Naruto: Son of the Fourth Hokage

Previously, Naruto had thrown over a dozen Flying Thunder God Kunai towards Kakuzu, but Kakuzu had batted them away over eight hundred meters.

And they were flying in all directions, which came in handy at this moment.

As Kakuzu began to flee, Naruto had the Nine Tails notify Naruko to send Tsunade and Jiraiya to intercept Kakuzu's escape route.

The reason for wasting so much time talking nonsense with Kakuzu and Hidan before the battle was to take the opportunity to send a message back to Konoha and prepare reinforcements.

Now, Kakuzu should have been caught off guard and received a *Heavenly Foot of Pain* from Tsunade; how cruel!

Tsunade and Jiraiya stood side by side, blocking Kakuzu's path.

Next to Kakuzu was a large pit over ten meters in diameter, the ground inside cracked neatly like a spider web.

A black monster lay in the center of the pit, and another lay at the edge, the results of Tsunade's Super Strength punch and Jiraiya's Rasengan, respectively.

Kakuzu was now panicking; he only had one earth-attribute heart left. This was the biggest crisis he had ever faced in his life, comparable to when he foolishly tried to assassinate Hashirama Senju.

If he had two lives, he could boldly show off his skills, but with only one life left, he just wanted to survive.

Although the earth-attribute heart allowed Kakuzu to use the Earth Spear Technique to enhance his defense, he still felt uncertain. Such a large pit was right next to him; he wasn't sure he could withstand a punch from Tsunade.

So Kakuzu transformed. His arms broke off in the middle, connected by black tentacles. Black tentacles fanned out behind him like a peacock's tail, and even his mouth spewed out a bunch, which was extremely disgusting.

In this state, he could send out half of his arm to attack, like the great Buggy, and those tentacles could also be extended, making him both offensive and defensive.

Kakuzu decided not to engage in close combat, only mid- to long-range battles, not seeking victory, but only to create an opportunity to escape.

But, to his despair, the pursuers arrived.

Team 7 first surveyed the battlefield, then tacitly dispersed to block all directions.

Naruto said, "Tsunade Nee-san and Pervy Sage are very efficient!"

Tsunade laughed, "Of course."

Jiraiya seriously educated Naruto, "It's not over until the last moment; don't be careless."

Kakuzu looked at these six people: Tsunade was stretching her wrists, Jiraiya was ready to form hand seals at any moment, Kakashi had already prepared his Lightning Blade, the yellow-haired kid was holding a Rasengan the size of a person over his head, the black-haired kid was electrifying his Lightning Blade, and the pink-haired girl tugged at the gloves on her hands.

Sasuke's Sharingan spun, and arcs of electricity flickered on the Lightning Blade: "The remaining one is an earth-attribute heart; Lightning Release counters earth, so leave it to me."

" Brat, don't be too arrogant!" Kakuzu roared and charged towards Sasuke, his arm turning earthy yellow, seemingly wanting to smash Sasuke's handsome face.

Sasuke excitedly raised his sword, but before he could meet him, Kakuzu made a turn that defied the laws of biological motion and suddenly rushed towards Sakura.

Just kidding, he, Kakuzu, was over ninety years old; how could he be easily swayed by emotions? Who would suddenly turn around and compete with someone who countered them while trying to escape?

Of course, he had to pick the weakest target. Weighing the situation, the pink-haired girl was the weakest. After a feint, Kakuzu unhesitatingly made her his breakthrough point.

Sasuke couldn't stand this grievance. He launched a Chidori Sharp Spear at Kakuzu, but unfortunately, the distance was too far.

"Got it!" The half of his arm, strengthened by the Earth Spear, flew out, heading straight for the frail girl.

"Siyanaro!" Sakura fearlessly met Kakuzu's fist with her own.

"Hmph, young people don't know the immensity of heaven and earth... Nani?" Kakuzu looked in shock as Sakura punched his arm back, and then her gloved fist imprinted on his chest.

Kakuzu's heart shattered... literally shattered.

"I... actually..." This legendary figure who had lived since the era of the First Hokage passed away before he could finish his last words.

Naruto speculated with no small amount of malice whether he wanted to say that the most painful thing in his life was dying before he could spend all his money...

After Tsunade Nee-san and Sakura finished examining his vital signs—though Naruto didn't know how one examined the vital signs of a creature like Kakuzu—Naruto skillfully collected the body.

At the same time, he didn't forget to carefully scan with his Kagura Shingan, worried that he might have a sixth heart or something stored away.

"Sakura did well." Tsunade Nee-san praised with a smile, this child was very much like her in many ways, probably.

"Hehe." Sakura put her hands behind her back, her eyes narrowed, happily accepting Tsunade Nee-san's praise, knowing that Tsunade Nee-san was usually very strict with her.

"Sasuke is also very strong, that Lightning Release was your doing, right?" Jiraiya saw it from a long distance away, that kind of Lightning Release power, should he say terrifying?

"It's alright." If Naruto praised him, he would probably turn his head away and pretend not to care, but actually be very happy inside, while preparing to be immediately doused with cold water or sarcastic remarks by Naruto.

If Itachi praised him, he would blush and admit it shyly, then prepare to have his head patted by his brother.

If a stranger praised him, he just needed to maintain his arrogant demeanor and didn't need to give any response.

But Jiraiya and Sasuke were quite familiar, but not particularly close, and he was worst at dealing with praise from this kind of person, so he could only politely be modest.

Naruto looked left and right: "Hey? Isn't anyone going to praise me?"

"What's there to praise you for, praise you for that Rasengan being really big just now?" Jiraiya slapped the back of Naruto's head.

Naruto nimbly jumped to the side to dodge it, and shouted, "Pervy Sage, you actually want to hit me, you can walk back to Konoha yourself later, the boss of our Uzumaki Transportation Company has decided that we won't be receiving you anymore!"

"Tch, what's the big deal, do you think I've never walked before?" Jiraiya scoffed, could this be used to threaten this immortal?

"Emmmm... but have you ever thought that, in recent years, my footprints have spread to various countries around the Land of Fire, and the Flying Thunder God mark as well, if it's used for travel..." Naruto whispered in Jiraiya's ear, deliberately emphasizing the word 'travel'.

Jiraiya, the old driver, instantly thought of the wonderful use of this trick, which meant that as long as Naruto was willing, he could go to any country at any time to gather material, and could completely rush to different places in the morning, noon, and evening, and even have time to go home for dinner and sleep!

"Hehehe... Naruto ah..."

Bang!

Tsunade Nee-san retracted her fist: "Why are you suddenly showing that disgusting smile, don't corrupt my brother!"

Jiraiya face down, prostrated like a Toad, with a big red bump on his head: "I'm wronged..."

"Well, in any case, we successfully solved two missions." Kakashi collapsed, covering his Sharingan with his Forehead Protector, he was exhausted.

Naruto reminded him, "Kakashi-sensei, there's actually one more important thing."

"Hmm?" Kakashi looked at him.

"I'm hungry."
