakashi Hatake...
He regretted it.
If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have obeyed the Mizukage's orders and defected from the village!
The next moment, he stumbled forward and fell.
Kakashi immediately Body Flicker Technique, slightly out of breath, his eyes showing a hint of fatigue.
This blow was not easy for him.
To withstand that bolt of lightning, the Chakra consumption increased exponentially, and Gate of Opening, the exhaustion was indescribable.
This is the price of the Eight Inner Gates.
But the result was that he killed Raiga Kurosuki!
"Call!"
Kakashi exhaled, his whole body trembling with excitement.
The feeling of battle!
See? I told you you could do it!
"..."
Kakashi looked up at the two humanoid Amber in Kyohiko's hands and fell silent.
The opponent he had fought with all his might seemed to be weaker than the one in Kyohiko's hands, and this guy seemed to be able to eliminate enemies even faster than him.
Why!
Kakashi was slightly disappointed.
But.
He recovered quickly.
From the very beginning, Kakashi never thought he could stand shoulder to shoulder with Kyohiko; his goal was to strive to catch up from behind.
He was already very satisfied as long as he could catch a glimpse of Kyohiko's back.
"Kakuzu..."
"Still alive."
Kyohiko spoke, he added another layer of seal to prevent the two from escaping.
Although the possibility is extremely slim.
Pakura walked over and stared intently Kakuzu the person next to Kakuzu.
She looked puzzled.
"It's that kind of guy again. How many of them are there?"
I don't know.
Kyohiko paused, then said, "It's a low-quality copy of the First Hokage; Madara probably made many."
"A clone of the First Hokage?"
Pakura's eyes widened slightly, then she suddenly realized, "No wonder it can also use Wood Release, but its power is nowhere near that of the First Hokage."
"That's normal; it lacks the Chakra and strength to match it."
Kyohiko spoke, Hand Seals.
Barrier appeared.
Following closely behind, the Flying Thunder God Technique!
He sent both a White Zetsu and a Kakuzu to the Anbu office.
There, his Wood Clone was still at the office handling official business.
A look of envy flashed in Pakura's eyes.
Flying Thunder God.
So convenient and powerful!
"With this hunt complete, Madara is now two fewer capable subordinates. It's a pity we couldn't bring back the Jinchuriki."
Kakashi regained some of his strength and managed to sit up.
"Of course, Madara wouldn't let the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki wander around, and he might have already transferred the Seven-Tails into this special clone."
Pakura glanced at it and shared her guess.
Kakashi earned her respect through his strength, so she was quite kind to him.
Kyohiko shook his head.
"This clone is incapable of holding such strong Chakra; it was most likely controlled by Madara using his Sharingan in conjunction with Summoning Contract."
He's done something similar before.
Kyohiko spoke, recounting the story of what happened to the Nine-Tails.
"This is actually true?"
Pakura was slightly surprised.
She had indeed heard about the attack on Konoha before, but with Kyohiko in Konoha, she had always treated it as a joke.
With Kyohiko in Konoha, how could they possibly be attacked?
Who would be so blind as to attack!
result.
Yes, there really is.
And this matter is even related to Nine-Tails and Madara?
"Obito Awakening his Sharingan around that time. I suspect it was a performance Madara specially designed to Awakening in him."
Kyohiko answered.
Kakashi looked at Kyohiko.
Here...
In fact, this was also a result of Kyohiko's indulgence.
otherwise.
The Uchiha Clan could never have come into contact with the Nine-Tails' clones.
but.
Compared to the outcome, it's already much better!
Furthermore, those who sacrificed themselves were not primarily killed during the Nine-Tails' rampage, but rather by the chaos within the Uchiha.
In reality, none of the people actually killed by the Nine-Tails' clones.
The result was--
With the internal problems of the Uchiha resolved, the remaining members have completely sided with Konoha, and there will be no more betrayals in the short term.
Pakura was unaware of the details.
She was still thinking more about Obito's Sharingan.
Bizarre and terrifying spatial abilities!
Even she was somewhat helpless against such an ability, and could only use her Scorch Release to affect her opponent as much as possible.
Rasa was even more helpless.
She hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
Kyohiko looked into the distance. "Speak quickly if you have something to say. The ninjas from Amegakure are arriving soon, we need to retreat."
"How is Rasa's daughter?"
Pakura asked.
Kyohiko glanced at it and couldn't help but laugh, "It's strange of you, you're so concerned about Rasa's daughter..."
He paused slightly as he said this.
"It's not great, but I've had Kushina take care of her and with the help of psychotherapy, she should be able to slowly emerge from this gloom."
"Thanks."
Upon hearing this, Pakura breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Kyohiko shook his head slightly without replying, then placed his hand on Kakashi's shoulder.
"You don't want to go back, partly because you're worried about me, and partly because you're worried about your immigration status, right?"
Pakura remained silent.
She had already "died" once in Sunagakure.
"Why don't you come to Konoha? It's too dangerous to wander around outside in the short term."
"Ah?"
Pakura paused for a few seconds, then looked at Kyohiko with a strange expression, "Why would I go to Konoha?"
"Temari is in Konoha, and your disciple... that boy named Maki, is living there too. Rasa came to Konoha for this very reason."
"Is she in Konoha?"
Pakura truly hadn't expected this.
She pondered for a moment, then understood Rasa's thoughts and fell silent.
That's exactly the kind of thing that guy would do!
A group of people are gambling on a possibility, but if they fail, the whole group might also be wiped out...
Didn't Rasa think about that?
Pakura was furious.
Then, she actually had a fleeting thought of "going to Konoha".
"Can I... use my identity as a member of the Anbu?"
"Can."
