Resolved by Two Little Buns

Humming, humming, humming!

A sharp, ear-piercing shriek of air suddenly erupted.

Watching Qin Yu walk slowly out of the remnants of the sea of fire.

And in his hand, the Wind Style: Rasengan Shuriken, rotating rapidly like a miniature comet.

Kakuzu's expression changed drastically.

"What, what kind of Wind Style ninjutsu is this, to be able to hone shape transformation and nature transformation to such a degree."

"I absolutely cannot be hit, otherwise I fear I will die!"

Chaotic thoughts flashed through Kakuzu's mind.

But as he looked at Qin Yu, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes.

Within that chakra, he sensed an unusually pure quality; if he could claim his heart as his own.

Would he also be able to learn this powerful ninjutsu?

The thought of greed had only just sprouted.

The next moment, Kakuzu's pupils suddenly contracted.

The ground where Qin Yu stood shattered with a boom, sinking like a spiderweb.

Kakuzu only felt a blur before his eyes, and a bolt of lightning streaked across the air.

By the time he could see clearly again, the attack was already inches away.

"Your delivery of 'maru' has arrived, please sign for it!" Qin Yu smiled playfully.

The Wind Style: Rasengan Shuriken in his hand slammed directly into Kakuzu's chest.

Hum!

The sharp vibration of the air paused for a split second.

The next moment, it erupted with the power of an incomparably mighty hurricane.

The moment the sharp, ear-piercing sonic boom echoed, the sweeping shockwave soared straight into the sky.

Everything within a hundred-meter radius, whether rock or tree, was instantly shredded.

At this moment, Kakuzu felt as if his entire body was being sliced by countless sharp blades.

If not for his Earth Style heart strengthening his body's defenses, which ordinary attacks could never pierce.

He feared he would have already breathed his last.

Now, he only needed to sacrifice one heart, endure this wave of attacks, feign death, and then wait for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

Under such an unexpected turn of events, he would slaughter this strange brat.

However, this thought had only just sprouted in his mind when the scene that met his eyes the next moment made Kakuzu almost want to open his mouth and vomit blood.

Looking at the ball of raging lightning in Qin Yu's hand, his scalp went numb.

One Wind Style: Rasengan had already made him doubt his life.

And now came a Lightning Release: Rasengan Shuriken.

His Earth Style body would likely be unable to resist it at all.

Moreover, trapped under the attack, he was unable to move, completely reduced to a target.

Facing him as he feigned death, Qin Yu still insisted on desecrating the corpse; such caution and such unexpectedly powerful methods.

Made Kakuzu doubt for the first time if his obsession with money was wrong.

"No, don't kill me, have you forgotten our wager? I can submit to your command." Kakuzu hurriedly snapped out of his feigned death.

Qin Yu smiled playfully: "It is I who calls the shots now."

"Taste the Lightning Release: Rasengan!"

As his voice fell, Qin Yu did not hesitate in the slightest, backhanding the Lightning Release: Rasengan Shuriken—which flowed with electric arcs like a ball of lightning—and throwing it out.

No!

Kakuzu let out a strange cry.

The Lightning Release: Rasengan Shuriken collided with the wind-based one.

The lightning, like a tidal wave, directly engulfed Kakuzu.

Arcs of lightning, compressed to the point of madness, pierced through Kakuzu's entire body like countless fine needles.

With lightning restraining the earth nature transformation, Kakuzu's defense was rendered completely useless.

Boom!

The thunderous explosion lasted for a full half-minute before it finally faded from the world.

Looking at the scarred ruins and the riddled, rag-like body lying there.

Gekko Hayate and Uzuki Yugao were left completely stunned.

Is this really the S-rank missing-nin who strikes fear into the hearts of all?

Is this truly the heaven-defying existence who slaughtered the entire upper echelon of Takigakure?

He appeared, unleashed two ninjutsu, and was immediately finished off by two of Qin Yu's orbs.

This is simply too shocking.

"Kid, you... you didn't keep your promise." Amidst the ruins, Kakuzu struggled to lift his head.

The four masks on his back had shattered, proving that surviving those two orbs had cost him four of his lives.

Moreover, even the very last mask now bore a crack.

If that previous attack had lasted just seven or eight seconds longer, I fear Kakuzu would have reached the end of his journey in the ninja world.

"What's wrong? Still not giving up?" Qin Yu smiled warmly.

Kakuzu's expression froze, and he immediately roared in anger.

"Kid, go to hell!"

The soil beneath Qin Yu's feet instantly churned, and thousands of blood vessels transformed into arms.

Like countless tentacles, they lunged straight toward Qin Yu.

The attack was at point-blank range, and with its overwhelming, all-encompassing posture, it felt as though there was nowhere to hide.

However, facing all of this, Qin Yu seemed not to care in the slightest, his smile only growing wider.

A blood-colored, illusory figure instantly enveloped his body.

The thousands of blood vessels were like rain hitting a banana leaf.

They were deflected instantly by Susanoo.

Watching this figure that had suddenly appeared, looking like a god or a demon, Kakuzu's expression solidified.

"By the way, I still have Water Style, Earth Style, and Fire Style orbs that I haven't whipped up yet. Would you like to taste those?" Qin Yu smiled playfully.

If Danzo were to see that his trump card, in which he had placed such high hopes to kill Qin Yu, was being toyed with like an infant, he would likely feel like dying, just as Kakuzu did.

"No, kill me! Just kill me!" Kakuzu roared with a ferocious expression.

"Danzo, I knew you were up to no good."

Uzuki Yugao and Gekko Hayate could not help but be stunned.

They had suspected earlier that this assassination attempt might be related to Konoha.

But it could also have been Kirigakure or Kumogakure, having suffered heavy losses at the hands of Qin Yu, placing a bounty on the black market to have Kakuzu carry out the hit.

However, now that Kakuzu had personally confirmed it, everything was different.

They would never fear a killing blow from outsiders, no matter who came.

But this assassination attempt was coming from Konoha.

This was a stab in the back.

How could it not make one's heart turn cold?

"Heh, telling the truth makes you a good boy, doesn't it?" Qin Yu gave a dry laugh and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill you."

"You are a rare powerhouse; if the ninja world were to lose you, it would lose a lot of its color. Besides, I like your true nature, reeking of money."

As his voice fell, the Susanoo shrouding Qin Yu instantly dissipated.

He seemed completely unconcerned about the thousands of blood vessels still lurking and watching him like a tiger.

"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?" Kakuzu couldn't help but ask.

Qin Yu smiled playfully and said, "Isn't that just basic trust? Or rather, I believe you are incapable of killing me."

Kakuzu's expression froze.

If anyone else had said such a thing, he would absolutely refuse to accept it.

But after witnessing Qin Yu's powerful methods firsthand, a dignified S-rank missing-nin being defeated by two orbs was nothing short of a nightmare.

"I surrender." After holding it in for a long time, Kakuzu gave this answer.

The blood vessels lurking in the soil were quickly retracted.

Watching a dignified S-rank missing-nin actually surrender, Gekko Hayate and Uzuki Yugao were left stunned in place.

From assassination to surrender, the contrast was simply too great.
