386. Chapter 378: Kakuzu who read the wrong lines

BOOM!!!

"That is..."

"Such a strong aura!"

"Can we really win?"

Accompanied by the appearance of Uchiha Madara's henshin special effects, the entire island trembled under the aftermath of his terrifying power. The knights who were fighting stopped their movements one after another, their eyes filled with curiosity, shock, fear, and a series of other expressions.

The dazzling white light slowly dissipated. Standing in front of Kakuzu was the ultimate fox god in white and red. In his yellow compound eyes, there was a faint scarlet afterglow, making people subconsciously move their eyes away in fear.

"Gulp~"

Kakuzu swallowed hard. Sure enough, only after experiencing it personally could one understand Uchiha Madara's terror. He regretted his impulsiveness just now.

But there was no regret medicine for sale in the world. Kakuzu could only bite the bullet and go up. The short blade in his hand didn't hesitate like its master, still extremely sharp.

"Ping~"

If this sword were placed on an ordinary ninja, it would probably be torn apart, but for Uchiha Madara, Kakuzu's exquisite sword had no lethality. With a simple wave of his hand, the wind force from the air blew him away for several meters.

"Cough cough cough..."

Kakuzu, who blocked Uchiha Madara's casual blow, felt a roll in his chest. After landing, he looked down at his trembling arm with a bitter face.

"Beast god, please help me!"

At the critical moment, Kakuzu chose to ask Chomei-A-Dream for help.

"No hope, wait for death~"

The Seven-Tails had already prepared to be humiliated by Kurama. After all, even if the eight of them added together, they might not be Kurama's opponent, let alone a single caterpillar.

"If it's only this level, then take the initiative to de-henshin and admit defeat."

Uchiha Madara looked at the silent Kakuzu and shook his head lightly. He had no interest in this level of opponent.

But he didn't expect that Kakuzu didn't do so, but stood up and blocked in front of Uchiha Madara. The trembling short blade in his hand began to become steady.

Frowning, Uchiha Madara instantly disappeared from the spot and entered high-speed movement. In less than the blink of an eye, he was already behind Kakuzu and simply threw a punch.

"Bang!"

Sensing the world-destroying aura behind him, Kakuzu reacted quickly, pulled his sword back, and stabbed at Uchiha Madara's open ribs.

"Success!"

Just when he thought his counterattack was successful, a disdainful smile flashed under Uchiha Madara's mask. He didn't care about the short blade stabbing at him at all and slammed his fist onto Kakuzu's back.

"Sizzle~"

"Boom!"

Two sounds rang out one after another. Kakuzu's sharp short blade didn't leave half a trace on Uchiha Madara's armor.

But Kakuzu, who took a punch, smashed into the ground like a cannonball, instantly smashing a big hole in the hard stage.

"Pfft!"

Old blood sprayed from the mouth of Kakuzu's mask, and his body was tightly embedded in the ground.

"Sword senior!"

If Mako could continue to OMO at this time, she would really be a born-to-be-useless. She saw her flash to Kakuzu's side, reached out her small hand, and pulled hard, actually pulling the silver knight embedded deep in the ground out.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Sword senior, are you okay?"

"Phew~ Phew~ Phew~"

Kakuzu, who had suffered extremely heavy internal injuries, panted, pushed away Mako who was supporting him, bent down to pick up the short blade on the ground, turned around, and walked toward Uchiha Madara with a limp.

"Still want to fight?"

Uchiha Madara raised his eyebrows in surprise. This guy's courage was indeed commendable.

"I haven't lost yet!"

While walking, Kakuzu put a card into the card slot at the tail of the short blade.

"AbsorbQueen! FusionJack!"

Golden light sprinkled down. Kakuzu, who was shrouded in it, began to walk vigorously. A pair of insect wings unfolded behind him, and the short blade in his hand turned into a long knife.

"Second round! It's my turn to attack!"

After the successful upgrade, the injuries Kakuzu had just suffered recovered as before. The long knife in his hand exuded a cold light, and the wings behind him spread out, killing toward Uchiha Madara at an extremely fast speed.

"This move is a bit like it~"

Sensing Kakuzu's current aura, which was several times stronger than before, Uchiha Madara moved his heart. The light particles in his hand condensed, and in the blink of an eye, he had an extra blade gun.

"Ping!"

The two weapons collided, making a sharp explosion. The air waves generated during the collision almost blew Onoki, who was flying in the air to avoid ice blades, away.

"That guy can actually be on par with Uchiha Madara?"

Onoki, who stabilized his figure, blinked in surprise. As a man who had been ravaged by Uchiha Madara several times, how could he not know the other party's terror?

"Ping!"

"Clap!"

"Bang!"

With the speed blessing of the wings, Kakuzu could barely keep up with Uchiha Madara's movements, but the long knife in his hand was repeatedly blocked by the other party easily. His mentality gradually underwent some changes.

"Dong!"

Finally, Kakuzu's rapid attacks like a rainstorm finally showed flaws the moment he was distracted. Uchiha Madara, who had played enough, raised his hand and stabbed simply, ending the "hearty" battle.

Kakuzu, who couldn't dodge, was blown away again just like that. After landing, his face looked a bit ugly.

"Are you teasing me?"

"I'm teasing a fool~"

He didn't expect Uchiha Madara to actually nod. This made Kakuzu's eyes go black with anger. But fortunately, his years of cultivation were still there. He knew he couldn't be swayed by the other party's words.

"Phew~ The world is so beautiful, but you are so irritable. Is this good? This is not good!"

After a period of self-guidance, Kakuzu cheered up again, waved the golden long knife, and rushed toward Uchiha Madara again.

"But I'm tired of playing now."

Facing the aggressive Kakuzu, Uchiha Madara just shook his head lightly. The blade gun in his hand erupted with several fire-red rays of light, shooting toward Kakuzu who was about to approach.

Boom boom boom~ boom boom

Accompanied by the violent explosion, black thick smoke shrouded the entire venue. When the smoke cleared, Kakuzu, who had regressed to the silver-white basic form, lay in a big pit, his whole body smoking. If it weren't for the red compound eyes still having spirit, Uchiha Madara would have been ready to open the banquet.

"Da~ Da~ Da~"

Turning the blade gun back into light particles, Uchiha Madara walked past Kakuzu and headed toward the direction where Mako was hiding. But before he had taken a few steps, he found his foot grabbed by someone.

"Eh?"

Looking down at the big hand grabbing his calf, Uchiha Madara frowned, then spoke lightly.

"Is it worth it? You clearly have no desire to fight."

"Cough cough..."

Uchiha Madara could feel from the beginning of the battle that the man under his feet had never thought of fighting for real. What drove him was perhaps only the money promised by that woman.

"Cough cough cough... I... have no dreams, but I can protect other people's dreams."

"Although the lines are wrong, I won't watch the top ten moving figures of the Ninja World and national model workers this year if there is no prison~"

Standing up tremblingly, Kakuzu's voice carried a certain unwavering belief. The power generated by this belief made Uchiha Gin, who had been watching the battle, look sideways.

"Well said, I can spare your life."

Except for necessary situations, Uchiha Madara was not a murderous person. So even though Kakuzu had been pestering him, he didn't have the thought of hurting anyone's life, especially since this guy seemed to have a belief beyond ordinary people, which counted as a character.

"Sword senior!"

Just when Uchiha Madara wanted to raise his hand to push Kakuzu away, Mako's figure appeared between the two like a ghost. This time the roles were swapped, and she protected the seriously injured Kakuzu.

"Cough cough cough... Idiot! What are you doing? You are the employer. If you die, who should I ask for money?"

Kakuzu, who had slowly recovered under the nourishment of the Seven-Tails' power, looked at Mako blocking in front of him, and the veins on his head jumped with anger.

"Sword senior, rest assured and heal your wounds. Leave the rest to me. I am very strong~"

Turning around and gesturing her small muscles to Kakuzu, who was furious, Mako, who turned back, swept away the innocence on her face. Her serious expression gave Uchiha Madara the illusion of seeing a female version of Hashirama.

"The thing on your body is very interesting."

The scarlet eyes under the mask had already seen through Mako in front of him. Of course, it wasn't the lewd transparency of the Byakugan, but seeing the monster hidden in her body clearly.

"Uchiha Madara found that woman. She is dead. Clearly an ordinary person, yet she insists on participating in this kind of battle."

The knights who didn't know the truth looked at Mako confronting Uchiha Madara and shook their heads regretfully. In their view, a woman who wasn't a Tailed Beast knight was simply straying into this century battle. Besides death, there was probably no other outcome.

"Interesting? I think it's very troublesome, and it secretly did evil things."

Mako curled her lips upon hearing this, and then, in the surprised eyes of most people, she took out a gray driver of the same style as theirs from the small bag behind her.

"Huh?"

"Nani? Baka-ren!"

"Could it be that besides the nine Tailed Beasts, there are other unknown secret Tailed Beasts?"

For a time, all the knights stopped fighting tacitly and looked straight at Mako, who had buckled the driver to her slender waist. Their colorful compound eyes were full of curiosity.

After Mako buckled the driver, she slowly closed her eyes. After opening them again, a violent look that made everyone feel startled leaked from her beautiful eyes. Immediately after, a scarlet card filled with a cannibalistic aura appeared in her hand.

"A guy I haven't seen before, doesn't look like a Tailed Beast."

Kinkaku, who had studied Tailed Beasts quite a bit, looked at the ferocious monster on the card in Mako's hand, and his brows frowned tightly.

"Old Eight, do you recognize that guy?"

In the sea of consciousness, Kinkaku asked the Eight-Tails for help. These Tailed Beasts had lived for so many years and were well-informed; they should recognize that monster.

"This... it turns out Chomei wasn't bragging?"

The Eight-Tails looked blankly at Mako, who was pushing the scarlet card into the driver. Recalling the bragging Chomei had done in the Tailed Beast chat room many years ago, saying that it and the old man hadn't eliminated the monster after fighting for eight hundred rounds, they had scoffed and thought it was just a daydream of a caterpillar.

"Don't play riddles. What on earth is it?"

Seeing that the Eight-Tails recognized this monster, Kinkaku couldn't help but urge.

"It is Satori, a kind of monster that feeds on humans."

In the viewing area, Chiyo frantically rubbed her Kazelan big eyes. She had painstakingly collected all the knight data before, but she never expected that she had missed one. She then asked Shenhuo, who had a look of heartache on the side.

"Your wife can also henshin? Is she also a knight?"

"Knight... no, Mako prefers to call herself..."

"Amazon!" (End of chapter)
