Chapter 406

Seven-Tails, Captured!

Takigakure.

After Meichuan used the Jashin Ritual to instantly kill more than a dozen Takigakure shinobi, Kakuzu's Lightning Release and Yao's Fire Release followed right after, sounding the horn for the battle between Takigakure and Akatsuki!

"You're... Kakuzu?"

"Who's he? A friend of yours?" Yao glanced at Kakuzu, then looked at the leader of Takigakure and asked casually.

"Don't know him. Some small fry, probably."

"Oh, is that so."

Sharingan!

After hearing Kakuzu's words, Yao's eyes widened, and a powerful ocular force instantly shattered the Takigakure leader's mind, making him collapse straight to the ground.

"Whoosh—boom! Boom! Boom!"

At that moment, the other members of Akatsuki also broke into Takigakure, sending out wave after wave of noise. Yao dug at his ears, which had been shaken until they itched.

"This is Takigakure's leader? Way too weak, isn't he? How did a village like this manage to get the Seven-Tails back then?"

"That's normal. Back then, I took almost all of the village's secret techniques with me, and I killed off most of the people who knew them too, causing a break in their inheritance. Otherwise, it probably wouldn't be like this."

As he spoke, Kakuzu did not forget his mission. He spread out his tendrils and pierced the hearts of several Takigakure shinobi not far away. "Tch. Trash. Even their corpses have no value."

Kakuzu casually withdrew his tendrils, glanced at those Takigakure shinobi with disdain, then took the lead and slaughtered his way deeper in. Yao, off to the side, shrugged and casually snapped the neck of a Takigakure small fry who charged at him.

While idly throwing Shuriken and coasting along, he communicated with the White Zetsu on his body, whose consciousness was Black Zetsu's.

Yao: Isn't the Tailed Beast your target? Are you really fine
