"Watch me crush you!"
After blocking the incoming hurricane, Seiryū formed hand signs again and pointed at the masked monster flying in midair. "Bakudō #30: Shitotsu Sansen!"
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Three streaks of brilliant golden light, like sharp thorns, pierced through the monster's body and wings.
Its movements were sealed, and it fell straight from the sky.
"Hadō #31: Shakkahō!"
Without stopping his attack, Seiryū formed a sign with his left hand while his right hand thrust forward, releasing an orange red fireball trailing flames.
The practicality of Kido, which required only a single hand sign, was fully displayed.
The casting speed was extremely fast.
Forming signs with the left hand and releasing with the right.
If he had enough Chakra, Seiryū could even turn into a human turret.
Providing fire support on his own.
Becoming a one man army was no longer a dream.
Boom!
Shakkahō struck the masked monster. A roar erupted, explosions rang out, and flames shot into the sky.
The shockwave spread outward.
After taking such an attack, the masked monster was blown to pieces, leaving only half a mask and numerous black threads falling from the air.
"Hmm?"
Sensing that one of his hearts had been destroyed, Kakuzu frowned slightly. "No wonder there is a five million ryo bounty on him in the black market. Is he Konoha's top genius?"
The Wind Release from Earth Grudge Fear had actually been blocked.
At this age, he could already perform Ninjutsu of such power.
Clearly, that brat was Konoha's top genius.
Then Kakuzu seemed to realize something, and his eyes narrowed. "No, if he were just a genius, there would not be a condition to capture him alive."
"That hair color, and that sealing technique that locked down the Wind Release Earth Grudge Fear. Could he be from the Uzumaki Clan?"
Red hair, capable of using Sealing Techniques, and a Konoha Shinobi.
Was that not the symbol of the Uzumaki Clan?
No wonder there was a requirement to capture him alive.
Kakuzu felt he had guessed correctly.
Indeed, regarding Seiryū's bounty in the black market, there was an additional requirement, capture alive.
The greed in his eyes grew even stronger.
Someone with Uzumaki blood could not be measured by just five million ryo.
His value would be even higher.
If he could capture him, it would be a huge profit.
"It seems I do not need to worry."
Tsunade, who had also been paying attention to that side, felt slightly relieved.
Although she believed Katsuyu could protect the three of them, she still worried because Katsuyu was not suited for combat.
Fortunately, Seiryū was not an ordinary Genin. Protecting himself should not be a problem.
Now she needed to get serious.
End this quickly, the sooner the better.
"Yin Seal: Release!"
Forming a hand sign, Tsunade released the Yin Seal on her forehead.
The mark spread like flower shaped patterns across her skin. The stored Chakra was mobilized at this moment, flowing through every part of her body.
It was not the Creation Rebirth: Strength of a Hundred Technique.
She was simply releasing the stored Chakra to enhance her strength.
Boom!
Tsunade kicked off the ground. A burst of Chakra from her legs shattered the earth behind her inch by inch. Her speed surged instantly as she turned into a streak charging toward Kakuzu.
This was something she had learned from Seiryū, using bursts of Chakra in the legs to increase speed.
"How troublesome. I will deal with you first, then."
Seeing Tsunade's speed increase again, Kakuzu did not dare to be careless.
The pressure she put on him was immense.
As expected of the First Hokage's granddaughter.
He had to respond seriously as well.
Boom!
His original position was shattered by Tsunade's punch.
Dodging with a leap, Kakuzu landed not far away and stared at Tsunade with a cold sneer. "None of you will escape today. Let me show you my true power."
"Secret Technique: Earth Grudge Fear Mode!"
Sizzle.
The monsters that had separated from his body returned once more.
In the next moment, black threads surged.
Dense black lines extended from his mouth, joints, and back.
Finally, they formed eight tentacles made of black threads. The tentacles whipped wildly, looking extremely eerie.
The remaining four masks appeared one after another on his shoulders and above his head, making him look like a complete monster.
Looking at Kakuzu's transformed state, Tsunade frowned slightly. "His Chakra has grown stronger. What kind of Ninjutsu is this?"
Even with her knowledge, she had never seen such a bizarre technique.
After merging with the masked monsters, Kakuzu's Chakra fluctuations intensified significantly, far surpassing that of a Jōnin.
Meanwhile.
The system did not respond. Seiryū muttered inwardly, "As expected, this mission is not so easy to complete."
This mission truly was not easy.
Last time, it was completed after Kushina exited her semi Tailed Beast state.
The system's judgment was somewhat unreliable.
Did being resealed count as purification?
He wondered if the completion condition would be a little looser this time.
Still, Seiryū would try to complete any mission for the system's rewards.
They were unique.
Although he might obtain mid tier or high tier Kido gift packs in the future.
But what if he did not?
That would be painful.
Should I take a gamble? Try to see if I can kill this guy.
Watching the battle ahead, Seiryū's eyes flickered as a bold thought emerged.
That was to attempt to kill Kakuzu.
It was not entirely impossible.
Tsunade's strength was not weak. In a one on one fight, her chances of winning should be higher.
Did people really think Tsunade after releasing the Yin Seal was just for show?
As for whether she could kill him alone.
That was unlikely.
Kakuzu was not a fool. If he sensed danger, he would flee.
With Earth Grudge Fear, his margin for error was extremely high.
He was very difficult to kill.
But what if he joined the fight?
He was not an ordinary Genin.
He had quite a few methods.
At present, aside from limited Chakra and insufficient combat experience.
In terms of versatility, ordinary Jōnin were far inferior to him.
As long as he found the right opportunity, killing Kakuzu here was not impossible.
Kakuzu's information was no secret to him.
Thinking of this, Seiryū let out a breath and spoke to the slug beneath him. "Katsuyu-sama, I once heard Tsunade-sensei mention."
"You can transfer Chakra to others, right? Can the kind of Chakra you just used be transferred to me?"
It was true that Seiryū had a special constitution, but he had not fully matured.
The Chakra in his body was still limited. He could not use mid to high level Kido many times.
With a continuous supply of Chakra, his combat strength would not be weak.
There was also one more reason.
He wanted to verify his hypothesis, whether Senjutsu Chakra was the correct way to use Kido incantations.
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, Katsuyu was slightly surprised and did not understand what the little one meant.
But she still explained, "I can transfer Chakra to others, but I can only transfer Tsunade-sama's Chakra, and it requires her cooperation."
"As for my own Chakra, because it contains natural energy, ordinary people cannot use it."
She could indeed transfer Chakra to others with the summoner's cooperation.
That was not difficult.
However, transferring her own Chakra was impossible.
Senjutsu Chakra, which contains natural energy, is like a deadly poison to ordinary people who have not trained in Senjutsu.
