Chapter 159 Mr. Kakuzu, are you interested in becoming my minister?

As he was about to step out of the dense forest, Kakuzu's vision gradually widened. He could already see several evergreen low mountains in the distance, as well as the sparsely scattered villages and towns among them.

As long as he could get out of the sight of the Takigakure ninjas behind him and blend into them, he could get rid of these dog-skin plasters with his concealment ability...

But at this moment, an extremely thick fog surged behind him, swallowing up the surroundings in an instant, causing Kakuzu's dark green pupils to freeze.

The low mountain houses in the distance went from being vaguely visible to a vast expanse of white. Everything was shrouded in thick fog, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.

"Water escape·Mist Hidden Technique?"

Fearing that he would get lost or fall into a trap, Kakuzu stopped and stood on the tree with a solemn expression. The wide field of vision in front of him was obscured, and the visibility was even less than one meter.

And the thick fog was not pure white, mixed with some black and purple.

Although it was not easy to detect a wisp, Kakuzu, who had slowed down his breathing, still found it and held his breath before inhaling.

It seems that it is not just the Water Style·Mist Hidden Technique that the Hidden Mist Village is good at, but the Water Style·Poisonous Mist Hidden Technique that the people of Takigakure are good at?

Puff!

Countless black threads were awakened like tentacles with life, twisting from the body and drilling through his skin to break out of his clothes behind him.

As the flying threads continued to surge, two monsters wearing similar white masks appeared on both shoulders, representing the heart of wind and fire attributes respectively.

"Wind Style·Compression!"

The masked monster with blue stripes on the corner of the mouth on the right shoulder opened his mouth, and the wind attribute chakra condensed in it was compressed and released.

Buzz! !

Just like the whistle spit out from the mouth of the masked monster, the hurricane turned into a gust of wind after violent contraction and explosion, sweeping most of the dense jungle in front of him!

However, looking at the poisonous fog that was blown away by the hurricane and quickly filled up, Jiao Du, who spit out black lines from his mouth, looked ugly.

"Does the guy leading the team have a grudge against me? Or did I kill some of his relatives or friends..."

Although the jungle environment is foggy, to achieve this level, at least several Takigakure ninjas at the level of jonin must use all their chakra without hesitation.

Obviously, the other party is determined to keep him even if they have to use people to resist.

"Then give it a try, you fool who overestimates your own abilities."

After understanding the determination of the group of Takigakure pursuers behind him, Kakuzu's frown, which was used to being tightly locked, became even deeper, and the fire-attributed masked monster on his left shoulder opened his red mouth.

"Fire escape·Head hardship!"

The fire-attributed masked monster spewed out a tongue of fire from its mouth. After a large piece of flames like a tide landed on the ground, it instantly expanded its range to cover everything around it, spreading out like waves rising in the sea.

Wherever he passed, large areas of poisonous fog were swept away by the terrifying heat wave, revealing the towering trees that were ignited and gradually spread the fire, and the charred ground that was eroded and engulfed by the fire.

But looking at this scene, Kakuzu's eyes were not happy at all.

The flames gradually drifted in the air, and a large number of sparks rustled down like a group of fireflies. His dark green pupils passed through the air distorted by the high temperature and looked at the Takigakure ninjas standing in the distance with their hands in hand seals.

In the dense jungle, the moistening drizzle covered the whole place and fell on Kakuzu's shoulders.

——Water Style·Kiri no Yu.

This is a secret technique that can weaken all ninjutsu and chakra except water style ninjutsu. Several Takigakure ninjas can use it together to suppress ninjutsu of other attributes to the weakest.

Feeling the attack weakened several times, Kakuzu couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: "If I had known that I would encounter such a troublesome situation, I should have left the water attribute heart of the Iwagakure renegade ninja."

The Iwagakure renegade ninja he sent to the gold exchange had the earth attribute chakra nature change acquired through training, and his innate chakra attribute was actually water attribute.

He had previously disliked the water attribute heart as rubbish, so he didn't replace it for himself, and sent it to the gold exchange intact to get more bounty.

In his prime, he had five hearts. At the same time, he mastered the five chakra nature changes of fire escape, earth escape, water escape, lightning escape, and wind escape. As long as the five hearts were not destroyed, he would not die.

But now, he did not replace the water attribute heart. Excluding the lightning attribute heart that was damaged before, he only had two fire and wind hearts, and his own earth attribute heart.

No, even if he replaced the water attribute heart at the beginning, it would not be of much use.

Because these Takigakure ninjas were too well prepared, with several jonin-level ninjas who cooperated very well, and each of them was good at perception, physical skills, ninjutsu, illusion, etc.

This was not a team configuration for hunting down rebel ninjas, but a troop configuration for war raids. It was a waste of talent to use it against a rebel ninja!

"If Takigakure really took action against me, such an obvious personnel transfer would not be hidden from the spies I planted in Takigakure."

Kakuzu's eyes flickered, and he thought, "So, these guys didn't come to find me at all, but I was unlucky and ran into their blades."

"Is their target actually the Mountain Country?"

"No, it should be Kagero Village!"

It happened that in this non-peak state, he encountered a Takigakure force with more than a hundred people preparing to secretly raid Kagero Village. The guy who led the team had a grudge against him. After seeing him, he directly led his men to point the spearhead at him without caring about anything.

This luck is simply extremely unlucky.

After understanding everything, Jiao couldn't help but twitch his eyes.

"Kakuzu!"

At this moment, the blue-haired Taki nin who was standing at the front and leading the team suddenly spoke up and said loudly: "If you don't want to die, hand over Ji Yu Yu immediately and come back with us to accept the trial!"

Will I go back to Takigakure with you to face trial?

Can an unfair trial also be called a “trial”?

That's clearly a lynching driven by profit, and he will be abandoned after squeezing out all his remaining value!

Hearing the hatred in the other person's tone that could not be concealed even if he tried to suppress it, Kakuzu's dark green eyes showed an indifferent smile that was not self-deprecating or sarcastic.

"The kid these days is really getting more and more arrogant."

Kakuzu's voice was hoarse and cold. He looked at the blue-haired Taki in the distance and sneered: "No wonder you look familiar. I recognize you. Your father is the guy who plays with souls. Same blue hair and same face. "

"He was proud to learn the soul secret technique inherited from Takigakure Village, but I killed him with a knife when his soul left the body. It's really a pity that I couldn't see with my own eyes his expression when he faced his body that was broken into thousands of pieces. ah."

"I'm afraid you don't know. Your father, who is so arrogant in front of others, is actually extremely afraid of death. Every time he takes action, I have to stand guard by him. I don't know if he has become a homeless wandering spirit... …”

Hearing Kakuzu's rude words and insults to his father, the blue-haired Taki-nin, who had been suppressing his hatred for a long time, suddenly exploded and screamed: "I'm going to kill you!"

"If you can do it!"

The horns filled with chakra in the body fought back, and the two masked monsters on the shoulders opened their mouths at the same time.

Combining the fire attribute mask monster and the wind attribute mask monster, both use fire escape, head painstaking and wind escape, pressure damage at the same time. The wind helps the fire turn into a large sea of ​​​​fire and pours out.

"Composite Ninja Technique: Strange Face Explosive Flame!"

boom! !

This attack was several times more powerful than the previous one, and a faint wailing sound could be heard as the flames spread.

It was obvious that when faced with the raging fire wave and super strong wind pressure, the Takigakure ninja who was hiding around and waiting for opportunities could not dodge and was directly involved in it and turned into pitch black charred corpses.

"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!"

After the Takigakure ninjas reacted, they immediately formed seals, spouting water from their mouths and erecting a huge wall of water in front of them, intercepting the surging terrifying fire wave.

The fire and water caused white steam to rise, covering the surroundings, and the originally invisible fog became thicker.

However, it also diluted the chakra of the "Water Release: Poisonous Mist Hidden Technique", causing the Taki ninjas who could originally perceive it clearly to be in a hurry.

"Wind Escape·The typhoon has passed!"

The blue-haired Taki-nin spit out a violent hurricane, blowing away most of the fog that was extremely difficult to dispel, and saw the fire-attribute masked monster left in place.

The black giant monster wearing a red mask is made of black threads all over its body, but it can break away from Kakuzu's body to form an independent individual to attack.

"That traitor from Kakuzu actually mastered the Earthly Resentment to this extent?!" The blue-haired Taki-nin's face suddenly darkened, and a trace of jealousy could not help but arise in his heart.

If such a powerful secret technique had not been stolen by Kakuzu, how could Takigakure Village be reduced to the current situation where it can only survive on its past glory and heritage?

boom! boom! boom!

The fire attribute mask monster made a clicking sound, and what came out of its mouth was not a sea of ​​fire but fire bombs.

The power of the fire bombs was far lower than the power of the sea of ​​fire, but it was better in speed and quantity. It made a sound of breaking through the air and headed towards the Takigakure ninja.

Looking at the figure running away in the thick fog, the blue-haired Taki nin understood that the other party was trying to use indiscriminate attacks to slow down their pursuit, and quickly ordered: "Don't get entangled with this ghost. "

"Leave a team of three, the others and I will chase Kakuzu!"

According to his intelligence and understanding of Yu Yu and Kakuzu, the power of the five-attribute chakra escape technique at the same time is terrifying, but the mask monster with a single attribute is not scary.

A monster that can only use fire escape can be suppressed by using ninjutsu with the opposite chakra properties, so it is nothing to worry about.

In any case, Kakuzu's body must be brought back today to comfort his father's spirit in heaven!

Boom boom boom!

Several people were separated to restrain the fire attribute mask monster, and the blue-haired Taki-nin led the remaining Takigakure ninja in pursuit.

No longer worrying about disturbing the people in Yangyan Village, the kunai they used were equipped with detonating talismans.

Even Kakuzu, who had used Earth Release and Earth Spear to harden his body, still felt waves of pain in his body after being repeatedly affected by explosions.

Kunai poses no threat to him, but the kunai falling like raindrops and the extremely powerful detonating talisman will make his internal organs vibrate even if his hardened skin can block it.

Buzz! !

The wind-type masked monster screamed behind him, knocking away the incoming detonating talisman kunai.

But even so, Kakuzu can clearly feel that the Sensing Ninja is still locked on him.

Detonating symbols kept exploding next to him, and his ears were full of buzzing and could no longer hear.

Sensing that the chakra in his body was about to be exhausted, as well as the several evil winds coming from behind, Kakuzu could only turn around and raise his arms to block it.

boom! !

Multiple detonating symbols shattered and exploded in front of him, and the arm as hard as stone was blown away.

Kakuzu flew out of the smoke and dust, using the impact of the explosion to distance himself, and rolled on the ground several times in a somewhat embarrassed manner until he hit a tree and stopped.

"Ahem!"

Looking at his empty arms with only black silk threads dancing around, and the wind-attribute masked monster on his shoulders that was gradually withering, Kakuzu's frowned brows and shrunken pupils gradually relaxed.

For him, who now only had two hearts, wind and earth, and his own information was exposed, chakra was not enough to support him to break through the siege, and everything he faced was a fatal desperate situation.

However, it didn't matter.

Kakuzu's dark green pupils were still calm, just looking at Takinin chasing from a distance.

Ever since he embarked on this solitary road, he had been prepared to be killed.

Compared with the death that was gradually approaching, Kakuzu just felt a little sorry that he failed to complete the task worth hundreds of millions.

This was really a black spot that was difficult to wash away for him with a 100% completion rate of the task.

"Catch this traitor, cut off his hands and feet."

The blue-haired Takinin stood on the tree, looking down at him.

Seeing Kakuzu still alive despite such injuries, the jealous fire in his eyes could hardly be concealed, and he said coldly: "I want to see how he escapes this time!"

"Yes!"

Several Takinin behind him responded, and instantly came under the tree, coming within a few meters in front of Kakuzu.

When one of them took a step forward, Kakuzu's lowered head suddenly raised up, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and the masked monster on his right shoulder opened his mouth.

"Wind Style: Suppress!"

Buzz! !

The bloody wind and waves surged like a hurricane, and the ground in front of him trembled and cracked.

The Takinin who took the first step was caught in the hurricane that looked like a meat grinder, and even his voice was hidden in it and turned into flesh and blood, and the mist was completely dispersed.

Seeing this, the faces of the other Taki ninjas changed, and they took back their steps before they could take them, and threw out the kunai with detonating tags.

"This time, I'm completely cornered."

Kakuzu's calm pupils were like a calm green water surface, clearly reflecting the detonating tags that were shot at him.

He was still trying his best to extract chakra, trying to drag a few more people down with him before he died.

However, the next moment, Kakuzu suddenly felt a creepy evil wind from the sky, as if a mountain of ten thousand kilograms collapsed, bringing a suffocating pressure.

Boom! !

The dazzling explosion light enveloped everything, but the power of the thing that fell to the ground directly shattered the ground within a hundred meters.

It was like a giant punched the table called "Earth" with a bang, and the dense trees were shaken to the ground like the models on the table.

"Compared to the detonating talismans of Yangyan Village, your detonating talismans are not very effective."

A hoarse voice full of violence came from the smoke and dust of the explosion.

Kakuzu used the flashing firelight to see the exaggerated figure of more than two meters tall that was looming in the middle. The shadow of the terrible back muscles that could not be concealed was enough to make people feel a primitive fear.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Kakuzu."

Just when Kakuzu was stunned and lost in thought, a gentle and inappropriate voice suddenly sounded beside him.

He turned his head subconsciously and met a pair of dark blue eyes full of interested smiles.

At some point, Kumokawa put his arms on his knees, squatted beside Kakuzu, and smiled: "Are you interested in becoming the Minister of my Ministry of Finance?"
