"Tobirama Senju's technique! When!?"
A chill ran through him, and the black tentacles trembled violently and unconsciously due to his unease.
They can appear behind him in an instant.
He could only think of one person who could use such a technique!
"It seems that not much of my information has been leaked."
With a flick of her wrist, Shiranui Sho caused the black substance from the Earth Grudge to fall off the tip of her blade.
When he destroyed Kakuzu's second heart, he casually left behind the Flying Thunder God Technique formula.
Looking at Kakuzu's solemn expression, Shiranui Sho grinned.
Intelligence is also part of the battle.
He knew everything about Kakuzu, but Kakuzu had only heard others describe his Hidden Fruit abilities.
Furthermore, no other information, such as that about the Flying Thunder God, is known.
After several clashes, Kakuzu's heart had been destroyed in three places.
"I am immortal, you can't kill me!"
Kakuzu tried to appear calm, wanting to put on a show of bravado.
He traveled the ninja world for decades, yet he never revealed a single detail about the secret technique, Earth Grudge Fear.
This secret technique originated from Takigakure, but it was completely lost after he stole it.
Those who knew this secret technique were all killed when he betrayed the village.
"Let me guess how many lives you have left."
Kakuzu's fierce yet cowardly demeanor amused Shiranui Sho, who slowly extended the five fingers of his right hand.
Then, he brought his thumb, little finger, and ring finger together, making a "two" shape.
"I bet you have two lives left."
He said softly.
Upon hearing this, Kakuzu's black tentacles stopped moving, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Shiranui Sho's words completely shattered his wishful thinking.
He gritted his teeth and said, "As expected, you know the technique 'Earthly Grudge'!"
At this point, asking the other party where they got the information is completely meaningless.
The sense of crisis from losing three hearts caused him great distress.
"Wind Release: Overpower!!"
Fire Release: Head Hardening!
Kakuzu had no intention of escaping.
As a ninja of the same era as Tobirama Senju, he knew that running away was pointless for the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Furthermore, he didn't think he needed to escape!
His remaining two hearts correspond precisely to the chakra properties of Wind Release and Fire Release, respectively.
The sea of fire merged with the storm, and the rolling heat waves hit us, making the surrounding air scorching!
With Kakuzu facing a life-or-death situation, he no longer held back in the slightest, and the power of his ninjutsu undoubtedly reached Kage level.
The last time I saw a fire jutsu of this caliber was during the Second Shinobi World War, when I witnessed the Third Hokage use it.
"You're taking this seriously."
Seeing this, Shiranui Sou's eyes narrowed, and she took it seriously as well.
"Dark acupoints!!!"
The deep darkness spread out, as if transforming into a dark and gloomy sea.
He has never stopped training his fruit abilities, and to this day, the size of his hidden caves is far greater than before.
Sand, gravel, trees, poisonous insects, flames...
Everything that came near was drawn by an irresistible gravitational pull and fell into the deep darkness.
The raging inferno twisted and stagnated under the pull of darkness, only to be mercilessly extinguished upon touching the ground.
"Kid! I'll take your heart!"
"Secret Technique: Heart Stealing!!"
Accompanied by a chilling killing intent, the black tentacles, which had converged and gathered, aimed straight for Shiranui Sou's heart.
Shiranui Sou neither dodged nor avoided, a faint fluorescent light flashing in her eyes.
Heart.
The destruction of Kakuzu's first heart was due to Kakuzu's excessive reliance on Jigenyu.
Destroying the second heart was something Kakuzu hadn't anticipated—he knew the secret of the Earth Grudge.
The third one is that Kakuzu was unaware that the Flying Thunder God Technique had reappeared in the ninja world.
So, the fourth one...
stab-
Ten meters away from Shiranui Sou, Kakuzu stood in a lunge position, the Earth Grudge Tentacles behind him still spreading forward.
The black tentacles resemble a predatory snake, and Shiranui Sho's heart is the prey it has locked onto.
However, at this very moment...
The Earthly Grudge's attempt to capture the heart came to an abrupt halt.
Kakuzu stared blankly at his heart, which had been pierced by something without warning, his face trembling slightly, not even having time to show a look of astonishment.
When?
And... how is that possible?
Ahead, Shiranui Sou, wearing an eagle-beak mask, raised her chin with a radiant expression.
"Kakuzu, how does it feel to have one heart left?"
"Kid, how did you do that?"
Kakuzu's stiff body slowly relaxed, and the Earth Grudge Tentacles that had been extending forward from behind him were all withdrawn.
The damage to the first three hearts was still traceable.
The fourth heart was damaged without any warning.
If you had to find a word to describe his feelings, it would be neither anger nor despair.
That's absurd!
Upon hearing this, Shiranui Sho merely smiled slightly, not foolish enough to reveal her trump card.
Kakuzu could never have imagined that not only the Flying Thunder God Technique, but also the Spirit Transformation Technique would reappear in the ninja world.
Furthermore, the same person possesses both forbidden techniques!
Just as Kakuzu's face was so gloomy it seemed like water could drip from it, and he thought what followed was a final, all-out battle, Shiranui Sho did not continue to attack.
Instead, he stroked his chin and calmly looked at Kakuzu.
"Two options."
Chapter 104 Kakuzu: Hello, Boss!
"What did you say?"
Kakuzu's mind went blank for a moment, then he frowned after regaining his composure.
Shiranui Sou's lips curled slightly beneath her mask as she explained.
"Look, you're a rogue ninja from Takigakure, you have nothing to do with Konoha. We're only temporarily enemies because we accepted a request from that spy."
"But in essence, we're not in a life-or-death relationship, are we?"
"...That's right."
Kakuzu thought again of the final payment that could never be settled, and his last remaining heart ached slightly.
However, he didn't want to fight anymore.
It's not worth dying here for a mission.
After several encounters, only one heart remained; this was the first time he had encountered such a situation since learning to resent the earth.
To be honest, he couldn't help but feel fear.
Of course, his fear wasn't directed at death, but rather at the small savings account that might be separated from him forever.
"Then I have two options, you can listen to them."
Seeing that Kakuzu was listening intently, Shiranui continued speaking.
"First, I've already destroyed four of your hearts. If I stop now, I'll be at a disadvantage."
"How about I just blow out your last heart, then take your head and exchange it for gold to make some extra money?"
"you!"
Kakuzu suddenly flew into a rage, a fierce glint flashing in his green pupils.
He got angry and lashed out.
Because after thinking it over, he realized that what the other person said did make sense.
Putting yourself in his shoes, he would never let the bounty, which was already four-fifths complete, disappear.
Shiranui Sho then elaborated on another option.
"Second, since you accept employment, why not accept mine and do my work?"
"you?"
Kakuzu scoffed, "The Hidden Leaf Village's Anbu might not be able to afford to hire me."
"If you want me to work for free, you'd better give up that idea now..."
"I'd rather die than work for free!!"
After Kakuzu finished speaking, Shiranui Akira couldn't help but remain silent for a few seconds.
For the first time since they met and fought, he felt Kakuzu's unwavering ninja way.
"Who said you were working for free?"
Shiranui Sho grinned, "Working in the Anbu is just something I do out of interest."
"I have other ways to make money!"
He reached into his ninja tool pouch and a few gold beans fell into his palm.
The golden beans were tossed up and down, gleaming brilliantly in the sunlight, and Kakuzu's gaze followed them up and down in a daze.
From the moment Shiranui Sho formed "Konoha" in Alabasta, the word "poverty" was destined to be foreign to him.
Gold is a hard currency in most parts of the world.
"Hello boss, let's talk about hiring."
Kakuzu retracted all the earth grudges on his body and spoke in an unprecedentedly gentle tone.
He was reflecting on his words and realized that he had indeed spoken a bit too loudly.
As a qualified employee, he vowed to change.
"it is good."
Shiranui Sou smiled with satisfaction.
He liked this feeling of turning hostility into friendship.
