Simultaneous traversal: All Abyss difficulty.

Chapter 66 Encountering the Akatsuki duo!

After a night's rest, Kakashi took Uchiha Yu and bypassed the main gate of the Land of Lightning and chose to leave the city through the west gate.

After half a day of climbing over mountains and crossing hills, the two finally arrived at the border between the mountains and the forest.

Uchiha Yu chewed coffee beans and used a kunai to clear the grass in front of him that was taller than him. "This journey was really not easy. I never expected to encounter Orochimaru."

Kakashi yawned, looking like he hadn't woken up yet. "Orochimaru's obsession with the Sharingan exceeds the village's judgment of him. It seems that the Uchiha ninja Decun, who has opened his eyes, will have to be more careful when he goes on missions in the future."

Speaking of this, Uchiha Yu really wanted to complain.

The reason why Orochimaru was like this was actually because of Itachi.

Itachi and Orochimaru's first meeting was not in the Akatsuki organization.

As early as when Itachi showed his genius in the Anbu, Orochimaru had set his sights on him.
After all, everything that happened to me was inextricably linked to this guy Itachi.
"Teacher Kakashi, I have some ideas about the control of illusion. When I concentrated the chakra into my eyeballs, I felt..."

Before Uchiha Yu finished speaking, Kakashi's expression suddenly froze!
He looked at the bushes in the distance and threw out two shurikens!

"Dang Dang!"

Sparks flashed, and there was indeed someone in the bushes!
"Not bad, not bad, it's really good!"

As the voice fell, a rough man holding a big knife jumped out of the bushes.

Just a glance at each other made Kakashi and Uchiha Yu panic!
Black cloak, fiery clouds.

The rumored Akatsuki member!?

just
Uchiha Yu frowned.

Why hasn't he seen this person before?
Is there such a character in the more than 700 episodes of Naruto?
The figure that appeared afterwards made Uchiha Yu immediately open his Sharingan!
Green eyes, headscarf, forehead protector from the Takigakure renegade, the same mask as Kakashi
The person who came was none other than the Finance Minister of the Akatsuki organization, a man who was said to be as old as the heaven and earth, a living fossil of the ninja world - Kakuzu!
Kakuzu!?
Uchiha Yu instantly formed seals with both hands, ready to perform substitution techniques at any time.

He didn't take the story about Kakuzu throwing a shuriken at Hashirama Senju from eight hundred miles away seriously.

During this period, among all the senior ninjas in Konoha, Kakuzu was the only one who could defeat Gai in a one-on-one fight, and the rest were not good enough.

During the Shippuden period, Kakashi was already able to use Obito's eyes to release Kamui, and even with the cooperation of the Ino, Shika, and Chou trio, they were still unable to defeat Kakuzu.

If Yamato hadn't brought Naruto, who had just learned the Wind Style Shuriken Rasengan, and the new Team 7 consisting of Sakura and Sai to support him.
There is a high probability that Kakashi and Inocho will have their hearts dug out by Kakuzu.

"I never expected to meet the famous copy ninja, Hatake Kakashi, in this place."

The rough man next to Kakuzu spoke loudly. He threw the big sword over his shoulder and pointed at Kakashi with one hand, "Hey, Konoha ninja, what are you two doing here? Hand over your information and the whereabouts of the Nine-Tails quickly!"

Uchiha Yu's eyelids twitched as he remembered who this person was.

A member of Akatsuki who appeared once in the original story, whose name is unknown and who was killed by Kakuzu himself.

There are basically two reasons why these two people appeared near the Land of Thunder.

Or maybe everyone is doing bounty missions.

Either that or the mission to capture the tailed beasts has already begun.

But no matter which one it is, it is extremely dangerous for Uchiha Yu and Kakashi!
"Hey, Yu." Kakashi's voice sounded beside Uchiha Yu, "Run as fast as you can. If these two people chase us and we can't get rid of them, you deal with the one wearing a mask and not talking." Uchiha Yu's face froze and he pointed at his face, "Ah? Who are you talking about? I deal with him???"

Before Uchiha Yu could finish his complaints, the rough guy rushed up while yelling!
"Kakashi's head is worth some money, and that kid next to him is an Uchiha, let's kill them together!"

"Oh!"

The big sword sent Uchiha Yu and Kakashi flying. Kakashi started to make hand seals without saying anything, and Uchiha Yu ran away without saying anything else!

He had just run two steps when he suddenly felt a sound of breaking wind coming from behind him. His nerves were tense and his Sharingan was fully opened!

Under the effect of the Sharingan, his vision became unusually clear, time seemed to slow down, and he was able to accurately capture the trajectories of several shurikens flying towards him.

Without any hesitation, he pulled out several shurikens from the ninja tool bag at his waist, and with a flick of his wrist, the shurikens flew out!

These shurikens were like arrows shot from a bow, pointing directly at the shurikens thrown by Kakuzu!

Clank, clank, clank! Sparks flew and the sound of metal colliding echoed in the forest!
Uchiha Yu's shuriken and Kakuzu's shuriken met in the air, colliding accurately and changing their respective flight trajectories.

These shurikens eventually pierced into the tree trunks and soil nearby, some were deeply inserted into the tree trunks, and some were half-buried in the ground!
Kakuzu didn't expect that he couldn't kill a child instantly. His anger was ignited. He formed seals with both hands, pointed at Uchiha Yu and exhaled, "Fire Style: Head-Takeku!"

The lethality of Toukoku's technique far exceeds that of the Great Fireball, and Kakuzu has no intention of using a cannon to kill a fly.

This technique of his covers more than just Uchiha Yu.
Kakashi and the rough guy were also sprayed over!
A smile appeared on Kakuzu's face.

Kakashi’s head is valuable, so is the rough guy’s head also valuable?
The difference lies in where you exchange money.

Facing the high-damage Fire Release released by Kakuzu, Uchiha Yu's Sharingan in his eyes spun rapidly, and his body reacted instinctively!

"Water Style: Water Array Wall!" Uchiha Yu shouted in a low voice, and his chakra quickly condensed. The moisture in the surrounding air was quickly attracted, forming four thick water columns.

These water columns bulged around him, forming a solid barrier that surrounded him tightly!
The blazing flames swept over like a huge wave, and the high temperature almost ignited the surrounding air!
However, when these flames came into contact with Uchiha Yu's water array wall, the water column evaporated quickly, making a hissing sound, and a large amount of steam spread out, forming a layer of white mist!

The water array wall successfully resisted the high temperature of the head and protected Uchiha Yu from the harm of the flames.

Meanwhile, the rough guy on the other side wasn't so lucky.

He never expected that he would be attacked by his companions behind him. He was instantly engulfed by flames and screamed in pain in the fire, his voice filled with agony.

Almost at the same time as Kakuzu released his head seal, Kakashi also quickly formed a hand seal and released a water array wall to block the flames.

"Yu! Run! I'll hold you back!"

Knowing that the masked weirdo behind him was a strong enemy, Kakashi did not hesitate and quickly called out to Uchiha Yu to run away.

"Run?"

A moment of hesitation flashed across Uchiha Yu's face.
But this hesitation was cut off the moment his Yuhe and Weihe emerged from his body!

"I, Yu, would never abandon my teammates and live in vain!"

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"
