"Captain!"
Hyūga Masashi was so moved he was almost in tears. He hugged Aoi's thigh and wailed: "I thought I was going to die, sob sob sob..."
Poor Hyūga Masashi, after less than five seconds of being formidable, he was back to his original state!
Aoi kicked Hyūga Masashi away, sneering dismissively: "Such a big man, why are you crying? Aren't you ashamed?"
"But, I was really scared…"
This was the first time Hyūga Masashi had faced death so closely!
"Get out, get out, get out! Don't say you're my teammate anymore." Aoi kicked Hyūga Masashi away. The Earth Style Wall in front of him conveniently collapsed with a roar.
It was only then that Aoi officially met Kakuzu!
"Kakuzu!"
Aoi narrowed his eyes and sneered: "You couldn't hold back after all!"
He had deliberately used himself and Hyūga Masashi as bait, all to lure out this gold-devouring monster under prepared conditions!
"You know me?"
Kakuzu frowned, calmly retracting the Earth Grudge Fear tentacles that had been buried underground.
"Of course, I do. A powerful ninja who fought the First Hokage and escaped." Aoi smiled and nodded, activating both Sage Mode and the Eight Gates Formation: "The immortal monster, renowned for living as long as heaven and earth!"
Although they seemed to be exchanging pleasantries, Aoi and Kakuzu were secretly searching for each other's weaknesses...
Unfortunately, neither of them could find an opening for a while.
Impenetrable!
This was Aoi's assessment of Kakuzu!
Earth Grudge Fear and Kakuzu's powerful taijutsu abilities, when using tentacle heavy punches, were even stronger than brute force. In addition, his other four masks represented four different chakra natures...
Whether it was taijutsu or ninjutsu, he was impenetrable!
"There are no loopholes!"
Kakuzu was also secretly alarmed. Sage Mode and the Eight Gates Formation were both comprehensive enhancement ninjutsu. Both his chakra and strength were on par with Kakuzu's!
Finally, it was Kakuzu who couldn't hold back and made the first move!
"Water Style – Water Formation Wall!"
A huge water wall surged towards Aoi. Although it didn't seem to have much destructive power, it was full of pressure...
Aoi dodged, such an attack was too low-level for him. At his speed, these water walls could do nothing but wet the ground!
"Water Style – Water Formation Wall!"
But Kakuzu continued to unleash the Water Formation Wall without pause, forcing Aoi to constantly dodge.
Ten minutes later...
"Is this guy's chakra infinite?"
Kakuzu continued to spew out massive Water Formation Walls. Hyūga Masashi, hiding in the distance, was dumbfounded: "What a monster!"
Just the second stage of the curse mark had completely rendered him incapable of fighting. Compared to Kakuzu, he now realized how weak his previously proud strength was...
"It's about time…"
Kakuzu nodded inwardly. He had already turned this land into a watery expanse. This way, his plan would...
But before he could act, Aoi suddenly burst into laughter: "It's about time!"
"Hmm?"
Kakuzu's eyes widened in confusion: Why did this guy steal my line?
"Mi—Hai—Iku!"
Aoi grinned sinisterly: "Sage Mode Lightning Blade!"
Terrifying residual white lightning crackled in Aoi's palm. The chakra power contained within it made heaven and earth lose their color, as if the entire world had become a silent film set...
"Too naive!"
Kakuzu sneered and stomped on the ground. At such a distance, he could easily dodge: This Sage Mode Lightning Blade, though powerful, was just a joke if it couldn't hit its target...
But at that moment, Aoi inexplicably started laughing. Kakuzu's pupils contracted sharply, and his heart instinctively sensed danger...
However...
It was too late!
Aoi grinned sinisterly and fiercely turned his palms, thrusting the Sage Mode Lightning Serpent into the ground: "Kakuzu, you're the one who's too naive!"
"Sage Mode Lightning Blade!"
Terrifying white lightning erupted violently. Horrifying currents instantly surged through the accumulated water on the ground, turning the entire land into an ocean of lightning!
