The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

Road.

"Ok?"

Soji was also stunned. He didn't expect that Kakuzu would mistake him for a ninja from the Mist and Snow clan because he used Ice Release.

It's no wonder that Kakuzu misunderstood, because the only famous ninja clan in the entire ninja world who uses Ice Release Bloodline Genkai is the Snow Clan of the Kirigakure.

As for the other ninjas, with Kakuzu's many years of experience, he had never heard of it.

Therefore, everyone in the ninja world will subconsciously think of the Snow Clan of the Hidden Mist when they see the Ice Release Bloodline.

Just like seeing the Sharingan and the Byakugan, other people will also recognize that the other person is from the Uchiha and Hyuga clans.

This is also the reason why Souji wears the ice mask, the Hyuga clan's Byakugan is too obvious.

As for Kakuzu's misunderstanding, Souji did not explain it. This was actually good news for him, as it allowed him to hide the good news.

I guess no one would have thought that under Cang Si's ice mask there would be a Hyuga clan member using ice escape ninjutsu.

"Just take it as it is." Cang Si answered vaguely.

This vague answer actually confirmed Kakuzu's guess.

"Ice Release Bloodline, I didn't expect that I would have such a perfect heart collection today." Kakuzu said this happily.

For so many years, as an S-rank rebel ninja of Takigakure Village, Kakuzu never had the opportunity to obtain the heart of the bloodline limit.

It's really not easy to meet a lone bloodline ninja today.

"You can try it!" Seeing Kakuzu looking at his prey, Cang Si was also very unhappy and wanted to teach him a lesson.

As for why he didn't choose to kill Kakuzu, it was because Souji was not sure about it. Even if he exposed his identity as a Hyuga clan and used his Gentle Fist and Byakugan, it would be the same.

It is really difficult to unleash the full power of the Gentle Fist against a ninja like Kakuzu.

Since there was no point in talking, Cang Si continued his offensive.

"Ice Escape - Extreme Cold Stab!"

Under Kakuzu's feet, icicles suddenly appeared one after another.

"puff"

No matter how hard Kakuzu tried to move left and right, his body was still cut by several ice spikes.

"Thunder Release-Pseudo Darkness!"

The injured Kakuzu did not sit there and wait for death, but chose to fight back.

A masked mouth behind Kakuzu fired a sharp spear of lightning, which approached Soji from far away, and the rocks on the ground along the way were pierced by the lightning.

"Ice Release - Ice Crystal Wall!"

Faced with the fierce lightning spear, Cang Si did not dare to be careless at all and directly released an ice escape defensive ninjutsu.

Before the lightning spear reached Cang Si, a huge ice wall appeared out of thin air.

The lightning spear only knocked off a piece of ice from the ice wall before it ran out of power.

From here, we can see how much the blood-related ninjutsu suppresses the ordinary five-element ninjutsu.

When the power gap between the two sides is not big, Cang Si's ice escape can suppress most of the five elements ninjutsu.

And the stronger Cangsi's ice escape became, the hotter Kakuzu's eyes became.

"Mine, your heart and ice escape are all mine." Kakuzu was already starting to get a little crazy.

Looking at Kakuzu in this state, Souji frowned and prepared to end the battle quickly.

"Ice Escape - Ice Spear!"

This time, Cang Si not only condensed one ice spear, but condensed 9 at once!

Holding one of them, the other ice spears shot towards Kakuzu like sharp arrows.

Eight ice spears blocked all space for Kakuzu to escape from different angles.

This was also the first time that Kakuzu felt his life was threatened in this battle.

The Ice Release - Ice Spear used by Cang Si, the power of a single spear can be said to be second only to the Ice Release - Ice Dragon Fang among the Ice Release Ninjutsu currently mastered.

Now eight ice spears have locked onto the horns, and its power is even greater than that of Ice Escape - Ice Dragon Fang.

"Earth's Wrath - Final Shot!"

Kakuzu didn't even want to use the ordinary dual-attribute compound ninjutsu, and directly used his most powerful three-attribute compound ninjutsu.

According to Kakuzu's observation, the dual-attribute composite ninjutsu

It should not be able to stop the eight ice spears in front of it.

After all, Bloodline Limit is the fusion of two attributes of chakra. No matter how powerful the dual-attribute compound ninjutsu is, it is not as powerful as Bloodline Limit!

This move, Earth Grudge - Ultimate Shooting, is Kakuzu's most powerful ninjutsu that combines the chakra of the three attributes of wind, fire, and lightning!

Kakutsu gathered three of the masks on his right arm, and after a little bit of energy, a terrifying sky blue chakra wave formed in his hand.

Then, he fired a terrifying chakra cannon directly at the eight ice spears released by Cang Si.

The eight ice spears first slowly shattered under the chakra cannon, and then evaporated into a wisp of green smoke that drifted in the air.

Although the power of this chakra cannon had been weakened by the ice spear, it still continued to rush towards Cang Si.

Faced with this attack, every hair on Cang Si's body stood up.

"The compound ninjutsu of three attributes is actually more powerful than my Ice Release Bloodline." Cang Si was filled with shock.

This can be said to be the first time he has suffered a defeat in this battle.

But Cang Si reacted quickly and continued to form hand seals and perform ninjutsu.

"Ice Release - Ice Crystal Wall!"

This time, Cang Si used a large amount of chakra in his body, and the ice no longer formed a wall, but a semicircle, surrounding Cang Si completely.

"Squeak, snap, snap"

After shattering the ice spear, the chakra cannon came into close contact with the ice crystal wall.

At the same time, Soji and Kakuzu increased each other's chakra.

Whenever cracks appear on the ice crystal wall, there will be a steady stream of chakra to repair it.

Whenever the chakra cannon is about to weaken, chakra will be replenished continuously.

The two of them started a tug-of-war, neither of them wanted to give in and neither of them wanted to admit defeat.

Finally, the two seemed to be unable to hold on any longer, and there was a loud "bang".

Soji's ice crystal wall shattered, and Kakuzu's chakra cannon also stopped.

The violent shock wave generated pushed both of them backwards, and they hit the rocks behind them.

"Ahem", "Hmm"

Both of them seemed to cough up blood, but they swallowed it down.

When Kakuzu was almost exhausted and had not yet regained strength, Cang Si resisted the urge to vomit blood and approached Kakuzu with the icy spear in hand.

The ice spear held in his right hand stabbed directly at the three masks stacked on Kakuzu's right hand.

"Click"

With a sound, the first mask shattered.

"Click"

The second sound, another mask shattered.

Just as Soji was about to put more effort into piercing Kakuzu's third mask, Kakuzu finally came to his senses.

"Earth Release-Earth Spear!"

Kakuzu's hardened left hand directly grasped the icy spear that continued to thrust forward.

At the same time, taking advantage of this gap, he let the remaining wind-attribute mask leave his right hand and fly back to his left shoulder.

"Secret Technique - Earth's Grudge!"

Now Cang Si’s old strength has been exhausted and new strength has not yet been generated.

Countless black threads emerging from various parts of Kakuzu's body gathered into a ball and smashed directly towards Cangsi's chest.

Cang Si had no choice but to let go of the right hand that was holding the ice spear, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and endured the powerful blow.

Then the whole person was knocked back to the previous position.

"boom"

The rock behind Cang Si couldn't withstand the huge force and broke into pieces all over the ground.

After receiving this blow, Cang Si could no longer suppress the blood clots in his body and he vomited them out.

Unfortunately, it was blocked by the ice mask, and one could only see that the mouth of the ice mask was already blood red.

Chapter 77 I once fought against the First Hokage

Cang Si, who was half-kneeling on the ground, did not feel sad at all. On the contrary, he was very happy at the moment.

Ever since the four members of the team joined forces to fight Jiraiya, Souji learned the principle of keeping something in reserve.

Isn’t the effect shown?

At the cost of suffering some minor injuries himself, Souji directly destroyed Kakuzu's two masks.

You could say that Kakuzu was killed twice!

Originally, he wanted to destroy the other mask on Kakuzu's right hand, but unfortunately the other party reacted.

Yes, after being hit by Kakuzu's Yu Yuan secret technique, the scene was shocking.

It shattered rocks and vomited blood.

That's because when Souji was attacked by Kakuzu, he took the opportunity to use the soft fist force-releasing technique to transfer part of the impact force to the rock behind him.

That's why the rock shattered so thoroughly.

"Damn it, you guy!" Jiao Du was amazed to see that Cang Si had destroyed his two hearts and was able to stand up from the ground so easily after being hit by him.

In fact, what shocked Kakuzu even more was that Souji didn't attack his own body, but chose to break the mask.

"This man named Jin knows my secret!" This was the first thought that came to Kakuzu's mind after Cangsi broke both of his hearts.

This also caused Kakuzu to panic, and he wanted to kill Souji even more.

The nearly immortal body that Di Yuyuan gave Kakuzu can be said to be the thing that Kakuzu himself is most proud of.

Now the Ice-style ninja in front of him, who was suspected to be from the Snow Clan, actually knew his weaknesses. If he continued to fight, he might not be able to get any good results.

After all, he had seen Cang Si's strength and it was definitely not that easy to kill him.

At this moment, Kakuzu already had the idea of ​​retreating.

Even if he really wanted to kill the ninja in front of him, he would have to wait until he got two suitable hearts.

However, even if he lost the battle, Kakuzu would not choose to retreat directly. He had to continue to observe the situation first.

Just now, one of Kakuzu and the other of Soji was attacking and the other was defending. It can be said that both of them have used up most of the chakra in their bodies. Now it depends on who will give up first.

"I have traveled all over the ninja world and have fought against the first Hokage. Boy, you are one of the few people who can make me suffer a great loss." Kakuzu said to Souji with appreciation.

The tone was clearly that of an elder speaking to a younger generation.

"Huh? Have you fought against the First Hokage? You didn't throw a shuriken at the First Hokage from eight hundred miles away?" Cang Si said with a disdainful sneer.

This was also a famous joke in the previous life.

As early as the beginning of the establishment of the Ninja Village, Kakuzu, who was a member of the Anbu of Takigakure Village, once received a mission to assassinate the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

As a result, he was knocked down by the First Hokage with a Wood Release, but perhaps the First Hokage had other things to deal with, so he didn't pay much attention to Kakuzu and left.

After returning to Takigakure Village, Kakuzu failed in his mission and was directly punished by the village's top leaders.

In the end, Kakuzu was so angry that he stole the secret treasure of Takigakure Village and slaughtered all the high-ranking officials of Takigakure Village.

However, the failure of the mission was a lifelong shame for Kakuzu!
