Chapter 143 The Tactics of Immortality
"Let's split up!"
Sarutobi Asuma said, "Kakashi and I will stay here. Kurenai and Guy, you guys go to Akali's side!"
“Okay!” Might Guy and Kurenai Yuhi nodded in succession.
Asma's arrangement was very reasonable.
Although Kurenai's genjutsu is slightly weaker than Itachi Uchiha's, Akali's presence can be considered to make up for the difference in combat power.
Immediately, Might Guy and Kurenai were about to teleport away.
But how could Kakuzu possibly let them go?
The changes in Konoha this time are too great. Not to mention the return of Tobirama Senju, it is said that Hashirama Senju is also here.
Kakuzu has always boasted that he challenged the first Hokage, but while he might fool his brothers, he can't fool himself.
The power of a god among mortals is unknown to the ninjas of the new era. Does he not know it yet?
Let's put it this way: in Kakuzu's judgment, even if their unpredictable leader were to fight the First Hokage, it would be a 60/40 split at best, and that would be Hashirama Senju's 60/40 split.
So when Pain said he would send someone to test Konoha, Kakuzu immediately agreed wholeheartedly. This also successfully turned the testing team, which consisted of only Itachi and Kisame, into a four-person team including Itachi, Kisame, Kakuzu, and Hidan.
In order to better understand Konoha's strength, these Konoha Jonin certainly cannot leave right now!
Kakuzu immediately attacked, and he went all out!
Two masks climbed onto the shoulders, their mouths painted with fiery red and green, and then they opened their mouths.
"Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"
"Fire Escape·Tou Ke Ku!"
A high-pressure windball, brimming with destructive power, and a blazing white fireball flew out together.
After flying a short distance, the head of the car fell to the ground, bursting into a raging sea of fire, and the pressure followed closely behind, disappearing into it.
Immediately, just like a ramjet engine being injected with new fuel, the raging sea of fire turned into a wave, the high temperature distorted the air, and a rolling heat wave rushed towards us!
Kakashi and the other three looked grave as they looked at this combined wind and fire ninjutsu.
To help Might Guy and Kurenai, who were not good at ninjutsu, Kakashi and Asuma stepped forward and formed hand seals together.
"Earth Release: Earth Flow... What?!"
The two people who were forming hand seals stopped moving.
At that moment, a series of long black threads, of unknown origin, burst forth from the ground in front of them, binding their hands and feet!
Clearly, this was Kakuzu's secret weapon, which escaped Kakashi and Asuma's senses by taking advantage of the raging fire and hiding underground in the scorching heat of the flames.
Kakashi and Asuma suddenly realized.
Only then did I realize it, but it was too late.
In a battle between masters, even a moment's pause can be fatal!
In just a moment, the raging sea of fire engulfed Kakashi and his companions.
"You succeeded?" Looking at the area completely engulfed in flames, Hidan's eyes widened in surprise. "Is this all the Jonin Konoha has to offer? I was planning a grand ceremony for Lord Jashin!"
“Didn’t succeed!” Kakuzu shook his head, and the Earth Grudge that had burrowed into the ground slowly retracted.
From the broken part of the Earth Grudge, very obvious signs of violent pulling can be seen!
Clearly, at the last moment, someone intervened and broke the Earth Grudge's restraints!
As he spoke, Kakuzu turned his head and looked to the side.
There, Might Guy, his body radiating green chakra flames, slowly lowered Asuma and Kakashi.
Clearly, it was Matt Kay who helped the two escape at the last moment!
"Tsk, a taijutsu ninja? I'm not particularly interested in your heart!" Kakuzu said sinisterly.
However, Might Guy has always ignored provocations.
He looked at the two people he had put down: "Are you alright?"
"It's alright, Guy, your rescue was very timely!" Kakashi said to Asuma.
“But this person…” The group looked at Kakuzu again.
To be honest, Kakuzu, who has revealed the Earth Grudge Fear pattern, is really hard to understand as a human!
On his shoulders were thick black lines forming a wind and fire mask, and at the wrists and ankles of his hands and feet, there were very obvious stitching marks, from which a large number of black lines that had previously bound Asuma and Kakashi emerged!
In this way, it's as if Kakuzu is just a black line with a layer of skin on the outside, and his true form is the black line inside his body!
Of course, this isn't entirely wrong, since Kakuzu's true form can indeed be described as Jigan-Gree.
However, regardless of what Kakuzu's true form is, one fact remains before them!
That is, it seems they can't leave until they break through these two oddballs!
"There's no other way!" Kakashi and the others exchanged glances and made a decision: "Let's deal with the immediate problem first!"
"Go!" came a soft shout.
Kakashi, Asuma, and Might Guy charged forward, with Might Guy as the spearhead!
"Did you come together?" Three Jonin, who stood at the pinnacle of the ninja village, surrounded him together, and even Kakuzu felt immense pressure!
This combination is really capable of killing him!
Fortunately, the angle wasn't without its help.
"Hidan, come here and..." Kakuzu looked to the side, wanting Hidan to block Might Guy for him. Among Kakashi and his group, Might Guy was the biggest threat to him.
It wasn't until Kakuzu looked at Hidan that he realized Hidan's expression was excited, but his eyes were empty, clearly indicating that he had been subjected to an illusion.
It was only then that Kakuzu realized that there were not just three, but four Konoha Jonin who had come to intercept them this time.
However, since Kurenai Yuhi, a Jonin skilled in genjutsu, posed no threat to him, Kakuzu overlooked her.
"That piece of trash!" Kakuzu couldn't help but curse as he looked at Hidan, who was being controlled by genjutsu.
Because the situation was critical, Kakuzu was too lazy to help Hidan break free from the genjutsu control.
Without hesitation, he controlled the Earth Grudge within his body to grow wildly, forming two black ropes. He grabbed Hidan and used Hidan as a projectile to throw him at the three attacking Kakashi.
"What?" Kakashi and the other two were completely dumbfounded as they looked at Hidan, who was clearly still under the control of the genjutsu, who had been thrown over.
Because Kakuzu's actions can be considered betraying his teammates. What kind of fighting style involves throwing your teammates over as shields during a battle?
However, since Kakuzu has thrown Hidan over, Kakashi, Asuma, and the others will not hold back.
"Rachel!"
"Wind Release: Emerald Mist Gale!"
"Night Phoenix!"
Lightning Blade, Wind Release Chakra Blade, and a kick burning with flames landed on Hidan simultaneously.
"Pfft!" Hidan was instantly pierced by attacks from all directions.
"Take one down!"
Upon seeing this, Kakashi and the other two showed joy.
however……
"Ouch!" The intense pain jolted Hidan awake.
"That wasn't... Oh, it was an illusion!" Hidan instantly understood what had happened.
Hidan then grabbed Kakashi's hand that was stuck inside him, as well as Asuma's blade, and revealed a ferocious smile.
"You guys had a lot of fun beating me up just now, didn't you?"
