Senju Tobirama's heart sank. Kazuki did not use his water release, but used Uchiha Izuna's moves, and even upgraded them!
[Swish!]
When Muramasa's blade collided with Kakuzu's back...
The body, which was originally as hard as a rock, was cut open by the extremely high temperature and huge force!
The severe pain in his back made Kakuzu scream instantly. Kazuki, with a cold expression, applied even more pressure, causing Muramasa to completely pierce through Kakuzu's body.
The sword was embedded in Kakuzu's body, and the scorching heat burned his flesh. Even the black threads wrapped around him began to melt.
But Kazuki wasn't satisfied with that strike. With his chakra enveloping his foot, he kicked out and sent Kakuzu's body flying away from Muramasa's blade.
[Kakuzu has been detected to feel intense hatred towards the host. The target has been linked.]
Kazuki chuckled. He knew that Kakuzu was extremely angry at the moment, but Kakuzu pretended to be a dead man and lay quietly on the ground without moving.
Is this trying to trick him?
Kazuki clapped his hands slowly, with a smile on his lips. "Do you want to continue lying down? If it's later, my companions will have to go back to the village for dinner..."
"As a bounty hunter, I think you still need to strengthen your professional attitude and focus on efficiency..."
[From the target Kakuzu, you gain the mastery of earth attribute chakra properties!]
[From the target Kakuzu, you gain Earth Release: Earth Spear!]
Kakuzu's body trembled noticeably, and countless black lines surged from his body and burst out.
Five creatures with different colored masks quickly emerged from a hidden spot, placing themselves around Kakuzu to protect him.
One of them, wearing an earth-attribute mask, collapsed on the road, his mask cracked in two.
Meanwhile, the other four monsters connected their black threads to the wound on Kakuzu's back, beginning to repair it.
"Kid, you really pissed me off, that's my precious Earth Release heart!"
Kakuzu slowly stood up with anger on his face, not taking his eyes off Kazuki and his sword Muramasa.
"I'm not planning on selling your heart on the black market anymore... I want it for myself!"
Kakuzu let out a scream of fury as the four remaining monsters returned to his body. Black threads began to violently sprout from his joints, mouth, and back. Eight thick black threads formed a sort of barrier that snaked around his body.
The wind and fire masks manifested on his shoulders, while the lightning and water masks covered his left arm.
At this moment, the enraged Kakuzu used all his strength. He wanted to kill Kazuki who destroyed his earth release heart, and he had to hurry to arrest Tsunade and Asuma who were running farther and farther away.
Every second that passed meant millions of ryo moving further away from him.
Just as the battle reached its climax...
Uchiha Madara, who had decided to return to reality to prevent Tobirama's thoughts and techniques from poisoning Kazuki, couldn't resist. Loneliness overcame him and he turned on his White Zetsu television once more, searching for some program about Kazuki.
"Just a glance... just a quick one." Madara said to himself before frowning.
Huh?
Not in the ninja school, not in the Uchiha clan, not even in Konoha, then where?
Uchiha Madara sighed, this is the child who has grown up and his heart is wild...
He quickly formed some seals and, through the White Zetsu information network that covered the shinobi world, he began to search in detail.
"Found it, this White Zetsu sensed Kazuki's chakra..."
However, when the scene captured by White Zetsu appeared before Madara's eyes, his normally ice-cold heart shuddered.
Kazuki didn't look like Tobirama this time. What Madara saw was Kazuki using the Sharingan and employing fire release and kenjutsu techniques with a precision worthy of an Uchiha, cutting open Kakuzu's body!
But now the question Uchiha Madara is thinking about is how Kazuki fought with such a monster!
This is too dangerous!
Uchiha Madara stood up suddenly and ordered the White Zetsu in the connection with the spell: "All White Zetsu near the border of the Land of Fire, give up your surveillance targets now and reinforce Kazuki at all costs!"
"When necessary, you can expose your existence, but there is only one thing, you must ensure Kazuki's safety!"
At this moment.
Near the border of the Land of Fire, thousands of White Zetsu were advancing on the land, rushing madly towards Kazuki's direction!
Uchiha Madara stared at the scene, he wanted to rush over in person!
Uchiha Madara watched intently as Kazuki faced Kakuzu, while comforting himself in his mind.
Nearly a thousand White Zetsu are a very powerful force.
Although the combat intelligence of the White Zetsu was generally low, even the most mediocre ones had capabilities close to that of a special jonin. In addition, they were innate masters of annoying techniques such as the Mayfly.
Some special White Zetsu also master some wood release techniques, and their combat power is even more considerable.
Therefore, as long as the White Zetsu support in time, even if there is an accident in the battle between Kazuki and Kakuzu, it will not endanger his life...
However, despite this, Uchiha Madara's gaze remained serious and conflicted.
It was a mix of conflicting emotions.
Uchiha Madara didn't want to see Kazuki get hurt and hoped that his new brother would show the proud talent of the Uchiha clan and stop using the low-level water release techniques of Senju Tobirama. He was also worried that Kazuki was growing up too fast...
As an old man approaching 100 years old, Uchiha Madara understood a truth: blood is only a starting point for the emotions between people, and the things they have experienced together are the key to determining the final height of the relationship.
It's not that Kazuki is the reincarnation of Izuna's chakra, and he will call him brother when he sees him...
The reason why Uchiha Izuna is his favorite brother is partly due to blood, but the most important thing is the experience of the two people relying on each other in the Sengoku Period.
If Madara wanted Kazuki to be the spokesperson for the Eye of the Moon Plan...
He had to make him fall into his game, giving him enough time to influence him and reshape his thinking.
But here was the problem.
The so-called layout depends on the strategy and force of both sides.
In Madara's opinion, although Izuna was the true leader of the Uchiha in his time, that only happened because he, as the older brother, gave in. But that didn't mean his wisdom was inferior...
Being the eldest brother, Madara naturally considered himself superior in every aspect.
But objectively speaking, Madara believes that although he is better than Izuna in terms of wisdom, the difference was not that great; overall, they were almost on par...
Therefore, for Kazuki to fall into his game, the key would be power.
But Kazuki's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and his talent is so good that even Uchiha Madara is surprised.
If he decided to intervene now, although Kazuki seemed more passionate than Obito, but there was a calmness within him that made Madara unable to see that Kazuki had the potential to turn evil. He does not think that Kazuki has the kind of people and things that cannot be separated, and rashly acting will only make him notice abnormalities.
Madara sighed. Winning over such a talented and intelligent brother was much more difficult than dealing with a simple Obito. He couldn't find a suitable entry point...
He could only put his worries aside for the time being and look carefully.
"Kid, it's been a long time since anyone could make me so angry!"
Eight thick black lines like giant pythons were tumbling in the air. Kakuzu's eyes were full of cold murderous intent. "Seeing your forehead protector reminded me of some past events..."
"The Konoha shinobi I fought for the first time, the First Hokage!"
After Kakuzu finished speaking, he stared at Kazuki's expression, as if trying to find a look of shock in it.
Kakuzu used this trick many times.
And he always managed to stagger his opponents, revealing an opening.
But Kazuki simply smiled, took out a shuriken and casually threw it towards him.
Kakuzu didn't dodge, and the swirling black line knocked down the shuriken in the air.
But he didn't understand why Kazuki would make such a boring test with his strength...
What's the meaning of this shuriken?
Kazuki, with a mocking expression, looked at Kakuzu and said slowly: "Is this how your fight with the First Hokage went? Hiding in the crowd several kilometers away and throwing a shuriken, then bragging for decades that you fought him?"
Kakuzu was stunned for a moment, the veins on his forehead began to throb, and his voice trembled with anger: "Damn child with a poisonous tongue!"
This underestimated him too much!
Back then, Kakuzu fought with a wooden clone of Hashirama for several rounds, but he realized that the situation was not good and quickly slipped away...
Just tell me if this was a fight!
