Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha is not motivated.

Kakuzu's gaze shifted between the golden walls and Mako, who exuded a sinister aura. Finally, he made a decision that followed his heart.

He slowly raised his hand, and as a stream of golden particles condensed, the short blade that Kakuzu had just thrown as a hidden weapon appeared in his hand again.

"Kakuzu, what do you want to do?"

Chongming was jumping up and down anxiously in Kakuzu's sea of ​​consciousness, and his seven wings were almost smoking.

"I'm sorry, Master Divine Beast, but I have my own code of conduct."

Shaking his head at Chongming in his heart, Kakuzu took a step forward, and under the surprised gazes of the three little ones, he pulled out a golden card from the transformation device at his waist.

"Humans are idiots, after all."

Feeling Kakuzu's firm belief, Nanao curled his lips and shared his chakra.

"Little devil, I am very satisfied with the price you offered."

Looking at the golden card in his hand, Jiao Du slowly inserted it into the card slot on the handle of the short blade in his hand.
"Absorb Queen! Fusion Jack!"

With a burst of mechanical electronic sound, Kakuzu's silver body suddenly burst into golden light, blinding everyone present.
"what!"

The black mist emanating from Mako's body, after being illuminated by this golden light, actually seemed to be suppressed and became listless.

"Wow~"

When the golden light faded, the three little ones saw the horned dragon with gold on its body and wings flapping behind it. They were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.

"second round."

Waving the weapon that had turned into a long sword in his hand, a gleam of light flashed in the red compound eyes on Kakuzu's visor, and then the wings behind him spread out, and the whole person turned into a golden lightning and rushed towards Mako.

"eat"

Satoru, who possessed Mako, sensed the threat from Kakuzu, so he increased the output of his malice and transformed the girl into a form more suitable for combat.

"eat!!!"

The girl's pure white skin was instantly covered with bright red keratin. Soon, it covered her entire body. Her hands turned into dark red claws, and her forearms and calves all grew dorsal fin-like spikes.

"What the hell?"

Kakuzu in mid-air slammed on the brakes, flapped his wings and landed on the ground, looking warily at Mako, whose aura was surging, fearing that the other party was cheating.

"Mako! What's wrong with you?"

When the bright red keratin climbed up the girl's neck, Shenhuo, who was stunned by the scene, finally reacted. He came to the girl's side in an instant, looking at the hideous-looking Zhenzi helplessly.
"Eat God. Lord."

However, how could the girl who had become the carrier of Wu answer his question? Mako's remaining consciousness flashed, but he only struggled for a moment before being swallowed by the overwhelming malice.

"Roar!!!"

Finally, bright red keratin covered the girl's face, turning her delicate little face into a ferocious animal head. The huge green compound eyes occupied most of the space on her face, and the raised arc on the top of her head made everyone think of the piranha in the sea.

"eat"

"Mako!"

Seeing his beloved wife turned into an inhuman monster, Shenhuo immediately reached out his hand to check the situation.
"Boom!"

As a result, the changed Mako completely lost his rationality and slapped the divine fire away several meters.

Although she had a habit of eating people before, Mako would never hurt Shenhuo under any circumstances. Now, it seems that she has completely lost herself.

Mako transformed into a red piranha monster, lying on all fours, staring at Kakuzu with his green eyes, the look of a hunter.

"Ah! How come she transformed too?"

The three little ones were attracted by the aura of Mako's transformation and huddled together tightly. A chill from the depths of their souls made them tremble uncontrollably.
"Her eyes look like she wants to eat someone!"

Little Tuan Zang trembled and tugged at the corner of Sarutobi Hiruzen's clothes.

"Idiot, she eats people!"

"Such a dark chakra."

Uchiha Kagami, stimulated by the aura emitted by Mako, subconsciously opened his Sharingan. As the magatama in his eyes slowly turned, he vaguely saw wisps of extremely dark chakra from the other party's body.

It was a power even darker than the Yintun Chakra of their Uchiha clan, as if it was condensed from pure malice.

"Kakuzu, run now while there's still time."

Chongming's tone was unusually solemn. The monster in front of him was about to break out of its shell.

"Take people's money and help them eliminate disasters."

Every character has his own code of conduct. As long as the money is in place, he will definitely go all out.
If he really paid with his life, it was only because he was not as skilled as others.

"Alas!"

Instead of the simple mumbling from before, the red monster that Mako had transformed into let out a piercing scream, and then exerted force on his limbs, turning into a scarlet streak.
"Bah!"

Kakuzu, who transformed into a guard, did not relax his vigilance. The moment the girl attacked, he raised the long sword in his hand. With a golden sound, the scarlet claws had reached his chest. Fortunately, the defense was timely, so the sharp fingertips stopped a few centimeters in front of his heart.

So fast! So strong!

This was the first time that Kakuzu felt pressure. Even when he fought against Ginkaku's transformed Two-Tailed Knight before, he was at ease and only felt that the knight was difficult to deal with, not a threat. But this time was different. The red monster in front of him could really seriously injure him or even kill him.

“Ah!~”

Seeing that his attack was blocked, the red monster did not continue to entangle, but jumped back a few steps to distance himself, and looked at the weak points of Kakuzu's body intentionally or unintentionally.

Is she conscious?

Mako's action made Kakuzu secretly shocked. Before, the girl's behavior was like that of a beast following its instincts, without any wisdom at all, but now she actually started to think, which forced him to take it seriously.

"Whoosh~"

Mako did not leave Kakuzu any room to think. After locking onto the weak points in his body joints, the fins on his forearms suddenly stood up with a cold glow, then bent down and turned into scarlet lightning again.

Seeing this, Kakuzu quickly flapped his wings and rose into the sky to avoid the attack and gain the advantage in the air. However, the red monster did not give up easily. She bent her waist to gather strength, then jumped and actually caught up with the sky.

"Tear!"

As he passed by the red monster in mid-air, Kakuzu was caught off guard and suddenly felt a pain in his waist. He looked down and found that the place without armor coverage was torn with a wound deep enough to see the bone.

"Plop~"

The red monster who successfully hit the target fell to the ground, dripped the blood from his elbow into his mouth mockingly, and then showed a satisfied expression.

"Alas!"

"Well"

Kakuzu, who also landed on the ground, put his hand on the bleeding wound and looked at the bloodthirsty red monster with a serious look.

This was the first time that Kakuzu had been injured and bled since his transformation, and the black mist that was wrapped around the wound prevented Shigeaki from using the power of the tailed beast to heal his wound, so that the dark red blood kept flowing and could not be stopped.

"Come on! Hunter Knight Sword!"

Seeing that Kakuzu was losing in the fight, the three little ones immediately waved their fists to cheer him up.

"hu~hu~"

The black mist brought by the red monster seemed to be poisonous. It entered Kakuzu's body through the wound, disrupting the flow of his chakra and affecting his mind.

"Don't lose, Mr. Knight!"

Kakuzu, breathing heavily, felt that he was about to be enveloped by the overwhelming darkness, but at this moment, a series of childish calls forcibly pulled him out of the tide of darkness.

"Huh~ It's so dangerous!"

"Idiot, this malice is like a plague, it can't be eliminated at all, but luckily I'm here, otherwise you would have degenerated into a man-eating monster long ago."

Kakuzu was glad that he had regained consciousness, and heard Shigeaki's angry voice in his ears. It turned out that Nanao was desperately suppressing the malice that slipped in from the wound, which gave him a chance to catch his breath.

"I'm sorry, I was careless."

Because of his behavior, he almost implicated the Lord Divine Beast, which made Kakuzu very ashamed and he immediately stood at attention and apologized.

"Okay, okay, this is not the time to talk about this. The guy in front of you cannot be eliminated by conventional means. The old man had no choice but to seal it in the Bliss Box."

Chongming swallowed the malice in Kakuzu's body into his own stomach. As a product of the sacred tree, he could barely digest this malice. Otherwise, if it remained in this human's body, it would only cause endless harm.

"Can it only be sealed?"

After hearing Chongming's words, Kakuzu felt helpless. He didn't know any sealing techniques, nor did he have any sealing props. If he continued to fight with this monster, he would be the only one to die.

"So, run away!"

Chongming ate a piece of dirty stuff and felt a sharp pain in his stomach, but he still endured the pain and made a suggestion to Kakuzu.

"no!"

How can he leave if the commission is not completed? The gold is not hot.
"Which is more important, money or life?"

"money!"

"You idiot!"

Chongming was so angry that he jumped up and down in Kakuzu's sea of ​​consciousness. He wished he could take over the account right now and run away. However, because he had just swallowed a piece of malice, he was feeling unwell and could not take over the account to play for others. He could only bark helplessly in there.

"Hu~ Life is also important. Don't worry, Master Divine Beast. I will take care of both."

The wound on Kakuzu's waist had begun to heal slowly. He glanced at Sarutobi Sasuke who was lying on the ground not far away. That was his mission target. In fact, he didn't need to fight this red monster to the death. He only needed to rescue the monkey-faced man to receive his reward.

"Hey! Little devil, I'll snatch your father away from you in a moment. Do you have the confidence to run away?"

After Kakuzu had figured it out, he asked Sarutobi Hiruzen behind him,
"what?"

"I'll help you hold it for a while, okay?"

Glancing at the three skinny kids, Kakuzu, who was serving well, added,
"Yes! We can!"

The three little ones looked at each other, and after getting a positive answer from their two companions, Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his head and gave a resounding assurance.

"it is good!"

Kakuzu nodded, raised the long sword in his hand again, pulled out the card from his waist, and inserted it into the card slot on the handle. As an electronic sound sounded, everyone present felt an inexplicable gust of wind.

"Tentacle impact!"

"His wings are moving!"

The three little ones behind Kakuzu followed the source of the wind and found that the wind in the field was coming from the wings flapping behind the knight. The shadow of the Seven-Tails condensed behind Kakuzu, and the thin blade in his hand became heavy. His eyes were fixed on the red monster, and Kakuzu instantly turned into a huge tentacle and rushed towards the target.

"Boom~"

The extremely fast speed and huge impact force plowed a deep groove on the hard ground. Facing Kakuzu's ultimate move, the red monster roared and did not choose to dodge. Instead, he jumped high and chopped down at Kakuzu with his one hand with a sharp dorsal fin.

Big cut off!
"boom!!!"

The collision of the two sides' ultimate moves instantly caused a huge aftermath. The three little ones were blown all over the place, and Shenhuo, with scratches on his face, looked at the field with worry. His heart was very complicated at the moment.
This Mako was obviously no longer his original Mako, and had completely turned into a man-eating monster.

"Little devils! Now!"

Suddenly, Kakuzu's sharp voice was heard from the smoke that had not yet dissipated. The three little ones were startled and immediately took a step forward and ran towards the unconscious Sarutobi Sasuke.

"."

When passing by Shenhuo, the three of them were wary, worried that the man on the monster's side would try to stop them, but Shenhuo simply glanced at them and stepped aside, his distracted eyes filled with complexity.

"You guys run away."

Shen Huo looked at the three little ones who were carrying Sarutobi Sasuke and said softly,
"Uncle, aren't you going to run away?"

Although Shenhuo was in the same group as the cannibal woman, he had a good attitude before and even promised to release the three of them.

"I promised that I would never let go."

Even though the scratches on his face were still oozing blood, Shenhuo still shook his head firmly.

"Okay, uncle, be careful~"

It was difficult to persuade a dying person with kind words. The three little guys were not chaste people, so they carried the unconscious Sarutobi Sasuke and ran in the other direction of the town. They disappeared in a flash.

"Phew~ My mission is accomplished."

At this time, the smoke and dust in the sky had just dispersed, and the two people in the field were wrestling. Kakuzu, holding a blade in both hands, was trying hard to resist the sharp claws that were about to grab his face. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that there was no figure, only the place where the gold bricks were left, and he felt relieved immediately.

"Oh!"

So he deliberately relaxed his defense, stepped back, and taking advantage of the time to release the force, he did a few backflips and landed next to the gold bricks. He quickly took out a storage scroll and put all the gold bricks on the ground into his pocket at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

“It’s sent~It’s sent!”

This unexpected fortune is enough to make Jiaodu happy for a while.

"Mako! Wake up!"

Just when Kakuzu packed up the gold bricks and was ready to run away, the sound of the divine fire in the field caught his attention. Looking at the man who was trying to wake up the red monster, he stopped hesitantly.

3500w, it seems that it is not a small amount~
"Mako, I am the Divine Fire!"

Walking up to the silent red monster, Shenhuo spoke tentatively, and after finding that the other party did not have any stress reaction, he plucked up his courage and reached out to touch the other party's head.

"Makko, change back when you're full~"

Gently stroking the ferocious head of the red monster, Divine Fire stroked Mako's long hair as naturally as usual.
"hu~hu~"

There were low humming sounds coming from under the horny skin. The familiar rhythm made Shenhuo happy, so he continued to caress the cold horny shell and called softly,

"Mako, let's go home~"

"Mamako, I bought you new shoes."

"Makko, I."

The gentle whispers made the red monster's taut hands slowly drop, and his green compound eyes flashed with an unusual light, as if two consciousnesses were fighting for control of the body.

"Mako."

"eat"

The familiar muttering came out of the red monster's mouth again, and a ray of hope appeared in Shenhuo's eyes. His efforts just now were not in vain, and Mako's consciousness once again prevailed.

However, at this critical moment, a large silver hand pressed on Shenhuo's shoulder.

"Rebel Ninja Divine Fire, please come with me~"

"Eat!"

Mako, who was finally called back by Shenhuo, was disturbed by this and was attacked by Wu's malice again. She let out a strange cry and suddenly raised her hand to knock Shenhuo and Kakuzu away together.

"Pfft!"

The two people who were blown away by the huge force fell to the ground together. Shenhuo, because of his mortal body, spurted out a stream of blood from his mouth after landing. Although Jiaodu was protected by armor, his internal organs were displaced by this strange force.

"What's going on? Are you stronger again?"

Kakuzu stood up shakily, his tone very surprised, it was obvious that his previous casual attack was not so powerful?

"You evil idiot!"

Shenhuo, with blood all over his mouth, lay on the ground and cursed angrily. He was about to wake up Zhenzi, but this silver monster interrupted him, causing the awakening to fail.

"Eat!"

At this time, the strange sound rang again. The two turned their heads and found that the red monster's green eyes were one bright and one dark, and the movements of his left and right hands were very uncoordinated, as if two spirits were fighting for control.

"Alas!"

But soon, Mako's consciousness was suppressed by Wu, and he turned into the monster with combat consciousness.

"not good!"

When the opponent's green compound eyes locked onto him, Kakuzu's combat radar was instantly activated, and he subconsciously took out his short blade to block.
"Oh!"

But this attack was much more powerful than the previous ones. Kakuzu was grabbed by the red monster along with his weapon and smashed heavily on a stone pillar on the street, smashing the hard stone pillar to pieces on the spot.

"cough cough"

Under the visor, Jiaodu coughed up blood violently, and the horror in his eyes could not be dispelled no matter what.

"Is she on drugs? Why is she so strong?"

That's right, what surprised Kakuzu was the red monster's strength. In the first round of fighting, the opponent's attack was fierce, but not so heavy.
Could it be that the opponent has his own growth panel and becomes stronger the more he fights?

"Mako is naturally very strong."

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Shenhuo stood up tremblingly and explained to Kakuzu standing beside him.

The young man who grew up with Mako naturally knew the girl's little secret. As a thin girl, after refining chakra, her physical strength suddenly became very terrifying. She accidentally beat the divine fire to vomit blood.

In order not to attract attention, Shenhuo has always told the girl to hide this talent, because there are many crazy ninjas in the Land of Grass. If Mako's talent is discovered and she is captured for research, it will be a small matter. But if she is used as a nursery for growing seeds, wouldn't he become a victim?

"It's a physical gift."

Kakuzu has been in the ninja world for many years, so he naturally knows some special talents. It seems that this girl who transformed into a red monster has some special bloodline.

At this moment, Kakuzu felt a little regretful. He could have run away with the gold bricks, but he was blinded by the 3500 million yuan.

"Alas!"

The red monster doesn't care whether you regret it or not. He further controls Mako's body and uses the girl's innate strength to the fullest. He waves his two sharp claws vigorously and grabs towards Kakuzu's face.

"Bah~"

Kakuzu, who was targeted, had no choice but to give up his short blade and switch to the gauntlets on both hands for defense. However, the red monster's strength was too strong. He only lasted three seconds before being knocked to the ground.

"puff!"

Blood oozed from Kakuzu's mouth and nose under the visor. Chongming in his sea of ​​consciousness looked disappointed, and this time he chose to stand by and watch.

Without endangering Jiaodu's life, it wanted to let this ignorant human taste the price of acting rashly.

"Send a broken palm!"

Just as the red monster's claws fell again, a hand with a sharp wind slapped behind it.
"Alas?"

After being hit, the red monster's body only trembled a few times. He stopped his movements, turned his head, and looked at the divine fire attacking him with a little confusion.

At this time, the red monster, after further eroding Mako's soul, has begun to have human consciousness.

"you"

Kakuzu, who escaped the disaster, looked at the divine fire that saved him in surprise. He clearly wanted to capture him for money, so why did he save him?
"Don't overthink it. I need you to help me subdue Mako."

Shenhuo knew that if Kakuzu was killed, no one would be able to stop the red monster, and Mako would not be able to recover. Shenhuo weighed the pros and cons and decided to form a temporary alliance.
“I’m very expensive”

Upon hearing that it was a commission, Kakuzu subconsciously asked for a price.

"Is 3500w enough?"

Shenhuo slapped the stunned red monster with a palm strike, knocking him back a few meters, then he dodged and landed next to Kakuzu, pointed at himself and said,
"you"

Kakuzu, who understood Shenhuo's meaning, was stunned for a moment. He looked at the decadent man in front of him and saw a hint of death in his distracted eyes.

"The agreement has been reached, let's get started."

Ignoring Kakuzu who was speechless, Shenhuo took an attacking stance.

"Alas!"

The red monster's face was full of murderous intent. After exercising for so long, its stomach was hungry again.

"Send a broken palm!"

The divine fire took the initiative, and its palms danced out several afterimages, and slapped towards the red monster at a very strange angle.

"Ah~"

I really just want the 3500w!

Kakuzu, with a complicated expression on his face, tightly grasped the short blade in his hand, gritted his teeth, and chose to leap forward and join the battle.

War is about to break out.

"This guy is quite interesting!"

In the shadows above the battlefield, Uchiha Gin, who had transformed into the Wangliang Knight, carefully looked at the red monster who beat up Kakuzu, and stroked his chin with interest.

"I didn't expect that besides the tailed beasts, there are also guys that can be made into transformation tools~" (End of this chapter)
