Kakuzu Attacks

Uchiha Yu once analyzed Kakuzu's Combat Power.

Take Kakuzu's most powerful ninjutsu, Lightning Release: False Darkness, for example.

Using the Lightning Release Mask of Earth Grudge Fear, any lightning bolt he casually fired had the destructive power of Chidori.

The key point is that this ninjutsu is not just a bolt of lightning.

Feeling the few strands of hair on his head standing up due to static electricity, Uchiha Yu immediately shouted, "Run!"

As soon as the voice fell, of the Five-Man Squad, apart from Kimimaro who quickly dodged to the side, the other four were collectively struck down from the tree trunk by the Lightning Release: False Darkness!

Uchiha Yu's eyelids twitched!

This was five years before the story began.

Even if the Five-Man Squad of the Konoha were five years later, Genin still hold their own against the Twelve Ninja Genin.

Not to mention Kakuzu, a powerhouse at the Kage Level.

That's not nearly enough.

Kimimaro, sweat beading on his forehead, looked at the masked man in the Fire Clouds -patterned uniform perched on a distant tree trunk.

The black Cursed Seal climbed up half of Kimimaro's body, attempting to confront him head-on.

Uchiha Yu Kimimaro is truly a madman, the leading lady of the Kaguya Clan — Warrior Race!

His Earth Cursed Seal has only just reached the Second Stage.

Kimimaro, who was not yet familiar with the abilities of this stage, was at most a Chunin level.

Even the grown-up Gaara couldn't beat the weakest member of Akatsuki, so Kimimaro, who was completely dominated by the young Gaara, was delusional to think he could go toe- Kakuzu.

"Run!"

Uchiha Yu didn't say much, but instead reminded Kimimaro while forming Hand Seal.

"Water Release · Water Wall!"

The moment the Water Wall rose, the flames of Fire Release: Head Hardship instantly enveloped the two of them!

The scorching fire turned the Water Wall erected by Uchiha Yu into steam in less than three seconds. Kimimaro broke out in a cold sweat and realized the gap between himself and his enemy.

"His target is me, you run!"

Uchiha Yu gritted his teeth and said, releasing the Water Wall again.

"Lord Orochimaru ordered that you be sent to Konoha!" Kimimaro didn't even mention the consequences of disobeying orders, stubbornly insisting on obedience.

"I advise you to leave quickly, lest you all die and Orochimaru has no one left to rely on, and he grabs me ahead of time to use as a laborer. Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Boom—

The massive fireball ignited the tree Kakuzu had just stood. Uchiha Yu, who was in mid-air, quickly scanned the battlefield with his Three Tomoe. Using his Observation Haki, he locked onto Kakuzu's location and threw out more than twenty shuriken in one go!

"Do do do do!"

All the shuriken struck the large tree behind Kakuzu, who simply turned slightly to the side and dodged all the attacks.

"Damn brat."

As a hot-tempered old man, Kakuzu was already showing great restraint by not recklessly unleashing Lightning Release: False Darkness in a Red Eye frenzy.

Because he didn't know how one of his Earth Grudge Fear had been stolen, he was afraid that if he burned Uchiha Yu to death, the Earth Grudge Fear would be gone forever.

Without Wind Release, Kakuzu's strength would be greatly reduced.

That's not as simple as five minus one.

The pressure emanating from the Wind Release Mask of the Earth Grudge Fear can be combined with Fire Release to form the Composite Ninjutsu: Flame Wind Violent Wave.

This technique, even with the chakra reserves of the Main God Fang Yu, could burn to death Toguro Enhancement Da Qiang and Freddy's mental world collapsed.

Moreover, Kakuzu uses this technique with his massive chakra reserves.

Kakuzu stretched his shoulders. "Do you know how long I've been waiting for you here?"

Uchiha Yu cried out guiltily, "Do you know how long I've felt guilty?"

Kakuzu snorted coldly and threw a shuriken at Uchiha Yu!

"Call out!"

The shuriken grazed Uchiha Yu's arm and shot into the tree trunk behind him, piercing straight through!

Its power was so great that even the weak Kimimaro ashamed!

"Damn Uchiha brat!" Kakuzu dismissed Uchiha Uchiha's ability to dodge the shuriken attack as solely due to the Sharingan's power. "I've never tasted the heart of a three-tomoe Uchiha before, give it to me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he threw a punch at Uchiha Yu!

Kakuzu's Earth Grudge Fear technique far surpasses that of "Fang Yu". He can use the black blood vessels of the Earth Grudge Fear to split his body with his fist, using the blood vessels as a link between his fist and body, thereby achieving the effect of a rubber Rocket at a certain angle.

However, while young Luffy's Rocket was something Uchiha Yu dared to withstand Kakuzu, Kakuzu did not.

He raised his arm and silently prayed!

Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!

At the same time, the First Order Genetic Lock and the Heaven Curse Mark Stage Two are activated!

Kakuzu stared wide-eyed at the several large snakes that were entwined with his Tentacle Punch, his eyes filled with a mixture of anger and surprise!

He cursed under his breath, "As expected, he's a brat connected to that traitor Orochimaru!"

The several large black snakes that the Hidden Shadow Snake Hands had transformed into were flicking their scarlet tongues and tightly coiling Kakuzu the Tentacle Punch of Earth Grudge Fear. The snakes twisted and turned, wrestling with Kakuzu!

Kakuzu felt a considerable pulling force on his arm. He tried to pull it back but was tightly bound, and for a moment he was in a stalemate!

Kakuzu's eyes widened. How could this be?

Uchiha Yu rarely showed a smile.

Kakuzu is truly wasting his life. If he had studied physics, he should know that with such an angle of force and his arm stretched so long, plus the fact that Uchiha Yu was backed by a large tree, it would be strange if Kakuzu move it.

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, a strange opening suddenly appeared behind Kakuzu, and then a black monster wearing a blue mask slowly emerged from Kakuzu's body!

The monster was enormous and exuded a chilling aura; the moment it appeared, the surrounding air seemed to become heavy.

Upon seeing this, Uchiha Yu felt a sense of foreboding. He had been planning how to take advantage of the stalemate to find an opportunity to escape, but Kakuzu's unexpected change had instantly shattered his plans.

At this moment, his movements were restricted by the tug-of-war between his wrist Kakuzu's.

The Water Release monster leaped straight at Uchiha Yu. Just as the latter was about to cut off the snake's tail, a white figure darted out!

"Shikotsumyaku: Dance of the Camellia!"

Kimimaro showed no fear, and charged straight at the Water Release: Earth Grudge Fear monster with his bone sword in hand!

Kimimaro attacking, the Water Release: Earth Grudge Fear Monster immediately began to gather power in its mouth, preparing to unleash its Water Release.

Kimimaro moved swiftly, trying to get close to the monster before it could unleash its ninjutsu.

However, the Water Release: Earth Grudge Fear Monster instantly completed its ninjutsu preparation. With a loud "boom," a powerful water cannon shot out from its mouth, like a raging torrent, sweeping towards Kimimaro.

Wherever the water cannon passed, the ground was instantly blasted open, soil and rocks were thrown high into the air, and thick water vapor filled the air.

Upon seeing this, Kimimaro immediately changed his strategy, unleashing his agile Taijutsu — Shikotsumyaku: Dance of the Willow!

Kimimaro moved quickly along the edge of the water cannon, trying to find an opening.

However, the water-escape monster kept adjusting the direction of its water cannon, tightly suppressing Kimimaro.

Kimimaro seized an opening, leaped into the air to avoid the direct impact of the water cannon, then turned in mid-air and, using the momentum of his descent, swung his bone sword at the Water Release: Earth Grudge Fear Monster!

The Water Release: Earth Grudge Fear Monster swiftly raised its arm, enveloping it in the water flow created by Water Release Water Formation Wall, and took Kimimaro's attack head-on!

The bone sword collided with the water, splashing up a spray of water and making a piercing metallic scraping sound. Kimimaro used the reaction force to leap back several meters and land steadily on the ground!

Upon seeing this, Kakuzu burst into laughter. "I'll take both of their Kekkei Genkai' hearts!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his expression changed slightly, and he pulled back his Tentacle Punch and dodged to the side!

Just as he dodged aside, a figure with thick eyebrows and big eyes appeared on the branch where he had been standing, kicking his leg!

Steadying himself, Might Guy gave Uchiha Yu a thumbs-up, his teeth stinging Kakuzu's eyes in the sunlight!

Kai shouted, "As expected of Kakashi's student! Hang in there! I'm coming to save you!"
