I'm in Konoha, and I started with Ashura Chakra.

Chapter 84 The Omnipotent and Unsolvable Wood Release: The Immortal Duo is Dead

The space inside the barrier wasn't large, but each of Yagyu's wood clones possessed considerable chakra, and the power of their Water Release techniques was no less than that of Yagyu's main body.

The surging waves not only instantly submerged Kakuzu, who hadn't yet had time to use Earth Grudge Fear to unleash the masked monster behind him and attempt to use a composite ninjutsu to destroy the forest, but also filled the space of the Four Purple Flame Array at an extremely fast speed.

In the blink of an eye, the rectangular barrier formed by the Four Purple Flame Array transformed into a pool filled with water.

If the barrier weren't so sturdy, and if the purple, transparent barrier didn't possess the power of flames and hadn't begun evaporating the water, it would probably have already broken through.

Submerged by the waves, Kakuzu's body was not only struck by the water, but he also lost the ability to move and escape.

However, one of his five hearts is a masked monster formed from a heart, possessing extremely powerful Water Release nature transformations.

Kakuzu, who did not separate his heart, possessed excellent water-style skills, so he was not instantly rendered unable to fight.

If the opponent is just Yagyu's wooden clone, Kakuzu is even confident that he can turn the tables and kill him.

However, the next second, a scene that filled Kakuzu with despair still appeared.

The trees, which were also shrouded in the barrier, seemed to have been given a spirit by the creator and suddenly came to life.

Branches, like tentacles, came bounding towards Kakuzu.

Kakuzu uses Water Release: Nature Transformation, allowing him to dodge and weave with incredible agility in the water, much like a swordfish.

But the trees kept growing branches, and those branches grew a lot of tiny vines, which soon filled the pond like aquatic plants.

Kakuzu, who didn't have 360-degree X-ray vision, was only focused on dodging the branches and vines in front of him and to his left and right. In a moment of carelessness, he was tied up from behind by a vine.

At that moment, Kakuzu's eyes widened, and he knew he was doomed.

really……

A large number of vines and branches quickly bound Kakuzu into a rice dumpling shape.

Kakuzu felt his chakra rapidly draining away, and he quickly became extremely weak.

The vines and branches binding his body became even stronger.

In just a few breaths, Kakuzu, whose chakra reserves were at least those of an elite Jonin, had his chakra completely drained.

This is the most unbeatable ability of Wood Release, and the main reason why Hashirama Senju alone could make the ninja world obedient and dare not start a war!

In the face of Wood Release, the so-called human wave tactics are utterly insignificant.

To be precise, the more enemies there are, the stronger the Wood Release technique becomes.

With just one move, Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees, all ninjas except those of the flying type were filled with despair.

The entire forest was formed from the chakra of Hashirama Senju.

In this forest, Hashirama Senju possessed a god-like perspective and could manipulate all trees to perform Wood Release ninjutsu.

Even if the enemy can fly or burrow underground, Hashirama Senju can manipulate the roots of trees underground, or turn trees into wooden dragons to attack them.

The enemy's Five Elements Escape Techniques are completely ineffective against the Advent of the Tree World. The chakra within all the escape techniques is absorbed by the tree branches, which actually amplifies the power of the Advent of the Tree World.

Those enemies bound by tree branches will form little dumplings, continuing to supply chakra to the forest and making the trees more resilient.

This isn't even Hashirama Senju's serious mode.

If Hashirama Senju wanted to end the war quickly, he could make the trees grow red flowers that release paralyzing pollen. Even a Five Kage-level powerhouse would lose his fighting ability if he inhaled a little of it. This is an upgraded version of Flower and Tree World Advent.

Even if someone is of equal strength to him, they will be severely restrained by such an enemy, let alone someone weaker than him.

When all the ninjas in the entire ninja world combined are no match for him, then this person is no different from a god.

This is why Hashirama Senju is known as the God of Shinobi!

His Wood Release is also an all-around Kekkei Genkai that combines offense, defense, support, sealing, and range.

That's why the Konoha leadership secretly conducted Wood Release experiments, hoping to create a second Wood Release ninja in Konoha.

If Konoha produces a second Wood Release ninja with the ability to absorb chakra, then they will no longer fear the Jinchuriki of rival ninja villages.

Like the Sharingan, Wood Release is also the nemesis of Tailed Beasts.

*Pfft pfft pfft...*

After the branches and vines absorbed Kakuzu's chakra, they automatically untied themselves.

Freed from his restraints, Kakuzu floated in the pool.

Just as he was drowning, six sharp branches attacked again, piercing Kakuzu's head and his five hearts.

The sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh rang out, and the masks on Kakuzu's back shattered one by one.

Swah——

As Kakuzu fell silent, a blue and white light suddenly emanated from his body.

More than a dozen beams of light shot out, forming a dozen or so blue and white orbs of light that floated in the water, visible only to Yagyu.

Splash...

Upon seeing that Kakuzu had lost consciousness, the wooden clone immediately deactivated the Four Purple Flame Formation.

Countless tons of water immediately submerged the surrounding trees.

The water level was so high that it reached almost two-thirds of the tree trunk.

But soon, the water flowed into the earth and slowly disappeared.

Except for one wood clone, all the other wood clones disintegrated on their own, turning into small trees.

The remaining wooden clone instantly appeared beside Kakuzu's corpse, picking it up with a slightly disgusted expression.

There's no way around it; Kakuzu's current appearance is just too ugly and disgusting.

The mask on his body shattered completely, and with the death of his main body, all the seams on his body burst open, overflowing with tentacles formed from countless black blood vessels. This was the forbidden technique of Takigakure: Earth Grudge Fear.

Perhaps because they had just died, these vascular tentacles were still wriggling slightly.

Seeing the orbs of light that had already been automatically picked up and were flying towards the main body, the wooden clone suddenly prayed that there wouldn't be any Earth Grudges among these orbs.

Although this thing can prolong life, Yagyu really doesn't want to become a monster like Kakuzu.

Therefore, if the Earth Grudge is unleashed, it is impossible for Yagyu to fuse with it.

In this way, the ball of light will only occupy the space in the backpack.

------

Inside a steel-like building in Amegakure, the Land of Rain.

At the very moment Kakuzu lost his breath, Nagato, who was in a rather enclosed space with dim lighting, suddenly opened his Rinnegan with its purple ripples.

Noticing his change, Konan, who had been staying by his side, thought something was wrong with his health and asked worriedly, "Nagato, are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm fine, but..."

Nagato shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Something must have happened to Kakuzu!"

"Something happened?"

Xiao Nan asked, slightly taken aback, "What happened?"

"I don't know, I just sensed his chakra disappearing through the ring."

Nagato formed a mudra with his hands, as if sensing something, then opened his eyes and said, "Even the chakra he stored in the ring has disappeared, and Hidan's chakra is also changing. They must have encountered a powerful enemy. Kakuzu is very likely dead."

"Could it be that his arm is broken?"

Konan slowly said, "Kakuto has five hearts and five chakra nature transformations. Apart from you, there are very few people in this ninja world who can kill him."

"have no idea."

Nagato shook his head, then continued forming hand seals with his eyes closed: "Their location is in the Land of Birds. I'll send Zetsu there to check..."

Before he could finish speaking, Nagato opened his eyes again and said in a deep voice, "Hidan's chakra has also disappeared."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Nan's expression finally changed drastically, and she exclaimed, "They wouldn't have betrayed us, would they?"

"No, Hidan's chakra disappeared slowly."

Nagato's face was grim as he said, "He was probably slowly killed. The other party must have discovered his immortality and destroyed his body with magic."

"I'll go and see for myself."

Xiao Nan was about to turn and leave.

"No, let Jue go and observe first."

Nagato immediately stopped him, saying, "The fact that the other party was able to kill Kakuzu and Hidan in such a short time means they must be a big shot in the ninja world. Now is not the time for you to reveal your identity."

"I see."

As if remembering something, Xiao Nan's face darkened. "Kakuto is our finance manager. Hopefully, he didn't bring the rolls containing our funds with him this time."

"Go and get it checked."

"it is good."

------

Just as Nagato said, Hidan is dead, and he was killed slowly.

Excluding the Black and White Zetsu, who have almost no combat ability, the weakest member of the Akatsuki organization, and also the most dangerous member, is Hidan.

Once Hidan draws blood and performs the ritual, the opponent is almost certain to die unless they possess special abilities and methods.

Of course, this curse-killing ability definitely has an upper limit.

But where is the upper limit? Yagyu doesn't know, nor is he willing to try.

Fearing that Hinata and the other girls would be injured by Hidan, he started with Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees, and then used his almost unbeatable tactic.

Tree World Descent + Four Purple Flame Arrays + Great Explosive Water Wave!

Without the means to escape the barrier, or without the power to break it, being trapped by Yagyu's barrier is basically a death sentence.

Kakuzu was mercilessly killed by Yagyu before he could even use Earth Grudge Fear or Complex Ninjutsu.

After defeating Kakuzu, Yagyu didn't wait for the automatically picked-up orb of light to arrive before teleporting back to Team 3 and Team 8.

Meanwhile, it was still Xiao Li's performance show.

Hidan was hit by Lee's Hira Renka, breaking his skull and neck, but he still didn't die.

So, without hesitation, Lee opened the first gate of the Eight Gates to counteract the side effects of the Front Lotus Flower, increasing his speed to 100%. Then, he slowly increased the number of gates, just like when he dealt with Gaara, and was beaten up by Hidan like a punching bag.

Unlike Gaara, who possesses the Sand Armor, Hidan, who prefers to trade blows in battle and begins to perform rituals once he obtains blood, has very average physical skills.

If it weren't for fear of his abilities, Choji Akimichi in the original story could have easily beaten him up.

Facing the faster and stronger Lee, Hidan, without the Bloodthirsty Three-Month Scythe, can only take a beating.

However, when Lee opened the fourth gate and used the Reverse Lotus to slam Hidan into the ground, creating a huge crater filled with dust and mist.

Hidan was still alive, and soon crawled out of the pit, his clothes tattered and his face covered in blood. He glared at the incapacitated Rock Lee and sneered, "Kid, you're done, now it's my turn!"

After saying that, Hidan got up and pounced on Rock Lee like a mad dog. Rock Lee could barely stand and could no longer move at high speed, and even his walking was unsteady.

Hidan no longer intended to retrieve the Bloodstained Three-Month Scythe; instead, he planned to tear a piece of flesh from Rock Lee and begin the ceremony directly.

Seeing this, Neji Hyuga and the others, who had been unable to intervene, immediately tried to stop it.

Just then, a tree branch burst from the ground, binding Hidan's feet like a tentacle, and then coiling around his body like a snake.

"I can't move... I can't move..."

Hidan, his body bound, spoke with difficulty.

"It's Wood Release! Yagyu-kun is back!" Hinata exclaimed with delight.

Hyuga Neji and the others turned around and looked at the forest behind them, only now having time to feel the shock of the earthquake.

"So that's how it is. This is the trump card that Yagyu has been hiding all along?"

Aburame Shino pretended to be calm, but her voice trembled slightly.

With veins bulging at his temples, Hyuga Neji's eyes trembled as he said, "Such a range, such a level of chakra... is this the bloodline limit of the God of Shinobi?"

"Gurgle..."

Tian Tian swallowed hard, too shocked to speak.

Just like Naruto, she felt like her worldview had shattered.

Her strongest move is still throwing ninja tools, with a range similar to some ordinary ninjutsu.

The result was that her junior, who was a year younger than her, was able to create a forest, which would leave anyone dumbfounded.

Tenten, who had never seen a technique of this scale since birth, felt that she and Yagyu were from completely different worlds.

At that moment, Yagyu had already teleported to Hidan, who was immobilized by Wood Release: Silent Binding Technique.

Ignoring Hidan's angry glare, Yagyu formed a hand seal with one hand.

*Pfft*

The next second, a sharp branch burst from the ground and pierced Hidan's head.

"You can't kill me..."

The intense pain prevented him from killing Hidan, and even made him utter a sarcastic remark.

But the next second, Hidan's eyes widened.

His face and the skin all over his body were visibly drying out, as if all the moisture in his body had been sucked out.

This is true.

The branch from Yagyu not only drained Hidan's chakra, but also completely drained all the nutrients in his body.

Soon after, Hidan's body lost all function and he died, turning into a dried-up corpse.

Hidan's immortality is not true immortality.

After all, even the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and Six Paths level powerhouses do not possess true immortality, so how could Hidan, who is not even a Kage level, possibly have such an ability?

In the original story, he was buried alive and starved to death due to lack of nutrition.

Now that he's become a dried-up corpse, how could he possibly still be alive?

With Hidan's death, the Akatsuki's immortal duo is also dead!
