Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 268 Sasuke's Susanoo

Uchiha Sasuke had never seen the Earth Grudge Fear before.

But Kakuzu's previous performance had already won him over.

Even his enemies had to be praised.

Under normal circumstances, a member of the Uchiha clan who has awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan can rival a Jonin.

Even after he acquired the Mangekyou Sharingan, he was actually at a disadvantage against Kakuzu.

This is enough to demonstrate his strength.

Now that he has come up with a new model, Sasuke Uchiha will naturally no longer be as arrogant as before.

Kakuzu looked at him without saying a word.

But the aura he exuded already made his stance clear.

Magical Shackles Technique!

Sasuke Uchiha met his gaze, and his Mangekyou Sharingan trembled slightly.

The built-in illusion spreads outwards.

"it's useless."

Kakuzu ignored him completely, scoffed, and said, "You don't understand my existence at all."

He has five hearts.

In other words, it possesses five different types of chakra.

Illusions are naturally ineffective.

Uchiha Sasuke twitched the corner of his mouth upon hearing this.

The same approach was used when dealing with the Third Raikage.

He realized the limitations of illusion.

Lightning Release: False Darkness!

Kakuzu stopped talking nonsense.

Now that he had revealed the Earthly Grudge, he planned to end the battle quickly.

After all, his other teammate has already taken care of things and is now watching him.

He doesn't want to mess things up here.

Under his control, the Lightning Release Mask opened its mouth, unleashing a dazzling burst of lightning.

It condensed into a lightning spear in the air.

Uchiha Sasuke raised an eyebrow.

Kakuzu had been using Earth Release techniques until now.

Now it has turned into lightning.

He looked at the other three masks, a bad feeling creeping over him.

With a thought, Sasuke Uchiha vanished from his spot, leaving behind a trail of lightning.

Although Kakuzu's lightning spear was fast, it still couldn't escape the range of his Mangekyou Sharingan.

He appeared beneath the lightning spear, aimed the lightning blade at the center, and sliced ​​it in half.

Then, his right hand crackled with lightning as he launched an attack directly at Kakuzu.

Compound Ninja Technique·Fire Wind and Waves!

Kakuzu retreated.

The Wind Release mask and the Fire Release mask rose up simultaneously.

A strong sense of danger washed over me.

Uchiha Sasuke stopped in his tracks.

The next moment, a sea of ​​fire descended.

The wind whipped up the flames, causing them to explode with a deafening roar, creating a fierce gust of wind.

Uchiha Sasuke had no way to avoid it.

All he could see were flames, which had completely surrounded him.

He took a deep breath.

At this point, without using eye techniques, there is no chance of victory.

Although he longed to hone his physical skills further, Kakuzu wouldn't give him the chance.

Kenbu God!

Sasuke Uchiha's left eye twitched.

Kakuzu suddenly paused.

The surrounding air became distorted and deformed.

His extensive experience told him something was wrong.

"What is this?!"

Kakuzu was about to use the Body Flicker Technique when he discovered that the space had been sealed off.

He could not escape.

His previously confident expression turned to one of surprise.

A moment of distraction.

The entire space was like a shattered mirror, and the invisible ripples transformed into tangible swords.

With Kakuzu as the center, we will conduct comprehensive coverage.

A fatal moment.

Kakuzu's experience saved him.

Five hearts blinked in unison.

A massive amount of chakra erupted.

Earth escape·Earth spear!

Kakuzu's body instantly turned black and hardened, and he swelled up compared to before, transforming into a muscular hunk.

The remaining four masks were arranged in his four directions, taking the forms of thunder, fire, wind, and water.

In an instant, the entire space was filled with turbulent currents.

Natsume clasped his hands together.

A wall formed by the flow of water blocked their way.

He didn't care, but the unconscious Di Lu couldn't.

Sasuke Uchiha took a breath.

At his current age, the Mangekyou Sharingan's eye techniques are actually quite a burden for him.

However, it must be said that Kenbutsu-gami is indeed a good eye technique.

Kakuzu's speed is still within the normal range.

Once the space was sealed off, he had no choice but to take the hit head-on.

To this, Natsume can only say that no matter how much experience you have, it's still useless against a cheater.

However, Kakuzu did not die.

The chakra turbulence subsided.

Sasuke Uchiha's pupils contracted slightly as he looked at Kakuzu, who was wrapped in black threads.

It was Di Yuanyu who saved him.

The black threads can be used for attack, but they can also save lives.

It can sew up the body.

Kakuzu used it to sew Hidan's body together.

But in reality, it can also suture itself.

Under the combined attack of five ninjutsu, Sasuke Uchiha's eye technique was greatly reduced in power, becoming acceptable by the time it reached Kakuzu.

At least while strangling, he can use Earthly Grudge to repair.

The process was extremely painful.

After all, it's a process of destruction and restoration at the same time.

Even though Kakuzu is a man of strong will, he still couldn't help himself.

At that moment, he looked at Uchiha Sasuke with a ferocious expression.

"I'm going to kill you!"

"You've already lost three masks."

Sasuke Uchiha, unfazed, asked, "How will you kill me now?"

Kakuzu's expression froze upon hearing this.

Jianbudu God.

Having experienced it once, he already had a way to deal with it.

That means moving away quickly as soon as the engine starts.

However, he lost his Lightning Release and Wind Release hearts.

The speed is no longer sufficient.

"Takashi".

The corners of the door shook people decisively.

He knew about Natsume's strength.

During the previous battle for the Three-Tails, the two fought, and he was beaten so badly that he had no chance to fight back.

Now that the two are teammates, he naturally won't hold back.

Natsume smiled upon hearing this.

He walked between the two men.

Sasuke Uchiha was able to defeat Kakuzu.

The main reason is his pupil technique.

Now that he has basically revealed his full strength, it's hard to say who will win if he encounters Kakuzu at his peak again.

But that's all for the future.

Do you know about Susanoo?

Natsume said calmly, "I've seen your brother Itachi Uchiha's Susanoo. If this is all you've got, you're probably doomed today."

Uchiha Sasuke's expression hardened.

Mikoto Uchiha had told him about Susanoo.

After awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan, he tried to master it, but so far he has no clue how.

"Hmph, I won't die here."

As soon as Sasuke Uchiha finished speaking, he used his eye technique again without hesitation.

Kenbu God!

Kakuzu is eyeing us covetously.

Natsume's strength is unknown.

In this situation, using pupil techniques to make a definitive judgment is undoubtedly the best option.

"Get out of its range!"

Kakuzu noticed the familiar spatial distortion and quickly offered a warning.

But Natsume remained standing in the same spot.

The surrounding space transformed into swords and blades, which fell in unison.

At the moment of impact, a giant tree emerged from Natsume's right arm and enveloped him.

The spatial strangulation attack descended, pulverizing the outermost leaves and branches, but creating a stalemate upon impact with the tree trunk.

"Wood Release?!"

Sasuke Uchiha's expression changed, and he was horrified.

Wood Release is the signature bloodline limit of his teacher, Natsume.

I never expected it to be reproduced in the hands of a stranger.

But he never doubted the identity of this ninja named Takashi.

Because in his view, it was impossible for it to be related to the Hokage.

At this moment, he thought that this mysterious organization was far too powerful.

He must leave alive and go back to report the news.

That's right, he no longer had any intention of capturing Kakuzu alive.

When he saw that Natsume had survived the attack on Kenbutsu-no-Kami unscathed, he knew there was a serious problem.

He got into trouble.

But Sasuke Uchiha had no intention of surrendering.

He slammed his hand on the ground.

Spiritual communication!

Suddenly, an enormous purple venomous snake appeared.

Ten Thousand Snakes.

Natsume narrowed his eyes, not giving it any chance to move.

Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!

A seed falls and grows rapidly.

As soon as Manda saw Natsume, he was immediately entangled by the wooden dragon and unable to move.

Its enormous snake eyes revealed a look of horror.

Although the White Snake Sage had warned it to do its best to protect the ninjas of Konoha, it was in a precarious situation even in itself.

Feeling increasingly restrained, Manda ran away without hesitation.

Uchiha Sasuke was completely dumbfounded.

He had thought that Wanshe could buy him some time.

Even if it's the worst, it should at least last a few seconds.

But it only lasted a second.

He had no chance to run away.

Sasuke Uchiha's face darkened; this was really bad.

After losing its target, the wooden dragon swirled in the air and headed straight for him.

Compared to such a massive body, Uchiha Sasuke looked like an ant.

He formed a hand seal and spat out three fire dragons.

But when it struck the wooden dragon, it only produced small sparks.

Lightning crackled around Sasuke Uchiha as he swiftly dodged without hesitation.

The Mangekyou Sharingan came in handy once again.

But this can't go on forever.

The wooden dragon seemed to have inexhaustible energy, constantly chasing after him.

Sasuke Uchiha leaped again, dodging an attack, and then looked at Natsume.

Kenbu God!

Woe to the sun god!

Use both eye techniques simultaneously.

The space around Natsume was immediately sealed off.

Just as he was thinking of using the same trick again, he suddenly felt that there was a problem with his chakra circulation.

It is the negative effect brought about by the calamity god.

interesting.

His body was pulverized in the spatial crushing.

"It worked?"

Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but mutter to himself.

The next moment, vine-like wooden tendrils suddenly emerged from the ground and wrapped around his body.

"How is that possible?!"

Uchiha Sasuke looked at Natsume in disbelief.

Neither of his two eye techniques could kill him.

Kakuzu, who was not far away, was also startled.

What he didn't expect was that Sasuke Uchiha had a trick up his sleeve.

If the calamity god had been added to the mix, he might have been in an even worse situation.

Even so, Natsume was completely unharmed.

Kakuzu felt even more fear towards him.

"Is that all you've got?"

Natsume raised his hand and asked, "How many more times can you use your eye technique now?"

The wood tightened again.

Sasuke Uchiha showed a pained expression.

He gritted his teeth, and his Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly spun.

Magical Shackles Technique!

The illusion was cast, but Natsume remained completely still.

Kenbu God!

Uchiha Sasuke's face twisted as if space itself were contorted.

Blood and tears welled up in his left eye.

This is a sign of excessive consumption of pupil power.

If this continues, I'll definitely die!

As Sasuke Uchiha watched Natsume effortlessly dodge his eye technique once again, a sense of despair crept into his heart.

"As expected, he can't compare to Uchiha Itachi."

Natsume chuckled and said, "With your meager skills, you think you can get revenge? You'll have to wait until your next life."

"Aaaaaah!"

Uchiha Sasuke's eyes were bloodshot.

His aura fluctuated.

"You don't need to worry."

Seeing this, Natsume continued with an extremely high dose, "After you die, I will go to Konoha and kill all the remaining members of the Uchiha clan so they can join you."

"You dare?!"

Uchiha Sasuke looked like a demon.

Natsume's words would undoubtedly be jumping into his minefield.

His pupils radiated power like a raging storm.

In an instant, a purple skeletal half-body shot into the sky, centered on Uchiha Sasuke.

Susanoo!

However, this is only the first form, and it is still a long way from the complete form.

Even so, for Uchiha Sasuke's age, this is undoubtedly an incredible feat.

Natsume raised an eyebrow.

In his perception, Satoru, who was sealed inside Uchiha Sasuke, had completely disappeared.

This is clearly the price to pay for forcibly activating it.

But it's worth it.

"What is it?"

Kakuzu was completely dumbfounded.

Uchiha Sasuke exceeded his expectations time and time again.

"Go to hell!"

Uchiha Sasuke has broken free from the wood's entanglement.

He raised his hand.

The massive fist of the half-skull on his back came crashing down.

Natsume retreated and appeared near Kakuzu.

"The ninjas from Konoha have arrived."

"You want to leave?"

Kakuzu understood his meaning and said with displeasure, "With your strength, do you need to fear Konoha?"

"I'm not afraid, but what about you?"

Natsume casually remarked, "If you get captured by them, it will disrupt the organization's plans."

"Sasuke!"

Just as the two were talking, a deep voice rang out.

Might Guy makes his entrance.

He glanced at Uchiha Sasuke and his eyes widened in surprise.

Is this outrageous sense of oppression really something an eleven-year-old genin could create?

Besides Might Guy, there are also Kakashi Hatake and Gaara.

Kakuzu immediately regained his senses.

He had some understanding of the three of them, especially Gaara.

He is a Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast.

In his current state, he can't win.

Natsume didn't answer Kakuzu, grabbed Fufu, and disappeared.

As for the land, leave that to them.

In any case, his only valuable asset is his talent as a member of the immortal race.

After leaving the Temple of Fire, the two met again.

"Mission failed, it's no big deal."

Natsume relaxed and smiled, "I can give you thirty million taels."

Kakuzu twitched the corner of his mouth.

Today's events can be considered as him repaying Natsume's kindness.

He naturally didn't want the money.

His immediate priority is to replace the three lost hearts.

"I will explain the mission to the organization."

Kakuzu let out a breath and said, "Farewell."

He simply ran away.

[Because of your actions, the fates of Uchiha Sasuke, Kakuzu, Chirai, Ku, and Fuuka have changed. You have gained a total of 470 Fate Points.]

The notification sound of the Holy Ring of Fate rang out.

Natsume nodded in satisfaction.

Konoha Village Experimental Building.

"What is it?"

Kabuto sensed a unique spatial fluctuation and asked without looking up.

"I brought you something interesting."

Natsume pointed to Fuka behind him.

What's so special about her?

Yakushi Kabuto scrutinized Fuka, his eyes like knives, as if he wanted to slice her apart layer by layer.

"Her true form is her hair."

Natsume explained.

The pharmacist's eyes lit up.

interesting.

"Help me research her."

Natsume didn't stay long; after all, the wind was just an unexpected bonus.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is activated.

He appeared in the Hokage's office.

"Natsume, you're back?"

Kurenai seemed to have been waiting for him, and upon seeing him, immediately handed him a document.

It was Uchiha Sasuke who sent back the information through his summoning beast.

Since Natsume was not in Konoha, Kurenai Yuhi sent Might Guy and Kakashi Hatake to the Fire Temple to provide support.
