Wind Release, Lightning Release, Fire Release... another combination of ninjutsu.

However, despite the relentless bombardment, Uchiha Ryosuke remained completely unharmed.

At this point, Kakuzu finally realized the problem.

He noticed that Uchiha Ryosuke, who was in the center of the flames, had been accurately hit by all the attacks.

But what's puzzling is that he acted as if nothing had happened.

"It looks as if he doesn't actually exist..."

"So that's how you managed to avoid my attacks? How did this happen?"

Kakuzu was filled with doubt and unease.

At that moment, a playful voice came from behind him.

"The battle seems to be over."

Immediately afterwards, an overwhelming pressure of chakra erupted.

An invisible force transformed into a tangible attack, crushing Kakuzu's body.

In that instant, Kakuzu felt dizzy and was completely stunned by the force of the impact.

His Earthly Grudge Pattern was broken, and he vomited blood on the spot.

His eyes were still completely black, his head was buzzing, and his blood and qi were churning inside his body.

It felt as if his internal organs were turned upside down and about to shatter.

This terrifying experience completely shocked Kakuzu.

He turned around and looked at Uchiha Ryosuke, who was standing five meters away.

"What...what did you just do??"

Kakuzu asked with surprise and uncertainty.

"You wouldn't understand even if I told you."

Uchiha Ryosuke casually withdrew his Conqueror's Haki and then slowly walked towards his opponent.

"Are you interested in answering my question now?"

he asked.

"You're dreaming!"

Kakuzu threw two kunai at him, trying to block his attack, while simultaneously leaping backward, seemingly intending to escape.

But the next second, something unbelievable happened again.

Uchiha Ryosuke didn't know how, but suddenly he was behind him.

"You can't escape. You're welcome to try if you don't believe me."

Hearing the voice behind him, Kakuzu's pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively turned around to look. Sure enough, he saw Uchiha Ryosuke with a half-smile.

But it's a ghost!

There was clearly one in front of it!

"Is it a shadow clone? Or..."

Kakuzu quickly observed and identified that it was not a shadow clone at all, but merely an afterimage left behind by Uchiha Ryosuke.

And all the things he had just attacked were these incredibly realistic afterimages!

"Is that why you were completely unharmed?"

This speed is simply unbelievable, it's breathtaking!

Unconvinced, Kakuzu launched a back kick into the air, attempting to repel the enemy.

Uchiha Ryosuke calmly reached out to block, while Kakuzu sneered inwardly, thinking his wicked scheme had succeeded, and took the opportunity to use the force to fly back in the opposite direction.

"Being smart!"

Uchiha Ryosuke reappeared behind the other party.

With a high-level Flying Thunder God Technique, even if Kakuzu were right in front of me, or even if he were far away, I could arrive instantly.

So what Uchiha Ryosuke said just now wasn't just to scare the other party.

He truly has the ability to make it impossible for the other party to escape.

"How can it be!"

Kakuzu is starting to have doubts about life.

With my own abilities, although my ninjutsu couldn't defeat my opponent, I couldn't even escape?

This is absolutely impossible!

Unconvinced, he tried several more times.

Despite trying his best, Kakuzu failed time and time again.

No matter how hard he tried, Uchiha Ryosuke could easily catch up in the blink of an eye.

What's even more frustrating and infuriating is that despite having such a masterful hand on him, Uchiha Ryosuke didn't kill him.

Kakuzu now couldn't understand why Uchiha Ryosuke was toying with him like this, since the 280 million bounty was out of reach.

Seeing that they couldn't win a fight and couldn't escape, they realized they were outmatched.

Fortunately, he stopped resisting and stood there watching the other person.

"What do you want?"

Kakuzu asked.

Uchiha Ryosuke smiled with satisfaction.

He stared into the other person's pitiful eyes and nodded: "Wouldn't it have been better if you had asked this sooner?"

"It seems you've recognized the gap between us. So let's continue our previous topic. Are you ready to answer me?"

He repeated the question he had just asked.

Kakuzu was speechless after hearing this.

"You're really asking a question you already know the answer to. Are you just bored?"

He was absolutely furious.

What kind of twisted sense of humor would lead someone to chat with their enemy instead of killing them when they clearly have the upper hand?

In any case, Kakuzu could not understand Uchiha Ryosuke's thoughts.

However, having learned from past mistakes, he still chose to answer the questions honestly.

"Since you know about Akatsuki's existence and that our target is the Tailed Beasts, why ask such a question?"

"One of the reasons I came here, old man, is because of those guys..."

He pointed behind him.

Uchiha Ryosuke had already noticed those corpses over there.

So, as expected, this money-grubbing guy came here to hunt down these bounty targets.

Of course, he also said that this was only one of the reasons.

"Then what is another reason?"

Uchiha Ryosuke looked at the other person with a half-smile.

"Of course, it's the tailed beast of Iwagakure."

"At first I didn't know why the organization suddenly changed its mind and insisted on capturing the Tailed Beast at this time, but now I think I understand."

Kakuzu stared silently at Uchiha Ryosuke in front of him.

No wonder the organization issued a mission to capture the Tailed Beasts as soon as possible.

It was precisely because of the threat posed by this guy that they had no choice but to bring the plan forward.

"Humph..."

Knowing he had guessed correctly, Uchiha Ryosuke couldn't help but laugh.

Kakuzu narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the young man's arrogant demeanor.

"So, what exactly are you planning to do? If you want to stop me, just kill me right here."

“If you don’t intend to continue, then I will continue to complete my mission.”

Having lived for nearly a hundred years, Kakuzu certainly didn't want to die.

If Uchiha Ryosuke doesn't intend to kill him, then he definitely needs to find a way to leave as soon as possible.

Although Uchiha Ryosuke appeared completely harmless at this moment.

But I always felt that he might turn on me at any moment.

So it's best to leave as soon as possible.

"Kill you? No, no, no, I don't have that plan yet."

"I want you to go back and give a message to your organization's leader."

Uchiha Ryosuke shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Kakuzu's eyes sharpened.

He didn't speak, but waited for Uchiha Ryosuke to continue.

“Go back and tell your organization’s leader that the Tailed Beasts will absolutely not be handed over to you.”

"If you want to know the truth, come to Konoha and find me."

"If you insist on continuing the fight, then so be it."

"I've finished speaking, you can leave now."

Kakuzu listened to his words, but did not move.

Seeing that he was still standing there, Uchiha Ryosuke glanced at him sideways: "What?"

Kakuzu then began to move his feet, reluctantly heading towards the border of the Land of Earth.

He didn't look back and quickly disappeared at the end of the road.

Uchiha Ryosuke's powerful senses kept him locked onto his opponent.

He was only relieved after confirming that Kakuzu had indeed honestly followed his words and left the Land of Earth.

"Even a guy with five lives would become obedient when facing someone he can't beat."

Uchiha Ryosuke smiled inwardly.

However, he changed his mind at this point.

Originally, they planned to wait for the Land of Earth 1.3 to see their achievements before they would willingly discuss cooperation.

Now that the Akatsuki organization has already mobilized...

Moreover, they have specifically set their sights on the two tailed beasts of Iwagakure in the Land of Earth.

Therefore, it is impossible to let them continue to succeed.

Thinking of Uchiha Ryosuke, he began to release his sensory abilities.

His incredibly powerful perception seemed to be inexhaustible, but Uchiha Ryosuke did not find the target he was looking for.

Although his perception is very strong, it cannot truly ignore distance limitations and spread infinitely.

In reality, once perception expands to a certain range, it becomes impossible to continue probing more distant areas.

Uchiha Ryosuke was about to turn back and venture deeper into the Land of Earth to investigate the whereabouts of the two Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts.

But at that moment, he suddenly heard a notification sound.
