The benefits of spiritual enhancement are not limited to the Death God's power system.
In the ninja power system, a strong spirit means a powerful spiritification technique and a strong spiritual energy.
His powerful spiritual energy, in turn, nourished his chakra.
While it's not as unreasonable as stepping on your right foot with your left to ascend to heaven...
However, the combination of various factors did indeed push his strength up significantly in a short period of time!
……
Having spent nearly two months in and out of the Soul Society, Shiranui Sho almost forgot that she still had a place in Konoha.
The next morning, he changed into his ANBU gear and left Konoha with three subordinates.
The four of them moved at a steady pace through the dense forest.
Like the former "Wolf" captain, Shiranui Sho once again briefly explained the mission details and combat plan to her subordinates.
"The mission is to capture a spy, and kill him on the spot if necessary."
"The target is a woman, about 25 years old, with long black hair, a slender build, and about 1.6 meters tall."
"During her spy mission in Konoha, she feigned romantic relationships with members of the Barrier Squad to steal classified information such as key deployment points of the defensive barrier and duty rosters."
"Currently, the members of the barrier team have been detained and interrogated, while the target has fled Konoha with classified information."
"According to intelligence, the target is a Chunin-level ninja, but we cannot rule out the possibility of backup from comrades. Do not let your guard down!"
"Yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the three subordinates responded in hushed tones.
They had great faith in their class monitor, who looked younger than them.
The underworld is not a place for connections or backdoors.
If you can reach the corresponding position, you have the corresponding strength; otherwise, you're just throwing your life away.
The experience of working together on missions over a period of time also filled them with joy and gratitude.
……
Under the big tree.
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled patterns on the tall man's black robe.
The man's headband, bearing the name of the Takigakure village, had a scratch on it, and the lower half of his face was covered by a mask.
He stared intently at the wad of cash in his hand, counting it rapidly, his eyes seemingly gleaming with greed.
After finishing the inventory, Kakuzu frowned and looked coldly at the beautiful woman in front of him.
"The agreed-upon reward was 200,000 taels, but 50,000 taels are missing."
The beautiful woman cursed inwardly, but a provocative smile appeared on her face.
She tugged at her clothes with her slender hands, bringing her arms together to reveal the cleavage of her chest.
"Would you like to pay in another way?"
She fled Konoha in haste; she didn't have that much cash on her.
Jiao remained unmoved, his green pupils already faintly radiating killing intent.
You effeminate woman, how dare you equate yourself with cute little money!
The chilling aura made the woman's face turn pale, and she quickly took two steps back and shouted.
“I don’t have enough with me, but my companions will come to meet me. As long as you escort me to the meeting place, I will pay you an extra 100,000 taels!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Kakuzu's anger melted away like cream.
His tone softened, and he confirmed again, "That's three hundred thousand taels, not a penny less."
"Uh-huh!"
The beautiful woman nodded repeatedly and urged, "When are we setting off? I'm afraid the Hidden Leaf Village's Anbu will catch up with us."
"The Dark Division is nothing special."
Kakuzu said calmly, "Back in the day, I assassinated the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju. At that time, the Anbu didn't even exist yet."
The beautiful woman nodded slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
She didn't know if what the other person said was bragging or true.
But at least she hired him specifically because of his reputation at the exchange.
Hiring her to escape the pursuit of Konoha's ANBU cost her a full 300,000 taels, equivalent to the reward for an A-rank mission.
Hopefully, there's a reason why it's expensive.
The beautiful woman comforted herself in this way.
But the next second.
"I've been in Konoha for over ten years, how come I've never heard of this?"
The boy's voice, tinged with a hint of amusement, suddenly rang out.
"A hidden connection..."
In the distance, deep within the dense forest, the oppressive darkness surged forth like a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey!
In an instant, it was as if the sky had fallen.
“What is that…”
Kakuzu frowned slightly, shielding his patron behind him as he formed a hand seal.
"Wind Release: Overpower!!"
A high-pressure hurricane was expelled from his mouth, forming a vortex storm in front of him, temporarily blocking the black smoke for a moment.
Noticing that the storm was gradually being swallowed up, Kakuzu's expression changed, and he continued to form hand seals.
Fire Release: Head Hardening!
The flames he exhaled gathered into a sea of fire, surging forward in raging torrents.
The fire, aided by the wind, formed a barrier of flames that blocked out the darkness.
Kakuzu was not exaggerating.
He was already quite talented, and he had accumulated experience over several decades.
Most importantly, he also possesses a secret technique called "Earth Grudge".
Each of his five hearts possesses a unique chakra nature, allowing him to utilize five different esoteric techniques and unleash their full power.
Kakuzu, a rogue ninja from Takigakure, is a member of the Akatsuki organization.
His appearance here is not surprising.
During this period, he wandered around the ninja world, earning money by taking heads of people with bounties, and also accepted some jobs.
Recalling Kakuzu's information, Shiranui Sho's heart stirred. He withdrew the darkness and gathered it into the standard ANBU katana in his hand.
He took a few steps forward, the cold blade swirling with dark, wispy smoke, and slashed towards Kakuzu.
This strike embodies the power he cultivated through twenty days of arduous training at the True Central Spiritual Arts Academy.
A sharp glint of light flashed into Kakuzu's field of vision, and he seemed unable to react, standing there stunned.
The sound of flesh being pierced could be clearly heard in the quiet jungle.
Kakuzu looked at Shiranui Sou in astonishment.
“I remember now, you…you are…”
Before he could finish speaking, his tall body crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Chapter 103: Four Hearts Destroyed in Succession!
Behind her, the beautiful woman's face turned ashen as she watched her ninja, whom she had hired at great expense, being pierced through the heart.
Dude, didn't you try to assassinate the First Hokage?!
"Squad Leader An, is the battle over?"
Behind him, three of his secret agents relaxed their guard and were about to step forward.
But the next second.
A large hole was torn open in the chest where the heart was located, and the abdomen suddenly bulged.
In the astonished gaze of Xing Suo.
A blinding bolt of lightning pierced through the black robe that concealed his body, shooting straight towards Shiranui Sou's brow.
If this blow hits, the entire skull will be reduced to charcoal.
Shiranui Xiao's lips curled into a playful smile.
He raised his right hand, and the heavy darkness met him head-on.
"Dark water!"
A mere thunderbolt... just smash it!
puff--
The palm pierces through the heart.
The broken black line exploded in Shiranui Sho's palm, only to be swallowed by darkness in an instant.
Kakuzu, who had been feigning death, suddenly narrowed his eyes, sprang up to create distance, landed, and turned around.
Two large holes had appeared in the black robe that covered his body, and black lines were scattered down the robe and mixed into the soil.
Through the large hole in the black robe, one could vaguely see countless black lines still wriggling inside.
"The Shadow of Konoha, you actually know my technique?"
Kakuzu's brows were furrowed, his face so dark it seemed to drip water, and his voice was deep and sinister.
"Is this my nickname?"
Shiranui Sho paused slightly, slowing down her attempt to press her advantage.
He glanced at the beautiful woman who was taking the opportunity to flee into the distance, and gave his subordinates a wink.
The three immediately understood and quickly gave chase.
Kakuzu was about to stop him, but Shiranui Sho blocked his way with her sword, so he could only stand there with his fists clenched.
"Wherever it went, all the light vanished, leaving only boundless darkness..."
Kakuzu snorted coldly, his eerie green eyes scanning Shiranui Sho up and down.
"Seeing you, I realize that the descriptions circulating in the ninja world are not exaggerated."
"But I didn't expect you to be just a teenager."
Konoha is truly blessed by the Sage of Six Paths, producing a constant stream of geniuses...
Kakuzu cursed inwardly.
He knew that he most likely wouldn't receive the remaining 150,000 yuan today.
"It's not too bad who gave it to me."
Suddenly, Shiranui Sou's voice echoed behind Kakuzu.
stab-
The blade pierced the black robe once more, penetrating Kakuzu's third heart.
Kakuzu stared in astonishment at the blade protruding from his chest, his pupils suddenly contracting, and his two remaining hearts pounded violently in shock.
His body suddenly exploded, and black lines condensed into tentacles connecting his torso and limbs.
The black robe was torn, truly revealing the body hidden beneath.
Black tentacles extend from its abdomen, arms, and back, connecting to two white masks with gaping mouths.
