Chapter 214 Revenge
Chapter 214 Revenge
Boruto stared at Hidan in front of him and said, "Judging from your posture, you were certain I would be here?"
Hidan burst into laughter, his laughter filled with arrogance and confidence: "Hehehe, after all, this is the Land of Fire. As long as I cause a ruckus here, I don't have to worry about you not showing up."
Hidan's face suddenly darkened. He glared at Boruto, his voice filled with resentment and anger: "Next... we'll avenge what happened back then! We'll torture you to death, hehehehe..."
......
At this moment, Kakuzu, whose body was controlled by Shikamaru's Shadow Imitation Technique, began to move forward stiffly.
This forceful movement forced Shikamaru to follow his lead, staggering forward a few steps as well.
Shikamaru clenched his hands tightly together, focusing intently on maintaining the effect of the Shadow Binding Technique. His body began to lean back, using his own strength to restrain Kakuzu's movements.
Shikamaru frowned, gritted his teeth, and forced out the words through clenched teeth, his voice filled with undisguised surprise: "What kind of monstrous strength does this guy have, you bastard!"
Under the cover of the big tree, Asuma found Jiraiya's body. He half-squatted beside Jiraiya, staring at his former comrade-in-arms with eyes full of anger.
Asuma gently touched Jiraiya's shoulder, but all he felt was coldness and the passing of life.
"Dilu, don't worry, I won't let you die in vain," Asuma said in a low voice to Dilu's body.
Kakuzu's deep voice demanded of Asuma, "What are you planning to do with my precious bounty?"
Immediately afterwards, a huge fist detached from Kakuzu's arm and slammed down with tremendous force toward Asuma's location.
Asuma reacted immediately, tightly embracing Jiraiya's corpse and rolling away to avoid Kakuzu's fatal blow.
Kakuzu's fist slammed directly into the large tree they had been standing on. The immense impact was like an explosion, causing the tree to shatter instantly. Wood chips and dust were swept up by a whirlwind and scattered in all directions.
After destroying the large tree, Kakuzu's fist did not slow its momentum; instead, it circled around and continued to attack the corpses of Asuma and Jiraiya.
Asuma's movements were somewhat restricted due to carrying Jiraiya's corpse, making him less agile than usual.
Boruto suddenly appeared between Asuma and Kakuzu, grabbed the ligament connecting Kakuzu's fist, and crushed it with a forceful squeeze.
When Kakuzu's fist lost control due to the crushing of his meridians and crashed heavily to the ground, a large number of threads suddenly surged up from the ground, wrapped around the fist tightly, and then dragged it into the ground and disappeared.
Pulled by these threads, the fist that Boruto had crushed and detached returned to Kakuzu's arm.
Kakuzu twisted his newly reconnected fist, loosening his joints, his gaze fixed on Boruto: "After all these years, you've become much stronger than before." He paused, a cold smile playing on his lips, and continued, "However, we haven't let our guard down either."
As soon as Kakuzu finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed his own collar, ripped off his Akatsuki robe, and threw it into the air.
As the dawn robe fluttered down, Kakuzu's body, covered in stitches, was laid bare in the air, appearing terrifyingly grotesque in the sunlight.
Shikamaru's eyes were fixed on Kakuzu's body covered in stitches, especially the four masks on his back. He couldn't help but think to himself, "Are those four masks on his back the shadowy monsters that represent his various attributes? What a troublesome guy."
Kakuzu quickly formed several hand seals, and as he moved, the Water Release mask behind him began to tremble violently. Then, a huge black creature slowly emerged from behind Kakuzu and stood tall.
"Water Release: Water Curtain!"
Under Kakuzu's command, a powerful energy condensed in the mouth of the Earth Grudge Fear Water Release Masked Monster. Then, it opened its huge mouth and spewed out a surging water cannon, which violently impacted Boruto.
Just as the water cannon was about to hit Boruto, the air around him suddenly surged spontaneously, forming two powerful wind walls. When the water cannon violently struck the wind walls, it was as if guided by an invisible hand, the water flow parted on both sides of the wind walls, failing to touch Boruto at all. Boruto then used this wind wall to fight against the impact of the water flow, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Kakuzu.
Kakuzu was filled with surprise and doubt upon seeing this. He immediately clasped his hands together, and as the spell was activated, his skin began to harden, turning an extremely dark color.
Boruto reached out a hand towards Kakuzu, directly breaking through the hard outer shell of Kakuzu's earth spear defense and piercing through Kakuzu's chest.
Kakuzu never expected that his Earth Release defense, which he had always been so proud of, would be so vulnerable in front of Boruto. He couldn't even maintain a moment's resistance before it was easily broken through.
The moment Boruto pierced his chest, Kakuzu immediately realized that he was in grave danger and tried to control his heart to move, but it was too late. Boruto had already grabbed his Water Release Masked Monster's heart.
Seeing this, as Boruto crushed Kakuzu's heart, a large number of meridians in his body responded rapidly, moving towards that location. These meridians acted like strong ropes, binding Boruto's hand within his body.
Kakuzu's voice echoed across the battlefield as he shouted towards Hidan's direction, "Hidan! Make your move now!"
Hidan swiftly responded to Kakuzu's call, his figure flashing across the battlefield, appearing behind Boruto in the blink of an eye. He swung his Bloodstained Three-Moon Scythe, aiming a vicious chop at Boruto's head. A ferocious smile appeared on Hidan's face, his eyes flashing with madness as he roared, "Die! Bastard!"
Shikamaru witnessed Boruto's predicament of being restrained by Kakuzu, and his heart filled with anxiety. He used his Shadow Imitation Technique to move quickly across the ground, racing against time. At this moment, Shikamaru had only one strong thought in his mind: Faster! Faster! I have to catch up!
Despite Shikamaru's best efforts, he was a step too slow and failed to restrain Hidan's movements in time. Immediately afterward, the sound of a sharp weapon slicing through flesh rang out, accompanied by splattering blood, and the air was filled with the stench of blood.
“...You bastard!” Hidan cursed through gritted teeth.
In that instant, Boruto drew his sword from his waist with his left hand, the blade precisely wedged between Hidan's Bloody Three-Moon Scythe, while the tip of the sword pierced through Hidan's body.
This happened so fast that Hidan didn't even have time to react. The tip of the sword protruded from his back, and blood dripped down the blade. Hidan's expression changed from ecstasy to astonishment.
