Fire Release: Intelligent Hard Work!
A wave of flames erupted from the mouth of the monster, exploding upon hitting the ground. In an instant, the earth transformed into a sea of fire.
Sasuke's face darkened.
He had been through many battles and no longer found such a massive fire attack surprising.
He was adept at spotting blind spots that ordinary people couldn't perceive.
Kakuzu claimed to have fought the First Hokage, which meant he must have been a ninja born around the Warring States period. Due to years of fighting, a ninja's physical capabilities decline drastically with age. However, Kakuzu was still able to unleash such a powerful Fire Release at nearly a hundred years old. This was the fundamental issue!
"It seems that this technique, called 'The Earth Grudge Fear' is a rare ability that can directly transform the body..."
"Boom!"
As the sea of fire neared him, Sasuke quickly formed the seal with his hands against the heatwave!
Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!
"Boom!"
The scarlet flames from Sasuke's mouth transformed into a dragon, tearing through the sea of fire in front of him and advancing toward Kakuzu with immense force.
Kabuto, who had been wandering through the forest, was surprised. "What kind of fire escape is this? It's obviously not as large as Kakuzu, but it has an overwhelming advantage!"
Orochimaru said pleasantly, "Sasuke-kun has long since surpassed the stage of pursuing the scale of the technique. He pays more attention to the 'effectiveness of the technique' than to its range. He released fire chakra equivalent to Kakuzu in a highly condensed form. The difference between the two is immediately apparent!"
"The Fire Escape technique that can suppress the headstrong hard work is the boost brought by Senju Hashirama's chakra!!!"
"Snap!"
On Kakuzu's left shoulder, the Wind-Style Masked monster launched a furious storm, which instantly heightened the sea of fire above him to a new level of heat. The Great Dragon Fire Technique advance was obviously hindered!
Sasuke didn't rush to counterattack, but instead analyzed the situation carefully.
"The mask on his left shoulder is for fire escape, the mask on his right shoulder is for wind escape, and there are two more masks on his back. Along with the chest mask, he has five masks in total in his Earth Grudge Fear. Each of his masks can use a different type of escape technique. Additionally, the masked monster seems to have a 'death substitution' effect? So, what is the principle behind this death substitution?"
"By the way, when he used the black thread to grab my Thunder Shadow Clone, he tried to rip out my 'heart.' Does that mean every masked monster contains a 'heart'?"
"Five hearts, meaning five lives..."
"I see, this is the truth behind the immortality of Akatsuki's 'Kakuzu'!"
"Whoosh!"
Sasuke's hand seals suddenly shifted!
The fire dragon that had been suppressed suddenly opened its mouth!
Fire Release: Swallow!
"Whoosh!"
The blazing flame suddenly entered the dragon's mouth, causing it to grow rapidly in size!
Kakuzu was horrified. "What a joke!!! This jutsu is actually absorbing my flames!!!"
"Boom!!!"
The strengthened Dragon charged forward with overwhelming force!
Water Release: Water Formation Wall!
"Click! Click!"
As a last resort, Kakuzu used the water mask on his back and launched a powerful water cannon forward!
Although the attributes were suppressed, the power was still insufficient!
Lightning Release: False Darkness!
"Click!"
The lightning mask also opened, and the sharp lightning spear, combined with the water cannon, finally blocked the attack!
Kakuzu's dark green pupils widened in anger.
"What kind of joke is this? He used a fire ladder technique and forced me to use four masks!?"
Kabuto adjusted his glasses and said, "In the battle with Sasori, I didn't see Sasuke-kun use such incredible fire escape techniques. Did he learn this on the spot?"
Orochimaru lightly shook his head. "No, this jutsu was created by Sasuke-kun a long time ago. It's a genuine super-class S fire escape jutsu. When he fought with Sasori, his chakra wasn't enough to bring out the full effectiveness of this technique. Only in this battle was the White Curse Seal lifted along with it. Sasuke-kun is proficient in more jutsus than just this one. As his power increases, you'll see more..."
Karin, who was present, wondered: Sasuke was only thirteen, right? Why does Sasuke sound like an old man? But seriously, even if he were an old man, I'd still like him, hehehe.
Above the mountain.
Black Zetsu asked in a low voice, "Obito, what do you think of Sasuke's performance?"
After a long pause, Obito spoke in a deep voice, "If he survives, one day, he will surpass Nagato."
Black Zetsu mocked internally: Ha, surpass Nagato? His ignorance limits his imagination. As the reincarnation of Indra, it's inevitable that he will surpass Nagato. I've been secretly keeping an eye on him ever since his clan was exterminated. How did this guy suddenly become so strong? Did 'Orochimaru' do something to him?
The conversation among the onlookers didn't affect the situation of the battle.
Sasuke ran forward, lifted his right sleeve, and placed the palm of his left hand over the "Summoning Jutsu" inscribed on his right arm!
"Boom!"
White smoke rose, and a Fuma Shuriken materialized in his hand, thrown directly at Kakuzu!
Kakuzu casually avoided the question:
"I sensed that you were somewhat clever, so you used this ridiculous trick to pretend to be..."
Sasuke slightly lifted the corners of his mouth and raised two fingers.
Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!"
From the summoning ritual inscribed on the Fuma Shuriken, an overwhelming number of Fuma Shuriken appeared, with nearly invisible Wire Strings at their tips, all of which were grasped by Sasuke's hands!
"Crack!"
Lightning chakra coursed through the Wire Strings, traveling down the shurikens, and Sasuke suddenly pulled his palms downward!
Uchiha Shuriken Formation: Spring Lightning!
Suddenly, lightning and a curtain of shurikens filled the sky and earth, completely blocking Kakuzu's escape routes!
"You!!!"
Kakuzu's eyes burned with anger, and the black lines were desperately unleashed, forming a black curtain that enveloped his entire body!
"Click, click, click, click, click!!"
The black curtain was being torn apart by the shurikens!!
Sasuke used the shurikens as cover and charged forward!
"Damn!!!"
Sensing the danger, Kakuzu formed seals with both hands.
Earth Release: Earth Spear!
"Click! Click!"
The skin all over his body hardened with the flow, and the insertion technique, which only reaches its full lethality after being pierced, failed to penetrate the surface of his body!
Kakuzu: "Don't think the same method will work on me!!!"
Sasuke was stunned: "Changing the toughness of the skin, this should be the scope of Earth Escape. But its core should have been destroyed, right?"
"Shaking!"
Unable to attack, Sasuke quickly retreated to avoid the approaching black lines.
"Ah, right, he only used his body to form seals. This Earth Escape hardening technique doesn't belong to Earth Grudge Fear, but is his own ability..."
Kakuzu felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the lightning arcs and shurikens still dancing across the ground.
"Just this shuriken trick is enough to kill most ninjas. Who the hell is this kid?!"
"The same trick doesn't work on you? Fine then..."
Sasuke crossed his arms over his chest.
Wood Release: Nativity of a World of Trees!
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!!"
As the earth trembled, the ground cracked open, and trees and vines surged forward, rolling and crushing ahead. A world of trees, even more powerful than the one he used against Sasori was released!
Kakuzu: "Hidan, come help!!!"
