In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

Tenmuro stood before Kakuzu, holding his Nichirin Blade, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"You don't really think you've lived this long because of your own strength, do you?"

Since you didn't dare to assassinate the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and chose to run away back then...

So now, you should choose to continue to hide and survive.

Because of me,

They're not someone you can mess with!

Kakuzu paused for a few seconds,

His eyes instantly blazed with even greater fury.

And hidden deep within his pupils, a trace of...fear that no one had ever noticed!

"You...you know so much!"

Kakuzu's voice trembled slightly.

His clenched fists, with knuckles white, revealed the immense emotional turmoil he was experiencing.

Those long-forgotten memories,

Those were things he had kept hidden for many years.

The secret that should have been known to no one but him until now...

At this moment, a young man so easily revealed his deepest wounds with a single sentence, exposing the deepest scars hidden in his heart.

That's right, in his once-proud assassination attempt on Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage of Konoha,

Of those who attempted the assassination, he was the only one who survived.

Not because he was the strongest,

It was because, during that operation, he was positioned furthest from the battlefield.

After throwing a kunai at Hashirama Senju

He saw his companions being killed one by one by Hashirama Senju after they attacked him.

He was afraid!

He was scared!

Therefore, he chose to abandon the assassination mission immediately.

He turned and fled the battlefield!

He's a coward who abandoned his mission and his former comrades because he was afraid of death!

This is something that needs to be spread.

This is enough to make him a disgrace to the ninja world!

The murderous aura emanating from Kakuzu instantly intensified several times, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light as he glared menacingly at Tenyu.

"Cowardly! Cowardly! Greedy! Foolish!"

"Targeting me because of greed is the most foolish mistake you've ever made!"

As if strolling leisurely in a garden,

Tenmuro walked up to Kakuzu.

Looking at Kakuzu, who looked extremely disheveled,

His tone was flat, as if he were stating a very simple fact.

At this moment, he was simply standing on the ground.

Yet it is powerful enough to intimidate!

"Heh... Are you lecturing me?"

In a single exchange, he was beaten so badly by the opponent.

Having just had her deepest secret exposed, and then hearing Tianyu's somewhat arrogant tone...

Kakuzu's face immediately turned bluish-purple.

He shouted:

"You should know that when I was making my way in the ninja world, brats like you weren't even born yet!"

The next second, his full power erupted, and he roared...

"Tentacle Punch!"

Although Tianyu shattered one of his hearts,

However, due to the Earth Grudge Fear, this did not have a significant impact on Kakuzu's fighting ability.

At this moment, he decided to teach this arrogant brat in front of him a lesson!

Unleash the full power of the Earth Grudge!

The moment the words fell, Kakuzu angrily attacked, suddenly throwing a punch at Tenyu from a distance!

A sharp black shadow flashed through the air.

Kakuzu's wrist was severed directly from the seam.

Numerous mysterious black tentacles emerged from the center, and a powerful punch suddenly blasted out!

Its power is no less than that of Tsunade's Super Strength Fist.

It is extremely destructive and can easily knock down a wall.

"Is this the legendary secret technique of Takigakure—Earth Grudge Fear—its true power?"

Faced with the resentment and suspicion that Kakuzu was exploiting,

A heavy punch suddenly extended and came from a distance.

Tianyu's expression was very calm, and his dark eyes were as serene as an autumn pool in the deep mountains.

"It looks disgusting."

He's made himself look like neither human nor ghost...

Fortunately, the system issued a task.

You can directly recycle things like Earthly Grudges.

Otherwise, even if Tianyu obtained this thing, he would never implant it into his body.

Although the Earthly Grudge Fear can indeed bring a decent boost to strength.

As a treasured secret technique of Takigakure, it uses chakra to control the black blood vessel tentacles that grow from the body, which can be transformed into ninjutsu suitable for long-range attacks, allowing for tactics that leave the opponent overwhelmed.

Moreover, these black vascular tentacles can also seize the hearts of others, attracting them along with their chakra into their bodies. They can even use different attribute chakra from different hearts, making Kakuzu a near-immortal being.

Moreover, the Earthly Grudge is an extremely strange creature, and it is very difficult to deal with.

Even after separating from its main body, it can move its tentacles freely like a living organism, changing their length and shape at will to cope with any situation.

In his complete form, Kakuzu gave away his remaining four hearts.

They are all hidden deep within Di Yuan Yu's body, making it impossible for Tian Yu to attack them easily anymore.

It can be said that Kakuzu in his current situation,

There are almost no blind spots.

"But this level of power is not enough to pose a threat to me!"

A slight smile appeared on Tianyu's lips, and then he whispered a command.

"The Eight Gates Formation, the first gate, the Opening Gate—Open!"

"The second gate, the Gate of Rest—open!"

"The third gate, the gate of life—open!"

"The fourth gate, the gate of injury—open!"

With a series of low shouts, Tianyu directly opened the Eight Gates Formation up to the fourth gate, the Gate of Injury.

A burst of violent green chakra erupted from Tianyu's body, releasing an extremely astonishing amount of energy.

"Huff!! Huff!!"

The violent green chakra emanating from Tenyu continuously ravaged the surrounding air.

Clearly visible streams of air blew in all directions.

Such an aura is incredibly domineering.

It was a massive and terrifying event.

The destructive power of the Heavenly Armor is now astonishing.

A flash of white light appeared in his hand, and a dark brown leather gauntlet appeared on his right hand.

A four-star ninja tool—the Berserker Gauntlets, wind attribute.

It has a 300% critical hit rate and randomly triggers small-scale wind-style ninjutsu.

After putting on these berserker gauntlets,

This is enough to amplify Tianyu's current power by more than three times.

This will allow his current combat power to advance to an even more terrifying level!

"bring it on!"

The moment the words fell,

Tianyu then transformed into a phantom.

He met the oncoming Earth Grudge Tentacle's heavy punch head-on!

With a single punch, a gust of wind arose.

A violent gust of air accompanied Tianyu's fist as it blasted out, instantly transforming into countless tiny wind blades.
