"Damn Uchiha brat. Dying at my hands would be a decent end for you."
The instant Kakuzu finished speaking, the fire mask on his shoulder opened its mouth, and a raging Fire Release: Searing Migraine roared toward him.
The scorching sea of flames swallowed the entire battlefield.
Uchiha Jin dodged aside with the Body Flicker Technique, his black clothes fluttering in the firelight as his Mangekyō Sharingan slowly turned.
Kakuzu snorted. Black threads shot out like venomous snakes, winding toward Jin. At the same time, the lightning mask spat out Lightning Release: False Darkness, its sharp lightning tearing through the air in a two-pronged attack.
Earth Grudge Fear was Takigakure's secret technique, which Kakuzu had stolen after killing its leaders and defecting.
His entire body consisted of vast numbers of black Chakra Threads that could freely change shape and separate.
He could also store four additional hearts taken from others inside his body.
Each heart corresponded to an elemental nature. Destroying one heart would not kill him; all his hearts had to be destroyed to kill him.
Each masked monster on his body was a heart, and destroying a mask meant destroying a heart.
Uchiha Jin was fast and easily avoided both attacks.
Kakuzu's expression grew grave. Having his combination attack evaded made him realize that the brat before him was no pushover.

Caution was the foundation of his survival in the Shinobi World. If he carelessly got himself killed, wouldn't all the money he had saved over the years end up benefiting someone else?
Nothing in life was more painful than dying with money left unspent.
Just thinking of someone recklessly squandering the money he had painstakingly saved over the years
