Naruto's Endless Pretense

Although Sasuke didn't leave the detonating charm on Hidan's head, he quietly left the Flying Thunder God's technique in his hair.With the Flying Thunder God Technique, he rescued Tayuya and also severely injured Kakuzu.

"If you dare to hurt my subordinates, you must die!"

It was not because he was brainwashed by Konoha's will of fire. Sasuke himself was a person who valued his companions.Even the villains in the original work like Tayuya and Sakon become members of a class and are the subordinates he must protect.

"I'm sorry, Sasuke-sama, I've burdened you."

Tayuya, who was lying in Sasuke's arms, kept coughing up blood, which made Sasuke feel even more angry.This guy Kakuzu actually treated his subordinates like this in front of him, which was unbearable.

Being excellent also has troubles. When you gain strength, you will be isolated and become arrogant.This is something that almost every outstanding Uchiha hero has, including Madara, Shisui, and Itachi.Perhaps Sasuke relied on his own efforts to unite with everyone, but he also became more arrogant than before.

That is a kind of arrogance based on confidence in strength, an arrogance that is not arrogance.

Sasuke instantly entered sage mode, with red eye shadow and black cloud seal appearing on his face.Green medical chakra spreads out from the left hand holding Tayuya. Now in sage mode, Sasuke can barely control the local medical chakra mode to treat others.

Being able to heal others without using seals is something that only the first Hokage can do.

Tayuya's wound was deep.In addition to several holes in his heart that were pierced by tentacles, there were many fractures all over his body, and some of his internal organs were also ruptured due to squeezing.The battle must be resolved as soon as possible to perform surgery on her, otherwise her life may be in danger.

"I don't have time to ink with you anymore."

Sasuke once again aimed his right hand at Kakuzu, who had just accepted the new heart, and squeezed it hard.However, things did not develop as he thought. Not only did no ice pick appear in Kakuzu's body, but he also successfully received a new heart.

"Your ice escape is indeed very powerful. It can actually penetrate the chakra into the meridians and cells of the place. Even a body like mine cannot avoid it, so that's why you destroyed the fire attribute heart before."

Kakuzu distanced himself again and entered long-distance mode, but this time there was only a thunder-attribute mask monster protecting him.And his body absorbed the new water attribute heart.

"As long as all the chakra meridians are gathered into the heart, it will no longer affect the newly captured heart. It seems that I made the right bet."

The tentacles of the thunder-type masked monster were inserted into the main body and merged into one body, and the rear corners looked like a two-headed monster.Controlling the three thick tentacles derived from his hands and mouth, Kakuzu quickly attacked Sasuke from all directions.

Kakashi and others immediately rushed to the battlefield when they saw Sasuke being attacked.However, the distance between the two sides is too far, and it is difficult to reach them in a time like the ninja, where the winner is decided in seconds.

Sasuke was holding Tayuya in his arms, and he had no time to treat the injuries on his legs, so he could only rely on Doyuki's length for defense.Different from the previous temptation, Kakuzu's attack this time seemed very purposeful. He first used his tentacles to feint, forcing Sasuke to move, and then released the ninjutsu at the predetermined position.

"Flying Thunder God, Dao Lei!"

A bunch of lightning guns were transferred to the position in the village, and a huge explosion occurred.In order to avoid Kakuzu's attack, Sasuke couldn't care less about the damage he would cause to the village.The speed of Thunder Release: Pseudo Darkness is too fast. At the current speed, only Flying Thunder God Guide Lei can avoid it.

He also considered whether to take Tayuya and Sakon away directly, but at present, Tayuya's injury was too serious and he had to rely on his own medical ninjutsu to hang him up.And Kakashi and Zabuza alone were a little worried about dealing with Kakuzu.

Just when Sasuke hesitated, Kakuzu caught the moment of trance and spurted a thick jet of water from his mouth.The masked monster next to him was not idle either, and the fused thunder attribute chakra was derived from the water.The Razor, which was beating like a vein, swam back and forth in the water cannon. With the impact of the water column, it directly enveloped Sasuke and released a powerful electric shock.

"Innocent little brat, is this solved?"

Kakuzu gasped and stared at the water column rising against gravity in front of him, and slowly approached to confirm.Sasuke's ice escape actually caused a lot of damage to him. It is a very chakra-consuming thing to concentrate his own chakra meridians and discard them and then fuse the meridians of other people's hearts.He doesn't have much physical strength now.

"It's all because you used so much Fire Release that I even forgot about it."

Before he finished speaking, bursts of "click" sounds came from the water column, and a bolt of electric light emerged from the water curtain.Because the distance was too close and Kakuzu's condition was not at its peak, he did not completely dodge and was stabbed in the right arm.

"This is the country of snow, it's my home field."

Sasuke held Tayuya in one hand and slowly advanced with the Chidori Spear in the other.And a thin layer of ice actually condensed around him. It was this layer of ice that blocked Sasuke and Tayuya from Kakuzu's ninjutsu.

Seeing that Chidori temporarily paralyzed Kakuzu's body, Sasuke didn't wait for the thunder attribute mask monster to attack, and directly moved the Chidori sharp spear to cut off the mask outside Kakuzu's right shoulder.Then water spears appeared out of thin air and pierced Kakuzu's body, piercing his last heart.

"You deserve to die too, old ghost."

Completely defeated, Kakuzu slowly fell forward and fell to the ground, and the black tentacles broke, revealing his body.It was fragmented, piece by piece like an arthropod, and completely devoid of human appearance.

"Am I going to die? I'm really unwilling."

Kakuzu who was lying on the ground did not die immediately because his heart was pierced, perhaps because of the earth's resentment.He raised his head slightly and looked at the junior who killed him, his eyes showing hatred, unwillingness and even nostalgia.

Kakashi and Zabuza also arrived at the scene, and Kakuzu's death was a foregone conclusion.However, Sasuke did not leave immediately to treat Tayuya and Sakon.He still had something to ask Kakuzu.

"Is it just to survive that you become like a human being or a ghost? It's such a ridiculous idea. This kind of behavior that violates the laws of nature will cause the body to gain immortality, but the spirit will also decay."

In response to Sasuke's soliloquy, Kakuzu also responded with a mocking smile.

"Uchiha brat, you are still too young. No matter who it is, once they find out that they are going to die, they will be afraid. If their spirit is corrupt, they will try their best to find a sense of existence. This is human instinct, you can't resist it .”

"Is that why you are so obsessed with money? And you have turned yourself into a puppet on strings."

"Ah, that's it. In fact, there is no difference between a human and a puppet."

Perhaps it was in retrospect that Kakuzu suddenly became energetic.His eyes were also full of energy, as if he was recalling his long life.

"They are all empty, there is no sustenance inside, and there are no threads outside to hold them."

"He will definitely die."

Sasuke was silent for a while, then turned around with Tayuya in his arms.

"One last question for you, who sent you to kill me?"

"...I'll tell you part of it, not Itachi."

※※※

that night.

The original battlefield has been cleared.Kakuzu's body was buried on the spot, while Hidan's head was buried in a deep pit dug elsewhere by Kakashi.Because the third doctor proposed to be guarded by Snow Country, Sasuke agreed.

Anyway, it’s just a head, there’s no risk.It will automatically rot after a year or two.

However, Sasuke made a mistake, and this head caused him a lot of trouble in the future.

Under the cover of night, the two strong figures escaped the prying eyes of the guards and arrived at the place where Hidan was buried deeply.

There was a crow standing on one of the shoulders, and there was a trace of solidified blood on the crow's belly.The three magatama in the blood-red eyes slowly connected into a sickle-shaped windmill.

"Itachi, he asked you to assist Kakuzu Hidan in his actions. Isn't it too late to come here now?"

"I gave it to Kakuzu Crow because he didn't have enough strength. And it's not too late to take back Hidan now."

Kisame thought for a while and then asked: "Are you unable to do anything to your brother? It was the same last time when I went to capture Kyuubi. It was clear that all I needed to do was make up for it..."

Before Kisame could finish his words, a cold murderous aura forced him to be unable to move.

"It's just not the time yet."

Itachi's tone was calm, but his two Sharingan eyes moved rapidly, forming a sickle-shaped windmill like the crows on his shoulders.

"But it's too soon."
