Kitazawa withdrew the Wood Release: Great Forest Technique.
Kakuzu's eight giant lines lost their target, causing him to lose his balance and lean forward.
Just then, Kitazawa rose from its original position.
The vine grew rapidly, lifting him into the air.
Even the corner of his eye couldn't help but tremble.
A wooden dragon over fifty meters long appeared before him.
With a flick of its body, the wooden dragon unleashed its massive tail at him.
In an instant, space distorted, and a suffocating pressure swept over us.
Earth Grudge Fear: Final Shot!
Kakuzu raised his right arm without hesitation.
The three masks—Wind, Fire, and Lightning—simultaneously unleashed chakra.
The chakra cannon rammed into the wooden dragon and immediately exploded in front of Kakuzu.
A gust of wind was formed, and waves of chakra spread in all directions, causing leaves to flutter and half the sky to seem to be illuminated.
Kakuzu retreated while keeping an eye on the epicenter of the explosion.
Suddenly, countless branches flew out from all around him, trying to bind him.
Kakuzu, with his attention highly focused, immediately leaped up.
But as soon as he reached mid-air, the wooden dragon's tail wrapped around him.
"what?"
Kakuzu's expression suddenly changed drastically.
He reacted quickly, and a large number of black tentacles surged from his body, heading towards the wooden dragon.
But it was no use; the wooden dragon had completely entangled him.
Just as Kakuzu was about to form hand seals, he suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of weakness within his body.
His chakra was mostly absorbed by the Wood Dragon in an instant.
Kakuzu immediately looked horrified.
He suddenly realized a problem.
If Kitazawa had used Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique from the beginning, would he have been instantly killed?
Because his strongest attack, Earth Grudge Fear: Final Shot, cannot cause any damage to the Wood Dragon.
I surrender!
Kakuzu noticed the increasingly terrifying feeling of being bound by the wooden dragon and quickly shouted.
He was terrified that if he was even a second slower, he would be crushed into a pulp.
Mu Long immediately released him.
Kakuzu landed on the ground, panting heavily.
He already has less than 10% of his chakra left; if he slows down any further, it will be completely drained.
You should know that he has five hearts, and each heart can provide him with chakra.
In other words, he possesses the chakra of five people.
But against the wooden dragon, it couldn't even last five seconds.
Jiaodu couldn't help but fall silent.
Since his defeat to Hashirama Senju, he has worked hard to improve his strength and obtained the Earth Grudge Fear, which has led to a rapid increase in his power.
But when he encountered Wood Release again, it was still useless. He was defeated at lightning speed, and the difference in strength was simply beyond his imagination.
Moreover, Kitazawa used only Wood Release from beginning to end.
Before his Wood Release was revealed, he was known throughout the ninja world for his Water Release and medical ninjutsu.
In other words, he doesn't feel any pressure and doesn't need to use any other ninjutsu besides Wood Release.
Indeed, that is the case.
Kakuzu sighed as he thought of this.
He probably won't be able to defeat Wood Release in his lifetime.
Xiao Nan maintained her aloof expression throughout the entire event.
Because she had already guessed the outcome.
Kakuzu is strong, but not much stronger than Moryo, and even less so in terms of chakra.
Losing is to be expected and nothing to be surprised about.
[Current Mission: Defeat Kakuzu using Wood Release as a challenge.]
[Mission Reward: Wind Release: Rasenshuriken]
[The host has completed the mission; reward issued.]
Kitazawa stood still, processing the large amount of information that had suddenly appeared in his mind.
In the original work, there are many types of Rasengan.
However, in the official setting, there are only three forms: Rasengan, Giant Rasengan, and Rasenshuriken.
Other Rasengans are basically variations of these three forms.
Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, on the surface it looks like a Rasenshuriken, but in reality it is made up of countless tiny chakra blades.
Its attack effect is similar to that of a toxin, directly targeting the target's cells.
Simply put, it's an attack at the microscopic level.
Once hit, the target will die, and there is basically no chance of saving them.
However, precisely because of this, the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken cannot be released from the hand before hitting its target, and will injure the user.
Kitazawa stroked his chin.
He felt that he might be able to withstand the side effects of Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.
Because he possesses Yin Seal, No Seal Healing, Thousand Hands Chakra Mode, and Yang Release Chakra Mode.
However, being able to endure it doesn't mean it won't hurt.
Kitazawa has no need to harm himself.
Although Wind Release: Rasenshuriken is very powerful, Wood Release: Advent of a World of Trees and Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique are not inferior.
"Thank you for your guidance."
Kakuzu walked up to Kitazawa and said earnestly, "Let's spar again when we have the chance."
"There will be a chance."
Kitazawa said calmly, "This time it was just a friendly sparring session because of Konan, but next time it might be different."
If Kakuzu had remained with Akatsuki, he would inevitably have one day become an enemy of Konoha.
They will face off again then.
Kakuzu was startled and said nothing more, because Kitazawa was telling the truth.
He picked up the black robe from the ground and turned to leave.
Xiao Nan subconsciously bit her lip.
She guessed right.
Kitazawa agreed to spar with Kakuzu precisely because of her.
It seems I owe him a favor again.
"It's time to go back, Xiao Nan."
Kitazawa withdrew Wood Release: Advent of a World of Trees and Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique, and said.
Xiao Nan snapped out of her daze, walked up to him, and hugged him.
White wings unfurled behind her, and the two flew towards Konoha Village.
Chapter 358 Taking a Step Closer to Tsunade, Akatsuki Faces a Shortage of Members
Konoha Village's Forest of Death.
Xiao Nan descended from mid-air.
Although they could fly directly back to the Anbu base, such an act would be far too conspicuous, and half of the ninja in Konoha would find out.
Konan released Kitazawa and was about to take a step back when she was pulled back.
Are you wearing perfume?
Kitazawa lowered his head, sniffed at her neck, and asked.
"No."
Xiao Nan spoke with a normal expression.
"It smells nice."
Kitazawa chuckled and released Konan.
"If you like..."
Xiao Nan stopped halfway through her sentence, realizing that her statement was too ambiguous.
Why did you suddenly stop talking?
Kitazawa looked at her beautiful and delicate face and asked.
"I'm going back to the Akatsuki organization today."
Konan changed the subject, saying, "The quest for Hozuki Gengetsu should have been completed."
"Go early and return early."
Kitazawa nodded and said.
"Ah."
Xiao Nan responded and then disappeared from the spot.
Kitazawa returned to Konoha Village and, after a moment's thought, went to the Hokage's office.
He pushed open the door but didn't see Tsunade immediately.
Kitazawa turned to look at the sofa and saw her lying there without any regard for her image.
It was an unsurprising result, but it was still better than her going directly to the casino.
"It's only morning, why do you look so tired?"
Kitazawa closed the door and walked up to her.
Looking down from above, you can clearly see the clothes tilted.
Why can't I be tired in the morning?
Tsunade asked casually with her eyes closed.
"Are you planning to rest up in the morning and go to the casino in the afternoon?"
Kitazawa squatted down and once again understood what it meant to be at the highest level while lying down.
Is this how you see me?
Upon hearing the word "casino," Tsunade immediately opened her eyes and turned to look at him.
As she moved, her clothes bunched up, the neckline opened wide, revealing her snow-white skin and the necklace that was half-buried.
