"It's you again, little brat. You're using these troublesome techniques. Are you that afraid of my scythe?" When Hidan saw that Shikamaru was actually using Shadow Imitation to charge at him, he immediately ran and mocked.
However, he did not notice that Shikamaru had already secretly run to a big tree. Using the big tree to block his line of sight, he was about to confront him head-on.
"You little brat who only knows how to use shadows in the distance are useless against me!" Hidan used his scythe as a stepping stone to dodge the chakra blade that Shikamaru threw over with his shadow, but Shikamaru's voice came from in front of him, shocking Hidan a little bit.
"I don't only use my shadow to watch from the side." Shikamaru stepped on the surface of the big tree and rushed over to punch Hidan, but he was blocked by Hidan. Unfortunately, the shadow imitation technique had succeeded.
"Damn it, you little brat, you used these tricks again." Hidan was irritated. He was even more irritated than when he was smashed by Ryoha's Tsunami Rasengan. Every time, he was tricked by this kid who was weaker than him.
There was no other way. After all, his information had been clearly analyzed by Shikamaru. The difference in strength between the two sides was not too obvious. Moreover, Hidan did not use Ninjutsu or Genjutsu, he only knew curses and hand-to-hand combat. Moreover, his taijutsu was only adequate. In addition, Hidan was too impulsive. It was not difficult for him to be tricked by Shikamaru who was highly intelligent.
"Then let's go over there to play. Konoha's forest is not bad." Shikamaru revealed a murderous smile. He had prepared a grand banquet for Hidan there. It was time for Hidan to receive retribution.
However, although Hidan was lured away, Kakuzu whose heart had been destroyed, still had overwhelming strength in the original work. Now, he was stronger than the original work, and he was even more pressing against Kakashi and the others. More importantly, both of them were waiting for an opportunity, but it was too much for Kakashi to face a Kage-level expert who was stronger than the original.
"Seeing your forehead guard reminds me of Konoha's Ninja who fought against me." Kakuzu looked at Kakashi who was still struggling. He could not help but think of himself. Although he survived in the hands of the First Hokage, he was a bit lucky. In fact, the First Hokage did not chase him and deliberately let him go.
At that time, he didn't give up either. He was dying until the very last moment, and escaped until he was about to be killed. He really wanted to see if Kakashi fought to the last moment.
"Earth Grudge Fear!" Kakuzu arrived in front of Kakashi, his right arm hardened and directly hit Kakashi's chest. However, Kakashi, who was hit, turned into a shadow clone.
"It's useless. In terms of combat experience and combat awareness, you are still too far away from me. Lightning Release - False Darkness!" Don't forget that there were still three monsters who had not attacked. The thick and long lightning spear directly swept over. Kakashi thought to himself that Kakuzu was really worthy of being able to survive in the hands of the First Hokage. He belonged to the same generation as the First Hokage, and his combat experience was too rich. He could guess where he went.
"Lightning Release - Raikiri!" Kakashi had no choice but to use Raikiri to block the False Darkness. However, just as he was about to block, Kakuzu fell from the sky. His Earth Grudge Fear tied Kakashi up and pressed him to the ground. With the wicked bunch of black threads, Kakuzu stabbed Kakashi's heart.
"You have a nice heart. It's definitely high quality. This is a great replacement for the one that you destroyed."
Kakuzu suddenly exerted strength, apparently intending to pull Kakashi's heart out. But suddenly he felt a pain in his chest, and he fell down powerlessly.
"It seems that your plan has succeeded." Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief. Ino also knew medical ninjutsu. She wanted to use her medical ninjutsu on Kakashi, but Kakashi refused, because there was no time. He directly pulled out Kakuzu's wicked black thing from his chest.
"Thud! Thud! Thud!"
There was a heavy sound of footsteps. The remaining three monsters were running towards Kakuzu. Choji immediately used the Expansion Jutsu without saying anything. He turned into a giant, and pressed down his hands to crush the ground, causing cracks to appear on the vicinity.
"Wind Release: Pressure Damage!" One of the monsters had somehow managed to dodge the attack. A wind release was enough to blow away Choji, who had turned into a giant. Then, the three monsters entered Kakuzu's body at the same time. After the resurrection, Kakuzu used Earth Grudge Fear to recover.
"Suddenly shattered? What happened?" Kakuzu felt a little strange. How could his heart suddenly shatter? However, he remembered that when Shikamaru went to lure Hidan away, Kakashi gave him something that he didn't know what it was. He roughly understood that it should be some of his blood that dripped out when he was cut by the Raikiri.
"This guy, Hidan, really won't let me feel at ease. It seems that I have to save him again later." Kakuzu originally thought that no matter how intelligent Shikamaru was, it should be impossibl for him e to kill Hidan. Now it seems that Hidan should have been tricked by Shikamaru again. Even he himself was affected.
"Even if Hidan was an idiot, he should know that I was the one who was hit. However, with the ape brain of his, I am really worried. I should get rid of you first and escape my downfall."
After recovering, Kakuzu had no patience, mainly because he was worried with Hidan low-IQ brain. In his opinion, Hidan was a type of person who couldn't think clearly when he was agitated. No matter how smart he was, he could not use his head properly. Therefore, Kakuzu compared his intelligence to of an ape's.
The speed of Earth Grudge Fear's attack from the ground was so fast that it tied up Kakashi and the other two. Kakuzu was trying his best to dispose the three all at once. Although his two hearts were destroyed and his strength was reduced, he could tell that the three of them had almost no strength to fight back against his full-power attack.
"Water Release: Tearing Torrent!"
"Wind Release: Rasengan!"
"Typhoon Water Vortex!"
Just as the blazing sea of fire was about to engulf Kakashi and the others, two different voices came from behind. The huge water vortex formed by the combination of Wind and Water chakra successfully blocked Kakuzu's powerful Fire Release. The water vapor produced by the three of them. Kakashi and the other two also took the opportunity to break away from Earth Grudge Fear and hide.
"Naruto, you've finally returned from Mount Myoboku," Choji said happily. He could be said to be the top tier mediator of the 12 rookies. He had a very good relationship with everyone.
"That's right. Thank you for your hard work. Leave the rest to me." Naruto was a little bit of a show off. However, it was no wonder. It was indeed difficult for him to stay in Mount Myoboku for so long. If not for the Multiple Shadow Clone juts that increased his learning speed, he might have gone crazy.
