Naruto: I, who fooled the ninja world, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 89 Defilement and Sanctity

The things at the top of the ten giant tails of the stone statue were like a fuse that ignited desire, instantly breaking the deathly silence in the underground palace.

"Do it!"

Someone let out a low shout, and the oppressive atmosphere shattered instantly.

Several figures shot upwards like arrows released from a bow, stepping on the giant stone statues and bursting toward their respective targets!

Besides some well-known powerful figures, there were also some Cloud Village and Konoha ninjas who had managed to get in by chance, as well as a few bounty hunters whose backgrounds were still unknown.

It's absolutely impossible to divide it equally; the only option is for everyone to fight and rob each other based on their own abilities!

The once desolate underground palace has been transformed into an arena of desire and slaughter once again by the appearance of this stone statue and ten treasures.

"puff!"

"Ugh!"

Several shrill screams rang out almost simultaneously.

Long Zhe's body suddenly burst forth with astonishing speed, the black short spear in his hand whistling as it tore through the air, and he grinned as he drew a deadly arc in front of him.

The Cloud Village ninja who was rushing ahead turned around in a panic, raising his kunai but not having enough time to completely block.

The immense force sent him flying backward, weapon and all, with a large spray of blood gushing from his lacerated chest.

"Hahahaha! Die! Die! Die!!"

Long Zhe, this madman, seemed completely unconcerned about what was at the tip of the tail he had chosen. He directly selected the giant tail with the most people and frantically swung his short spear, ignoring the blood still dripping from his chest.

Those scarlet eyes, like those of a demon from hell, lunged at another Konoha ninja in front of them. The terrifying attitude of being fearless and even enjoying the pain made the people in front of them tremble with fear!

Unlike Ryutsu, Kakuzu's gaze was precise and greedy. He chose the tallest tail in the middle without hesitation, believing that the highest thing was naturally the most precious.

"But why is that thing called 'Nameless'?"

Recalling the name he had just seen below, Kakuzu felt a slight sense of doubt, but he quickly shook it off.

boom!boom!
The black-threaded arm grabbed two figures moving at similar speeds on either side, and without even looking, it swung the two men around forcefully, slamming them to the ground like broken sacks.

At this moment, only two figures remained in front of Kakuzu.

And he happened to know all of these things.

The first one is, of course, Yugito Nii, the Jinchuriki of the Two-Tails from Kumogakure. At this moment, she is on all fours, leaping upwards as nimbly as a cat.

As for the other one...

"Kakashi Hatake?"

Kakuzu's eyes narrowed slightly as he watched that equally swift figure.

What was Kakashi Hatake's bounty again?

The bounty photos on the black market scrolled like slot machines in a casino, and he quickly found the corresponding price and number of heads in his mind.

Tsk, what a pity, it's just a Sharingan, worthless. It would be better if it were a Byakugan.

It seems there's a kid from the Hyuga clan, but he's probably a poor soul from a branch family, and his price isn't even as high as Kakashi Hatake's.

Thinking of this, Kakuzu looked at the Hyuga kid dressed in white on the tail next to him.

But then they saw that his body was surrounded by snake-like arcs of electricity, and his speed was even faster than that of Kakashi Hatake and Yugito Nii, which surprised them.

"Isn't that guy from the Hyuga clan? What's with that lightning release ninjutsu?"

Those who chose the same tail as Hinata Kumokawa were also dumbfounded.

When I saw the white in his eyes, I instinctively kept my distance from him, and then I saw that guy rushing over with sparks and lightning.

Anyone who ran in front of him or tried to stop him was paralyzed by the electric arcs surrounding him, and he was about to reach the top of the tail.

Kakuzu pondered briefly, but ultimately decided it was worthless and a loss, so he turned his gaze to Yugito, who was running ahead.

The next moment, his wrist joint cracked open, and dense black lines shot out like venomous snakes emerging from their holes, directly attacking Yugito's legs.

"Is this guy trying to pull the same trick again?"

The two Yugito, who were already on guard, snorted and easily avoided the black lines by moving as nimbly as cats.

But when she turned around to continue rushing to the top, she was shocked to find that the black lines that had swept past her showed no sign of retracting. Instead, they accelerated like snakes and stabbed straight towards the top.

Then, it pierced directly into the ball of light, effortlessly retrieved an object from it, and quickly recovered it.

"Kakuzu!!"

Upon seeing this, the two Yugitos' pupils shrank at first, and then, like cats with their fur standing on end, their anger, along with the Two-Tails' chakra, erupted!

The ten fingers transformed into sharp claws, slashing at the rapidly retracting black lines.

Seeing this, Kakashi didn't hesitate either. His Sharingan spun rapidly, seizing an opening, and he slashed straight at the black line with the Chidori Cry!

clap clap!

Several black lines snapped under the combined attack of the two, dancing in the air like severed venomous snakes, but many more lines managed to withstand the attack thanks to their resilience and flexibility.

The two wanted to continue attacking the black lines, but at this moment, Kakuzu's body had already arched slightly.

puff!

Amidst a teeth-grinding tearing sound, countless black threads, like living tentacles, were awakened, writhing and burrowing through his skin from behind.

The black threads flew everywhere like a surging black tide, and a white masked monster with blue stripes painted on its mouth appeared on its left shoulder, undoubtedly representing the heart of wind-attribute chakra.

"Wind Escape·Press!"

The Wind Release masked monster opened its mouth wide, and wind-style chakra condensed within it, compressed into high pressure, and released.

hum! !

Like a howl emanating from the masked monster's mouth, the hurricane, after a violent contraction and burst, transformed into a noose that hurtled towards Yugito and Kakashi in the distance.

A hurricane shaped like a meat grinder swept a bounty hunter into it, and before he could even make a sound, his flesh was sliced ​​off and he turned into a bloody mist.

Yugito and Kakashi's expressions changed drastically, but they had no choice but to dodge the attack and watch helplessly as the black threads wrapped around the stolen items and took them back.

"Hmph, two naive brats."

Kakuzu's deep, hoarse voice came from under his mask, mocking, "Run fast? What's the use of running fast? This isn't a race. Don't you know how to use your brain?"

Upon hearing this, Yugito and Kakashi exchanged a glance and reached a brief consensus: they would cooperate to take action against Kakuzu.

However, Kakuzu's surprised and even slightly annoyed voice came first.

"What the hell is this?"

Kakashi and the other person looked over instinctively, and their expressions became strange.

Kakuzu was holding a sword that looked quite wretched; thick rust covered at least 90% of its surface, forming large, ugly, mottled dark brown patches.

Beneath the rust layer are dense, spiderweb-like cracks covering the sword's blade. Some cracks are so deep that the dark, deep spine of the sword can be seen inside. Even the cloth strips wrapped around the hilt have long since rotted into mud.

This is clearly a piece of scrap metal that could shatter at any moment.

It looks like a product of someone's failed forging, which was carelessly discarded in some corner and rusted to this state.

Kakuzu even tried to inject chakra to see if it was forged from chakra metal, but all he heard was a crisp cracking sound from the sword.

The crack on the sword seemed to have widened a little more...

"Hahahaha!"

Seeing this, Yugito couldn't help but burst into laughter, clutching his stomach, and sneered, "I don't know if running fast is useful, but is this what you went to such lengths to steal?"

"Don't worry, you can have that trash. Nobody's going to fight you for it!"

After uttering those playful words, Yugito's figure shot out like lightning, suddenly lunging towards the giant tail beside him, while Kakashi chose a different direction.

"Damn it! Why is there such worthless trash here, and placed so high up?!"

Kakuzu's face darkened completely. He angrily threw down the broken metal in his hand, looked up at the two Yugitos, and suddenly flung out the black thread connecting their arms.

However, repeating the trick a second time won't work.

"roll!"

With a wild roar, a tail like a blue flame appeared behind Yugito, directly swatting away the black lines that Kakuzu had shot at him.

Then, its already agile speed surged again, tearing apart several figures blocking its path with its claws before lunging forcefully towards the ball of light at the top.

The moment she grasped one of the items, a name flashed into her mind, and her narrowed cat-like eyes widened instantly.

—The God-Slaying Whip.

Kakuzu's fierce gaze locked onto Yugito's figure, while the black tentacles surging wildly behind him churned violently.

A masked monster resembling a bull demon emerged, its empty mouth suddenly blazing with blinding lightning. Lightning Release: False Darkness!

Squeak!

A spear made of pure lightning, accompanied by a terrifying shriek that tore through the air and a blinding flash of light, burst forth from the mouth of the lightning-masked monster!

Lightning Release: False Darkness is faster than anyone could imagine, and its power is enough to pierce through thick mountain rocks, ionizing the air in its path and giving off a burnt smell.

However, Yugito didn't even look at the attack. He grabbed the object in the ball of light, pulled it out, and then flung it out violently.

Buzz! !
Kakuzu only felt a blur before his eyes, a blue afterimage flashed by, a sharp whistling sound pierced the air, followed by a thunderous explosion.

The two Yugitos seemed to have unleashed a bolt of lightning with their bare hands, actually shattering the Lightning Release: False Darkness spear, scattering it into a sky full of violent arcs of lightning that raged and splashed everywhere.

"……what?"

Seeing this, Kakuzu's eyes showed a hint of surprise and confusion, until he saw what the two Yugito held.

It was a long whip.

The whip is not a soft whip, but is made up of tightly fitted, angular golden diamond-shaped blocks strung together, gradually tapering towards the end from a handle about two fingers wide.

Under the infusion of the Wood Golem's Lightning Release chakra, tiny purple arcs of lightning flowed between the joints, continuously emitting a low and sharp whistling sound.

"Yunshiki, is this the person who personally forged this ninja tool?"

As Yukito explored the memories in his mind, his body trembled slightly.

In the remaining fragments, this ninja tool in the hands of that figure could even unleash a bolt of lightning and shatter a mountain with a casual wave.

Although the naming style is similar to those Six Paths Ninja Tools, this "God-Slaying Whip" is clearly more inclined towards killing and aggression.

She wasn't particularly skilled in the nature transformation of Lightning Release chakra, but the effect was still astonishing with the help of this ninja tool.

And that's not all...

The two Yugito looked at Kakuzu in the distance and grinned, saying, "It's my turn!"

Snapped! !

As the wooden figure lashed out with the whip, the tip of the whip tore through the air with a piercing whistle like thunder, and the whip's shadow extended like tangible lightning.

Kakuzu's heart skipped a beat. Before he could form any hand seals, dozens or even hundreds of black lines, like venomous pythons, shot out, tearing through the air and emitting a piercing shriek.

However, the result of those black lines and whips was that they melted away inch by inch, like ice and snow under the scorching sun, failing to demonstrate their strength and change.

The next moment, it directly entangled the bundle of black threads, and when he felt his chakra suddenly blocked, Kakuzu's previously calm expression changed.

"Sealing technique?!"

As he realized the power of the whip, the wooden figure's arm jerked and pulled hard.

The black thread wrapped around the whip was instantly pulled by a tremendous force, and Kakuzu's body was forcibly dragged away from the stone statue!
Bang! !

Just like those he had previously flung away, Kakuzu was slammed hard onto the ground in a miserable state, writhing in excruciating pain.

"Cough! I'm going to kill you!"

Kakuzu couldn't help but grunt, and stood up angrily, about to charge at Yugito again.

But then, a maniacal, unrestrained laugh reached my ears.

"Hahaha! Is this the gift from the Evil God? I love it!"

Long Zhe held a scythe made of chakra metal that emitted a black and red light in his hand. With a backhand slash, he cut the Cloud Village ninja behind him who was trying to form hand seals in half!
Not only Ryuche, but a Cloud Village Jonin also snatched the arm-shaped chakra weapon, and three well-coordinated "Hannya Clan" wearing Hannya masks snatched the chakra blade.

Another man, dressed in a black robe to conceal his appearance, obtained a bow forged from chakra metal.

Even the broken sword that Kakuzu had discarded was picked up casually by a Konoha ninja.

"Damn it!"

At that moment, Kakuzu suddenly realized that he had gained nothing but himself, and all eight orbs of light were about to be taken, with only one remaining.

And the last one wasn't without its competitors, but no one was able to pick it up at all.

Because it's just too heavy!
Many people are cursing, because the thing is right in front of them, but they can't pick it up.

Kakashi Hatake fought his way through the people blocking his way, but his chakra was so depleted that he was panting heavily and unable to fight any longer. Finally, he managed to take out the contents of the orb of light.

The black wooden box was also quite heavy.

But there was no time to see what was inside. Kakashi Hatake looked at the remaining surviving Konoha ninja and shouted, "Go! Don't linger!"

"Got it!"

"leave here!"

"Cover Yukito!"

Not only him, but everyone else who got their hands on the items also rushed towards the entrance, which was also the exit, without hesitation.

Kakuzu was extremely frustrated at this moment, but he had no choice but to choose the light orb that no one wanted.

With his arms covered in the black, hard armor of "Earth Release: Earth Spear," and simultaneously manipulating hundreds of black lines to wrap around and envelop him like a spider web, he barely managed to slowly pull a one-handed axe out of the ball of light!

"The Kusanagi Sword?" Kakuzu looked at the one-handed axe in front of him. "You call this a 'sword'?"

The thought that he had received either junk or something too heavy for a human to use, coupled with the sight of others leaving laden with their loot, made Kakuzu's face turn ashen.

That’s all money!

Any chakra blade is priceless and unavailable on the black market!

"Leave me alone!"

Countless black lines of earth-wrenching evil energy surged from his body, twisting into thick tentacles that slammed down on the people.

At times like these, the ninja tools they each acquired immediately come in handy.

Lightning, flashing blades, maniacal laughter, roaring sounds...

Countless black lines were torn, smashed, and severed, leaving only Kakashi with dead fish eyes and helplessness as he raised his hand to form hand seals and squeeze out the little chakra he had left.

"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"

A mud wall carved with a dog's head rose up instantly, blocking the thick, hammer-like black tentacles.

Bang! !

However, it only held out for a moment before the earthen wall carved with a dog's head exploded, turning into a shower of rubble and dust.

Kakuzu, filled with rage and resentment, unleashed a thick, black tentacle that continued to bombard him with the force to crush everything!

Amidst the smoke and dust, Kakashi Hatake's eyes were filled with fine blood vessels, his Sharingan closed weakly, and his heavy breathing indicated that he had reached his limit.

Just at this critical moment, a clear whistling sound pierced his ear!

call!
A white figure swept in from afar, as fast as a streak of light, and precisely grabbed Kakashi by the collar and lifted him up.

Kakashi was caught off guard and his feet left the ground. His field of vision suddenly opened up, and his signature dead fish eyes widened because of this sudden change.

"Kakashi-senpai, are you okay?"

It wasn't until he heard the concerned words that he snapped out of his daze and looked up.

That face belonged to Hinata Kumokawa.

However, at this moment, Hinata Kumokawa suddenly unfurled a pair of enormous white wings behind him, the feathers emitting a soft halo.

It seemed to be woven from the purest light, completely out of place in the dark and filthy underground palace.

But at that moment, Kakashi's pupils suddenly contracted, reflecting the black thread tentacles that were slamming down from behind Hyuga Kumokawa.

"Be careful……"

Before he could finish speaking, Hinata Kumokawa flapped his wings powerfully and flew dozens of meters away in an instant.

boom! !

Those torrents of black lines, powerful enough to shatter mountain rocks, crashed against the walls with incredibly heavy sounds.

Hinata Kumokawa once again spread his wings and stood in mid-air, his usual gentleness gone, his gaze cold as he looked down at Kakuzu, who was no different from a monster.

"Filthy." He uttered two cold words indifferently.

The moment the words fell, wind-style chakra surged forth like a torrent, pouring into the enormous white wings behind him.

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, he slowly raised his arm toward Kakuzu, his wings suddenly folding forward and flapping out, his robes fluttering in the air currents and wind.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

A chilling, extremely dense, and sharp sound of something cutting through the air rang out!
The originally soft, fluffy white feathers that swayed gently in the wind seemed to transform into indestructible white arrows at this moment.

Each feather carried a sharp, cold glint comparable to refined steel, meeting Kakuzu's black tentacles head-on without any fancy moves!
The tip of the tentacle was as if it had been thrown into a high-speed rotating meat grinder, instantly cut, torn, and shredded by countless white feathers!
