Konoha: Archers of the Hyuga family

call out--

There was a soft sound, and Kakuzu showed a painful expression.

The thunder attribute mask that originally showed off his power instantly withered.

A large mosaic of black lines was squeezed out from the fracture of Kakuzu's arm together with the thunder attribute mask, and the mask shattered as he fell from the tree.

The tangled lines also melted quickly, turning into a pool of black liquid after landing, exuding an unpleasant stench.

Kakuzu quickly found what hit him...

It was a slender black Senbon, which was almost invisible to the naked eye under the cover of night. It was this thing that accurately penetrated the thunder attribute heart, easily taking away Kakuzu's life.

Hinata Kumokawa's figure appeared behind him...

"Is it the teleportation technique? It's so fast~"

As for the Senbon, Kakuzu didn't pay special attention to it. He just regarded it as some kind of disposable ninja. He didn't notice that "Senbon" circled and slowly flew back to Hinata Kumikawa.

The idea is a bit tricky...

Jiaodu wanted to retreat.

After all, there is still a very valuable target waiting for him on this trip to the Fire Country. He has lost too much money for a "passerby" who has no clear price tag, even if he wins, he will lose blood.

Thinking about it, Kakuzu was ready to retreat...

Water Escape·Water Curtain!

Kakuzu suddenly stretched out another head from his shoulder, and sprayed a fan-shaped water jet at Hinata Kumikawa... It looked like a bifurcated water jet connected by a water curtain in the middle, and its power was indeed extraordinary.

The tree trunk that the two people hugged was instantly cut in front of the thin water flow.

I don’t know if Hinata Kumokawa is alive or not, but all the trees in that fan-shaped area have been beheaded.

Kakuzu didn't intend to use this move to kill Hinata Kumikawa, he just delayed it.

When the water curtain shattered everything, Kakuzu's right arm that had just been retracted quickly expanded, two masks squeezed out from the opening of the forearm, and charged directly in the direction of Hinata Kumikawa.

Wind and fire chakra gathered in the mouth of the mask, and soon accumulated to a terrifying amount.

At the end of the water curtain's sweeping cut, flames and hurricanes erupted simultaneously.

The target was not Hinata Kumikawa, but his own feet.

Compound Ninja Technique: Strange Face Flame Explosion!

The flames were swept into the hurricane, and after hitting the ground, they quickly spread around, creating a sea of ​​​​fire in the forest.

Kakuzu himself, on the other hand, simply became himself in the fire, burrowed into the ground through the flames, and then escaped and ran away...

A few minutes later, Kakuzu escaped from the ground.

His clothes had been burned away, revealing his fragmented body sewn together with black thread. His body was protected by the art of earth spear.

"It's really troublesome~"

Kakuzu looked back at the sea of ​​​​fire, planning to find a heart to deal with it first, then put on his clothes and go find the target. He would earn 5000 million taels first, and then talk about the extra money.

As for having a heart destroyed, does it require revenge...

He has lived long enough. It is too bad to recuperate and take revenge because of being beaten. Retreating when encountering difficulties is the truth... He has lived too long and understands that he will hardly make any progress.

If skills are inferior to others now, the gap will only get wider in the future.

They can't survive themselves anyway, wouldn't it be nice to make money and wait until they die to sort out their inheritance...

Only by bullying the weak and fearing the strong can you live longer.

Are you making money? It's not shabby.

Kakuzu had just taken two steps to sell when he suddenly felt something was wrong. He frowned and his body suddenly lost strength. Then a purple-black sphere opened the line behind him and burst out.

The huge pain made Kakuzu lie on the ground unable to move, and could only let the sphere leave, taking away one of his own hearts.

Following closely behind was the wind attribute mask monster, which lost its strength just halfway out of the hole and turned into putrid black slime...

"By the way, why are you in the Fire Country?"

Hinata Unkawa's voice sounded behind him, and a purple-black sphere wrapped with part of the earth's resentment and a wind-attribute heart floated beside him. If you look closely at the surface of the sphere, you can see a folding fan pattern.

As a well-informed old guy, Kakuzu instantly understood where the Hyuuga brat's teleportation technique came from.

"Flying Thunder God, it's really... I thought that only a young man with yellow hair inherited the speed and power of the Second Hokage. I didn't expect that there are others who can master this technique. It's not a loss to die in this technique."

"I won't kill you. If you don't attack first, we can still have a chat... I am a person who respects the old and loves the young, and I like chatting with some old people the most."

Even if Kakuzu doesn't stir up trouble, it's impossible to let him go now that he's met Hinata Kumikawa.

How could we let go of such rare experimental materials?

Of course, Hinata Kumokawa would not kill him.

People like Kakuzu are standard villains. His motivation for living is all about money. He will do almost anything for money... unless this matter makes him think that it seriously threatens his life.

Even calling him a villain is a bit much...

He is obviously a standard professional ninja, and he might become a partner in the future. Since Nagato can recruit him, it means that he can do it in the future.

"Let's talk about the purpose of coming to the Country of Fire. Although it has been a little peaceful recently, there is still war here, so there should be no money-making work..."

"It's a bounty mission from Konoha. Someone attacked a scroll that sealed a special corpse in a certain stronghold. The bounty is 5000 million."

Kakuzu reluctantly stood up and re-sewed his back with Ji Yu.

"A corpse thief?"

"It is said that there are several corpses of Uchiha and Hyuga clan members. No one was found for many days, so the reward was placed underground..."

……

Hinata Kumokawa naturally has no time to care about this.

He was anxious to get home.

After letting go of Kakuzu, who had three lives left, Hinata Kumokawa continued on his way with a heart full of resentment.

The fire in the distance grew brighter and brighter, already turning half of the night sky red.

If this were placed in a legal society, everyone would be able to get along indefinitely.

……

……

Hinata Tatsumi closed his eyes and rubbed his sore eyes.

Now, in addition to guarding against the Iwa nin, he also had to guard against a thief who stole corpses.

On the battlefield before, he saw his companion being packed away by a very strange person. His chakra circuit was completely different from that of ordinary ninjas. Unfortunately, because he was stuck at the edge of the viewing angle, he had not yet adjusted his vision to see the opponent's true face... …

The only thing that can be confirmed is that he is still active on this battlefield.

Many Iwa ninjas and Konoha ninjas die every day. This man is like a scavenger, packing up valuable corpses before both sides clear the battlefield...

Since his last successful attack on a stronghold, every stronghold is now tense.

Moreover, Hinata Tatsumi clearly knew how many deceased members of the Blood Successor Limited Family were in the stronghold. If he still had the guts to attack the next target... then it would definitely be here.
