Konoha: I refresh a passive skill every month

Chapter 205 Kakuzu shows signs, Sakumo goes to the meeting alone

Anbu of Ryūyin Village.

"Sir Sakumo, there is a situation." Anbu ninja handed Hatake Sakumo a piece of information, "Three days ago, a companion was killed in a small border town, and his identity was a Konoha ninja who defected to us three months ago.

The team we sent to investigate the situation was attacked by unknown ninjas today. No one was left alive, and only sporadic information was received before they died. "

Immediately, Hatake Sakumo's face darkened, and he lowered his head to quickly check the information.

"Go get all the information sealed by the original Taki Ninja Village." Looking up, Hatake Sakumo made arrangements.

Soon, the ANBU ninja came back with a large pile of documents in his hand.

Taking it with both hands, Hatake Sakumo sat on a chair and flipped through it carefully, finally finding some clues in a document that had turned yellow and would be damaged at the slightest touch.

After carefully comparing the information in his hand, Hatake Sakumo's eyes flashed with disbelief and a hint of cruelty.

Getting up, Hatake Sakumo took the top-secret document from the former Taki Ninja Village and left the ANBU base and went straight to the Ryukage Building.

"Lord Longying."

"Teacher, do it quickly." When he saw it was Hatake Sakumo, Li Che immediately stood up and pulled out his chair for him. "Teacher, what's going on?"

"It's about the murder of a companion in a small border town three days ago." Hatake Sakumo handed over the two pieces of information in his hand, "And just today, the four-man ANBU team I sent to investigate the incident was completely wiped out.

According to the information they received before they died, the forehead protector worn by the person who killed them was the forehead protector of the original Taki-nin village, and he rebelled against Taki-nin.

So I checked all the top-secret ninja intelligence from the original Taki Ninja Village and found a piece of information that was roughly consistent with the mysterious Taki Ninja rebel ninja described in the intelligence.

But because of this, I find it a bit unbelievable that that ninja information is more than fifty years old, which all indicates that the Taki-nin rebel was a figure of the same era as Hashirama-sama.

At the same time, I also found something very interesting in the information. "

"The local resentment?" Li Che also interrupted. He already knew who the person was. "Does the teacher want to deal with him personally?"

"I have this plan." Hatake Sakumo nodded, "A ninja of the same era as Hashirama-sama, and with such a mysterious thing as the Earthly Yu, his strength is not weak, and he has such a long life, so The combat experience brought to him will be massive.

I don't want to gamble with the lives of my companions, so this time, I must go and meet him for a while. "

Li Che also nodded. He believed in Hatake Sakumo's strength, but to be on the safe side, he still planned to let Hatake Sakumo lead more people.

"Teacher, please lead an ANBU team there. It's safer."

"It's easy to alert someone if there are too many people." Hatake Sakumo shook his head, "I'm fine by myself, and this is a domestic mission. If I want support, there will be support at any time."

Seeing Hatake Sakumo's persistence, Li Che did not persuade him any more, but informing Hatake Sakumo of key information about Kakuzu was the greatest help to Hatake Sakumo.

"Teacher, I know part of the information about this mysterious substance called Earth Resent Yu."

Hatake Sakumo's eyes lit up, "If there is accurate information to support it, my confidence in this trip will greatly increase."

Li Che also nodded, "He is such a teacher. Earthly Resentment Yu was the foundation of Taki Ninja Village before, and Kakuzu, as a former elite Taki Ninja, is naturally qualified to contact, inherit and use it.

The ability given to Kakuzu by Earthly Resentment Yu is a property of near immortality. The body cannot be damaged to a certain extent. Even if it is damaged, it can be sutured and repaired by itself.

But it's not without its faults.

Eternal life always comes with a price, and the price of using Earthly Resentment to live forever and gain powerful power is that Kakuzu must replace himself with a new heart every once in a while to support him to continue to live and continue to use Earth. Resentment gave him the power.

Therefore, fatal injuries such as decapitation are just insignificant scratches to Kakuzu. Even if it pierces his heart, Kakuzu still has four pills that can be used. "

"He has five hearts?!" Hatake Sakumo's pupils shrank, "If they don't know this information, many people will probably be fooled."

"Indeed." Li Che also nodded, "In addition, Kakuzu, who has five hearts, can also use chakra with five attributes, and can perform compound ninjutsu attacks at will, both in terms of range and power. , are quite strong.”

"In other words, the five hearts in Kakuzu's body represent the five attributes of chakra?" Hatake Sakumo grasped the key, "Then, as long as one of Kakuzu's hearts is destroyed, his strength will be at least It’s reduced by 1/5, so it’s easy to deal with.”

Seeing how confident Hatake Sakumo was, Li Che didn't have any doubts.

Kakuzu is strong, even if he has all five hearts, if he faces off against Hatake Sakumo with the information completely kept secret, he still has a high chance of losing.

Of course, it's not that Hatake Sakumo can definitely win, but after Li Che also told him the Kakuzu intelligence he knew, everything was almost certain.

However, nothing is absolute, so Li Che still gave Hatake Sakumo his instructions.

"Teacher, I'm not very clear about the specific locations of Kakuzu's five hearts." Li Che was really a little fuzzy on this information. "Teacher, please be careful."

"Don't worry." Hatake Sakumo was extremely confident, "I'm an old guy in his seventies. It's time to let him know how powerful a young man like me is."

"Haha, I wish you a happy victory, teacher." Li Che also smiled, "By the way, teacher, if you can bring back Earthly Resentment Yu, try to bring it back as much as possible. It will still be of some use in medical research and improvement."

"I understand." Nodding, Hatake Sakumo turned around, "Without further ado, I'll leave now."

Watching Hatake Sakumo leave, Li Che also thought about it and gave instructions to Shisui behind him.

"Shisui, please notify the Uchiha ninjas near the border town and ask them to be ready to respond at any time."

"is teacher."

Zhishui took the order and left, and Li Che felt completely relieved.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Hatake Sakumo's strength, but he's sailing the ship with caution. Who knows if Kakuzu has any accomplices now.

And if Li Che's prediction was correct, the reason why Kakuzu appeared in the Kingdom of Dragon and hunted down the former Konoha ninjas who defected was probably because he got a reward on the black market.

It’s unclear who did it, but if someone wanted to make a calculation, it was very likely that they would set up an ambush during the battle between Hatake Sakumo and Kakuzu, or at the end of the battle.

These must be guarded against.
-

A small town on the border of Dragon Kingdom.

This place was originally the territory of the Kingdom of Grass, but after it was annexed by the Kingdom of Dragon, both infrastructure and people's livelihood have been greatly improved.

The main body to maintain stability in the small town's traditional Chinese medicine hospital, school, and local-level management office chaired by Long Ninja is the ninja.

Therefore, when a ninja is killed in a small town, it is tantamount to killing the local administrator in other countries. The impact is very bad, and it is really challenging the authority of the Dragon Kingdom.

Traveling lightly along the way, Hatake Sakumo arrived here at an extremely fast speed in the afternoon of the same day.

With many years of experience in executing missions, Hatake Sakumo quickly identified one person.

He wears a black cloak, has a pair of light green pupils, and wears the former Taki Ninja Village forehead protector undisguised on his forehead.

While Hatake Sakumo was looking up and down Kakuto, Kakuto, who was sitting at a roadside stall drinking tea, also raised his head and looked at Hatake Sakumo with greedy eyes.

This man is a walking treasury, and he can be exchanged for a large amount of money after killing him.

As for the consequences, Kakuzu has never considered it. He only cares about money, and even more so the amount of money, and completely ignores the danger.

The main thing is that he is the only ninja who survived after fighting Senju Hashirama.

This matter is worth bragging about for a lifetime, and he even has enough self-confidence to support him, wandering around the ninja world at will, hunting some ninjas who are ranked in the black market.

"Kakuzu."

"Hatake Sakumo." The two of them greeted each other calmly. They didn't even take action immediately. Instead, they sat down together and chatted briefly.

"Are you waiting for me?"

"Of course, Hatake Sakumo's name is known to everyone in the ninja world. You are worth waiting for me."

Hatake Sakumo looked slightly cold, "Just to wait for me? What are you doing?"

"Of course I'll exchange your head for money on the black market." Jiao Dudu said frankly, "The value of your head is almost the same as Li Che's."

"Then I should be proud?"

"That's right. Your only value is the price of your head on the black market." Kakudu said boldly, "Maybe after I kill you, Li Cheye's head will also be mine."

"Oh, you are really confident."

"Of course, as a ninja who was the same generation as the God of Ninja World and the only ninja who survived after fighting him, I have that confidence."

Kakuzu stood up, threw a piece of paper money on the table, looked directly at Hatake Sakumo, "Are you here?"

"Outside town."

"That's what I thought too." After moving his shoulders, Kakuzu turned around and walked out of the town. "In a place like this, you can't move your hands and feet."

It's not that Kakuzu suddenly became empathetic and cared about the lives of civilians, but Kakuzu was worried that in a relatively compact environment like a town, it wouldn't be conducive to his performance.

There are too many obstacles, and there are too many things that a ninja of Hatake Sakumo's level can use, and there will be too many uncertainties in the battle.

Although Kakuzu dragged him to the tune of 2,500,000 yuan, he was very careful when it came time to fight.

The location is very important to him.

At the same time, the open and unobstructed environment will be a severe test for powerful ninjas like Hatake Sakumo who are best at assassination.

On the other hand, Kakuzu, who uses five attribute ninjutsu combined with Earth Resentment and Yu as his main combat method, will maximize the power of his ninjutsu map cannon in the opener the environment.

The two of them had their own plans, and they reached a subtle understanding of going in both directions.

Even if the combat environment is not favorable for Hatake Sakumo himself, he does not want to fight Kakuzu in the town for the sake of the safety of civilians.

Following Kakuzu out of the town, when they came to a relatively open area far away from the town, the two of them took action at the same time.

Earth Resentment Yu Tentacle Fist!

Without Kakuzu looking back, his wrist suddenly detached from his arm, and the connection was wrapped with dense black silk threads, which gave a pair of fists powerful kinetic energy, excellent ductility and flexibility.

but.

Pounced empty.

sizzle.

The sound of electric current sounded behind Kakuzu, but Hatake Sakumo's figure suddenly appeared beside Kakuzu, and the white fang with a short blade slashed across Kakuzu's ribs.

Kakuzu turned around suddenly and retracted his ejected wrists. At the same time, half of his body had turned into a pitch black color.

Earth escape·Earth spear!

The B-level earth escape ninjutsu, which is both offensive and defensive, can be regarded as Kakuzu's specialty, but in the eyes of Hatake Sakumo, who has white teeth, it is just like paper.

Hatake Swordsmanship: Flirting!

White Fang's blade was suddenly covered with a layer of condensed Thunder Chakra. This was the ultimate change in nature, and it was the most intuitive manifestation of Hatake's swordsmanship.

The White Fang blade cannot be extended, but the Thunder Chakra blade condensed from changes in properties can, and can be changed at will according to Hatake Sakumo's will.

You think you have escaped the attack of White Fang's short blade, but you are actually still within the attack range of Hatake Sakumo.

The blade is short and requires close combat, which has always been the biggest lie left to the enemy by Hatake's swordsmanship.

Swish.

The condensed thunder sword light broke through the dark earth defense covering Jiaodu's body without any hindrance, and continued to extend forward, cutting Jiaodu into two sections.

In the battle of Ninja Taijutsu, Kakuzu was completely defeated with one move!

But he didn't die, and Kakuzu even launched a counterattack.

The Earthly Resentment Yu, as well as the relative immortality, are Kakuzu's greatest reliance.

Wind Escape·Press!

Fire Escape·Head Hard Work!

Compound Ninja Technique: Flame Wind and Waves/Qi Noodles Explosive Flame!

There is a red-mouthed mask on the right shoulder, and when it opens its mouth, it releases overwhelming fire, while the mask on the right waist and abdomen spits out a violent hurricane.

The wind assisted the fire, and the two mutually reinforcing chakras combined together, and the power they erupted seemed to dye the entire sky orange-red.

In an instant, Hatake Sakumo's figure was submerged in the sea of ​​fire.

Being dragged by the black line in the middle of the waist and abdomen, the body whose corners were broken into two parts was reunited, and the sea of ​​fire rolling away from the side of the body burned the surrounding air and caused ripples.

The temperature is very high, the coverage is very wide, and it is launched very suddenly, with enough lethality to burn the entire human body to ashes.

However, Kakuzu did not let down his guard, he knew that Hatake Sakumo was not dead.

where is it?

The top of your head, or your feet, or the other three locations around your body?

Just as the thought flashed through his mind, Kakuzu's figure collapsed, and his left and right wrists flew away again.

Earth Resentment Yu·Gravity Fist!

This is an upgraded version of the Tentacle Fist. It is a powerful punch used in conjunction with the Earth Spear, a B-level earth escape, attack and defense ninjutsu.

Below him, on the other side of his body, the fist that was shot away in the blink of an eye was included in the attack range.

boom!

Bang.

The earth shattered, and at the same time, 'Hatake Sakumo' who stepped out from his side also turned into a cloud of smoke.

It is undoubtedly the art of shadow clone.

Then, Hatake Sakumo should be... above the head!

Kakuzu reacted immediately, and there was no movement of the seal. The two Earthly Resentment Yu masks, located on the shoulder and chest of the left side of the body, opened their mouths at the same time.

Water Escape·Water Curtain!

Thunder Escape·Pseudo Darkness!

Compound Ninja Technique·Water-surging Zhanmu/Strange-Faced Man-Thunder!

The water cannon was paired with the spreading high-penetration, high-speed, and high-power thunder, and a blue water column rose into the sky and rushed straight towards Hatake Sakumo who was in mid-air.

As for Hatake Sakumo, who had nowhere to rely on, his expression did not change at all, he just tightened the white teeth in his hand.

Hatake Swordsmanship·Falling Moon Slash!
