Konoha: I have a gravity training room

Soon, the group met at the gate.

In addition to Kakashi and Asuma, there are Neji, Sasuke, Shino and Shikamaru.

The four of them were curious about this mission, thinking that the level must be high, otherwise they wouldn't send two Jonin and bring four Chunin with them.

Chapter 178 Six-Man Team

The six-man team set off immediately.

While speeding along, Kakashi and Asuma did not tell the four people about the content of the mission.

It was not until they took a break halfway and let Neji and Shino make sure that there was no one around that Kakashi took out the information about Kakuzu and Hidan and showed it to the four of them.

"Look carefully, don't miss anything, this time it could be fatal!" Asma reminded.

"This is..." The four people looked at it and their expressions changed.

Shino's sunglasses reflected the light. "This is Xia Mu's handwriting. So Xia Mu is currently monitoring two dangerous guys. Should we go to their aid?"

Sasuke gripped the short sword tightly, his tone cold: "Akatsuki organization, there is such a dangerous person!"

Shikamaru looked hopeless: "This mission, I'm afraid it's S-rank, a Chunin like me doing an S-rank mission? How troublesome!"

Neji said in a serious tone, "Fortunately, Natsuki obtained useful intelligence in advance, otherwise if we Konoha ninjas accidentally encountered them, we would definitely suffer heavy losses. Lady Tsunade must have wanted to eliminate the threat as soon as possible, so she chose to take action."

"That's right."

Kakashi affirmed, "I chose you because, firstly, Asuma and I are the only Jonin left in the village, and secondly, I have great confidence in your abilities and cooperation. Moreover, Natsuki will also take action when the time comes. Perhaps we only need to cooperate with Natsuki to eliminate the other party. As for strategy, I plan to find an opportunity to eliminate the two of them separately. We can discuss the details after meeting Natsuki. You can also think about it carefully, especially Shikamaru. I am very optimistic about your wisdom."

Shikamaru opened his mouth but said nothing.

But he was obviously already thinking about it in his mind.

Although he is afraid of trouble, he will still try hard to think of solutions when he encounters trouble.

The enemies he faces this time are the two strongest since he became a ninja. If he is not careful, his life will be in danger, so he must think of a foolproof plan.

Fortunately, Xia Mu gave more specific information in advance, which is much easier than knowing nothing.

"So, do you have any questions? If not, let's continue on our way..." Kakashi asked finally.

"I have a question."

Shikamaru suddenly spoke up, "Why don't you let Natsuki use Flying Thunder God to bring us back? I know Flying Thunder God can teleport people. Wouldn't it be more efficient to let Natsuki come back?"

Yes! Why not?

Everyone looked at Kakashi, who scratched his head, not knowing how to explain for a moment.

Fortunately, Shino understood better and explained, "Natsuki has only recently learned Flying Thunder God. It's not safe to teleport people with him, let alone so many people. Furthermore, Flying Thunder God teleportation consumes a lot of chakra, which is very disadvantageous to Natsuki. If you don't understand, look at Tenten, who just learned Flying Thunder God. Now he can only teleport small notes."

Several people suddenly realized: So that's how it is!

"Well, that's it."

Kakashi scratched his head awkwardly.

In reality, he didn't really know how well Xia Mu was handling Flying Thunder God, but he was used to this arrangement and felt it was safer. And just as Shino had said, Flying Thunder God consumed mana, and teleporting someone consumed even more mana. A large mana drain wouldn't be good for Xia Mu, so it would be better for them to go there on their own.

Fortunately, Yuzhi spoke up, otherwise he really didn't know how to explain it.

To ease the awkwardness, Kakashi changed the subject: "Ahem! By the way, you all brought chakra batteries, right? How are the current levels?"

Asuma and the other four subconsciously touched the batteries strapped to their arms: "It's full, all four runes are lit."

"Uh, oh, that's good, let's continue on our way now!"

Kakashi also touched his battery. He only had two runes left. After all, he was a big mana consumer and could hardly save much every day. Compared to everyone else, he was really miserable.

After a day of travel, the six people arrived at the agreed location smoothly, and it was completely dark.

The next second, Xia Mu appeared in a flash: "Huh? Six people are here? Shino, Shikamaru, Neji, Sasuke, you are all here!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Xia Mu arrive on time.

I'm glad Xia Mu is okay!

Kakashi asked, "Natsuki, tell me about those two people."

Xia Mu immediately spoke seriously, "After leaving the gold exchange, Kakuzu and Hidan immediately started looking for bounty targets again. They've already set their sights on one, and they should be making their move soon. In my opinion, they'll probably return to the gold exchange again."

Shikamaru was puzzled. "Why? Wouldn't they take the body somewhere else and exchange it for money at a money exchange?"

"It's a possibility, but it's very small."

Xia Mu explained, "From what I know about Kakuzu, he's a man obsessed with money. He'll definitely want to get his hands on the money as soon as possible, and that exchange is the closest. Also, he's particularly sensitive to people with high bounties, like Asuma-senpai. You'd better be careful. Your bounty on the black market is 35 million ryo!"

Asma was so stunned that the cigarette fell from his mouth.

He usually doesn't pay much attention to these things, and he didn't expect his bounty to be so high.

Everyone looked at Asuma with strange eyes. Shikamaru even considered the possibility of using Asuma as bait. After all, this bait really works.

Asuma quickly interrupted everyone's thoughts: "¨. Ahem! Well, let's discuss the battle plan based on the assumption that the two will return to the gold exchange. According to Kakashi, it's best to separate the two. Without Kakuzu's protection, Hidan won't be able to use the curse-killing secret technique, and it will be easier to kill him. Then we can join forces to deal with Kakuzu!"

Everyone nodded and began to think.

Xia Mu was not in a hurry to go back and keep an eye on them, because it was late at night and the two men would basically not move.

After everyone discussed it, there was still no result.

Because the two acted together, it was not easy to separate them secretly, even if Asma (Li Haozhao) was sent as bait.

Shikamaru frowned for a long time, then asked Xia Mu: "When do you think the two of them might separate? Even if it's just for a short while."

Xia Mu immediately began to think, mainly recalling the original work.

In the original story, it seems that Shikamaru and Asuma encountered Hidan who was alone. At the time, they thought Hidan was alone, but unexpectedly, Kakuzu was also there. The reason why Hidan and Kakuzu separated was...

"I think we'll be separated because of the bathroom!"

Xia Mu's words made everyone look strange, but he continued, "When the two of them came out of the gold exchange, Feidan complained about the smell of the place and was disgusted. So, I think Feidan will definitely not enter the gold exchange again, but choose to wait outside."

Huh? It's a ridiculous reason, but it seems possible.

After all, no one would go into a stinky toilet if they didn't have to!

Chapter 179 Battle Plan (Thanks for your monthly ticket support)

If Kakuzu was obsessed with money, he would definitely go to a money exchange.

But if the toilet is very smelly, Feidan may not go in.

Shikamaru frowned, then sat cross-legged, forming a strange seal with his hands at his dantian, as if he was practicing.

Everyone was wondering, but Asuma stopped them and told them to be quiet. After a long while, Shikamaru heaved a sigh of relief, his expression becoming much more relaxed.

Asuma smiled and said, "Shikamaru, have you figured out a solution?"

Shikamaru's posture just now was a habit of deep thought, so Asuma stopped everyone from interrupting him.

Shikamaru nodded. "There is a way. I'll tell you and we can improve it together. First, let's make the toilet smell even worse. If Natsuki's guess is correct, Hidan will definitely not go in and will wait outside, and the two of them will naturally separate. As for us, we will set up a place, and then Natsuki will use Flying Thunder God to bring Hidan over..."

Kakashi suddenly interrupted: "You can use Flying Thunder God, but you must keep Feidan away from the toilet, otherwise that Kakuzu might find out."

After all, Kakuzu is a very powerful guy, so we must be careful enough.

Xia Mu thought for a moment and added, "Hidan's secret curse technique can perhaps be called a ritual of sacrifice to the evil god he believes in. He worships the evil god very much."

537

Shikamaru immediately thought of it: "Then we should take advantage of this and lure him out of the bathroom. Then, let Xia Mu launch a surprise attack and use Flying Thunder God to take him away!"

As he spoke, Shikamaru asked Xia Mu to use Flying Thunder God to contact Tenten and ask Tenten to send a longer piece of white cloth. When the white cloth arrived, Shikamaru took out a pen and wrote a sentence on it.

Everyone twitched their lips when they saw this: If Feiduan really worshipped the evil god, he would be furious when he saw this sentence!

Afterwards, everyone continued to perfect the plan, had a good rest, and started working at dawn the next day.

Xia Mu continued to use Flying Thunder God to flash back to the surveillance location.

But I didn't expect that when I just came back, I saw Kakuzu carrying a corpse. It was obvious that he had not stopped last night and actually killed the target directly.

Feidan complained, "Didn't we just leave the gold exchange? Why are we going back again?!"

Kakuzu said calmly, "This bounty is 10 million taels, I need to exchange it quickly. Besides, the exchange office is close to here, I don't want to go far."

Hidan was speechless: "Bounty, bounty, don't you have anything else to pursue?"

Kakuzu nodded: "Only money will not betray me!"

Well, Feiduan was too lazy to say anything. He had nothing to do anyway. He might as well go around and preach. If that didn't work, he could just sacrifice a few people to the evil god.

Xia Mu saw it and immediately went back to inform everyone of the situation.

No one expected that these two people would come back so soon, and this Kakuzu was really obsessed with money. It seems that the guess was correct.

Kakashi said, "That's fine. We're already prepared, so there's no need to wait. Let's follow the plan and be careful!"

Everyone agreed and hid according to the plan.

Kakashi was taken to the bathroom by Xia Mu to wait.

About three hours later, Kakuzu and Hidan finally made their way back. As soon as they approached the restroom, Hidan couldn't help but hold his nose and retched.

"Ugh! Why is it even smellier than last time? Why set up the gold exchange in a place like this?" Feiduan complained loudly.

"As long as you have money, it doesn't matter whether you smell bad or not." Kakuzu's expression remained unchanged.

"Humph! I'm not going in to suffer. Go by yourself. I'll wait for you somewhere delicious!"

"casual."

Kakuzu carried the body and walked into the bathroom alone.

Hidan walked to the upwind side, away from the toilet. He had just sat down to rest when he saw a child walking by holding a white cloth with large words clearly visible on it:

Bullshit evil god! Even a fool wouldn't believe it!

This really made Feiduan furious. After all, it was a matter of questioning faith, how could he pretend not to see it?

"Stop right there, kid! Who wrote these words? I'm going to sacrifice him to the Evil God! And you, too! Atone for your sins!"

Hidan cursed, then went straight after the kid.

But unexpectedly, the child, although not very big, was incredibly fast. He ran several miles away, waving the white cloth in his hand, which made Feiduan even more angry.

Hidan never imagined that children generally couldn't run that fast.

Just as Feiduan was chasing for a long distance, he suddenly heard a noise behind him and Xia Mu slapped him on the shoulder.

"Who are you?"

As soon as the last word fell, the person felt dizzy and found himself in an unfamiliar place.

Feidan immediately realized that it was an enemy and subconsciously swung the March Scythe, but he missed because Xia Mu had disappeared.

While Feiduan was still in a daze, a group of insects buzzed around him, covering him in an instant and biting him until he screamed, but he didn't show any sign of losing his strength.

Shino, who was hiding in the dark, shook his head: "This guy's power doesn't seem to be chakra! My bugs can't absorb it!"

"In that case, then attack!"

Sasuke spoke, but the next second he was already in front of Feidan, and the short knife went straight to Feidan's head.

But Feiduan was no pushover either. He swung the March Scythe in his hand at such a fast speed that Sasuke had to duck. Feiduan suddenly pulled out an iron spear from his waist with his other hand and lashed it towards Sasuke. Sasuke hurriedly blocked it with his short knife, but was bounced out by the huge force and slid on the ground for a long distance before stopping.

"Tsk! This guy is very fast and very strong!" Sasuke felt his hand a little numb.

Shino and Neji also appeared and surrounded Hidan on three sides.

Feidan, carrying the March Scythe, excitedly said, "So you deliberately wrote down words that blasphemed the Evil God just to lure me here. You little brats, I don't mind sacrificing you to the Evil God! Come and die!"

Sasuke didn't bother to talk nonsense and rushed forward again, aiming straight at the enemy's head with his short sword.

However, as the saying goes, an inch longer is an inch stronger. Feidan's three-witch sickle is too long, and coupled with his excellent physical skills, he seems to be able to handle Sasuke's attacks with ease.

Seeing this, Neji and Shino also took out their kunai and rushed forward, but they were unable to get close to Hidan.

According to the original plan, Shino was going to end the fight with a sneak attack using a swarm of insects, but he didn't expect that the opponent had almost no chakra, or that the opponent's power did not come from chakra, so Shino's attack was naturally ineffective.

Fortunately, Shikamaru had considered this situation, so no one was surprised.

After a fight between the four, Feiduan unexpectedly gained the upper hand, and Sasuke was even almost scratched by the March Scythe.
