Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 267 A Serious Punch

Uchiha Sasuke stopped his pursuit.

He quickly picked up his katana and looked at Natsume and Kakuzu warily.

The two were complete strangers.

Natsume wore a mask and looked completely ordinary.

But Kakuzu stared at him with an indifferent gaze, which made him very uncomfortable.

It was as if his heart was about to be ripped out at any moment.

Sasuke Uchiha immediately remembered his mission.

The two people in front of him were very likely the enemies that his teacher Natsume had mentioned who were going to attack Jiriku.

During the standoff, Bu Feng, whose neck was being gripped, revealed a ferocious expression.

Her hair suddenly grew long, wrapping around Natsume's neck like a scarf.

This can be described as giving someone a taste of their own medicine.

"You...you're alright?"

Looking at Natsume, whose expression remained unchanged, Bufeng couldn't help but ask.

As they spoke, they increased the force, but it still had no effect.

His body was like the hardest stone pillar; no matter how you wrapped it around, you couldn't crush it.

"Your true form is hair, isn't it?"

Natsume reached out, grabbed her hair, and asked.

"What?!"

Bu Feng's pupils contracted, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

Her true nature is the secret of her hair, known only to those who remain still and those who do not understand.

How did he find out?

Upon realizing this, Bu Feng formed a hand seal.

The Golden Binding Technique!

Her body belongs to someone else.

Therefore, even if Natsume grabs your throat, you will not die or feel suffocated.

Bu Feng's eyes widened suddenly.

An invisible wave enveloped Natsume.

This is an advanced illusion technique that can freeze a person's body.

I used this method before when I was going on a rampage.

But it still didn't work.

"Who exactly are you?!"

Bu Feng trembled slightly; she had never encountered such a helpless situation before.

All attacks were ineffective.

Are you afraid of fire?

Flames shot from Natsume's palms, and when they approached the hair, Fuka showed a panicked expression.

"don't want!"

"It seems he is indeed afraid."

Natsume smiled knowingly and said, "However, I'm interested in you. If you behave, I might spare your life."

"no problem!"

Bu Feng answered without hesitation.

Natsume released his grip.

"Sir, what do you need me to do?"

As soon as she landed back on the ground, she exhaled and revealed a charming smile, "I can do anything."

She leaned forward and threw herself into Natsume's arms.

But he immediately met eyes filled with murderous intent.

The wind startled him so much that he backed away.

It was sultry and somber.

It not only contained murderous intent, but also eye power.

This made Bu Feng feel like he had fallen into hell in just a second.

She finally realized that Natsume was far more terrifying than she had imagined.

So they dared not cause any more trouble and obediently stayed behind him.

On the other side, the battle had not yet begun.

Because everyone in the corners is chatting.

Under normal circumstances, he would not do that.

"You're Uchiha Sasuke?"

Kakuzu narrowed his eyes and asked.

Do you know me?

Uchiha Sasuke gripped his katana tightly, his tone somewhat puzzled.

Because he was certain that he had never met Kakuzu.

After all, with his peculiar appearance and attire, there's no reason he would forget.

"Itachi Uchiha's younger brother?"

Kakuzu asked again.

"Uchiha Itachi?"

Sasuke Uchiha's eyes widened immediately, and he asked, "Where is he?!"

The volume increased considerably without my realizing it.

"It seems he really is Itachi Uchiha's younger brother."

Kakuzu laughed. "That piques my interest. I wonder how strong you are?"

"Are you and Itachi Uchiha members of the same organization?"

Sasuke Uchiha remembered Natsume telling him that Itachi Uchiha had joined a mysterious organization.

Kakuzu's tone clearly indicated that he knew or was familiar with him.

"As expected of Konoha, their intelligence is truly astonishing."

Kakuzu, unfazed by the remark, replied, "We are indeed an organization."

"So, if we capture you, we'll find out where he is?"

Sasuke Uchiha's eyes flickered, filled with killing intent.

"Arrest me? How interesting."

Kakuzu was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Kid, I'm not one of those three ninjas from before."

"It's the same to me."

Uchiha Sasuke has regained his composure.

"Hmph, brat, even if Itachi Uchiha were here today, he couldn't save you!"

Kakuzu said coldly, "This is where you will die!"

Sasuke Uchiha didn't say anything more, and he raised his katana.

Lightning Release: Chidori Blade!

A dazzling light burst forth from the blade and quickly spread across its surface.

Sasuke Uchiha's body disappeared from the spot.

The man followed the long sword to Kakuzu's front.

soon.

Kakuzu had seen this move before.

They already had some understanding of Sasuke Uchiha's strength.

Especially those Mangekyou Sharingan eyes.

However, he was still too young.

Besides the Earth Grudge Fear, what Kakuzu is most proud of is his nearly 100 years of combat experience.

He fought against Hashirama Senju.

If it were Itachi Uchiha, he would find it troublesome.

Uchiha Sasuke is still far from good enough.

But that doesn't mean he's not valuable.

The last surviving member of the Uchiha clan, a disciple of the Hokage, and possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan.

On the black market, its price far exceeds the thirty million of the land.

Kakuzu's heart burned with passion.

Earth escape·Earth spear!

His arms turned black instantly, and his skin hardened.

With extremely precise speed, he parried the oncoming samurai sword.

Sasuke Uchiha looked surprised.

Clearly, they hadn't expected to be blocked in this way.

But he reacted quickly.

Lightning crackled and spread along Kakuzu's arms toward his body.

next moment.

A dark shadow descended from above, heading straight for Uchiha Sasuke's heart.

Its speed was even faster than lightning.

Sasuke Uchiha's expression hardened, and he abandoned his sword and retreated without hesitation.

After dodging Kakuzu's flying kick, he opened his mouth and spat out a huge fire dragon.

A scorching heat swirls around.

Kakuzu threw away his katana.

Even after losing Sasuke Uchiha's support, the lightning bolt failed to break through his defenses.

Facing the fire dragon, Kakuzu vanished in a flash.

A black fist slammed into Sasuke Uchiha's head.

As an old monster who has lived for nearly a hundred years, he has almost no weaknesses.

Both his physical and ninjutsu skills are top-notch.

Uchiha Sasuke was not afraid.

His Mangekyou Sharingan gave him a tremendous advantage.

And most importantly, Kakuzu's speed is not as fast as the Third Raikage's.

In other words, all actions are within the range of his eyes.

The two were locked in a fierce battle.

Natsume nodded.

Sasuke Uchiha's taijutsu has indeed improved.

Although he relied on the Mangekyou Sharingan, he appeared to have matured considerably compared to before.

Even so, they were still at a disadvantage against Kakuzu.

In other words, without the Mangekyou Sharingan, he might be easily defeated.

But considering Sasuke Uchiha's age, he was less than twelve years old, which is understandable.

He is now much better than he was in the original work.

The two were evenly matched in a short period of time.

Natsume looked towards the land not far away.

He remembered this person who possessed what was called the talent of an immortal.

It's somewhat similar to magic.

In addition, the appearance of Fudo, Fuka, and Fugen suggests that Kazuma's son, Sora, is probably here, just like in the original work.

Several years ago, the twelve guardian ninjas of the Land of Fire split into two factions due to differences in their ideals.

Tsunade temporarily takes on the mission and, together with Sarutobi Asuma, defeats Kazuma.

Natsume thought his son would disappear, but he was still alive.

"Where is the empty space?"

"In the room in the rear sanctuary."

Upon hearing this, Bu Feng quickly replied.

The shock in my heart intensified.

I never expected that he even knew about the existence of emptiness.

Natsume walked toward the Temple of Fire.

"Please wait, benefactor."

Di Lu immediately stepped in front of him and asked, "What's the matter?"

He had received a message from Konoha Village, and like Sasuke Uchiha, he could guess the two men's intentions.

"Sora is Kazuma's son."

Natsume looked at the land before him and asked, "Why did you save him?"

"Kong is just a child."

Di Lu sighed and said.

Actually, he's starting to regret it a little now.

There's no problem with rescuing the air force.

But what I didn't expect was the crazy actions of Bu Dong, Bu Feng, and Bu Yuan.

They actually wanted to turn Sora into the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

It was too late for Di Lu to stop it.

In order to save Sora, he helped to seal it.

But now that I think about it, he has unknowingly made enemies of Konoha Village.

"Give me the space."

Natsume politely replied, "You can't control it."

"no."

Di Lu refused without hesitation.

"I didn't want to fight in the first place."

Natsume shook his head helplessly.

"Benefactor, you underestimate me!"

Seeing his dismissive attitude, Di Lu's expression hardened.

Come and welcome Thousand Hands Kill!

Golden chakra erupted forth.

Centered on him, it drifted towards the sky.

In the blink of an eye, a golden statue of the Thousand-Hand Guanyin appeared.

Natsume raised an eyebrow.

Aside from the color, it does resemble his Wood Release technique quite a bit.

It's just too small.

It looks to be about ten meters tall.

The Thousand-Armed Guanyin statue, formed from thousands of hands, is comparable to the Ten-Tailed Fox.

The ten tails exceeded a kilometer in length.

The gap between the two is extremely alarming.

However, a thousand-armed Kannon statue of this size would be quite terrifying to ordinary ninjas.

Sasuke Uchiha and Kakuzu, who were engaged in battle, separated quite tacitly.

The two of them turned to look at the Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue, both of them somewhat surprised.

Uchiha Sasuke confirmed that the so-called Sage Clan talent was indeed somewhat related to Sage Techniques.

This made him even more eager to learn.

Kakuzu was surprised by his strength.

It appears quite assertive.

No wonder there was a reward of thirty million taels of silver.

He couldn't help but look at Di Lu with newfound respect.

But the most urgent task is to deal with Uchiha Sasuke.

Compared to Di Lu, this little kid who was not even twelve years old shocked him even more.

He found it hard to imagine what level his strength would reach in another ten or twenty years.

With a whoosh.

Kakuzu launched another attack.

Uchiha Sasuke was enveloped in lightning, and every move he made caused the air to tremble.

But Kakuzu always responded calmly and collectedly, occasionally even causing Kakuzu to panic.

In short, we are in an advantageous position.

"Benefactor, if you leave now, I can pretend nothing happened."

With his hands clasped together and the Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue behind him, Di Lu spoke with great confidence.

The usually exceptionally respectful Bu Feng now harbored different thoughts.

She understands the strength of the Earth Continent, and it's truly impressive.

Perhaps the two of them working together could win over Natsume.

That way, she could escape.

Natsume chuckled softly.

He clapped his hands together and entered a godlike state.

See you on a moonlit night!

Eye Technique Activated.

Self-acceleration.

Strange power!

Natsume suddenly appeared behind Jiraiya and threw a punch.

Almost without any pause, the golden Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue shattered instantly.

The fist landed on the ground's back.

An extremely strong force sent him flying.

With a bang.

His body smashed into the ground, creating a crater.

The pain spread throughout my body.

Di Lu opened his mouth and spat out blood.

He stared at Natsume in a daze.

too fast!

He was defeated before he even realized what was happening.

How is this possible?!

Natsume's strength made him feel as if he were dreaming.

Bu Feng's eyes widened in disbelief.

She was just thinking of helping Riku by betraying Natsume.

But the battle was over in an instant.

She couldn't help but tremble.

What kind of monster is this?

"lead the way."

Natsume glanced at Jiraiya.

He won't be able to get up anytime soon.

If he hadn't held back, Di Lu would have been killed on the spot.

"OK."

Upon hearing this, Bu Feng immediately stepped forward.

She has now completely given up on him.

Without certainty, they dared not defy Natsume.

I'll do anything you ask me to do.

"Your Reaper Death Kiss involves kissing the other person and absorbing their chakra, right?"

Natsume looked at her back and asked a question.

"Yes...yes."

When his secret technique was suddenly exposed, Bu Feng was startled.

Fortunately, she was already used to Natsume's mystery and answered quickly.

Natsume seemed lost in thought.

Besides the ghoul kissing, there is also the ghoul reincarnation.

It involves seamlessly switching between multiple bodies.

In the original work, Fuufu's ability to freely use the five elemental escape techniques is related to the Reanimation Jutsu.

Thinking about it now, isn't this just like Kakuzu's Jigan-gura?

It wasn't wind; it was the main body's hair plus five corpses.

Kakuzu has five hearts.

Both appear to be immortal beings.

Natsume wondered if finding five powerful corpses for Fuka would make her even stronger.

At the same time, is it possible to replicate her state?

If possible, Natsume thinks it would be great to use her as a bodyguard.

After all, no one is going to guard against their hair.

While pondering, Bu Feng stopped walking.

She opened the door and said, "This is Kong. He went berserk last night and I controlled him with illusion magic. He hasn't woken up yet."

The Nine-Tails' chakra was collected by Kazuma and others.

That sounds pretty far-fetched.

But theoretically it is indeed possible.

By collecting the scattered Nine-Tails chakra and sealing it into the body, a small Jinchūriki can be created.

How so?

It's useless.

Because this mass of Nine-Tails chakra has no consciousness.

It could go berserk at any moment.

Without a powerful sealing technique, it would all be in vain.

However, it's not bad for Natsume.

Ten years of chakra accumulation, and he got off easy.

Natsume stepped forward, extended his hand, and revealed a black bracelet.

That is, the SkyNet login client.

Giving this chakra to Kaguya Otsutsuki would be a good idea.

Under Bu Feng's pained gaze, all of Kong's chakra was absorbed.

And he became an ordinary little boy.

After finishing, Natsume returned to the temple.

Di Lu was already unconscious.

The battle between Uchiha Sasuke and Kakuzu had reached its most intense moment.

Because the Earthly Grudge has already been used.

Kakuzu removed the Akatsuki's coat, revealing his body covered in stitches.

Four masked hearts, connected by black threads, surrounded him.

Sasuke Uchiha was clearly taken aback when he saw this.
