Destiny is With Me

"What a lucky bastard!"

Kakuzu felt annoyed. In such a vast space spanning all directions, a mere probing attack had happened to hit one of the heart monsters. It was truly frustrating.

No one could see anyone else now. Aside from sensory detection, every action had to rely on instinctive judgment.

Although Kakuzu held the initiative, Mei Terumi and Sasuke Uchiha's Susanoo possessed far too much destructive power. As long as he exposed a weakness or his chakra fluctuations were detected, he would be killed in a single blow.

If he did not have five lives... no, only four now, Kakuzu would have fled long ago.

"And it had to be the Wind-natured one, the strongest in attack..."

If one had to ask which of the five elemental releases stood a chance of cutting through Susanoo, only Wind Style had even the slightest hope.

Sasuke Uchiha himself excelled at Lightning Style, and his resistance was far too high.

Fire Style had even less chance. With Kagutsuchi, Sasuke Uchiha would be difficult to injure with any Fire Style below S-rank.

Kakuzu had already used Earth Style and Water Style, ninjutsu suited for large-scale battlefield destruction and crowd control, but without sufficient raw killing power, they were of no use.

"I can't worry about that now!"

Power was developed to be used. A power that had never appeared before might catch the enemy off guard, but it also carried the possibility of failure through oversight.

Using a ninjutsu that had never even
