During Setsuna, the long-accumulated thunder and lightning in the clouds was activated by Chidori, turning into a huge thunder beast, and swooped down from the sky.
The thunder beast was made of black and white lightning. It was huge in size, opened its huge mouth, and smashed straight into Kakuzu on the ground with a destructive momentum.
Kakuzu's pupils contracted violently.
The speed of the lightning was so fast that just as his brain reacted, the lightning was already close at hand.
He didn't have time to think, let alone run away.
The ice blocked all his escape routes, and the lightning above his head blocked his final direction.
Kakuzu gritted his teeth, and the three hearts in his body beat wildly at the same time, squeezing every bit of Chakra to the extreme.
The fire attribute mask on the left shoulder, the wind attribute mask on the right shoulder, and the only water attribute heart left in the body, three completely different Chakra surged at the same time, condensing around Kakuzu.
The wind and fire intertwined to form a violent pillar of flames, while the water condensed into a thick curtain of water around the pillar. The three attacks merged into one and were shot towards the thunder beast that jumped down from the sky.
"Boom--!!!"
The two attacks collided in mid-air, making a deafening noise.
The moment the flame pillar intertwined with wind and fire collided with the thunder beast, it seemed to be still for a moment.
Then, dazzling white light exploded from the center of the impact, dyeing the entire battlefield a pale white.
Kakuzu's pupils shrank suddenly.
He saw that the pillar of flame he emitted only lasted less than a second in front of the thunder beast.
The giant beast made of pure thunder and lightning tore through his triple defense of wind, fire and water without any hindrance. Like a ferocious beast that pounced on its prey, it opened its huge mouth and swallowed him whole.
"Zila--!!!"
Thunder and lightning penetrated Kakuzu's body.
His whole body twitched violently, and every cell in his body trembled in the lightning.
"Ahhhhhh--!!"
He screamed, his skin was blackened and carbonized at a speed visible to the naked eye, his blood evaporated instantly under the high temperature, his body tissues were torn apart by the electric current, and his bones were turned black by the electricity.
The fire attribute mask on the left shoulder exploded in the lightning, and the fragments flew everywhere.
The wind attribute mask on the right shoulder followed closely and turned into a ball of charred debris.
The water attribute heart in the center of the chest also quickly dimmed under the continuous burning of the lightning, and was dying.
Kakuzu's body fell straight to the ground, creating a deep, charred pit.
He was lying at the bottom of the pit, covered in black smoke, his limbs twitching unconsciously, his mouth open, but unable to make any sound.
The light in those green eyes was dissipating little by little.
At the same time.
In the distance, Suigetsu, who was collecting intelligence in the town, suddenly stopped.
He turned his head suddenly and looked in the direction outside the town. On the horizon, a dazzling thunder light fell from the sky, illuminating half of the sky.
"That's..."
Suigetsu's pupils shrank for a moment, then he put the scroll in his hand into his arms and muttered angrily.
"Really, I won't stop even if I fight."
As soon as he finished speaking, he exerted force on his feet, and his whole body flew out of the town like an arrow from a string.
Karin was walking on the street, thinking about the wonderful happy life of Sasuke in his mind, when the lightning suddenly lit up, and the fantasy was completely interrupted in an instant.
She raised her head suddenly and looked at the slowly dissipating light of thunder on the horizon, her heart tightening suddenly.
That's Chakra from Sasuke!
Without any hesitation, she immediately changed direction and hurried out of the town.
Deep in the forest, Jugo leaned under an old tree and asked the birds around him if they had seen anyone wearing black clothes and red cloud robes.
The moment the thunder light lit up, the surrounding birds instantly scattered in all directions. This also made the murderous intention in his body ready to move, but he suppressed it in an instant.
He stood up, looked silently at the direction where the lightning fell, and quickly ran over.
Of course, in addition to the members of Hebi, Konoha Ninja stationed in this town was also attracted by the lightning.
Several ninjas who were patrolling stopped and looked at each other in confusion as they looked at the slowly dissipating light of lightning on the horizon.
"Is that... someone fighting?"
"Lightning Release of this size... is a ninja from which village?"
"Do you want to report it?"
The leading ninja was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head.
"Send someone to investigate first, don't act rashly, and report it immediately."
The screen returns to Sasuke.
After the lightning dissipated, the air was filled with the burnt smell of ozone, mixed with the smell of earth washed away by rain.
Sasuke slowly fell from the air, the palms behind its back were retracted, and the state of Curse Mark Stage Two gradually faded away, the skin returned to its original color, and the hair shortened back to its original length.
Ning Xue also exited Second Release State, approached from the other side, stood on the edge of the pit, and looked down at the carbonized figure at the bottom of the pit.
Kakuzu is not dead yet.
His eyes were slightly open, his chest was rising and falling weakly, and the remaining water-attribute heart was still beating reluctantly, but it was so weak that it was almost imperceptible.
His body has been completely carbonized, his limbs are stiff, and he cannot even move his fingers.
Sasuke walked to the pit and looked down at Kakuzu. There was no warmth in those black eyes.
"Where is Itachi?"
His voice was calm and without any emotion, as if he was asking a common question.
Kakuzu's lips moved, making a hoarse and weak sound.
"That Itachi guy... how could I possibly know... where he is..."
Sasuke frowned slightly, and with some impatience, he pulled out Kusanagi Sword from his waist, pointing the tip of the sword directly at Kakuzu's throat.
Kakuzu's pupils shrank slightly. The old monster, who had lived for nearly a hundred years, made the fastest decision in his life at this moment.
"Stop, I say."
His voice was hoarse, with a hint of unwillingness.
"Itachi is currently with Kisame Hoshigaki, in a temporary base somewhere.
The members of Akatsuki are all moving independently, I only know the general direction, I don't know the exact location."
Sasuke's eyes froze slightly, and the sword tip did not retract.
"Where is the general direction?"
"I can only roughly know... he may come to Land of Fire... I don't know which stronghold it is specifically."
Kakuzu's voice is getting weaker and weaker, and his breath is becoming more and more scattered.
Sasuke was silent for a moment, Kusanagi Sword in his hand did not fall, but he did not take it back either.
He knelt down, and those three Tomoe eyes suddenly became scarleter in Kakuzu's field of vision.
Illusion sound effects.
Kakuzu's body stiffened suddenly, and his eyes that were about to close suddenly opened wide, their pupils dilated, as if someone had taken away his soul.
After a while, Sasuke lifted the illusion, stood up, and took back Kusanagi Sword.
What Kakuzu said is true.
He didn't know Itachi's specific location, he only knew a general direction.
Sasuke turned around and slowly put on the white clothes tied around his waist.
"Gone."
His tone was calm, as if nothing had happened just now.
Ning Xue didn't move.
He stood at the edge of the pit and looked down at the dying Kakuzu at the bottom of the pit.
In Byakugan, the water-attribute heart is still beating weakly, like a light that can go out at any time.
At the bottom of the pit, Kakuzu saw Sasuke turning around to leave. He just breathed a sigh of relief and was thinking about how to take revenge after he recovered from his injuries.
He has lived for nearly a hundred years and has never suffered such a big loss. When he recovers, he will not let either of these two brats go.
But before he could rejoice for a long time, Kakuzu noticed that gaze and felt a chill in his heart.
He tried his best, struggled to prop up his body with his carbonized arms, and climbed toward the pit wall.
With every inch he climbed, charred debris peeled off his body, mixing with the rain and melting into the soil.
"Wait... stop..." Kakuzu's voice was hoarse and weak.
"I've told you everything you want to know..."
Ning Xue did not answer.
He jumped down from the edge of the pit, stepped on the charred soil, walked to Kakuzu's side, and squatted down.
He raised his right hand, cold air surged in his palm, and a short Ice Blade condensed on his fingertips.
Kakuzu's pupils contracted violently.
Using his last bit of strength, he suddenly raised his carbonized arm and stabbed Ning Xue's throat with his fingertips.
This blow had no power at all. His body had been completely carbonized, and even the movement of raising his hand was crooked. His fingertips were already powerless just a palm away from Ning Xue's throat.
Ning Xue turned his head slightly, avoiding the carbonized finger.
Then, he raised his hand and Ice Blade stabbed Kakuzu's chest accurately, penetrating the heart that was still beating weakly.
"Pfft."
There was a soft sound, like a bubble popping.
Kakuzu's body stiffened suddenly.
He widened his eyes and looked at the Ice Blade that was buried in his chest, then slowly raised his head and looked at the cold mask in front of him.
In the green eyes, the light was completely extinguished.
This old monster who had lived for countless years finally died at this moment.
Ning Xue Pull out Ice Blade and stand up.
Ice Blade melted quickly in the hand and turned into a puddle of water, mixing into the mud underfoot.
Sasuke stood by the pit, watching this scene, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Why do you want to kill him?"
he asked, with a hint of confusion in his tone.
Kakuzu has lost his ability to fight and cannot even crawl. It makes no difference whether he is killed or not.
Ning Xue climbed up from the pit, walked to Sasuke's side, and said calmly.
"He is a hidden danger. If a person like this is left, he will only look for opportunities to retaliate."
Sasuke was silent for a moment and said nothing more.
Ning Xue turned around and walked towards the direction where Hidan fell to the ground.
The crazy white man was still lying there with his limbs cut off, lying on the ground cursing the eighteenth generation of Sasuke's ancestors.
Ning Xue squatted down and checked the condition of Hidan.
Scabs have formed on the fractured limbs, and although blood is still leaking out, the speed has slowed down a lot.
Immortality is indeed a problem.
He stood up and looked around.
The rain-washed ground was muddy and slippery, and not far away there was a hole blasted by lightning, with loose soil.
"Bury it alive." Ning Xue whispered to himself, just when he was about to take action--
"Sasuke! Fujiwara! He's not dead!"
A whirring sound came from not far away.
Ning Xue raised his head and saw a white-haired figure running from a distance, followed by two figures, one red and one brown.
Suigetsu.
He ran very fast, Kubikiribōchō swaying behind him, with an excited smile on his face.
After running closer, Suigetsu saw Ning Xue squatting next to Hidan, and then saw Kakuzu's motionless body in a charred pit not far away. His footsteps suddenly stagnated, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
"Hey, you two have it done?"
He walked to the edge of the pit, looked down at Kakuzu's completely carbonized body, then turned to look at Hidan lying in the mud and cursing, and let out a sigh.
"It's so miserable."
Karin walked out from behind Suigetsu and saw Sasuke standing there intact, and his tense expression finally relaxed.
She walked quickly to Sasuke's side, looked him up and down, made sure he was not injured, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, she pushed up her glasses and turned her head as if nothing had happened, but she couldn't help but steal another glance at Sasuke.
Jugo stood at the back in silence, his eyes scanning the battlefield. After confirming that Sasuke was not injured, he leaned against a burnt tree and closed his eyes.
Suigetsu walked up to Hidan, squatted down, and poked his face with the back of Kubikiribōchō's knife.
"Hey, this guy isn't dead yet."
Hidan was so poked that he rolled his eyes and began to curse again.
"Who are you fucking? Dare to poke me! Believe it or not, I will sacrifice you to Lord Jashin--"
"This guy..."
Suigetsu twitched the corner of his mouth and turned to look at Ning Xue.
"What to do?"
Ning Xue stood up and patted the dust on his clothes.
"Buried alive."
Suigetsu's eyes lit up, his shark teeth exposed, and his smile was particularly bright.
"I'm good at this!"
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Hidan's half-leg, dragging him towards the soft soil.
Hidan was dragged along, and the curses became farther and farther away, becoming increasingly blurry.
"You bastards! Lord Jashin will not let you go! When I come out, I will take all of you--"
"Shut up, you."
Suigetsu grabbed a handful of dirt and stuffed it directly into Hidan's mouth.
The curse turned into a vague "Uh-huh" sound.
Ning Xue looked at Suigetsu's busy back, turned his head, and his eyes fell on the scorched Kurotsuchi ground washed away by the rain.
Kakuzu's body had completely lost its vitality, and its green pupils looked particularly hollow in the rain.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at Sasuke.
Sasuke stood there, looking up at the sky.
The rain slid down his face and dripped on his clothes, his eyes were calm.
Ning Xue didn't know what he was thinking and didn't ask.
He just stood there quietly, waiting for the rain to stop.
In the distance, Suigetsu was digging a hole hard, humming an unknown tune.
Karin stood beside Sasuke, secretly glancing at him from time to time.
Jugo leaned against the burnt tree with his eyes closed, as if he was guarding against something?
Just after they finished handling all this, they left not long after.
A figure wearing a red cloak and a hood slowly walked out of the forest and came to this messy battlefield.
He looked around, then came to where Kakuzu and Hidan were buried, grabbed two handfuls of soil and left quickly.
Not long after this mysterious man left, the talent of Konoha arrived belatedly.
(Okay, now there are only 50 words left, which is 4,000 words. Let's water it down. To be honest, I don't know how to write the rest. After all, the rest of it should be Deidara. I won't write these two words to death.)
