"What kind of joke is this? I can deal with you alone. Zetsu, don't interfere. Think of a way to take the Jinchuuriki away." Hidan felt that he had been underestimated. Other than Ryoha's technique, he really did not believe that there was any technique that could destroy his extremely powerful body in an instant.
"This guy is looking down on Byakko too much." Zetsu often followed Tobi, and he often peeked at the battles of various experts. His vision was still very good, and he could tell at a glance that Byakko's strength was absolutely extraordinary.
"Water Dragon Whip!" When Byakko saw that Kakuzu was actually charging toward her, she smiled in disdain. A water dragon appeared out of thin air, and with Byakko's control, it transformed into a long whip that swept Hidan away.
However, Hidan was not someone to be trifled with. Three years ago, his entire body had been shattered. He knew that his ninjutsu and genjutsu were weak. The only thing he could use was his Immortal Body. Thus, he wanted to bring out his Immortal Body to its greatest potential, so he did not slack off and worked hard to train his taijutsu. It was a pity that this guy's talent in taijutsu was really ordinary. If not for his Immortal Body, he would have been fine. His body would have collapsed long ago.
However, although his talent was average, after three years of hard work, coupled with the Immortal Body, he was still much stronger than the original work's counterpart. At least, his attacks were all decent. When he saw the Water Dragon Whip sweeping over, he immediately raised his scythe to block.
He was not stubborn. After all, the Jinchuuriki was more important. Taking advantage of this time, he immediately ran to the back of Yugito who was thrown by Byakko. Unfortunately, he had only taken a few steps when a thick water cannonball shot toward him.
"Substitution!" With Hashirama's cells, it was very convenient for Zetsu to use the Substitution jutsu. He did not need to worry about using up the supply of the wooden substitute. At the critical moment, he used Substitution to avoid it. The Zetsu who was hit by the water cannon immediately turned into wood.
After using the Substitution jutsu, Zetsu immediately hid and then moved toward Yugito at high speed. It was not easy to find him when he was invisible.
"Your ability to hide your presence is not bad. It seems that you are someone who possesses First Hokage's cells. However, although I can't detect your aura, my beast-like intuition can tell where you are. Moreover, even if I can't sense where you are, I can force you out. Your target is this Jinchuuriki, right? Then come out. Wind Release - Ground Fissure!"
Byakko suddenly jumped in front of Yugito. His front claws suddenly slammed on the ground. Wind blades immediately appeared and slashed forward along the ground. Wind blades continuously came out from all directions with Byakko as the center. The incomparably sharp wind blades forcibly cut open the ground and forced Zetsu out, who was hiding under the earth.
"Fwip!"
"Don't underestimate me." A sickle with rope cut through the air toward Byakko, but Byakko curled her lips in disdain. Among so many people, the one she was least worried about was Hidan. Even if she gave her blood to Hidan and made him curse her, it would not cause any harm to her.
Don't forget that other than the battle with Ryoha in the Land of Water, no one knew how much strength Byakko had and how many techniques she had mastered. Moreover, Byakko had only used a few techniques at that time. Even Ryoha, who was fighting with Byakko, did not know how many techniques she had hidden. As the ruler of the sea and land, she was really not afraid of small curses.
"Apart from your immortal body, you don't seem to have anything to show off. Water Release- Water Wall!" A cylindrical water wall constantly rotated to protect Byakko. The constantly rotating water flow unexpectedly blocked the sharp sickle thrown by Hidan, as if hitting a diamond.
While Hidan and Byakko were fighting, Black & White Zetsu was waiting for an opportunity to snatch away Yugito. On the other side, Kakuzu, who was much stronger than the original, also began a fierce battle with Haku.
"Fire Release - Intelligent Hard Work!" Facing Haku, Kakuzu did not look down on them as much as he did with Konoha's Jonins. On the contrary, this little girl in her teens was extremely dangerous to him, so Kakuzu released the Five Hearts Monster from the beginning.
The powerful Fire Release that could turn the surrounding land into a sea of flames immediately appeared. It was much stronger than when he was in the Land of Snow three years ago. Moreover, without the influence of the terrain, Kakuzu's Fire Release was perfectly displayed.
"Water Release - Great Waterfall!." Haku was also not to be outdone. If Kakuzu used the sea of fire, She can also create a sea of water. Water and fire, these two naturally opposing ninjutsus collided with each other in front of the two of them. Boiling sounds continuously rang out. Either the Great Waterfall extinguished the sea of fire, or the sea of fire continuously evaporated the water of the Great Waterfall. The vapor continuously rose up.
"Water Release - Water Dragon Bullet!" Don't forget that Haku was a one-hand seal user. Moreover, her attainments in one-hand seals were even higher than those of Tsunade. This was because whether it was Tsunade, Ryoha, or Kurenai, they had learned one-hand seals from Haku. They had to learn this ability, but Haku was someone who was naturally capable of using them.
She was naturally better than people who learned how to use it later in their life. It was just like a person who was born without water-attribute nature transformation. Learning Water Release techniques would be harder for them compared to those who were born with water-attribute nature transformation. Haku's attainments in one-hand seal were naturally the highest.
The one-hand seal might be very difficult for many ninjas to deal with, but Kakuzu was an exception. This was because he had five hearts, and he could instantly use five types of nature transformation. He could even instantly release such a high-level Fire Release technique as the Fire Release - Intelligent Hard Work earlier. let alone other low-level ninjutsu.
"Earth Release - Earth Flow Wall." It had to be said that in addition to the water and earth nature transformation that Kakuzu had mastered before, he mostly mastered the other three nature transformation's most destructive ninjutsu so he didn't learn any other jutsu, because he prioritized instant release of his most destructive jutsus. He chose to do this because according to his vast experience, it didn't matter if he didn't have many ninjutsus, as long as the ones he mastered were more refined.
But after experiencing the battle at the Land of Snow, he also realized one thing that was lacking. That was, only mastering a few ninjutsu was a waste of opportunity since he could do 5 nature transformations.
If he didn't learn a few more practical ninjutsu, such as the defensive Water Wall, Earth Flow Wall, and so on, it seemed a bit wasteful. In any case, what he learned the most was to focus better, so he didn't need to be distracted much. He didn't need to practice anything, so he could just learn a few more practical jutsus.
More importantly, he didn't learn many ninjutsus, but he learned a few of each nature transformation. Before, he was only able to instant-cast high-level ninjutsu. Now, he could instantly release all the ninjutsus he learned. Therefore, the current Kakuzu was not like the original work. Now he could learn all kinds of techniques, but it was also because Kakuzu had learned many supportive and offensive ninjutsus with high practicality that his proficiency reached the level of instant-cast, which made Kakuzu even more terrible because instant-cast Ninjutsu was one of his strong points.
