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

"Crack!"

A dazzling flash of light came on, and Uchiha Gin held the camera, concentrating on finding the best shooting angle.

As a model, Utane Koharu is still a little bit restrained and unwilling to show her strengths.

Uchiha Yinmei looked at Utatane Koharu who was kneeling upright and covering her vital parts with her hands, and couldn't help but frown.
"How can you be a qualified Fu Liji if you are so secretive and timid?"

"Feel sorry."

There was no other choice, Uchiha Gin had to personally provide guidance and tailored several poses for Utane Koharu, and the effect came out immediately.

"Very good! Keep this position, bend your waist down a little bit, and put your hands on your calves. That's it! Otherwise, you'll be wearing these fishnet stockings in vain~"

"But won't this make you look fat?"

Following Uchiha Gin's instructions, Utane Koharu, who had her upper body pressed against her thighs, held her chest in somewhat restrainedly, fearing that her fat upper body would affect the photo shoot.
"Click! Click! Click!"

"No, no, this kind of beautiful collision is the best shot every photographer pursues."

Although Utane Koharu appears as a shriveled old woman in the original work, the old Konoha warrior who is now in his early twenties is still very tough.

But to be honest, in order to become Baimao’s disciple, one must at least have good looks.

"Damn you Decade! He actually made Xiaochun pose in such a provocative way!"

Danzo, who was standing by, kept on making slanderous comments, but his lustful eyes never left Utane Koharu's slender thighs.

"Ah, this kind of rustic outfit can actually show such a terrifying charm."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who also half-closed his eyes, looked at Utane Koharu who had suddenly transformed from a country girl into a succubus, and lowered his gun in disbelief.

"Monkey! If you look at me again, I'll tell Lake Biwa!"

Seeing his best friend openly looking at his goddess with such dirty eyes, Danzo got angry and issued a cold warning.

"Just go ahead and say it, and those who are innocent will be innocent."

After being exposed, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not panicked, but looked righteous.
"what?"

You old pervert, are you pretending to be a lemon to me?
"I'm studying. I'll take some private photos of Lake Biwa when I get back."

After earnestly clearing himself of the suspicion of peeping, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo who was full of suspicion, revealing a look of deep sorrow.

"Danzo, you are too narrow-minded!"

"Monkey, I'm going to the morning office!"

……

"It's fixed. Do you think you're satisfied?"

Finally, with Uchiha Gin's unremitting efforts, he finally completed the set of pictures limited to Taimanin. He looked at the finished picture in his hand with satisfaction and handed it to the anxious Koharu Utatane.
"Is this really me?"

Koharu Utane's hands were shaking slightly as she held the camera. The unfamiliar photos made her fall into self-doubt. She was known for her rustic appearance, but was she really the charming ninja in the photos?
"You have a pretty good foundation. If you want to take photos in the future, you can contact me and I'll give you a discount."

"Many thanks!"

The relaxed atmosphere in the spectator seats diluted the tension caused by the Tailed Beast Bomb. Everyone felt relieved and turned their attention back to the island where the battle was taking place.

The golden knight waving his seven wings was still confronting Uchiha Madara. The two seemed to be standing still, but in fact they were clashing with each other.
Rich chakra materialized behind them, and the gray beetle and the fiery red fox, like ghosts behind them, opened their mouths wide, and a roar that did not actually exist was heard by everyone.

"Give it a try, Kakuzu. Let that stinky fox see the bond between us!"

Chongming's voice echoed in his ears, giving Kakuzu great courage. After taking a deep breath, he raised the huge Chongxing sword in his hand, assumed a sprinting posture, spread his wings, turned into a golden stream of light, and rushed towards Uchiha Madara.
"Huh~ You actually want to duel with Uchiha?"

The reawakening sword with a mighty force came towards him, and Uchiha Madara sneered.
【Blade】

He swung the gun blade in his hand, transforming it into a one-handed sword, and then a red light flashed in his eyes.
With the help of the Sharingan's dynamic vision, Kakuzu's slashing movements were like slow motion, and he could see every muscle twitching in his arm clearly.
"嚓~"

He held his sword forward and steadily caught Kakuzu's blow. Uchiha Madara tilted his sword to release the brute force of the move. The Sword of Reawakening smashed to the ground uncontrollably, creating a large hole in the solid ground.

"Bah!"

Seizing the opportunity when Kakuzu's attack was about to start, Uchiha Madara instantly appeared behind him and thrust out with the sword in his hand, aiming at the vital spot on his back.

"Buzz~buzz~"

At this critical moment, Kakuzu felt a chill on his back and flapped his wings rapidly. The strong airflow generated forced Uchiha Madara to retreat a few steps, and his attack failed.

"Come again!"

After finally meeting an equal opponent, Uchiha Madara decided to take his time, waving the white sword in his hand. After making a beautiful sword flower, he moved like a ghost and slashed at Kakuzu who was waiting for the opportunity.
“Hmph~!”

Finally, this sword did not cause any trouble and hit Kakuzu's chest armor directly. Before the excitement in his eyes rose, he felt the hardness of the sword and frowned.
"If it's just this level of attack, I'd advise you not to waste your energy."

"Humph!"

When had he ever been mocked like this by an outsider? The anger of being despised instantly filled Uchiha Madara's chest. He swung the long sword in his hand with great force, turning it into several streams of light and stabbing towards Kakuzu's flaw.
"Bang! Bang! Snap!"

I thought that my attack could defeat this ignorant ninja, but the result was beyond Uchiha Madara's expectation.
His relentless attack only left a few faint white marks on the opponent's heavy armor.

"I don't believe I can't break your defense!"

Uchiha Madara also started to compete with Kakuzu. The belt around his waist flashed red, and the white sword in his hand immediately caught fire.
The blade, which was imbued with pure fire chakra, stabbed towards Kakuzu with suffocating heat.

Kakuzu saw this move and stopped pretending. Although he knew that his defense was amazing, he still ought to be careful.
So he raised the Reawakening Sword in his hand, took out two water-attributed Earth Grudge Cards from his body, and put them into the card slot of the weapon.

"Wow~"

Visible water-attribute chakra was wrapped around the golden broad blade. Holding the hilt with both hands, Kakuzu spread his wings behind him and chose to confront the oncoming Uchiha Madara head-on.

"boom!"

The blazing white sword collided with the surging golden awakening sword, sending out a strong shock wave.
As the temperature alternated between hot and cold, the air in the venue was sucked out, and everyone felt their breath stagnate and could smell hot steam in their noses.

Uchiha Madara, who was fighting with Kakuzu, was getting more and more excited.

"Yes, you are qualified to dance with me!"

Ignoring the scorching steam around him, Uchiha Madara rushed towards Kakuzu who was breathing slightly. His movements were swift and it was obvious that the previous fight had no effect on him.

boom!
Rumble!
The two men fought head-on again. The sound of weapons colliding was deafening. Kakuzu relied on the strong defense of his golden armor to barely resist Uchiha Madara's torrential rain of attacks.

But as time went on, Kakuzu discovered that his movements had become slower and slower, his armor had more and more scratches, and the sword in his hand had become heavier.

"Zhongming, that idiot, actually wanted to defeat him. This guy is not an ordinary descendant of Indra. He is still asleep, right~"

The Nine-Tails, who was at ease serving as a pendant for Uchiha Madara's transformation, looked at Kakuzu who was already a little exhausted, and pulled his big mouth full of sharp teeth with disdain.
It does not need to use precious original chakra to fight like Chongming. It only needs to contribute inexhaustible tailed beast chakra to support the materialization of Uchiha Madara's own abilities.

"Boom!"

At the moment when Kakuzu was distracted, Uchiha Madara's sword pierced the gorgeous armor on his arm. In the surprised eyes of everyone, the armor inlaid with the Earth Wrath Mask actually shattered and turned into a hideous wound.

"Well"

Looking down at the wound that was emitting unstable chakra, Kakuzu frowned as he felt that he had lost a life.
His golden armor was inlaid with twelve Earthly Wrath Masks, in order to use the immortal power of this forbidden technique to counterbalance Chongming's violent origin chakra.
Once this delicate balance is broken, he will be in danger of being blown up by the tailed beast's original chakra.
"It can't be delayed any longer."

Temporarily controlling the power that was escaping from his hand armor, Kakuzu gritted his teeth, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and then he slapped the driver on his waist with one hand. Eleven Earth Grudge Cards popped out from various parts of his body and floated beside him.
"Oh? Are you ready to win with one move?"

Feeling Kakuzu's determination, Uchiha Madara suppressed his excitement and his expression became a little solemn.
"Senior Jian! You don't have to do this."

Mako, who was watching the battle from the side, looked at Kakuzu who was preparing for the final kill, with a look of deep pity on his face.

"I take money from others and help them get rid of disasters. I have my own code of conduct."

Even though Kakuzu has lost everything and has become a homeless prodigal, the ideals he holds in his heart have never changed.

If he doesn't value his promises, what's the difference between Kakuzu and those who betrayed him in the past.

"bring it on!"

"Kakuzu! Do you want to die? Your body can only withstand the power of five cards at most."

In his sea of ​​consciousness, Chongming saw Kakuzu throw out eleven cards at once, and his eyes turned black with anger.
When he used five cards just now, Kakuzu's body could barely resist the erosion of the Earth's Undead Power.

If he used eleven cards at once, even if he survived, he would completely lose his human identity and become an immortal monster.

Eleven Earth Grudge Cards were floating around, with masks depicting people who looked neither human nor smiling. Kakuzu looked at those who had hurt him, and with a firm look in his eyes he lowered the sword of reawakening in his hand.
"I will challenge fate and defeat you!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, and eleven cards fell into the weapon's card slots one by one. The sound of various attributes being loaded could be heard.
And every time he entered a card, a huge mask would appear in front of Kakuzu, and they would be stacked up one after another until there were eleven.

"Very good! I recognize you for this chakra!"

Looking at Kakuzu whose chakra was becoming increasingly profound, Uchiha Madara's expression once again changed from solemn to excited. He did not expect that this bounty hunter had such a move, which really surprised him.

Kakuzu no longer had the energy to talk to Uchiha Madara. He was fully focused on his final attack. He slowly raised the sword in his hand.

“Ultimate Royal Straight Flush”

The red compound eyes locked onto the perverse-looking white knight, and with a twist of his wrist, he charged towards the huge mask in front of him.
"Oh!"

Every time he wore a mask, Kakuzu's chakra became more intense. As his running speed increased, the chakra on his body became so intense that it could be seen with the naked eye.

“Hahahaha! As expected, only an opponent like this can make my blood boil!”

The corner of the white knight's mouth pulled out a terrifying smile under the mask. As a battle fanatic, Uchiha Madara was glad that he came to participate in this inexplicable competition, otherwise he would not have met such an interesting opponent.

[Boost Tactical Victory] "Whoosh!"

He swung out the white sword in his hand, the tip of the sword flashing a strong blue light, and stabbed directly into the mask that Kakuzu had not yet penetrated.

“Puff! Puff!”

Under the long sword infused with great power, the Earth Wrath Yu's mask did not block for long before it was torn through.
Seeing this, Uchiha Madara slapped his belt and disappeared on the spot. When he reappeared, he was already following the long sword and came in front of Kakuzu who was sprinting.

"Tsk!"

Kakuzu, who had not yet completely absorbed all the power of the Earth Grudge, looked at Uchiha Madara who had destroyed several masks, and thought to himself that something was wrong.
But the move has been released. Even if he has not gathered all the resentments, he must collide with the opponent.

The golden sword swung down heavily, and Uchiha Madara did not dodge, but slapped the Nine-tailed Buckle on his waist.

"Come on, come on~"

The Kurama inside immediately understood the instructions and continuously channeled the tailed beast's chakra.

【Boost IX Strike】

Feeling the power filling his body, Uchiha Madara made a gorgeous turn, raised his right foot and kicked hard at the tail of the white sword in front of him, then confidently turned his back to Kakuzu, waiting for news of victory.

"Shh!"

White lightning struck the golden giant blade swung by Kakuzu, and for a moment the two sides were deadlocked in place.

"Well"

Kakuzu used up all his strength, his face flushed red, but the huge force from the white sword in front of him almost made the sword slip out of his hand.

"Bang bang."

After a brief pause, a crisp shattering sound rang in Kakuzu's ears, and the golden sword of reawakening in his hand began to crack, and the speed of spreading was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it covered the entire weapon.

"As expected. Did you lose after all?"

Kakuzu had a bitter look on his face. He looked up at Uchiha Madara, who was confident with his back to him. He was deeply aware of the huge gap between the two sides. Even if he used all his skills, the other side seemed to be able to cope with it.

Even now, the opponent may not have used his full strength.

"I'm sorry, Master Divine Beast, I might be dying."

Once the giant sword in his hand could not withstand the thrust of the white sword and was completely shattered, Kakuzu would be pierced through the chest by the remaining power of the sword.

"Senior Jian, let me help you!"

Just as Kakuzu was about to face death, an urgent voice sounded behind him, and the dark red Piranha Knight jumped up, crossed his arms in an X shape, and the sharp spikes on his gauntlets flashed a cold light.

"Double! Heavy! Big! Cut!"

Mako poured all his strength into this ultimate move, which was enough to split mountains and rocks under normal circumstances, but when it hit the white sword, it did not shake it at all.

"Hmm, haven't you eaten yet? Wu, give me some strength!"

In the stalemate, Mako's voice became a little violent, but this threat actually worked. The spikes on his arm armor suddenly became thicker and longer, like the scythe of death.
The dark red chakra attached to it was actually absorbing the tailed beast chakra that was escaping from the white sword.

"Oh?"

Uchiha Madara, who hadn't heard the victory announcement for a long time, finally chose to look back at the explosion. He found that someone was actually messing up the situation, and the other party's methods were a bit weird.

"That guy is eating my chakra!"

His own chakra was being taken away right under his nose, and Nine Tails was so angry that he jumped up and down, with a fierce look in his eyes.

Finally, with the help of Mako, the Sword of Reawakening was successfully preserved just before it was about to break.

"Bah!"

The white sword swung by Uchiha Madara fell to the ground due to the lack of chakra support, and turned into white light particles and disappeared on the spot.

"Whoo~"

Kakuzu, who was barely standing with the damaged version of the Reawakening Sword, let out a long sigh, and then looked at the cracked giant sword in his hand with lingering fear.
"Hiccup~"

Mako, who landed on the ground nearby, burped, which was a pity. From his green compound eyes, one could clearly sense what the other person had eaten to his satisfaction.

"are you an idiot?"

Seeing that Mako was in good shape, Kakuzu couldn't help but curse out loud,

"Huh? Shouldn't Senior Jian thank me for saving his life?"

Touching his full stomach, Mako tilted his head in confusion.

"I'm really good at thanking people, aren't you afraid of getting yourself into trouble?"

"Senior Jian is my teacher after all. How could I stand by and watch him die without helping him?"

Although Kakuzu only taught Mako for a short period of time, the two got along well with each other, and Kakuzu even gave him some of the family feeling that he had been missing for many years.

"It's so annoying~ It's just a show!"

Kakudu, who is stubborn and doesn't want to add any unnecessary worries, is destined to be a homeless prodigal son.

"Have you guys had enough of the small talk? Let's go together this time~"

Seeing that Kakuzu had left him alone and was chatting animatedly with the crimson knight, Uchiha Madara, feeling left out, spoke in a bad tone,

"Senior Jian, please take a rest first, let me meet him~"

Mako, who had just consumed a bellyful of the Nine-Tails' chakra, felt that he now had endless strength. He stood in front of Kakuzu, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

"No, we give up."

Kaku rolled his eyes in annoyance. He knew what level Mako was at. Besides, this woman was not suitable for fighting in her current condition. So he pulled her back and shook his head at Uchiha Madara.

"Hmph! Smart move."

Uchiha Madara is not the kind of person who would pester others. Since the other party has admitted defeat, he will not continue to force him. After leaving a few words, he turned around and left.

"Senior Sword"

Mako looked at Kakuzu who had taken off his driver in confusion, not knowing why he gave up.

"He hasn't used his full strength yet, but I have already played all my cards."

Curling his lips, Kakuzu looked at the eleven extra cards in his hand with a very complicated expression.
“What are these cards?”

"I didn't expect to use them in the end. I still don't have enough concentration."

With a sigh, Kakuzu stuffed the cards into his bag.
"Are we leaving now?"

At this time, Mako also cancelled her transformation, and even her teacher Kakuzu admitted defeat. If she continued to fight, there would be no result, so she might as well go up and drink the milk tea ordered by her husband.

"Well, go to the spectator seats and witness the final winner."

Kakuzu nodded, and Mako jumped onto the spectator seat. When Shenhuo saw his wife coming, he immediately ran over to greet her.
"It's not shameful for you to lose to Supasa Q~"

Uchiha Gin, who had been waiting for the two for a long time, waved to them and said something very friendly and comforting.
"He is not as skilled as others. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the winner of this match."

Kakuzu sighed slightly inwardly, then replied with a look of relief,
"It's okay, try harder next time, I'm rooting for you~"

You have made the Emperor Sword for me, Laodu, you have a bright future ahead of you!

"And next time?"

Everyone present was stunned when they heard this. Could it be that this kind of competition will become a permanent event in the future?

"Of course. The fate of a knight is to fight. As long as the knight exists, the fight will never end~"

Uchiha Gin shook his finger and pointed out the ultimate fate of the knight.
"Mako, you're not hurt, are you?"

Shen Huo checked his wife up and down with a worried look on his face. Zhenzi smiled and shook his head, then touched his slightly bulging belly, and the expression on his face gradually became gloomy.

"Sorry, God."

"I should be the one to apologize. You are the one who fought and suffered. As someone who can only do OMO, what right do I have to criticize you?"

Shenhuo had a gentle look on his face as he gently stroked Mako's smooth hair, his voice filled with a strong sense of self-blame.

"It's okay. We can think of other ways. I heard that there is a gynecologist in Konoha who is well-known in the ninja world. We can go find him and take a look."

"How about we go ask that Emperor Brother first? Maybe he has a solution. Even if he can't help us, at least he can show us a way."

His eyes fell on Uchiha Gin standing beside him. Recalling the other party's magical qualities, Shen Huo thought for a moment and decided to take a risk.
If the other party is also unable to help, the couple will have no choice but to go to Konoha to find a professional doctor.

On the other side, Uchiha Gin looked at Kakuzu who was counting the damage with a look of regret.
"Laodu, I can only say that you have bad luck. You met a pervert in the qualifying round. Otherwise, you should have been in the top three~"

"There will be rewards for the top three?"

Kakuzu's eyes went dark when he heard that. If he had known earlier, he would not have given up so hastily.

"That's not the case. Only champions have that."

"That's fine. The sooner you invest, the sooner you finish. You know I'm making millions every minute now~" (End of this chapter)
