Lightning Release: Earth Grudge Fear-I'll Eat, I'll Eat, I'll Eat Eat Eat
In the dimly lit dungeon beneath Konoha, a damp and musty smell permeated the air. Torches on the walls flickered weakly, casting swaying shadows onto the cold stone walls.
Kakuzu was bound Kakuzu and foot to a stone bed, unable to move, as his memories were being extracted by ninjas of the Yamanaka Clan.
The Yamanaka Clan ninja's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat as he focused intently on channeling his chakra into Kakuzu's mind, trying to extract crucial information from his labyrinthine memories, especially information about the mysterious organization "Akatsuki".
However, as a living fossil of the Shinobi World, Kakuzu experienced countless things in his life, and his memories were like a vast ocean, making the extraction process long and difficult.
Time passed second by second, and the ninja continued to dig deeper, but they still couldn't find any core secrets about "Akatsuki," only some trivial and unimportant memories.
The ninja sighed helplessly, stretched, and slowly got up.
He rubbed his aching shoulders, turned around, opened the cell door, and walked into the dimly lit corridor.
As soon as he stepped outside, he keenly sensed an unusual atmosphere.
The Anbu Ninja usually patrolled the corridors were nowhere to be seen, and the silence was eerily quiet.
His mind immediately went blank, realizing that something serious might be about to happen.
Just then, he saw a person wearing an Anbu cat-face mask slowly walking towards him from a distance.
The eyes beneath the mask gleamed with a mysterious light, appearing particularly sinister in the dim environment.
Just as the ninja was about to make a move, a strong sense of dizziness suddenly struck him, as if the whole world was spinning.
His legs went weak, and his body collapsed uncontrollably!
As the figure drew closer, the ninja's vision became increasingly blurry, but when he struggled to lift his head, he saw a scene that terrified him!
In the distance of Konoha at night, a giant orange fox roars to the sky!
The fox was as huge as a mountain, emanating a powerful and evil chakra, and its eyes flashed with an eerie red light.
The ninja from the Yamanaka Clan instantly realized he was under Genjutsu. In this critical moment, he didn't hesitate to bite his tongue, attempting to break the Genjutsu by harming himself.
However, just as he was about to take further action, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head.
Uchiha Yu punched him hard on the head!
The guy's vision went black, and he passed out, his body limp as he collapsed to the ground.
With his Observation Haki, Conqueror's Haki, and the Genjutsu abilities of his Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Yu could easily infiltrate places like this, as if he were returning home.
Uchiha Yu silently Earth Flow the dimly lit room, where a nauseating smell of blood and decay filled the air.
His gaze pierced through the darkness and landed on Kakuzu, who was tortured beyond recognition in the corner.
Kakuzu's body was Binding Vow by layers of iron chains, and his tattered clothes barely covered his battered body. His face was full of exhaustion and pain.
"Sashiburi~ Kakuzu- san." Uchiha Yu's voice broke the silence, as if he were simply greeting a long-lost old friend.
Kakuzu groggily opened his eyes, and his previously dim gaze suddenly lit up the moment he saw Uchiha Yu —a light ignited by anger.
"You wretched brat!" he shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice hoarse with rage.
The prolonged torment did not diminish his stubbornness; instead, it intensified his hatred.
Uchiha Yu paid no attention to Kakuzu's curses. With a slight smile, he slowly pulled open his clothes, and in the dim light, two masks hidden inside his body were gradually revealed.
Wind Release: Earth Grudge Fear!
Water Release: Earth Grudge Fear!
Kakuzu's eyes widened instantly. The moment he saw the two masks, he felt a rush of blood to his head and almost fainted on the spot.
"You bastard!" His curses grew louder, filled with endless anger and resentment.
These two masks were the source of his power, but now they had been taken by Uchiha Yu, how could he tolerate this?
Uchiha Yu seemed to have anticipated Kakuzu's reaction. He Earth Flow forward unhurriedly, his gaze falling on the only intact Lightning Release Mask remaining on Kakuzu's body.
"Tell me, where did the other Fire Release and Earth Release Mask go?"
Kakuzu didn't answer, but continued to hurl insults, his words becoming increasingly fierce. His eyes were filled with hatred as he stared intently at Uchiha Yu, as if he wanted to tear him to pieces with his gaze.
Seeing this, Uchiha Yu shook his head helplessly.
He knew that communicating with Kakuzu at this moment was impossible.
He took out two small Senbon needles from his pocket, the needles gleaming coldly in the dim light.
He approached Kakuzu step by step, his eyes revealing the anticipation one feels before a grand feast is served.
Rubbing two Senbon needles together from side to side looks just like rubbing the barbs off disposable chopsticks.
Under Kakuzu's horrified and furious gaze, Uchiha Yu aimed his Senbon Needles at the edge of the Lightning Release Mask and stabbed it down.
A strong sense of unease welled up in Kakuzu's heart. He tried to struggle, but he was tightly Binding Vow by iron chains that had the property of sealing chakra, and could not move! This feeling was similar to that of Devil Fruit User being restrained by Seastone.
As expected, Kakuzu's guess was confirmed!
Uchiha Yu used Senbon to wrap the black lines on the mask around his body, and then began to sew them onto himself!
"You madman!" Kakuzu shouted in despair. He felt like an octopus watching its tentacles being eaten, and his helplessness and anger reached their peak.
But his cries seemed so powerless in the dimly lit room, and he could only watch helplessly as Uchiha Yu slowly took away his last symbol of power.
With the last stitch completed, a Lightning Release: Earth Grudge Fear Mask was now firmly placed on Uchiha Yu's body!
The patterns on the mask blended seamlessly with his skin, and faint flashes of lightning emanated from it.
He slowly raised his head, his gaze falling on Kakuzu again, his eyes like a predator staring at its prey, full of pressure.
"I'll ask you one more time, where did the Fire Release and Earth Release masks go?"
Uchiha Yu's voice was low and cold, echoing in the dark and damp dungeon, each word seeming to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
Kakuzu gritted his teeth, remaining silent, his face filled with determination.
His lips trembled slightly with anger and restraint, yet he stubbornly refused to speak, as if declaring to Uchiha Yu that he would rather die than reveal a single word.
Uchiha Yu frowned, clearly finding Kakuzu's attitude troublesome.
He paced back and forth, pondering a solution.
The dungeon was silent except for the sound of his heavy footsteps and Kakuzu's deep breathing.
After a while, Uchiha Yu stopped, a resolute glint in his eyes.
He took a deep breath, and as his chakra surged, black, writhing Earth Grudge Fear emerged from his body, twisting and turning in the air, making chilling sounds!
Kakuzu's expression instantly tensed upon seeing this. He didn't know what Uchiha Yu was going to do, but his instincts told him that what was about to happen would be terrible.
"Eat him!" Uchiha Yu coldly uttered three words.
Kakuzu hearing this, Kakuzu's heart tightened, and he instinctively began to struggle, the iron chains rattling loudly as he pulled them.
However, the Earth Grudge Fear did not speak immediately. Seeing this, Kakuzu breathed a slight sigh of relief, thinking that he had escaped a calamity.
But the next second, the expression on his face instantly turned Shocker.
Uchiha Yu's Sharingan spun rapidly, emitting an eerie red light.
Under the powerful control of the Sharingan, the Earth Grudge Fear seemed to be given new commands, baring their fangs and Kakuzu as they pounced on Kakuzu, instantly engulfing him.
