Chapter 258: Dog Head
"Are you Kakuzu, the one with the green eyes?" Naruto shouted at Kakuzu.
"Hey, Kakuzu, you're famous," Hidan said with a carefree grin, completely lacking any sense of crisis.
Kakuzu ignored Hidan and asked Naruto, "You know me?"
Naruto nodded. "Yeah, I heard you'll do anything as long as you get enough money."
"So what? Money is the only thing you can trust. Are you going to condemn me? Speaking of which, you happen to be quite valuable." Kakuzu stared at Naruto, not bothering to hide his desire for money.
Naruto waved his hand. "No, no, no, I'm not one to condemn people. I just want to talk business with you."
"Oh? Interesting. What kind of business?" Actually, Kakuzu was more curious about how much money a Nine Tails Jinchuriki was worth.
Naruto pointed at Hidan and said grandly, "I'll give you thirty million to buy the head of that guy next to you. How about it?"
Kakuzu hesitated. It wasn't that this deal couldn't be done, but was this Nine Tails Jinchuriki crazy?
Since he recognized the two of them, he should also know their purpose. What kind of prey makes deals with hunters? Was this a provocation?
Before Kakuzu could answer, Hidan couldn't take it anymore. He slammed the scythe he had been carrying on his shoulder into the ground. "Hey, you trying to die? I'm gonna get angry, and when I get angry, my brain gets congested, and when my brain gets congested..."
"Shut up, Hidan, you're too noisy." Kakuzu was annoyed by Hidan's incessant chatter.
"Okay, okay, but..." Hidan insisted on finishing his sentence, "When my brain gets congested, I won't care about the objective, I'll just want to destroy things!"
Kakuzu's head throbbed. Did this guy not understand human language? "Stop talking nonsense, Hidan. If you keep this up, I'll really exchange you for money."
"What did you say? Do you want to meet the Evil God-sama?" Hidan looked at Kakuzu with an unfriendly gaze.
"Excuse me for interrupting." Naruto used the same trick again. "The one with the scythe, you're called Hidan, right?"
"Huh?" Hidan looked at him with a haughty expression.
Naruto pinched his chin as if thinking. "I was wondering, if I believed in that Evil God-sama of yours, would you help me kill that guy next to you?"
"That depends on whether you're qualified, you bastard! What do you think Evil God-sama is?!" Hidan picked up his scythe and charged over. "Hey, Kakuzu, you can have all the money if you kill them!"
Kakuzu followed. It was a hundred million, after all. In the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of a small goal. It was a rare opportunity, and he would regret it for the rest of his life if he didn't try.
Although the Nine Tails Jinchuriki couldn't be killed, a Jinchuriki shouldn't die that easily. He could still exchange him for money after extracting the Tailed Beast.
Kakashi helplessly prepared for defense and counterattack. "We agreed to stall for time, but it seems like you've completely enraged them."
"Haha..." Naruto said awkwardly, "It's a good thing when the enemy is angry, right?"
"Since this monk is also their target, let this monk take the lead." Chiriku got into position. "If I can't shed blood, Welcoming Approach: Thousand-Hand Killing!"
After all, Naruto didn't want to screw Chiriku over, so he told him the characteristics of Kakuzu and Hidan after confirming their identities.
Chiriku naturally chose the lowest-risk mid-to-long-range combat method.
Having seen this move for the first time, Hidan and Kakuzu could only passively take the beating for a while. Amidst a series of banging sounds, the two of them flew backward and fell to the ground.
"That hurt, you bastard!" Hidan covered his head as he stood up. He didn't like feeling pain, except during sacrifices.
"That should be the power known as Sage Art. It's indeed troublesome." Kakuzu was different from Hidan. He himself wasn't hurt much because he used Earth Release: Earth Spear Technique to strengthen his body at the first moment.
Earth Spear sounded like an offensive Ninjutsu, but it was actually a Ninjutsu that combined offense and defense. It could both harden the skin to maximize the body's defense and focus on strengthening the arms to unleash an effect similar to Super Strength fist.
Chiriku put away his stance, looking at the two who had stood up again in amazement, "Could it really be an immortal body?"
Hearing and seeing are two different things, it seems they are really difficult people to deal with.
"That makes it even more valuable to offer to the Evil God!" Hidan ran forward a few steps, throwing the scythe in his hand, guided by the rope on the handle, sweeping horizontally, seemingly to cut everyone in half.
Zuo Zhu instantly took out the Lightning Blade, striking the scythe's blade with a clang, deflecting it.
"Tch, Kakuzu!" Hidan used force on his hand to pull the scythe back, continuing to rush forward without stopping.
At the same time, Kakuzu quickly formed hand seals: "Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"
Without anyone noticing, Kakuzu's back bulged, tearing a large hole in his clothes, two white masks hanging on his shoulders, one of them opening its mouth to spew out a fierce storm.
The storm covered a huge area, nearly thirty meters in width and height, advancing rapidly like countless blades, encompassing even Hidan within it.
The road in front of the mountain gate, originally paved with stone slabs, was utterly destroyed, and the roadside trees on both sides were cut to pieces, wind blades sweeping sand, gravel, wood chips, branches, leaves, and Hidan all together.
"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"
"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"
Naruto and Kakashi acted simultaneously, creating a thickened version of a water wall and an earth wall respectively. Actually, Naruto was quite curious if these defensive Ninjutsu could be combined to create a cement wall, but now there was clearly no time for them to practice their coordination.
"Using the characteristics of an immortal body to attack together with a companion, making it difficult for the opponent to react, what a reckless tactic."
Zuo Zhu commented, which reminded him of the past when Naruto told him that he could attack together with his Shadow Clones if necessary, he didn't expect to encounter someone even more ruthless now.
Kakuzu's Ninjutsu and its accessories first crashed into Naruto's water wall, countless debris sinking into it, Hidan even involuntarily plunged headfirst into the water.
The wind blades created ripples in the water wall, eventually splitting a crack, gradually depleting the water, after all, this thing is actually best at defending against Fire Release, defending against Wind Release is a bit unsuitable.
But behind the water wall was still an earth wall, the weakened wind blades struck the earth wall, cutting out cracks, and the Dog Head on it was also disfigured.
The most amusing thing was that Hidan was blown headfirst into the dog's mouth by the wind, his entire body hanging on the wall swaying in the wind, his clothes torn to shreds, and his scythe also nailed to the wall, unfortunately, only Kakuzu could see it.
By the time the storm stopped, Naruto and the others were unharmed, but the walls of the Fire Temple were not completely within the protected area, and were already scarred.
Hidan finally regained control of his body, propping his hands and feet on the wall, forcefully pulling out his head, and then happened to meet the Dog Head's gaze.
Hidan's anger +10086
"You guys, unforgivable!" Hidan pulled out his scythe, smashing the Dog Head with a single blow, then jumped onto the earth wall and shouted, "And you, Kakuzu, I'll kill you sooner or later!"
