Buzz, buzz, buzz!
A sharp, piercing sound of air suddenly echoed.
Looking at Kai, who was slowly walking out of the remaining flames, and the Wind Release Rasengan Shuriken in his hand, spinning rapidly like a miniature comet, Kakuzu's face changed dramatically.
"This, what kind of Wind Release ninjutsu is this? It's actually been refined to this level, with shape transformation and attribute transformation."
"I absolutely cannot be hit by this. Otherwise, I'll probably die!"
Chaotic thoughts flashed through Kakuzu's mind.
But as he looked at Kai, a hint of greed flashed in his eyes.
He sensed an unusual purity in that chakra. If he could take his heart, could he learn this powerful ninjutsu?
The greedy thought had just emerged.
The next moment, Kakuzu's pupils constricted.
The ground beneath Kai's feet suddenly cracked and sank like a spiderweb.
Kakuzu only saw a flash of light, and a bolt of lightning was already flying towards him.
When he could see clearly again, the attack was already close at hand.
"Your Rasengan delivery has arrived. Please sign for it," Kai smiled playfully.
The Wind Release Rasengan Shuriken in his hand slammed down towards Kakuzu's chest.
Buzz!
The sharp vibration of the air paused for a moment.
The next moment, it erupted with powerful hurricane force.
The moment the sharp, piercing sound of sonic boom echoed, the air wave that swept out soared into the sky.
Everything within a hundred meters, whether rocks or trees, was instantly shredded.
At this moment, Kakuzu felt as if his entire body was being cut by countless blades.
If it weren't for the Earth Release heart strengthening his body's defenses, ordinary attacks wouldn't be able to penetrate.
He would probably be dead by now.
Now, he just had to abandon one heart to withstand this attack, feign death, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
With this surprise attack, he could kill this strange kid.
However, this thought had just emerged in his mind when the next scene he saw almost made him spit out blood.
Looking at the lightning-filled Rasengan in Kai's hand, his scalp tingled.
One Wind Release Rasengan had already made him question his life, and now another, a Lightning Release Rasengan Shuriken.
His Earth Release body probably wouldn't be able to resist it.
Moreover, now that he was caught in the attack, he couldn't move at all, completely a target.
Facing his feigned death, Kai still wanted to finish him off. This cautiousness and powerful, unexpected tactic made Kakuzu doubt for the first time if his obsession with money was wrong.
"No, don't kill me. Have you forgotten our bet? I can submit to you," Kakuzu hurriedly woke up from his feigned death.
Kai smiled playfully. "Now, I'm the one in control."
"Try some Lightning Release meatballs!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Kai, without pausing, threw the Lightning Release Rasengan Shuriken, which was like a ball of lightning, backhanded.
No!
Kakuzu screamed.
The Lightning Release Rasengan Shuriken collided with the Wind Release.
The lightning, like a raging tide, directly engulfed Kakuzu.
The compressed lightning arcs, like countless tiny needles, pierced through Kakuzu's entire body.
Lightning countered Earth Release, rendering Kakuzu's defenses completely useless.
Boom!
The thunderous explosion lasted for half a minute before dissipating into the air.
Looking at the devastated ruins and the body lying there, riddled with holes and looking like a tattered cloth, Gekko Hayate and Uzuki Yūgao were dumbfounded.
Was this the S-rank rogue ninja who struck fear into the hearts of everyone?
Was this the monster who had massacred all the high-ranking officials of Takigakure?
He had only used two jutsu upon his arrival, and he was directly finished off by Kai's two Rasengans.
This was simply shocking.
"Kid, you, you didn't keep your promise," Kakuzu struggled to raise his head from the ruins.
The four masks behind him had shattered, proving that the two Rasengans had directly taken four of his lives.
Moreover, even the last mask had a crack in it.
If the attack had lasted another seven or eight seconds, Kakuzu would probably have been finished off in the ninja world.
"What's wrong? Still not giving up?" Kai smiled warmly.
Kakuzu's expression froze, then he roared angrily.
"Kid, I'll kill you!"
The soil beneath Kai's feet instantly flipped over, and the hundreds of veins that had transformed from his arms, like countless hands, stabbed directly at Kai.
The attack was close at hand, and it was a massive, overwhelming assault, giving the impression that there was nowhere to hide.
However, Kai seemed completely unfazed, his smile widening.
A blood-red, illusory body instantly enveloped his body.
The hundreds of veins, like rain hitting banana leaves, were directly deflected by the Susanoo.
Looking at this figure that suddenly appeared, looking like a god or demon, Kakuzu's expression froze.
"Oh, right, I still have Water Release, Earth Release, and Fire Release Rasengans. I haven't made them yet. Would you like to try them?" Kai smiled playfully.
If Danzo saw this, his trump card, which he had high hopes for to kill Kai, being toyed with like a baby, he would probably want to die too, just like Kakuzu.
"No, kill me, kill me!" Kakuzu roared ferociously.
"Danzo, I knew you were up to no good."
Uzuki Yūgao and Gekko Hayate were stunned.
They had also guessed that this assassination might be related to Konoha.
But it was also possible that Mist and Cloud, after suffering heavy losses at Kai's hands, had specifically put up a bounty on the black market, hiring Kakuzu to assassinate him.
However, now that Kakuzu had confirmed it, everything was different.
No matter who came from the outside world, they wouldn't be afraid.
But this assassination was from Konoha.
This was a stab in the back.
It was hard not to feel chilled.
"Haha, if you tell everything, you're a good kid, right?" Kai chuckled. "Don't worry, I won't kill you."
"You're a rare strong person. If this ninja world lost you, it would lose a lot of color. And I like your genuine, money-loving nature."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Susanoo that enveloped Kai instantly dissipated.
He seemed completely unconcerned about the hundreds of veins still lurking in the soil, ready to attack.
"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?" Kakuzu couldn't help but ask.
Kai smiled playfully. "Isn't this basic trust? Or, I think you can't kill me."
Kakuzu's expression froze.
If anyone else had said this, he would have definitely disagreed.
But after witnessing Kai's powerful abilities, the mighty S-rank rogue ninja had been defeated by two Rasengans.
It was a complete nightmare.
"I surrender," Kakuzu said after a long silence.
The veins lurking in the soil quickly retracted.
Seeing the mighty S-rank rogue ninja actually surrender, Gekko Hayate and Uzuki Yūgao were stunned.
The difference between assassination and surrender was too great.
