Starting from the root of Konoha, he was the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 26: Xingxiaxiu VS Kakuzu! (Seeking follow-up recommendation votes and monthly votes)

Earth Release-Earth Spear!

Kakuzu's skin turned black in an instant, and then Hoshita Hide fell from the sky and slashed Kakuzu's shoulder with a knife.

Click!

The ground beneath Kakuzu's feet exploded and his feet sank.

However, the ninja sword only cut through the clothes and did not completely break through Kakuzu's hardened skin.

The change in the nature of Hoshita Hide's wind escape technique was indeed very powerful, but Kakuzu's earth escape technique was equally powerful, and this attack was evenly matched.

But Xingxiaxiu was not surprised.

The purpose of falling from the sky was to attract Kakuzu's attention so that he could be caught by Wood Release.

"Wood Release Secret Technique!"

"You are from Konoha!"

Kakuzu looked at Hoshishita Hide and said, "I didn't expect that after the First Hokage, there would be someone who could master such a technique."

"Then I'll take your heart!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kakuzu's body suddenly collapsed and fell to the ground in a puddle of mud.

Earth clone!
Xingxia Xiu used a clone, and Kakuzu, a veteran, did the same when facing an unknown enemy.

Just when Kakuzu's clone collapsed, Kakuzu himself appeared, with three masked monsters beside him.

Kakuzu formed seals with his hands, and two of the masked monsters opened their mouths.

The next moment, ninjutsu broke out.

Fire escape - head hard!
Wind Escape - Pressure!

Boom!

Along with the sound of explosions, a terrible storm swept across, covering the sky and the earth. Wherever it passed, all the grass and trees were instantly shattered.

This was the first time that Xingxia Xiu had seen such a terrifying and large-scale ninjutsu.

In terms of the scale of the explosion, it was even larger than the incomplete version of the Wind Style Rasenshuriken he had used before.

Against an attack of this magnitude, ordinary substitution techniques are completely useless except for defending against it or retreating.

The two Xingxiaxiu looked at the raging flames and formed seals together.

Wood escape-Wooden spindle wall!
Beep!
Layer upon layer of vines rose from the ground, forming an inverted hemisphere that enveloped them.

The outer layer is woven with overlapping and interlaced vines, making the defense stronger.

This application was once used by Hashirama Senju, who successfully dissolved the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball.

But the attack this time was different.

The moment the defense was formed, a firestorm hit.

Rumble!
The wood exploded, layer upon layer crumbling under the impact of the firestorm.

The two Xingxiaxiu retreated again and again, and layers of wooden ingot walls continued to rise from the ground, and then were torn apart by the flames storm.

When the firestorm passed, only one layer of the six-layer wooden wall remained.

At this moment, a large area of ​​this dense forest has been empty, with burnt tree stumps everywhere.

Xingxiaxiu opened her mouth to breathe, the air was hot and burned her throat.

Sudden.

With a bang, the last layer of wooden ingot wall exploded, and a flash of lightning pierced through one of the stars.

This Xingxiaxiu immediately turned into a wooden man.

Thunder Escape - Pseudo Darkness!

Xingxia Xiu was startled, raised his hand and swung his knife, the wooden wall exploded completely, and his figure flew up.

At this moment, the two masked monsters had already flown into the sky, opened their mouths and unleashed ninjutsu, and fireballs and wind balls shot towards Xingxia Xiu in the air.

Xing Xiaxiu swung his sword repeatedly, and the wind blades flew, colliding with the wind balls and fireballs, forming a terrible storm and fire waves in the air.

As soon as Xing Xiaxiu landed on the ground, lightning came at him like plowing the ground, and he could only dodge repeatedly.

Faced with three masked monsters, Xingxia Xiu was inevitably in a mess and didn't even have time to make hand seals or use ninjutsu.

Before he knew it, Xingxia Xiu had retreated to the edge of the open space that he had just created using ninjutsu.

The wind-style monsters and fire-style monsters immediately intercepted in advance, forcing Xingxia Xiu to stay away from the forest.

At this moment, shurikens flew out from the forest one after another.

Kakuzu's pupils shrank as he watched: "Is it really a clone?" The masked monster in the air flew nimbly, trying to avoid the shuriken.

However, this shuriken was blessed with wind chakra by Xingxia Xiu, and its attack range was greatly increased.

The fire monster was hit, and a piece of its dark body was immediately cut off, causing its body to pause.

call out!
The wooden spike pierced through the air and pierced through the fire monster.

In the forest, Xing Xiaxiu made seals with his hands.

The art of cuttings!

The wooden thorns that pierced the fire monster immediately grew into branches and formed a hornet's nest, and the mask was instantly shattered.

The lightning monster immediately flew over the forest, opened its mouth and shot out lightning like a gun.

Xingxiaxiu immediately dodged, and the lightning falling from the sky chased after her.

Sudden.

Xingxia Xiu drew his sword and swung it, several wind blades rolled into the sky, cutting off the lightning and slicing towards the lightning monster.

The lightning monster in the air immediately chose to dodge.

But at this moment, Xingxia Xiu turned around quickly.

Kakuzu had already attacked from behind.

After only two rounds of close combat, the knife in Xingxia Xiu's hand was forced to fall to the ground by Kakuzu.

Xingxia Xiu is also experienced in combat and is not bad in close combat.

But compared to Kakuzu, an old fox who came out of the Warring States Period, he is not even a little bit inferior.

In the high-speed close combat, Xingxia Xiu had no chance to use ninjutsu, and could only rely on the powerful chakra explosive power to increase his strength and barely keep his balance.

Even so, after more than a dozen rounds, he was kicked away by Kakuzu and hit the tree trunk with a bang.

His body slid down from the tree trunk, and before Xingxiaxiu could get up, black tentacles emerged from the ground and wrapped around his body.

Then Kakuzu's hand detached from his body and grabbed his neck.

"You are very good."

"But your combat experience is nothing compared to mine."

Kakuzu appeared in front of Xingxia Xiu, then raised his right hand, and his skin hardened and turned black in an instant.

"Your heart should be the most precious one I have ever gotten."

As Kakuzu said this, he inserted his right hand into Hoshita Hide's chest with a "plop" sound and pulled out his heart.

Looking at the beating heart, Kakuzu's eyes showed joy.

The secret technique of wood escape!
He was deeply impressed by Hashirama Senju back then.

No.

It's impossible to never forget.

Bang!
He threw Xing Xia Xiu's body down casually, and the black tentacles wrapped around Xing Xia Xiu's heart, then drilled into Kai Feng's back.

Xing Xia Xiu destroyed one of his hearts, and now it's just the right time to replace one.

The characteristic of Di Yuanyu is that he can use the nature changes of the heart owner.

I am looking forward to the next results.

Turning around and walking out of the forest, the wind and lightning monsters in the air also flew down and drilled into Kakuzu's body.

Because Xingxia Xiu's other wooden clone automatically disbanded and turned into wood.

Sudden.

Kakuzu dodged.

However, even though he reacted quickly, he was still inevitably pierced through the back by the wooden thorn.

He immediately reached out and pulled the wooden thorn out of his back. Looking at Xingxia Xiu, whose clothes were stained red with blood but who was still standing there forming hand seals, Kakuzu showed an expression of disbelief: "How... is this possible?"

"Your heart has obviously been taken away by me."

Xingxia Xiu didn't say anything, but completed the seals with his hands and activated the grafting technique.

The wooden thorn remaining in Kakuzu's body immediately grew rapidly and branched out, piercing three of the other four hearts in Kakuzu's body with incredible precision, including the one he had just obtained from Xingxia Xiu.

Kakuzu spurted blood from his mouth, his body shook, and then he fell down with a bang.

Xingxia Xiu did not step forward immediately. Instead, he formed seals with his hands, and vines emerged from the ground, tied up the fallen Jiaodu, and hung him in the air.
