Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Kakuzu Dies, Money Split
Everyone could only dodge with difficulty, looking very disheveled.
Kakuzu's Ninjutsu attack range was simply too vast, one could say it was full of oppressive force.
Sasuke watched this kind of Ninjutsu attack, his mouth watering with envy.
How much Chakra must that be!
And it was clear that Kakuzu was still at ease, showing no signs of significant Chakra depletion, which meant this guy's Chakra was still enormous!
"Tsk! As expected of an old monster!"
Sasuke gritted his teeth, cautiously poking his head out to observe, planning to find an opportunity for a sneak attack.
However, he was immediately discovered by Kakuzu.
This time, Kakuzu gave him a big one.
Two masked creatures aimed at his direction.
One spewed out Earth Style: Head Hunter Technique, and the other spewed out Wind Release: Pressure Damage.
With the Wind Release amplifying the Fire Release, the sea of fire became even more turbulent.
"Compound Ninjutsu: Violent Wind Blaze!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The sea of fire covered a large area.
Sasuke could only frantically use Lightning Flash, barely managing to avoid being engulfed by the sea of fire, almost being burned to ashes.
Shikamaru, who was hiding nearby, quickly whispered: "Sasuke, don't show your head, that guy is very sharp, you'll be discovered immediately if you do.
Don't worry, I just saw Natsuki leave a Flying Thunder God Technique formula on that guy."
Flying Thunder God Technique formula?
Sasuke's heart immediately relaxed, feeling that this old monster could probably be dealt with now.
It wasn't just his trust in Natsuki's strength, but also his trust in the Flying Thunder God Technique, because the Flying Thunder God Technique was truly fast!
At this moment, Kakuzu was still launching Ninjutsu everywhere, as if the word 'Chakra depletion' didn't exist for him.
Continuously using such vast Ninjutsu was like drinking water or urinating, truly living up to his name as an old monster.
However, as the four masked creatures moved further and further away from Kakuzu, a figure suddenly flashed behind Kakuzu.
The Demon Blade Thousand Blades instantly pierced through Kakuzu's heart!
"How... how is this possible!
When did you get behind me?"
Kakuzu looked utterly disbelieving.
"Heh heh, I won't tell you.
Besides, you're not completely dead yet, you'll only die when all four of your hearts are destroyed!"
Natsuki revealed Kakuzu's weakness.
Kakuzu's face changed, but quickly turned ashen.
This heart of his was directly killed, and his body naturally died with it!
Only when his other hearts returned to his body could he come back to life!
As expected, the next second, the four masked creatures frantically rushed towards him, planning to return to the body and save themselves.
But how could Natsuki let them succeed?
He directly picked up Kakuzu's corpse and disappeared with a Flying Thunder God Technique.
The four masked creatures were stunned, sensing the location of the body while chasing after it.
Just then, Kakashi suddenly attacked.
His Chidori directly pierced through one of the masked faces.
It was also because he was fast, otherwise, a successful sneak attack wouldn't have been easy.
Asuma, Neji, and Shino also launched sneak attacks, but were avoided by the masked creatures.
"Lightning Release: Chidori Sharp Spear!"
Sasuke suddenly attacked, and a lightning spear directly pierced through one of the masked faces.
Only two masked creatures remained!
Everyone decisively swarmed forward, using all sorts of techniques, and finally managed to shatter the remaining two masked creatures.
With all of Kakuzu's hearts shattered, his life naturally came to an end.
Natsuki returned with Kakuzu's corpse, looking at the area that had been almost completely flattened.
For a moment, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
This guy Kakuzu was truly formidable.
If he hadn't been ambushed by the Flying Thunder God Technique, if Natsuki hadn't taken the body away with the Flying Thunder God Technique, who knows how long the fight would have dragged on.
Natsuki could actually also use the Vortex Boiling Bullet to attack, but he couldn't find an opportunity.
Because Kakuzu was very fast, dodging wasn't difficult for him, and it would also expose Natsuki's trump card and waste Chakra.
Originally, he planned to send out a Vortex Boiling Bullet after leaving the Flying Thunder God Technique formula, but this outcome was also good.
As long as Kakuzu's main heart was dead, and the other hearts were prevented from returning to the body to revive him, dealing with him became much simpler, and they succeeded.
However, to be safe, everyone still checked.
They confirmed that Kakuzu's hearts were truly all destroyed before they were certain of Kakuzu's death.
Only then did everyone finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Thinking back to the taijutsu battle just now and Kakuzu's terrifying Ninjutsu, they could only sigh and say, as expected of an old monster.
Everyone then started going through Kakuzu's bag and found a large sum of money from the scroll.
Roughly calculated, it seemed to be a full one hundred million ryo.
Moreover, Natsuki believed this was definitely not Kakuzu's entire fortune.
Although Kakuzu liked to earn money, he gave it all to Konan.
This should be the money he earned on this trip.
In addition, there was an account book with many names and monetary records listed.
Oh, and there was also a bounty list booklet.
Everyone looked through it and found Asuma's bounty, which was indeed thirty-five million ryo, making Asuma's face dark for a long time.
Asuma also saw the bounty of his good friend Chiriku, which was surprisingly thirty million ryo.
"Who exactly issued the bounty?
Is it because Chiriku and I were both Daimyo's Guardian Shinobi?"
Asuma put away Chiriku's bounty list, planning to make time to visit the Fire Temple and remind his friend Chiriku to be careful, lest someone take his head for money.
Just then, everyone found Kakashi's bounty list, but Kakashi quickly snatched it away.
"Huh?
Kakashi-sensei, let us see how much it is!"
The others wouldn't let it go.
"There's nothing to see.
Let's look for information about the Akatsuki instead."
Kakashi quickly put away his bounty list.
Fortunately, everyone didn't insist and continued searching.
But they didn't find any useful information.
This guy didn't even have Ninjutsu scrolls on him.
Perhaps he sold all his Ninjutsu scrolls for money.
Natsuki looked at the one hundred million ryo and quietly asked: "Kakashi-senpai, Asuma-senpai, this one hundred million ryo isn't going to be handed in, is it?"
The two Jonin were startled and both shook their heads: "This doesn't need to be handed in."
Natsuki chuckled: "Then let's split it!
Money is a good thing.
Kakashi-senpai can buy the deluxe edition of hot blooded paradise again, and Asuma-senpai can invite Kurenai-senpai for a hot spring date again, right?"
Cough cough!
Cough cough cough!
The two Jonin coughed non-stop, extremely embarrassed.
In the end, the one hundred million ryo was split, but the six-person team each received twelve million ryo, and the remaining twenty-eight million ryo were all given to Natsuki.
Although Natsuki was now associated with a rich woman and wasn't short on money, he deserved to take more.
Because the biggest credit for killing Kakuzu belonged to him.
If he hadn't used the Flying Thunder God Technique to ambush and take the body away, everyone wouldn't have known how to defeat this kind of old monster.
Moreover, twelve million ryo was already quite a sum, enough to do many things.
Just like Neji, he planned to use ten million ryo to post bounties on the black market to search for older clues about the Hyuga Clan.
Sasuke wanted to get a better sword.
Although a short sword was good, perhaps a long sword was more suitable for him.
Shikamaru and Shino were thinking of saving this money for a rainy day.
