Chapter 441 Kakashi is in danger!
After all, Kakuzu was an old ninja who had lived for decades. No matter how confident he was, he still had to be cautious. Indeed, he did not anticipate Kakashi's Inner Four Symbols Sealing Technique, nor did he avoid it.
But that was just one of his hearts. It had already disintegrated on the way here. Apart from the most important heart that he had secretly preserved, he still had four hearts on his body.
That is four lives. Generally speaking, no matter who the opponent is, Jiaodu will usually send out one or two hearts, and keep the rest behind as a backup.
Originally, Kakuzu's fighting habits were not so cowardly. Even when he figured out a way to preserve the heart in a different place, all he did was store one heart separately.
It's not like now, where I subconsciously hold back in every fight.
In fact, this is still closely related to Shiro, the "butterfly". When Shiro and Orochimaru teamed up to fight against the Immortal Duo, the high combat power they demonstrated made Kakuzu deeply aware of it.
Even in this era, there are many people who can kill him. The fact that two young rookies can push him to that point makes Kakuzu start to think.
In the end, he changed his fighting style, and the little bit of pride that was originally born from improving the already powerful Earth Grudge disappeared in an instant.
Even if I don't die, what's the point? I can't make money properly when I'm weak and have only one heart left. What's the point of living like this if I can't make money?
However, it was precisely because of this good fighting habit that he was able to escape danger. Although the performance of the Four Symbols Sealing Technique was not very good, its power was real.
"Little devil, you're quite capable"
After the tentacles reunited, a hint of anger flashed in Kakuzu's eyes. Of course, it was not directed at Kakashi. He was not that petty.
This anger was directed at himself. He actually thought he was in control just because his opponent was a little kid. He had been a bit arrogant recently, even making such a low-level mistake.
Glancing at Umekawa who was still in a daze, Kakuzu tore off the remaining Akatsuki robe from his body, ignored the lunatic, and focused all his efforts on dealing with the brat who had caused him to lose a heart!
"Hatake Kakashi, right? I'll remember you. Thank you for bringing me back to my senses. As a reward, I'll let you die painlessly!"
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, Kakashi in the dark held a kunai and flew out from the top of an earth pillar!
"Earth Escape: Earth Spear!"
"Pah~"
Kakashi, who had blocked Tsuchiryu's spear, was attracted by the water stains under his feet before he could recover. When he thought of the seal that Kakuzu had made that he had just seen in the air, his pupils constricted.
Fingers suddenly hooked from his sleeves, quickly wrapped a steel wire around the kunai, and then shot it into the ground. The next moment...
"Thunder Style: Thunder Ball Technique!"
“Sizzle!”
A strong electric current instantly rushed up Kakashi's body along the water flow. Although part of it was guided away by the steel wire shot into the ground in time, it only weakened the electric current.
He is not as basically invulnerable as Kakuzu. After all, Kakuzu had previously formed a wind seal to weaken him twice, which is different from his "naked" state.
Therefore, even though Kakashi had undergone Lightning Release training to strengthen his body, he was still seriously injured by the strong electric current, and this was only Kakuzu's first move.
As Kakashi became stiff due to the Lightning Release, a large monster with a ghost-like mask and a yellow nose on its head flew over Kakashi!
There are also extremely obscure lightning chakra fluctuations hidden in its mouth!
"Lightning Release: Pseudo Darkness!"
In an instant, a lightning spear with astonishing power flew out from the mask's mouth and headed straight for Kakashi!
Faced with this terrifyingly powerful lightning, Kakashi, whose body was still paralyzed, was unable to react at all. He could only watch the lightning approach, a hint of despair in his eyes.
"Bang!"
At this moment, a red shadow suddenly appeared and blocked the lightning!
"Umekawa! Do you really think I can't kill you?! Huh!?" After seeing clearly the thing that blocked the pseudo-darkness, Kakuzu tilted his head and looked at Umekawa with a dangerous message in his green eyes.
"Don't be nervous, Lord Kakuzu. I just have a request." After saying this, Umekawa ignored the lightning that was being drawn to him and took a step forward calmly.
He raised his left hand to Kakuzu's chest and pulled it slightly, pulling back the bloody March sickle connected by the wire. At the same time, he said with a fanatical expression:
"I think, kill."
“Puff!”
Before Umekawa could finish his words, he was interrupted by the piercing sound. Kakuzu, who was the source of the sound, silently lowered his head to look at the March sickle blade that pierced his abdomen, and quickly completed the basic seal of Fire Style.
"Fire Style: Head Hardship!"
"boom!"
Before Umekawa could explain, he was blasted away by Kakuzu.
"You little bastard, if you want to die, I can help you!"
Looking at Kakuzu's sinister expression, Umekawa smirked and climbed up from the ground, apologizing non-stop: "Kakuzu-sama, this is all a misunderstanding. I'll explain it to you later. You should fence this off first. The boy will recover soon."
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Kakuzu glanced at Kakashi, who had just recovered from paralysis and was about to leave, and his eyes moved.
"Swish~Swish~Swish~Swish~Swish~Swish~"
An endless stream of tentacles emerged from the ground and surrounded the place, leaving Kakashi with no chance of escape, or at least he himself could not leave.
Of course, this level of moves consumes a lot of energy. At this time, Kakuzu, who has used a large number of tentacles, has lost most of his combat effectiveness and has become a turret with weak mobility.
This shows that he actually trusts Meichuan. Although he often says that he is a psychopath, he is actually quite satisfied with this teammate.
Moreover, Touki didn't use his full strength just now. He just made a basic seal and infused not much chakra. The original fire tsunami was now just a small wave at most.
This is all because of the love between them... Ugh~friendship!
On the other side, Kakashi, who was about to evacuate, looked at the tentacles surrounding him and stopped helplessly. He drew out a dagger from his back and a kunai in his other hand, ready to attack.
Although he didn't know why the two people who were fighting desperately (piercing the abdomen and using high-level fire escape) surrounded him in the blink of an eye, he couldn't give up and had to go on.
"Okay, I've trapped you. If you don't tell me why you interrupted me..." Kakuzu's eyes grew serious as he spoke, "Be careful or I'll really kill you!"
"Hehe, Lord Kakuzu, don't be angry. I have something important to do this time." Facing Kakuzu's threat, Umekawa was not afraid at all. He had been used to it after working together for so long.
With a "crash", he pulled back the March Scythe that had fallen from Kakuzu's abdomen due to the tentacle being pulled away, grabbed it in his hand, and looked at Kakashi who was on high alert with an evil smile.
"I just received a revelation from the Evil God. Sacrificing this guy will make the Evil God very happy! Hey, hahahaha~ Everything is for the Evil God Sama! So, kid, just accept your fate!"
After saying that, before the broken smile on his face faded, he threw the March sickle in his hand and started the battle!
“Ding! Ding ding ding ding ding!!!”
Following the first crisp collision sound, the two of them seemed to have turned on the accelerator, dancing their weapons rapidly and colliding continuously, which was extremely intense!
The bloody red, the cold white, and the yellow sparks mixed in between showed the fierceness of the battle between the two, but this wonderful battle did not attract Kakuzu's attention.
Most of his thoughts at this moment were still on what Meichuan had just said, his strange daze, the evil god's instructions, and the action of directly interrupting his battle.
Coupled with the fact that Umekawa had become strangely stronger after each evil god ritual, Kakuzu began to doubt whether this evil god really existed...
"Hey, Meichuan, why would your evil god be happy about sacrificing this guy? Is there something special about this kid?"
Jiaotu is not a patient person. Since he can't figure it out, he will just ask directly. Anyway, it won't affect Meichuan's battle, at least not...
"have no idea!"
"clang!"
Umekawa simply replied before throwing himself back into the fight, Kakashi's threat was even greater than Kakuzu had imagined, especially with his taijutsu!
"You don't know? Then why are you working so hard?"
Kakuzu seemed to be completely unconcerned about Umekawa's safety and kept asking questions. Of course, he really didn't care. At most, he would be stabbed a few times, but he wouldn't die anyway.
"Because... this is..."
“Ding~ding~”
"The instructions from the evil god... Sama..."
"Then why emphasize this guy?" Commentator No. 2 Jiaodu asked again without paying attention to Meichuan's fight.
"Hahaha~ I don't know the details... haha~ I just know that this guy, hey~ ha~ seems to be very important to the future!"
“Puff!”
Finally, due to the interference of commentator No. 2, Umekawa, who was originally fighting on equal terms with Kakashi, was directly cut in the chest by the dagger, and a lot of blood spurted out!
However, this creepy scene did not affect Umekawa's fighting ability. He still fought with Kakashi with great enthusiasm. After all, he was immortal, so this was just a minor injury!
On the other hand, Kakashi was in a bad situation. He was already powerless facing the immortal duo, and after actually witnessing Umekawa's immortality, he felt even more powerless.
Of course, even though he was powerless, he didn't just stand there and watch. He quickly mobilized his mental strength and constantly squeezed his body, just to refine more chakra and delay the time to wait for Minato's arrival.
He has no other choice now. With his current strength, he will die if he goes against the duo recklessly. Although he doesn't know why the other party doesn't attack together, it's useless to think about it now. Anyway, delaying time is beneficial to him, right?
On the other side, after surrounding the surroundings and performing perception ninjutsu, Kakuzu watched the battle in the field leisurely while quietly thinking about what Umekawa had just said.
The evil god took the name of a god, so this future shouldn't be a human name... So, could it be that gods really exist?
Kakuzu narrowed his green eyes, quietly pondering this somewhat unfamiliar... world!
And tens of kilometers in the sky, which Kakuzu could not perceive, an eagle with blue eyes was circling here, transmitting everything here to another battlefield...
． ． ． ． ．
"The future? Influence? And... the evil god? These are quite interesting. How about it? Are you interested? Heaven's Chain..."
"Soso~"
The only response to Shilang was the regular rhythm of the Heavenly Chain around him. After all, with the level of self-discipline of the Heavenly Chain, it was impossible for him to understand such a thing.
However, Shiro only said this casually. After asking, he put down his right hand that was performing periodic transformations on his body with his upper body naked.
After putting it down, he habitually glanced at the unchanged attribute panel, habitually sighed, habitually stood up, and then, habitually began to think about this transformation plan, and... Kakashi.
Shiro has been working on this transformation plan for a long time and has done a lot of human experiments. Therefore, although there has been no progress for a long time, he is not in a hurry at all. He just needs to finish this thing before that battle.
The most important thing now is Kakashi. Unlike Minato and Orochimaru, he does not have super high mobility in the ninja world with the help of Flying Thunder God and Eternal Snake.
Therefore, he had basically no way to deal with Kakashi's situation. The eagle that sent back the information only had a pair of not very powerful transplanted magic eyes, and the contractor was not him. This was the most helpless thing.
With this level of strength, he is not even qualified to be a sparring partner for the Immortal Duo. Therefore, Kakashi's last hope of escape actually lies in Minato.
Through the information sent back by Demon Eye Eagle No. 1 (Shiro's personal name), Shiro has roughly understood the situation on the battlefield.
Kakuzu won't just watch the fight all the time. Once he recovers some chakra, he will definitely join the battle!
After all, it is not very far from the battlefield of the Land of Lightning, and apart from this threat, the Umekawa Ritual requires what happens after the Death Master's blood is unleashed, rather than the preliminary preparations.
Therefore, considering all factors, it is inevitable that Kakuzu will participate in the battle!
And at that time... Kakashi could die at any time!
Now Shiro is no longer worried that the plot will go out of control because of Kakashi’s death. After all, the plot has already gone out of control, and no matter what impact he has on the plot, it has nothing to do with Shiro.
But putting all that aside, Kakashi is still Sakumo's only son, and as Sakumo's disciple, it is impossible for him to ignore Kakashi...
After thinking for a while, Shilang made a seal.
"Senior Orochimaru, I have a favor to ask of you."
“Sizzle~”
Along with the special chakra fluctuations, a piece of information was transmitted into the "Orochimaru Network", causing Orochimaru, who was studying the intelligence in the distance, to raise his head.
"Shiro-kun? What do you want from me?"
"It's nothing good, I just want to ask Senior Orochimaru for a favor. My junior brother Kakashi had an accident on the battlefield in the Land of Lightning, and I want to ask Senior Orochimaru to help him out. His opponent is the Undead Duo of Akatsuki."
"Akatsuki? What a coincidence, but I'm sorry to disappoint Shirou-kun. I only have a weaker clone over there. It can't deal with the Undead Duo, so I probably can't help you."
"It's okay, there's no need to rescue them completely, just buy them some time. The battle over there with Minato is almost over, he'll go there."
"Delay until Minato-kun arrives? That should be possible... That's it, I'll take action over there."
"Well, thank you, Orochimaru-senpai."
"You're too polite, Silangjun. There's no need for us to discuss this. By the way, how are you preparing for that plan?"
"The plan..." Shiro felt the substance gradually forming in his body, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "It's almost done. How are you?"
"It's almost time... I've prepared a lot of gifts for him~ Slurp~ (licks tongue)"
I have finished watching Love Apartment, so I will probably have more time later.
