I am the most popular character in Naruto!

"Even he couldn't kill me, and you still want to fight me!"

Kakuzu intensified his aura, and the several masks on his back simultaneously unleashed ninjutsu.

Boom boom boom

Fireballs, windballs, lightning, and waterballs all exploded as he continuously displayed his power, trying to completely crush Naruto psychologically.

However, Naruto is Naruto. After dodging the attack, he roared at Kakuzu.

"I don't care what happened between you and the First Hokage!"

"All I know is that you will be defeated by me, the future Hokage!"

Chapter 723 This is different from what's written in the documents

"Chakra Blade: Shinichimonji!"

Asuma relentlessly attacked with his flying swallows, and although his attack style resembled a series of jabs in boxing, he couldn't withstand the blows from the knuckle duster...

Oh no.

His chakra blades are incredibly sharp, capable of producing continuous streaks of light.

Asuma infused his chakra into the chakra blade.

Two blue beams of light rose from the chakra blade.

clang clang

Asma obtained two lightsabers!

"The Bloodstained March Scythe!"

Hidan swung his long-handled scythe, which transformed into a giant windmill, spinning as it attacked Asuma.

Asuma narrowed his eyes, gripped the pair of lightsabers tightly, crossed them together, and forcefully blocked Hidan's scythe attack.

"go with!"

Zila

Asuma crossed his chakra blades, slicing them across the blade of Hidan's scythe, creating a spark before pressing Hidan's scythe back.

Hidan grabbed his scythe and immediately manipulated it to perform a spinning top motion.

He had actually anticipated Asuma's attack. Caught off guard, Asuma rolled sideways to avoid the scythe and crashed heavily to the ground.

"Hmph, do you think I don't know how many people want to get close and fight me?"

Hidan snorted coldly. His fighting skills were indeed few, because he didn't need this thing at all.

However, his combat experience can be described as quite extensive, especially his experience with death.

Hidan's numerous experiences with death allowed him to learn about the various attack methods that ninjas were good at, or rather, used to.

For example, agile close-combat ninjas like Asuma like to use something to attract the opponent's attention before using high speed to close in on the opponent and launch a fatal blow.

This is all part of the routine, okay? Hidan has gotten used to dying so many times.

What puzzled Hidan was that Asuma reacted so quickly, dodging his scythe attack.

It would be interesting if Hidan were to obtain a portion of Asuma's blood.

Hidan was afraid of Chiaki, but after Naruto left, the remaining guys weren't very close to Chiaki. Hidan figured that killing one or two of them shouldn't be a problem.

This was one of the reasons he agreed to Kakuzu's request.

If it were merely Konoha ninjas who were killed by themselves...

Qianqiu wouldn't possibly attack me, would he?

perhaps.

Hidan couldn't care less about anything else now. In the midst of the constant battles, his instincts were gradually eroded by his true nature and the consciousness of the evil god, and his fighting methods began to become exaggerated and extreme.

If Kakuzu is an ultimate turret that abandons defense, then Hidan is a berserker who completely abandons everything to deal damage.

Due to his twisted personality, the more Hidan feels injured and in pain, the more pleasure he experiences.

If someone were to share the pain with him at this moment, he would probably be ecstatic.

Ok.

He is a composite, a product of contradictions.

Being abused is fun, and abusing others is also fun; it's outrageous.

"go to hell!"

Hidan, who was slowly beginning to unleash his true nature, swung his scythe at Asuma on the ground without hesitation, and began to focus on obtaining some of Asuma's blood.

Once Hidan obtains the blood, he can use the curse power of the evil god to gain the ability to be injured together with the blood's owner.

"Wind Style! Green Storm Gale!"

Asuma, who was on the ground, quickly rolled over and got up. In order to avoid the scythe, he gritted his teeth and threw the chakra blade in his hand at Hidan's main body.

Two chakra blades transformed into light blades and were thrown at Hidan. Hidan instinctively dodged the light blades, but he did not completely avoid them and was pierced through the shoulder by the two chakra blades.

“Ahhhh——!!!”

"It hurts!"

Hidan's scythe clattered to the ground, and he roared madly, the intense pain contorting his face in agony.

Asuma seized the opportunity to retreat, avoiding the scythe's attack, and broke out in a cold sweat.

"The cult of evil has a ritual that allows it to harm a target and share damage as long as it can obtain the target's blood."

Shikamaru's words were still etched in Asuma's mind. He dared not let Hidan hurt him in the slightest, or even let himself get injured.

Even minor scrapes or abrasions on the ground are unacceptable; he would never do anything that could cause bleeding.

It was only because Hidan's fighting skills were relatively rudimentary that Asuma was able to unleash his full potential in such a constrained state.

Compared to the fearless Asuma in the original work, the current Asuma is much worse.

Asuma took a few steps back, pondered for a moment, and then exhaled a thick cloud of smoke at Hidan, who was struggling.

"Fire escape! Ash accumulation burns!"

Indeed, it's better to rely on ranged ninjutsu attacks to deal with this kind of enemy.

However, due to personal preferences and his desire to go against Hiruzen Sarutobi, Asuma was not very skilled in ninjutsu.

Flames and smoke erupted and exploded. Hidan, amidst the flames, picked up his scythe, spun around, and the scythe sliced ​​through the flames, revealing his true form.

Hidan had changed drastically; his body was now completely black, with white veins showing through.

Seeing Hidan in this state, Shikamaru frowned, and his hands unconsciously clasped together as he began to form hand seals.

"That's impossible. He shouldn't have obtained Asuma's blood."

"What happened?"

Seeing Shikamaru like this, Ino's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly pulled Neji up, "Stop spacing out, get ready to fight!"

Shikamaru has started to think things through, which means Asuma is facing a problem and they might need to step in.

"Lord Chiaki has not appeared during such a long battle."

"In other words, Lord Chiaki might not be on our side, but rather on Naruto's side."

Shikamaru clasped his hands together, his mind racing, listing dozens of solutions to the current situation.

However, he ultimately chose the safest option, since he was unsure of Hidan's current situation and needed to observe him further.

"The evil god's ritual requires drawing a circle and triangle formation on the ground with the opponent's blood, and then standing inside this formation to cast 'Spell: Death Possession Blood'..."

Shikamaru pondered, though he didn't know who had provided such detailed information about the evil god to the Mercenary Guild, it seemed highly credible.

"Go to hell, die, die!"

Hidan, looking terrifying, pulled the chakra blade from his shoulder. The blood flowing through his body was completely absorbed into his own, making his appearance even darker and more terrifying.

"Lord Evil God, please grant me power!"

"?"

Shikamaru and his group suddenly sensed the change in Hidan's aura and froze on the spot.

"This is different from what's written in the documents!"

Chapter 724 Let's have a big one

rustling

The grass trembled incessantly, and after a moment, a man covered in dust and covered with various leaves rushed out of the grass.

"This is terrible, where am I?"

Kakashi removed the leaf from his head and helplessly tugged at his mask.

He chased Minato all the way to the vicinity of Loulan, but Minato left without warning by using Thunder God Technique, putting him in a very passive position.

Then Kakashi thought to himself, since Chiaki and the others are also near Loulan, he might as well go find Chiaki.

As a result, because they were unfamiliar with the area and Chiaki and the others didn't even stay for a day before moving on, Kakashi was led astray by Pakkun.

Poor Kakashi, ever since he went on a mission he's been running around in the wilderness, experiencing the life of wilderness survival.

In other words, Kakashi was well-prepared before going out, and he was also a wealthy man, carrying many sealing scrolls and all his daily necessities.

Otherwise, after spending so much time in the wild, Kakashi would probably have turned into a wild man.

"Ok?"

Kakashi was fixing his appearance when he suddenly noticed a giant eagle formed from ink painting streaking across the sky.

"Sai?"

Kakashi was quite familiar with the two members of the new Team 7.

When Root ninjas leave Root, they are all subject to detailed scrutiny by Anbu ninjas.
