Kakashi and Yu vs. Kakuzu

The moment the Great Fireball hurtled toward Kakuzu, a look of pride flashed in Kakashi's eyes!

When he received Hiruzen Sarutobi's request to provide private instruction to Uchiha Yu, he was also secretly observing U's character to see if he was a Konoha Ninja worth training.

Now it seems that everything is as he hoped.

This is a ninja who is well worth investing time and effort in training!

Even if he wanted to learn Forbidden Jutsu, Kakashi was prepared to teach him!

Kakuzu faced the Great Fireball with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Without hesitation, he Hand Seal and unleashed "Wind Release: Pressure".

A powerful Wind Release energy formed in his mouth, like a gust of wind, directly scattering the Great Fireball. Flames flew everywhere, but it did not harm him in the slightest.

Not only that, Kakuzu also cleverly adjusted the direction of his Wind Release, drawing Kakashi into the wind pressure as well!

Although Kakashi reacted quickly, his movements were restricted by the Wind Release technique, making it difficult for him to stabilize his body for a moment.

Kakuzu seized the opportunity, leaping forward to take down Kakashi first.

At the same time, the rough-looking man finally extinguished the flames on his body, which was covered in burns and was in excruciating pain.

He harbored deep resentment towards Kakuzu and Kakashi, but his immediate priority was to eliminate the enemy before him.

He looked at Uchiha Yu in the distance, ready to vent all his anger on this brat!

However, when he saw the tail and wings growing from Uchiha Yu's body, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

What kind of freak is this guy? Is this normal? Is it some kind of unknown technique?

Although he didn't know the details, under the broadsword in his hand, no matter what technique was used, the result was always the same—death.

The burly man brandished his large sword and leaped toward Uchiha Yu, preparing to deliver a fatal blow.

Although his speed was not Kakuzu's, his strength and momentum were astonishing.

The broadsword flashed through the air, aiming straight for Uchiha Yu's neck!

With the aid of the Sharingan, Uchiha Yu's dynamic vision and reaction speed were greatly enhanced.

Although the rough man's greatsword strikes were swift, in Uchiha Yu's eyes, each strike became predictable and dodgeable.

His figure darted through the flashing blades, like a butterfly dancing in the rain, precisely avoiding the fatal "raindrops."

At the same time, the feathers on Uchiha Yu's Ukaku shot towards the rough man like black lightning.

These feathers drew sharp trails in the air, aiming straight for the rough man's vitals!

As a member of the Akatsuki, this rough-looking man's strength should not be underestimated.

Faced with these flying feathers, he relied on his rich combat experience and sharp reflexes to raise his broadsword and sweep the feathers away one by one with astonishing speed.

The clanging of metal echoed through the forest, sparks flying everywhere!

However, just as the rough man was concentrating on dealing with the frontal feather attack, a feather silently attacked from an angle he hadn't noticed.

Like a ghost, the feather bypassed his sight and defenses, and precisely pierced his shoulder!

The pain instantly spread throughout his body, causing him to stiffen!

However, none of the members who could join the New Akatsuki were below the Jonin. He carried a large sword and slashed at the Sky Manipulation in the direction of Uchiha Yu!

Not good!

Uchiha Yu's pupils contracted slightly as he sensed a powerful shockwave heading his way!

The feathers on his Ukaku had not yet grown back, which reduced his speed considerably, making it difficult for him to dodge.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Yu gritted his teeth and froze in mid-air!

"Bang!"

The moment the greatsword's shockwave struck Uchiha Yu, it produced a sound like it was hitting a hard object, which stunned the rough man for a second!

Tekkai!

Uchiha Yu's heart raced, and he felt a discomfort in his internal organs.

Even with the Tekkai, it was still a bit of a stretch to withstand that blow.

"Kid, how did you block that? What's with your tail? Tailed Beast? Which tail are you?"

"I'll tail you!" Uchiha Yu used the disappearing technique to form Hand Seal, condensing chakra in his throat, and unleashed Great Fireball at the rough man!

"Boom!"

The flames of the Great Fireball Technique are extremely hot. The rough man was clearly afraid of Fire Release Ninjutsu, so he slammed his fist down on the ground!

"Earth Release · Earth Wall!"

A tall wall rose from the ground, flames collided with the earthen wall, producing a deafening roar, Heat Wave and dust flew everywhere, and the scene was chaotic for a time!

The rough-looking man stood behind the Earth Wall, filled with doubt and apprehension.

"How can such a small brat have such a huge amount of chakra?"

"Is it Tailed Beast that wasn't mentioned in the intelligence reports?"

Before the rough man could think much, he looked up and saw Uchiha Yu's figure flash above the Earth Wall.

The rough-looking man reacted quickly and jumped over!

"Bang!"

The broadsword slammed hard against the Earth Wall, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The rough-looking man immediately realized that this was just an ordinary clone, not even Shadow Clone. It had no physical form and no offensive power.

Realizing he had been tricked by a mere brat, the rough man slammed his fist down on the Earth Wall again!

At this moment, Uchiha Yu's true form had silently appeared beside Kakashi.

He gave Kakuzu no chance to catch his breath, unleashing three Great Fireball in quick succession, the flames sweeping over Kakuzu like a tidal wave!

Even Kakuzu, a Kage Level powerhouse, had to take time to deal with the high-temperature flames when faced with three Great Fireball, and couldn't focus on anything else for a moment.

Taking advantage of Kakuzu's distraction Kakuzu the flames, Uchiha Yu quickly revealed crucial information to Kakashi: "This guy has five hearts. Don't underestimate him. You can't kill him in one go!" His voice was low and urgent, every word conveying a sense of urgency.

A hint of seriousness flashed in Kakashi's eyes. Although he didn't know where the information came from, he had no choice but to believe Uchiha Yu said was true.

He nodded slightly, and began to quickly devise new tactics in his mind.

Kakkō soared into the sky, and Heat Wave rolled in. Kakuzu's figure suddenly swelled up in the flames, becoming huge and terrifying.

His size had increased several times over, and he now occupied almost the entire center of the battlefield.

Kakashi's Sharingan spun rapidly, reflecting Kakuzu's unusual figure. He was clearly shocked by the change in Kakuzu's Earth Grudge Fear Mode.

Even Kakashi Hatake Shinobi World Copy Ninja is known for copying a thousand Ninjutsu, had never seen such a bizarre Ninjutsu before!

Kakuzu's body was covered by black tentacles, which danced in the air as if they were alive, seemingly possessing their own will.

Two enormous Masked Monster were fused to his shoulders, representing Fire Release Wind Release respectively, making Kakuzu look even more ferocious and powerful!

This is why Uchiha Yu didn't directly use the Heaven Curse Mark combine with the Ukaku and fly away with Kakashi to escape.

Kakuzu, that guy, can fly too.

In the shared footage, Pirate World Fang Yu and Stephen Fang dared not even breathe.

Facing Kakuzu, with only Kakashi from the Twelve Ninja Genin era as their main fighting force, it was difficult for them to think of any way to save Uchiha Yu's life.

unless

He can awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.

The problem is, where can a Two Tomoe open Mangekyo Sharingan?

Is this really the end of the road?
