Chapter 129 Still Fighting Even After Death
"Hmph! It's nothing, Hozuki Gengetsu is nothing."
"That would be best, it's up to you now!"
Kakuzu spoke with great conviction, and Souji was very supportive of him.
The purpose of recruiting these individuals and establishing the Shadow Division was, naturally, to have them perform the work.
If you have to do everything yourself, then what's the point of having them?
However, although Kakuzu spoke with great conviction, ...
The Souji wasn't too optimistic.
The second-generation Mizukage, Hozuki Gengetsu, is still quite strong.
It can summon the summoning beast Giant Clam to use the Magical Vapor Pavilion, creating a massive mirage and clones to protect Hozuki Gengetsu.
His ordinary skills include Water Release ninjutsu, among which he is particularly proficient in the Water Gun Technique.
This is a secret ninjutsu passed down through generations of the Hozuki clan.
Although it is not a high-level technique, when used by a Kage-level powerhouse like Hozuki Gengetsu, its power is quite impressive. In particular, the casting speed and firing speed are very fast, making it a high threat even in Kage-level battles.
Its ultimate move is the famous infinite explosive ninjutsu, Steam Violent Might.
This move was so powerful that it left the Second Tsuchikage Mu, Second Tsuchikage, who could also fly, reeling from the difficulty of dealing with it, though Kakuzu is also a Kage-level shinobi, his greatest strength lies in the five lives of Jigureu.
As for other techniques, although Kakuzu has quite a few powerful ninjutsu, they are relatively mediocre among Kage-level techniques.
The monster that the Earth Grudge Fear Mask transforms into is also somewhat dispensable among Kage-level techniques.
He lacks decisive offensive moves.
Just as I was thinking this...
Suddenly, a loud boom echoed from afar.
After that, a great deal of fighting noise rang out, as if a war had broken out.
"This is..."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
A large number of ninjas appeared and were engaged in fierce combat, with various ninjutsu constantly clashing and causing destruction time and time again.
At this moment, a voice shouted:
"Second Tsuchikage Mu! You're looking for death again!"
"I sent you on your way while you were alive, and now that you're dead, I'll crush you to pieces!"
"You're really unlucky! You just had to be my enemy!"
After saying this, the voice burst into wild laughter.
"Hmph! How arrogant!"
Another voice snorted coldly, and at the same time, a huge light cannon suddenly appeared in the sky and crashed into the battlefield!
"I didn't want to talk to you, but your provocations are just too annoying. To get some peace, I have no choice but to kill you..." the voice said in a low voice.
"Hahaha! Let's have a good fight! Otherwise, the world of the dead is so boring, when will it ever end!"
The Souji looked at the thin, bandaged man flying in the sky firing light cannons, and the eyebrowless, mustachioed man who was laughing and joking as he fired water cannons, seemingly enjoying himself.
"The second Tsuchikage Mu, and the second Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu..."
"These two guys fought to the death when they were alive, and now that they're dead, they're still fighting endlessly in the underworld, just like they always did in life..."
Unlike the living who use chakra to pulverize and liberate the dead, this is different.
The undead share the same energy source, so attacking each other is like pouring water into water; no matter how hard they try, they can't do anything to each other.
They can't defeat their opponents, and they all have unlimited chakra; these guys are just playing around.
Everyone watched as Mu and Hozuki Gengetsu fought fiercely, exploding around them, and were all amazed by their formidable fighting prowess.
The second Tsuchikage,Mu, was the master of the current Tsuchikage, Onoki.
He also possessed the flight ability derived from the Super Light-Heavy Rock Technique, as well as the Kekkei Tota Dust Release.
His combat strength was similar to Onoki's at his peak, and perhaps even slightly stronger.
Mu and Hozuki Gengetsu fought for many years during their lifetimes and eventually perished together, showing that they were both strong at the same level.
They're just not easy to deal with.
Souji patted Kakuzu on the shoulder and laughed heartily:
"Even the Second Tsuchikage is here, that's great.
This is the perfect opportunity for you to shine. It's up to you now, Kakuzu!"
"..."
Kakuzu's lips twitched slightly beneath his mask, his mind utterly speechless.
I could take on one, but you want me to take on two guys of this caliber?!
Kakuzu remained silent for a long while, then finally took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"I can't take on two of these guys!"
"You can't do it?"
"Nonsense!"
"Then Sasori, why don't you help Kakuzu out?"
Souji looked at Sasori, who immediately showed a reluctant expression.
"I want one too?"
"The previous opponents were given to Yahiko and the others, but now that there are two Kage-level opponents, they are naturally for you."
"Fighting against opponents of the same level is the only way to hone your skills, and this is for your own good."
"Be careful, don't get injured or lose limbs. I can heal you all with medical ninjutsu."
The Souji laughed:
"This way, we can also train Karin in medical ninjutsu at the same time. It's a win-win situation!"
"you..."
Sasori looked helplessly at Mu and Hozuki Gengetsu, who were fighting each other.
"I can't guarantee I'll win..."
"It's good to get some experience."
The Souji thought for a moment and then said:
"By the way, you can use the Wind Shadow Puppet."
"Hmm?" Sasori was somewhat surprised.
"Anyway, no one in the underworld will see it, so there won't be any trouble. You can use it freely."
"Oh well..."
Sasori laughed confidently, his voice tinged with excitement.
Previously, due to concerns about the trouble caused by using the Kazekage Puppet, Souji had temporarily prohibited him from using it.
Although Sasori wouldn't bother using his most prized possession against weaker opponents, ordinary puppets ultimately fall short when facing stronger adversaries.
Sasori stepped forward and exchanged a glance with Kakuzu.
They both saw the fighting spirit gleaming in each other's eyes.
Although fighting the undead yields little in terms of materials or money, most ninjas are quite warlike, and they are no exception.
Even without any benefit or advantage, people will still be eager to compete with rivals of the same level.
Sasori took out a large scroll from behind his back, unfurled it on the ground, gently bit his finger, and pressed the blood onto the scroll.
With a bang, a cloud of white smoke exploded.
The Wind Shadow Puppet appeared in the dispersing white smoke.
Kakuzu's expression instantly turned serious.
"This guy is... the Third Kazekage? You actually turned the Kazekage into a puppet?"
"So the Third Kazekage disappeared because you killed him and turned him into a puppet..."
Kakuzu didn't quite understand when he first heard about the Kazekage Puppet, but seeing it in person made him understand many things instantly.
Kakuzu gave Sasori a serious look, then looked at Souji and said:
"This guy is practically the mastermind behind this Fourth Shinobi World War.
You want to become Hokage, but you've taken him in as a subordinate. If this gets discovered later, you'll be in a lot of trouble..."
"I know, but it's okay. Sasori is a rare talent."
The Souji laughed:
"It's just a little trouble, but it's definitely worth it!"
