Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

Kakuzu sized up Orochimaru in front of him.

Orochimaru asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

"Me? I'm just a bounty hunter who wants the head behind you that's worth 3000 million ryo," Kakuzu said seriously.

Orochimaru's expression turned cold, a dangerous glint flashing in his eyes: "Do you think that's possible? If you don't want to die..."

"It seems that the younger generation of Konoha are very confident now. When I fought the First Hokage, you probably weren't even born yet."

Kakuzu said indifferently.

Fighting the First Generation Lord!?

Upon hearing this, everyone was startled.

The First Hokage is hailed as the God of Shinobi; anyone who can fight him and survive is definitely a Kage-level powerhouse.

Having lived from the first generation to the present, he must be at least seventy years old, but the other person's voice sounds like he's only in his thirties.

"I've heard that the First Hokage could catch the Nine-Tails with one hand. I'm afraid you can't do that, can you?"

Bai Yu raised questions.

The person in front of me should be Kakuzu, the one from the theory of non-action.

Through his perception, Kakuzu's chakra strength surpassed Orochimaru's, but the difference wasn't significant. As for claiming he fought the First Hokage, that was probably just boasting.

"It was Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands that weakened my chakra! Not just one hand!" The Nine-Tails in the sealed space was furious and accused Bai Yu of slander.

Seeing that Jiao hadn't reacted, Bai Yu feigned confusion and asked:

"You mean when you said you fought the First Generation Lord, it wasn't when he was a baby?"

"You brat?! You're asking for death!" Kakuzu narrowed his eyes. He was just saying it casually, but Shiraha's words reminded him of his terrible memories.

The village sent him to assassinate the First Hokage, but he couldn't even distinguish the First Hokage's Wood Release clones, and was completely overwhelmed and severely injured by them.

In the end, it was only because the First Hokage spared him that he was able to return to Takigakure alive.

Upon returning to the village, he was imprisoned by the village's higher-ups for failing his mission and then sent to the Ghost Lantern Castle.

When he escaped from Hozuki Castle and returned to Takigakure, the first thing he did was to kill all the high-ranking officials and then steal the 'Earth Grudge Fear' secret technique to defect.

'Hidden Shadows, Many Snake Hands!'

Taking advantage of Kakuzu's moment of enrage, Orochimaru suddenly launched an attack. He raised his right hand and activated a B-rank ninjutsu without hand seals, transforming his entire right arm into more than a dozen pythons that attacked Kakuzu.

"hiss--!"

The python arrived in an instant, right in front of Kakuzu. It opened its mouth wide, revealing sharp fangs, and let out a chilling hiss, as if it could swallow Kakuzu whole in one gulp.

Earth escape·Earth spear!

Kakuzu clasped his hands together.

His neck, shoulders, and waist were simultaneously bitten by more than a dozen pythons.

Click!

A sharp scraping sound rang out; the pythons' fangs couldn't even pierce the skin of the horn.

His exposed skin turned a yellowish-brown, and his body seemed to have turned to stone.

"hiss--!"

With a forceful tug, the python let out a mournful cry and was instantly torn into several pieces.

At the same time, Kakuzu quickly formed hand seals.

'Fire Release: Head Carving!'

A fireball the size of a fist spewed from Kakuzu's mouth. The moment it flew out, it rapidly enlarged, instantly transforming into a wall of flames that engulfed the entire forest.

"Watch out!" Orochimaru's expression changed slightly, and he immediately warned Bai Yu and the others. At the same time, he bit his finger and used the Summoning Jutsu!

'Spiritual Communication Technique - First Level Rashomon!'

Rumble~

The earth trembled, and in a flash, a huge metal gate carved with the head of a demon rose from the ground, blocking the powerful fire attack that was coming towards them.

Orochimaru's expression was somewhat solemn; this person had already mastered the nature and form transformations of Fire Release to an extremely high level.

Although it's also a B-rank Fire Release technique, the power of this Fire Release ninjutsu is probably stronger than the Third Hokage's Fire Dragon Flame Bullet and the Uchiha clan's Great Fire Annihilation.

boom!

A tremendous roar resounded, and a clear fist imprint appeared at the bottom of Rashomon.

Shiraha, Kushina, Chiho, and Eito quickly retreated.

They can't join a battle of this level right away, otherwise they might not be able to help Orochimaru and could even be a hindrance.

"Watch out! Two more have appeared!" the Englishman suddenly shouted a warning.

boom!

Rashomon suffered another heavy blow, then vanished into smoke.

[Chapter 76 Dragon Cave]

Wind Release: Pressure Damage!

Fire Release: Head Carving!

Two masked, humanoid creatures made of black tentacles suddenly appeared beside Orochimaru and launched a combination ninjutsu.

Composite Ninja Art: Flaming Wind Chaos!

The high-pressure wind ball formed a powerful whirlwind that swept towards Orochimaru, rapidly spreading its fire jutsu. A massive wave of flames, like a tsunami, crashed down with overwhelming force.

The most troublesome enemies are those with a large amount of chakra and who are skilled in wide-range attack ninjutsu.

Unable to get close to the enemy, and needing to protect his teammates behind him, Orochimaru had no choice but to engage in a ninjutsu duel with the opponent.

Earth Escape·Earth Current City Wall!

Orochimaru slammed his hands on the ground, unleashing the advanced Earth Flow Wall technique, Earth Flow Castle Wall. A massive earthen wall rose from the ground and stood before him.

boom--!

However, the wind and fire combination ninjutsu was clearly superior. The earthen wall facing the flames was quickly heated red-hot, developed numerous cracks, and was subsequently destroyed.

The entire forest turned into a sea of ​​fire, with thick smoke billowing and flames shooting into the sky.

In just a few exchanges, Kakuzu used three different escape techniques: earth, fire, and wind.

While the claim of fighting the first generation might be an exaggeration, his strength was indeed considerable.

Orochimaru tilted his head back and spat out a long sword gleaming with a cold light from his mouth, which he then gripped in his hand.

Kusanagi Sword: Sky Sword - This is an indestructible divine weapon.

Even the third-generation summon beast, the Monkey King with a Vajra body, could not withstand the Kusanagi sword's attacks for long.

"So you're Kakuzu, the rogue ninja from Takigakure who specializes in stealing people's hearts?" Orochimaru glanced at Kakuzu, whose body had returned to human form, and the other two monsters wearing Earth Grudge Masks.

Kakuzu just blocked his Shadow Serpent Hands attack, which clearly shows that he possesses an Earth Release ninjutsu that can enhance his body, but no matter how much he enhances it, it can't possibly be stronger than the Monkey King's Vajra body.

"You can still regret it now!" Kakuzu said, but he didn't give Orochimaru any time to think. His main body and the two Earth Grudge Masked Monsters attacked Orochimaru again.

boom!

boom!

boom!

Kakuzu did not use ninjutsu again.

After all, even with multiple hearts and multiple sources of chakra, it is impossible to use advanced ninjutsu multiple times in a row.

However, even in terms of taijutsu alone, Kakuzu's strength is unmatched by ordinary Jonin.

Each heavy blow creates a large crater in the ground; with such force, a normal ninja would be seriously injured if hit even once.

However, his opponent was Orochimaru.

As the Kusanagi sword was swung, the body of the Earth Grudge Masked Monster was as fragile as tofu, crumbling at the slightest touch.

However, the black, thread-like tentacles reconnect the moment the body is cut open, as if the creature were immortal.

After a few rounds, Orochimaru discovered the problem: although the masks were fearless in the face of his attacks, they avoided the masks' positions.

"The key is the mask?!"

Orochimaru's mind raced, and he already had a plan.

At this moment, Kakuzu's true form descended from the sky, his fists suddenly detaching from his wrists and shooting towards Orochimaru below.

Orochimaru leaped away and dodged it.

boom!

A huge crater appeared in the ground.

Kakuzu used the black tentacles connected between his fist and wrist to descend rapidly.

"Watch out!" came the Englishman's voice from dozens of meters away.

boom!

The ground beneath Bai Yu's feet suddenly cracked open, and Kakuzu's fists burst forth from the earth, slamming towards Bai Yu's face.

This guy actually controlled his tentacles to dig a tunnel dozens of meters underground to ambush Bai Yu.

Bai Yu retreated rapidly, simultaneously unleashing his chakra, taking a deep breath, and throwing a punch in retaliation.

Kushina was faster; in a flash, she appeared in front of Shiraha.

"Die—!"

boom!

Kushina unleashed a barrage of punches, blasting Kakuzu's fists, which were enhanced using Earth Release ninjutsu, to smithereens.
