Chapter 225 Kakuzu: Why Is He so Hard?
"Two masters, can we go out and fight? It's not easy to do business here, right?"
The old man of the money exchange said on the side, a little nervous. If these two masters started fighting directly, with the power of their ninjutsu, this money exchange would be blown up in an instant.
Upon hearing this, Kakuzu first used the sealing scroll to collect the body he was going to exchange for money, turned around and walked out, as if he was not afraid of Lu Li's sneak attack, "Let's talk about it after we come out."
Lu Li had no objection, and he didn't want to destroy the money exchange. After all, he might come here to exchange money for tasks in the future.
The manager of the money exchange watched Lu Li and Kakuzu leave and breathed a sigh of relief.
And the next moment when the two walked out of the house and turned the corner and disappeared in his sight, a huge roar accompanied by a strong tremor came.
"Wind escape. Suppress harm!"
Kakuzu did not enter the Earth Grudge Mode right away, but released the Wind escape in normal form. He heard that Tianzai was a powerful Thunder escape bloodline limit ninja, so he used the Wind escape to test it.
Kakuzu's chakra capacity is not to be underestimated. The ninjutsu he released was extremely powerful. In the strong wind like a group of sickle weasels, the trees on the roadside collapsed in patches, and the wide-coverage wind escape pressed towards Lu Li.
As Lu Li jumped back, the thunder spread like a spider web, covering Kakuzu like a huge net.
Kakuzu saw that Lu Li was very fast, and knew that it was difficult to hit Lu Li head-on with this level of wind escape, and Lu Li's thunder escape was not blocked by his wind escape at all, and it fell directly to his location.
And there was a decisive difference from the thunder escape that he often saw in the ninja world. Lu Li's thunder was really like natural lightning, and there was no "process" of transmission. From release to reaching where he was, it was almost a matter of a second.
If Kakuzu had not been experienced in combat and was the oldest ninja of this era, he would have sensed the crisis in advance and used the substitute technique to evacuate, and the thunder-struck wood under the thunder net would have been his fate.
After only a short confrontation, Kakuzu realized that the natural disaster was a troublesome opponent, and these 60 million... were not easy to earn.
He had killed many lightning ninjas, and he also had the heart of an excellent lightning ninja, but the lightning ninjas he had seen were mainly divided into two types.
One was the ninjutsu of the Raikage, which used lightning to activate the body, speed up the body to gain transcendent mobility, and then conduct close combat thrusts. He heard that the Konoha copy ninja Kakashi also had a similar technique. This technique was relatively rare in the ninja world, but he had also defeated similar opponents.
The other was the conventional lightning ninjutsu, which released lightning converted from chakra to attack the opponent. In this attack mode, because it was a ninjutsu, it was controlled by the ninja, and lightning would often condense into shape.
For example, his lightning ninjutsu, pseudo-darkness, could release a sharp lightning spear from the mouth of the masked monster of the Earth Grudge Yu, lightning ninjutsu. This lightning spear was a tangible object, so its trajectory was naturally under his control, and its speed was limited.
So in fact, the external lightning ninjutsu is not that fast. It takes time for the ninjutsu to move from his body to the attack on the enemy.
In general, the lightning chakra mode of the Raikage lineage is faster, and it is faster than the ordinary external lightning ninjutsu.
It was the first time that Lu Li saw this situation. There was almost no delay from the lightning to his body. If he wanted to avoid Lu Li's lightning, he could only predict the landing point of Lu Li's attack.
"The kids nowadays are really strong and terrifying."
Kakuzu sighed, but he didn't give up the 60 million bounty. Just now, it was just a ninjutsu to greet each other. He would have to use a little more strength next time.
"Are you from the Akatsuki organization? Look at this outfit, a rebel ninja from Takigakure? According to rumors in the underground circle, you seem to have assassinated the first generation of Hokage?"
Lu Li asked with interest.
"Heh, kid, I didn't expect you to know this. I did fight with the first Hokage of your village."
When mentioning this, Kakuzu's masked face seemed to be filled with confidence, "In my opinion, you are still too young."
While speaking, behind Lu Li's back, his Earthly Wrath Yu heart had already crawled out. After the voice fell, one after another Earthly Wrath Yu, which was made of black lines and heart entangled, drilled out from the ground in all directions.
The three Earthly Wrath Yu were covered with black lines, swaying in the air like tentacles. The empty black holes in the masks stared at Lu Li closely. They stood in three directions and surrounded Lu Li with Kakuzu's body in four corners.
The reason why Kakuzu said Lu Li was young was because Lu Li dared to chat with him in the battle. He casually said a sigh, just to divert Lu Li's attention.
"Interesting secret technique, but can you fight the first generation Hokage with these little things?"
Lu Li looked amused. Of course, he knew Kakuzu's little moves. With the combination of observation Haki and the electric current in the air, there was no movement within a few hundred meters that he could not sense clearly.
But he did not stop Kakuzu from using the Earth Grudge. He wanted to see what tricks Kakuzu could play with these little things.
Anyway, from the original work, he felt that Kakuzu was quite weak. The ability of the Earth Grudge did have the effect of killing people who did not understand the principles of his secret technique.
But let alone encountering a ninja with strong analytical ability, even if he encountered a ninja with a little bit of frontal hard power, he could easily kill Kakuzu.
After all, the so-called five hearts were too weak in Lu Li's opinion. They were just fancy things and were useless in the face of real power.
If the Raikage was here, he would probably kill Kakuzu five times in an instant...
"The little brats are really arrogant now."
Kakuzu looked grim. Except for the Earth Style Heart of the main body and the Lightning Style Heart that did not leave, every Earth Style Yu launched a ninjutsu.
Wind Style·Suppression!
Fire Style·Head Hard Work!
Water Style·Water Curtain!
He was not a rookie. If he wanted to hunt Lu Li, he would have done enough homework. It was impossible for him to use the external Lightning Style Ninjutsu to attack Lu Li directly.
He put the Lightning Style Heart in the main body, so that if he failed to dodge Lu Li's lightning attack in time, he could use Lightning Style to confront and resolve it head-on as a means of saving his life.
The other three hearts were the main attack. At this time, he was both offensive and defensive, and he had surrounded Lu Li and occupied the geographical advantage.
If Lu Li could not break this game, he would directly collect the bounty and report back to the organization.
Boom——
The wind helped the fire, and the suppression and head hard work merged, erupting a new combination ninjutsu, the Flame Wind Wave, which directly bombarded Lu Li's position.
At the same time, the Water Curtain Tent of the Earth Grudge Clone continuously sprayed high-pressure water cannons for subsequent fire suppression.
Through perception, Kakuzu was sure that his siege was successful just now. Lu Li did not have time to dodge his combination ninjutsu, and the subsequent water ninjutsu bombardment also hit.
He was happy and disappointed, and commented, "After all, he is too young, and is far behind your first generation Hokage."
But the next moment, a voice came out of the smoke and dust, "Really? I doubt whether you have really fought with the first generation. Did you throw a shuriken from eight hundred miles away?"
Kakuzu heard this steady voice, and he didn't care about being angry because of the other party's mockery. He subconsciously jumped back and manipulated the three Earth Grudge Clone to retreat, trying to keep a distance.
But what made him feel ashamed was that Lu Li did not launch an attack, but just waited for the wind to blow, the smoke and dust to disperse, and stood there quietly looking at him.
Lu Li patted the dust off his clothes, "You are so fancy, you continue, a ninja from the Warring States Period... is this?"
Kakuzu's face was livid, and he was shocked and angry, because he was sure that his ninjutsu just hit Lu Li, but Lu Li was unscathed, what on earth was going on! ?
It's not that he hasn't seen ninjas with strong defense. He has lived for more than 80 years, and he has seen all kinds of bloodline limits. And he is sure that Lu Li's bloodline limit is the Thunder Release, which does not involve high defense.
And the power of his ninjutsu is not comparable to that of ordinary jonins. Even Senju Hashirama can't take it head-on, right?
Lu Li stepped out of the smoke and flames. To be honest, the power of Kakuzu's ninjutsu really disappointed him. He thought he could warm up his body.
The summary of Kakuzu's ability is that it is too diverse, but there is no explosive finishing skill. When his five hearts are added together, the temporary mental attribute can still exceed 70 points. If he releases a powerful combination of ninjutsu, Lu Li will have to dodge.
But he separated the heart, and the spiritual attribute of each Earth Grudge Yu was only more than 60 points in Lu Li's reconnaissance field of view.
Compared with ordinary jonin, the Earth Grudge Yu was still strong, but at most it was the level of elite jonin. Lu Li didn't even need to dodge the ninjutsu released by this level of gadgets.
Armament Color Flowing Sakura combined with the two defensive equipment on his body, it felt like it was just so-so, not painful.
"Boy, how did you do it?"
Kakuzu's voice was low, and he quietly put away the Earth Grudge Yu during the conversation, and maneuvered to let them return to him.
Since the siege tactics didn't work, he needed to consider changing forms.
"There is no secret, it's just that the power of your ninjutsu is too small."
Lu Li grinned, "I respect the elderly and love the young, so I let you make a few moves first, now... it's my turn?"
Looking at the smile on Lu Li's face, Kakuzu, who has lived for more than 80 years, felt that the hair on his back stood up (if he still had it), and he suddenly realized that the opponent in front of him was too incompatible with him.
His main body is earth escape, which is naturally countered by lightning escape. The original advantage of the scattered attack of the Earth Grudge Yu is that multiple ninjutsu attack from multiple directions, which is difficult for the enemy to dodge or defend.
After all, most ninjas are of average physique, and most of them will die if they are directly hit by ninjutsu.
But he found that the siege tactics of the Earth Grudge Yu did not work well on Lu Li. Even if he turned on the Earth Grudge Yu mode and carried out continuous bombardment of compound ninjutsu, Lu Li would most likely be able to dodge with lightning escape at high speed.
Once it enters a chakra attrition war, the loser is likely to be him.
What made him even colder was that after Lu Li drew out the ninja sword at his waist, in his perception, Lu Li's "chakra" rose, which was simply a big transformation.
"Wait a minute!"
Kakuzu immediately raised his hand and shouted before Lu Li rushed up with the sword.
But Lu Li did not wait at all, and launched the instant step, which instantly shortened the distance between him and Kakuzu.
Seeing that Lu Li was not making sense at all, Kakuzu's Earthly Wrath Mask of Wind, Fire and Thunder appeared on his right arm, and he released a combined ninjutsu, Earthly Wrath. Final Shot!
Boom——
What surprised Kakuzu was that Lu Li did not dodge or stop charging, but faced his shot head-on.
But his final shot did not end Lu Li's life, but hit an invisible barrier.
What was even more fatal was that Lu Li had already rushed to three meters in front of him at this time, and the final shot exploded under the force of the recoil, and the chakra cannon turned into a blazing storm and swept towards him.
At the same time, Lu Li did not stop his forward posture, and slashed out with a knife.
As if the sharp blade cut through the air, the invisible sword energy crisscrossed the forest, and the trees within a radius of dozens of meters broke one after another and tilted down.
And Kakuzu himself was also cut off half of his body, along with his right hand that he had just released, and fell to the ground.
After the sword was completed, lightning flashed on Lu Li's body, and several lightning spears shot out, piercing the three hearts in Kakuzu's right hand. At the same time, several lightning spears shot towards Kakuzu's body.
