Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

It is not afraid of powerful opponents; even the strongest ninja cannot kill it, at most they can only seal it.

Where is it not a seal?

but.

These people were acting suspiciously, which annoyed it. Now it seems...

They have quite a few people.

Chiba didn't lie to it.

What do we do with these guys?

"Arrest him, take him back for research."

Chiba said calmly.

Four masks.

Kakuzu went all out, releasing four masked monsters, essentially abandoning all his extra self-defense abilities in an instant, and decisively running away at the first opportunity...

He truly lives up to his reputation as a veteran powerhouse, deeply understanding the art of survival.

Chiba's inner monologue.

"Roar!"

The four masked monsters roared and simultaneously used ninjutsu to attack Chiba.

but.

Although their ninjutsu had a wide range and considerable power, it was still slightly inferior to Chiba's Tailed Beast Cloak and Chakra Armor.

soon.

Chiba approached and sealed the Lightning Release mask with a sealing technique.

In the blink of an eye, they were all sealed away.

The Earth Grudges, separated from their original bodies, were noticeably less active than before. At this moment, they maintained a rigid attack pattern, making them quite easy to seal.

This is enough to prove that Kakuzu was still around just now, but Chiba just couldn't sense him.

It is undoubtedly Black.

After sealing the four Earth Grudges, Chiba felt a little regretful, but upon closer reflection...

I was just launching a sneak attack.

The village that truly suffered the most was Kumogakure.

Thinking about it this way, it seems there's nothing to regret.

The sixth man earns whatever he can.

Chiba picked up Hidan.

I'll bite you to death! I'll bite you to death!

Hidan tried his best to open his mouth, but unfortunately, with only one head, he could never reach Chiba's body.

"Stop struggling. Even if I gave you another chance, you still wouldn't be a match for me."

"Then give me a chance, you bastard!"

"hehe."

……

"How exactly did you gather this intelligence?! Is there a mole in our organization, deliberately sabotaging our own people?"

Kakuzu's anger and grief—

It's not that Hidan is certain to die because he's heartbroken, but rather that he has lost four masks.

How long will it take to find a suitable candidate?

"I'm sorry, I really didn't expect him to be so powerful, and he even gained the approval of the Nine-Tails' chakra."

Jue said calmly, "But you guys were too careless. How did you end up in conflict with the Hidden Cloud Village?"

"Hmph, who knows why? We were just about to cross the border when the Raikage and his elite squad arrived and started fighting with us."

Kakuzu snorted coldly.

He's still feeling down. He originally wanted to sneak in quietly, and even if he couldn't catch Chiba, there were some well-known ninjas in the Hidden Cloud Village on the black market.

result.

Before doing anything else, they started fighting the Raikage, while Old Six was observing from the shadows.

"Didn't you notice him?"

“I didn’t notice it. As Itachi said, he has the ability to completely isolate his aura and senses. I only noticed it the moment he made his move.”

Jue said calmly, "But it's definitely him."

"..."

Kakuzu was still shaken.

He originally estimated that Chiba was at most better than Itachi in taijutsu, but completely lacked ninjutsu, so his strength was probably just so-so.

however.

The image pieced together from intelligence is completely fake.

“Absolutely. I think our organization should first get our own people in line and stop spreading fake news all the time. I was deceived by fake news this time.”

Kakuzu gritted his teeth, "If I had known he had so many tricks up his sleeve, I would never have laid a hand on him!"

"..."

There is absolutely nothing to say.

Because he too was deceived by Kisame's false information.

After a long silence, he said, "Let's have a meeting. I'll inform Payne's side. As for your mask, I'll have someone prepare one for you. You can use it for now, and replace it yourself when you find a suitable one."

"Ah."

Kakuzu's immortality is based on the premise of possessing the mask; without the mask, he would only have one life.

The masks of ordinary ninjas are not very useful, but at least they can give you an extra life.

Not like now.

With only one life left, he was almost afraid to go out.

This ninja world...

It's become somewhat incomprehensible.

He was just a teenager, but his strength was more terrifying than that of these veteran ninjas.

He arrived at a safe area under Jue's protection.

After a long time.

One after another, figures appeared in the cave.

Pain was silent for a moment, then said, "Where's Hidan?"

"He was arrested. Although he didn't die, he's practically dead."

Kakuzu grinned, looking at Kisame with a strange expression in his eyes. "Kisame, your information was very useful!"

"What happened?"

Kisame isn't stupid; he can see it...

Kakuzu is in a bad mood right now, otherwise he wouldn't have started by attacking himself, and his tone was sarcastic.

"Hey, afraid of ninjutsu? I used four ninja tools at the same time and didn't cause him any damage. Is this what you call being afraid of ninjutsu?"

"..."

Kisame fell silent.

This……

It was different from the situation he encountered back then.

Could it be?

They released water then!

He couldn't help but look at Itachi.

"Tell me more about it."

Itachi knew he could no longer remain silent, or these people might start to doubt him.

but.

He really didn't know what was going on!

Kakuzu snorted coldly and recounted how he and Hidan were ambushed, and how Hidan was killed and teleported away in a single exchange.

In addition, he described in detail Chiba's strange chakra state.

After hearing this, Itachi said, "When we met him, he didn't know these ninjutsu."

"That state should be a variant of the Tailed Beast Mode."

Jue opened his mouth and said.

"You mean he's gotten stronger again during this time, and the responsibility doesn't lie with you?"

Kakuzu finds it ridiculous.

Who the hell can improve so fast?

Do you think everyone is like Hashirama Senju or Madara Uchiha?

"Ah."

Itachi gave a curt reply.
