"Good."
Uya nodded, then stepped forward and, without wasting any words, went straight to the purpose of his visit to the underground black market: information about the Kusanagi Sword.
It's not that the intelligence network of the underground black market is necessarily more powerful than that of Konoha Anbu, but since the Kusanagi Sword appeared in the underground black market, the underground black market should have more advanced intelligence.
Sure enough, after paying a small fee, Uya got the information he wanted.
One of the Kusanagi Sword, the Heavenly Totsuka Blade, was in the hands of a ninja codenamed " Bloody Hand," who was very famous in the underground black market, almost on par with Kakuzu.
Overjoyed, Uya continued to inquire about information regarding the ninja codenamed ' Bloody Hand,' but very little information was available about Bloody Hand.
Even the underground black market's intelligence network doesn't know where Bloody Hand is now.
Uya was disappointed again, but fortunately, now that he knew who had the Heavenly Totsuka Blade, there would always be a chance to find it.
However, amidst her disappointment, Uya suddenly experienced an unexpected event.
That's the third Kusanagi Sword, the Ame-no-Habaki Sword that Sasuke used in the original work. There's information about that too!
Moreover, it's extremely clear information: the Ame-no-Habaki Sword is in Sunagakure!
This news is of little value to ordinary ninjas, because going to Sunagakure to steal the Kusanagi Sword? Are you kidding me?!
Absolutely impossible!
But Uya is different. Now, even if Uya faces a major ninja village, he is fearless!
In the original story, Deidara was able to decisively defeat the Fifth Kazekage, Gaara, in Sunagakure and even brazenly kidnap Gaara. How could the current Uya be any less capable than Deidara from the original story?
"It seems I'll have to make a trip to Sunagakure myself."
Uya murmured, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
Just considering that the Konoha Ninja have invaded the Land of Wind and are currently engaged in fierce battles with the Sand Ninja, and that one of the leading Konoha ninjas is Tsunade, Uya has ample reason to go to the battlefield in the Land of Wind.
Not to mention that one of the Kusanagi Sword is still in Sunagakure.
Having obtained the necessary information, Uya left the underground black market of the Land of Rain.
Many of the gazes directed at Uya contained not only awe but also a degree of greed, given that Uya's name was still on the underground black market's assassination list, and the bounty was extremely high.
But almost all the ninjas who stayed in the underground black market managed to suppress their greed.
He massacred thousands during Second Shinobi World War, joined forces with Konoha's White Fang to defeat the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki of Both Scales, one of the Five Kage, and joined Hiruzen Sarutobi Hokage, Konoha Sannin overpower and defeat Hanzo of the Salamander, Demigod of the Ninja World.
Each piece of news was like an insurmountable mountain, towering before the bounty on Uya!
Of course, there will always be some people who are driven by greed.
After leaving the underground black market, Uya Uya was still ambushed several times, but he barely even turned his head. He simply threw a punch and killed all the ninjas who tried to kill him.
For the rest of the journey, Uya did not encounter any more assassination attempts.
Just as Uya was about to return to his residence, a sudden Fire Style attack came from Uya side.
Fire Style! Searing Migraine!!
" Wind Release! Pressure Damage!"
In an instant, two extremely powerful Ninjutsu combined, transforming into a towering wave of fire that swept towards Uya.
Although it was only a B-rank Ninjutsu, the person who used it had an extremely high level of mastery over the Nature Transformation of Chakra. While it couldn't compare to Madara Uchiha, it was still terrifying.
After combining Wind Release Fire Style into a composite Ninjutsu, the power of this move even faintly approaches that of an S-rank Ninjutsu!
The terrifying flames surged towards Uya like a tidal wave, as if to suddenly engulf Uya.
However, faced with this terrifying flame, Uya simply and calmly threw a punch.
boom!!!
A punch landed on the air, Setsuna shaking the heavens and the earth.
The Power of Tremors of the Fourth Stage was terrifying to the extreme; with a single punch, it seemed to crush and shatter everything directly in front of it.
The towering flames were extinguished almost instantly by a powerful shock, and the terrifying Power of Tremors continued to blast away into the distance.
Rumble!
The earth was violently blasted apart by the Power of Tremors the tremor, cracking inch by inch until it finally turned into countless fragments.
The ninja who had been secretly attacking Uya showed a look of shock upon seeing this scene.
"It can even shatter my composite Ninjutsu; its strength... is even greater than the intelligence reports!"
The next moment, a dark figure suddenly emerged from behind a rocky outcrop and retreated to one side.
The Power of Tremors crashed down, shattering the mountain rocks into countless fragments that scattered across the earth.
"It's you?"
Slightly surprised, Uya had been thinking that someone capable of using such Fire Style and Wind Release was no ordinary person, but he never expected that the person who appeared would be him.
Kakuzu is one of the Immortal Duo who partnered with Hidan in the original work!
At this time, the Akatsuki had not yet been established, and Kakuzu was still mingling in the underground black market, accepting various bounty missions.
If anyone still dares to target Uya, it's undoubtedly him!
Kakuzu fought against Hashirama Senju. No matter how famous Uya is, he can't compare to the God of the Shinobi World, Hashirama Senju!
Do you know me?
Kakuzu paused slightly upon hearing Uya's words.
Uya looked at Kakuzu, a hint of coldness in his eyes, and said, "How could I not recognize two of the top assassins in the underground black market, alongside ' Bloody Hand '?"
"It's good that we know each other. Your head is worth a fortune, enough for me to personally take action."
A cold glint appeared in Kakuzu's eyes. Without further ado, knowing that Uya was very strong, he immediately went all out.
Sizzle! Sizzle!!!
Terrifying black lines surged wildly from his body, like demons crawling out of hell. Then, several masks, wrapped in black lines, suddenly emerged from his back.
"If you can block my compound Ninjutsu, then try this!"
" Fire Style: Searing Migraine!"
" Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"
" Earth Release, Earth Spear!"
Rumble!!
In an instant, it was another super-combined Ninjutsu of Wind Release and Fire Style, but this time it also included Earth Release.
Furthermore, when Kakuzu goes all out, it's not just a matter of three Ninjutsu!
Two masks, enveloped in black lines, reached Uya's side and unleashed two more Ninjutsu.
Water Release: Water Curtain!
Lightning Release! False Darkness!
Whoosh!!
The surging waters roared and surged, and terrifying lightning bolts roared upwards along the current—it was yet another extremely powerful compound Ninjutsu! (To be continued.)
