Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 582 Secret Technique
Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little skeptical of what the captive said, and he also had a certain understanding of illusion. Known as the Doctor of Ninjutsu, he had a very wide range of knowledge.

Sarutobi Hiruzen cast a genjutsu, and the captive trapped by the genjutsu immediately lost consciousness. The difference in strength between the two of them was quite large, and ordinary rebel ninjas had no way to resist the genjutsu released by the Hokage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked his previous question again with some disbelief: "Who are you? Why did you attack us?"

The prisoner's answer was of course the same as before, and everything he said before was true. As a traitor who could betray his own village, there was no way
After learning that the attack was not initiated by Isshiki, Sarutobi Hiruzen was still worried. This meant that Isshiki's current whereabouts were unknown.

Being attacked directly by Isshiki would actually be a good thing, after all, an enemy revealed from the shadows would lose that mysterious quality that makes people worry.

An attack that could come at any time is more frightening than an attack that has already occurred.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said to Jiraiya with a serious expression: "We must have been exposed to that mysterious enemy. He sent these people to consume our spirit."

Lu Chen watched Sarutobi Hiruzen begin to battle wits and courage with the air, and then he took the initiative to say: "Perhaps these people attacked you for the bounty. I heard that Kakuzu is a very famous mercenary."

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't believe this reason. He dared to attack the Hokage and the Sannin for the bounty. Why didn't he just go to a hidden village and assassinate the Kage directly?

So after thinking for a while, he said, "No matter why he is trying to stop us, we must rush to Takigakure Village as soon as possible. Their purpose in stopping us must be to prevent us from going to Takigakure Village."

He had some new theories about the purpose of these people. Perhaps they were sent by Ohnoki of Iwagakure. As his old rival, the Tsuchikage must have also planted spies in Konoha.

The Tsuchikage might also be eyeing the Seven-Tails. If that were the case, he had to reach Takigakure before the Tsuchikage could. It was even possible that the militant Raikage was also planning to capture the Seven-Tails.

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that time was of the essence, so he immediately gave the order: "Kill the captives and hurry to Takigakure Village."

A masked Anbu directly killed the captive who was under the illusion. Killing was a very normal thing for ninjas. Each of them had killed many people.

The nine-member team immediately headed towards Takigakure Village at an extremely fast speed.

When Kakuzu saw the large-scale ninjutsu, he took the initiative to block a group of mercenaries who were about to escape.

He said in a cold tone, "Where are you going?"

Kakuzu believed that since these mercenaries had taken his deposit, they should repay it with their lives.

The mercenaries who were about to flee were startled by Kakuzu's sudden appearance. In a sudden reaction, they casually threw a detonating tag tied to a kunai at Kakuzu.

The detonating tag is the most lethal weapon for this ordinary ninja.

The kunai collided with Kakuzu's skin like it was hitting steel.

The kunai was bounced away after a sound of metal colliding. Kakuzu directly grasped the detonating tag hanging behind him in his hand. After the violent explosion, he did not suffer any damage at all.

Ordinary ninjas simply have no way to deal with monsters of this level.

It was impossible for this group of people to say that they were planning to escape. After all, Kakuzu's reputation was not built on good temper. He also killed many rebellious ninja mercenaries.

A quick-thinking mercenary nervously said, "Master Kakuzu, we're going to change our ambush location." Kakuzu certainly didn't believe this answer, but he didn't say anything. He still needed these people to attract some attention. "Then we'll set up an ambush up ahead. No one can take my money without doing anything."

The mercenary quickly defended himself, "Master Kakuzu, judging by the scale of the ninjutsu they just displayed, we are no match for that team. Only a strong man like you can deal with them."

At this time, a large number of black lines grew out from the stitches on Kakuzu's body. These things could easily take a person's life.

Kakuzu said in a cold tone, "You want to go against my wishes?"

Faced with the dark line stretching out in front of him, the mercenary naturally didn't dare to admit he wanted to escape. So he could only explain, "Of course I don't. I'm just afraid of delaying your mission, Master Kakuzu."

At this moment, his sweat had soaked his clothes, and the brutal horns could kill them at any time.

Kakuzu didn't care about what these cannon fodders thought. All he needed was a few cannon fodders to attract attention.

"Then go and carry out my orders. This time I will do it myself."

As the nine-member team advanced, Nagato suddenly said, "There's someone ambushing us up ahead."

Ever since he was attacked, Nagato has been using his abilities to monitor his surroundings.

The speed of their advance did not slow down despite Nagato's words, so the explosions were heard soon after.

After being attacked again, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt impatient and ordered the remaining people, "Jiraiya, you are responsible for the enemies here. I will lead the Sealing Squad to Takigakure Village first."

Jiraiya looked very reliable and said: "Don't worry, teacher, I will kill all the enemies here."

Sarutobi Hiruzen led the four-member sealing squad through the smoke of the explosion and headed towards the waterfall in the distance.

Kakuzu launched his own attack after seeing the enemy split up. Divide and attack was his original strategy. Now that the Konoha group had taken the initiative to split up, it was a good choice for him.

"Compound Ninja Technique: Flame Wind Wave"

The two masks released a combined ninjutsu, combining flames and hurricanes to create an attack like a sea of fire that ignited the entire forest.

Wind Style enhanced the effectiveness of Fire Style, and Kakuzu was already incredibly powerful. He selected hearts that specialized in a particular type of ninjutsu. Throughout his long lifespan, he often encountered geniuses exceptionally gifted in certain attributes.

A large-scale fire escape came towards the remaining few people, and Jiraiya and V went towards the cannon fodder who set the trap.

Lu Chen looked at the direction where Kakuzu was, and immediately captured Kakuzu's position by using his Observation Haki.

He was very interested in Kakuzu's secret technique, Di Yu Yuan. Although he would not practice this kind of ninjutsu, this secret technique might be useful in other places.
