What gave Kakuzu an even bigger headache were the two elite Jonin launching surprise attacks from behind.
Kakuzu's sensory abilities far surpassed those of Raijin and the others.
Although One Sword Opens Heaven was doing his best to conceal his presence, waiting for a chance to launch a surprise attack,

Had Corpse Bearer's duo reacted too slowly to this rapid attack, they would certainly have been entangled by Earth Grudge Fear and struggled to break
