Following Yakumo and others from the Ninja Village Alliance, as well as Ranmaru from the Akatsuki organization, chasing after Kakuzu and Hidan one after another, others on the battlefield also noticed this change.
After all, the sudden departure of the monster 'Satori', which had been circling in the air pinning down a large number of the Ninja Village Alliance's forces, had a very significant impact on the entire battle situation.
Thus, Kakashi, noticing this, hurriedly arranged manpower to support Yakumo.
On the Akatsuki side.
Other members were stuck on the battlefield and couldn't extricate themselves for a while. So Deidara on the clay bird in the air reacted first, rushing towards that direction.
Kurotsuchi, who had learned the 'Light-Weight Rock Technique' and had been entangled with Deidara in the air, followed closely behind, chasing after Deidara's clay bird.
For a time, the battlefield was divided into two parts.
Although the battlefield at the Land of Grass camp was massive in scale, the other battlefield unfolding around the 'Box of Ultimate Bliss' was the key that could truly determine the entire battle situation.
Speeding on the flat grassland, Yakumo's expression was somewhat solemn.
Ameyuri Ringo aside said: "Ryuzetsu and Chino are not small fry, no need to worry too much!"
Chojuro took over the conversation: "But facing two formal Akatsuki members at once, I'm afraid they are not opponents."
Kakuzu and Hidan's overall strength might not be considered top-tier in the Akatsuki organization. But their combat record was solid. Cloud's Two-Tails Jinchuriki Yugito, known as the 'Perfect Jinchuriki', and Mist's Six-Tails Jinchuriki Utakata were both captured alive by them.
Therefore, in the threat level of Akatsuki members published by the Ninja Village Alliance, Kakuzu and Hidan's rating was not lower than other Akatsuki members.
Darui said: "That monster inside the 'Box of Ultimate Bliss' must be controlled by the Akatsuki organization. I'm afraid Ryuzetsu and Chino have to face not only Akatsuki people but also that monster that ran out of the 'Box of Ultimate Bliss'!"
"Let's move faster!"
Saying that, Yakumo increased her speed again.
The other few also disregarded saving chakra, speeding up one after another to follow.
Behind, Ranmaru maintained a certain distance, hanging far behind the few people.
For Ranmaru who mastered 'Swift Release', catching up with Yakumo and others was not difficult. He was just somewhat wary of Yakumo's 'Ketsuryugan', so he deliberately kept a distance...
On another battlefield.
On the open grassland under the night sky, the huge 'Satori' and Ryuzetsu were fighting fiercely.
However, unexpectedly, 'Satori', which could dodge the attacks of thousands of troops, seemed to lose the ability to discern people's hearts and sense killing intent when facing Ryuzetsu, getting hit frequently.
And not far away, Chino intercepted Kakuzu and Hidan.
Bang bang bang...
The three tangled together, emitting bursts of high-frequency sounds of fists and feet clashing. The cold moonlight reflected down, illuminating the three ghost-like erratic shadows.
Kakuzu and Hidan's taijutsu naturally need not be said more.
In the original timeline, Kakuzu could suppress Kakashi one-on-one, absolutely first-class level in the Ninja World, only a notch weaker than some experts specializing in taijutsu.
Although Hidan's taijutsu was slightly worse, the large-range attack weapon he held and his immortal body made up for his lack of taijutsu skills. Plus, the main pressure was on Kakuzu, so he could attack freely.
And Chino needless to say, with 'Ketsuryugan's insight, combined with fully operating 'Twelve Palaces', in terms of taijutsu alone, she was even a line stronger than Kakuzu. If not for her young age and underdeveloped physique, her advantage in taijutsu would be even greater.
After a round of confrontation, both sides leaped apart.
Drip...
Drip...
Chino touched her cheek and found that in the confrontation just now, her cheek was cut with a shallow wound by Hidan's Triple-Bladed Scythe.
The blood dripping on the grass flowed out from her wound.
Opposite, Hidan glanced at Chino's blood stained on the tip of the Triple-Bladed Scythe and laughed: "Brat, you're finished!"
Kakuzu glanced at 'Satori' in the distance being punched by Ryuzetsu again and frowned: "Hidan, stop playing! Something's wrong over there, finish this brat quickly!"
Hidan first set up the ritual circle on the ground to activate 'Curse Technique: Death Controlling Possessed Blood', then licked Chino's blood stained on the Triple-Bladed Scythe with his tongue, saying: "Brat, you are indeed very strong, but meeting us counts as your bad luck!"
Kakuzu had already moved his gaze away from Chino.
Because in his eyes, Chino, whose blood was taken, was equivalent to a dead person. Because even Jinchuriki or demons like Muku were as fragile as ordinary people under Hidan's 'Curse Technique: Death Controlling Possessed Blood'.
Bang...
Just then, an explosion suddenly sounded beside Kakuzu.
Kakuzu turned his head to look and found that the one exploding was actually Hidan. His entire head was blown off, leaving only his body swaying twice, finally falling to the ground with a thud.
Kakuzu was stunned: "What happened!?"
Hidan's blown-off head rolled a few times after landing, constantly making incoherent sounds.
Only then did Kakuzu discover that Hidan's mouth had been completely blown apart. Even with an immortal body, he couldn't speak for a while to answer his question.
Drip...
Drip...
Drip...
At this time, Chino cut her palm with a kunai, letting more blood flow out, grinning: "I have plenty more blood here, do you want it?"
"Ketsuryugan?"
Information about 'Ketsuryugan' flashed through Kakuzu's mind instantly.
The Akatsuki organization was also collecting intelligence on the Ninja Village Alliance side. Regarding the recently active Ryuzetsu and Chino, they were naturally noticed by the Akatsuki organization too.
It was just that there were too many targets to pay attention to on the Ninja Village Alliance side. Ryuzetsu and Chino had to stand back. Plus, Chino didn't use blood-related abilities just now, so she didn't attract Kakuzu and Hidan's attention.
And Hidan needed the target's blood to activate the curse technique. But 'Ketsuryugan' could manipulate blood. When used to the extreme, it could even detonate blood at will, creating human bombs through blood. So 'Ketsuryugan' completely countered 'Curse Technique: Death Controlling Possessed Blood'.
Rustle...
At this time, all the blood dripping on the ground floated up, turning into drops of blood lingering around Chino.
Chino raised her hand, and these blood drops instantly condensed together, turning into a slender blood blade in Chino's palm.
And Chino's other hand dipped in blood and wiped on her face, as if putting on a blood mask.
"You brat!"
Kakuzu's expression became solemn, no longer caring about 'Satori' in the distance.
"Akatsuki 'K' is here!" Chino lowered her center of gravity, making a posture of assault, continuing: "Kakuzu, Hidan, your lives, I will take!"
