The Uchiha's Path to the Top, Starting from Konoha

Chapter 175 Kakuzu

A spear, a katana, a giant hammer, and a greatsword—four ornate weapons that seemed more like ceremonial objects than practical tools—floated beside the platinum armor. The moment they made contact, Kakuzu immediately showed an expression of alarm.

The Obsidian Dragon King, about to be slain by Kakuzu, let out a joyful roar, then complained, "Platinum Dragon King! You came too soon..."

Upon being stared at by the platinum armor, the Obsidian Dragon King shrank its head and immediately chuckled, "You've come just in time!"

"Timely? What are you talking about, you idiot?"

Kakuzu is a mission-oriented ninja who dares to throw a shuriken at Hashirama Senju. Once he accepts a mission, he has no intention of giving up unless there is absolutely no hope.

A Kage-level powerhouse is not so easy to kill, and Kakuzu is even more difficult to kill!

Moreover, the imperial rations from Kirigakure are quite delicious.

"Tentacle Fist!"

The arm with the black lines severed, and countless tiny black lines shot out, piercing through the wounds on the Obsidian Dragon King's body, instantly causing the Obsidian Dragon King to let out a mournful cry.

"Secret Technique: Heart Stealing!"

This involves using black tentacles to forcibly extract the opponent's heart and chakra attributes, then transplanting the opponent's heart and chakra attributes into one's own body and stitching them together to become one's own heart.

Because the Obsidian Dragon King did not have chakra, but its extremely vigorous life force and massive amount of magical energy caused Kakuzu's body to suddenly swell up, and its body also showed inhuman characteristics.

Two small horns protrude from the top of its head, and the skin of the gray puppet is even darker, with a hint of obsidian luster.

"call!"

The magical energy dissipated in large quantities with each breath, but it did not change anything despite the addition of a dragon's heart. It was as if chakra and magic power were like oil that does not dissolve in water, forcing Kakuzu, who had tried many times, to give up.

(Perhaps the Blood Seed of the Konoha Military Command is the path to becoming stronger in the future.)

Through the secret technique Earth Grudge Fear, Kakuzu can seize five hearts, each possessing a different chakra nature. Therefore, he can freely use the nature transformations of the five chakra natures and unleash the maximum power of each nature.

If all five chakra natures were transformed into bloodline limits, Kakuzu believed that his strength would undergo a fundamental improvement, at least placing him in the top tier below the Kage level.

"Are you ready, ninja?"

The platinum armor issued a cold and ruthless question, while the four weapons fluttering around him were already poised to strike.

Kakuzu raised his head, looked at the platinum armor, and clicked his tongue in mockery, "He was at least your comrade. You just watched him die by my hand. You bunch of freaks are truly heartless."

With its heart taken away, the Obsidian Dragon King's massive body, several meters long, collapsed to the ground like noodles, its ferocious dragon eyes staring at the platinum armor with utter disbelief.

"Platinum Dragon King, why...?"

The Obsidian Dragon King wanted to question the Platinum Armor for failing to save him, but his rapidly depleting life force was no longer enough to sustain him. Finally, his pupils trembled, and he suddenly realized the cause of his death.

Kakuzu's black tentacles slowly withdrew from the body of the Obsidian Dragon King, whose body was riddled with holes, eliminating any possibility of the opponent using resurrection magic to revive him.

Apart from some classified information involving world-class items, Konoha has all the information about the Magic Continent publicly available. Kakuzu is very clear about the effects of the fifth-tier magic [Resurrection].

What he didn't know was that every ninja in the ninja world had an identity badge, which contained the ninja's personal information and chakra.

It also bears the marks of Uchiha Hikaru's Eight Thousand Spears and Uchiha Takeoshi's mark.

Creatures killed by ninjas have absolutely no chance of being resurrected without Uchiha Muan's consent.

The authority granted by Ascension Points is higher than that of World-Class Items.

"A companion? That was nothing but an arrogant fool. It's a good thing he's dead now."

Many of the disagreements among the council countries stemmed from the five true dragon kings. If it weren't for the true dragon pact established by the Dragon Emperor, the Platinum Dragon King would have long wanted to expel the other four true dragon kings.

The Frost Dragon King, who prefers to live in groups, is an anomaly among dragons.

Now, by using the ninja's hand to kill the Obsidian Dragon King, it will save him a lot of trouble.

"But those who dare to slay dragons will face the judgment of the dragon race!"

The platinum-plated armored figure, flying through the air, waved his hand, and a greatsword beside him slashed directly at Kakuzu.

The loud whooshing sound did not move Kakuzu. Intending to test its strength, Kakuzu directly entered the Earth Grudge Fear mode.

Eight giant black lines suddenly appeared behind him, and two of them, under Kakuzu's control, swept towards the Platinum Greatsword.

Like a hot knife cutting into butter, the two black lines that were once invincible were torn apart by the pressure of the platinum greatsword, and then continued to slash toward Kakuzu, whose face was solemn, with unstoppable momentum.

"Hey, hey, hey, there's no information about a powerhouse of this level in the intelligence!"

The six black lines, controlled by Kakuzu, surged forward, attacking from different directions, finally halting the Platinum Greatsword's offensive.

Kakuzu's heart sank as he gazed at the three weapons floating beside the platinum armor.

(Close combat is difficult, so I have to resort to ninjutsu.)

(It would be better for them to retreat, so that they wouldn't become targets for the enemy after their retreat.)

(If too many people die, my salary will be deducted.)

Kakuzu took a moment to observe the battlefield not far away.

The Obsidian Dragon King is not a lone dragon; like the Worm Dragon King, it has its own retinue of soldiers.

Kakuzu's Kirigakure combat ninja force is reaping enemy lives with unstoppable morale.

The Obsidian Dragon King's low-level Origin Magic failed to completely kill Kakuzu, leaving the exhausted Obsidian Dragon King trampled underfoot by Kakuzu.

The arrival of the Platinum Armor should have given the army a new backbone, but with the death of the Obsidian Dragon King, morale and fighting spirit completely collapsed, and the army fled like stray dogs, with people all over the mountains and fields fleeing.

Kakuzu took out a retreat signal flare from his pocket, lit it, and fired it into the sky. The highly skilled but clueless combat ninjas began to retreat rapidly and in an orderly manner.

Seeing this, the platinum armor made no comment, simply watching everything silently.

Then, the retreating combat ninjas suddenly discovered that an invisible barrier was binding them within an area.

Whether in the air or underground, no matter what means are used, evacuation is impossible.

"Don't even think about escaping. Unless you kill me, none of you will get out of here."

Upon appearing, the Platinum Dragon King manipulated his platinum armor to unleash the [Mid-Tier Origin Magic - World Severance Barrier].

A huge barrier was formed around it, completely blocking any interference from the inside and outside, and neither physical nor magical methods could break through it!
