"Welcome everyone to visit the Land of Birds again next time!"
The daimyo of the Land of Birds returned safely to the Land of Birds and waved to the three little ones and Didaze with a smile.
"Don't worry! We'll definitely come again if the lord has a mission next time!"
The three little ones excitedly waved to the daimyo of the Land of Birds.
"This mission was really great!"
When Watanabe Kawa came, he had nothing but Kunai Shuriken; when he left, he was carrying many bags and bundles.
The other two nodded seriously as well.
"Alright, remember this mission. Maintain this attitude for all future missions."
Didaze smiled and lectured the three little ones.
The three little ones nodded repeatedly.
Land of Earth
Iwagakure
"Let's do some reconnaissance first..."
Kakuzu prepared to gather intelligence first.
After all, he didn't even know where the sculpture was; where was he supposed to steal it from?
Earth Release: Hiding Like a Mole Technique!
Kakuzu burrowed into the ground and began searching for clues throughout Iwagakure.
After three or four days of searching, Kakuzu finally located the area.
" Didaze's home should be here!"
Kakuzu infiltrated Didaze's house!
"Hmph..."
Kakuzu appeared in Didaze's house and began rummaging through drawers and cabinets in search of the Jashin Statue.
Who goes there!
Suddenly, Kakuzu heard a loli voice.
"There's a little girl in the family?"
A wicked smile crept across Kakuzu's face.
If I were to capture this little girl and use her to threaten Didaze...
Kakuzu looked back
empty
"Get out of here!"
A small Six-Tails creature stood in front of Kakuzu's shoes.
"Slime attack!"
Seeing that Kakuzu wasn't even looking at him, Six-Tails got impatient and spat out some sticky liquid from its mouth.
The sticky slime instantly corroded a hole in Kakuzu's shoe.
Kakuzu also revealed his toes.
"Six... Six-Tails???"
Kakuzu felt a pain in his foot and looked down to see a small creature with six tails spitting slime at his foot.
"Wait, how can the Six-Tails be so small!"
Kakuzu shook his head, dispelling his mistaken idea.
In his mind, the Six-Tails was enormous; how could it be so small?
"You little thing, die!"
With Kakuzu thought in mind, Kakuzu immediately used his tentacles to strike at the Six-Tails!
Border between the Land of Birds and the Land of Earth
"My clone has been attacked."
Didaze was on his way when he suddenly heard the voice of the Six-Tails in his mind.
"Isn't your clone in my house? How could it be attacked!"
Didaze's mind went blank for a moment.
After all, his house was practically in the very center of Iwagakure). Who on earth could possibly get to his house?
My clone told me it was a man with beady green eyes and wearing a mask.
The Six-Tails relayed the information his clone had given him.
"Could it be that guy again?"
Didaze immediately thought of Kakuzu.
"Ze, should I transfer my power back?"
The Six-Tails asked Didaze.
"Transmit it back, I won't stop you!"
Didaze nodded.
After leaving behind enough Chakra for Didaze to survive, the Six-Tails transferred almost all of its Chakra to its clone!
Iwagakure
Didaze's house
"Little things!"
After Kakuzu knocked the Six-Tails to the ground with a single punch, unable to get up, he said disdainfully.
Kakuzu then continued rummaging through the chests and drawers.
"Strong acid liquid!"
While Kakuzu continued rummaging through the drawers, the Six-Tails fox was rapidly growing larger!
It will soon be the same size as Kakuzu.
The Six-Tails deliberately controlled its size; otherwise, it would be too big to fight in this room.
However, the amount of Chakra did not decrease, nor did the power of the attack; only the size decreased.
"What's going on?!"
Kakuzu sensed the attack from behind and quickly rolled away to dodge!
"How could it suddenly become so big!"
Kakuzu was somewhat puzzled, but there was no other way; he had to end the battle quickly!
With his current escape abilities, he could run even if Ōnoki came.
So he's going to try and take care of this little Six-Tails before Ōnoki arrives!
The main reason Kakuzu to attack was because of the size of the Six-Tails.
If the Six-Tails hadn't compressed its size, that Kakuzu would definitely have turned and run away.
" Earth Release: Earth Style Wall!"
Kakuzu quickly Hand Seals using the Earth Style Wall.
With the addition of this new heart, the Earth Style Wall became exceptionally powerful.
Even so, it couldn't withstand the strong acid liquid from the Six-Tails.
Almost instantly, the Earth Style Wall was completely eroded away!
The battle began in Didaze's room, and in no time, Didaze's house was completely ruined.
Fortunately, Didaze had brought all his important belongings with him, and the only thing left in the room was the Jashin Statue.
Didaze felt the item was too sinister and didn't want to carry it with him.
The strong acid also corroded the scroll, and the Jashin Statue fell out.
"This is..."
Kakuzu's eyes lit up the moment he saw the Jashin Statue!
Although the Six-Tails didn't know why Kakuzu wanted the Jashin Statue so much, it still stood in front of him to prevent Kakuzu from taking it.
Tsuchikage Building
Tsuchikage Office
"This is... a fight!"
While grading documents, Ōnoki suddenly sensed two powerful auras locked in battle!
The location was Didaze's home!
" Kōdo, come with me!"
Ōnoki immediately stood up and shouted at Kōdo, and then the window flew out!
Kōdo followed along, looking completely bewildered, unaware of what was happening.
But soon, as Kōdo walked, it also sensed these two powerful auras.
Kōdo and Ōnoki unconsciously quickened their pace and rushed towards Didaze's house!
"Damn it... people are coming..."
Kakuzu expected that he would be blocked for so long, which meant that he hadn't taken the Jashin Statue even after the arrival of the newcomers.
" Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"
Just as Kakuzu was hesitating about whether to leave, Ōnoki directly used Dust Release to attack Kakuzu!
" Earth Grudge Fear: Fire!"
Kakuzu panicked as he saw Dust Release coming towards him and quickly Earth Grudge Fear to block it.
The Earth Grudge Fear was vaporized, which also means that Kakuzu lost one of his hearts.
Earth Release: Hiding Like a Mole Technique!
Kakuzu watched as more and more people headed towards the location, and could only leave Didaze's house with resentment.
"This guy has some nerve!"
Kōdo arrived after Ōnoki had used Dust Release, and immediately saw Kakuzu burrowing underground to escape.
" Kakuzu missing-nin, right..."
Ōnoki watched Kakuzu leave with a gloomy expression, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
"This guy actually dared to come to Didaze's house and steal things, he has some nerve!"
Kōdo also wore an angry expression.
"Ze, that guy named Kakuzu has already escaped."
At the same time, the Six-Tails also reported the information that its clone had given it to Didaze.
Let me guess where he'll run off to...
Didaze sneered.
He intends to block off Kakuzu here!
