Naruto's Endless Pretense

Sakura had mixed emotions when she took Sasuke from Kakashi.She was heartbroken looking at the haggard Sasuke in front of her, but she was also a little happy.The chest injury was close to the heart and the area was relatively large, but fortunately Kakashi rescued him in time and it was not too serious.According to what Sasuke taught in his memory, he skillfully cleaned the wound with water, applied ointment, and then wrapped a breathable bandage.

Now I can help Sasuke to some extent, at least I can give him a shoulder to lean on.

However, before Sasuke could recover enough to use Palm Senjutsu to heal himself, the battlefield changed dramatically.Zabuza defected before the battle and killed Fuka Furita while the snow ninja and Kakuzu were focusing on Fuka Koyuki and Sasuke.Afterwards, Shiro tried to negotiate with Kakuzu to get this powerful enemy to give up the fight.

"How about letting it go?"

"I'm not here for money this time."

In an instant, the two were fighting.Kakuzu rushed to Shiro's side and used powerful pseudo-darkness, and Shiro's whole body turned into cherry blossoms and bloomed.Not only did he escape the Thunder Release attack, he also successfully pierced Kakuzu's heart from behind.

"As expected, you have saved this thunder attribute chakra property and insight before."

When Sakura saw the scene in front of her, she took a deep breath and couldn't believe it.

"This substitute technique, and Chidori..."

"Yes, that is Sasuke-sama."

Tayuya stood next to Sakura at some point, with a mocking tone in his voice.When Sakura heard this, she looked at the person in her arms who was moaning in pain in surprise.

"Zabuza-sama, Sasuke-kun, I'm sorry I couldn't be of much help."

Sure enough, he is Bai.

"If you can't even tell the real person from a fake, your love only reaches this level." Tayuya's hostile words pierced into Sakura's heart like a thorn.

"Hey, Tayuya. Why are you hanging around there? Sasuke-sama is waiting for us!"

Sakon called out, and Tayuya said no more. He just looked at Sakura deeply with a mixture of pity and disdain and left.Looking at the retreating figure, Sakura couldn't help but shed tears.It was clear that Sasuke was fine, but why was he so heartbroken?

On the other side of the battlefield, Sasuke was confronting Kakuzu.Although he had pierced Kakuzu's heart with a Chidori, this monster who fought against the First Hokage had five hearts, so he should not be careless.The right hand behind his back quietly made a gesture to Zabuza, and then his figure immediately retreated.

Seeing Sasuke trying to escape, Kakuzu immediately released the earth spear technique to regain his body's mobility and chased after him.However, the surrounding cherry blossom petals exploded one after another like detonating talismans. In desperation, Kakuzu could only use Demizu Release: Water Curtain Tent and spit out extremely powerful water cannons from his mouth to resist the explosion.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sasuke created a shadow clone and Zabuza returned to Haku's side to treat the injured Haku.

"I'm sorry, Bai, for making you take such a big risk."

In Sasuke's expectation, it was him and Zabuza who were going to raid Fenghua Furumao's lair, and Shiro just had to pretend to be him for a while.If he told everyone about the beheading plan, even if there was a risk of leakage, Kakashi and others would not allow him to take the risk.

Unexpectedly, the two of them actually met Akatsuki Kakuzu in the palace, which made Sasuke change his plan.Because members of the Akatsuki organization spend most of their time together, Hidan's ability to curse his opponent to bear the same damage as himself is too tricky. Sasuke was also tricked from behind during a fierce battle with Kakuzu. .

Although Kakuzu and Hidan have bad personalities, they generally don't interfere in each other's affairs.But judging from the tacit understanding between the two in the original work, they should have a certain bond. It is better not to take such a fatal risk.

"You look a lot like Itachi, and with those Sharingan eyes, are you the real Uchiha Sasuke? It seems like you don't have to bother looking anymore."

Kakuzu's face became inexplicably relaxed as he watched Sasuke take off his disguise and reveal his original appearance.This made Sasuke look a little strange.

"What? Is Mr. Kakuzu still interested in me?"

"Ah, as I said just now, I'm not here for the money. The wealth of such a small country is worth my life."

Kakuzu said as he took off the Akatsuki organization's black and red cloud windbreaker, revealing his terrifying upper body.The body looked like it had been put back together after being dismembered, with traces of black sutures on many joints.Moreover, these sewn parts are very loose, with gaps visible to the naked eye, and black tentacles spread out from the body, turning Jiaodu into a terrifying tentacle monster.

"Secret Art Earth Resentment."

The four attribute masks on Kakuzu's back struggled to escape from Kakuzu's body, along with a large group of black tentacles that looked like hearts.After a while, a large number of tentacles emerged from these masks and woven into a single monster.And one of the broken mask monsters fell to the ground and spit out blood and died as soon as it took shape. This was the earth-type heart that Sasuke had just destroyed.

"Kid, I am entrusted by someone to kill you with all my strength."

"Was it me who was the target?"

Sasuke chuckled and snapped his fingers.Sakon, Ukon and Tayuya, who had been on standby for a long time, immediately jumped around Kakuzu and cooperated with Sasuke in forming seals.Four translucent purple walls rise up with four people at the corners and ends at the southeast and northwest, burning with terrifying purple flames.

The Four Purple Flame Formation is not Orochimaru's unique ninjutsu. After asking for instructions from three generations, Sasuke easily learned this barrier technique.Another shadow clone was created to maintain the barrier. Sasuke walked up to Kakuzu and asked Tayuya and others to create a reverse barrier.The Four Purple Flame Formation is easily broken from the inside, and only two opposite barriers can block a Kage level powerhouse like Kakuzu.

"Although your partner hasn't appeared for so long, it's better for us to fight one-on-one just in case."

Sasuke said as purple chakra burned all over his body and he entered escape mode.All three magatama on the cloak also lit up, increasing the speed to the maximum.Then his right hand pulled out the Daoxue long sword from the psychic diagram on his left arm, and the little finger of his left hand took advantage of the situation and drew a trident kunai from the ninja bag and placed it across his chest.

"Do you want to challenge me to a duel? You are such an arrogant brat. Do you know who I am? You dare to face me alone. I am the man who fought against the First Hokage."

Kakuzu sneered, and the mask that controlled the wind and fire attributes released another fusion ninjutsu that was hard and oppressive. A huge tornado of flames swept across and pressed against the four walls of the four-purple flame array.These two ninjutsu are originally large-scale ninjutsu, but after fusion, the space of the Four Purple Flame Formation becomes too small.

Regardless of the possibility of hurting himself, Kakuzu released such ninjutsu in order to accurately hit Sasuke.In his opinion, Sasuke may have good talent, but his strength may not be enough. Using a shadow clone to divide chakra into three parts will definitely not be able to stop this move.So while using the ninjutsu, the black tentacles on his hands were ready to capture Sasuke's heart.

But when he wanted to take action, he found that on the other side of the fire storm, Sasuke was burning with green chakra, looking at him with a weird smile.

"He actually blocked the ninjutsu out of thin air. Was it that strange state that enhanced his defense?"

"Hey, grandpa. Since you have fought against the First Hokage, you should also know his brother's special skills, right?"

The sound in his ears startled Kakuzu.Turning around quickly, he saw Sasuke holding the trident kunai in his teeth, holding the overly long nodachi in his hands and staring at him.

"You are just a weakling abandoned by the times, that's all."
