Kakuzu's voice was hoarse and firm, as if he was stating an unchangeable fact.
He covered the scorched black hole in his chest that was still slowly healing. There was no panic in his green eyes, but a calmness that had gone through hundreds of battles.
Four puppets surrounded Sasuke. Wind, fire, and thunder were the three attributes of Chakra, sealing Sasuke in a narrow space.
Each puppet has its mouth open, ready to attack at any time.
Sasuke stood in the center of the encirclement, under Curse Mark Second State, and drew out Kusanagi Sword. The sword blade glowed coldly under the reflection of Kakkō.
The palms behind his back were slightly fanned, creating fine air currents.
His eyes swept over the three puppets one by one.
"There are still four hearts" Sasuke whispered to himself.
"I'm afraid it won't be so easy to succeed."
He raised his hand, the black lightning regrouped in his palm, and the chirp of Chidori tore through the air again.
When Kakuzu saw this, a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes.
He quickly took a few steps back and gave attack commands to the three puppets at the same time.
"Come together."
The wind attribute puppet opened its mouth first, and an invisible wind ball shot out from its mouth. The speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to see the trajectory, leaving a wave of air in the air, heading straight for Sasuke's waist and abdomen.
Sasuke slapped his palms behind his back violently, and his whole body flew into the air. The wind blew past his soles, blowing a big tree in the distance into pieces.
At the same time, the thunder attribute puppet sprayed out a thick bolt of lightning, chasing Sasuke.
Facing the pursuing thunder and lightning, he Hand Seals his hands and spit out a huge fireball from his mouth.
"Fire Release, Great Fireball Jutsu."
Flames and thunder and lightning collided in mid-air and exploded, leaving behind a cloud of white smoke.
The shock wave of the explosion pushed Sasuke further. He used this force to flip several times in the air. He opened his palms behind his back, stabilized his body like a glider, and slowly landed on the top of a big tree.
The attack of the fire attribute puppet followed closely.
A sea of fire spurted out from its mouth and swept towards the big tree where Sasuke was in a fan shape, turning everything in its path into scorched earth.
Sasuke There was no hard connection, the palm of his back slapped violently, and his whole body flew sideways like an arrow from the string. The sea of fire roared past one meter from his feet, and the heat wave burned the corners of his clothes black.
With the heart beating again, the blackened hole in Kakuzu's chest healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his complexion also looked slightly better.
"No, if you continue like this, you will be consumed to death."
Sasuke's Sharingan captured the recovery process of Kakuzu, frowning slightly.
He needs a breakthrough, an opportunity to destroy multiple hearts at the same time.
The other side.
"Ice Release, Swallow Snowstorm."
Ning Xue raised his hand, and hundreds of crystal clear Ice Swallow flew out from his palm, pouring towards Hidan like a heavy rain.
Seeing this, Hidan in the distance held the bloody sickle in front of him and danced, the light of the sword forming a barrier in front of him.
Ice Swallow hit the sickle, making a dense "ding-ding-ding" sound, shattering into countless ice crystals, and forming a thin layer of ice under his feet.
But there are too many Ice Swallow.
Hidan Although the speed of swinging the sickle is fast, there are always fish that slip through the net.
A Ice Swallow flew past his shoulder, leaving a shallow blood mark on his skin. The coldness instantly seeped into the wound, making him shiver.
"Cut!"
Hidan spat and swung the sickle hard, shaking off all the ice particles attached to the blade.
He raised his head and looked at the white figure in the distance, his eyes full of irritation.
"Do you just hide in the distance?"
Ning Xue has no answer.
He stood on a raised rock with his arms folded, and his expression under the mask was unreal.
Every movement of Hidan is reflected in Byakugan, and even the subtle trembling of his muscles can be seen clearly.
Knowing that the opponent needs blood to activate the ritual, flying a kite is undoubtedly the safest way.
He doesn't need to defeat Hidan, he just needs to hold him back, wait for Sasuke to deal with Kakuzu, and then fight two against one.
However... Ning Xue's Byakugan swept across the battlefield in the distance and saw Sasuke surrounded by four puppets in the center. Kakuzu's body was recovering quickly.
Sasuke seems to be at a disadvantage over there.
While he was thinking, he retreated, keeping a safe distance from Hidan.
When Hidan saw that he was about to run, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he exerted force on his feet. His whole body ejected like a cannonball, and he raised his sickle to kill Ning Xue.
Ning Xue's Byakugan caught his trajectory and dodged sideways in advance.
The blade of the sickle brushed against the corner of his clothes, carving a deep ravine in the ground.
Hidan missed the target, turned around, slashed with the sickle, and swept towards Ning Xue's waist and abdomen.
Ning Xue jumped up and did a backflip in the air. An ice plate condensed on the soles of his feet. He stepped firmly on it and hovered in mid-air.
Hidan chased to the edge of the rock, looked up at Ning Xue hanging four or five meters high, and was dumbfounded.
"Damn! What's the point of floating in the sky!" He raised his sickle, pointed at Ning Xue in the air, and cursed angrily.
"You have the guts to get down and fight me head-on! Are you afraid of coming down because you are afraid that I will take my blood and sacrifice it to Jashin?"
Ning Xue ignored his insults and just silently condensed a blue Flower Seed in his palm. When he turned his palm, Flower Seed slowly floated down towards Hidan.
"Eh?" Hidan, who was furious, looked at the ball that suddenly fell from the sky, tilted his head, and looked confused.
Because the lump looks very elastic and harmless.
But when he felt the extremely compressed Chakra fluctuations inside Flower Seed, his expression suddenly changed.
"This thing--!"
He instinctively turned around and ran away, a little faster than when he came.
"Bang!"
Flower Seed fell to the ground and exploded suddenly.
Countless sharp ice spikes shot out in all directions from the center of the explosion, instantly turning the ground several meters into a sheet of ice spikes.
The ice spikes were stained with dirt and grass clippings, reflecting a cold light in the sunlight.
Hidan Although he ran fast, his arms and back were scratched by several ice spikes.
He was lying on the edge of the ice thorn jungle, looking back at the dense ice thorns, his pupils contracted slightly.
A picture emerged involuntarily in my mind.
Deidara's Clay Bomb, that guy looks like this devastated every time he blows up.
"Art is an Explosion?"
He blurted out and then slapped his head violently.
Why did you think of that guy at this time!
But...Hidan stood up, dusted off the ice on his body, and looked solemnly at the white figure still hovering in the air in the distance.
Does this guy actually have ninjutsu similar to that guy Deidara? One uses Clay Bomb, and the other uses ice bombs, both of which are long-range explosive types.
And his flying ability naturally restrains a reckless man like him in close combat.
His sickle cannot cut the opponent, but the opponent's ice can consume him from a distance, and the ice bomb makes him dare not get close easily.
Hidan's brain is running rapidly.
Although he usually seems brainless, he is not stupid.
The opponent can obviously restrain him. If he continues to fight like this, he can't even touch the corners of the opponent's clothes, let alone take blood for sacrifice.
He gritted his teeth and glanced towards Kakuzu.
Then, his expression froze.
The body of Kakuzu is being entangled by Sasuke. Although the attacks of the three puppets are fierce, they can never really hit the Uchiha kid who is as slippery as a snake.
And Kakuzu's chest...Hidan squinted his eyes and saw a large blood stain on Kakuzu's clothes, and his face was much paler than before.
"Kakuzu That guy... I didn't expect that he would be at a disadvantage."
