As usual, it was noon.
The accompanying samurai took out their cooking utensils and prepared to cook a meal on the spot.
At this moment, Haruma, disguised as Danzo, stepped out of the palanquin.
"Boom!"
The ground beneath his feet cracked open, and a single hand, connected by countless black threads, gripped a Kunai and swiftly thrust it toward Haruma's forehead.
Thump,
The figure that had fallen to the ground in the Haruma exploded into a cloud of white mist.
Splash!
Kakuzu, who emerged from the ground, narrowed his eyes and then looked towards the sedan chair.
After spending two days figuring out the team's movements and eating habits, they infiltrated Kakuzu, Kakuzu they knew the team would pass through, but the ambush turned out to be such a failure.
"You already noticed?" Kakuzu asked in a low voice, his mind already on edge.
"Of course." Haruma, stepping out of the sedan chair in her true form, said with a smile, "I didn't expect that one of the two people I value most in the Akatsuki would deliver himself right to my doorstep."
"That's quite a pleasant surprise."
Kakuzu's heart tightened.
He knew the organization, and what did it mean that he valued one of the two people?
Kakuzu glanced at the samurai around him who seemed oblivious to everything and were still cooking, and his vigilance increased even further.
Haruma approached slowly, a flash of crimson appearing in his eyes, and said softly, "The documents these people have are a bit important to me. We should find another place to discuss them."
" Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"
A large-scale, spiraling hurricane burst forth from the mouth of Haruma at close range!
The sudden Ninjutsu attack caught Kakuzu off guard. He had no time to react Kakuzu used both hands to block in front of his head. In the blink of an eye, he was blown hundreds of meters away by the hurricane.
Splash!
A hundred meters away, Kakuzu bent over and gripped the ground with both feet, his shoes leaving long tracks on the ground!
"This is troublesome." Kakuzu stared at Danzo not far away and muttered to himself.
That was the Sharingan, wasn't it?
No wonder those warriors were unmoved; it was Genjutsu.
Noticing the crimson in Danzo's eyes, Kakuzu was surprised for a moment before being hit head-on by the Wind Release technique.
Approaching leisurely in the Haruma, she said softly with interest, "Could you ask how much the bounty is on my head at the Bounty Station?"
Kakuzu remained silent, slowly removing his robe to reveal his combat uniform underneath.
"Judging from your appearance, my bounty must be quite substantial."
Haruma shook her head, muttering with some annoyance, "I shouldn't have given that old guy the chance to self-destruct."
"What a waste of such a large amount of resources."
" Earth Release · Earth Spear!"
His hands, covered in stitches, had hardened and turned black.
Kakuzu instantly closed in, his hands, wrapped in earth-attribute Chakra, aimed at Haruma's head and slammed down!
Haruma's smile remained unchanged. She slightly shifted her body to dodge, and with one hand, she grabbed Kakuzu's wrist from below!
With a sudden burst of power from his right foot, he delivered a powerful side kick aimed straight at Kakuzu's lower back!
"Bang!"
The Kakuzu was kicked more than ten meters away with such force, crashing into a small hill and scattering pebbles.
Splash,
Kakuzu stood up unharmed, his tone icy. "No physical attack will work on me."
"Yeah?"
Haruma chuckled, and suddenly, endless blue light erupted from his drooping left hand! It sounded like the cries of thousands of birds and beasts, piercing and dangerous!
"Look carefully~" Haruma said slowly as she dragged Chidori along, looking at Kakuzu with a playful tone.
Kakuzu didn't respond, his gaze fixed intently on Danzo's every move!
If such a powerful Ninjutsu were to hit, it would destroy a heart.
"Sizzle!!"
"Um!!"
What's going on?!
Kakuzu let out a painful groan! His eyes widened in disbelief as he looked down at the lightning that had pierced through his chest!
They were clearly in my sight just a second ago, how did this happen?!
Thump,
Kakuzu, his heart shattered, collapsed to the ground.
Behind him, Haruma glanced at the fallen Kakuzu and curled his lip. Birdsong resumed!
"Playing dead to launch a sneak attack is no honorable tactic."
After saying that, he used Chidori again, aiming at Kakuzu's other heart and pressing down!
Water Release: Water Curtain!
Suddenly, a human-shaped mask cracked open behind Kakuzu, spewing out a surging wave!
Realizing he couldn't launch a sneak Kakuzu, Kakuzu immediately analyzed the weaknesses of Chidori!
This is a close-range, thrusting Lightning Release Ninjutsu. It uses Water Release to conduct electricity, and this person will also be injured by this technique at close range!
Haruma's eyes lit up. As expected of a Shinobi World fossil in his nineties, his combat experience was unparalleled.
Kakuzu thought Danzo would abandon his Lightning Release and retreat, but he was wrong!
"Sizzle!"
Kakuzu gritted his teeth in excruciating pain; yet another of his hearts had burst!
Not only the Kakuzu of the ground, but also the Haruma, soaked by the water curtain, were covered with a bluish light!
But he possesses Yin-Yang Release, coupled with the extraordinary regenerative power of Wood Release Kekkei Genkai!
Such a lightning strike is nothing more than a strong massage in the face of Haruma!
"Restore the method! Flaming winds and chaotic waves·Strange-faced explosions of flames!"
Two more masks opened their mouths behind them, and the Chakra of wind and fire attributes mingled together!
This time, Haruma didn't try to withstand the attack head-on. Instead, she retreated slightly and used an extremely fast Body Flicker Technique to appear at the top of the hill!
"Boom! Boom boom!!"
An extreme explosion, Kakkō shooting skyward!
The aftershocks swept away pebbles and a fierce wind!
At the mountaintop, Haruma's white robe fluttered in the afterglow of the waves!
The wind is quite noisy today!
As Qing Tian watched the monster slowly emerge from the Kakkō, Haruma crept onto his face.
The Kakuzu on the ground now resembled an umbrella-shaped lizard, with countless black threads transforming into long tongues. The remaining three heart-shaped masks opened up an umbrella-shaped barrier made of black threads from the neck!
With his dark green pupils fixed on Danzo atop the mountain, Kakuzu calmly analyzed the situation.
The Water and Earth elemental hearts exploded, yielding Kakuzu two pieces of information in return.
1. Very strong in close combat!
Second: His resistance to Lightning Release is astonishing!
Kakuzu was unaware that Haruma's survival from the Lightning Release attack was not due to resistance, but rather to his exceptionally high regenerative abilities.
That's how it is...
Kakuzu narrowed his eyes, Chakra began to surge!
The mask, formed from three hearts, has its mouth slightly open, exuding a terrifying aura!
Haruma, sitting atop the mountain, wore a smile and showed no intention of interrupting or stopping him.
"Is this the secret technique Earth Grudge Fear, that allows one to steal another's heart and survive indefinitely?"
Haruma sighed softly, "It's comparable to Orochimaru's Reincarnation Technique, but both are flawed, inferior forms of immortality."
"It's less about immortality and more about the art of longevity."
In Haruma's opinion, Orochimaru's Reincarnation Technique only enhanced physical vitality, but the damage to the spirit was definitely severe, otherwise it wouldn't have been so easily countered by the Sharingan!
Kakuzu's secret technique Earth Grudge Fear, does not harm the spirit and can also diversify Chakra attributes.
But the brain was left with a fatal injury!
Logically speaking, no matter how many hearts you have, if I punch your brain and blow it out, you can't regenerate.
Moreover, when using the secret technique, one must transform into the appearance of a lizard, which is extremely ugly.
Even if she had the money to exchange, Haruma had no intention of learning these two techniques.
Buzz,
On Haruma is extremely sensitive to spatial changes, one can clearly sense the power accumulating below about to reach its peak. The slight tremors in the space surrounding Kakuzu are the best proof of this!
Lightning Release: False Darkness!
Fire Style: Searing Migraine!
Fire Style: Scythe Press!
A low shout Kakuzu!
The long-awaited Ninjutsu attack was like Tailed Beast Ball!
It surged straight up to the mountain peak with terrifying force!
