I'm doing Jujutsu Kaisen in the ninja world.

Shinji didn't believe in the "no harm from smoke" rule and chased after them without saying a word, carrying his guillotine.

At that moment, a large amount of black lines gushed out, not only tearing up the entire ruins, but also forcing Shinji, who was chasing after them, to retreat.

Upon closer inspection, Kakuzu had already entered the Earth Grudge Mode. Terrifying black lines danced wildly in the air as if they were alive, completely concealing and covering Kakuzu's body.

However, through the gap, Shinji noticed that Kakuzu's left arm had a cut, and black thread was quickly stitching it up.

Undoubtedly, his previous strike had wounded his opponent, but it hadn't completely broken through their defenses.

This result made him feel much more relaxed.

"You rude brat, I've reserved your heart. Die!"

Forced to use his true abilities in just two rounds, Kakuzu was enraged. Black lines erupted from his back, intertwining and forming eight extra 'hands and feet' to support his movement and attacks.

Kakuzu is like Doctor Octopus from the Spider-Man movies, controlling a giant beam of black threads to smash down on Shinji.

Bang!

The ground was immediately smashed into a large crater.

And this is just the beginning.

Thud! Thud! Thud! ...

Shinji moved swiftly, dodging each falling 'fist' with incredible speed.

Kakuzu seemed to have noticed this awkward problem as well, so he gritted his teeth and decisively 'released' the two large bundles of black threads, turning them into a sky full of black threads to restrain them.

Shinji slashed left and right a few times, realizing that this thing was going to go on and on. He glanced at Konan, who had already created some distance between them, and immediately activated his sword technique!

Breaking stealth with a single strike!

As all seven killing lamps on the decapitation blade were activated, they transformed into a special energy that enveloped it.

Shinji vanished from his spot in the blink of an eye, then teleported behind Kakuzu like a ghost.

Throughout the entire process, neither Kakuzu nor Minami were able to react.

But the moment Shinji swung his sword, Kakuzu immediately felt a strong tearing sensation coming from behind him, and at the same time Konan shouted, "Behind you!"

"It's too late!"

A fierce glint flashed in Kakuzu's eyes. He formed a hand seal, and then a water-attribute masked monster on his back pounced out at almost the fastest speed.

puff!

Shinji's seemingly certain strike was blocked by a masked monster, though not completely.

Because the destructive power of this strike after breaking stealth is twice that of the usual strike!

So the masked monster that Kakuzu was forced to use as a shield was smoothly cut in half, and then the decapitation blade continued its momentum, striking Kakuzu's back, which had already turned completely black.

At the critical moment, Kakuzu used Earth Release to enter a hardened defensive form.

A screeching sound, like metal being cut, suddenly rang out.

In just a little more time, Shinji will be able to split it in two.

However, the thick tentacles that emerged from Kakuzu's body were not just for show; they slammed him away with a loud bang.

"Ugh...cough cough..."

Kakuzu's expression changed, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

Although he was temporarily out of danger, he was in terrible condition. Not only had his heart been damaged, but he also had a deep and long cut on his back.

If he had reacted any slower, he might have been cut in half by now.

As for the black lines that were just cut off, there were countless of them.

"How exactly did that guy break through my Earth Grudge Technique and appear behind me in an instant?" Kakuzu asked, somewhat surprised and uncertain.

At the same time, I can't understand how such a troublesome yet unknown kid could suddenly appear here!

[Chapter 55 The Final Shot]

Whoosh!

"Tsk, still a little short..."

Shinji, who had just stood up from the rubble, shook his head, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied.

The decapitation sword may seem incredibly sharp, but that's just an illusion. It's fine for cutting down ordinary people, but it will become impenetrable when encountering enemies with strong defenses.

There's not much to say about the two times it was broken in the original work. Once it was used to withstand a Tailed Beast Ball, and the second time it was broken by the Raikage with a single punch.

No wonder it's called the Broken Blade.

Frequent disconnections are a problem.

Although it has now been transformed into a cursed tool by Shinji and become more powerful, its material itself has not improved much.

In other words, what cannot be cut will still be cut, and what needs to be severed will still need to be severed.

Otherwise, with that one strike, how could Kakuzu possibly have had a chance to counterattack?

Of course, the Breaking Stealth Strike is a powerful skill within a small area, and he couldn't possibly abandon the Decapitation Blade.

He just couldn't help having some ideas, wanting to make an even tougher and sharper weapon, and it would be best if it could also have a targeted restraining effect on cursed spirits.

But that's just a thought for now. Such powerful weapons are not easy to find, let alone those with the potential to evolve into cursed tools.

Honestly, he still doesn't understand what this condition is.

Before Shinji could think further, the furious Kakuzu had already made a new move.

Apart from the destroyed water-attribute heart and the earth-attribute heart within his own body, the masked monsters formed from the other three hearts immediately gathered in Kakuzu's remaining left hand!

The chakra of the three attributes of wind, fire, and lightning from the masked monster's mouth began to glow with a blue light.

Seeing this, Shinji dared not be careless and immediately began to move quickly, refusing to be locked on by Kakuzu's ultimate move, while rapidly approaching Kakuzu's direction.

Although ordinary physical attacks cannot break through Kakuzu's Earth Release, close combat is still one of Kakuzu's weaknesses. At least compared to his powerful and skillful five-element ninjutsu, Kakuzu's close combat is indeed very 'ordinary'.

Shinji's thinking was simple: he couldn't allow Kakuzu to recklessly transform into a ninja artillery platform and bombard the enemy.

If a character fights in a way that makes them most uncomfortable, most of their skills will be wasted.

Kakuzu, with his arms raised high, had a gloomy but extremely calm expression. Although he was unable to lock onto the enemy for the time being, he did not believe that the other party could maintain this high-speed movement indefinitely.

As soon as this kid slows down, this shot will send him flying!

Therefore, Kakuzu simply kept his energy in reserve, maintaining a state of energy storage.

Now that they both know what the other is thinking, the situation seems to have reached a stalemate.

Suddenly, Shinji paused slightly, but Kakuzu was not fooled and continued to observe calmly.

As expected, Shinji was just faking it; nothing happened, and he immediately resumed his high-speed movement.

Then there were two more attempts to test him, but Kakuzu remained unmoved.

During his fourth pause, Shinji turned around and charged directly at Kakuzu, seemingly completely unconcerned about the massive amount of chakra gathered in Kakuzu's hands.

But the moment Kakuzu's eyelids twitched and he aimed his left hand at him, Shinji once again unleashed an astonishing speed and began to move sideways.

At the last moment, Kakuzu held back, neither releasing his ninjutsu nor falling for the trap.

It seems the situation has become a stalemate again.

But suddenly, Shinji turned around and charged towards Kakuzu, completely ignoring the blue sparks flashing in Kakuzu's hand.

Kakuzu frowned. Although he aimed at the boy immediately, he did not launch an attack right away, fearing that the other party was just feinting.

But seeing the distance between them shrinking infinitely, Kakuzu knew he couldn't wait any longer.

If he doesn't release this pressure, he'll become the one who's put on the defensive!

"Go to hell, kid!"

Earth Grudge Fear: Final Shot!

The chakra cannon, which had gathered a large amount of chakra and was almost fully charged, fired!

In an instant, Shinji's eyes were filled with a terrifying blue light.

They were too close, and the speed of this chakra cannon attack was extremely fast!

Although Shinji had prepared in advance and rehearsed in his mind several times, when the moment actually came, he was not so sure that he could succeed.

Using his exceptional control over his body, Shinji first leaped to the side at top speed, simultaneously holding the Executioner's Blade upright in front of him at a slight tilt, and finally used Crimson Blood Manipulation Technique: Blood Crystal Prison to protect himself...

This series of responses was completed almost the instant Kakuzu unleashed his final shot.

Then, in the next moment, a terrifying chakra cannon slammed directly into the Executioner's Blade.

boom!

Click...

Due to the angle, Shinji was only grazed, but the force sent him flying, and the guillotine in his hand broke in two.

However, thanks to the protection of the Blood Crystal Prison, he only suffered some superficial injuries when he landed.

Shinji didn't care about any of that and immediately looked up after landing.

His final reckless attack was not without reason.

Because his view was blocked, Kakuzu didn't notice that besides the enemy, Konan was also on his attack route!

By the time Shinji was blasted away, it was too late for Kakuzu to see what was happening.

The powerful chakra cannon shot straight towards Konan, who was not far away!

boom!!!

The earthquake trembled, and an entire row of dilapidated, weathered houses was wiped out.

After everything settled down, the battlefield was a scene of utter devastation.

Looking again at the center of the explosion, a figure with wings was hovering in the air, its lower body had disappeared, and its face was cold and murderous!

If he hadn't used the Paper Dance technique at top speed, turning his body into countless paper-like fragments that rose into the air, perhaps there wouldn't even be a complete corpse to be found by now.

Xiao Nan's face was ashen, but she was furious inside.
