"Grandma Chiyo, are you alright?" Sakura asked gently.
"I'm alright!" Grandma Chiyo's reply was very concise. Right now, her mind was focused on the battle, and she couldn't spare any energy to chat with Sakura.
Right now, Grandma Chiyo didn't care about the casualties, she was determined to kill Kakuzu. The remaining 7 puppets were tightly entangled with the red masked monster, enduring the bombardment of the red masked monster's fire release. Even if all 10 of them were to die, they wouldn't hesitate.
Right now, she had Haku who was a new force to join her, so she didn't have to worry about anything.
The red masked monster roared, and the black tentacles twisted strangely, sticking together one by one, and then, the shape of the monster changed. The black body suddenly changed into Kakuzu's appearance.
"As expected of a guy with 5 hearts, he is really hard to kill!" Haku looked at Kakuzu's transformation and clicked his tongue in admiration.
"Humph!"
Kakuzu snorted coldly. Although the killing intent in his heart was boiling, he was also rather helpless. Right now, the situation was deteriorating too quickly. Three of his hearts were destroyed one after another, and then, Grandma Chiyo successfully used her trump card to destroy his fourth heart …
Today, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to escape this calamity. If the heart that was destroyed wasn't Earth Release Chakra's heart, he might still be able to retreat. But now, it was too late. Fire Release Chakra's heart was left behind.
"It's just death!"
Kakuzu was definitely a ruthless character. He was ruthless to his enemies, and even more ruthless to himself. The Earth's Grudge was a forbidden technique that was definitely not easy to cultivate. The pain of cultivating the Earth's Grudge was definitely not something that could be withstood easily. But Kakuzu was able to withstand it, and furthermore, he became like a ghost. From this, it could be seen how ruthless he was to himself.
He wasn't afraid of death. After living for nearly 100 years, he was able to see through many things. After taking revenge for the betrayal of Takigakure's higher-ups, he didn't know what to do for a period of time. After that, he began to be obsessed with hunting strong experts and collecting money. For example, Orochi Maru liked to do research, Pain wanted to save the world, and so on. The Akatsuki organization really gathered a group of paranoid people.
"Fire Release, Hardworking."
"Fire Release, Fire Dragon Flame Bullet."
"Fire Release, Great Fireball Technique."
… ….
Kakuzu's last heart was squeezing Chakra's life force without holding anything back. Kakuzu's last heart was squeezing Chakra's life force dry. Kakuzu had 5 hearts, so Kakuzu was naturally not afraid of exhausting his life force. However, with only 1 heart left, Kakuzu was really playing with his life force … However, in this kind of situation, what else could he do if he didn't play with his life force?
"Ice Style, Swallow Snow."
The north wind was biting cold, and the snow was like goose feathers. The white wind and snow swirled and surged out. Haku's attack was rather fast. The enhancement brought by the curse seal was in many aspects, not just Chakra's enhancement.
The feather-like snow was melted by the scorching flames, turning into wisps of water vapor before completely evaporating. However, the momentum of the sea of fire also stagnated.
"Ice Escape: Ice Mirror."
Dozens of ice mirrors were formed at the same time. They avoided the sea of fire and scattered around Kakuzu. Only one of them was in front of Bai.
This is the trick he used to deal with the Fourth Mizukage. It's one of the ways to use Ice Domain Mirror. It attacks from all directions without any blind spots. It can be called a besieging trick.
The shurikens flew out from all directions with an overwhelming momentum, causing Kakuzu to frown. He moved quickly and carefully avoided the shurikens. He sighed in his heart. After losing 4 hearts, his combat power was also reduced by half. If he had Earth Release, he wouldn't be afraid of this kind of small trick.
However, no matter how high his taijutsu was, he was only at the level of a Jonin. Facing an attack that had no blind spots, it was impossible for him to avoid all of them. After getting hit by a few shurikens, he finally felt how powerful they were.
These cold shurikens were indeed made of ice. Even with Kakuzu's strange body, it was hard for him to avoid being affected by the cold, and his movements were somewhat stiff.
"Fire Release: Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique."
Kakuzu immediately changed his method. He tried to rush out of the encirclement of the ice mirrors, but Bai was able to form seals with one hand and release Ninjutsu without any gap. He was trapped in the encirclement of ice mirrors, forcing him to change his method.
Fireballs scattered, breaking through the shuriken's torrent and smashing into the ice mirrors, shattering five to six of them. Kakuzu had lived for a long time, and he had honed the properties of his five escape techniques to an extremely high level. The power of his Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique was comparable to a high-level fire escape technique.
"What's the use of this? It's just a futile struggle!" Bai's expression was calm, and there was no trace of emotion in his eyes. He separated his hands and quickly formed seals. This technique of doing two things at the same time was really amazing.
At the very least, Chiyo Popo was stunned. Forget about the Ice Release, the powerful Kekkei Genkai, this is something that cannot be envied. However, forming seals with one hand, this thing is really amazing. This is definitely a genius among geniuses, an ordinary person would probably not be able to do this in their entire life.
Not only was Chiyo Popo stunned, Sakura was also dazzled. Bai's appearance was already heaven-defying, and now that he is forming seals with one hand, it can only be said that he is too cool.
"Ice Release: Eight Directional Pillars."
After exchanging blows with Kakuzu, Bai was able to test out Kakuzu's strength. Kakuzu who could only use fire release was no longer a threat, and there was no need for him to hide anymore.
Eight huge icicles rose from the ground, forming an octagonal trapping formation, with the corners blocked in the middle. Between each icicle, there were ice mirrors scattered. With the ice mirrors as the foundation, ice walls were instantly built. Even the top of the walls was molded with ice caps, completely blocking the entrance.
Kakuzu tried his best to release fire release, but the ice prison was incomparably sturdy, and his flames were unable to burn through the thick ice walls.
"Ice Release: Ice Breaking White Tiger."
Bai's aura was a bit chaotic. Eight Directional Pillars was a technique that he imitated Aoyama's Thousand Year Ice Prison, and although it consumed a lot of Chakra, the might of the technique was also very impressive. After easily sealing Kakuzu, Bai followed up with another killing technique.
Within the ice prison, an ice white tiger climbed down from the wall and roared as it charged towards Kakuzu. This was the power of Eight Directional Pillars, it was able to allow Kakuzu to use other ice release techniques easily. The moment Kakuzu was trapped within the ice prison, he could only receive an endless stream of attacks.
… …
"How is it?" Sakura and Chiyo Popo came over, it seemed that the outcome was already decided.
"It is over …" Bai said. The patterns of the seals retreated, and the huge ice prison collapsed. As for Kakuzu, he was naturally destroyed along with the ice prison.
Finally, Kakuzu was killed. Sakura Popo let out a breath of relief. Akatsuki is too strong, just a single member is already so powerful, just what kind of organization is this?!
"I hope that Kakashi and Chiyo Popo's side will be successful!" After saying this, Bai sat on the ground. His Chakra was depleted, and he temporarily lost the ability to fight.
"Naruto …" Sakura Popo's relaxed expression disappeared and was replaced with a trace of worry. Right now, they need to rest for a while and recover their strength before they can go and support Kakashi and Naruto.
