Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 175 Legendary Figures Appear

In the blink of an eye.

A week has passed.

Li Yao had been waiting for the people from Yunyin to come and provide him with test subjects, but instead of the people from Yunyin, he was greeted by a legendary figure.

"I've secured the two kills for 30 million."

A man with green eyes and a mask covering his nose and mouth suddenly appeared behind Xiaoyezi, who was eating sushi. His black hand pierced straight into Xiaoyezi's back, reaching her heart.

"not good!"

Just as Xiao Yezi's back was pierced by the black hand, her body suddenly turned into a dense array of explosive tags, and Li Yao, who was opposite her, also turned into a pile of explosive tags at that moment.

The attacker instantly realized that he had been discovered and had fallen into the trap, so he immediately turned and jumped back.

But it was too late.

"Art is an explosion."

Boom!

[Remember the fastest online novel website: 1 ...

Halfway up the mountain, a huge explosion suddenly erupted, and the ground tremors could be felt within a radius of one kilometer.

The towering flames engulfed the entire mountainside.

When the fire and smoke cleared, half of the mountainside was gone, demonstrating its power.

"Wow, that's amazing! They're still alive?"

On the back of the clay bird in mid-air, Xiao Yezi glanced at the charred crater below. The power of the 20,000 explosive tags detonating at a fixed point was indeed enormous, but... she looked down at the foot of the mountain, where a man whose shirt was burned off and whose body was covered with various stitches was looking at them.

"No wonder he's the legendary man who fought the First Hokage with all his might and survived!"

Xiao Yezi sighed. Before, Li Yao said that a legendary man who had fought the First Hokage had come. She didn't believe it. It wasn't that she didn't believe such a person was still alive, but that she couldn't believe that someone who had fought the First Hokage head-on was still alive.

That man was hailed as the God of Ninjas.

But now that 20,000 explosive tags exploded at close range without harming the man at the foot of the mountain, Xiao Yezi was beginning to believe that the legend was true.

She had never heard of this legend before; she only learned about it after Li Yao mentioned it.

"Let's go, let's meet this legendary man."

Li Yao controlled the clay bird to fly down the mountain.

There, a man with five hearts inside his body awaits his study.

"waste!"

"What a waste!"

"That's all my money!"

Gazing at Li Yao and Xiao Yezi flying in from afar, all five hearts within Kakuzu's body pounded violently.

Judging from the power and range of the explosion just now.

Kakuzu instantly realized that at least 20,000 explosive tags must have detonated simultaneously to produce that kind of explosive power.

Now that the war has just ended, the price of detonating tags has not only not decreased, but has actually increased.

The price of a single detonating tag initially rose from 2,000 taels to 3,000 taels.

Twenty thousand explosive tags would cost sixty million taels of silver to buy.

That's 60 million taels of silver! That's twice the bounty on that girl's head! And it just exploded like that!

"This is all my money!"

Kakuzu couldn't help but wail inwardly again, all five of his hearts trembling.

Clearly, he already considered the explosive tags on Li Yao and Xiao Yezi as his own, and completely disregarded Li Yao and Xiao Yezi.

Of course, not taking him seriously doesn't mean he'll be careless during the fight.

"Clay Explosion Release, he's from the Iwagakure Explosion Squad."

Kakuzu glanced at Li Yao on the back of the approaching clay bird, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. The opponent's clay was countered by lightning release, so he needed to be careful of other methods.

As for that woman, Kakuzu only recognized her as a member of the Uzumaki clan, who was most likely skilled in sealing techniques; her other abilities were unknown.

Over the past year, all the ninjas who fought this woman have died, and no specific information has been released.

Kakuzu remained secretly on guard.

"Uncle, let me play for a while."

When they were 200 meters away from Kakuzu, Xiaoyezi turned her head and said.

If the older man makes a move, the man below definitely won't be able to withstand his illusion, which would be pointless. She wants to see how far she can fight against a Kage-level expert with her current strength.

"Can."

Li Yao nodded. With his current illusion magic, he could instantly reach a radius of 500 meters, so there was no need to worry about Xiao Yezi having any accidents.

Moreover... he doesn't only know illusion magic.

Two paper wings materialized from the shoulder blades on both sides of Xiao Yezi's back, carrying her towards Kakuzu.

"Paper Escape - Flying Paper Explosion Talisman Technique".

The densely packed paper explosive talismans shot towards Kakuzu like Gatling gun bullets.

"Paper... I see!"

A flicker of realization and...heartache flashed in Kakuzu's eyes. Clearly, the explosive tag he had just used was a special kind of escape technique, and he instantly felt like he had missed out on a fortune.

Snapped!

In the blink of an eye, Kakuzu reacted quickly. After years of being a ninja, he had already simplified all the ninjutsu he was familiar with into a single hand seal. At this moment, he clasped his hands together.

"Fire Release: Hardworking Head!"

A burst of scorching, violent flames surged from Kakuzu's mouth and flew into the sky, like a sea of ​​fire pouring down on Xiaoyezi and Li Yao.

As expected of a legendary man who fought against the First Hokage, his attack was a terrifying fire-style attack that covered an area of ​​several hundred meters in front of him.

This level of strength, no matter how weak it may seem compared to the First Hokage, is definitely Kage-level against ordinary ninjas.

Bang bang bang... Little Leaf's flying paper talisman was hit by the scorching flames midway and instantly exploded in mid-air.

The scorching flames surged toward her from all sides.

"That's amazing!"

Little Leaf was astonished. To be able to use ordinary Fire Release ninjutsu with such destructive power, Kakuzu was indeed a very strong ninja.

With just this one trick, Xiao Yezi believed it.

This person is indeed qualified to fight the First Hokage.

"Water Release-Water Crush Wave!"

Xiao Yezi quickly formed hand seals, and the water around her instantly condensed into a rotating water wave that spread outwards, blocking the surging sea of ​​fire.

With a whoosh, a massive torrent of water burst forth, instantly extinguishing the surging sea of ​​fire.

In mid-air, on the back of the clay bird, Li Yao remained calm. He didn't even need to form hand seals; with a thought, he could condense a torrent of water that surged into the sky, five times more violent than a sea of ​​fire, to rush back.

With a whoosh, the ground below was instantly flooded as if a torrential downpour had struck, and the entire forest was submerged by the water.

"His chakra reserves are truly enormous!"

Seeing how easily Xiao Yezi and Li Yao dealt with his fire jutsu, Kakuzu instantly realized that both of them had a lot of chakra and were also good at water jutsu. In addition, with the explosive clay and paper jutsu, the two should also be good at fire jutsu.

That brat who uses clay should also be skilled in earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of martial arts technique).

Both of them were flying in the air; I wonder how their physical skills are?

Kakuzu quickly deduced the information revealed by Li Yao and Xiao Yezi from their previous exchange.

During this period, intelligence was still paramount in ninja battles.

"Pull one person away first."

Kakuzu turned and fled, as fighting two enemies with unknown abilities at the same time was not a good option.

"Paper Release: Flying Bird Explosion Technique!"

After blocking Kakuzu's Fire Release, Little Leaf immediately made another move. This time, she conjured countless paper birds that flew towards Kakuzu from all directions, preventing him from being detonated by Kakuzu's wide-range attack ninjutsu in one go.

Boom!

Boom!

In an instant, explosions echoed throughout the forest.

Instead of using wide-range attacks, Kakuzu used taijutsu to dodge the explosive attacks of the Paper Bird.

Little Leaf flew swiftly toward Kakuzu, while simultaneously continuing to condense Paper Birds to attack him.

Just as the little leaf flew over a big tree, a monster, resembling black ink, wearing a monster mask, suddenly jumped towards the little leaf from behind a branch and opened its mouth wide.

Snapped!

In the distance, Kakuzu, who appears to be fleeing, claps his hands together in a gesture of respect.

"Wind Release - Pressure Damage!"

A condensed wind-escape high-pressure projectile was spat out from the black monster's mask and shot fiercely towards Xiao Yezi, who had no time to dodge.

"We succeeded!"

Upon seeing this, a smile flashed in Kakuzu's eyes.

However, after the wind-style high-pressure cannon pierced through the small leaf, no flesh or blood was thrown out. Instead, it turned into pieces of paper and flew towards the black monster.

"not good."

Kakuzu's eyes narrowed, realizing he was caught in a trap again, but the distance was too close to avoid it.

Bang bang bang... Violent explosions and flashes of light ripped through the sky.

Clang!

After the explosion, a shattered white monster mask fell to the ground from the air.

Little Leaf emerged from the ground not far away, reassembled its paper wings, and flew into the sky, smiling slightly at Kakuzu, who was looking solemn in the distance.

I want to trick her!

too naive!

Kakuzu used the smoke and dust from the explosion to free a heart and hide it behind a tree branch. He could hide from other people, but he couldn't escape Koyo's chakra senses.

Her chakra perception range isn't wide, but it's still about a kilometer in diameter, making it difficult for Kakuzu to catch her.

"The other party possesses chakra sensing abilities."

At this moment, Kakuzu also realized the power of Little Leaf.

When he was first discovered to have set a trap, he thought it was due to other sensory abilities, since chakra sensing abilities are actually quite rare, and each ninja village has only a few people with them.

Unexpected... But then again, if it weren't so troublesome, her head wouldn't be worth thirty million taels.

Kakuzu thought to himself.
