Mei Terumi groaned, and hurriedly interrupted the ninjutsu and retreated, but his arms and cheeks were still burned by a little bit of the acid mist that rolled back. Burning pain came, and the chakra movement was also disrupted due to the backlash.
Kakuzu seized this momentary opportunity and passed through the embers of acid mist like a ghost that had not completely dissipated. A palm covered with black meridians went straight for Mei Terumi's heart.
The speed is so fast and the angle is so tricky, it's already a killing blow!
Mei Terumi's pupils shrank suddenly, and she reluctantly turned sideways. The thunder palm brushed against her ribs, causing a cloud of blood and a severe feeling of paralysis, and half of her body suddenly went limp.
Kakuzu The other hand followed closely, its fingers like hooks, grabbing at her throat.
At this critical moment--
"Alas..."
A sigh with a hint of helplessness sounded from the edge of the battlefield.
Kakuzu The hand that was about to touch Mei Terumi's throat paused slightly.
Muddy green eyes turned to the source of the sound.
The medical ninja who had been ignored by them and was hiding aside in fear.
I saw "Mizunotsuki Uha" standing up at some point, still wearing the ordinary medical ninja mask on his face.
But his eyes were no longer panicked as before, but became calm.
He casually threw aside the mud-stained medical bag that he had been clutching, and patted the dust on his hands.
"Now," he looked at Kakuzu, his voice was calm, but it spread clearly throughout the silent battlefield, "Substitute someone."
Kakuzu stopped his movements, released his grip on Mei Terumi, and looked at this suddenly "brave" medical ninja with great interest.
In his long life, he had seen too many crazy, desperate or ridiculous struggles before death, but it was rare to see someone like this who was as weak as a bug but suddenly stood up and said he wanted to replace someone.
"You?"
Kakuzu's voice was still hoarse and dry, with a trace of undisguised contempt.
"It's not worth anything. You can leave."
He really has no interest in targets without bounties unless they prevent him from making money.
"Yujun! No! Run!"
Mei Terumi, who collapsed on the ground with half of his body paralyzed, shouted in a hissing voice, his eyes full of anxiety.
She didn't understand why Yu would do something that was tantamount to death, and she just hoped that he could take the opportunity to escape.
Shaoyu ignored Mei Terumi's shouts and kept his eyes fixed on Kakuzu.
"Whether it's worth money or not is up to you."
Shaoyu slowly took two steps forward, closing the distance with Kakuzu.
Kakuzu's green eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was reassessing the medical ninja in front of him.
The other party's calmness is so unusual, he is either a madman, or... he has something to rely on.
But either way, Kakuzu doesn't care.
Those who hinder him from collecting the bounty are his enemies.
"Since you want to die, then I'll let you die."
Kakuzu lost his last bit of patience and decided to crush this annoying bug first and then collect the bounty from Mei Terumi.
He raised his hand, not even bothering to use ninjutsu, and slapped Shaoyu's head directly with his palm covered with black meridians.
The speed is not fast, but it carries a devastating momentum, as if it wants to crush this ignorant boy like a watermelon.
Mei Terumi closed his eyes in despair and couldn't bear to look anymore.
However, the expected sound of the head exploding did not sound.
Kakuzu's inevitable palm stopped in mid-air.
No, he didn't stop on his own.
But when he was still about a foot away from Shaoyu's forehead, he seemed to have hit an invisible but indestructible wall, unable to move any further no matter what.
Kakuzu's turbid green eyes revealed a clear look of surprise for the first time.
That unstoppable palm was blocked by an invisible barrier, and just as a look of surprise emerged, a scene that shocked him even more happened.
They only saw the medical ninja - or rather, this man whose true face they had never seen clearly.
He slowly raised his hand and took off the ordinary medical mask on his face, revealing the handsome but cold face underneath.
And the most shocking thing is his eyes!
Scarlet light replaced the gray-blue.
Complex, strange patterns, containing endless profound power and cold beauty, slowly rotate on the scarlet background.
Mangekyō Sharingan!
"Sharingan?!"
"Uchiha?!"
Kakuzu and Mei Terumi exclaimed almost simultaneously.
Kakuzu's cloudy green eyes were filled with disbelief. He had lived for too long and had seen the power of the Uchiha Clan, so he knew how terrifying these eyes were.
And Mei Terumi's mind went blank, staring blankly at that familiar yet unfamiliar face, and those forbidden eyes that only existed in legends and intelligence...
Mr. Yu... is it Uchiha?
What the hell is going on?!
They were not given any time to digest this shocking fact.
Shaoyu The center of the pair of Mangekyō Sharingan seems to have stars in the universe rotating and collapsing.
Facing the astonished Kakuzu, he raised his right hand with his palm upward.
An indescribable terrifying suction force that seemed to swallow up all light and matter gathered and spun crazily in his palm.
The surrounding air, fallen leaves, and even light began to twist and collapse toward the point in the palm, forming a miniature blue sphere that exuded an aura of destruction.
Banshō Ten'in... wrong.
The reversal of the technique·"Cang"!
"Go."
Shaoyu gently spit out a word, and the "blue" concentrated to the extreme in the palm of his hand was like a blue bullet coming out of the barrel, silently, but faster than visual capture, instantly shooting towards Kakuzu who was very close at hand.
Kakuzu is, after all, an old monster who has lived for countless years, and his fighting instinct is engraved in his bones.
When Mangekyō Sharingan appeared and Uchiha Setsuna appeared, the alarm bells in his heart were already ringing.
Facing this unprecedented attack that exuded a fatal threat, he did not hesitate to use all his strength.
"Ho--!"
Kakuzu let out a low roar that was not like a human voice, and his rickety body suddenly swelled.
The tattered cloak behind his back exploded, revealing the ferocious and wriggling black Earth Grudge Fear tentacles beneath it, as well as the strange shadows of masks that broke out from everywhere, representing hearts with different attributes.
Earth Release·Earth Spear!
Fire escape·Fire Release: Head Mutilation!
Wind Release·Wind Release: Pressure Damage!
Lightning Release·Lightning Release: False Darkness!
Water Release·Water Curtain!
Ninjutsu with five attributes was exploded by him at the same time and with full force in the weird way of Earth Grudge Fear.
Earth Release hardens the whole body, the fire and wind merge to form a flame storm, the thunder gun fires, and the water curtain surrounds the defense...
This is almost his strongest defensive counterattack combination in normal state, which is enough to destroy an elite team instantly and even pose a huge threat to the strong Kage Level.
However, in the face of that small, concentrated "Cang", all this seems so pale and powerless.
The blue sphere, which contains terrifying suction and space distortion power, is like a hot knife cutting through butter, easily tearing through layers of water curtains, wind pressure, flames and lightning.
Wherever it passes, the structure of ninjutsu is forcibly disrupted, and energy is brutally sucked in and annihilated.
Earth Release hardens and breaks like fragile glass at the moment of contact.
