Konoha: I Have a Gravity Training room

"Shadow Imitation Technique! Success!"

Shikamaru stood in the sunlight, his shadow already connected to Hidan's feet.

Clearly, after Shino's bug sneak attack tactic failed, the second tactic began. Sasuke and the other two attracted Hidan's attention, while Shikamaru hid and waited for an opportunity to use the Shadow Imitation Technique.

Fortunately, an old fox like Kakuzu wasn't present, otherwise, it would have been truly difficult to succeed.

Since they had him under control, there was no need for further nonsense.

Sasuke and the other two immediately rushed forward. One used a short blade to cut off the hand holding the Three-Bladed Scythe, another used a Kunai to cut off the other hand, and the third used a Kunai to cut off the head. Asuma's Chakra Blade also cut off his legs.

The dismemberment was completed almost instantly.

Shikamaru also breathed a sigh of relief. This was the first time he had formulated such a plan, and the pressure was immense. Now that the first target was dealt with, the plan could be considered a success.

Hidan's head fell to the ground and was still cursing: "You mice! What kind of heroes are you, fighting me, one person, with a group! How dare you attack a follower of Lord Jashin! Lord Jashin will not spare you!"

Everyone immediately stared at the head with curiosity: So he really was immortal, he was dismembered, yet he was still alive!

Asuma quickly said, "Immediately take his body parts and bury them in different places, then give each part a stack of Exploding Tags and blow them into a pulp. I don't believe he can still live!"

To prevent this guy from reviving, they had to do this, lest this menace come out and harm people again.

The five people acted separately. Following a few explosions, the five regrouped and then rushed towards the toilet area. Natsuki and Kakashi were watching the toilet area to prevent Kakuzu from escaping.

Originally, Natsuki wasn't entirely at ease with the few people dealing with Hidan, but he wasn't the leader and could only follow the arrangements.

Fortunately, everyone was aware of Hidan's information, so dealing with him should not be a problem.

At this moment, in the toilet area, Kakuzu, who had exchanged his money, came out carrying a box of money, but he didn't see Hidan. He immediately frowned, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.

Then, he locked onto a certain direction: "Come out, you're not hiding very well."

Upon hearing this, Natsuki and Kakashi also stopped hiding and flashed out directly, staring at Kakuzu with vigilance.

Kakuzu remained calm: "So it's Konoha Ninja. Where did you take Hidan?"

Natsuki, however, said: "I heard that you, Old Man Kakuzu, once threw a shuriken from eight hundred miles away to sneak attack Hashirama Senju, and then you ran away in a hurry. Then you turned around and told others that you fought Hashirama Senju, and it was a draw. Is that right?"

Kakashi looked at Natsuki in surprise. This was the first time he had heard of this.

There's no way to stall for time like this, right?

Aren't you afraid of angering the other party?

Upon hearing this, Kakuzu stared at Natsuki and said with a bad tone: "You little brat, you actually believe that kind of rumor. I did assassinate Hashirama Senju, but I failed. Hashirama Senju is very strong, as expected of the God of Ninja. However, he is dead, and I am still alive. That is what is most important."

Natsuki, however, said: "You've lived too long, seen too much joy and sorrow and betrayal for profit, and you think that only money is the most trustworthy?"

Kakuzu was surprised: "You know quite a bit, brat! That's right, only money won't betray you, so I want to earn a lot and a lot of money. You should be glad you don't have a bounty, I can spare your life. But, the person next to you seems to be the Konoha technician, Kakashi Hatake. He has a bounty."

Saying this, he actually put down the box full of money, took out a bounty book, and quickly flipped to Kakashi.

"Oh? This amount is quite good, worth making a move!"

How much is it, you should say!

Kakashi was also curious about how much his bounty was, but seeing Kakuzu's stance, he was clearly about to make a move, and Asuma and the others hadn't arrived yet, so he could only try to stall for a bit.

Kakuzu picked up the box and put it into a scroll, then suddenly rushed towards Kakashi.

Kakashi didn't dare to be negligent. After quickly forming hand seals, he spit out a huge fireball: "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

However, Kakuzu only leaped high to successfully evade, and was about to smash down on Kakashi. However, the next second he quickly tilted his head to evade, and a pitch-black crack-like blade grazed his neck with extreme danger.

However, Kakuzu didn't have time to celebrate, as his head actually flew off.

It turned out that Natsuki's Demon Blade Thousand Blades had extended. Kakuzu seemed to have dodged but in fact failed to dodge and was beheaded on the spot!

But Natsuki and Kakashi did not relax their vigilance because of this. They saw several black threads suddenly extend from Kakuzu's neck, pulling the flying head back and then sewing it back on.

Although they had seen it in the anime, seeing a head being sewn back on in person still made them swallow their saliva.

...

Damn, the scene is a bit horrifying!

After Kakuzu landed, he put away his contempt for Natsuki and also recognized him: "You are the Konoha Demon Blade, Natsuki, that Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki talked about? As expected, your strength is extraordinary, no wonder those two were wary."

Natsuki was not surprised by this. His reputation was actually quite well-known, and now the major Villages should know a little about him.

Moreover, he had strongly repelled Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshikagi twice, so it would be strange if the Akatsuki didn't remember him.

"You are too kind, Old Man."

Natsuki replied, "Actually, I want to kill you even more, Old Man. After all, you assassinated Hashirama Senju and got away unscathed. If I kill you, it will prove my strength even more!"

..... ... ....

"Sharp-tongued!"

Kakuzu stopped chatting with the two and began a more furious attack.

He quickly ran up to Kakashi, his fists and feet quickly clashing with Kakashi's several times, actually suppressing Kakashi. Kakashi also knew that the opponent's taijutsu was powerful and could only constantly block and evade, but he was still continuously beaten back.

Seeing this, Natsuki immediately raised his sword and rushed forward, but unexpectedly, Kakuzu suddenly reached out, his forearm suddenly broke off, connected by a mass of black threads that extended and grabbed towards him.

And the speed was extremely fast, most people couldn't react at all.

But Natsuki was not an ordinary person. He backhanded a slash and cut off the black threads.

But these black threads seemed to have a life of their own, suddenly extending again to reconnect with the forearm and grabbing at Natsuki again. Natsuki cut with his sword again, but the forearm quickly retracted.

At the same time, Kakuzu was still dealing with Kakashi with one hand.

He directly used Earth Release: Earth Spear to harden his fists, constantly delivering heavy punches, causing sparks to fly from Kakashi's Kunai.

But what Kakashi was more wary of were those black threads. Those black threads seemed to have truly come alive, ready to sneak attack at any moment. They even pierced Kakashi's chest just now, almost taking Kakashi's heart.

Fortunately, Kakashi reacted quickly and retreated in time to avoid it.

"As expected of an old monster who once fought the First Hokage, his taijutsu is too strong!"

Kakashi took a deep breath, calculating in his mind the time for the others to arrive.

Although he and Natsuki could eliminate the opponent if they fought hard, it was still safer with more people.
