Shinji glanced at the fully lit Seven Kill Lamps on the Kubikiribōchō, his heart filled with confidence.
At this moment, he could attack and defend.
If he was really pushed to the brink, he could just find a way to kill Kakuzu and Konan here, and then take Hidan and hide back in the Jashin religion.
The Six Paths of Pain were awesome, but the main body, Nagato, was inconvenient to move.
If he seized the opportunity, he might be able to behead him with one strike!
So Shinji dragged his sword and ran out, preparing to test the waters and also estimate the cost of killing the enemy.
And Kakuzu, seeing that the ignorant kid had taken the initiative to attack him, immediately stopped hesitating.
A surge of energy erupted from his back, and two somewhat creepy masked monsters suddenly appeared on his shoulders.
"Fire Release: Intelligent Hard Work!"
The fierce sea of fire instantly pounced towards Shinji.
At the same time, another masked monster opened its mouth wide...
"Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"
Combined Ninjutsu: Flame Wind Chaotic Wave!
The fire borrowed the power of the wind, and the two ninjutsu mixed and stacked together, instantly forming a more powerful combined ninjutsu.
The already large sea of fire was amplified and spread by the strong wind pressure, and the destructive power was more than doubled!
Faced with this large-scale AOE attack, even Shinji had to treat it with caution.
Blood Manipulation Technique: Blood Crystal Prison!
Slitting his wrist, the gushing blood instantly enveloped Shinji, and then immediately condensed into a hard solid form.
Because the shape was similar to crystal, Shinji named it Blood Crystal Prison.
It could be used to protect himself and to imprison the enemy.
With a bang!
The raging sea of fire instantly submerged Shinji, like a sea wave crashing hard on a solid reef.
But the reef was still a reef, and it was not so easy to be shattered by the waves.
Shinji, who was in the center of the sea of fire, was as stable as Mount Tai at this moment.
Maybe the flames could evaporate the blood, but when he used Blood Manipulation to condense the blood into crystals, the melting point rose to a new high point.
And this new high point could not be melted and broken by ordinary flames.
So when the sea of fire went out, under Kakuzu's gloomy gaze, the blood crystals wrapped around Shinji's body immediately shattered into a sky full of stars, and the person inside was unscathed.
"Crimson Scale Surge - Load!"
Blood marks with some mysterious patterns quietly appeared on his face.
Shinji felt the blood flowing in his body like boiling, and almost in the blink of an eye crossed the last ten meters, came to Kakuzu, and the Kubikiribōchō in his hand suddenly waved up, slashing towards Kakuzu's neck.
The cold blade carried a cold light, and although it had not yet arrived, it had already caused the skin on Kakuzu's neck to feel a slight tingling sensation.
Kakuzu's heart trembled, and he dared not be careless.
"Earth Release: Earth Spear!"
After forming a hand seal with one hand at the fastest speed, Kakuzu only had time to block his hardened left arm in front of him.
With a ding sound, the Kubikiribōchō in Shinji's hand made a sound like a violent metal collision after hitting Kakuzu's black arm.
Then, with a bang, Kakuzu flew sideways, smashing into a dilapidated house next to him, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Shinji didn't believe in the 'no damage in smoke' law, and without saying a word, he carried the Kubikiribōchō and chased after him.
But at this moment, a large number of black threads immediately spewed out, not only directly lifting the entire ruins, but also taking the opportunity to force back Shinji, who was chasing after him.
Looking again, Kakuzu had already entered the Earth Grudge Fear mode. The terrifying black threads danced wildly in the air like demons, hiding and covering Kakuzu's body.
However, through the gaps, Shinji still noticed that Kakuzu's left arm had a cut, and black threads were quickly sewing it up.
Undoubtedly, with the previous strike, he still injured the opponent, but failed to completely break through the defense.
This result made him feel more relaxed.
"Rude kid, your heart is reserved by me, die!"
Kakuzu, who was forced to use his true skills after only a few rounds, was furious.
The black threads erupting from his back intertwined and entangled each other, immediately forming eight additional 'hands and feet', supporting Kakuzu's movement and attack.
And Kakuzu was like 'Doctor Octopus' in the Spider-Man movie, controlling the huge cluster of black threads to smash down on Shinji.
Bang!
A big pit was immediately smashed into the ground.
And this was just the beginning.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Shinji quickly dodged, each time avoiding the falling 'fist' in advance.
Kakuzu seemed to have noticed this embarrassing problem, so he gritted his teeth and decisively 'liberated' two large bundles of black threads, letting them turn into black threads all over the sky to restrain him.
Shinji slashed left and right a few times, and found that this thing was a bit endless. He glanced at Konan, who had already distanced himself, and immediately activated his sword skill!
Stealth Break Strike!
As the Seven Kill Lamps lit up on the Kubikiribōchō were all activated, turning into a special energy to wrap it.
Shinji disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye, and then teleported to Kakuzu's back like a ghost.
Throughout the entire process, Kakuzu and Konan failed to react.
But when Shinji swung his knife, Kakuzu immediately felt a strong tearing sensation coming from behind him. At the same time, Konan shouted, "Behind you!"
"Too late!"
A fierce look flashed in Kakuzu's eyes, formed a hand seal with one hand, and then a water-attribute masked monster on his back almost pounced out at the fastest speed.
Pfft!
Shinji's originally sure-kill strike was blocked by a masked monster, but not completely blocked.
Because the destructive power of this strike after breaking stealth was twice the normal power!
So the masked monster that Kakuzu was forced to use to block the knife was very smoothly cut in half, and then the Kubikiribōchō continued to slash on Kakuzu's back, which had turned pitch black.
At the critical moment, Kakuzu used Earth Release to enter a hardened defensive form.
An ear-piercing friction sound like cutting metal immediately rang out.
With just a little more time, Shinji could split him in half.
But the thick tentacles that emerged from Kakuzu's body were not decorations after all, and directly smashed him away with a bang.
"Ugh cough cough..."
Kakuzu's face changed, and he directly spat out a large mouthful of blood.
Although he had temporarily resolved the crisis of death, his condition was very bad at this time.
Not only was one of his hearts destroyed, but also a deep and long wound was cut on his back.
If he had reacted a little slower, he might have been cut in half by now.
As for the black threads that were cut off together just now, there were even more countless of them.
"How did that guy break through my Earth Grudge Fear and come behind me in an instant?" Kakuzu was a little surprised and uncertain.
At the same time, he couldn't figure out how such a troublesome but unknown kid would suddenly appear here?!
