This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

The lack of obvious weaknesses means that Kakuzu has no obvious strengths either, which also means that when facing a truly strong opponent, Kakuzu will not be able to perform well on either the offensive or defensive end.

In terms of defense, Kakuzu's five lives seem to be very durable, and he also has a hardening earth-style ninjutsu, which seems extraordinary.

But in fact, Kakuzu's death proved one thing. Although his defense could not be said to be shattered at the slightest touch, it was completely powerless in the face of powerful moves.

In this regard, whether it is the Third Raikage, the Fourth Raikage, or the successive Kazekage who are good at using sand manipulation ninjutsu, they can be said to be completely superior to Kakuzu.

In terms of attack, Kakuzu's most powerful move is just a compound ninjutsu that combines the three attributes of wind, fire, and thunder. Although it has a domineering name like "Final Shot", it is actually not worthy of the name.

Kakuzu's strength is in the middle among the Kage-level strongmen, and is infinitely close to the "midpoint".

The characteristic of his strength is that when facing ninjas who are weaker than him, he is fully capable of suppressing them in all directions or even directly crushing them. However, in front of a real strong man, Kakuzu's strength is not enough and he is crushed instead.

After quickly analyzing Kakuzu's strength from beginning to end in his mind, Mizunoe Ryosuke shook his head lightly.

That's all Kakuzu's strength is, but his shortcomings are more than that.

First of all, it's a personality issue. Although he's relatively cautious and prudent, he's also overly greedy for money. Plus, he's done a lot of dirty work in the ninja world over the years, making him a notorious figure in the ninja world.

But in fact, these are not all. Kakuzu’s biggest problem is - potential!

Yes, potential.

Chapter 443, That’s Not Certain

Potential, or talent, is an important part of a ninja's value.

Kakuzu's talent can be said to be the worst among the Kage-level warriors.

The secret technique, Di Yu Yuan, gave Kakuzu an almost immortal life.

During the First Shinobi World War, Kakuzu was already a Kage-level warrior.

Until the eve of the Fourth Shinobi World War, Kakuzu was still at the level of Kage.

After such a long time, Kakuzu's strength has not improved at all!

You know, Kakuzu possesses five attributes! With so much time, is it difficult for him to develop some powerful techniques based on his own abilities?

And for decades, Kakuzu seemed to have done nothing except bullying the weak in exchange for bounties every day, indulging in this low-level hobby. Unexpectedly, he was completely terrible at improving his strength.

Lack of talent is one thing, but the most important thing is mentality.

In his long life, Kakuzu had already lost himself, his soul had already decayed, and he was only satisfied with the insignificant comfort of the moment.

In fact, Mizunoe Ryosuke had thought about recruiting Kakuzu. After all, who would mind having an extra Kage-level fighter under his command?

Kakuzu's greed for money meant that he was always likely to betray his country for the sake of profit.

Kakuzu's bad reputation also means that if Mizunoe Ryosuke recruits Kakuzu, it will have a negative impact on Kirigakure and at the same time cause him to become enemies with Takinin.

Kakuzu's laziness and decay also indicate that Kakuzu has no potential for further growth in the future.

Recruiting Kakuzu is totally not worth it.

For various reasons, Mizunoe Ryosuke decided to kill Kakuzu.

In front of Kakuzu and the even stronger Mizunoe Ryosuke, Kurotsuchi's strength is indeed not enough.

However, Kurotsuchi, who is at the level of a senior ninja, is definitely considered an elite in the ninja world.

Because of their identities as ninjas, Kurotsuchi was still curious about the battle between the two.

She curled up in Mizunoe Ryosuke's arms and watched intently the battle between the two Ice Dragon Kings and the fully-powered Kakuzu.

After all, battles between strong people of this level are rare for her.

Mizunoe Ryosuke did not rush to act. He seemed to notice Kurotsuchi's gaze and spoke slowly. His clear and steady voice reached Kurotsuchi's ears.

"Kakuzu uses a secret technique called 'Earth's Grudge'."

"This is the secret of Takinin Village. Kakuzu stole it and used it on himself."

"The effect of this secret technique allows Kakuzu to possess five hearts at once."

"And each heart has a completely different property."

"That's why he theoretically has 'five lives.'"

Mizunoe Ryosuke explained calmly, and this one sentence directly revealed Kakuzu's past, making Kurotsuchi in his arms look even more surprised.

In Heitu's memory, he had never even heard of such a secret technique!

And this is a secret technique that allows people to possess five attributes! Ninjas with five attributes have long been reduced to legendary existences during the time when Kurotsuchi lived.

"No wonder that weirdo was able to attack me with Earth Style, Lightning Style, and Fire Style at the same time!"

Heitu understood everything in an instant.

Not only Kurotsuchi, but also Kakuzu on the side was suddenly shocked.

In fact, although on the surface Kakuzu was very focused on the battle with the Ice Dragon King, most of his attention was on Mizunoe Ryosuke standing beside him.

Kakuzu knew very well that the seemingly powerful Ice Dragon King was just a spell cast by that man.

His real opponent is Mizunoe Ryosuke who remains calm and collected.

Therefore, Kakuzu heard every word that Mizunoe Ryosuke said.

At that moment, Kakuzu's heart was trembling, and he made mistakes in the battle with the Ice Dragon King. He almost got smashed to pieces by the Ice Dragon King because of a mistake.

"How can it be!"

"How could he possibly know so much about Di Yuyuan!"

Fortunately, Kakuzu suppressed the fear in his heart with his rich experience and roared in disbelief in his heart.

For a ninja, there is nothing more dangerous than having his abilities seen through.

It was natural for Kakuzu to be shocked. Although he had been active in the ninja world for a long time, he had always carefully hidden the secret of his abilities, for fear that one day someone would find out.

In order to keep his secret, Kakuzu usually wraps himself up like a dumpling in a long robe. Whenever he attacks with all his strength, he will definitely clean up the surroundings without leaving any survivors, in order to hide his breast pads.

Therefore, even though some information about Kakuzu's abilities was circulating in the ninja world, it was just some insignificant information.

No one has ever fully understood the secret of Di Yuyuan. Now that Mizunoe Ryosuke has revealed the secret, how can Kakuzu not be shocked and angry?

Who is this man? Why does he know all his secrets?!

Fire escape. Work hard!

At that moment, Kakuzu directly activated the fire-attributed Di Yuan beside him, releasing a blazing sea of ​​fire, temporarily forcing back the Ice Dragon King who was fighting with him.

"who are you?!"

Afterwards, Kakuzu couldn't hold back any longer and took advantage of this opportunity to turn around and question Mizunoe Ryosuke.

"The one who killed you."

In response to Kakuzu's question, Mizunoe Ryosuke spoke without any fluctuation in his tone, his eyes still filled with calm indifference.

This sentence was so understated that it seemed as if killing Kakuzu was as easy as crushing a gutter bug.

Upon hearing this, Kakuzu was furious and his heart was instantly consumed by anger.

Faced with this indifferent contempt, Kakuzu instantly remembered the bounty hunters who died at his hands a few hours ago.

Did they also feel such anger and unwillingness in their hearts before they died?

A bad premonition flashed through Kakuzu's mind, but he quickly suppressed it.

He's Kakuzu! He's an immortal being! This man must be feigning composure!

After completely destroying these two troublesome ice dragons, he will definitely tear this hateful man into pieces!

"Roar!"

Without giving Kakuzu time to think, the Ice Dragon King, who was forced back by the blazing sea of ​​fire, flapped his wings again and rushed towards Kakuzu.

"boom!"

A dull sound of collision was heard, and a dragon, a man and two monsters were fighting each other again.

"These black-haired monsters are the carriers of Kakuzu's other four hearts. Each of them can be considered a part of Kakuzu."

"So, if you want to kill him, you must destroy all five of his hearts."

"As long as there is a heart left, Kakuzu can live forever."

Ignoring the look that seemed to be able to cut people into pieces, Mizunoe Ryosuke continued speaking calmly.

"That"

"Doesn't that mean we can never kill him?"

At this moment, Kurotsuchi, who was in Mizunoe Ryosuke's arms, slowly raised his head and asked Ryosuke weakly.

After all, Kakuzu is not stupid, he will run away if he can't win.

If the four Di Yuyuan and Jiaodu's real bodies run away in five directions at the same time, how should we chase them?

"Not always."

Hearing this, Mizunoe Ryosuke just smiled and rubbed Kurotsuchi's little head, with a deep look in his eyes.

Chapter 444, Wind Style. Rasenshuriken!

Hearing this, Heitu was stunned for a moment, but soon a hint of understanding appeared in her eyes.

That's right. After all, the man in front of him is like a "demon god". No matter how strong the opponent is, how can he be compared with a god?

I think no matter what kind of monster it is, it will be vulnerable in front of this man.

Mizunoe used the Ice Dragon King just to hold Kakuzu back.

Now, it's time for him to show his real killer move.

Holding Kurotsuchi's delicate body with one hand, Mizunoe Ryosuke slowly raised his other hand.

“Su!!”

With the sound of chakra condensing, the constantly rotating light blue chakra was condensed in Mizunoe Ryosuke's hand.

Ninja method. Rasengan!

In the original work, the protagonist Naruto's signature skill appeared so casually in the hands of Mizunoe Ryosuke -.

In the original work, the Rasengan ninjutsu was developed by Konoha's fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, around the time of the Third Shinobi World War.

Ryosuke Mizunoe, who is familiar with the anime plot, naturally has a very good understanding of the principles and structure of this technique. With Ryosuke Mizunoe's talent in ninjutsu, he naturally replicated the Rasengan without much effort.

As the main skill of the protagonist in the original work, the Rasengan is naturally extremely powerful.

The Rasengan is not only a ninjutsu without seals, but also consumes very little energy. Most importantly, its power is also quite impressive. And because it is a "non-attribute" ninjutsu, its learning will not be restricted by attribute talents.

The most important thing is that the Rasengan is still a "semi-finished" ninjutsu, and it has endless potential for subsequent development.

In the original work, the protagonist Naruto injected wind-attributed changes into the Rasengan and developed the S-level wind-style ninjutsu Rasenshuriken.

It was with this move that the protagonist Naruto destroyed Kakuzu's two hearts in one move.

I have to say that at this moment, when Ryosuke Mizunoe used the Rasengan to fight Kakuzu, there was a sense of "fate".

Kurotsuchi's worries just now were not groundless. As a veteran who had survived in the ninja world for many years, seeking benefits and avoiding harm was a basic skill.

Once Kakuzu sees that he is no match for his opponent, he will most likely run away, and at that time, there is a real possibility that Kakuzu will escape.

Therefore, the best way is to take advantage of the fact that all five of Kakuzu's hearts are on the field now and destroy all five of Kakuzu's hearts with one move.

If you want to destroy all five of Kakuzu's hearts with one move, the Rasengan alone is naturally not enough.

“Su!!!!”

As Mizunoe Ryosuke's eyes became deeper, the light blue Rasengan in his hand began to gradually transform into blue. The Rasengan, which was originally round in shape, gradually developed an extremely sharp edge.

In just a short moment, the light blue Rasengan that could be held in one hand evolved into a huge blue shuriken. The blue shuriken that kept spinning violently burst out with bursts of terrifying sharp aura.

No matter who it is, once they see this huge green shuriken, they will inevitably feel a tingling sensation on their scalp.

As soon as the blue shuriken with a terrifying aura appeared in Mizunoe Ryosuke's hand, it attracted the attention of Kakuzu standing beside him.

A sense of inevitability suddenly rose in his heart, as if he had met his nemesis and natural enemy, but under the entanglement of the Ice Dragon King, he was unable to free up his hands to defend himself.

"hateful!"

Kakuzu cursed angrily and threw a punch with all his might. Under the effect of the Earth Grudge Technique, his wrist was separated from his fist. A large number of pitch-black tentacles surged out from the gap in his wrist and hit the Ice Dragon King's body directly.

"Crack!"
