Chapter 106 Kakuzu's Battle

Before his body was bound, Kakuzu took the brunt of the explosive tags, buried one hand in the ground, and then silently observed the enemy.

This demonstrates the remarkable combat intelligence of an elderly person in their eighties.

When Shikamaru, driven by revenge, used Hidan's shadow to attack Kakuzu, the hand that had been buried in the ground came in handy, tearing off the chakra blade and helping the real Kakuzu escape.

[While Shikamaru's offensive was not yet over, Kakuzu, under Hidan's relentless pressure, retreated to the base of a large tree and was hit by a spinning attack from a height, but was unharmed by the hardened earth spear.]

At this moment, Kakuzu was distracted by Hidan's trash talk. Kakashi, who had been hiding, noticed that Kakuzu was using Earth Release seals, so he used Lightning Release to counter the Earth Spear, then entered Kakuzu and pierced his heart.

"Ha, it really is Kakashi leading the team."

Asuma and Kurenai were just discussing which Jonin was leading Shikamaru's team on the screen when Asuma turned around and saw Kakashi using Lightning Blade to attack Kakuzu on the screen.

"Now that you're leading the team, I feel relieved."

"Don't relax yet. The person on the screen doesn't know that each corner has five hearts. They might get tricked later."

Compared to Asuma's positive attitude, Kakashi's eyes showed a hint of worry.

Just as he said, Kakuzu has five hearts.

He on the screen was unaware of this. If he relaxed and thought everything was fine just because he had successfully destroyed Kakuzu's heart, he would most likely suffer a loss.

Just as Kakashi had feared, the screen immediately displayed the scene of him being tricked by Kakuzu.

After defeating Kakuzu, Kakashi used Lightning Blade again, charging towards Hidan with unstoppable force.

Just then, Kakuzu suddenly appeared and kicked Kakashi away.

Kakuzu's actions shocked everyone, and the Konoha members then realized that besides Hidan, there was another immortal being in their group.

Then Kakuzu took off his robe, foreshadowing his sudden death later on.

"We were definitely tricked."

Kakashi muttered to himself, relieved that Kakuzu had attacked him with taijutsu, not some highly lethal ninjutsu.

Of course, if Kakuzu really used ninjutsu, his reflection on the screen might not be unable to react.

He had at least activated the Three Tomoe technique. Ninjutsu requires hand seals to be released, so he felt he should be able to react within that tiny bit of time.

"This raid has failed; the real battle is about to begin."

The Third Hokage and the Fifth Hokage, Jiraiya, in the front row were also analyzing the situation on the light screen.

Shikamaru's team's objective was clear: to take advantage of the moment when Hidan and Kakuzu were bound by shadows to kill Kakuzu.

Even if Kakuzu breaks the Shadow Imitation Technique, Kakashi will be there to cover for him.

Kakashi lived up to expectations and shattered Kakuzu's heart. With the situation looking very promising, all they had to do was deal with Hidan.

Unexpectedly, Kakuzu was also immortal; even with his heart shattered, he was completely unharmed.

He even kicked Kakashi away, causing him some injuries.

Despite using so many methods, the final gains were pitifully small.

It can be said that this surprise attack has completely failed.

"Yes, Shikamaru doesn't have much chakra left, so he probably can't restrain Hidan anymore."

"Shikamaru is very intelligent, but he's too lazy. Asuma will probably urge him to train after tonight."

After removing his robe, Kakuzu didn't want to waste any more time. He separated his three hearts—wind, fire, and lightning—to fight the enemy, leaving only his main body.

[Just then, Shikamaru's Shadow Imitation Technique reached its limit and could no longer restrain Hidan.]

Seeing Hidan escape, Kakuzu turned his attention to Konoha's strongest fighter, Kakashi Hatake.

[Hidan, with his immortal body, uses taijutsu to lure the enemy, allowing Kakuzu to use his Wind Heart technique to crush them both.]

[After a breath's time, use Lightning Heart and False Darkness to attack Shikamaru and Choji again.]

The battle on the screen was quite exciting. Just as everyone was watching the battle intently, the Fifth Hokage Jiraiya turned around and suddenly spoke to the Third Hokage.

"Old man, doesn't Kakuzu's attack style resemble yours? You are both proficient in the Five Elements Ninjutsu and also like to use the Five Elements Ninjutsu to attack your enemies."

Upon hearing this, the Third Hokage immediately asked, "What are you trying to say?"

"It's nothing, I just really want to see what kind of sparks will fly when you and Kakuzu fight."

"You traitor, don't you know how old I am?" The Third Hokage slammed his fist into Jiraiya's head. "At my age, you still want me to fight Kakuzu? Do you want me to die so you can inherit my crystal ball?"

"Uh, don't be angry, I was just saying."

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

The Fifth Hokage, Jiraiya, rubbed his head, which had been hurt by the Third Hokage, with a slightly helpless expression.

In Tobirama's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi watched Kakuzu's attack, stroked his chin, and said, "This guy's attack methods are similar to mine."

"It is indeed very similar, but Kakuzu's five elemental ninjutsu come from his five hearts, while you rely on your own innate chakra nature. Once Kakuzu's heart is destroyed, he will not be able to use the corresponding elemental ninjutsu until a suitable heart is found."

"That's true. Once we know about the Earth Grudge Fear, Kakuzu won't be so scary anymore. Just like Kakashi on the screen, if he knew the information first and launched a sneak attack, Kakuzu would lose at least two hearts."

"Losing two of the Five Elements Escape Techniques is a significant weakening for Kakuzu."

"Teacher, I have an idea."

Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's serious expression, Tobirama asked, "You want to fight him?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and replied, "Is that alright?"

"If the situation allows, I'll let you give it a try."

"Thank you, teacher."

At the critical moment, Captain Kakashi stepped in to take on the responsibilities of the late Asuma.

[Ultimate Instantaneous Movement used Lightning Release to barely neutralize the false darkness, resulting in a stalemate.]

This demonstrates Kakuzu's exceptional skill in escape techniques.

[The official guidebook states that Kakuzu's ninjutsu stat is a maximum of ten points because it's a maximum of ten, not because Kakuzu only has ten points. In reality, it's likely that it's exceeded.]

Then, Fireheart unleashed its full power, unleashing a sea of ​​fire that shattered Old Ka's forces.

[Kakuzu's true form wasn't idle either; he brutally beat Choji, whose fist had already multiplied, with his bare hands, and then locked Ino and Choji's throats.]

[The Wind, Fire, and Lightning Heart Technique continuously maneuvered around Hidan's hammer, Kakashi's, and his own side of the battlefield.]

Kakuzu, through his own efforts, truly achieved the level of a human-shaped self-propelled artillery turret.

The last person to do this was the Third Hokage of Konoha, known as "Little Kakuzu": Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Third Hokage: What the hell? Am I Kakuzu?
