One Dragon Tail Kick will shatter your Susanoo dream!

In the dense forest, in order to better complete the mission, Minato split his forces into two groups. Kakashi led Rin and Obito to Kannabi Bridge to destroy the bridge, while he himself drew fire and distracted the Iwa ninja guarding the bridge.

Obito used the Fireball Jutsu to burn the remaining Iwa ninja to a crisp, and said excitedly.

"Too easy! Once this mission is completed, the Iwa ninja, who have lost their supply lines, will be able to end the war very quickly!"

Caught off guard, Obito was suddenly attacked by an Iwa ninja who raised the shuriken in his hands and thrust them toward Obito's forehead.

Suddenly, another small figure appeared. Kakashi flashed behind Obito and raised his sword to block the sneak attack from the Iwa ninja.

"Idiot, watch your back!"

Soon, the dozen or so Iwa ninja who remained to guard the bridge were all slaughtered. Minato's squad hurriedly began planting bombs. Just then, a cold voice rang out.

"Wind escape, pressure!"

A hurricane swept towards the group, nearly slicing Obito in two. A tall, masked figure appeared in the center of the scene, followed by an Iwa ninja who had previously fled.

"This bridge is now my target for protection. Leave if you don't want to die!"

After Kakuzu finished speaking coldly, he stopped in his tracks, and the surviving Iwa ninja immediately jumped up and down in a panic.

"Kill those three! You bastard, wasn't the 50 taels you just gave me enough?!"

Kakuzu glanced at the other person sideways and responded coldly.

"Murder comes at a different price..."

"You bastard, you greedy scoundrel!!!"

Iwashinobu's lips trembled slightly, and with a pained expression, he pulled out some loose change from his chest.

"Here is 13 taels. The rest can be collected from our tent after the battle!"

Kakuzu's eyes suddenly lit up, and with lightning speed, he stuffed the money into his pocket.

"Understood, distinguished guest!"

Obito, who could no longer contain himself, jumped up from directly in front of him, muttering to himself.

"What are you pretending for, you weirdo!"

"Idiot Kakashi, don't interfere! Let me handle him!"

"Let me show you my latest ninjutsu!"

"Fire Release: Fireball Barrage!"

Several fireballs were spewed out of Obito's mouth and attacked Kakuzu's surroundings, covering his entire body. Judging from the effect of the explosion, the destructive power was extremely great!

Seeing that his ninjutsu had easily hit his opponent, Obito arrogantly raised both hands and placed them behind his head.

"A lackey who couldn't even dodge one of my attacks, Obito-sama truly is the best..."

"How is that possible? Trying to tough it out with your body?"

Kakuzu calmly released the Earth Spear ninjutsu, his body returning to its normal skin color, and then slowly stepped forward.

"A young Konoha ninja, his lethality is not bad, but let's stop here!"

Rin threw several kunai from a distance, but Kakuzu easily dodged them all, which at least gave Obito a chance to create some distance.

"Obito, be careful! That strange guy probably used some kind of ninjutsu to avoid the damage!"

"Hehe, Lin, are you worried about me...?"

Obito, who was infatuated with Kakuzu, was kicked away by him by Kakuzu, who suddenly accelerated. The speed of the kick was so fast that Kakashi couldn't even react.

"You arrogant brat who dares to get distracted on the battlefield!"

Obito was kicked to the base of a large tree, clutching the back of his head in pain. Rin rushed to treat him, while Kakashi stood in front of Kakuzu with his sword.

"I won't let you take another step forward!"

Two masks slowly appeared behind Kakuzu, and after landing, they quickly transformed into two black monsters with an ominous appearance.

"Is that so? Then let's have some fun!"

Kakuzu, like a map-wide attack, worked with the masked monster to unleash a large number of highly destructive Five Elements ninjutsu, attacking Kakashi while also taking the opportunity to strike Obito and Kakashi who were receiving treatment.

This scene thrilled even the Iwa ninja hiding behind the tree, who couldn't help but peek out and cheer.

"Well done! No wonder you're known as the man who earns money the fastest!"

Faced with Kakuzu's oppressive attacks, Kakashi could only jump to avoid the damage. Before obtaining the Sharingan, he had always fought using the swordsmanship his father taught him, combined with his own Chidori ninjutsu.

Faced with Kakuzu's overwhelming attacks, the members of Minato's team were forced to retreat and seek cover.

Obito, whose injuries had been healed by Rin, clenched his fists with a look of resentment on his face.

"Damn it, Minato-sensei has drawn away most of the enemies, and we still can't complete the mission..."

Lin crossed her arms over her chest, took out a shuriken, and said earnestly.

"Kakashi, Obito, don't worry about me. Completing the mission is the most important thing!"

Kakashi sighed softly and secretly glanced at Kakuzu, whose fire had been extinguished.

"I'll use Earth Release to infiltrate underground and be ready to ambush the masked monster at any moment. Obito, you use Fire Release to obscure the view and hold that guy back. Rin, just protect yourself and find the right opportunity to force that guy back and light the fuse!"

"Our goal is to blow up the Kannabi Bridge, not to kill people!"

Obito nodded solemnly, then quickly jumped out of his hiding place and came close to Kakuzu.

"Mask-wearing man so ugly he's afraid to show his face, take this fireball from your grandpa..."

One after another, massive fireballs hurtled towards Kakuzu, who calmly used his earth spear to block them.

Kakashi had already emerged from underground, his hands flashing with the crackling sound of Chidori, ready to pierce through the two masked monsters in one strike.

Unexpectedly, Kakuzu suddenly flashed forward and, ignoring the threat of the Great Fireball Jutsu, spat out a beam of light towards him. As the attack wave of the composite ninjutsu drew closer, a trace of fear flashed in Kakashi's eyes.

"Damn it, doesn't this guy care about his own life?!"

Suddenly, a one-armed, masked figure appeared on the battlefield and instantly abducted Kakashi, who was suspended in mid-air.

Kakuzu's composite ninjutsu missed its target, piercing through a large area of ​​forest.

"Oh, interesting, what's this guy doing here..."

Although the other person was masked, Kakuzu knew that he was one of his own, the second-in-command of the Night Watch, who did not care about fame or fortune and always stood behind Kisame at meetings in Kusagakure, keeping a low profile.

After a moment of silence, Kakuzu asked.

"What are the leader's instructions?"

He answered in a deliberately lowered voice, with indifference.

"No, this is just a personal matter. Thank you for your help..."

"Ugh, what a hassle..."

Kakuzu complained unhappily, then the two masked monsters flew back into their bodies and slowly approached the surviving Iwa ninja. Seeing the terrified look in their eyes, they comforted them.

"Don't be nervous, I just happen to need a fresh heart..."

Having replenished his heart, Kakuzu, his face smeared with blood, coldly approached Sakumo Hatake.

"Remember, you owe me two now. If you don't pay me, I'm going to go find that guy..."

"Ahem, thank you for your help..."

"Hmph" ╯^╰

With a soft "humph," Kakuzu, feeling he had suffered a great loss, slowly walked away from the bridge. The matter of silencing him was complete; the rest was up to the other party!
