Rebuild the Land of Whirlpools, start with a massive army of the Thirteen Guardian Soldiers.

I sighed inwardly.

This money is really hard to earn!

He just wanted to make money, what's wrong with that?!

Seemingly sensing Kakuzu's grief and indignation, the masks took a step forward with a clattering sound.

Then they all rushed towards Gin Ichimaru!

A tall, broad-bodied creature with a yellow nose and a mask resembling a demon spewed a beam of lightning, slashing towards Gin Ichimaru!

Gin Ichimaru used Shunpo to create distance between himself and Gin, but soon a masked man with thin wings and blue facial markings appeared from behind him, landing on all fours like an animal.

It spat out a super-heavy, storm-like cannon!

A tornado compressed to a high density swept in.

It left behind large, dense cutting marks wherever it went!

"The Eighty One of the Binding Dao: Duan Kong!"

Buzz.

A transparent barrier intercepted the tornado.

Kaka-

In just a moment, the ground beneath the tornado cracked open, sending rock fragments flying everywhere!

A large, cracked pit was instantly formed.

This shows how powerful this move is!

"So strong!!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared intently at the battle scene projected on the screen.

I couldn't help but exclaimed,

Now, he finally saw a bit of the ability in Kakuzu to assassinate the First Hokage!

But based on these alone, they'd probably be easily defeated.

Could it be that Kakuzu's immortality allowed him to escape so easily after assassinating the First Hokage?!

The country of whirlpool.

Kakuzu's attack continues!

A round, plump creature with black lines opened its red lips, and extremely hot flames gathered around it.

Gin Ichimaru finally opened his eyes.

Just as it was about to unleash its flames, Gin Ichimaru softly uttered, "God-Slaying Spear: Dance of the Blades!"

hum-

Several beams of white-gray light shot out almost simultaneously!

Chi-

Four masked creatures, their bodies covered in holes.

Even Kakuzu was not immune!

But they seemed truly immortal, showing no expression even after suffering such severe injuries.

Only the black lines inside the body kept moving around.

He truly is immortal!

This sentence flashed through everyone's mind as they stood before the projector.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at Gin Ichimaru with a smile, trying to see the emotion on his face.

How do you kill someone who can't die?

This time, your Land of Whirlpools is finally going to crash and burn, isn't it?!

But soon, his smile froze on his face.

Suddenly, a black-lined creature with a hole in its mask shattered with a snap and a bang!

This mask, completely different from the other nine masks, instantly caught Gin Ichimaru's attention.

Kakuzu's body suddenly stiffened, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

But he quickly got back up.

However, it was this change that made Gin Ichimaru understand the principle behind Kakuzu's secret technique.

"I see, so you're not immortal after all..."

"Let me guess, how many lives do you have left?"

Gin Ichimaru smiled and counted the masked creatures, saying, "One, two, three... As long as we kill them all, that should be enough."

Kakuzu's expression changed slightly.

Seeing Gin Ichimaru raise the God Slayer Spear again, Kakuzu quickly retracted the masked creature back into his body.

Even the Earth Grudge Mode wasn't activated.

Once the weakness of the Earth Grudge Fear is known, killing him would be a piece of cake with the extremely fast speed of Gin Ichimaru's sword!

Gin Ichimaru smiled and said, "Are you scared?"

Kakuzu remained silent.

If you die, you won't make any money.

From now on, we can only gamble with our lives!

Two lives for one smile!

When Gin Ichimaru suddenly revealed Kakuzu's secret, the people in front of the projection suddenly realized what was going on.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face turned ashen.

We finally had a chance to see the Land of Whirlpools fail, but now it seems like things have gone far away again.

Whoop!

Countless black lines surged from Kakuzu's body, obscuring Gin Ichimaru's vision.

He manipulated the black threads and instantly fled towards the edge of the Whirlpool Kingdom!

"Ran?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was dumbfounded. This ninja who had once tried to assassinate the First Hokage had just escaped?

That's so spineless!

Even the two Libras, Onoki and the Third Kazekage, were taken aback.

Where did your courage to assassinate the God of Ninjas go?

If the horns knew what they were thinking.

I will definitely tell them that he was even less spineless when he tried to assassinate the First Hokage!

Gin Ichimaru opened his eyes and looked at Kakuzu's back, his eyes filled with cold killing intent.

"You think you have two chances?"

"Shoot it! God-Slaying Gun!!"

Kakuzu, who was fleeing, suddenly stopped, his eyes filled with horror!

"How...is this possible?!"

Even though the blow didn't pierce either of his hearts, why did the suffocating feeling of death overwhelm him?!

The next moment, Gin Ichimaru retrieved the God-Slaying Spear.

Kakuzu's eyes widened, his pupils dilating.

　His body was actually dissolving!

"To die with a hole in your chest, you should get what you wanted!"

Chapter 90: A mere Ice Release technique is not even one ten-thousandth as good as the Four-Tails!

The Land of Whirlpools, the Seireitei.

The black lines surrounding Kakuzu suddenly snapped.

His current appearance was revealed.

Kakuzu lowered his head, staring in disbelief at his chest.

A cavity slowly expanded.

His body dissipated little by little, like ashes.

He tried his best to manipulate the black lines, attempting to mend his wounds.

But no matter how hard he tried, it was all in vain.
