NOVEL WEB Chapter 260: Even
The best way to deal with this move would be to dodge it, at most damaging the Fire Temple Gate and part of the walls.
But Naruto refused. Who runs away when the enemy wants to clash? So he said, "Leave it to me!"
"Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave!"
A giant wave rose in front of Naruto, its height and width greater than the coverage of Kakuzu's combination Ninjutsu.
Normally speaking, a simple Water Release would be difficult to extinguish a Wind-Fire Combination Ninjutsu, but abandoning the dosage to talk about attribute suppression is just being a hooligan.
Kakuzu can use a Wind-Fire combination, the effect being one plus one is greater than two. Naruto can also directly super-multiply four ones to make a bomb.
Kakuzu is strong. This combination Ninjutsu can probably evaporate a small pond, but it may not be able to evaporate a lake.
"Chi~" Water and fire collided, producing a large amount of water vapor. Then the power of the wind had a tendency to push the water back, and Naruto had to increase his Chakra input to stabilize it.
Faced with this scale of Water Release, Kakuzu didn't ask the question, 'You call this thing Water Release?' like those opponents who hadn't seen the world before.
"This kind of Water Release can't help but remind people of a certain shark-faced bastard." Kakuzu wasn't surprised. That guy was only called a tailless Tailed Beast, but the person he's facing now really possesses a Tailed Beast.
"Truly a disaster-like power!" Chiriku praised. Naruto had reason to suspect that he was celebrating that the Fire Temple didn't have to find his brother-in-law to repair the gate.
Kakashi and Sakura were already used to the big scenes when Naruto took action, and weren't too surprised.
Only Sasuke looked at the water vapor rising with the heat, his eyes shining. 'Wait a little longer, it seems I can use that move again. Naruto, you're doing great!'
When the wind and fire disappeared and the water subsided, the ground on Kakuzu's side had been scorched and then covered with a shallow layer of water.
When the white steam dissipated, everyone could see that the robe on Kakuzu's body had been torn, the two masks on his shoulders had disappeared, and four black monsters wearing white masks had appeared beside him.
Kakuzu should be considered a biological cyborg. He uses Earth Grudge Fear to seize other people's hearts for his own use, which not only allows him to obtain the corresponding Chakra attribute, but also extends his lifespan.
Theoretically, as long as he replaces his heart with a new, young heart before his own heart stops beating, he can extend his lifespan almost indefinitely, much like Orochimaru's method of changing bodies.
Logically speaking, Orochimaru should also be interested in Earth Grudge Fear. The reason he didn't attack Kakuzu might be because he couldn't beat him.
After all, this guy can skillfully use Ninjutsu of five attributes, has decades of combat experience, and can beat Kakashi down in terms of Taijutsu alone.
It feels like Kakuzu took the Third Hokage's template and strengthened it. The older he gets, the more experience he has, and his physical fitness doesn't decline.
Now, each of the four black monsters represents an attribute, plus himself, which is basically equivalent to five Jonin of different attributes.
"Now it's five against five, your hearts... and one hundred million, I want them all!"
One of the monsters opened its mouth and spat out dazzling Lightning: "Lightning Release: False Darkness!"
To describe it, it's somewhat like Misaka Mikoto's Railgun, without the coin and without the concentrated power version.
Kakashi stood up, stood in front of everyone, and stretched out his hands: "Lightning Release: Twin Lightning Quake!"
Dazzling Blue Lightning erupted from Kakashi's palms, blocking Kakuzu's Lightning like a Lightning shield, but judging from the cold sweat on Kakashi's forehead, it didn't seem easy.
"Kakashi-sensei, can you do it?" Naruto was ready to replenish his Chakra.
"If you have the mood to tease me, you might as well come and help." Kakashi increased his Chakra output, and the half-finger gloves on his hands exploded into pieces.
"I'll do it." Sasuke raised his Lightning Blade and showed a confident smile. The time is right for me!
Instead of passively defending, it's better to take the initiative. I, Sasuke, even if I can't fight seven today, I will fight five: "Lightning Release: Kirin!"
The purple Kirin, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, poked its head out from the clouds and plunged towards Kakuzu and the four monsters gathered together.
"To be able to control natural Lightning!" Kakuzu rarely showed a shocked expression, but he immediately responded the moment he sensed something was wrong: "Wind Release: Pressure Damage! Water Release: Water Encampment Wall!"
Under normal circumstances, Wind Attribute Chakra restrains Lightning Attribute, but as the saying goes, it depends on the quantity.
Not to mention that Sasuke's Kirin borrowed the Lightning of the natural world, instead of simply using Lightning Attribute Chakra.
The Kirin descended, and the hastily released Wind Release and a layer of Water Screen failed to stop it. Kakuzu and the four monsters were all enveloped in the Kirin's Lightning.
The Lightning that Kakashi was defending against disappeared, and he retracted his hand, revealing a relieved expression.
Chiriku looked at the scene in front of him in shock. It was one thing for Naruto to be able to use that kind of Water Release, after all, he was a Jinchuriki, so it wasn't surprising at all.
But how could this Sasuke be so strong? The younger generation of Konoha is too terrifying.
Amidst the ear-splitting thunder, it was difficult to discern whether there were any screams. At this time, they should be thankful that the water Naruto had created earlier had flowed away and seeped into the ground, otherwise, it might have accidentally injured friendly forces.
It didn't matter if they couldn't see clearly, Naruto was constantly monitoring the five Chakra signatures inside.
"Huh?" Naruto showed a surprised expression.
"How is it?" Sasuke was most concerned about his results.
Naruto said, "Two are dead, and three burrowed into the ground and ran away."
"How is that possible?" Sasuke's eyes were fixed on Kakuzu's location.
The Lightning dissipated, and the corpses of two black monsters lay quietly on the ground, their bodies, made of unknown materials, were still emitting black smoke.
The masks on the monsters' heads were broken, but it was still possible to identify the two who used Wind Release and Lightning Release. It was estimated that they were in too much of a hurry to escape, and these two didn't even have time to interrupt their casting, or they were used as meat shields for Kakuzu.
"Damn it! Which direction did he escape in?" Sasuke was annoyed that his ultimate technique failed to take down Kakuzu.
"Don't worry, we'll just follow him slowly." He's already taken off his clothes, how can he survive today? Naruto calmly packed up the two monsters.
Kakashi suggested, "Master Chiriku, why don't you stay in the temple just in case?"
Chiriku bowed and said, "Alright, thank you for your help."
Chiriku felt that he had been targeted by those two people, and if it weren't for Kakashi and the others helping him, he might be dead by now, and perhaps the Fire Temple would have been destroyed.
Kakashi said, "Not at all, we should be thanking you for your help."
Kakashi felt that these two members of the Akatsuki were here for the Nine Tails, and targeting Chiriku's bounty was just a side effect. It was they who caused trouble for the Fire Temple.
After saying goodbye to Chiriku, the group chased after him, led by Naruto. They only heard a loud bang, and Naruto grinned, "That guy has lost another life."
