"Kakuzu, don't be so stingy. I'll admit it. It's my fault. Get my body back for me." Hidan had indeed remembered this lesson. Moreover, he was not stupid and was only a little impulsive. He understood why Kakuzu did this, so he also admitted defeat. He expressed that he would remember it.
"Since you have already spoken, then there is no reason for me not to help you." Kakuzu smiled with his hidden mouth. His figure flashed and he picked up Hidan's head. The speed was so fast that Shikamaru and the others could not keep up.
"What is he trying to do?" Shikamaru thought to himself as he looked at Kakuzu, panting heavily.
"No matter what you want to do, I will not let you succeed." Having witnessed Hidan's strange technique, Asuma, who believed that his partner would not be worse, wanted to stop him. Unfortunately, he was not Kakuzu's opponent even before he was injured. After he was injured, it was even worse. The injury on his thigh made had slowed him.
Kakuzu arrived in front of Asuma and stepped on him. Then, he used the box containing the money to hit him. However, it was blocked by Asuma's chakra blade. Even so, he was still sent flying. However, Kakuzu's attack was not over. He used the same move again. A knee hit Asuma's back and made him faint.
"So powerful!" Shikamaru was stunned. Although Asuma was injured, it could be seen how terrifying Kakuzu was to be able to defeat Asuma in an instant. More importantly, Kakuzu was holding Hidan's head in one hand and the box in the other. He was fighting with his legs.
"This is what Ryoha said. No matter how high your wisdom is, if your strength can't keep up, it's useless. Once you encounter such a situation, what will you do? Sit and watch everything?" Shikamaru suddenly remembered Ryoha's evaluation of his wisdom.
"Don't move." Kakuzu reached out and pressed a hand on Hidan's head to sew his head back, but it made Hidan tremble with pain.
"Ouch! He could sew his head back?" Izumo couldn't believe it. What he saw today was simply beyond his imagination. Sure enough, the world was too big, and his heart was too small.
"I'll leave the 35 million to you. Leave the rest to me." Kakuzu obviously didn't want to waste time. He wasn't afraid of complications, but he didn't want to give Konoha a chance to prepare.
"Water Release: Starch Syrup Capturing Field." Izumo's expression changed slightly. This Kakuzu was obviously stronger than Hidan, but he could not retreat at this time. It was just that their strength was limited since they were only in the Chuunin level.
"Tsk." Kakuzu made a sound and lightly stepped on the ground to jump over Izumo's Water Release. Looking at the strange weapon that was attacking him in the air, it was obviously Kotetsu's doing. However, he was not surprised at all. His Earth Grudge Fear immediately appeared and blocked the weapon that looked like a flying fish in the air. At the same time, his two hands reached out and grabbed Kotetsu and Izumo's necks.
"Damn it." Although he had already thought that Kakuzu was very strong, he did not expect that he and Kotetsu would be defeated in an instant. It was so fast that he did not even have time to use the Substitution jutsu.
"Hehe, I won't give you a chance this time." Hidan secretly released the scythe. At the same time, he took out a black spear and walked toward Asuma.
"Flying Swallow!" The semi-conscious Asuma suddenly heard Shikamaru's shout. At the same time, he felt the impending crisis and immediately raised his upper body to block Hidan's spear attack. However, Hidan took the opportunity to return to the cursed diagram.
"Ha!" Hidan sneered, and the rope in his right hand immediately pulled over.
"Asuma-sensei, behind you!" Shikamaru wanted to use Shadow Imitation, but it was too late.
"Idiot, I didn't attack you." Hidan watched as Asuma dodged with one foot and smiled mockingly. Asuma immediately knew that things were bad, but it was already too late. Hidan's scythe had already stabbed into his lower abdomen. Asuma suddenly knelt on the ground.
"No..." Shikamaru rushed over. It was too late to stop him because Hidan had already stabbed the black spear into his chest. Asuma felt a sharp pain in his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe. He immediately fell to the ground. If there were medical ninjas at this time, they should be able to save him, but unfortunately, there were none.
"Damn it!" Shikamaru felt like his eyes were about to burst. This was the first time he hated himself for not being strong enough. His brain, which he was proud of, had no effect at all.
"Hey, Kakuzu, I've already settled things here." Hidan was in a very good mood. The ceremony could be considered complete.
"I'm coming as well." Kakuzu immediately increased his strength, clearly planning to crush Izumo and Kotetsu.
At this time, the feathers of crows appeared all over the sky. With a burst of smoke, the feathers turned into crows and suddenly stabbed toward Hidan and Kakuzu. Shikamaru, Asuma, Izumo, and Kotetsu were all saved by Choji and the older InoShikaCho trio.
"I didn't expect that it was still too late." Shikaku turned around and stared at Hidan with eyes full of killing intent. Sure enough, although the number of people was higher than in the original work, those were just some external factors. In the end, Asuma was still unable to escape his death.
"What? There's a lot of reinforcement!" Looking at the InoShikaCho trio, who were famous in the ninja world, even Kakuzu revealed a dignified expression. However, it was only a facade. These three people together, with their skills and cooperation, might be able to fight against him, but after a long time, they would undoubtedly be defeated. He was not worried.
More importantly, he still had to bring over Asuma's body. His body was worth 35 million ryos. If it was gone like this, it would be too wasteful. Moreover, the bounty of the trio was higher than Asuma's. He could not let go of such a big catch.
"Asuma-sensei..." Looking at Asuma who was on the verge of death but still speaking in a low voice, Shikamaru immediately ran over.
"Come back, everyone. We already have a new Jinchuuriki here." At this time, Hidan and Kakuzu heard Pain's voice, which made the two people who wanted to have another fierce battle suddenly stop.
"Can't you be a little later?" Hidan was very dissatisfied. He did not expect that someone was one step ahead of him. Originally, he had already caught Yugito, but she was saved. Now, it should be Itachi's team or someone else's team that captured the Jinchuuriki. It should be the Iwagakure's Jinchuuriki.
"Come back immediately. Sealing the Jinchuuriki is an important matter. Even if you are currently doing anything else, you must leave it at once." Pain's voice carried an indisputable tone. Even Hidan and Kakuzu had to put down their work. However, Kakuzu was very dissatisfied with the 35 million ryos that were about to be in his hands passing by him just like that.
"All of you, listen up. That idiot is already hopeless. You children should just obediently wait here for us to come back." Hidan was also reluctant. However, there was no other way. Pain's strength was not something he could contend against. Even if Pain gave him his blood and let him curse him, it would be useless. This was because the Six Paths of Pain were originally all dead people. Would they be afraid of the curse? Moreover, he did not have the strength and opportunity to do so.
"35 million ryos, I will come back to take your corpse!" Kakuzu pledged to retrieve Asuma's body. Seeing 35 million ryos brush past him, this kind of feeling was even more unpleasant than being seriously injured.
