Chapter 427

Seemingly as if he didn't see Kurotsuchi's strange gaze, Kakuzu stretches his limbs to the fullest, showing his shocking body under the sunlight.

He never feels that his body is ugly.

On the contrary, Kakuzu has always believed that his body is perfect.

Yes, very perfect.

Because this seemingly ugly and twisted body has brought Kakuzu powerful strength!

Kakuzu doesn't care about the eyes of others, because in Kakuzu's view, this is just the gaze of ants.

The reason he hid his body was just to hide his own intelligence.

Letting his body bathe in the sunlight after a long time makes Kakuzu's mood improve a lot; next, he intends to start "working."

"Now,"

"can you trouble yourself to obediently give me your head."

Kakuzu looks toward the young girl on the opposite side, a hint of a cruel look flashing in his fluorescent green pupils.

"What should I do?"

Kurotsuchi asks herself incessantly in her heart; this ninja with a terrifying figure in front of her is clearly not easy to deal with.

Although she comes from the future and is well-versed in many secrets of the current ninja world, it just so happens that she knows almost nothing about this ninja named Kakuzu.

Because in the time and space where the young girl lived, there was never any mention of a powerhouse called "Kakuzu."

It seems unreasonable, but in fact, it is perfectly normal.

History will only remember existences worth remembering; most ninjas' names have long been buried in the long river of history.

Kurotsuchi has no impression of the name Kakuzu in her mind, which can only mean that in the time and space where Kurotsuchi lived, Kakuzu had long been forgotten.

But in any case, the future does not represent the present.

At this moment, in Kakuzu's hands, Kurotsuchi has encountered a real major crisis since coming to this time and space!

Above the clouds of the Land of Rain, an ice clone of Mizunuki Ryosuke floats in the air, overlooking Kurotsuchi and Kakuzu who have "met on a narrow path" below.

Thanks to the Secret Technique: Magic Mirror Illusion, although the ice clone is quite close to the two, under the effect of the Magic Mirror Illusion, the two still have not noticed anything.

Not only that, although Mizunuki Ryosuke had previously obtained the ability to hover through the Ice Dragon King, the volume of the Ice Dragon King was too huge, and it would seem too ostentatious.

The hovering ability used by the ice clone at this moment is precisely the S-rank secret ninjutsu of the Hidden Rock, Earth Release: Light-Weight Rock Technique.

After obtaining Earth Release: Light-Weight Rock Technique from the Hidden Rock, Mizunuki Ryosuke learned this ninjutsu without much effort.

Utilizing the portable hovering ability brought by Earth Release: Light-Weight Rock Technique, this ice clone of Mizunuki Ryosuke has actually been hovering in the air, following by Kurotsuchi's side.

From beginning to end, Kurotsuchi has never escaped Mizunuki Ryosuke's palm.

It is just equivalent to escaping from a fish tank to a larger fish pond.

"I didn't expect that I would really fish out a familiar face."

Mizunuki Ryosuke looks at the ostentatious Kakuzu below, a hint of depth flashing in his eyes.

That's right, both Kakuzu and Kurotsuchi have unknowingly entered the trap set by Mizunuki Ryosuke.

For Kurotsuchi, Mizunuki Ryosuke adopted the strategy of "letting go to catch."

Since it has been established that Kurotsuchi does not have the ability to "go back," then if he wants to win Kurotsuchi's heart, force is obviously the inferior strategy.

And besides force, if he wants Kurotsuchi to stay by Mizunuki Ryosuke's side willingly, he must win Kurotsuchi's favor.

Question: How to quickly increase a woman's favor?

Answer: Of course, it is the age-old routine of a hero saving a beauty.

If there is no opportunity, of course, he must create one.

So whether it is Kurotsuchi's escape or the bounty in the underground exchange, they are all part of Mizunuki Ryosuke's "letting go to catch" plan.

It's just that Mizunuki Ryosuke didn't expect that through the bounty in the underground exchange, he would actually fish out another familiar face.

Kakuzu, one of the members of the Akatsuki organization, codenamed "North Star," formed the "Zombie Duo" in the Akatsuki organization with Hidan in the original work.

In the Akatsuki organization, the Zombie Duo can also be considered to have made significant contributions.

Kakuzu and Hidan not only worked together to capture the Two-Tails but also shouldered the heavy responsibility of raising funds for the organization.

This played a significant role in pushing forward the implementation of Obito and Madara's "Eye of the Moon" plan.

Unlike other members of the Akatsuki organization who were either not born yet or were still just starting out, Kakuzu at this time is still in his peak state.

This is due to the characteristics brought by the secret technique "Earth Grudge Fear" that Kakuzu excels at.

And before joining the Akatsuki organization, Kakuzu had also been active in the underground world of the ninja world, obtaining money through bounties in the underground exchange to satisfy his own desires.

Therefore, it is not strange that Kakuzu would appear here because of Kurotsuchi's bounty in the underground exchange.

After figuring everything out, the ice clone pondered for a moment and finally made up his mind.

Kakuzu's arrival did not affect his "letting go to catch" plan; on the contrary, it had an even better effect.

Thinking of this, the ice clone formed seals with one hand, reporting all the situation here to Mizunuki Ryosuke on the other side.

"Clang!!!!"

Kurotsuchi uses the kunai in her hand, trying her best to block the iron fist coming from Kakuzu; after the kunai and Kakuzu's fist intersect, bursts of metallic clashing sounds erupt.

Earth Release: Hardening Technique!

This is the Earth Release secret technique that Kakuzu excels at; he can use this move to greatly strengthen his melee ability, which has the same effect as the Earth Release: Rock Fist Technique.

Once this technique is performed, Kakuzu's arms will turn a deep black color, possessing a hardness comparable to steel.

At this moment, a huge force comes from the kunai; even if she tries her best, Kurotsuchi is still blasted away directly by Kakuzu.

Hitting Kurotsuchi away with one punch is not enough; Kakuzu slams his hands together violently.

"Pfft!"

The skin sewn together at Kakuzu's shoulder blades instantly ruptures, and a large number of pitch-black tentacle threads swarm out from it.

"Swish!!!"

Secret Technique: Earth Grudge Fear!

Endless black tentacles chase and twist toward Kurotsuchi again; at this moment, Kurotsuchi, who has been blasted away and has no power to parry, instantly becomes in jeopardy.

Recalling the ground that had been attacked by the Earth Grudge Fear tentacles before, Kurotsuchi knows that if she were hit by this strike, she would likely lose her life on the spot.

Kurotsuchi cannot care about anything else and can only use her trump card to get out of the crisis!

In fact, Kurotsuchi herself is also a ninja who carries a bloodline limit; her bloodline is similar to the Lava Release ninja Roshi, but her development level is not yet as good as Roshi's, and its power is far from comparable to Roshi's.

Lava Release: Ash Stone Coagulation Technique!

While flying backward, Kurotsuchi quickly forms seals.

At this moment, she opens her mouth and spits out a large amount of cement mixed with water and lime.

The cement torrent carrying high quality and coagulation characteristics instantly engulfs the pitch-black tentacles; under the impact of the cement torrent, Kakuzu's Earth Grudge Fear tentacle attack not only fails to have an effect but is instead directly imprisoned on the spot.

"Opportunity!"

Kurotsuchi's eyes light up; after landing, she doesn't care about preserving chakra and quickly forms seals again, intending to take advantage of this opportunity to counterattack.

But who would have thought that regarding Kurotsuchi's movements, there is only a hint of a contemptuous smile at the corner of Kakuzu's mouth.
