Chapter 104 Zero Tail
what is that?
Seeing the green giant, Shennong and his ninjas opened their eyes wide in shock.
Is that also a ninjutsu?
Feeling the cold and uncomfortable chakra filling the surroundings, as well as the powerful mental oppression brought to them by the giants, the ninjas surrounding Luna and his companions became a little panicked and timid for a moment.
This is true!
Seeing that Uchiha boy used Susanoo again, Kakuzu's eyes twitched.
Why does this brat from the Uchiha family always like to use his ultimate ability when fighting?
If the initial attack against him was out of respect for his strength, then what was the point of targeting a group of ninjas who only had some special equipment?
Soon, Kakuzu found out the reason.
The sky was densely packed with devices equipped with strange flying wings, which released kunai launchers and detonating tags from high above.
In addition to ninja tools such as kunai and explosive tags, there are also some wind-style ninjutsu mixed in.
The dense rain of hidden weapons like raindrops all over the sky made Kakuzu change his expression involuntarily. This scale of attack was enough to storm a small ninja village.
Even the ninja villages of the five major countries would suffer heavy losses if caught off guard.
However, faster than the kunai rain were the dense emerald green arrows.
The breastplate on the emerald green giant's chest opened, revealing a round hole. Dense green arrows shot out from the hole, changing direction as the giant moved, expanding its attack range.
The detonating tag tied to the kunai hit the green arrow and was immediately deflected in the sky, exploding into balls of fire in mid-air.
The continuous explosions painted the sky into a spectacular scene like a burning cloud. From time to time, the parts of the flying wings that were shot down and shattered fell from the sky accompanied by flames, human figures and screams.
In just a few breaths, the fan-shaped sky in front of Lu Nie and the others turned into a sea of fire of death.
Shennong's face turned extremely ugly. He almost without hesitation ordered the ninjas around him to attack and stop Lu Nie and the others, while he himself quickly withdrew.
"He's about to run away. Do you want me to chase him?" Kakuzu looked at his prey disappearing quickly and asked Kane sideways.
Several burning balls of fire fell from the sky, and when they were about to hit the ground, they were swept away by a green giant's arm. The strong wind stirred up by the giant arm swung out, making the black robe of the corner man below rustle.
"This should be his secret base. Let's go together." Lu Nie didn't care about Shennong's escape. He had already locked onto the other party's whereabouts. As long as nothing unexpected happened, he wouldn't be able to escape far.
"Is that so?"
As soon as Kakuzu finished speaking, he rushed forward, his hands forming wings behind his back and running forward at high speed. Although he was alone, compared with the dozens or hundreds of ninjas rushing towards him, he seemed more numerous and powerful.
After clearing the sky and sweeping away all the falling objects, the green giant disappeared between heaven and earth, and the Mangekyō Sharingan in Shisui's eye sockets also degenerated into three magatama.
A streak of blood slowly flowed down the corner of his eye, and his eye socket was full of bloodshot. But soon, a certain curse seal on his shoulder began to become more active, releasing a special chakra that flowed through his body. His eyes and body, which were in severe pain due to Susanoo, were immediately soothed and moisturized by a cool feeling, which made Shisui's condition much better.
The kunai fell on Kakuzu's body, making a clanging sound of metal collision. In the moment when the opponent was distracted and terrified, he was hit by Kakuzu's fist and flew backwards without any resistance.
The ninja's physique is not as weak as imagined, especially the ninja who is good at physical skills. The reason why they are killed instantly and make people feel that their attack is high and their defense is low is that they are crushed in most cases.
For example, a man named Jiraiya was able to survive to this day under Tsunade's extraordinary strength. Even if it was because Tsunade had restrained her strength, that was not a force that an ordinary person could withstand.
Kakuzu, who possesses the Kekkei Genkai of Steel Style, is now extremely satisfied with his physical strength. At least ordinary physical attacks cannot break through his defense. If he adds earth style ninjutsu to reinforce his defense, his defense can be further enhanced.
What surprised Kakuzu even more was the toughness and property changes of the Earth Grudge, which also benefited from the increase in Steel Release and Melt Release bloodline limits. After getting familiar with the power in his body, Kakuzu had already begun to build a new combat system.
A dozen ninjas leaped into the air, covering Kakuzu's figure, and stabbed at him with their weapons. But then, their bodies were pierced by dense black thorns and were lifted up in the air.
As the long black thorns slowly shrank, the corpse, which was full of holes, fell to the ground, revealing its horns covered with black thorns like a hedgehog.
The black thorn was taken into Jiaodu's body. He pulled off the tattered black robe and tied it around his waist. The joints of his two arms were pierced by the dense tentacles of the Earth Resentment like buds, and grew and woven together in the air like ropes, finally forming two double-edged axes, one on the left and one on the right.
Under the effect of Steel Release and Melt Release Blood Limit, the double-edged axe that was woven out and wrapped around both hands showed the luster and hardness of steel after hardening, and the cutting edge was as hot as red iron.
The body transformed by the Earth Grudge gave Kakuzu more varied means and abilities. Under his control, the Earth Grudge's tentacles, with the help of Steel Release, gave them toughness and hardness, becoming a versatile killing weapon.
damn it!
Shennong's body moved forward quickly, and the scenery on both sides quickly receded. Faintly, above the vast ocean in front of him, a huge building emerged like the tip of an iceberg in the sea fog.
Sensing that no one was chasing him, Shennong breathed a sigh of relief and quickened his pace as he ran towards the huge building that was looming in the sea fog.
With his feet on the sea water, Shennong was walking quickly on the waves when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a heavy and huge shadow expanding rapidly underwater, as if there was a huge monster below that was about to come out of the water to breathe.
Shennong's perception instantly sounded an alarm. The sudden sense of crisis made him stomp the ground hard without any hesitation, jump high above the water, and fall towards the place beyond the black shadow.
boom!
Water splashed everywhere.
A huge monster poked its head out of the sea, and the waves it created splashed all around. The surrounding sea water began to shake and vibrate violently.
It was a slender monster like a snake, with dark brown scales and a body with distinct segments.
The head was a ferocious mouth filled with sharp teeth like an octopus's mouth. No eyes were visible, but the creature clearly had a unique organ for determining the direction and location of its prey.
Just like now, the head of this monster that stuck out of the sea was ten meters long, aiming at Shennong who had just avoided it. The sharp teeth in its mouth turned like gears, and the stamens bloomed like a flower, and it pounced down at Shennong's position from a high position.
boom!
The water surface exploded with violent waves again, and the surrounding seawater began to vibrate like boiling water.
What kind of monster is this? Shen Nong only felt the tremendous force of the giant beast that passed by him. If possible, he did not want to get entangled with this monster that suddenly appeared, but it was obvious that the other party had already regarded him as a locked prey.
Wow!
A ferocious mouth suddenly rose from just below Shennong, the ferocious mouth opened wide, and the huge and slender body jumped out of the sea for a full twenty or thirty meters high. Then it stopped its rising inertia as if exhausted, and fell back to the sea.
Shennong moved swiftly on the splashing waves. When he approached the monster, the muscles in his right arm suddenly bulged, and then he hit the monster heavily.
Even with that huge body of the monster, it was knocked off balance by Shennong's fist, which was much smaller than its own. Its long and straight body was hit into a U shape.
A shrill cry came from the monster's mouth, and the monster's body rolled over and slammed heavily onto the sea surface. Two ten-meter-high water walls exploded on the water surface on both sides of the body, spraying a cloud of water mist in the air.
All this is enough to show how powerful the punch Shennong threw just now was. It was no less powerful than Tsunade, another medical ninja who was good at supernatural powers.
In terms of understanding and strengthening the human body, Shennong believes that he is no worse than Tsunade, but the two are not on the same path.
But in the end, neither Tsunade nor he is the kind of medical ninja that needs protection as most people think.
To put it simply, they are very good at using their bodies to maximize their body's potential, and it is difficult for them to die.
The punch that Shennong just threw activated the muscles and cells in his arms, and only by combining it with the Eight Gates Ninjutsu he had mastered could he deliver such a blow.
Even if an ordinary ninja's body could release its potential to the extent of his, it would completely lose its combat effectiveness after one blow. But as a medical ninja, he could perfectly avoid these sequelae with the forbidden medical techniques he developed.
However, Shennong, who seemed to have gotten rid of the monster, did not look happy, because several looming figures had slowly walked out from the mist on the sea.
"It looks like there was an accident."
Looking at Shennong, who was wet all over, with chakra flowing rapidly inside his body, and looked like he had just had a fierce fight with an enemy, Jiaodu, with his upper body naked, spoke softly.
A huge black shadow emerged from below and lifted Lu Nie up high in front of Kakuzu's surprised and Shennong's gloomy gaze.
Some buzzing sounds came out from the monster's abdomen and mouth, carrying a sense of grievance that even others could sense.
"Okay, okay." Lu Nie squatted down and comforted the aggrieved Chong Chong. After checking its body, he found that everything was normal.
He may have suffered some loss at the hands of Shennong, but he was not seriously hurt.
Of course, this may also be because the insect's own vitality is too strong and vigorous, and it is difficult to be seriously injured.
At least after so many years of cultivation and modulation, Chongchong's vitality alone has reached a level that even Lu Nie finds difficult to deal with.
"There is a city over there!" Hongdou quickly jumped up along the body of Chongchong that was sticking out of the water, and covered his eyes with his hands, looking at the huge vague black shadow not far away. A small part of it was revealed, which was a giant stone face.
Anchor Bandian!
The location of the former Sky Ninja Village!
It is a huge fortress that can move and float in the sky!
"What should we do? Should we cut off his limbs and slowly force him to reveal information? Or should we just kill him on the spot?" Kakuzu moved a little further away from Chong Chong and looked at Shennong.
For him, the mission is important, because only when the mission is completed can part of the debt he is carrying be reduced.
As for using his own savings to pay off his debts, regardless of whether Kakuzu was willing to accept it or not, Kakuzu was resisting this idea in his heart.
That money is his lifeblood!
Counting money late at night and watching his wealth grow is one of the few pleasures in his now boring and long life.
"I will hand over the body of the Third Raikage to you, and our fight will end here, okay?" Shennong took out a scroll from his body, held it high in his palm, and shouted to Lu Nie.
Since the four people on the opposite side had chased him, it was obvious that the group of air ninjas under his command had been completely wiped out. Shennong was deeply afraid of that Uchiha. Even he felt a palpitation at that giant. If possible, he did not want to continue fighting with Lu Nie and the others.
"Where is Zero Tail and the city behind you?" Lu Nie pointed at the huge building that was gradually emerging from the sea fog.
Shennong's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
Zero Tail and Anker Bandian are the two indispensable foundations for achieving his ambitions. Without either of them, his ambitions will be in vain.
Unless he was at the end of his rope, this was simply unacceptable to him.
"In that case, I will let you witness how terrifying Zero Tail is!"
Shennong didn't want to hand over Lingwei and Anker Bandian together. At least he felt that he had not reached the end of his rope.
The tips of his fingers were torn by his teeth, and bright red blood flowed down his fingers. Shennong quickly made seals with the blood flowing from his fingertips, and slammed his hands on the sea surface beneath his feet.
The runes that spread out like a spider web quickly expanded along the sea surface, and a huge black shadow appeared along with white smoke.
An evil, gloomy, rich and depressing chakra instantly filled the surroundings, making people's hair stand on end.
"Hey, hey, hey! Is this Zero Tail?" Kakuzu, who was standing by, couldn't help but widen his eyes as he looked at the black monster that appeared in front of him.
It was a black monster with a body coiled like a snake, a masked face, and a large "zero" engraved on its forehead. A dark and ominous aura lingered all over its body, and its chakra was filled with cold darkness and despair.
