Chapter 252 Kakuzu's Struggle

The sneak attack failed, and just dragging it out like this isn't going to work either.

His hiding place wasn't particularly well concealed, and he would be found by Minato and the others sooner or later, so he might as well just come out openly.

"You know what? Whenever I fight against Konoha ninjas, I always think of the scene when I fought against your First Hokage."

Kakuzu intended to use this statement to make Minato and the others wary.

In battles between ninjas, psychological warfare is also very important.

The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, was the God of Shinobi.

Anyone who can fight the God of Ninjas and survive must be quite strong.

Once the Konoha ninjas on the other side have this understanding, Kakuzu might be able to gain some advantage in the upcoming battle.

However, when he finished speaking, he found that the four people on the other side were looking at him strangely.

There was mockery, disdain, ridicule, and contempt.

The only thing missing was an expression of fear or solemnity.

"Mr. Kakuzu, you don't need to mention your battle with the First Hokage anymore. We already know about your feat of throwing a shuriken from 800 meters away."

"Watergate, you're wrong. What do you mean 800 meters? Isn't it 800 li?"

"Kushina, 800 meters is a more reasonable distance; 800 li is a bit exaggerated."

"Yeah?"

Kushina tilted her head, looking at Kakuzu with a teasing expression, and said, "Why don't you tell us, Kakuzu, is it 800 meters or 800 li?"

"asshole."

At this moment, Kakuzu recalled the sarcastic remark Tsunade had made to him during their fight.

Kakuzu immediately flew into a rage.

Surviving a battle with Hashirama Senju was the thing he was most proud of in his life.

Even though he was fighting a Wood Release clone of Hashirama Senju, it was still an honor, wasn't it?

Now he hears the people of Konoha slandering him like this.

How could Kakuzu tolerate this?

"You Konoha ninjas are so rude."

"Go to hell, all of you."

Kakuzu used his full strength right from the start.

Black lines kept surging out behind him, and a masked monster appeared on his left and right shoulders.

This appearance is exactly the Earthly Grievance Yu pattern.

"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet"

Fire Release: Head Engraving

"Wind Release: Pressure Damage"

In Earth Grudge Fear mode, Kakuzu can use multiple ninjutsu to attack simultaneously.

The difference is that there are only a few masked monsters fused to him.

"Get out of here!"

Faced with three powerful ninjutsu attacks, Kakashi and Asuma didn't even think about defending themselves.

The Konoha ninjas knew better than anyone the power of combined ninjutsu.

Especially Asuma, since the Third Hokage, who was proficient in all five elemental ninjutsu, was his father.

Therefore, Asuma knew that using defensive ninjutsu with a single attribute would absolutely not be able to stop Kakuzu's three-elemental ninjutsu attacks.

"Tch~ That's fast."

The combined ninjutsu is indeed powerful, but if it can't hit anyone, its power is completely useless.

The instant Kakuzu launched his attack, Minato pulled Kushina aside and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to dodge it.

Kakashi and Asuma also nimbly dodged.

"Whoosh~"

Seeing that the first round of attacks had not yielded any results, Kakuzu made a decisive move and began to split the masked monsters on his body.

To be on the safe side, he only split off the three masked monsters: water, wind, and thunder.

It retains both fire and earth.

Having two hearts is Kakuzu's bottom line.

Lightning Release: False Darkness

"Water Release: Water Curtain"

"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave"

The three masked monsters, having just been separated, launched attacks on their respective opponents without any hesitation.

With such dispersed attacks, Kakashi and Asuma had no need to dodge and both used defensive ninjutsu to block them.

As for the water gate, it's even simpler.

Using the Flying Thunder God Technique, he placed Kushina on a safe tree, and then with another teleport, appeared behind Kakuzu's main body.

With his right hand slightly open, the Rasengan instantly took shape.

Without hesitation, Minato attacked Kakuzu's heart.

"Snap!"

At the crucial moment, the black lines behind Kakuzu came in very handy.

With these black lines blocking its way, the horn deviated slightly to the right just as the Rasengan was about to strike its heart.

Although it was still hit by the Rasengan, fortunately its heart was not damaged.

"Damn, this is really tricky."

The Earth Grudge granted Kakuzu powerful regenerative abilities.

Kakuzu could recover from having half his body shattered by Tsunade, so he didn't even consider the injury from a mere Rasengan a threat.

He simply stared intently at Minato, using the black lines of the Earth Grudge to attack, harass, and defend, while pondering how to break the deadlock.

"I guess you could say it's true what they say, the Yellow Flash?"

"I was already putting most of my energy into keeping an eye on him, but he still managed to sneak up on me and almost destroyed my heart."

"I might die here today."

The more Kakuzu thought about it, the more pessimistic he became about the current situation.

A head-on confrontation?

With Kakashi and Asuma distracting him, he couldn't focus all his energy on Minato. If he made a mistake, Minato would seize the opportunity to strike.

Just like before.

run away?

With Flying Thunder God Kunai everywhere within a radius of dozens of meters, there's no way he could escape.

They couldn't fight back, and they couldn't run away.

This situation is truly terrible for Kakuzu.

"I hope Itachi can pull through and finish the battle quickly so he can come and rescue me."

Thinking of this, Kakuzu looked towards the place not far away where Itachi, Fugaku, and Sasuke were fighting.

It would have been better if he hadn't looked; once he did, Kakuzu was so angry he almost had a stroke.

"Damn it, Itachi, I knew you couldn't be trusted."

No wonder Kakuzu cursed at Itachi.

While he was engaged in a fierce battle with Minato and the others, Itachi remained as quiet as still water.

If the three were engaged in a contest of illusion magic, that would be one thing.

It was clear from the way the three of them were opening and closing their lips that they were simply chatting and not engaging in a magic contest.

"Damn it, you really have to rely on yourself."

On Itachi's side, Kakuzu can't get close.

If we want to survive, the only option now is to forcefully create a breakthrough.

Kushina was too far away for him to reach.

Minato's Flying Thunder God technique is incredibly agile and impossible to catch.

Kakashi opened his Sharingan and moved with such flair that he was impossible to hit.

Kakuzu had no choice but to set his sights on the seemingly ordinary Asuma.

Asma: Damn it, do you think I'm easy to bully?

Kakuzu: Yes, of the four people here, you're the easiest to bully.

Asma: convex--convex

"Combined Ninja Art: Storm Dance"

In order to survive, Kakuzu begins to control the masked monster to attack Asuma.

They completely ignored Kakashi and Minato.

As long as we can break through Asuma's defenses, even if we lose one, two, three, or four hearts, it will be worth it.
