The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

However, by now, Kakuzu's mentality had changed.

The first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, is revered as the God of Ninja in the Ninja world!

Kakuzu felt proud enough to be able to fight against the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and survive.

After all, that was not someone else, that was the God of Ninja!

Who in the ninja world dares to say that he can kill the first Hokage?

Even Uchiha Madara, the Shura of the Ninja World, couldn't do it, let alone others.

Not to mention that Kakuzu himself thinks so, even if it gets out, other people in the entire ninja world will only think that Kakuzu is strong enough!

Just like Orochimaru, Jiraiya and Tsunade, who are now called the Three Ninjas of Konoha by Hanzo of the Salamander.

The three people who were defeated by the Salamander Hanzo who was called a demigod were not looked down upon by the ninja world. Instead, they were called the legendary Three Ninjas!

These two things said

It's the same principle.

Upon hearing Souji's comments about him, Kakuzu exploded in anger once again.

"Boy, you will pay for what you said!" Kakuzu said with a sinister look on his face.

Kakuzu now regards the fact that he had fought against the first Hokage as his greatest boast.

Now if someone dares to doubt him, no matter who it is, Kakuzu will fight with the other party again to prove whether he has the ability.

"Is it wrong to tell the truth these days?" Cang Si couldn't help but complain in his heart.

It’s not that Souji looked down on Kakuzu. Although he had never seen the full strength of the First Hokage in his life, he really didn’t think that Kakuzu could withstand a single move from the First Hokage without letting him go.

So if I spit at Kaguya Otsutsuki in the future, does it mean that I have also fought with Kaguya Otsutsuki?

Although if you are not strong enough, there is a high probability that you will be crushed to ashes by the opponent.

Next, Souji and Kakuzu continued to fight.

However, they no longer used any large-scale ninjutsu, and all the battles were conducted with physical skills and ninja tools.

I kick you first, and then you punch me back.

Although the confrontation seemed fierce, both of them actually planned to stop.

Both of them have the strength of Kage, and their speed and strength are also good.

It should be said that the gap is not that big.

Of course, Cang Si has not yet used his Byakugan and Gentle Fist.

If he used his gentle fist, Souji was confident that he could quickly defeat Kakuzu, who now had very little chakra left.

But, what's the point?

Killing Kakuzu wouldn't do Souji any good.

Souji himself is a person who will not do anything without benefits. The reason why he fought with Kakuzu for such a long time was that he was familiarizing himself with his Kage-level strength and ice escape ninjutsu.

It really hasn't come to the point of life and death.

Even if Souji used his gentle fist now, he might be able to break one or two of Kakuzu's hearts, but Kakuzu would definitely run away by then.

He had a mortal feud with an invincible Kage-level warrior, and the other party knew that he was from the Hyuga clan of Konoha.

The threat that Cang Si has to face is huge.

When Kakuzu joins Akatsuki, he will definitely be noticed by Nagato and Obito who have not yet turned evil!

As the two men were fighting, Souji grabbed Kakuzu's right fist with both hands, turned his body 360 degrees, and then threw the opponent out.

"Tap Tap"

Not until he was thrown more than ten meters away did Kakuzu manage to relieve the force by stomping on the ground continuously.

In the battle of physical skills, when Cang Si did not use his gentle fist, the two could be said to be evenly matched.

He couldn't help but shake his hands, and didn't choose to attack again.

"It seems that I can't get your heart this time." Kakuzu thought of retreating again.

Cang Si has fought enough and is almost familiar with his own strength.

Such a fierce fight between the two will definitely attract a lot of people's attention.

Especially the Anbu and Root of Konoha, they can be said to be everywhere in the entire Land of Fire.

It is estimated that by now members of the Anbu and Root have already passed on the information about two Kage-level ninjas fighting in the eastern coastal area of ​​the Land of Fire to the Third Hokage and Danzo.

At that time, the two unidentified people might have to face the encirclement and suppression of the entire Konoha Village.

Cang Si doesn't have this masochistic habit.

Therefore, stopping now is the best option for both parties.

"We don't have much conflict, right? If I'm not mistaken, your target should be the researchers in that institute, and my target is those instruments. How about we not interfere with each other?" Cang Si put forward his suggestion.

"Okay, but only this time. Next time we meet, I'll want your heart again. I'll keep it in your body for now." Kakuzu agreed after a moment's thought.

Although Kakuzu himself has a bad temper, he is not a fool.

The last ninjutsu between the two had a direct impact on an area within a thousand miles.

The entire battlefield was filled with chakras of various attributes and broken ice.

One can tell at a glance that a great battle had just taken place here.

I think that apart from ninjas above the level of Kage, there are not many other people who can cause such destructive power.

This will also increase Kakuzu's own hunting activities in the Fire Nation.

"Haha, if you have that ability, come on. I hope you won't leave two masks behind next time." Cang Si responded without any fear.

"Humph"

Finally, after looking at each other fiercely, they both ran towards the research institute.

Kakuzu was just glaring at Soji. Soji was wearing an ice mask, so Kakuzu couldn't tell the expression of the ninja in front of him who was suspected to be from the Snow Clan.

The two people who left one after the other didn't even have time to clean up the battlefield.

After all, with such a big commotion, there is really no time left. If we delay any further, we will face pursuit from the Konoha officials.

The one who took the lead was Kakuzu, with Souji lagging far behind.

Although the two of them verbally agreed to reconcile, who knows if the other party will take the opportunity to backstab them.

I don’t know how I will die by then.

You know what, Kakuzu actually had this plan originally.

After all, the heart of an Ice Release Bloodline Ninja was placed in front of him, but he could only look at it but not take it. That feeling must be very uncomfortable.

I believe that as long as I can get the heart of the person in front of me, my strength will be greatly improved compared to before.

Unfortunately, Cang Si would never give him this opportunity from beginning to end.

It wasn't because he expected the other party to launch a sneak attack, but because Cang Si kept in mind a saying, that is, you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must always be on guard against others.

Seeing that there was no chance to launch a sneak attack on the opponent, Kakuzu no longer controlled his own speed and flew some distance in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the other party was speeding up, Cang Si also sped up.

In this way, the two sides returned to the research institute at a leisurely distance.

Souji took out a scroll and collected the various instruments, while Kakuzu was also sealing the corpses into the scroll.

Not only is the director of this institute on the black market's wanted list, most of the researchers here also have wanted bounties.

It’s just that this bounty is not as high as that of Director Shiratoriba.

The two of them kept a distance from each other, and then each of them did their own thing.

If someone who doesn’t know them suddenly sees them, they might think they are good friends.

I would never have thought that the two sides were fighting desperately just now.

Kakuzu had finished cleaning up the bodies before Souji, but seeing that Souji was wary of him from afar, he chose not to continue.

Cang Si was not slow either. After Kakuzu stared at him eagerly for three or five minutes, he had packed up all the equipment.

Cang Si could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

This time, my purpose of leaving Konoha can be said to have been accomplished.

It can even be said that he exceeded the target. Not only did he not pay a penny, he also fought against a shadow-level strongman and became familiar with his own strength.

Souji was also thankful that Kakuzu didn't seem to know the price of these instruments.

It can be said that the price of any instrument here will not be lower than the wanted amount of the director of this research institute, Shiratori Yui.

Just now, Cang Si was really afraid that after Kakuzu cleaned up the bodies, he would use a ninjutsu to destroy all the remaining equipment here.

Then Cang Si would definitely not be able to help but rush forward and fight with Kakuzu.

Until Souji finished packing up the last instrument, Kakuzu didn't find a chance to attack.

In the end, he could only look at Cang Si unwillingly and quickly left the place.

Before leaving, he said something cruel: "Jin, I will remember you. I hope you won't fall into my hands in the future."

Then he left without looking back.

Chapter 78 Analysis of Konoha

"Phew, luckily the vest was covered tightly, otherwise it would be troublesome in the future." After watching Kakuzu leave, Cang Si patted his chest in relief.

"No, I have to run away quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome if I encounter the Anbu and the Root. It will be a problem whether to fight or not."

Thinking this in his mind, Cang Si did not slow down and ran directly towards the direction of Konoha Village.

As for the ordinary B-level mission that Cang Si took when he left the village, which was to protect a merchant who lived in a town in the Fire Country and return home, Cang Si went directly using his shadow clone.

On the way, he encountered several bandits and ordinary wandering ninjas, but Cang Si easily dealt with them all with his shadow clone.

Now, ordinary D-level to B-level tasks are not challenging at all for Cang Si.

Only A-level and S-level may require Cang Si to do it himself.

Less than ten minutes after Souji left the research institute, a team of Anbu arrived at the place where Souji and Kakuzu fought.

"What a powerful chakra collision. The two people fighting are definitely above elite jonin, or even Kage." The Anbu captain wearing a fox mask judged.

"There are traces of various attributes of ninjutsu everywhere, and is this ice escape?" Another member of the Anbu team returned to the captain after searching the battlefield to report.

"There are no corpses near the battlefield. It seems that both parties in the fight left alive." Another member of the Anbu team came back and reported the results of the on-site investigation.

"Can you track the direction the two people left?" After listening to the reports of his two subordinates, the Anbu captain turned to ask the remaining Anbu member.

"I'm sorry, that can't be done, Captain. The powerful ninjutsu they used directly destroyed the nearby terrain." The last Anbu member replied, shaking his head.

"Okay, I know everything. One of you goes to the nearby black market to get some information, and the others follow me back to Konoha to report to the Hokage."

"Yes! Captain."

Then one of them went to the nearby black market, and the remaining three returned to Konoha together.

After this group of Anbu team left, another group came.

This team was dressed similarly to the Anbu just now, except that they looked more indifferent.

If Souji was here, he would definitely be able to determine that the first team should be the Anbu under the Hokage, and the second team should be the Root under Danzo.

Mainly because their temperaments are too obvious.

There were waves of emotion in the words of the Anbu members, but when the Root members spoke, they sounded like robots reporting on their work.

These Root members then did the same thing as the Anbu.

After the Anbu and Root left, several more groups came, but it was still unclear who was fighting here.

None of this has anything to do with Cang Si. He is confident that the traces left at the scene will not make people associate him with them.

In order to hide himself, Cang Si did not reveal any information related to the Hyuga clan throughout the process.

Less than half an hour after Cang Si came back and submitted the task.
