"How could this happen? Does this person's Earth Release Ninjutsu move so fast underground?"

Kakuzu thought in surprise.

He has lived long enough and has seen a lot. He has dealt with Iwagakure who is good at earth escape many times. As far as he knows, there is no earth escape ninjutsu that can move underground that can compare with the one in front of him.

The enemy's Earth Release Ninjutsu is so fast.

He immediately used the ninjutsu of Detsujutsu Kaito Shohori, which can force enemies lurking underground, within two seconds.

In such a short period of time, the enemy had already run a hundred meters underground?

At this thought, Kakuzu couldn't help but feel a long-lost chill in his heart.

If the enemy masters such a powerful Earth Release Ninjutsu, then his chances of defeating the enemy will become very slim. In addition, if the enemy masters the terrifying Accelerated Thunder Release Ninjutsu, it will be very difficult for him to escape.

things.

But Kakuzu didn't think about the boring question of how he offended Kirito.

As a bounty hunter standing at the top of the pyramid, he has long lost count of how many people he has offended, and he has long understood that sooner or later someone will come to seek revenge on him.

Those who kill will always be killed.

Since he took the initiative to kill for the bounty, he was already prepared for revenge afterward.

Therefore, he would not think about the reasons why the enemy would attack him, nor would he be interested in it, nor would he take the initiative to ask for mercy.

In this ruthless world, ninjas should fight non-stop until the moment of death.

He Jiaodu has long been aware of it.

A fatal feeling came from behind, and he quickly used the Substitution Technique without even thinking.

The next moment, a flashing katana cut his body in half.

Kirito used the sword skill Thunder Flash again to successfully complete the sneak attack.

"Bang~" sound.

A cloud of white smoke appeared, and Kakuzu's body turned into a piece of wood cut in half.

Seeing this, Kirito frowned. The famous sword in his hand was instantly covered with attributeless chakra, and then he quickly turned around and aimed in three directions to complete three slashes.

Three huge chakra chopping waves appeared, shooting at high speed towards the two masked monsters in mid-air and the position where Kakuzu appeared after using the Substitute Technique to dodge.

Kakuzu immediately used the earth escape and earth spear that is most commonly used in the earth escape heart of the main body to defend himself. His hands instantly turned into pitch black, and he easily blocked the incoming chakra chopper and deflected it.

In mid-air, he also controlled the Water Escape Mask Monster to use Water Escape and Water Formation Wall for defense.

A huge wall of water immediately stood in front of the Water Mask Monster and the Thunder Mask Monster, blocking the two incoming chakra chopper waves.

However, an air chop suddenly shot out from the forest behind the two masked monsters, and one of them cut the Thunder Mask Monster, its mask and body in half.

The Thunder Mask Monster was destroyed.

"ah!"

Kakuzu suddenly let out a scream.

Obviously, the death of a masked monster also caused great harm to him.

"It seems that's the case. You're not very good at being besieged."

Seeing this, Kirito sneered.

While speaking, he threw several kunai with his free left hand, aiming at Kakuzu and the remaining water masked monsters in mid-air, but they were easily blocked and deflected by the two, unable to cause any effective damage to them at all.

"Is there still his companion in the forest? Or is it that he had a shadow clone in the forest before?"

Kakuzu covered his chest, spit out some necrotic resentment, stared at Kirito in front of him, and then quietly used the corner of his eye to look in the direction of the forest that shot out the air chop, and screamed secretly.

He has realized that his weakness in controlling the masked monster in battle has been noticed by the enemy.

Yes, he can control four masked monsters with different attributes to fight at the same time because of the Earth Resentment Yu Secret Technique, but in reality, he can only let himself or the masked monster use one ninjutsu to fight at the same time.

Not caught.

Otherwise, it will affect the normal release of Ninjutsu and easily lead to failure of Ninjutsu release.

Releasing ninjutsu is something that requires a high degree of concentration. When he releases two ninjutsu at the same time, it is impossible to take care of other things for the time being.

At this time, if an enemy makes a sneak attack, he will definitely be hit.

Therefore, as Kirito said, he is not good at being besieged.

But that was only when he was held back by strong men of the same level and had no time to care.

If Kirito was just a jounin, he would not be afraid even if two more elite jounin came, because a mere elite jounin would not be able to survive his combined ninjutsu in a head-on battle.

A masked monster has been eliminated, and the enemy has discovered his weakness in controlling the masked monster.

Kakuzu was already thinking about quitting at this time.

For Kakuzu, running away is not a shameful thing, it is just a means of survival.

Back then, he was the man who escaped from the First Hokage Senju Hashirama, and he didn't lack the means to escape.

With a thought in his mind, the fire escape mask on his shoulders and the wind escape mask monster teamed up again to perform the combined ninjutsu.

Fire Escape·Head Hard Work!

Wind escape·pressure!

For a moment, a huge wave of fire rushed towards Kirito, forcing Kirito to use the sword skills Kaiten and Water to defend himself.

However, Kirito is not fighting alone now. There is also a shadow clone of him in the forest.

The shadow clone decisively took the opportunity to consume the little remaining chakra in the body again, and spit out a huge air chopper from its mouth.

Wind Escape·Vacuum Wave!

Sneak attacks are carried out without the enemy's knowledge.

After Kakuzu was on guard, it was obviously difficult for the shadow clone's attack to succeed easily.

When using two ninjutsu at the same time, Kakuzu immediately controls the water mask monster to fly down.

Although he cannot control three masked monsters to perform ninjutsu attacks at the same time, when he controls two of them to use ninjutsu, he can still control the third masked monster to make simple movements.

The shadow clone's sneak attack failed.

Taking advantage of Kirito's gap in defending his combined ninjutsu, Kakuzu immediately jumped onto the body of the water-delivery masked monster that descended from the air, and then controlled the water-delivered masked monster to fly him up quickly.

At the same time, the Wind Mask Monster on his shoulder caused a stream of air to erupt from its outlet and wrap around the Water Mask Monster. The flying speed of the Water Mask Monster instantly increased several times, flying at high speed in the air, carrying Kakuzu with him.

Evacuate quickly.

Wind Escape·Fire Wind Palm!

"Want to run?"

Kirito noticed Kakuzu's actions with his white eyes, sneered, and then moved the five fingers of his left hand.

The next moment, Kakuzu, who was riding a water mask monster in the sky to escape quickly, suddenly found that his body was pulled by a huge force, and then fell from the sky.

Not just him, but also the water mask monster.

The kunai that Kirito threw with his left hand just now was not a probing attack, but a secretly attached super-tough chakra line to the angle and the water-escaping mask monster.

This is the Yin technique of puppetry that he learned from Chi Sha and Sha Lan using the technique of spiritualization and soul searching.

The reason is naturally to artificially create a loophole for Kakuzu to attack.

However, preventing enemies from escaping like this is also a good application.

"What's going on?"

Kakuzu, who was falling rapidly, thought with doubts.

"Could this method be the chakra line of Sunagakure's puppet master?"

Hanzokage's clone who was watching the battle thought thoughtfully when he saw Kakuzu and the Water Release Mask Monster suddenly falling from the air to the ground.

He once fought with Chiyo, an old woman, so he deeply understood how insidious the puppet master's methods were. What impressed him most was not the various insidious hidden weapons on the puppets controlled by the puppet master, but the way the puppet master controlled the puppets.

Chakra line.

Chakra lines are so small that they are almost difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

The most frightening thing is that these chakra threads are extremely tough. Once they are accidentally entangled during the battle, if they are not discovered and cut off with a weapon wrapped with chakra at the first time, the puppet master may take advantage of it.

Create a one-hit kill opportunity.

The scene before him now was very similar to the time when he tried to get rid of the entanglement of the old woman Chiyo and was almost killed by her using the chakra threads that unknowingly wrapped around his body.

"Is this guy from Sunagakure?"

When the Hanzokage clone looked at Kirito, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

But soon, he denied this possibility.

If this mysterious Kage-level powerhouse in front of him was from Sunagakure, Sunagakure would have used it in the war with Konoha, and he would not have hid it until now, nor would he turn a blind eye to the current battle between Chiyo and other Sunagakure and Iwagakure.

, instead chose to cause trouble for the undead Kakuzu.

"Then who is he from? He knows powerful sword skills with five attributes and can also use puppetry."

The Hanzokage clone stared at Kirito, who was currently piercing the mask of the water mask monster with a knife, and murmured, looking at Kirito with more and more fear.
