A ninja's battle is a battle of intelligence.
Uchiha Shi attacked with Taijutsu, and Kakuzu retaliated with Taijutsu as well. Apart from being enraged and wanting to beat the poor kid senseless, he was also testing the waters.
After all, this kid had charged in without a word, activating a Barrier and looking determined to ensure the other two could escape.
Kakuzu didn't believe the kid was without any tricks up his sleeve.
Caution was his greatest trump card for surviving from the Warring States Era to the present!
Ever since he was slapped by that person's wooden clone, Kakuzu's eyes had become clear from that moment on.
He had long engraved these two words deep into his bones.
At this moment, Seeing Uchiha Shi stand firm after enduring a storm of Taijutsu attacks, looking like an indestructible monster with all his injuries healed, except for looking a bit tired and breathing heavily, His condition was almost too good to be true.
Kakuzu couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
"Medical Ninjutsu? No, such a powerful healing effect is a bit off."
This level of combat endurance, even using the Healing Hands Technique while fighting, wouldn't be this exaggerated.
Thinking of this, Kakuzu couldn't help but tilt his head and look up at the cliff.
Apart from the three kids, he remembered there was a tall, middle-aged man in a yellow coat here.
And that person gave him a subtle feeling, Making him feel that the man was hard to kill.
"Hmm?"
Just as Kakuzu turned his gaze, he suddenly paused and looked in a direction outside the Barrier.
At some point, The middle-aged ninja in the yellow coat was already standing on the cliff outside the Barrier, his eyes filled with a strange sense of shock, staring intently at the poor kid in front of him.
Seeing this, Kakuzu instantly understood.
"This terrifying forbidden technique was taught to this poor kid by that guy!"
"Are these two master and apprentice? Is he surprised by his disciple's progress?"
"Could it be that this guy wants to use me to hone his disciple?"
Kakuzu frowned, feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed.
This poor kid, setting up a Barrier for a one-on-one battle, using such a troublesome forbidden technique, and isolating his teammates to fight alone, Looking like he wouldn't give up until he was beaten to death, Scared the seventy-year-old Kakuzu quite a bit.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "Who's bluffing who here?"
Now, looking at it this way, the situation became clear.
This kid definitely had someone backing him!
Thinking of this, Kakuzu's mindset began to subtly change.

On the battlefield, Uchiha Shi looked at Kakuzu, his gaze slightly focused.
At this moment, he slightly sensed his internal condition. After using the Prohibited Technique: Flesh Regeneration to restore his state, his body felt like rusty parts, not as responsive as before.
This technique, while powerful, had extremely exaggerated side effects.
Shennong could use this technique with almost no side effects because he combined it with the incomplete Zero-Tailed Beast Chakra, essentially changing the power source.
Orochimaru could use this technique to the fullest because he had the Soft Body Modification and Edo Tensei (Impure World Reincarnation), allowing him to replace his body when it was used up.
But Uchiha Shi was using his own body's life force.
He estimated that, given his current state, he could use the Prohibited Technique: Flesh Regeneration twice more before needing immediate medical attention.
Otherwise, he would die from being drained of his life force.
So, he only had two chances.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Shi took a deep breath, his Sharingan activating with a light trail.
He once again crouched into the same posture and charged forward, the only difference being that this time, he held a Whirling Water Blade entrusted to him by Ameyuri Rin!
Water Release: Water Fang Blade!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three shurikens shot through the air!
"Trying to attack with the same technique again?"
Kakuzu's eyes narrowed, immediately changing his position and swinging out three Earth Grudge Fear tentacles to knock down the shurikens while pressing towards Uchiha Shi.
After the previous Taijutsu exchange, Kakuzu had a rough estimate of the kid's reaction speed.
Hmm, a bit of a freak.
If it weren't for his special body structure and the unexpected use of Earth Grudge Fear threads to entangle the kunai, the kid's foot-cutting combo would have succeeded earlier.
Now, with a water blade that could sever tentacles, The calculation was so precise, it almost flew in his face, Kakuzu wasn't stupid and naturally wouldn't stand still to let Uchiha Shi cut his feet again.
The battle immediately escalated.
Seeing Kakuzu change his tactics and shoot out a bunch of Earth Grudge Fear threads, Uchiha Shi's heart leaped with joy.
This water blade was better at bluffing than a kunai!
He hadn't even charged up to cut the old man's feet, and the old man had already rewarded him with a bunch of valuable ninjutsu tools!
Uchiha Shi immediately skidded to a stop, bracing himself against the cliff wall, Then, he held the sword in his hand, making a beautiful sword flourish.
His Sharingan tightly focused on the wildly approaching tentacles, He then positioned the blade on his arm, crouched into a stance, and
Suddenly swung the sword!
First, Cloud Flow: Deceptive Slash, deceiving Kakuzu's tentacles to graze his right shoulder, followed immediately by
Cloud Style: Crescent Moon Slash!
Perfectly replicating the cloud flow sword technique he had seen only once in the boiling sea of the volcano!
The swirling water fang blade suddenly lit up with three crescent moon arcs!
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Kakuzu's three tentacles were severed on impact.
Uchiha Shi quickly crouched down, gathering the tentacles hanging on the cliff face into a bundle and grabbing them all into his tool pouch.
He then turned and fled, rolling and dodging several tentacle attacks.
In the midst of his agile movements, he pulled out an empty tool string spindle and quickly straightened and reloaded the tangled Earth Grudge Fear threads.
Only when he saw the tool string spindle fully wrapped, Did Uchiha Shi reveal a smile of satisfaction.
Although he now seemed to possess a variety of ninjutsu and forbidden techniques, ignoring the Fireball Jutsu and Phoenix Fire Jutsu that produced smoke but no damage, The techniques that could actually threaten Kakuzu were
The two he had just learned from the Great Elder Uchiha Shun, Uchiha Style: Wire Shuriken Technique!
This was the core of Uchiha Shi's current combat tactics.
Just one word, Fast!
Fast to the point where the opponent couldn't even form hand signs, release jutsu, or defend!
In the situation where they could only try to dodge, they would inevitably expose a weakness, allowing Uchiha Shi to seize the opportunity and decide the outcome!
Third-rate Uchiha use shurikens for feints, second-rate Uchiha use them for ambushes, and first-rate Uchiha use them to seize opportunities!
And the Uchiha Style: Wire Shuriken Technique at the master level!
Its rating is S because, It itself, Is a killing move!
