Kakuzu snorted coldly and said, "As expected of a cunning brat."

Fire Release: Head Carving

"Wind Release: Pressure Damage".

Kakuzu didn't hold back at all, immediately combining ninjutsu to clear a path, with endless flames and gales sweeping in and instantly merging together.

A large part of the sky turned red, and a fierce wind, carrying flames, raged through the forest.

Uchiha Sora and Kakashi's expressions changed drastically; they hadn't expected such a large-scale ninjutsu to come right off the bat.

Uchiha Sora fired two smoke bombs in quick succession and fled frantically backward.

The smoke grenade exploded in the sky, the powerful impact and the resulting gale-force winds collided, creating a series of loud crackling sounds in the air.

The raging flames were also somewhat contained.

Kakashi forms hand seals:

"Earth Release: Earth Current Wall."

A thick wall adorned with a dog's head rose from the ground, blocking the remaining gale and flames behind it.

Kakashi certainly has a lot of leisure time; even while being ambushed, he didn't forget to carve a dog's head on the earthen wall. His pursuit of art has reached a certain level.

The three greatest artists in the ninja world are Kakashi Hatake's sculptural art, Sasori of the Red Sand's eternal art, and Deidara's explosive art.

Sora smiled and said, "Congratulations to Kakashi-sensei on receiving such a great honor. It's a pity that the narrator only talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk."

Kakashi frowned and said, "Be careful. The enemy who can use such a wide-range ninjutsu is probably not simple. They are likely people from the Akatsuki who ambushed Jiraiya."

Kakashi was clever; he guessed it right the first time. The arrival was Kakuzu and Hidan, the Akatsuki's so-called "immortal duo"—one a cunning schemer, the other an arrogant madman, and a White Zetsu sent to his death.

“Narrator, who are you calling an arrogance? I am the servant of the Evil God, and I will serve the Evil God for life,” Hidan said.

Sora chuckled and said, "Kakashi-sensei, the one who came was indeed an idiot. Hidan clearly doesn't think before he speaks. I just don't know what he means by 'immortality'."

Literally, even if Hidan's body is cut up, he can still be lively and energetic by stitching it back together.

Chapter 142 Literary Battle

Kakashi frowned. As expected, this guy was troublesome; he could be cut into pieces and still survive.

Hidan immediately became arrogant: "Haha, are you too scared to move? Going against me is a dead end."

[What a despicable fellow. He wanted to be a classy ninja before, but he immediately revealed his true colors. Kakuzu felt disdainful and embarrassed.]

As the flames and smoke dissipated, Kakuzu and Hidan were revealed.

Uchiha Sora and Kakashi stood on the big tree, gazing at the two.

"The immortal duo, one is truly immortal, but I wonder how the other becomes immortal," Kong said with amusement.

Then a voiceover was posted in the system space.

Kakuzu, a contemporary of the First Hokage, possesses immense strength and has fused with the Earth Grudge Fear, giving him five hearts.

Each heart represents a different chakra nature, allowing the user to easily unleash five different ninjutsu techniques. It requires five consecutive kills to completely eliminate the target.

Kakuzu's face turned ugly, and he cursed the narrator in his mind, "He's exposed all my information before the fight even started!"

"Hey, White Zetsu, do you have detailed information about Kakashi and Uchiha Sora? I remember the organization asked you to observe Uchiha Sora, so you should have gathered a lot of intelligence, right?" Hidan shouted.

White Zetsu emerged from the tree: "The time was too short. Uchiha Sora hasn't left Konoha recently, and my knowledge of him is limited to his poison gas bombs."

Kisame and Itachi once attempted to ambush Uchiha Sora, but the attempt ultimately failed, and I haven't had a chance to inquire about the specifics yet.

Hidan's forehead creased with a tic-tac-toe sign as he shouted, "Why didn't you say such important information sooner? Next time, even if it means being hated by the Jashin-sama, I'll sacrifice you!"

Kakuzu's gaze toward Uchiha Sora became much more serious. Uchiha Itachi and Kisame Hoshigaki were usually unassuming, but no one in the Akatsuki organization dared to underestimate them.

Itachi's genjutsu and Kisame's wide-range water jutsu are both nearly unbeatable. It's unexpected that Uchiha Sora could escape from their ambush.

With Kisame around, Kakuzu didn't think Itachi Uchiha would hold back.

"Go to hell."

Hidan roared, his face filled with madness, and swung his huge crescent scythe, creating a series of whistling sounds. Suddenly, the crescent scythe flew out of his hand.

The sharp sickle gleamed with a cold light.

Hidan was filled with excitement, having long forgotten about his so-called coolness. As long as he was stained with their blood, he could perform a sacrificial ritual to kill them.

Sora and Kakashi leaped into the air simultaneously, deviating from their original positions, and a smoke bomb was launched by Sora.

"Boom." The smoke bomb exploded in mid-air, and a large area of ​​fire quickly enveloped Hidan's figure, completely engulfing him.

"I heard from the narrator that you are immortal. I don't believe it. Do you have the guts to let me verify it?"

Kong said, his tone somewhat contemptuous.

"Damn it, your smoke bomb hurt me! I'm going to use you to appease the evil god!" Hidan roared, clearly enraged.

Uchiha Sora knew Hidan well: he was arrogant, verbose, rampant, and irritable.

He embodies almost all of humanity's flaws, and in Kong's view, his only virtue is his loyalty to the evil god, constantly thinking about offering sacrifices to the evil god.

"Shh."

The sharp crescent scythe broke through the flames of the explosion almost instantly, heading straight for Uchiha Sora.

Uchiha Sora gave Kakashi a hand signal, and they split up.

He believed that with Kakashi's strength, he could definitely hold his own against Kakuzu.

Uchiha Sora was fairly confident in dealing with Hidan alone, as Hidan's greatest strength was his immortality.

By using his immortality to launch surprise attacks and obtain the enemy's blood for sacrifice, Hidan is considered the easiest member of the Akatsuki to deal with once his full strength is understood.

Asuma died at Hidan's hands because he was completely unaware of the intelligence.

Uchiha Sora moved swiftly through the forest, with loud rumbling sounds and flying branches echoing behind him.

"Haha, Uchiha Sora, don't run away if you dare, let Hidan give you a slash."

Uchiha Kujo wouldn't say, "Hidan, if you've got the guts, stand still and let's have a verbal duel."

Hidan was completely bewildered, not knowing when the concept of "literary duel" had appeared in the ninja world.

Seeing Hidan's bewildered state through the system space, Sora said:

"I originally thought you were very knowledgeable in the Akatsuki organization, but it turns out you're just a country bumpkin. It seems I was really overestimating you."

The so-called "verbal duel" is when neither of us makes a move, I slash you first, then you slash me, and we see who gives in first.

"Didn't you claim to be immortal? How about a verbal duel with me, and we'll see who kills whom first?"

Uchiha Sora looked into the distance. By now, he had created distance between Kakashi and Kakuzu, making it impossible for Kakuzu to hear him.

White Zetsu poked its head out from a tall tree in the distance without making a sound. At most, White Zetsu's intelligence is on par with Hidan's.

"Hahahaha, Uchiha Sora, you really are a fool. I have the protection of the evil god. Fighting me with words will only lead to your death."

Uchiha Sora immediately became arrogant, then burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, Hidan, you want to dance too? Compared to me, you are like a firefly compared to the bright moon. Tremble, you ant!"

Harsh words rang in Hidan's ears, and veins bulged on his forehead.

"Uchiha Ku, you're asking for death! How dare you be more arrogant than a follower of the evil god like me? Since we're going to have a war of words, stand there and let Hidan cut you once."

[It seems Hidan isn't too stupid, but Sora is overly confident in his own intelligence.]

Sora stopped, turned around, and looked down at Hidan, who was rapidly approaching, and said, "If we're going to have a verbal duel, we need to agree on the rules."

The rules of the verbal duel are that the person being attacked cannot dodge, but can use any method to avoid it, such as creating clones, shadow clones, or substitutes.

It's not just about the ability to withstand attacks; it also tests the attacker's strength and eyesight.

"If you dare swear by an evil god, I can let you attack first. But I fear some people make grandiose promises, only to be all show and no substance."

Hidan was furious, wishing he could kill Uchiha Sora right now, for daring to call him a mere showpiece.

The King's Contempt was activated, and the gaze he had practiced countless times instantly turned to Hidan, as if containing endless mockery. Not only did it mock Hidan, but it also mocked the Jashin behind him.

Their eyes seemed to say: These are the so-called followers of evil gods. They're not all that great. They're a disgrace to evil gods.

Hidan was so enraged by a single glance from Uchiha Ku that he almost exploded.

"Uchiha Sora, I swear in the name of the evil god that I will kill you today and let the evil god witness our battle of wits. Anyone who dares to cheat will be punished by the evil god."

Sora nodded and said, "Hidan's words are like farts, but I believe in Jashin. If you dare to betray Jashin, I believe you will die a terrible death."

Hidan was somewhat confused. Which of the two of them was truly a loyal follower of the Jashin? Did Uchiha Sora intend to convert to the Jashin's fold?

Chapter 143 Heaven and Earth are Great, Evil God is the Greatest

"Come on, Hidan, your so-called evil god is nothing but an illusion. I once knew a fortune teller who said I was destined to reach the pinnacle of the ninja world."

"A guy like you, who only knows how to be clever and arrogant, is destined to be eliminated from the ninja world. Light will eventually triumph over evil!" Kong roared.

Uchiha Sora had long coveted Hidan. After absorbing the Sound Four, he developed three cursed seals on his body, allowing him to transform into three different forms.

Hidan is immortal; it's unknown what additional abilities one would gain by absorbing Hidan's power.

He was even a little impatient, because both the Death Possession Blood and the Immortal Body were almost unsolvable problems in the ninja world.

Hidan was furious. He had previously thought that if Uchiha Sora shared his belief in the evil god, he might be spared. It turned out he had been delusional.

"Uchiha Sora, since you're courting death, I'll grant your wish. Heaven and earth are vast, but the evil god is the greatest. You chose this path of intellectual combat yourself."

The three-month scythe was swung up, emitting a huge whistling sound, and slashed at the Uchiha in the air.

"Seal Three, open."
