Chapter 808

~4 min read 731 words

To be old and not die is to be a thief; this saying is not false at all.

Even after many years, compared to powerhouses like Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, Kakuzu's strength was still not enough to look at.

But for so many years, Kakuzu had not been standing still.

Time had brought Kakuzu an advantage called "experience."

Especially compared to the extremely immature Heitu in front of him, Kakuzu's combat experience could completely be said to be more than ten streets ahead of Heitu.

Regarding Heitu's slightly impatient counterattack, Kakuzu appeared unhurried, with a hint of contempt in his eyes.

Faced with his tentative attack, the opponent actually chose to reveal her trump card directly; such combat awareness could be said to be "childish."

And this was inevitable; with Heitu's background and age, she hadn't experienced many bloody battles, so it was perfectly normal to reveal flaws.

Heitu's Lava Release: Ash Stone Coagulation Technique solidified all the pitch-black tentacles that surged from Kakuzu's shoulder blade on the spot.

Because the tentacles were solidified by cement, the huge weight also restrained Kakuzu, causing Kakuzu to be unable to move for a time.

Seeing that Heitu's seal forming was about to be completed, Kakuzu was not panicked at all.

Or rather, he was deliberately letting Heitu perform ninjutsu.

Just when Heitu was one seal away from completing her ninjutsu, the ground under her feet suddenly ruptured.

"Boom!!!"

With a roar, several pitch-black tentacles condensed from pitch-black filthy threads suddenly broke through the ground.

"What!"

Heitu was greatly alarmed in her heart; seeing that the pitch-black tentacles were about to pierce through her body, a hint of struggle flashed in Heitu's eyes.

Because one must know, at this very moment, Heitu's ninjutsu was only one seal away; as long as she formed this seal, her ninjutsu would also be successfully activated, and at that time, Kakuzu, who could not move, would also be directly killed by her ninjutsu.

If she could kill Kakuzu first, then Kakuzu's strange tentacle ninjutsu would inevitably terminate, and at that time she could also directly achieve victory in the battle.

So should she gamble?

In this less than one-thousandth of a second, a hint of struggle flashed in Heitu's heart.

And opposite Heitu, Kakuzu, who was imprisoned by cement, had a hint of playfulness flash in his eyes.

A ninja's battle is not only a constant collision between each other, but also a game on a psychological level.

Kakuzu could have directly manipulated the tentacles to attack Heitu, but he insisted on waiting until the moment Heitu's seal forming was about to be completed before taking action, also wanting to use Heitu's inner gambling psychology to directly solve Heitu.

If Heitu really decided to gamble, then she would also directly fall into Kakuzu's trap.

This kind of situation was precisely what Kakuzu was best at; when it came to the style of "trading injury for injury," he had never been afraid of anyone.

Because even if he stood still and let Heitu hit him, Heitu couldn't kill him with one move.

Now, it depended on how Heitu chose.

In the end, Heitu decided to follow her instinct.

She forcibly stopped the action of forming seals and used the Body Flicker Technique to dodge towards the back.

"Whoosh!"

Kakuzu's tentacles missed again, but this time it was no longer a return without success.

Even though she activated the Body Flicker Technique in time, Heitu failed to dodge the tentacle attack perfectly this time.

"Damn it!"

Heitu covered her arm and cursed in a low voice, gritting her teeth.

She lowered her head and looked at her arm, only to see a pitch-black mark on her flawless white forearm.

Not only that, on the wound on her forearm, it seemed as if filthy thread ends were surging within it.

It turned out that when she dodged just now, she was caught off guard and was scratched by Kakuzu's pitch-black tentacles.

Before Heitu could catch her breath, a sound like stone shattering entered her ears.

"Boom!!!"

Only to see the cement blocks that had solidified Kakuzu's large number of tentacles were actually torn to pieces by Kakuzu's Earth Grudge Fear tentacles.

Heitu's pupils contracted slightly; it turned out that Kakuzu had been teasing her all along; these few bits of cement, he could have broken free from them at will.
