Naruto the Genius

Chapter 198 Can't Move
Not long after, Ino returned to her body. Shikamaru helped her up and asked, "Ino, did you find anything?" Ino nodded and said, "We found traces of the enemy at two o'clock, but for some reason, they sat there without moving?" Shikamaru asked in confusion, "Sitting there without moving? Are they preparing some special ninjutsu? Tell me the details first."

Ino said, "They were sitting together, both making hand seals, and they seemed to be gathering chakra. But they didn't seem to be doing anything else. And they looked like they had been sitting there for a long time." Shikamaru said, "Ino, go over there and take a look using the same method you used just now. Be careful." Ino nodded and used the Heart Turn Technique again. After a while, Ino came back again.

Shikamaru hurriedly asked, "They haven't moved yet?" Ino nodded and said, "From just now until now, there is no sign of movement at all." Kakashi said, "It seems that they are performing some technique that prevents them from moving, but this is an opportunity for us." Shikamaru also nodded and said, "In this case, let's not get close to them for now. I still have to make some arrangements here. It seems that our luck is better this time. This area happens to be a place I am familiar with. How about this, I will go there alone to make arrangements, and Kakashi, Choji and Ino will also set some traps here." With that, Shikamaru left.

Ino and Choji were too late to catch up, so Kakashi said, "Let him go over there alone. After all, the enemy this time is still relatively strong for us. Ino, notify Konoha immediately, Choji, you and I will set some traps." Both of them followed Kakashi's command, one began to contact Konoha, and the other began to help Kakashi set traps.

Hidan and Kakuzu are now sealing the Two-Tails, but it is almost over. Finally, the tailed beast chakra of the two-tailed beast was completely stripped away, and his body fell to the ground helplessly. Another eye of the Outer Path Demon Statue lit up. Pein said: "The sealing of the Two-Tails is over, and there are four left. Everyone disperse."

Hidan immediately complained, "It has been raining for three consecutive days. It's really unbearable." Kakuzu said, "Let's not talk about this for now. We have to hurry to Konoha." Deidara heard the word Konoha and said quickly, "Although we have discussed it before, there is one thing I still want to remind you two. Please pay special attention. Uzumaki Naruto, the Jinchūriki of Konoha Village, is very powerful. Be careful if you meet him."

Hidan laughed and said, "Little Deidara, don't compare us with you. You are the young man who asked Kakuzu to sew his hands back last time." Having both his hands knocked off last time has always been a sore spot for Deidara. Being ridiculed by Hidan like this, Deidara had no words to refute.

Who knew that at this time, Kakuzu, who was in the same group with Hidan, suddenly said, "It's better than having your head chopped off by someone else." Hidan reacted violently to what Kakuzu said. This was the most embarrassing thing for him. He shouted at Kakuzu, "Hey, Kakuzu, whose side are you on? I am your companion after all."

Pain said: "Hidan, Kakuzu, you two must be careful. I will send people to reinforce you immediately. But before that, you must stay alive." After saying that, Pain disappeared directly, and the others basically returned to their original bodies.

As soon as he returned to his body, Hidan stood up immediately, shook his neck and said, "I haven't moved for three days in a row. This time I must do something big." Kakuzu ignored him and prepared to leave with the box. Hidan hurriedly said, "Kakuzu, you're going the wrong way. The direction of the gold exchange should be that way."

Kakuzu turned around and said, "Are you an idiot? Last time, not only did we not get the important bounty, we almost lost our lives. Do you want to be beheaded again? Our main goal is to be the Jinchūriki. We can't just sit here and wait to die before reinforcements arrive." Hidan touched his head and said embarrassedly, "That's right, Kakuzu, I almost forgot." Kakuzu suddenly stopped and said, "By the way, your stitched wound is really ugly. Use this to cover it." As he said that, Kakuzu threw a forehead protector to Hidan, which was the one that Hidan had been wearing before. Hidan took the forehead protector in disbelief and said, "This, did you pick it up for me on purpose?"

Hidan tied it around his neck to cover the stitched wound, and said to Kakuzu happily: "Kakuzu, you also have a cute side. Do you like me a little bit? Kakuzu, you are getting cuter and cuter." Hidan laughed as he spoke, feeling extremely excited about Kakuzu's concern. Kakuzu said coldly: "If you say such disgusting words again, I will kill you now." Hidan still kept pestering: "Kakuzu, don't be shy."

Kakashi and Choji were setting up traps. Ino, who was in charge of keeping an eye on Hidan and Kakuzu, suddenly returned to her body and said, "We were almost discovered. They have already started to move. Moreover, they are now heading in our direction." Kakashi said, "Call Shikamaru to join us immediately. It seems that setting up the traps was not in vain. However, this is all we can do under the current circumstances."

Although Hidan is a thick-skinned person, Kakuzu is very cautious and moves very carefully. However, with the presence of Hidan, the possibility of Kakuzu's covert actions is greatly reduced. Because of what happened last time, Kakuzu can only keep alert to prevent sudden attacks by Konoha's people.

The two walked for a while, and there were many dry trees here, which looked very peaceful. Just as the two passed a big tree, a black shadow slowly stretched out from behind them. It was Shikamaru's shadow binding technique. Just when it was about to catch the two, Kakuzu suddenly reacted and escaped from the range of the shadow binding technique with Hidan.

As if he had expected this, Shikamaru suddenly appeared in front of the two men and threw two kunai at them. Kakuzu saw that there were detonating tags stuck to the back of the kunai and quickly hardened his body, while Hidan also quickly opened more kunai. However, in their haste, the two were still submerged in the smoke and dust of the detonating tags.

Hidan has an immortal body, so he is not afraid of this kind of attack. Kakuzu said, "I just hardened my body, so the Exploding Talisman didn't hurt me." At this time, Shikamaru threw two kunai from above, and there were also Exploding Talismans behind them. The two of them quickly dodged, and the two kunai were shot beside them.

But this time, the detonating tag on the kunai did not explode. Hidan and Kakuzu were puzzled, but were surprised to find that they could no longer move.
