In a dark cave, a huge monster raised its hands, palms clenched into claws, palms upward, and ten fingers that looked like dead tree bark as ten support points.
There are a few phantoms standing scattered on each support point.
The magic of the lantern body.
Members of the Akatsuki organization sit and emit waves of thoughts converted with chakra, and as the leader, Pain receives these waves, amplifies these waves of thoughts and then manifests the illusion in a specific place.
This illusion is different from ordinary images. If it is transferred through Pain, various ninjutsu can be activated!
"It's so embarrassing. Did Kakuzu get out of that mess?"
The white monster, who fully utilized his funny attributes, smiled and stared at Kakuzu for a while.
It adds a bit of life to the lifeless atmosphere out of thin air.
"Shut up!"
A vein popped out on Kakuzu's forehead. If the people standing here weren't real people, he really wanted to stab that idiot Bai Jue to death with one tentacle.
He still hasn't gotten over it yet!
He would actually run away!
And he ran away from a group of juniors!
For an old monster like Kakuzu who has lived for decades, even the Third Tsuchikage and the Third Hokage are his descendants!
"What happened? Orochimaru, tell me!"
Bai Zetsu shifted his target to Orochimaru again.
Two Kage-level warriors faced off against one genin.
I thought it was a sure-fire mission, so Bai Jue didn't send a clone to monitor it.
The result was unexpected.
The other half of Black Zetsu was silent. It seemed that Black Zetsu and White Zetsu had one body and two minds, but in fact, it was Black Zetsu who really controlled Zetsu, not White Zetsu.
Orochimaru glanced at Bai Zetsu indifferently and didn't bother to answer him.
This guy is not only a weirdo, but also a super talkative one.
Ignoring him is the most correct choice.
"How's the mission going?"
Leader Payne asked in a deep voice.
Three hundred million taels is not a small amount.
Especially now that they have just destroyed the leader of the Rain Ninja Village, Demigod Hanzo, and occupied the Kingdom of Rain, Akatsuki needs a large amount of funds for development.
"The mission failed, Jiraiya and Tsunade are both here, and that brat"
At this point, Kakuzu's voice stopped.
Under the gaze of everyone, his cheeks felt a little hot.
Before setting off, he vowed that this mission would be successful, but he was just a brat blown out of Konoha.
What the hell drove the Raikage away.
all fake!
Kakuzu didn't believe it at all, let alone Kakuzu, everyone present except Orochimaru didn't believe it.
But now it is
Although I hate to admit it, the fact is the fact.
"I'm afraid the Raikage was really beaten away by that brat."
Kakuzu said in a deep voice, even he himself didn't notice how helpless his tone was.
Is there anything more uncomfortable than being unable to impress someone?
As soon as these words came out, except for Orochimaru, a look of surprise flashed across the faces of everyone else. Everyone present was a shadow-level expert.
Even Zetsu, who is not good at fighting, has very strange abilities.
Naturally, it was impossible to pay attention to a genin for a mission of their level.
If it hadn't been for the reward of 300 million taels and the defeat of the Raikage, the name Xili might not have been heard by this group of people.
"What's the specific situation?"
An iceberg beauty with a lip nail on her lower lip asked in a solemn voice.
"He is very powerful. He is the strongest person I have ever seen."
What Kakuzu still remembers is the terrifying power of Seeli. It is not the strange power punch that accurately controls the burst of chakra, but the purest physical strength.
An ordinary punch carries an overwhelming momentum, like the weight of a huge mountain.
He will never forget
The earth escape's hardened skin was easily broken, and with his physical skills, he was swatted away like a fly, more than once!
It's so exaggerated that it can no longer be described by humans.
"Besides his strength, the most terrifying thing is his defense."
"No matter whether it was Thunder Escape, Fire Escape, or Earth Escape, it didn't cause him the slightest harm."
Kakuzu felt that this battle was very frustrating. The fundamental reason was that he did not have enough information about the Bull Demon King.
The person in charge of intelligence in the Akatsuki organization is Zetsu, to be precise, Bai Zetsu.
That's why Kakuzu's tone towards Bai Zetsu was so harsh at the beginning.
He felt that the blame should be paid off.
"Is it the Bloodline Limit of the Bull Demon King? I heard it's called the Heavy Gold Flame. It has a defense comparable to steel, and it can increase power attacks."
Black Jue's low and hoarse voice sounded.
Everyone frowned when they heard this. If it was just a steel-like defense, it would be impossible for Kakuzu to be helpless.
Steel can't defend against strong men of their level.
"The rumors are wrong. How can that kind of defense be comparable to steel?"
Kakuzu shook his head. His combined wind and fire ninjutsu could melt even a pile of hundred-refined steel bars into molten iron, while the Minotaur's clothes were only burned to ashes.
As for the Bull Demon King himself? That’s bullshit!
"In addition to the steel-like physical defense, I'm afraid there is also some attribute resistance."
At this time, Orochimaru, who had been silent all this time, said, "For example, the paralysis effect of Thunder Release, the burning effect of Fire Release, etc."
"Oh? It's quite an interesting ability!"
Bai Jue pretended to be stupid and said in a funny way.
It was quiet again, no one answered.
After some time, the figure who had been silent until now stood up.
"Since physical attacks and ninjutsu attacks are useless, let's try poison!"
The one who spoke was a short man with a hunchback.
He is the latest member of the Akatsuki organization, Red Sand Scorpion.
The real body of the red sand scorpion is a very handsome young man, but the hunchbacked dwarf who appears in the eyes of the world is just a human puppet carrying the real body of the scorpion, Fei Liuhu.
"Forget it, there is no need to hunt him down specifically."
Payne spoke up and directly rejected Scorpion's proposal, "Now the organization is still in the stage of accumulating funds, so try to keep a low profile."
"What if we can meet?"
Scorpion asked in a calm tone.
The guy who can defeat the Raikage and defeat Kakuzu and Orochimaru, and has such a powerful defensive power is the blood successor Kaikai.
Maybe it's a good human puppet material.
"If we happen to meet him, we will take 300 million taels of his head."
Payne said in a calm tone.
…
At the same time, Tanshu Street leads to the forest path of Konoha Village.
Kakashi was exchanging information with Jiraiya, "The person next to Orochimaru is called Kakuzu. He was from the same era as the first Hokage and was proficient in the changes in the five types of chakra attributes."
"There are five hearts in his body, which represent the five basic chakra attributes, and also mean that he has five lives."
"This information was provided by Xili and has not been confirmed."
After talking for a long time, the last sentence is the key point.
Moreover, Kakashi deliberately emphasized his tone, pointing out that the information was provided by Seeli, and it has not yet been confirmed.
Jiraiya was not an idiot, so he couldn't decipher what Kakashi meant.
"What do you want to say? You suspect that Xili is"
"The ANBU doesn't have this information, so how did Xili know about it?"
Kakuzu is a person who should have been dead for decades. Who would pay attention to such a guy?
The number of ninjas who died at the hands of the First Hokage was not even one thousand but eight hundred, right? Most of them were just fish, so how could every one of them be remembered?
"I remember that Xili once went on a mission and was judged to have died in the Country of Grass, and later came back."
Jiraiya mentioned that he had not been in Konoha these years and had only paid attention to many things, but the specific content was unclear.
Upon hearing this, Kakashi's frown relaxed slightly.
