The land of earth.
The valley is surrounded by high mountains, with lush trees, and the mountains are full of poisonous insects and ferocious beasts. It is impossible for ordinary people to safely cross here without ninja escorts.
At this time, two tall men in black robes stepped into the mountain.
It was precisely to offer a reward for Kakuzu and the Kodama incarnation who went deep into the mountains and forests.
Kakuzu confirmed the information in the intelligence scroll, looked around, and said:
"According to the intelligence, 10 million taels should be hiding here."
"Let's go." Bai Yu nodded. Now his body has followed Kushina to the ruins of the Kingdom of Whirlpool, and part of his consciousness is remotely controlling the incarnation of the wood spirit.
On the one hand, he wanted to experience the power of Wood Release personally, and on the other hand, he could also take advantage of this opportunity to travel around the ninja world with Kakuzu, and maybe he could find some special herbs and minerals.
I have to say that Kakuzu has really carved money into his soul. He is either making money or on the way to making money.
He has been searching the mountains for three days for this '10 million taels' that may be hiding in the valley. It can be seen that he is not ready to give up if he does not find the target.
In the past few days, Bai Yu had collected a lot of specimens and special plants in the mountains, which was considered a worthwhile trip.
"When you find the target later, you will be responsible for feinting and attracting the target's attention. I will do the main attack!"
Kakuzu said in a deep voice.
In this two-person action team, Kakuzu's status is higher than that of "Kodama".
"No problem, then I'll explore the way first." Bai Yu nodded.
He didn't care who was directing, after all, he wasn't as familiar as Kakuzu.
Kakuzu, who has lived for more than eighty years, can be called a living map of the ninja world.
As long as he can make money, he has basically been there.
Just the narrow path leading into the valley is not something that ordinary people can find.
Looking at Bai Yu's back quickly heading towards the valley, Kakuzu's face was expressionless and his eyes flickered slightly.
Click, click, click!
As soon as Bai Yu walked into the valley, he heard a strange sound, which was a bit like the sound of a puppet moving its joints.
Whoosh whoosh!
A sound broke through the air.
More than a dozen kunai shot out from the tree trunk behind Bai Yu.
The one who shot these kunai was a humanoid puppet.
boom--!
Bai Yu dodged a few times to avoid the kunai that was shooting at him. The detonating charms tied to the kunai burned up in mid-air, creating a huge explosion.
Affected by the shock wave generated by the explosion, Bai Yu's body turned upside down and flew out.
At this time, two groups of violent flames swept from Bai Yu's side.
The one who released the flames was a handsome red-haired boy who looked like he was underage. He was controlling two puppets, releasing flames on one left and one on the right, blocking all of Bai Yu's escape routes.
boom!
'Wind escape·pressure! '
'Fire Escape·Head Hard Work! '
At this time, on the cliff of the valley, two humanoid creatures wearing masks and composed of black linear tentacles suddenly appeared and launched a combination of ninjutsu.
'Complex Ninja Technique·Fire Wind and Waves! '
The super high-pressure wind ball formed a powerful whirlwind and swept towards the red-haired boy.
The fire escape released by another Yu mask monster was catalyzed by the wind escape and spread rapidly.
A giant wave of flames like a tsunami crashed down with overwhelming momentum.
Not only was the red-haired boy and the puppet he controlled completely covered, but Bai Yu was also attacked together.
"Damn Kakuzu, no wonder you said you don't want a partner, you're so stupid!" Bai Yu cursed with a smile, clasped his hands together, and when the flames were about to invade his body, he released the wood escape ninjutsu.
Wood escape·Wooden spindle wall!
Duh duh duh!
Rows of curved wooden piles broke out of the ground and quickly formed an arched wooden wall, protecting Bai Yu within it.
The flames engulfed the entire valley, turning it into a brazier.
"Have you killed it?" Kakuzu looked at the smoke-filled valley and frowned slightly: "Huh? This is... the Third Kazekage?!"
The scene before him shocked Kakuzu.
At the edge of the valley, the red-haired boy had disappeared, leaving behind a dark cube that looked less like a rock and more like metal.
The most important thing is that the puppet controlling the black cube looks like the third generation Kazekage who disappeared a few years ago.
As the leader of Sunagakure Village, one of the five great ninja villages, the Third Kazekage is also the strongest Kazekage in history. He has mastered the Magnetic Release Ninjutsu and is one of the strongest people in the world.
He disappeared mysteriously a few years ago, and this incident also became one of the reasons why Sunagakure launched an attack on Konoha.
Unexpectedly, he was made into a puppet?
I’m afraid no one would dare to believe it!
In addition, what makes Kakuzu even more confused is that on the other side, where the "Kodama" was just now, a wooden buttress appeared.
This is...wooden ninjutsu? ! !
Kaka!
Bai Yu controlled the arch wall to open, looked at Kakuzu above the cliff, and couldn't help but complain: "Hey! Kakuzu, are you planning to kill me too?"
Kakuzu frowned and said nothing.
At this time, the dark iron cube opened from the middle, revealing the handsome face of the red-haired boy.
"I remembered, you seem to be the Red Sand Scorpion, the Jonin of Hidden Sand Village, and you are the ninja who disappeared with the Third Kazekage. Now it seems that you were the one who killed the Third Kazekage?!"
Kakuzu spoke.
"Since you have discovered my secret, no matter who you are, I will keep you here today!" The scorpion boy's voice sounded full of emotion, with a cold murderous intent in his tone.
"I want to see how much strength the Third Kazekage who was made into a puppet actually had during his lifetime!"
Kakuzu's face darkened slightly, and his body suddenly swelled.
Immediately afterwards, the other two Yu mask monsters escaped from his body.
Although he said it lightly, he did not dare to be careless in the face of the strongest Kazekage in history, and was ready to use all his strength as soon as he came up.
"Mu Ling, the situation has changed. Now, regardless of priority, let's kill him together!"
Kakuzu shouted to Bai Yu below.
"Hey! I haven't forgiven you for attacking me just now!"
Bai Yu complained.
boom!
The huge triangular pyramid-shaped piece of sand and iron pierced towards Bai Yu, piercing a huge hole where he had just landed.
"Why did you attack me without saying hello!? Do I look weak?" Bai Yu said angrily, with a hint of joking in his voice.
The talent spell "Chain of Emotions" is very special, different from "Incarnation of Wood Spirit" and "Demonized Scales".
This spell is an additional addition to the "Advanced Warlock Meditation Method" and is bound to Bai Yu's soul. Unlike "Incarnation of the Wood Spirit" and "Demonized Scales", which require the power of blood to be activated.
Therefore, when part of Bai Yu's soul is now placed in the body of the incarnation of the wood spirit, he can still activate the "Chain of Emotions" to collect emotions.
The power of various emotions gathered in his soul, and now Bai Yu also began to consciously play various emotional roles in order to master the power of emotions on a deeper level.
It has to be said that he is calmer than usual, now that he is wearing a vest, some of his hidden attributes seem to be activated.
"Joker." Looking at the masked man who kept dodging, Xia said expressionlessly, constantly controlling the third generation Kazekage's human puppet, launching attacks on Bai Yu.
"Kakuzu! Why don't you come to help!" Bai Yu's anxious voice sounded.
Standing on the cliff, Jiaodu shook his head slightly: "Sure enough, it can't be him."
Water Escape·Water Curtain!
Fire Escape·Head Hard Work!
Thunder Escape·Pseudo Darkness!
Wind Escape·Press!
Earth escape, earth spear, tentacle fist!
At this time, Jiao Jiao, who had been watching the battle, simultaneously launched five escape techniques, covering Bai Yu and Scorpion below again.
"Hey! Kakuzu! What are you doing?" Bai Yu's frightened and angry voice sounded, but the movements of his hands were not slow at all. He retreated while releasing the Wood Release.
On the other side, Scorpion's reaction was faster. He jumped up and jumped behind the Third Kazekage. Then he controlled the human puppet to use magnetic escape to fly into the sky. After evading Kakuzu's five escape chain ninjutsu, he used A large-scale attack magnetic escape ninjutsu.
'Magnet Release·Sandite Shigure! '
A large amount of sand and iron were like raindrops, densely covering the entire sky. Immediately afterwards, these raindrops of sand and iron quickly turned into thousands of pieces and shot towards Kakuzu and Bai Yu.
Whoosh whoosh!
Thin and sharp sounds of breaking through the air could be heard endlessly. Thousands of sand and iron formed a large airtight net, striking the ground and cliffs like a carpet.
In the blink of an eye, the ground had been turned into a hornet's nest, densely covered with thousand needle-like needles.
Because Kakuzu was far away, he immediately regrouped the Earth Resentment Yu Mask Monster, and then released the Earth Release Ninjutsu to block Sunatetsu Senbon's first wave of attacks.
After the earth wall was broken by Sandite Senbon, he relied on the skin hardening ability of 'Earth Release·Earth Spear' to block subsequent attacks.
"Kill one of them!" Xie looked down, glanced at Bai Yu who was tied up like a hedgehog, curled his lips, and then looked at Kakuzu: "Now it's your turn."
Kakuzu frowned. He didn't expect that a reward of 10 million taels would be so difficult.
That damn Kodama guy, how could he be killed so easily, what a waste... Kakuzu looked at Bai Yu who had been killed, and complained in his heart.
"Oh! It's such a close call!"
At this time, a joking voice suddenly came from the cliff.
Kakuzu was startled and turned around to see the unharmed Bai Yu standing next to him.
Bai Yu stretched out his right hand, separated his index finger and thumb, made a gesture, and complained in a very exaggerated tone: "I was really close to being killed!"
Kakuzu quickly looked at the 'corpse' below, feeling a chill in his heart.
Bai Yu's body was still lying there, but it had turned into a wooden figure in human form.
"This is... the Wood Clone Jutsu?!" Kakuzu's eyes widened. This was definitely not a low-level ninjutsu like the Substitute Jutsu, but the Wood Clone Jutsu.
Back then, he was sent by Takinigakure to assassinate the first generation, and he had a battle with the first generation's wooden clone. In the end, he was seriously injured and almost died. This kind of horrific memory still left a deep impression on him even after so many years.
Wood spirit!
Who is he?
Why can I use Wood Release?
What’s the relationship with the first generation?
Could he really...
Just when Kakuzu was confused and confused, Bai Yu beside him suddenly returned to his normal tone and said in a low voice: "Forget it, it's not fun."
Bai Yu clapped his hands: "Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"
Rumble~
The earth trembled violently, and the ground was cracked. Like an earth dragon turning over, a huge dragon-shaped tree trunk more than forty meters long broke out of the ground, covered with spikes.
The wooden dragon jumped up like a living creature. A divine dragon swung its tail, and with a terrifying sound of sonic boom, it threw away the huge black cube summoned by Scorpion's magnetic escape.
Kakuzu looked in disbelief: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The first Hokage has..."
