determining his target, Kakuzu immediately set out for the Rain Country.
For Kakuzu, time is money. The sooner Mu Yue is captured, the more happily he can choose his next target.
After entering the Land of Rain, Kakuzu began to investigate the information of ninja master Sosuke.
Although he wanted to complete the task as soon as possible, Kakuzu would not just run over there without thinking. After all, this opponent did not seem simple based on the information.
However, this step was much easier and simpler than Kakuzu expected.
The deeds of Ninja Master Sosuke have been widely spread in the Land of Rain. Some intelligence corners can even hear them just by walking around the streets of the Land of Rain.
For example, Sosuke taught ninjutsu for free in Ozu Village without discrimination, a strong ninja who mastered three types of chakra nature changes did not believe in Sosuke's ability and was taught a lesson by both hands, and Sosuke led the seventy-two ninjas to travel around the Rain Country to do good deeds.
"A lucky naive guy and a bunch of rabble." After collecting the information, Kakuzu gave his own evaluation.
In his opinion, Mu Yue's actions were no different from those of a fool.
Teaching ninjutsu for free is purely asking for trouble, and there is no real benefit to be gained except a little false reputation.
The ninjas taught by Mu Yue were at most grateful at the time, but those who were thick-skinned might not even say thank you.
If everything remains safe and sound, then perhaps they can live together happily. If they encounter danger, then they will each flee on their own.
It would be better to just charge for teaching, this way at least you can still make money, and money is always reliable.
Kakuzu, who was once betrayed by the village, feels deeply about this.
He risked his life to carry out his mission for the village, but all he got in return was charges and punishment.
This is the case for the entire village that witnessed his growth. Mu Yue has only known the ninjas in his team for less than two months, and Kakuzu doesn't believe that anyone would be willing to risk their lives for Mu Yue.
Therefore, Kakuzu didn't care about the seventy-two ninjas who followed Mu Yue. He believed that as long as he showed his strength, those ninjas would be scared and abandon Mu Yue and flee.
If they were ninjas from the ninja village, Kakuzu would not dare to underestimate them even if the ninja levels of these seventy-two ninjas were not high. However, Kakuzu was not afraid of a team composed of wandering ninjas and weak ninja organizations at all.
No one would bother to take action against an opponent of this level, because there is a high probability that there is no bounty on the enemy, and killing him would be a waste of effort and meaningless.
After completing the intelligence work, Kakuzu began to take formal action.
Since Mu Yue did not hide his whereabouts, and their team had a large number of people, Jiao Du easily found their location and rushed over to launch an attack.
Mu Yue noticed Kakuzu who was attacking and threw an appraisal directly.
[Name: Kakuzu]
[Chakra: 140000]
[Skills: Earth Grudge (Mastery: 5100/15000), Lightning Chakra Nature Change (Mastery: 3000/15000), Fire Chakra Nature Change (Mastery: 2700/15000), Wind Chakra Nature Change (Mastery), Water Chakra Nature Change (Mastery), Lightning Release: Pseudo Darkness (Mastery)...]
Mu Yue can only say that Kakuzu's panel has the flavor of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and can be considered a second-hand youthful version of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
With his mastery of changing the properties of the five attributes of chakra and the corresponding mastery-level ninjutsu, Kakuzu can indeed be considered a younger Sarutobi Hiruzen in terms of ninjutsu. However, it is difficult to compare with Sarutobi Hiruzen in other aspects. Sarutobi Hiruzen has mastered a large number of secret techniques, and his physical skills are also very strong. He also has a powerful summoning beast like Sarumo.
"You guys step back." Mu Yue said to the ninjas behind him.
Among the ninjas he has encountered so far, Kakuzu is definitely the strongest, and Mu Yue has to show his strength to fight him.
The ninjas were a little confused by this, but they still retreated out of trust in Mu Yue.
The next moment, the flying horns rushed over.
"Another bounty ninja after money?" Yahiko frowned.
Although Kakuzu has not made a move yet, judging from the speed at which he appeared, he does not look like an ordinary ninja.
"Yahiko, Nagato, Konan, the three of you should pay more attention to the other people in the team." Mu Yue reminded.
Although Yahiko and the other two are the youngest in the team, they are the strongest.
All three of them nodded and looked at Kakuzu cautiously.
"This seems to be the legendary strongest black market killer Kakuzu. Many well-known strong men have died at his hands, and he even fought with the God of Ninja." A ninja's face changed instantly when he saw the stitches on Kakuzu's arm.
Because of his training in Earthly Resentment, Kakuzu would be very recognizable if he didn't wear clothes that covered his entire body.
The other ninjas showed shocked expressions. Each of these words sounded complicated. When added together, they could be described as one person, making him a legendary ninja.
"That's not right. If he was a ninja from the era of the God of Ninja, he would have been too old to be dead even if he wasn't dead." Someone noticed the problem.
The ninja who revealed the information about Kakuzu shook his head. How could he know such a thing? He had only heard about Kakuzu's deeds by chance once.
Kakuzu ignored the gazes of the other ninjas and looked at Mu Yue indifferently, "It would be easier if you were willing to be captured by me."
Since they could earn an extra five million taels by capturing her alive, Jiao would try his best to take Mu Yue away alive.
After all, his mission in the black market is to make money, so he will definitely take as much money as possible.
Under normal circumstances, the protagonists are reluctant to waste time and want to start and finish early.
"It would be easier if you were willing to leave on your own initiative." Mu Yue replied with a faint smile.
Kakuzu frowned, "Your naivety is misplaced."
Whoosh!
Kakuzu suddenly jumped up, chakra burst out, and rushed towards Mu Yue fiercely.
Mu Yue had already opened up the transparent world, and saw through Kakuzu's attack. He reached out and grabbed Kakuzu's fist easily, and then punched Kakuzu and sent him flying ten meters away.
"Very good at physical skills?" Kakuzu touched his abdomen where he was hit, with an unchanged expression, and prepared to use ninjutsu.
The resentment of the earth made his vitality tenacious, but the characters were not stupid and had to fight against others' strengths.
As the Earth's Grudge was used, a large number of black lines suddenly burst out from behind Kakuzu, and a masked monster composed of black lines jumped out from behind him.
"What kind of ninjutsu is this?" Yahiko looked at Nagato beside him with some confusion.
Nagato knows a lot of ninjutsu, so when Yahiko encounters a ninjutsu he doesn't know, he will ask Nagato.
But this was before. Now Yahiko would ask Mu Yue directly, but now Mu Yue is in battle, so Yahiko asked Nagato.
"I don't know him either." Nagato shook his head.
He guessed that this should be a rather obscure secret technique.
"Fire Style: Head Hard Work!"
The red-mouthed masked monster opened its mouth wide, a large amount of chakra condensed in its mouth, and it quickly spit out a seemingly small fireball at Mu Yue.
"Fire Style: Head Hard Work!"
Mu Yue quickly formed hand seals, condensed a large amount of chakra, and converted it all into fire attribute chakra in one breath, then compressed and spit out. It was also a small fireball, but the color of the flame was deeper than Kakuzu's.
Kakuzu was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Mu Yue also knew this ninjutsu.
Then something even more surprising happened to Kakuzu.
Whoosh!
Boom!
The two fireballs collided with each other, and the compressed flames of both sides burst out, instantly forming a large sea of fire, and the ground was burned black.
The sea of fire on Mu Yue's side was obviously more intense. It quickly broke through Kakuzu's flames and continued to spread towards the running Kakuzu.
Kakuzu looked at Mu Yue in shock.
He originally wanted to let the mask fight Mu Yue, and then the real body would take the opportunity to attack.
He never expected that his Fire Escape would lose to Mu Yue, and it seemed that the gap was not just a little bit.
Not only Kakuzu was shocked, but even the ninjas who had followed Mu Yue for more than a month showed surprised expressions.
If Mu Yue had not asked them to retreat in advance, they would probably have been affected by the horrific sea of fire.
Mu Yue had used excessive diligence before, but the power at that time was not as great as it is now.
"This kind of fire escape technique can probably burn down a forest directly." Chi Chang also sighed in his heart.
Before, Chi Chang felt that he had exaggerated Mu Yue's strength and caused him trouble. Now, Chi Chang also felt that he might have underestimated Mu Yue's strength.
Kakuzu retreated quickly and released his water-attribute chakra mask.
The water-attributed mask spit out a large amount of water, which saved Kakuzu from being roasted.
Kakuzu wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Mu Yue with extremely serious eyes. Mu Yue was probably the second strongest opponent he had ever met.
Immediately afterwards, Kakuzuru also released the mask with wind and thunder attributes. He did not dare to be careless at all now.
"You guys step back a little." Mu Yue thought for a moment and turned back and said.
His fire jutsu can indeed crush Kakuzu's fire jutsu, but the ninjutsu of other attributes are not so exaggerated. Mu Yue with wind and water attributes can still suppress Kakuzu, but Mu Yue's thunder and earth attribute changes are lower than Kakuzu's.
The ninjas all obediently retreated to the rear again. In order to be able to support Mu Yue in an emergency, Yahiko and the other two retreated less.
Under Kakuzu's control, the wind attribute mask and the fire attribute mask stood together, and at the same time opened their mouths wide and used ninjutsu.
"Fire Style: Head Hard Work!"
"Wind Style: Suppress!"
A wind ball and a fire ball were spit out at the same time. The wind fanned the fire, instantly creating a vast sea of fire.
Mu Yue silently created a shadow clone, and then the main body used Fire Style and the shadow clone used Wind Style.
"Fire Style: Head Hard Work!"
"Wind Style: Suppress!"
It was also a fireball and a wind ball. The wind helped the fire to form a terrifying sea of fire, which quickly engulfed Kakuzu.
Kakuzu: ...
Kakuzu felt a little numb. He felt like he was being teased. Mu Yue had been using the same ninjutsu as him, and it was even more powerful than his.
Kakuzu used the combined power of his torpedo mask and his real body to barely block Mu Yue's sea of fire.
Fortunately, Kakuzu is an old ninja who has lived for more than seventy years and has encountered all kinds of situations, so he is not panicked.
He quickly formulated a new battle plan, using the mine mask to distract Mu Yue's attention while his main body and the wind and fire masks looked for opportunities to launch an attack.
His Earth Grudge Mask is much stronger than his shadow clone. Although it can also die, it is not as easy to break as the shadow clone.
Next, Kakuzu did cause some trouble for Mu Yue, because Kakuzu's real body could also rely on the Earth Grudge Tentacles to interfere with Mu Yue.
"How can I defeat Kakuzu using the least chakra?" Mu Yue was thinking about tactics while dealing with Kakuzu's attacks.
If the goal is simply to win, Mu Yue has many ways to win.
The change in the nature of the perfect-level fire-attribute chakra, coupled with the flame breathing chakra mode, caught Mu Yue off guard and used all his strength to use fire escape to clear all the masks released by Kakuzu.
As long as he doesn't use Fire Style Ninjutsu like Obito, he doesn't have to worry about other people seeing his Flame Breathing. They will only think that his Fire Style is ridiculously strong.
Of course, such a powerful move consumes a lot of chakra.
Mu Yue has chakra anxiety and will feel uncomfortable when his chakra level is less than 50%. He is worried that he will encounter enemies of the level of the Third Raikage, the Third Tsuchikage, or Hanzo when his chakra level is low.
So Mu Yue wanted to use as little chakra as possible to defeat Kakuzu, leaving more chakra in case of accidents.
This is also because Kakuzu did not attack Mu Yue's followers, otherwise Mu Yue would only defeat Kakuzu as quickly as possible to ensure the safety of his followers.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Yahiko formed a seal and spit out a water dragon to attack the fire attribute mask.
"Uncle Sosuke, let us help you hold back some of your clones." Yahiko shouted.
After watching the battle just now, he learned some information about Kakuzu. In addition, Mu Yue's situation was not good, so Yahiko felt that he had to participate in the battle.
Konan followed suit and threw out a paper shuriken.
Nagato used Lightning Release Ninjutsu in cooperation with Yahiko, turning Yahiko's Water Dragon Bullet into Thunder Water Dragon Bullet, making the Water Dragon Bullet more powerful and increasing the paralysis effect.
Not only Yahiko and his men, but all the ninjas with long-range attack methods used their own methods to attack Kakuzu's mask.
However, due to the lack of coordinated drills, the attack was rather chaotic and the effect was average.
Mu Yuewei sighed. He had guessed that something like this would happen so he wanted to solve it alone. It would not be easy for dozens of strangers to cooperate.
"Do you like seeking death so much?" Kakuzu looked at the group of ninjas who were attacking in confusion.
Seeing that he was so strong and didn't run away but took the initiative to attack, he couldn't defeat Mu Yue for a while, could he not kill a group of average wandering ninjas?
"In that case, let's get rid of you first." Kakuzu controlled the wind and fire mask and released a combination of ninjutsu at the ninjas.
If he uses this combination of ninjutsu, even if not all of them will be killed, at least half of them will die.
In Kakuzu's opinion, there was no difference between half of the team dying and the whole team being wiped out, because with such heavy casualties, the remaining people would surely all run away.
Suddenly, Kakuzu felt a terrifying aura rising.
Mu Yue's breathing became extremely concentrated, and the chakra that continued to burn in his body provided him with a huge boost.
"Fire dragon dance!"
Mu Yue gathered a huge amount of chakra at his throat, and under the amplification of the Flame Breathing Chakra Mode, it all instantly turned into powerful fire attribute chakra.
Mu Yue pretended to make a seal, and then spit out an extremely strong and terrifying flame with a very high temperature.
Of course Mu Yue doesn't need to make hand seals in the Flame Breathing Chakra Mode, but in order not to reveal her identity, she still has to pretend to be so.
