Bang!
With Uchiha Shi's hand striking his heart, Kakuzu felt a sudden jolt of long-forgotten panic, as if a million ants were crawling over his heart, the icy chill swirling within his chest.
The last time he had felt this way was
forty-five years ago.
Bearing an inescapable responsibility, he had trembled as he stepped forward alone to face the Shinobi God's Wood Clone.
What filled him with despair was—
that Wood Clone, standing atop a wooden giant two hundred meters tall.
At that moment, Uchiha Shi was surging with Fire Natured Chakra, the surrounding air gradually drying, scorching, and searing his mouth and tongue.
A blazing sun began to rise before his eyes!
The familiar yet distant fear awakened the weakness and fear buried deep in Kakuzu's heart.
As these emotions gradually tore apart his heart, filled with the threads of Earth Grudge Fear and numbed by the desire for money, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
The tentacles of Earth Grudge Fear began to surge uncontrollably from the seams on his body, standing on end!
Like a dark creature with its fur bristling, instinctively hiding within its fur for a sense of security.
The moon gradually faded, and the world fell silent.
Infinite darkness tightly enveloped Kakuzu.
But the brilliance of the increasingly radiant sun left Kakuzu nowhere to hide!
Under such merciful and equal light, Kakuzu, was forcibly made to recall the past.
His expression began to crumble.
"What a joke!!"
"Madman!"
"Madman!"
"A madman who doesn't care about his life!"
"How could such a technique appear in a Uchiha with a single-tomoe Sharingan!?!"
Kakuzu immediately realized, this was a forbidden technique! And without a doubt, it was a desperate move that surpassed ordinary forbidden techniques!
Kakuzu's heart cursed wildly, what grudge did he have with this poor kid?
This kid was actually going to use such a move on him! What a joke?
This was supposed to be their first meeting, right?
Looking at Uchiha Shi, whose aura became increasingly terrifying, Kakuzu felt a chill run down his spine.
Immediately, he sprang into action!
Kakuzu directly canceled the Earth Release: Earth Spear, allowing his body to be cut, shredded, and a large mass of blood to burst out!
Various tissues, organs, Earth Grudge Fear hearts, head, and limbs, along with fragments of his body, scattered and then reassembled under the pull of the tentacles.
The number of missing parts was incalculable, and Kakuzu had no time to think about it.
"Gaaaaahhhhhh!!!"
Facing Uchiha Shi, who was now roaring uncontrollably due to the overwhelming power, Kakuzu, after forcibly breaking free from the restraints, immediately formed the Snake hand seal with both hands.
Four black shadows sprang from Kakuzu's back, three standing side by side, and one standing with Kakuzu.
The three side-by-side black shadows represented three different attribute hearts.
Wind, Fire, Lightning!
The three Earth Grudge Fear mask creatures opened their mouths, glowing with white, red, and blue light!
The three jutsu combined and intertwined, continuously charging.
Forming a terrifying blue chakra cannon.
The technique about to be released was even more fearsome than the Combined Ninjutsu: Flame Wind Disruption · Masked Explosion—
Earth Grudge Fear · Final Shot!
At that moment, Uchiha Shi's final roar echoed:
"Now,"
"It's my turn!!"
#
Uchiha Shi watched Kakuzu's series of actions, summoning four mask creatures, the lead Water Release: Water Curtain mask released a large amount of water to the ground.
Kakuzu, on the side, formed seals, releasing a massive water barrier to block Uchiha Shi's view, concealing the movements of the other masks.
Having read the original story and knowing the detailed information about his opponent, Uchiha Shi could easily guess that Kakuzu was preparing to use his strongest combination jutsu, 'Earth Grudge Fear · Final Shot,' with the other three masks.
The enemy was fully prepared, ready to engage in a fierce clash.
How could he let the opponent down?
Uchiha Shi, holding the Blazing Flame Longsword in both hands, couldn't help but smile excitedly.
Right now, he felt he could cleave a mountain with a single strike!
This power that transcended the ordinary, came at the cost of the death Uchiha Shi had longed for!
And his opponent, was the Kage-Level Shinobi, Kakuzu.
Whether he killed Kakuzu with his sword or Kakuzu killed him with his ultimate move, Earth Grudge Fear · Final Shot, for Uchiha Shi, it was a win-win situation.
As long as he died in a full-out battle with his opponent, he could return home with five hundred million RMB.
Five hundred million!
That's five hundred million!
Just a simple calculation, even if he only put the money in the bank, he would earn over 75 million in pure interest annually!
He could live a life of luxury!
The good life was right in front of him!
With this thought, Uchiha Shi's eyes showed no hesitation, he took a step forward, raising his sword!
With that step, his body erupted with the most intense and scorching chakra, a brilliant sun rising behind him.
The cliff walls cracked, a dense web of fissures spreading.
Wielding such overwhelming power, Uchiha Shi felt as if he had returned to his childhood, like Xiao Du, the Little Savior in Dragon Fighter.
Raising his longsword, he shouted, "Victory, Dragon Ascension Sword!"
He was so excited that if someone shouted, "Good opportunity, Xiao Ci!" behind him at that moment, Uchiha Shi would have been thrilled from his toes to his scalp, and he would have responded mercilessly:
"Do you think I'll use the Dragon Ascension Sword? Wrong! I'll transform right here into a kid setting off fireworks, shouting, 'Holy Sword, my holy sword!'"
After all, that was the life Xiao Ci had truly experienced.
In that instant, the memories of the past year in the ninja world flowed like a kaleidoscope before his eyes.
Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Setsuna, Uchiha Seiichiro, Uchiha Obito and his grandmother, the Ninja Tool Shop Owner, Fugaku, Terumi Mei, Shennong, Kakuzu, the Three Ninja of the Hidden Cloud, and the Evil God Sect Trio.
One by one, their faces flashed by in a brief yet long-lasting reverie, Finally, Uchiha Shi's eyes steadied, he twisted the hilt, and raised the sword above his head.
Like King Arthur raising Excalibur, the six-foot-long fire sword erupted with a surging flame!
The intense flames soared, reaching the sky!
It was like a brilliant and righteous sword rising from the sun!
Then, Uchiha Shi raised the great sword, raised his voice, and roared, "Since this is the final farewell, this sword shall be called—"
"Final Blade: Farewell!"
The giant sword slashed horizontally, splitting the clouds in the sky!
At the same time, Kakuzu's face twisted, and he roared, "You think you can kill me? Dream on!"
"Earth Grudge Fear · Final Shot!"
As he shouted, the chakra cannon roared, firing a blue beam filled with the aura of death!
In the next moment, a subtitle suddenly appeared.
[Clash!]
