The scorching sun in the desert distorted the air, and Kakuzu's sutures squirmed like poisonous snakes in the heat wave. He stared intently at the man dozens of steps away.
Setsuna just stood quietly without any unnecessary movements, and even his breathing was as light as if he had blended into the wind and sand.
"Since you have destroyed one of my hearts, I will fill it with yours." Kakuzu's eyes were cold, and the Fire Release mask and the Water Release mask lit up at the same time. "Fire Release·Searing Migraine, Water Release·Water Severing Wave."
The sea of high-temperature fire and high-pressure water cannon collided in the air, instantly generating a steam explosion covering hundreds of meters.
In the cloud and mist that was enough to melt steel, Kakuzu saw the figure of Setsuna penetrating straight through, its body surface covered with a red halo due to the violent evaporation of water.
"Lightning Release·False Darkness!" Lightning Release's mask protruded from the back of Kakuzu, and thousands of thunder guns intertwined into a network.
Setsuna suddenly changed direction, and the shock wave generated by pedaling the air tore a gap in the thunder net.
He spun in mid-air, and his left leg fell like a battle axe. Kakuzu's hastily set up Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall was split in half with one kick, and the aftermath cut a kilometer-long ravine in the desert.
Earth Grudge Fear's tentacles took the opportunity to wrap around Setsuna's ankle, and Kakuzu's one eye flashed with a ruthless look. "Combined Ninjutsu·Heavenly Punishment Exploding Flame!"
In Setsuna, the sky was torn apart, countless thunder guns fell from the sky, and each lightning blast exploded into a blazing fireball the moment it hit the ground.
The desert melted into glass-like pits under the high temperatures, and fire waves swept hundreds of meters, burning even the air.
A group of Genins ran for their lives in a panic, avoiding the aftermath of the battle. They didn't have the time to appreciate the battle until they had escaped several kilometers away.
"That's amazing. Is this the strength of Lord Setsuna?" Iwagakure Genin stared blankly. If he had given up on some unrealistic ideas just because Setsuna's Summoned Beasts was too strong, now he was shocked by Setsuna's own power.
"So strong!" Natsuhi was shocked in his heart. Not only Setsuna, but that assassination ninja was also terrifyingly strong. He had large-scale ninjutsu at his fingertips and could even combine them at will. Compared with him, Hidden Star Village's Jonin was no different from Genin.
Setsuna's figure walked through the thunder and fire. His speed exceeded visual capture. With every step he took, a huge depression opened up in the sand under his feet.
The moment the lightning struck, his fist had already hit Kakuzu's face.
Kakuzu's pupils shrank suddenly, Earth Release Hardening instantly covered the whole body, and at the same time the Water Release mask lit up. "Water Release·Water Formation Wall!"
A wall of high-pressure water rose from the ground, but Setsuna's fist did not stop at all. It penetrated directly through the water curtain and hit Kakuzu hard on the chest.
Earth Release's armor shattered under the punch, and Kakuzu's body flew backwards like a cannonball.
"What a monster. Although it is not as hopelessly powerful as First Hokage's Wood Release, Monster Strength of this level is even better than First Hokage." Kakuzu coughed black blood while frantically repairing the damaged body with Earth Grudge Fear's tentacles.
"From what you say, I seem to be much weaker than First Hokage?" Setsuna asked.
"Haha, humans can't imagine being so powerful that they haven't seen before. You are indeed strong, but you are still far from Hashirama Senju." Kakuzu decisively transformed into "Hashirama blow".
Setsuna has no doubt about this. He can be said to be overwhelmingly powerful at the shadow level, but Hashirama Senju has already surpassed this level.
At least, he has absolutely no confidence that he can suppress Nine-Tails without trying his best, and Hashirama Senju suppressing Nine-Tails is just like playing.
"Having said that, it still makes me a little unhappy." Setsuna clenched his fists.
Watching Setsuna walking towards him step by step, getting faster and faster, Kakuzu clapped his hands on the ground. "Earth Release·Earth-Style Rampart!"
The entire desert began to tremble, rock mountains hundreds of meters high rose from the ground, and countless sharp stone pillars pierced out from the ground, like the fangs of giant beasts.
Setsuna's figure shuttled across the stone Hashirama, and every dodge was accompanied by a blast in the air.
Kakuzu didn't dare to stop for a moment, Lightning Release and Water Release started at the same time. "Lightning-Water Combination·Violent Torrent Thunder Prison!"
High-pressure water columns gush out from the ground, and each stream of water Central City is entangled with high-voltage lightning, forming a death grid covering the battlefield.
"It's really not easy to use a Water Release of this scale in the desert." Setsuna sighed sincerely. Kakuzu will not be particularly eye-catching among future Akatsuki Organizations, but its foundation is undoubtedly solid and scary.
"But, it's useless." Setsuna's body rotated, and an agile Shenron flew into the sky, "Leaf Divine Dragon."
This time, he did not stay outside the "dragon", but hid in the dragon's eye, riding the strong wind and rushing towards the death grid.
Under the strong wind, thunderstorms and water jets also mixed into Shenron, turning into thunder and waterspouts, reaching the sky and the earth.
The Sand Scorpion and giant ants hiding under the sand were swept up into the sky and dissipated without even wailing under the heavy blow of the thunderstorm.
Seeing this horrific scene, all the candidates were so frightened that they could not speak. They could only run away again, not daring to stop for a moment.
"Don't think I'm afraid of you." Kakuzu's sutures squirmed crazily, and the three hearts and the main heart pumped chakra at the same time, "Fire-Earth Combination·Magma Hell!"
The ground melted instantly, hot magma spewed from the cracks, and the fire waves mixed with the rocks to form a devastating lava field.
Kakuzu stood in the middle of the lava, and the Water Release mask lit up, forming a high-pressure water film around the body to resist the high temperature.
The thunder dragon suddenly fell down and violently collided with the lava field created by Kakuzu.
Boom!
Like a falling meteorite, the terrifying air wave blasted away sand and gravel within a kilometer radius, like a sandstorm.
In the sky-filled sandstorm, a figure was blasted away heavily.
This figure was naturally Kakuzu. He was looking at the flowers in front of his eyes, as if he had returned to the moment when he assassinated First Hokage: "Is this my end?"
"No, I still want to live..." Kakuzu's eyes showed a desire for life.
However, Setsuna's figure followed closely like a gangrene attached to the bone, and his right fist struck Kakuzu's heart.
The Water Release protective film of Kakuzu shattered like glass under the punch. The Fire Release mask and the Lightning Release mask lit up at the same time, trying to make a final counterattack - but it was already too late.
"It's over." Setsuna's fist penetrated Kakuzu's chest, and four hearts were shattered simultaneously under the impact.
Earth Grudge Fear's tentacles drooped feebly, and the dying rebel ninja made his last voice. "Your head... can be sold for a lot of money..."
Before he finished speaking, the last suture line turned into powder in the wind of fists.
The desert returned to silence, with only the hiss of cooling lava echoing.
"You really think about money until you die, which is in line with your character." Setsuna shook his head, feeling a little curious.
The future Asuma Sarutobi can have a reward of 35 million taels. I don't know how much his head is worth in Underground Black Market.
PS: Regarding the combat power of Setsuna, I am mainly worried that someone may say that I made the protagonist weak, how could it not be as good as Hashirama Senju, so here is my understanding. In most cases, Qi and physical strength are directly proportional Yes, but there are a few exceptions. For example, Master Roshi's power is weakened due to age, but his Qi is constantly growing. He has practiced Qi for more than three hundred years, so he can destroy the moon with all his strength. There is also Piccolo whose body has regained its youth., but the Qi has stagnated due to the seal of more than three hundred years, so it can only destroy a town with all its strength. If you don't understand it this way, it is difficult to explain that Piccolo, which is stronger than Master Roshi, can only destroy a town even if it sweats. (Although Piccolo also had the performance of destroying the moon, it was the second generation Piccolo, and it was during the training period of Gohan after defeating Raditz. Its combat power is estimated to be close to one thousand)
As for why Master Roshi is afraid of Piccolo, I think there are two explanations. One is that although Master Roshi's Qigong is large in quantity and scope, it is not of sufficient quality to kill Piccolo; the second is that Piccolo can dodge. And Piccolo's body is much stronger than Master Roshi, so he can kill Master Roshi after using Qigong. Of course, because Dragon Ball's early stage is a comedy, there is no need to worry about these combat power issues.
If you have to worry about the power of the moon, you can compare it like this. Otsutsuki Toneri cut through the moon and then lost to Naruto Uzumaki. At that time, Naruto Uzumaki no longer had the Yang Power given by Six Paths, and was defeated by Toneri with the power of himself and Nine-Tails. In this state, he is not necessarily much stronger than Hashirama Senju, so it should not be a big problem to say that Hashirama Senju has the power to nearly explode the moon.
In short, it is set here that Setsuna is the first echelon below Super-Kage. In some aspects, it can be regarded as Super-Kage, but overall it is still not as good as Hashirama Senju.
Finally, please lightly spray Or2.
