"However, if you want to hit me head-on, don't even think about it." Kakuzu immediately used the Substitution jutsu to dodge. At the same time, the masks on both sides immediately spewed out flames and hurricanes. The sea of fire formed the combination of Kakuzu's Fire and Wind Release appeared once again.
However, it was forcibly cut apart by Naruto's Rasenshuriken. Such a powerful Fire Release was clearly insufficient against it.
"Hmm, I almost forgot about my vast combat experience. It seems that it is very difficult to hit him head-on with my current speed." After all, Rasenshuriken was not Raikiri. It was not a straight-line thrust that maximized the speed. It didn't concentrate the user's power on one point.
"Since that's the case, let's go." Naruto used the Shadow Clone jutsu and rushed forward, while he followed behind the shadow clone to find an opportunity at any time.
"Hehe, is such a tactic useful against me?" A whistling sound rang out. At the same time as Kakuzu retreated, he shot out his Earth Grudge Fear like a poisonous snake, which suddenly crushed the shadow clone. At the same time, the pitch-black arm turned around and attacked Naruto.
"Bang!"
Naruto was inevitably stabbed by the extremely fast Earth Grudge Fear's arm. Just as Kakashi and Yamato were about to attack, Naruto, who was stabbed, turned into a piece of wood with a pop.
"It seems that the trip Naruto made to Mount Myoboku this time was worth the hassle. He must've made p of his previous shortcomings. He even used the Substitution jutsu to perfection."
Kakuzu didn't expect Naruto's clone to be able to hide from him. It seemed that Naruto losing the Nine-tails didn't cause a blow to him, but instead stimulated him even more.
"Again!" Naruto was not discouraged. He summoned his shadow clone again, but this time, both Naruto and his shadow clone were faster than before. Obviously, he was just testing Kakuzu.
"I don't need to care about your shadow clone at all. I just need to make it impossible for you to use it." Kakuzu didn't expect that this leap of his would cause him to regret it for thousands of years. It could be said that his rich combat experience gave him accurate judgment, but at the same time, it also allowed him to easily be in a dangerous state like now.
He jumped into the middle of the air. If his judgment was correct, if he was able to hit the real body, he would definitely kill Naruto. Then, he won. This was determined by his combat experience. However, he didn't expect that Naruto had perfected the use of his Shadow Clone Jutsu, deceiving him in the process.
It was too late for him to dodge in the middle of the air because he was too confident in his rich combat experience.
"I'm very sorry, it's not the real me!" Kakuzu jumped over the shadow clone and shot down from mid-air. Earth Grudge Fear directly stabbed Naruto, who was using the Rasengan to the ground. Unfortunately, Naruto, who was stabbed, revealed a smile of success. At the same time, an ear-piercing whistling sound came from behind Kakuzu, letting him know that he was in trouble. His combat experience was too rich, and he was used to following his thoughts.
He thought that Naruto's original body was definitely the one who used the Rasengan. In the end, he did not expect that Naruto's mastery of his shadow clones had already reached the peak and actually deceived him. It made him believe in his judgment too much. He thought that even if Naruto was able to hit him in mid-air, he would be fine. Instead, he was able to defeat Naruto in mid-air. In the end, he was countered.
"Damn, he's actually behind me." Kakuzu's expression changed greatly. Being hit by this technique was not a joke. Even if he survived, he would not have much combat strength. Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now.
He originally thought that Naruto couldn't escape his control, but in the end, he was too weak. He jumped into the air and crushed Naruto who was using Rasengan. Unfortunately, that was a shadow clone. It could be said that Kakuzu's judgment was correct, but he was wrong because he didn't understand Naruto's Shadow Clones. Moreover, he was too confident that his combat experience was 100% correct.
"Bang!"
"Swoosh!"
Kakuzu's back was hit by the Rasenshuriken, and he was sent flying. In the air, he was wrapped up by a constantly expanding ball of light and trapped in the air. The ball was covered with countless chakra blades that were much thinner than needles, which attacked the meridians of his cells and cut off the connection between chakra points. Even with the Sharingan, Kakashi couldn't keep up with the super high-speed, 360-degree barrage of the Rasenshuriken
When the barrage stopped, Kakuzu fell from the air. He was only left with half a life. Although he was not dead, he fell to the ground and could not move.
"Naruto, you are too powerful." Choji cried with joy. Although Kakuzu did not kill Asuma directly, he was also involved. Now that he saw Naruto defeat Kakuzu alone, how could he not be happy?
"Naruto, he is not dead. Kill him." The one who dealt with Kakuzu in the original work was Kakashi because Naruto was already heavily injured when he arrived at the scene. After using Rasenshuriken, he was even more powerless, so he was the only one to help. But now, Naruto was completely fine. Naturally, it was left to Naruto.
"Well, well, well. Akatsuki bastard, you killed Asuma-sensei, then you should also receive your punishment today! Rasengan!." Naruto condensed a Rasengan in his hand, intending to kill Kakuzu.
"Hehe, I have never thought about this side of the world. Walking on the road of ninjas, you should be ready to kill or be killed. Today, you are stronger than me, you can kill me, and the day after tomorrow, there will also be people stronger than you to kill you. Are you ready?"
Kakuzu was already sure that Naruto was stronger than him. Although he did deceive him with his simple moves, he was sure that Naruto definitely still had a trump card. There was also the scroll behind Naruto's back. More importantly, the sense of danger that Kakuzu had developed over the years made him feel the threat that Naruto hid. It should be the danger of the Sage mode.
Even if Kakuzu was still fine just now, if Naruto entered Sage mode, his overall strength would soar by ten times. It would be extremely dangerous for Kakuzu. After all, he had fought for so long and had been beaten up. Two of his hearts had been destroyed.
It was normal for Naruto, to win this battle without the so-called luck factor. Although Naruto was also lucky at this time, more of it was his strength that decided everything. Obviously, Naruto was different from his original self. The current Naruto had improved a lot, not only in terms of strength but also in terms of wisdom.
"Can I kill him a little later? Let him tell us where Hidan is!"
