"Fire Release: Searing Migraine."
"Wind Release: Pressure Damage."
A vast sea of flames erupted, instantly expanding its burning range upon hitting the ground. Combined with the powerful Wind Release, the flames intensified further, almost reducing everything before them to ashes.
The combined assault of wind and fire firmly suppressed the Anbu Ninja who had rushed over. Yet one towering figure stood motionless amid the scorching flames, roaring furiously, "You rats hiding in the gutters! I'll show you the Raikage's fury and power!"
"Hey, Kakuzu, what do we do now? More and more of them are coming." Hidan had already been stabbed several times, and blood kept streaming from his wounds. Fortunately, his immortal body meant he would be fine for the time being.
"Hmph, that brat does nothing but cause me trouble." Kakuzu stared at the Raikage with resentment in his eyes. "His Lightning Armor's defenses are astonishing. Even my Wind Release can't pierce it. To break through his defenses, we'll probably need the brat to come here and use his swordsmanship himself."
Yugao stood nearby with her sword in hand and asked, "Should we retreat?"
Kakuzu asked, "Can you still use that strike from earlier?"
Yugao shook her head reluctantly. "With my body as it is now, I can only force out the Blade-Breaking Technique once a day. Unfortunately, someone else blocked it."
"We have no choice. You leave first."
Yugao asked in surprise, "What about you two?"
"The fighting here has already drawn too much attention. If we leave now, we won't get another opportunity this good." Kakuzu made no attempt to conceal the killing intent in his eyes. "He's not the only one with reinforcements. We'll have them too. The brat has spent so many years building up the Zero Organization. It's time we bared our fangs."
