Its surface was covered with fine cracks, like those on broken pottery, and wisps of dust were slowly seeping out from the cracks.
They were summoned back from the underworld in an immortal form!
Kakuzu's icy green eyes instantly locked onto Naruto, and an overwhelming surge of resentment and killing intent erupted as if it were tangible: "Kid... Heh heh! I never expected... it would be you!!"
Back in the Land of Waves, they originally only accepted Gato's invitation to deal with Zabuza.
Unfortunately, he encountered this Jinchūriki.
Not only that, this brat also has Uchiha Madara and Namikaze Minato inside him.
Therefore, they were quickly killed by the enemy at that time, but now they have been resurrected and he wants revenge!
Hidan let out an even more maniacal laugh as he brandished the Bloodstained Three-Month Scythe.
He licked his lips excitedly: "Hahaha! This time! This time I'm truly immortal! The evil god has indeed favored me! I can finally enjoy the thrill of battle to my heart's content! Pain! Blood! Sacrifice! Hahaha!"
The way he looked at Naruto and Sasuke was like looking at lambs to the slaughter.
Naruto gripped the kunai tightly in his backhand, his eyes sharp as knives, and the Nine-Tails' chakra within him began to subtly boil.
He turned to Kakashi and Chiyo and said quickly, "Kakashi-sensei! Chiyo-baba! You two go first! Keep chasing Gaara! These two... leave them to Sasuke and me!"
Sasuke didn't speak, but with a "clang," the Kusanagi sword was drawn, its cold light gleaming!
In his crimson Sharingan, the three tomoe slowly rotated, their chilling killing intent locking onto Kakuzu and Hidan.
Granny Chiyo looked at the two reanimated enemies before her, who exuded a terrifying aura and were clearly more troublesome than when they were alive.
Then look at the two Konoha Chunin who are clearly still accompanied by young men.
His face showed deep worry: "Hey! Kids! Don't be reckless! These two are official members of Akatsuki! And now..."
"Trust us, Grandma!"
Naruto abruptly interrupted Chiyo, staring intently at her, his voice resolute, filled with unwavering confidence and determination!
The way she called out "Grandma" was so natural, as if she had already accepted it.
Granny Chiyo was startled as she looked into Naruto's eyes, which remained bright and clear blue even amidst the sandstorm, filled with unwavering conviction.
Then he glanced at the Uchiha boy beside him, whose calm and composed demeanor suggested he was ready to strike.
She remembered Kakashi's words, "Belief needs no reason," and Kankuro's deep kneeling, disregarding his dignity...
Finally, Chiyo gritted her teeth, a resolute glint in her cloudy old eyes: "Fine! Then I'll leave it to you! Don't die, brat!"
Without further hesitation, she shouted at Kakashi, "Kakashi! Let's go!"
Kakashi gave his two students a deep look, his exposed eye curving slightly as if to say, "Go for it."
Without the slightest hesitation, his figure instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning, and together with Chiyo, they bypassed Kakuzu and Hidan, speeding towards the cave!
"Want to leave?!"
Kakuzu snorted coldly, and his body instantly split into four black tentacle monsters wearing different masks—Earth Grudge Fear!
"Your opponent... is us!"
Naruto's roar was like a thunderclap! Blue chakra erupted instantly.
Naruto's figure transformed into a golden afterimage, charging fiercely towards Kakuzu with a violent aura!
Sasuke's figure also disappeared at the same time!
Only a blinding afterimage of lightning remained in the spot!
The Kusanagi sword, wreathed in the piercing cry of a thousand birds, gleamed like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, aiming straight for Hidan's throat as he continued to laugh wildly!
The war broke out in an instant!
Chapter 260 Eternal Pain
Above the scorching yellow sand, violent energy surges tore through the air, whipping up clouds of dust.
Naruto and Sasuke, the twin stars of Konoha, are currently facing powerful enemies from the Netherworld!
"Fire Escape·Tou Ke Ku!"
"Wind Escape·Press!"
"Thunder Escape·Pseudo Darkness!"
Kakuzu's body, wrapped in stitches, was like a mobile ninjutsu turret, effortlessly wielding advanced ninjutsu of all five elements without any gaps!
Scorching waves of fire, storms that cut through everything, and raging lightning spears poured down on Naruto like a torrential downpour!
The almost inexhaustible chakra and immortality brought by the Impure World Reincarnation allowed him to unleash his full power!
Naruto was like a fish swimming through turbulent waves.
With his exceptional sensory abilities and the extreme reaction speed honed by Madara's training, he dodged and weaved through a barrage of ninjutsu, facing immense danger.
His orange training uniform was torn by the wind blades, and his skin was scorched red by the heatwave.
His golden hair was covered in sand and dust, making him look extremely disheveled.
Every dodge was fraught with danger, those five hearts pulsating within Kakuzu's body, each radiating a different elemental chakra.
It became the deadliest threat on the battlefield.
"This is really troublesome! When I watched Dad play it, it seemed quite simple."
Naruto gritted his teeth and rolled awkwardly to avoid the exploding lightning, the flying pebbles scraping his cheek.
Kakuzu's reanimated body not only restored his five hearts, but also made his combat experience and ninjutsu combinations more sophisticated and cunning!
"Water Escape·Water Curtain!"
Kakuzu formed hand seals, and a massive wall of water appeared out of thin air, blocking Naruto's path as he tried to approach.
His bulging green eyes were fixed on Naruto, his voice cold and venomous: "Kid! All you can do is run away like a rat?"
"Bring out Madara Uchiha! I want to tear him to pieces with my own hands! To avenge the humiliation I suffered back then!"
The humiliation of the Land of Waves being defeated by Madara as easily as swatting a fly gnawed at his soul like a venomous snake.
"You want Dad to come out?"
Naruto steadied himself, wiped the blood from his face, and a mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"With your current inhuman, ghost-like appearance? Uncle Kakuzu, save your breath! You're simply not qualified!"
"Bastard thing!!"
Naruto's words struck Kakuzu's deepest sore spot!
He painstakingly accumulated wealth in pursuit of immortality, only to end up being controlled by the Impure World Reincarnation, which was a greater insult to him than death!
"Then I'll kill you first! I'll use your blood to quell my rage! Earth Release: Earth Spear!"
Kakuzu's arm instantly covered the hard rock, and he slammed down on Naruto like a battering ram!
At the same time, the Earth Grudge Masked Monster behind him opened its mouth again, preparing for another volley of ninjutsu! The firepower instantly increased to its maximum!
On the other side, there is a completely different fighting style.
"Hahaha! Pain! Even more pain! The evil god granted me immortality so that I could suffer this eternal agony of sacrifice!!"
Hidan brandished his massive, blood-red crescent scythe, letting out a maniacal laugh.
Completely disregarding defense, trading injury for injury, risking one's life for another!
His cracked, impure body left afterimages as he swung his scythe.
Each slash was accompanied by a piercing shriek as it tore through the air, attempting to capture Sasuke's figure and obtain his deadly blood!
However, Sasuke had already seen through his abilities.
The moment Naruto reminded him, Sasuke's strategy was already decided!
"Chidori-ryu!"
Amidst a piercing screech, a violent blue lightning bolt instantly enveloped Sasuke's entire body!
His speed exploded under the stimulation of the Lightning Release chakra!
He transformed into a blue lightning bolt that was difficult to see with the naked eye!
Swish!Swish!Swish!Swish!
Hidan's seemingly insane attacks were like clumsy slow motion in front of Sasuke, who had activated his Sharingan and whose speed had increased dramatically!
The crimson Sharingan accurately predicted the trajectory of the scythe.
Sasuke moved nimbly through the flashing swords, his Kusanagi sword transforming into streaks of cold light!
laugh! laugh! laugh! laugh!
The sound of blades piercing flesh rang out repeatedly!
Hidan's body was slashed dozens of times by the Kusanagi sword in an instant!
Arms, thighs, torso... instantly covered with crisscrossing slashes!
Dust from the impure body gushed out of the wound!
"Ugh! Hahaha! That felt so good! So good!!"
Hidan felt the "pain" of his body being cut.
Instead of being afraid, they laughed wildly with even greater excitement, as if they were enjoying a grand feast!
The immortality granted by the Impure World Reincarnation allowed him to ignore the damage from this physical cutting.
"Hmph, madman!"
Sasuke's eyes were cold as he seized upon a tiny opening Hidan made during his maniacal laughter.
The instant the opponent's scythe missed again, he stomped hard on the scythe's handle!
The immense force pressed the heavy scythe firmly into the sand!
Hidan was stunned and tried to pull back his weapon, but Sasuke's feet were rooted to the spot and wouldn't budge!
"what?!"
