At this time, Suzumebachi was shocked by Kakuzu's immense strength!
'What level of Shinobi is this?!'
'How is he so strong?!'
He's completely not on the same level as us!
But what shocked her even more was Takumi, who remained completely unharmed facing Kakuzu's attacks.
Against such a terrifying opponent, Takumi just sat openly on the ground without even dodging.
Kakuzu continuously unleashed various attacks.
However, every single one of his attacks encountered an accident.
Either the mask's direction was wrong, or something intruded, causing the attack to miss Takumi, or a sudden strange wind would blow his mask askew.
In short,
none of his attacks were successfully executed.
"I#￥#￥%*@#￥@#￥!"
Kakuzu shouted angrily, his speech extremely fast and extremely vicious!
In short, Takumi couldn't understand a single word.
But from Kakuzu's flushed face, it was clear he was extremely furious!
After all, he had just boasted, and Takumi hadn't even used his dodging ability from last time against him.
Yet after fighting for so long, it was all his own mistakes!
"About time."
Takumi checked the time.
The Incredible Luck's duration is over.
He slowly stood up, patted the dust off his backside, and said, "I've been sitting here for so long. Where are your attacks?"
Hearing this, Kakuzu's blood pressure, which he had just managed to calm, instantly shot up. He saw black before his eyes and almost passed out.
"Phew..."
After great effort, he calmed himself down and began forming hand seals again. "Those were just mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes."
"Next time, I'll definitely show you my power!"
"Lightning Release: False Darkness!"
Without Takumi's top-tier luck interference, Kakuzu's Ninjutsu was finally successfully executed this time.
Even Kakuzu himself was somewhat surprised.
But Takumi's deadly skills weren't just about good luck. In an instant, he activated his Fifty-Fifty Constitution.
His body immediately responded. After quickly forming hand seals, he also returned a Ninjutsu.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique!"
Against Kakuzu, he didn't use his Fire Constitution to enhance lethality.
That would be too bullying.
But the large amount of Chakra he had accumulated still amplified the power of his Ninjutsu.
Boom!
The Ninjutsu collided, creating an explosion.
Fire meets lightning… this is Overload!
Fire Release counters Lightning Release!
"Hmph, petty tricks!"
Seeing his Ninjutsu could be successfully executed, Kakuzu's previous arrogance returned.
His hands rapidly formed seals. The four masks on his back continuously spewed various elemental Ninjutsu.
And Takumi didn't back down either, relying on the Fifty-Fifty Constitution, and reflected them all back.
For a time, the area between them was filled with smoke, and explosions were incessant!
But neither of them sustained any injuries.
"Finally back to normal."
Hidan shrugged. He was sitting nearby, watching the show.
If he got involved in this kind of fight, the aftershocks could render him incapable of fighting.
Of course, killing him would still be rather difficult.
Hidan's immortality was still quite effective.
As for the other spectator, Suzumebachi, she was completely dumbfounded.
"Th-this is Konoha's hero? He actually has such strong strength?!"
"And who is that guy with the weird body? Why is he also so strong?!"
"Why do I feel like a little child? What's wrong with the Shinobi World? The strength gap between Shinobi is this huge?!"
"Am I even really a Shinobi?!"
Suzumebachi's gaze towards Takumi was filled with hope.
At this moment, she deeply realized that Takumi's earlier words weren't boastful but truthful.
'He really had a great possibility of leading the Kamizuru Clan to revival!'
Her hand involuntarily covered her stomach.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt, or rather, she very much hoped, that a tenacious life was conceiving here!
Of course, this was all just Suzumebachi's illusion.
The probability of a one-shot success was too small.
The Ninjutsu bombardment lasted for a long, long time.
Kakuzu stopped, panting heavily. He had consumed a lot of Chakra.
If he continued to consume it, he wouldn't have time to use his trump card.
Takumi, on the other hand, looked at Kakuzu completely at ease.
By now, the Fifty-Fifty time was completely exhausted.
But he wasn't panicked at all.
He still had too many trump cards.
Based on his understanding of Kakuzu, the current Kakuzu had already exerted his full strength. In such a situation, Kakuzu simply couldn't harm him.
"It seems just this indeed can't do anything to you."
Kakuzu let out a long sigh. "But what about this then!"
His back wriggled for a moment, then suddenly sprouted two more masks!
"What?"
Takumi stared in shock at the two masks. "How did two more appear?"
Of course Takumi knew what Kakuzu's Earth Grudge Fear was.
Including the main body, there were only 5 in total.
Corresponding to 5 different elemental Ninjutsu.
These two extra hearts meant Kakuzu had mastered two more elemental Chakra Ninjutsu.
Kakuzu already had hearts for the five basic transformations.
The ones added now definitely weren't any of the five transformations.
"It seems you are also surprised. That puts me at ease."
Kakuzu was very satisfied with the shock on Takumi's face. "It was worth the long journey to obtain these two hearts."
"It really is astonishing."
A trace of a forced smile appeared on Takumi's face, then his expression turned grave.
He hadn't expected that to deal with him, the Akatsuki's members had actually started evolving!
Without knowing the elemental nature of these two new hearts, he didn't want to rashly launch an attack.
"Then let me show you my newly obtained power!"
Kakuzu let out a roar, then the two new mask monsters on his back activated their abilities.
Under magnetic attraction, iron sand emerged from the ground, then under Kakuzu's control, formed extremely sharp iron spikes.
The other mask monster opened its large mouth, spewing out icy white mist, instantly obscuring the vision of everyone present.
"Is this a variant of the Hiding in Mist Technique?"
Takumi's expression was grave. Luckily, he had Observation Haki. Even if he lost his sight, he could still dodge in advance.
Whoosh!
The sound of cutting through air came.
Takumi immediately dodged.
However, Kakuzu's attacks were continuous.
Takumi also continuously dodged.
Suddenly, he noticed something abnormal.
Kakuzu's attacks weren't all aimed at his vitals.
"What is he doing?"
Takumi frowned, not understanding Kakuzu's plan.
When he dodged another attack, his back was blocked by something.
It felt like a slender rope.
"Hmm? What's this?!"
He turned back, surprised to see the slender black rope made of iron sand.
"Noticed it, have you?"
Kakuzu's voice came from outside the white mist. "But it's too late. The cage to hunt you is already prepared."
Takumi's expression changed. He quickly formed hand seals and blew out a strong wind from his mouth. "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
Fierce winds slowly dispersed the white mist.
"This mist... feels heavy?"
Takumi noticed this point.
But his attention was soon attracted by his surroundings.
