This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

Using the portable hovering ability brought by the Earth Escape and Light and Heavy Rock Technique, Mizunoe Ryosuke's ice clone has actually been floating in the air, following Kurotsuchi's side.

From the beginning to the end, Kurotsuchi has never been able to escape from the palm of Mizunoe Ryosuke's hand.

It's just like escaping from a fish tank into a larger fish pond.

"I didn't expect that I would actually catch a familiar face."

Mizunoe Ryosuke looked at Kakuzu who was showing off his posture below, and a hint of deep understanding flashed in his eyes.

That's right, both Kakuzu and Kurotsuchi had unknowingly fallen into the trap set by Mizunoe Ryosuke.

For Kurotsuchi, Mizunoe Ryosuke adopted the strategy of "playing hard to get".

Since it has been confirmed that Heitu has no ability to "go back", forcing him is obviously the worst option if you want him to return.

In addition to forcing him, if you want Kurotsuchi to stay with Mizunoe Ryosuke happily, you must win his favor.

Question: How to quickly improve a woman’s favorability?

A: Of course it’s the timeless hero-saving-beauty routine.

If there is no opportunity, of course we have to create one.

Therefore, whether it is Kurotsuchi's escape or the bounty in the underground exchange, it is all part of Mizunoe Ryosuke's plan of playing hard to get.

What Mizunoe Ryosuke didn't expect was that through the bounty offered by the underground exchange, he actually hooked out another familiar face.

Kakuzu, a member of the Akatsuki organization, codenamed "Hokuto", forms the "zombie duo" in the Akatsuki organization with Hidan in the original work.

In the Akatsuki organization, the zombie duo also made an indelible contribution.

Kakuzu and Hidan not only worked together to capture the Two-Tails, but were also tasked with raising funds for the organization.

It played a significant role in promoting the implementation of Obito and Madara's "Moon Eye" plan.

Unlike other members of Akatsuki who are either not born yet or are still in their infancy, Kakuzu is still in his peak form at this time.

This is due to the characteristics brought about by the secret technique "Earth Grudge" that Kakuzu is proficient in.

Before joining Akatsuki, Kakuzu had been active in the underground world of the ninja world, obtaining money through bounties in underground exchanges to satisfy his own desires.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Jiao Du appears here because of the bounty offered by Heitu in the underground exchange.

After figuring everything out, the Ice Clone pondered for a moment and finally made up his mind.

Kakuzu's arrival did not affect his plan of playing hard to get, but instead had a better effect.

Thinking of this, the ice clone formed a seal with one hand and reported all the situations to Mizunoe Ryosuke on the other side.

“Dang!!!!”

Kurotsuchi used the kunai in his hand and tried his best to block Kakuzu's iron fist. After the kunai collided with Kakuzu's fist, bursts of metal clashing sounds broke out.

Earth escape. Hardening technique!

This is the secret earth escape technique that Kakuzu excels at. He can use this move to greatly enhance his melee combat ability, which is similar to the earth escape rock fist technique.

Once this technique is performed, Kakuzu's arms will turn dark black and become as hard as steel.

At this moment, a huge force came from the kunai. Even though he tried his best, Kurotsuchi was still blasted away by Kakuzu.

One punch wasn't enough to send Kurotsuchi flying, so Kakuzu slammed his hands together.

"Pfft!"

The skin on Kakuzu's shoulder blade that was stitched together instantly ruptured, and a large number of black silk tentacles swarmed out from it.

“Swish!!!”

Secret technique. Earth's resentment!

Endless black tentacles chased after Heitu again. At this moment, Heitu, who was knocked away and unable to resist, became in danger in an instant.

Recalling the ground that had been attacked by the tentacles of the Earth Ghost before, Heitu knew that if she was hit by this attack, she would probably die on the spot.

Heitu couldn't care about anything else and could only use his trump card to escape the crisis!

In fact, Kurotsuchi herself is also a ninja with bloodstains. Her bloodstains are similar to those of the Lava Release Ninja Lao Zi, but her level of development is not as high as Lao Zi's, and her power is far from comparable to Lao Zi's.

Molten Escape. Ash Stone Condensation Technique!

Flying backwards, Heitu quickly formed seals.

At that moment, she opened her mouth and spit out a large amount of cement mixed with water and lime.

The cement torrent carrying high quality and solidifying properties instantly submerged the dark tentacles. Under the impact of the cement torrent, Kakuzu's Di Yuyuan tentacle attack not only failed to work, but was directly imprisoned on the spot.

"Chance!"

Kurotsuchi's eyes lit up, and after landing he didn't bother to conserve his chakra, and quickly formed seals again, intending to take this opportunity to counterattack.

But who would have thought that in response to Kurotsuchi's actions, Kakuzu only smiled with contempt.

Chapter 438: Twisted and Evil Secret Art

It is absolutely true that an old man who refuses to die is a thief.

Many years have passed, and compared with strong men like Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, Kakuzu's strength is still not enough.

But over the years, Kakuzu has not been standing still.

Time has given Kakuzu an advantage called "experience".

Especially compared with the extremely immature Kurotsuchi in front of him, Kakuzu's combat experience can be said to be far superior to Kurotsuchi's.

In response to Kurotsuchi's somewhat impatient counterattack, Kakuzu seemed unhurried, with a hint of contempt in his eyes.

Faced with his tentative attack, the opponent actually chose to reveal his trump card. It is not an exaggeration to say that his combat awareness is "naive".

This is inevitable. Given Heitu's background and age, he has not experienced many bloody battles, so it is normal for him to reveal flaws.

Black Earth's Molten Escape and Gray Stone Condensation Technique solidified all the black tentacles that erupted from Angle's shoulder blades in place.

Because the tentacles were solidified by cement, the huge weight also restrained Kakuzu, making him unable to move for a while.

Seeing that Kurotsuchi's hand seal was about to be completed, Kakuzu was not panicked at all.

In other words, he deliberately allowed Kurotsuchi to perform ninjutsu.

Just when Kurotsuchi was about to complete her ninjutsu with just one last seal, the ground beneath her feet suddenly cracked.

"boom!!!"

With a roar, several black tentacles condensed from black and dirty threads suddenly broke out of the ground.

"what!"

Heitu was shocked. Seeing the dark tentacles about to pierce her body, a trace of struggle flashed in Heitu's eyes.

Because you have to know that at this moment, Kurotsuchi's ninjutsu is only missing the last seal. As long as this seal is made, her ninjutsu will be successfully activated, and Kakuzu, who will be unable to move, will be directly killed by her ninjutsu.

If she could kill Kakuzu first, then Kakuzu's strange tentacle ninjutsu would definitely end, and she could then directly win the battle.

So should she take a gamble?

In this less than one thousandth of a second, a trace of struggle flashed through Heitu's heart.

On the other side of Heitu, Kakuzu, who was trapped in cement, had a hint of amusement in his eyes.

The battle between ninjas is not just a constant collision between each other, but also a psychological game.

Kakuzu could have directly controlled the tentacles to attack Kurotsuchi, but he chose to wait until Kurotsuchi was about to complete the hand seal before taking action. He also wanted to take advantage of Kurotsuchi's inner gambling mentality to directly get rid of Kurotsuchi.

If Kurotsuchi really decided to take a gamble, she would fall directly into Kakuzu's trap.

This kind of situation is exactly what Kakuzu is best at. When it comes to "trading injury for injury", he has never been afraid of anyone.

Because even if he stood still and let Heitu hit him, Heitu would not be able to kill him with one move.

Now, it depends on how to choose the black soil.

Ultimately, Kurotsuchi decided to follow his instincts.

She forcibly stopped forming hand seals and used the body-flickering technique to dodge behind her.

"Whoosh!"

Kakuzu's tentacles once again missed, but this time he did not return empty-handed.

Even though he used the instant body movement technique in time, Kurotsuchi was unable to perfectly avoid the attack of the tentacles this time.

"hateful!"

Heitu covered his arm and cursed inwardly through gritted teeth.

She lowered her head and looked at her arm, and saw a dark mark on her flawless white forearm.

Not only that, there seemed to be dirty threads flowing in the wound on her forearm.

It turned out that when she was dodging just now, she was caught off guard and was scratched by Kakuzu's black tentacles.

Before Heitu could catch her breath, a sound like stones breaking reached her ears.

"boom!!!"

The cement blocks that had originally solidified Kakuzu's numerous tentacles were actually torn apart by Kakuzu's Di Yuyuan tentacles.

Kurotsuchi's pupils shrank slightly. It turned out that Kakuzu had been teasing her all along. He could easily break free from this little bit of cement.

"Now, I've had enough fun, so please die."

Looking at the pretty girl opposite him, there was no sympathy in Kakuzu's eyes, only desire and greed for money.

Under Kakuzu's evil gaze, Kurotsuchi's skin was covered in goosebumps.

"Run! You must run!"

Kurotsuchi suddenly realized that judging by her fighting ability, it was simply impossible for her to be able to withstand the twisted and ugly man in front of her.

If you want to survive, you have to run away!

At that moment, Heitu prepared to escape from here without looking back.

But, would an experienced veteran like Kakuzu give her (Qian De) a chance to escape?

The answer is obviously no.

In other words, the reason why Kakuzu and Kurotsuchi were entangled here was just to arrange means to prevent Kurotsuchi from escaping.

Heitu didn't notice that one of the masks sewn on his back was missing silently.

As she turned around to run away, she suddenly stopped.

At some point, a monster had quietly crept up to a place not far behind her, and was now staring at her with its head tilted.

The monster had a bloated, massive body and wore a terrifying, bizarre mask. Its entire body was composed of garbled, filthy, pitch-black threads, resembling an oversized black sea urchin, brimming with a murky, unclean, and evil aura.

Chapter 439, Master?

With wolves in front and tigers behind, Heitu obviously has no way to escape.

At this moment, Kakuzu's patience had already been exhausted.

"Die!"

Kakuzu shouted, the murderous intent in his fluorescent green eyes surging.

“Puff!!!”

At this moment, the place where Kakuzu's shoulder blade was stitched with black silk thread broke again, but this time it was different from before. What appeared from the gap was not pitch-black tentacles, but two twisted heads with strange masks.

Kakuzu actually moved the two masks sewn on his back to his shoulder blades.

Fire escape. Work hard!

As Kakuzu formed hand seals, the mask on his left shoulder slowly opened its huge mouth full of fangs, and terrifying high temperature gathered inside.

At the same time, the pitch-black monster behind Heitu was not idle either. He also opened his huge black mouth and brewed purple electric light in it.

Thunder escape. Pseudo dark!

Violent red flames and purple electric light spewed out from the mouths of the two masked monsters at the same time.

Whether in terms of coverage or quality, these two techniques have definitely reached the pinnacle level of the ninja world.

In terms of the release of ninjutsu, Kakuzu has undoubtedly surpassed the vast majority of ninjas in the ninja world.

Faced with these equally fierce attacks from 810 in front and 810 in the back, Heitu was completely unable to resist.
