Konoha: The road to the gods starting from Kannabi Bridge

Chapter 424 Collision with Kakuzu
The Country of Waves is a small island country, but unlike the Kingdom of Water, which is far away from the mainland, the Country of Waves is not far from the mainland. To be precise, it is close enough that it can rely on the existing engineering and technical standards of the ninja world to build a cross-sea bridge. The point of the bridge.

of course,

At this time, there is no trace of the cross-sea bridge!
Cardo is not the famous tycoon in the future. He is just a modestly successful businessman. He is not yet qualified to have the ambition to seize a country. Therefore, the current country of Wave is still in a not very good, but it can survive. status.

correct,

The Land of Waves is a country without ninja villages.

However, the absence of a ninja village does not mean that there are no ninja activities here. It is better to say that this kind of place without an overly powerful local ninja force is suitable for a hidden force like the gold exchange to take root.

"I showed up at the gold exchange office yesterday evening, and now it's the next morning. This guy Kakuzu shouldn't be traveling all night, right?" Yuzhang stood on the coast of the Country of Waves, identifying the direction.

He used the Heavenly Sending Technique to cross the distance of thousands of miles and arrived in the Kingdom of Waves in just an instant.

This is not the first time he has used the art of heavenly sending.

After mastering this secret technique, he has secretly left Kirigakure Village and practiced it many times in uninhabited places. Not only is he familiar with this secret technique, but he can also apply it freely. It can more accurately determine your landing point, so that there is no excessive landing point deviation.

Yuzhang's perception ability is no longer what it used to be. Different from the narrow range of perception during the Kannabi Bridge period, he can now perceive chakra fluctuations hundreds of kilometers away when he concentrates his energy and exerts all his strength.

Yuzhang's range of perception encompasses the entire country, and he can even see the situation in a large area of ​​​​the sea.

If you insist on saying it,
It feels very similar to that guy in Beilihu.

"Good luck! Sure enough, the person is still there."

According to his previous perception, there are probably less than a hundred living beings with refined chakra in the entire Kingdom of Waves, and among these living beings, only one has powerful chakra fluctuations that stand out from the crowd, and it is different from ordinary humans. The chakra fluctuations are not the same.

"Since people are still here, let's have a good communication next!"

The whole person jumped into the air and flew towards the north-west direction at a high speed. The very strong chakra wave was currently moving at a slow speed to the north-west direction of the Country of Waves.

Just right,

It was as if multiple different human auras were forcibly spliced ​​together to form a new existence, and this... was the reason why Yuzhang had to look for Jade Capital.

Yuzhang stood up, with a happy smile on his face.

As for the technique of heavenly sending, it will bring a huge and unbearable load to the body of the user... This is not a problem at all for Yuzhang. The golden lace clothes are enough to offset this huge load. A load, and even if he didn't use the Golden Thread Clothes, he could still bear this burden just by relying on his peak hardening technique.

quickly,

The longest diameter of the entire island does not exceed one hundred kilometers.

Yes,

Today,

The Country of Waves is a very small island country.

That is,

Yuzhang murmured to himself.

Therefore,
He accurately set foot on the land of the Kingdom of Waves.

"Let me see if there are any conspicuous targets nearby!" While muttering to himself, Yuzhang squatted down, stretched out his fingers and touched the ground, activated the [Earth Listening Technique], and with the help of this abundant energy With the rock element, his range of perception was amplified hundreds of times.

Immediately,

With Yuzhang flying with all his strength, he came to the sky above the uninhabited forest in the northwest of the Country of Waves.

In fact,
It would be faster to use the Heavenly Sending Technique to get here, but Yuzhang did not intend to reveal too early that he had mastered the Heavenly Sending Technique. Anyway, the distance was not that far away. With his flying speed, it would still take more time to get here. Soon, there will be no need to use the art of heavenly sending to move.

As the distance gets closer,
Even if he didn't deliberately use the Heavenly Sending Technique, he could still sense the conspicuous chakra fluctuations like a bonfire in the dark night. Yuzhang slowed down his flying speed and approached Kakuzu at a constant speed.

below,

Kakuzu was walking slowly along the path in the forest.

He came to the Country of Waves this time because the gold exchange in the Country of Yu did not have enough funds to pay him the remuneration he deserved, so he took his prey to the nearest gold exchange in the Country of Waves. Here the prey in his hands is exchanged for charming banknotes! !
only,
This happy mood did not last long. He noticed the unscrupulous eyes looking at him from above. He was not unfamiliar with this kind of hunter-like eyes, because he also used the same eyes to look at everyone. A valuable prey.

then,

He stopped and looked up at the sky.

As a strong person who has survived since the Warring States Period, he has extremely strong confidence in his own strength. As long as he does not break into the five ninja villages alone, he is confident that he can cope with any accident.

only--

Today's accident obviously surprised him.

"Acting Mizukage... Kozhi Yuzhang!!" Kakuzu looked at the figure in the sky that was slowly lowering its altitude, and a flash of surprise flashed in his green eyes like a hungry wolf. color.

He really never thought that he would meet this person in a small and inconspicuous place like the Country of Waves. On the reward list of the underground money exchange, the reward amount was already among the top five! ! !

Could it be that this Mizukage came alone?

If there were no Mist Ninja to follow...perhaps we could trade this Mizukage's head for a large sum of money! !

Greedy thoughts began to grow crazily like weeds after the rain. The eyes he looked at Yuzhang were already stained with greed. He didn't even bother to think about why Agent Shuiying appeared here. In general, After some sensing and finding that there were no other chakra fluctuations around, all he could think about was hunting the Mizukage, the agent of Kirigakure Village, to make money.

There are already tiny black tentacles coming out of the wrists like snakes.

"The S-class rebel ninja of Takigakure Village, Kakuzu."

Yuzhang was also condescendingly looking at this old guy who was said to be 'as old as heaven and earth'. Different from the image in his memory of the Akatsuki organization's black-bottomed red cloud robe, Kakuzu was now just wearing a simple black suit. There was a black mask on his face, and apart from his pair of ferocious wolf-like green eyes, there was nothing special about him.

of course,

He also noticed the greed in Kakuzu's eyes.

"The look in your eyes is really scary! Are you planning to take my body to the gold exchange for money?" Yuzhang stood firm on the top of the tree and said with a smile. "...Did the people at the money exchange betray my whereabouts?"

Kakuzu's reaction was extremely quick.

Although he couldn't wait to hunt the agent Mizukage of Kirigakure Village, he still inferred from Yuzhang's words how his information was known by Yuzhang Yuzhang, the agent Mizukage. of.

And looking at this situation,

This agent Mizukage must have been near the Country of Waves recently, otherwise it would be impossible for him to rush from Kirigakure Village to the Country of Waves so quickly.

"Is there anything strange about this? The money exchange is originally an intelligence agency, and selling information is one of their businesses. Based on your experience... this kind of thing should have been commonplace, right?"

"The problem is that he betrayed my information but did not give me my due share."

Kakuzu replied in a deep voice.

And this answer,
This also made Yuzhang speechless for a moment. He didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only sigh in his heart that Kakuzu really wanted money. His obsession with money was indeed so strong that it was a bit exaggerated. .

"Agent Mizukage, don't talk nonsense. What you just said is right. I don't care why you appear here. I just want to take your body to the money exchange to exchange for money, and I will collect the money they sold me." The information should be given to me!!!"

Without waiting for Yuzhang to speak,
Kakuzu, who was already a little impatient, continued speaking quickly, clearly expressing his interest in a Kage who was alone and without any helpers around him! ! !

And as the words fell,
He clapped his hands sharply.

The black clothes behind him broke instantly, and two black masked monsters burst through the clothes and came out from behind Kakuzu. The bodies of these two monsters were composed of thousands of black tentacles. The difference is that their masks are different. Apart from the shape, one mask has yellow patterns and the other has cyan patterns.

The two masked monsters attacked Yuzhang as soon as they escaped from Kakuzu's body.

"Water Release·Water Trumpet Technique!!"

"Thunder Release·Grateful Wave!"

The cyan-patterned mask monster used the water escape technique, while the yellow-patterned mask monster used the thunder escape technique. The two created an extremely beautiful coordination, and the flowing water entwined with thunder light splashed towards Yuzhang. passed.

This,

It’s not over yet! !
"Fire Escape·Tou Ke Ku!"

"Wind Escape·Press!"

On the left and right sides of Kakuzu's main body, two masked monsters emerged, one with a red mask and the other with a blue mask. One of them opened his mouth and spit out blazing flames, and the other spit out high-density flames. of wheals.

The two coincide,
In an instant, there was a vast sea of ​​fire that could engulf an entire forest and turn it into ashes.

Kakuzu went all out when he made a move, and did not show mercy because he needed corpses or heads to exchange for money at the money exchange. Although he was confident to the point of being almost arrogant.

But he can survive until now,
But not only because the secret technique he captured gave him a nearly immortal lifespan, but also because he had a strong enough eyesight and did not look down on the agent Mizukage just because he looked too young.

Admittedly,

Even shadows have differences in strength and weakness.

But this acting Mizukage is obviously not a weak Kage. He can transform from a rebellious ninja in Iwagakure Village into the acting Mizukage of Kirigakure Village. How could such a person be a weakling?
Look down on such prey,
That would probably reverse the identities of hunter and prey.

Besides——

His all-out attack may not have any effect!

This is exactly the case,
In the sea of ​​​​fire, a golden-looking figure stepped on the flames and walked out calmly, and said something in his mouth: "Sure enough, there is no way to communicate without a good fight. Since the two sides are You took the initiative to start the fight, so I will give you a fight based on the principle of courtesy and reciprocity!!!"

The next moment,

"Earth Release·Yellow Spring Marsh!!"

Yuzhang, who was still in the sea of ​​fire, suddenly stamped his feet.

I saw that the originally solid land nearby softened instantly and turned into soft mud. The masked monster with cyan and yellow patterns was caught off guard and was directly swallowed by the mire, which had its feet made of black tentacles.

Even the main body of Kakuzu suddenly sank.

"Earth Release·The Technique of Hardening!!"

Kakuzu's reaction was extremely fast. He quickly formed seals with his hands and performed a restraining earth escape technique. He originally planned to turn all the softened land back to a solid state.

however--

As a result, only the land with a radius of one meter around the body returned to a solid state, while the land outside of it was still in the shape of a swamp. Half of the two masked monsters that escaped had sunk. Go down.

No matter how hard they struggled, no matter how powerful the thunder and water escape techniques they released, they could not reverse their fate of being swallowed up by this quagmire.

"The art of gold bricks!"

Yuzhang waved.

Two gold bricks of standard size flew out with a roar, like two fired cannonballs, hitting the two masked monsters whose bodies were swallowed up by the swamp, directly smashing their masks, and with them The heart hidden behind the mask was also beaten to pieces.

Seeing such a touch,
Kakuzu's remaining three hearts sank suddenly.

I said it before,
He is very discerning.

He lost two hearts in just one round against the agent Mizukage. This was the first time he encountered such a miserable situation after he mastered the forbidden art called Earth Resentment Yu!
The overwhelming aura displayed by Tamaki Koeda made him involuntarily recall the enemy who had given him a tragic defeat - the first Hokage of Konoha. ! !
"How's it going? Kakuzu, do you have the patience to talk to me now? Or do I need to break your two hearts again before we talk?" Yuzhang waved his hand to extinguish the flames in front of him, looking at Kakuzu, who was trapped in the middle of the swamp, asked patiently.

"...Mizukage, the agent of Kirigakure Village, you seem to know my Earth Resentment Technique very well?"

Kakuzu answered Yuzhang's inquiry with a rhetorical question.

But instead of continuing to attack, he spoke, which was an answer in itself.
