Chapter 266 A sudden battle breaks out
This person is none other than the strongest bounty hunter, the S-rank rebel ninja from Takigakure who once fought against the God of Ninjas, the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and the immortal ninja Kakuzu who is known as "the one who lives as long as the heaven and earth"!!!
In the hot spring town, Nagato raised his head as if he sensed something and looked towards the west of the town in confusion. He seemed to sense some strange chakra aura just now, but it disappeared quickly.
"Captain Tenshin!" Soon, Nagato found Otsutsuki Tenshin. He firmly believed that his perception just now was not an illusion.
Nagato described the fleeting feeling of chakra to Otsutsuki Tenshin, who nodded and agreed with Nagato's statement. He also felt that Nagato should not have made a mistake in his perception. After all, although Nagato did not have the surname Uzumaki, it was undeniable that he was a member of the Uzumaki clan, and he possessed the legendary Rinnegan!
"White eyes!" Blue veins suddenly popped up at the corners of Otsutsuki Tenshin's eyes, like twisting little snakes, slowly spreading to both sides of his cheeks. He looked very hideous and weird, but there was also a strange kind of harmonious beauty.
Otsutsuki Tenshin's pure white eyes became extremely sharp, and his vision penetrated all obstacles and extended into the distance with himself as the center.
Not far from the entrance of the town, Otsutsuki Tenshin soon discovered a man who was walking slowly towards the town without any intention of concealing himself. He was holding a corpse in his hand. The bright and powerful chakra fluctuations were extremely dazzling in the sight of the Byakugan.
With the information provided by the Anbu, Otsutsuki Tenshin had already known about Kakuzu's chakra aura. Therefore, he instantly confirmed that this man with huge chakra was the Kakuzu they were looking for!
"Found it! It's Kakuzu!" Otsutsuki Tenshin whispered, with a gleam of light in his Byakugan eyes. After searching for it everywhere, the target actually showed up at his doorstep!
Nagato's perception is indeed powerful, worthy of being a member of the Uzumaki clan, worthy of being the Samsara Eye!!!
At the same time, Kakuzu, who was approaching the town, frowned, and a cold light flashed in his green eyes.
He vaguely sensed that someone seemed to be secretly watching him, but out of confidence in his own strength, he did not change his original destination, but secretly became more vigilant.
After all, in his many years of career as a bounty hunter, after each hunt, when he went to the underground gold exchange to exchange the bounty, there would always be a few short-sighted desperadoes who wanted to take shortcuts and rob the robbers and set their sights on him.
However, he is the strongest bounty hunter Kakuzu, and he is also a man who once fought with the God of Ninja and escaped unscathed. Not just any Tom, Dick or Harry can come and try to scam him!
"Hmph! You are another rogue who came from nowhere, and you dare to spy on me, Kakuzu. I hope you have enough bounty on the bounty list, so that I will feel good when I kill you later."
However, this time, Kakuzu, who was usually cautious, did not know what was waiting for him.
-----------------
Hot spring town, underground gold exchange.
Kakuzu, exuding a cold aura, walked in carrying a corpse. The originally noisy scene inside the gold exchange suddenly became quiet.
All the bounty hunters who saw Kakuzu coming in lowered their heads and remained silent, not daring to look directly at Kakuzu. It can be said that among these old bounty hunters who have been in the underground gold exchange for a long time, which one would not know this uncle Kakuzu who is famous in the underground world!
This is the deterrent power of the strongest bounty hunter!
Several new bounty hunters looked at the scene in front of them in bewilderment, not knowing what was going on. They just wanted to raise their heads to look around, but were immediately stared at by other bounty hunters who knew the inside story and held their heads down.
The novice bounty hunters were pinned to the ground, not daring to look up, and could only wait quietly. They didn't know what they had done wrong, but judging from the reactions of the people around them, this was obviously not a good sign.
The bounty hunters present all stared at Kakuzu's back nervously until he slowly disappeared deep into the underground gold exchange.
Finally, when Kakuzu walked into the room deep in the underground gold exchange to exchange bounties, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They subconsciously released the hands that were holding down the new bounty hunter, allowing them to catch their breath.
At this time, one of the new bounty hunters looked up, as if he wanted to ask something. But before he could finish his words, a group of bounty hunters rushed up and punched and kicked him.
“Kid!” A bounty hunter was tired of fighting, so he stopped and walked aside to speak. His tone was unusually cold, and his eyes were full of threats and warnings. “If you don’t want to die, open your eyes. When you meet Lord Kakuzu in the future, lower your head as much as possible. Otherwise, even if Lord Kakuzu doesn’t bother you, we will! Got it!!!”
A kind bounty hunter educated these newbies about Kakuzu's "heroic" deeds. When they learned of Kakuzu's notorious reputation, the newbies couldn't help but tremble, their faces turned pale as paper, and they broke out in cold sweat. Only now did they realize how reckless and suicidal their behavior was.
Kakuzu is not an easy character to deal with. Once he is in a bad mood, he will probably remember everyone present, and then kill them one by one after they leave the town.
Although, most of these bounty hunters were small-time characters, not worth much bounty, and their hearts were not worthy of Kakuzu's attention, so they were not worthy of Kakuzu's attack.
Our Lord Kakuzu only does big business!
However, if Kakuzu is really unhappy, he will still take action. After all, these little Karamis can be crushed to death with ease for him, Kakuzu, so it is easy to deal with them.
.........
.........
.........
"Mr. Kakuzu! Here is your one million ryo!" The person in charge of the underground gold exchange here respectfully handed a black leather suitcase filled with banknotes to Kakuzu.
"Hmm..." Kakuzu reached out to take the box, nodded without comment, opened the box on the spot, and began counting the money.
Although the reputation of underground gold exchange offices has always been very good in this regard and there will be no situation where you are shortchanged, he still has to count the money himself.
For Kakuzu, who has experienced betrayal and has an extremely long life, money is the most trustworthy thing in this ninja world. Therefore, after receiving the bounty, counting the banknotes one by one with his hands is what he is most passionate about and is also the source of his motivation to earn the bounty.
The pleasure of passing through the banknotes one by one made Jiaodu enjoy it immensely. He was addicted to it and couldn't extricate himself.
As the last banknote was counted, Kakuzu closed the black leather suitcase again, held it in his hand, turned and left.
At the same time, the person in charge of the underground gold exchange had secretly passed Kakuzu's whereabouts to Otsutsuki Tenshin via telegram, but this was a useless effort for Tenshin's team.
Because, under Nagato's reminder, Otsutsuki Tenshin had already used the Byakugan to lock onto Kakuzu. At this time, Tenshin's team was quietly waiting for Kakuzu's arrival on the outskirts of the town.
-----------------
Kakuzu walked out of the hot spring town slowly, carrying a black leather suitcase. Then, he saw Otsutsuki Tenshin, Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan not far away.
Kakuzu paused for a moment, then continued to approach the four people. Although he was a skilled and courageous man and vaguely sensed the approximate strength of Otsutsuki Tenshin, he was still not afraid at all.
After all, he is a man with five hearts. Being cowardly before the battle doesn't fit in with his status as the strongest bounty hunter, Kakuzu.
"The Hyuga clan? And the Uzumaki clan? A standard jonin team, it seems they are here to seek revenge on me!" As the distance between the two sides continued to narrow, Kakuzu saw Otsutsuki Tenshin's iconic Byakugan at a glance and said to himself.
You know, he had dealt a heavy blow to the "Konoha White Fang" Hatake Sakumo in the past, and now, Konoha has come to his door!
However, Kakuzu recognized the wrong person, but this is understandable. After all, in the general perception of the ninja world, the Byakugan and the Uzumaki clan both belong to Konoha.
A cold light flashed in Kakuzu's green eyes. He put the black leather suitcase in his hand into the storage scroll he carried with him, and then suddenly launched an attack.
Sneak attack! ! !
The first to strike is the strongest! The last to strike will suffer!
Having lived for so many years, Kakuzu understands this truth well!
"Earth Style: Earth Spear!!!"
Kakuzu's figure disappeared from the spot in an instant, and appeared in front of Otsutsuki Tenshin the next second, with a black glow on his fist, and he punched down hard.
"Disperse!" Otsutsuki Tenshin shouted. The moment Kakuzu disappeared, he knew something was wrong. He instantly opened his Byakugan and gathered chakra on his hands, blocking Kakuzu's heavy punch.
Although Otsutsuki Tenshin blocked Kakuzu's heavy punch in time, he was caught off guard and was hastily defended, so he was still knocked away by Kakuzu's fist that was hardened by earth escape.
Otsutsuki Tenshin's body kept retreating uncontrollably, and his feet left two deep marks on the ground.
Otsutsuki Tenshin was full of questions. What was wrong with Kakuzu? Why didn't he play by the rules? We didn't show any hostility, so why did he attack right away? Couldn't we just talk it out first?
A wonderful misunderstanding was formed inadvertently.
However, the battle had already broken out with Kakuzu's brazen attack. So, there was no need for Otsutsuki Tenshin to explain anything. Let's just fight first!
However, Kakuzu, who had been through many battles, would not give Otsutsuki Tenshin a chance to breathe. He instantly stepped forward again, grabbed Otsutsuki Tenshin's wrist with his hardened left hand, and at the same time, he gathered strength with his right hand and punched Otsutsuki Tenshin in the abdomen, knocking Otsutsuki Tenshin out again.
Immediately afterwards, Kakuzu once again rushed forward and caught up with Otsutsuki Tenshin who was flying backwards. He raised his elbow and smashed it hard on Otsutsuki Tenshin's head.
Otsutsuki Tenshin lost the initiative and was hit by two heavy punches from Kakuzu. He was unable to put up any effective resistance for a while. Looking at Kakuzu's iron elbow coming at him, he could only expend a large amount of chakra to spread over the acupuncture points all over his body, and then released it in one breath.
"Gossip, back to heaven!!!"
Otsutsuki Tenshin twisted his body forcefully and began to spin rapidly, like a gyroscope, making circular motions, and the moment Kakuzu's iron elbow came down, he was bounced away.
At this time, Nagato, Yahiko and Konan, who had just made evasive moves in time at the reminder of Otsutsuki Tenshin, saw that their captain finally got rid of Kakuzu's entanglement and bounced him away, so they formed hand seals at the same time and launched an attack on Kakuzu.
"Water Style: Black Rain Technique!!!"
"A rain of paper cranes!!!"
"Fire Release·Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique!!!"
The three of them once again coordinated their attacks and bombarded Kakuzu who was bounced away and fell to the ground by Kaiten.
.........
.........
.........
The smoke and dust stirred up by the explosion gradually dissipated, and Kakuzu's figure appeared. As expected, he was unharmed, except for his clothes, which were torn a lot by the explosion.
It turned out that Kakuzu activated "Earth Escape: Earth Spear" again just before the explosion, hardening his entire body and blocking the continuous bombardment.
All I can say is that the law of "there is smoke but no harm" is basically applicable everywhere.
"Nagato! Yahiko! Konan!" Otsutsuki Tenshin's stern voice came, "Just watch from behind, don't take any action! I want to have a good fight with this guy who started a fight without even saying hello!"
Otsutsuki Tenshin was very unhappy. He felt that Kakuzu had no respect for patience at all and would just attack without listening to anyone. When he was outside the village, he represented the face of the Otsutsuki clan and even the face of the Hidden Mist Village. Therefore, he needed to let Kakuzu know what Otsutsuki was and what the Hidden Mist Village was!
"White Eyes, Pressure!!!"
Otsutsuki Tenshin glared fiercely at Kakuzu who had just experienced the explosion. At the same time, Otsutsuki Tenshin continued to gather chakra in the palms of his hands.
The Byakugan exuded a huge pressure, which went straight towards Kakuzu. The huge invisible pressure enveloped and shocked Kakuzu, causing him to pause for a moment in the process of forming hand seals. This was the opportunity that Otsutsuki Tenshin wanted.
"Eight Trigrams: Empty Palm!!!"
The chakra gathered in the palms of his hands was fired fiercely, and Otsutsuki Tenshin aimed at Kakuzu's position and threw two palms into the air.
A low and heavy sound of air friction was heard, accompanied by a shrill scream, and two balls of high-density chakra rushed towards Kakuzu.
