Born with a great love for the Uchiha

A burst of golden light emanated from the tip of his index finger, which was pointing at Kakuzu's left chest, and shifted slightly to the right.

[Light Escape·Light Fang]!

[Light Release] Chakra condensed into a beam of light, instantly traversing the distance between Uchiha Gen and Kakuzu at lightning speed, arriving in front of the latter.

Kakuzu's green eyes were almost blinded by the dazzling golden beam of light.

'So fast—'

Kakuzu tried to dodge, but the attack speed of [Light Release: Light Fang] was simply too fast.

The moment a thought flashed through his mind, a beam of light pierced through his right chest.

puff-

A golden beam of light pierced through the body, bringing with it some strange black and white substances.

A hole the size of a wrist appeared on Kakuzu's body.

Gen Uchiha could even see the desert scenery behind Kakuzu through this hole.

next second.

There was a "plop" sound.

Kakuzu's body lay supine in the desert, kicking up a cloud of dust, as if he were truly dead.

"?"

Uchiha Gen tilted his head to the side, and a huge question mark appeared faintly above his head.

What is old man Kakuzu trying to do at this moment?

This blatant attempt to scam an audience with Gen Uchiha only earns him a score of 9 at best.

Because he was a little speechless.

"I hit your right chest, not your left chest."

A burst of golden light emanated from Uchiha Gen's fingertips once more; he intended to "whip the corpse."

“You should be covering your right chest with your left hand now, instead of lying on the ground pretending to be a corpse.”

The second [Light Release: Light Fang] was launched.

The golden beam pierced through Kakuzu's body once again.

This time, the hit site was Kakuzu's right abdomen.

Within Gen Uchiha's [Skynet] perception, a ball of chakra also condensed on Kakuzu's right abdomen.

That is the location of one of Kakuzu's "hearts," and it is a water-type heart.

By the way.

Kakuzu's right chest—the part that Uchiha Gen had just pierced—contained an earth-attribute heart.

In the blink of an eye.

Kakuzu's two "hearts" were destroyed by Gen Uchiha.

He lost two lives as a result.

who am I?

Where am i?

What am I going to do?

Kakuzu lay flat on the desert, his mind momentarily blank.

Just because he said the wrong thing, the Fifth Hokage blew out both of his hearts.

He only has five hearts in total!

Is there any justice in this world?

"You like playing dead so much?"

Gen Uchiha frowned slightly, preparing to unleash his third [Light Release: Light Fang].

"Playing dead also requires timing."

puff-

The golden beam pierced through Kakuzu's body once again.

This time, it was Kakuzu's lightning-attribute heart that was destroyed.

Three of the five hearts were gone in an instant.

Once he came to his senses, Kakuzu dared not continue pretending to be dead.

His body surface suddenly burst forth with dense black threads, which coalesced into bundles, resembling jet-black octopus tentacles.

These black silk tentacles supported themselves on the sand, lifting Kakuzu's body and launching him from his original position like a mutated octopus, leaping to the other side.

at the same time.

A large number of black threads also emerged from Kakuzu's back, with two white masks with special patterns painted at the top of the black threads.

Two masks, one on the left and one on the right, hovered above Kakuzu's shoulders, and simultaneously opened their mouths.

"go to hell!"

Kakuzu roared, his eyes fixed on Uchiha Gen opposite him, his hands rapidly forming hand seals.

The two masks on his shoulders had a flame coming out of the left mask and a gust of wind coming out of the right mask.

【Combined Ninja Art: Flame Wind Chaos】!

Kakuzu simultaneously unleashed [Fire Release: Head Carving] and [Wind Release: Pressure Damage], combining Fire Release chakra with Wind Release chakra, with the wind fueling the fire.

In an instant.

Kakuzu then unleashed a vast sea of ​​fire!

Did it work?

Kakuzu looked at the raging sea of ​​fire ahead, hoping to use it to kill—injure—or force the Fifth Hokage to retreat.

But just then...

Another familiar golden beam shot out from the sea of ​​fire. The surging flames did not stop it in the slightest. Instead, it split in two like seawater being parted.

[Light Release: Light Fang] shot towards Kakuzu again, accurately hitting the fire-attribute mask on the latter's left shoulder.

Bang!

The fire-attribute mask was instantly blasted apart by the beam of light, turning into countless flying fragments.

Along with it, Kakuzu's fighting spirit also shattered.

Because he saw that Uchiha Gen completely ignored the sea of ​​fire of [Flame Wind Chaos] and walked out of the sea of ​​fire step by step.

The flames burned on the Fifth Hokage's divine robe, as if they were burning a layer of illusion.

Is it burning?

Like burning.

There's no way to win, what kind of monster is this...?

[Kamui], become intangible!

Gen Uchiha personally experienced the effects of [Kamui].

Say something.

It's really strong.

No wonder that guy Kenji could stir up trouble in the ninja world with just this space-time ninjutsu, and no one could do anything to him.

Gen Uchiha snapped out of his reverie and fixed his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan on Kakuzu across from him.

"I have destroyed four of your five masks."

Red light surged in Uchiha Gen's eyes, as if he were about to attack at the slightest provocation.

"Will the next strike shatter that wind-style mask made from Rasa's heart, or will it blow your head off?"

Kakuzu's heart skipped a beat.

Even though his Wind Release mask is destroyed, he can still live, as long as he finds a new heart.

But if you lose your head, you're really dead!

Having witnessed the attack speed of [Light Release: Light Fang], Kakuzu knew very well that he was completely unable to resist this type of ninjutsu.

In other words.

Whether Kakuzu can continue to live depends entirely on Gen Uchiha's decision.

This moment.

Kakuzu thought a lot and also abandoned a lot.

Before Uchiha Gen's final execution.

Kakuzu still chose to betray his comrades.

"The plan to assassinate the Kazekage was devised by Sasori of the Red Sand!"

Chapter 280 The Death of Kakuzu: A Used Glutton and Discarded!

Since you've chosen to betray your companions.

Then we should sell it completely.

Kakuzu spilled out all his experiences over the past few days, not daring to hide anything.

"...After the last internal meeting of Akatsuki, Hokage-sama, Sasori, Orochimaru, and I left Akatsuki..."
