Chapter 225 Kakuzu: Why is he so hard?
Chapter 225 Kakuzu: Why is he so hard?
"My two masters, can we go out and fight? It's not easy to do business here, right?"
The old man at the money exchange spoke up, a little nervous. If these two gentlemen started fighting directly, with the power of their ninjutsu, this money exchange would be blown up to the sky in an instant.
Upon hearing this, Kakuzu first used a sealing scroll to collect the body he was going to exchange for money, then turned and walked out, as if he was not afraid of Lu Li's sneak attack, "Let's talk about it when you come out."
Lu Li had no objection, he also didn't want to destroy the money exchange. After all, he might have to come here to exchange money for missions in the future.
The manager of the money exchange heaved a sigh of relief as he watched Lu Li and Jiao Du leave.
And the next moment when the two men walked out of the house and turned the corner and disappeared from his sight, a huge roar accompanied by a strong tremor came.
"Wind escape. Pressure!"
Kakuzu did not enter the Earth Grudge Mode right away, but released Wind Style in normal form. He heard that Calamity was a powerful Lightning Style Kekkei Genkai ninja, so he tried using Wind Style.
Kakuzu's chakra capacity was no exaggeration, and the ninjutsu he released was extremely powerful. In the strong wind like a group of kamaitachi, the trees on the roadside collapsed in patches, and the wind jutsu with a wide coverage area pressed towards Lu Li.
As Lu Li jumped backwards, the lightning spread out like a spider web, covering Jiaodu like a giant net.
Seeing that Lu Li was extremely fast, Kakuzu knew that it would be difficult to hit Lu Li head-on with this level of Wind Escape, and Lu Li's Lightning Escape was not blocked by his Wind Escape at all and fell directly towards his position.
What's more, there is a decisive difference between Lu Li's lightning and the common lightning in the ninja world. Lu Li's lightning is just like the lightning in nature. There is no "process" of transmission. From release to reaching where he is, it takes almost an instant.
If Kakuzu had not been experienced in combat and was one of the most senior ninjas of this era, and had not sensed the crisis in advance and used the substitution technique to evacuate, his fate would have been to be struck by the lightning net.
After only a brief confrontation, Kakuzu realized that the Scourge was a troublesome opponent, and these 60 million... were not easy to earn.
He has killed many Lightning Release ninjas and he himself has the heart of an excellent Lightning Release ninja, but the Lightning Release ninjas he has seen are mainly divided into two types.
One is the ninjutsu like the Raikage, which uses lightning to activate the body, speeding up to gain extraordinary mobility, and then performing close combat. He heard that the Konoha copy ninja Kakashi also has a similar technique. This technique is relatively rare in the ninja world, but he has also defeated similar opponents.
The other is the conventional Lightning Release Ninjutsu, which releases lightning converted from chakra to attack the opponent. In this attack mode, because it is a Ninjutsu, it is controlled by the ninja, and the lightning often condenses into shape.
For example, his Lightning Release: Pseudo Darkness can fire a sharp spear of thunder from the mouth of the Earth Grudge: Lightning Release Masked Monster. This spear of thunder is a tangible object, so its trajectory is naturally under his control and its speed is limited.
So in fact, the external lightning ninjutsu is not that fast. From the time it manifests on his body to the time it attacks the enemy, the ninjutsu needs time to move.
In general, the Lightning Chakra Mode of the Raikage lineage is faster, and it can run faster than ordinary external Lightning Ninjutsu.
This was the first time he had seen Lu Li in this situation. There was almost no delay from the time the thunder appeared to the time it descended on him. If he wanted to avoid Lu Li's thunder, he could only predict where Lu Li's attack would land.
"The little ghosts nowadays are really powerful and terrifying."
Kakuzu sighed, but he hadn't given up the 60 million bounty yet. The ninjutsu just now was just a greeting, and he would have to use a little more force next time.
"You are from Akatsuki, right? Judging from your attire, you are a traitor from Takigakure? According to rumors in the underground circle, you have also assassinated the first Hokage?"
Lu Li asked with interest.
"Heh, kid, I didn't expect you knew this kind of thing. I did fight against the first Hokage of your village."
Speaking of this, Kakuzu's masked face seemed to be filled with confidence, "In my opinion, you are still too young."
While speaking, behind Lu Li's back, which was invisible to the naked eye, his Earth Grievance Yu Heart had already crawled out. After he finished speaking, one after another Yu Grievances, which were constructed by the entanglement of black lines and hearts, emerged from the ground in all directions.
The three Earth Resentful Yu had dense black lines on their bodies, swaying in the air like tentacles. The empty black holes in their masks stared at Lu Li closely. They stood in three directions, forming four corners with Jiaodu's body to surround Lu Li.
The reason why Kakuzu said Lu Li was young was because Lu Li actually dared to chat with him during the battle. He casually said this sigh just to divert Lu Li's attention.
"Interesting secret technique, but can you fight the First Hokage with just these gadgets?"
Lu Li had a playful look on his face. Of course he was aware of Kakuzu's little movements. With his observation Haki combined with the electricity in the air, there was no movement within a radius of several hundred meters that he could not clearly sense.
But he did not stop Jiaodu from using the Earth's Resentment. Instead, he wanted to see what Jiaodu could do with these little things.
Anyway, judging from the original work, he felt that Kakuzu was quite weak, and Diyuanyu's ability did have the effect of killing at first sight against those who did not understand the principles of his secret technique.
But let alone meeting a ninja with strong analytical ability, even if he met someone with a little head-on hard power, he could easily kill Kakuzu.
After all, the so-called five hearts seemed too weak to Lu Li. They were just fancy stuff and were of no use in the face of real power.
If the Raikage were here, he would probably be able to kill Kakuzu five times in an instant...
"The little brats nowadays are really arrogant."
Kakuzu had a grim expression. Except for his main Earth Release Heart and the Lightning Release Heart that had not left, every Earth Release Heart used ninjutsu.
Wind escape: Suppression!
Fire Style: Head Hard Work!
Water escape: water curtain tent!
He was not a greenhorn boy. If he wanted to hunt Lu Li, he would have done his homework. It was impossible for him to use the external lightning ninjutsu to directly attack Lu Li.
He placed the Thunder Escape Heart in his body, so that if he failed to dodge Lu Li's lightning attack in time, he could use Thunder Escape to confront it head-on and resolve it as a means of saving his life.
The other three hearts were used as the main attack. At this time, he was both offensive and defensive, and had surrounded Lu Li, occupying the geographical advantage. If Lu Li could not break this situation, he would directly collect the bounty and return to the organization to report.
boom--
The wind helped the fire, and the pressure and the head merged together, erupting into a new combination ninjutsu, the Flame Wind Wave, which directly hit where Lu Li was standing.
At the same time, the water curtain tent of the water-escaping Earth Grudge Yu's clone continuously sprayed out high-pressure water cannons to carry out subsequent fire suppression.
Through perception, Kakuzu was sure that his siege was successful at that moment. Lu Li did not have time to dodge his combination ninjutsu, and the subsequent water-style bombardment all hit him.
He was both happy and disappointed, and commented, "After all, he is too young. Compared with your first Hokage, he is far inferior."
But the next moment, a voice was heard in the smoke and dust, "Really? I doubt whether you really fought with the first generation. Did you throw shurikens from eight hundred miles away?"
When Kakuzu heard this steady voice, he didn't care about being angry because of the other party's mockery. He subconsciously jumped back and controlled the three Earth Grudge clones to retreat, trying to keep some distance.
But what made him feel embarrassed and annoyed was that Lu Li did not launch an attack. He just waited for the wind to blow and the smoke to disperse, and then stood there quietly looking at him.
Lu Li patted the dust off his clothes and said, "It's so fancy, go on. A ninja from the Warring States Period... is that it?"
Kakuzu's face turned pale and he was extremely angry because he was sure that his ninjutsu had hit Lu Li, but Lu Li was unharmed. What on earth was going on! ?
It's not like he hasn't seen ninjas with strong defenses. He has lived for more than eighty years, so what kind of bloodline limit has he not seen? And he is sure that Lu Li's bloodline limit is the lightning escape bloodline limit, which does not involve high defense.
And the power of his ninjutsu is not comparable to that of ordinary jonin. Even Hashirama Senju cannot withstand it head-on, right?
Lu Li stepped out from the smoke and flames. To be honest, he was really disappointed with the power of Kakuzu's ninjutsu. He thought he could warm up his body.
The summary of Kakuzu's abilities is that they are too diverse, but he has no explosive finishing skills. When his five hearts are added together, his temporary mental attribute can still exceed 70 points. If he releases a powerful combination of ninjutsu, Lu Li will have to dodge.
But when he separated the heart, the spiritual attribute of each Earth Wrath Yu was only more than sixty points in Lu Li's reconnaissance field of vision.
Compared with ordinary jonin, Ji Yuan Yu is still strong, but at most he is an elite jonin. Lu Li doesn't even need to dodge the ninjutsu released by this level of gadget.
With the Armament Haki Ryusakura and the two defensive gears on his body, it didn't hurt at all when he took it head-on.
"Boy, how on earth did you do that?"
Kakuzu spoke in a low voice, quietly putting away his resentment during the conversation, and tried to get them to focus on him.
Since the siege tactic didn't work, he needed to consider changing his form.
"There is no secret. It's simply that the power of your ninjutsu is too weak."
Lu Li grinned and said, "I respect the elderly and love the young. I let you make a few moves first. Now... it's my turn, right?"
Looking at the smile on Lu Li's face, Jiaodu, who had lived for more than eighty years, felt the hair on his back stand up (if he still had any). He suddenly realized that the opponent in front of him had a very bad compatibility with him.
His main skill is earth escape, which is naturally countered by lightning escape. The original advantage of Chi Yuanyu's dispersed attack is that multiple ninjutsu attack from multiple directions, which is difficult for the enemy to dodge or defend.
After all, most ninjas have average physiques, and if they are hit directly by ninjutsu, they will most likely die.
But he found that Earth Grudge's siege tactics did not work well on Lu Li. Even if he activated the Earth Grudge mode and launched continuous bombardment of compound ninjutsu, Lu Li would most likely be able to dodge with lightning escape at extremely high speed.
Once the chakra war of attrition begins, he will most likely be the loser.
What made him even more terrified was that after Lu Li drew out the ninja sword from his waist, in his perception, Lu Li's "chakra" increased rapidly, which was simply a major transformation.
"Wait a moment!"
Kakuzu immediately raised his hand and shouted before Lu Li rushed forward with his sword.
But Lu Li didn't even wait, he used Flash Step and instantly closed the distance between him and Kakuzu.
Seeing that Lu Li was not making sense at all, Kakuzu revealed Fenghuolei's Diyuanyu mask on his right arm and released a combined ninjutsu, Diyuanyu. The final shot!
boom--
To Kakuzu's surprise, Lu Li did not dodge nor stop charging, but faced his shot head-on.
But his final shot failed to end Lu Li's life, but hit an invisible barrier.
What was even more terrible was that Lu Li had already rushed to within three meters of him, and the final shot exploded under the force of the recoil, and the chakra cannon turned into a raging firestorm that swept towards him.
At the same time, Lu Li did not stop his forward charge and slashed out diagonally with his sword.
It was as if a sharp blade had cut through the atmosphere. Invisible sword energy crisscrossed the forest. Large trees within a radius of dozens of meters broke one after another and fell down at an angle.
Kakuzu himself had half of his body cut off, and his right hand, which he had just released, fell to the ground.
After the sword strike was successful, lightning flashed on Lu Li's body and several lightning spears shot out, piercing the three hearts in Kakuzu's right hand. At the same time, several lightning spears shot towards Kakuzu's body.
