However, Kiyoshi's lips only curled slightly upwards.
Even S-rank chakra abilities vary in quality.
He has S-rank chakra control ability because the highest rank is only S.
Kakuzu's S-rank chakra control ability is only S-rank.
Kiyoshi gathered his chakra in his chest and throat, opened his mouth, and exhaled, revealing five scorching dragon heads.
The dragon's head roared and snarled, exuding a magnificent aura.
Boom~!
The flames collided with the hurricane, resulting in a deafening roar.
The flames were blown around by the wind.
Suddenly, some trees burst into flames.
The rain dripped softly from the sky onto the burning trees.
If this weren't the Land of Rain, it would probably have turned into a sea of fire, burning ever brighter.
"So strong."
Xiao Nan covered her face with her hands and took a few steps back.
She had no idea how Kiyoshi and Kakuzu, who were ahead of her, endured the intense heat.
"How many skilled fighters like Kakuzu are still under Nagato's command?"
Xiao Nan pondered to herself.
Kakuzu's secret technique, "Earth Grudge Fear," allows him to use chakra to control black tentacles released from his body, thereby stealing the hearts of others.
To kill him completely, you would have to kill him at least five times.
Furthermore, Kakuzu can extend his lifespan by having his heart replaced.
Some people also say that he "gained true immortality and became a true Xenomorph."
At least in Konan's opinion, if she wants to deal with Kakuzu, she probably can only do so by hoarding a large number of "explosive tags".
Through continuous explosions, Kakuzu's five lives were depleted.
"Magnetic Release: Chidori Sharp Spear".
Kiyoshi remained completely unaffected by the flames.
His resistance to "fire" has long since reached a terrifying level.
Whoosh!
A cluster of azure currents with black ripples pierced the flames and also the masked, black-threaded monster.
Click.
The mask of "Earth Grudge Fear - Wind Escape Masked Monster" is broken.
Kakuzu's face darkened.
The battle had only just begun, and he had already lost a life.
"Thunder Escape·Pseudo Darkness!"
"Fire Escape·Tou Ke Ku!"
"Water Escape·Water Curtain!"
Kakuzu went all out, and the monsters behind him unleashed their most proficient ninjutsu.
A sharp lightning spear, flames as vast as the sea, and water cannons all shot out from behind Kakuzu.
"How should Uchiha Kiyoshi respond?"
On another hill, Pain watched this scene quietly.
Beside him were five other puppets, all with pale purple, wavy eyes.
Sasori, who was opposite Pain, spoke up after hearing this:
"Doesn't Uchiha Kiyoshi know a technique that allows him to envelop himself in chakra and become a black giant? And he also possesses 'Sage Mode'."
Scorpion spoke of Kiyoshi's abilities as if they were his own treasures.
He was very attentive to information about his enemies.
"They've arrived. It's... a 'Celestial Technique'."
The six puppets, now scattered, allowed Nagato, who was hiding far away, to see Kiyoshi's response.
Each puppet can share his line of sight, and at the right angle, it is even better than the Byakugan's 360-degree field of vision.
The Byakugan can only focus on the scenery centered on itself, while the puppet can disperse and scout in different locations.
In Nagato's field of vision, a golden light suddenly appeared amidst the red flames and blue lightning.
With a sweep of golden light, all of Kakuzu's ninjutsu were deflected.
Upon closer inspection, the golden light was clearly that of a large, pale golden snake, its scales incredibly lifelike.
"Immortal Arts..."
Kakuzu was on high alert.
Whether it was his imagination or not, he always felt that Kiyoshi's "Sage Art" was even more perfect than Hashirama Senju's.
At this moment, he was certain that the rumors circulating outside that Kiyoshi had collected three kinds of "Sage Techniques" were true, and he estimated that they included the same "Sage Techniques" that Hashirama Senju had used back then.
"Is that all the strength you have, Kakuzu?"
Kiyoshi's tone was indifferent, and the eyeshadow around his eyes turned a chaotic black.
His scarlet Sharingan was tinged with gold, turning the black tomoe inside into gold.
When using "immortal arts", the appearance of the caster's pupils will tend to resemble the appearance of what they have learned and inherited.
Mount Myoboku has frog eyes, Ryuchi Cave has snake eyes, and Shikkotsu Forest has golden round pupils.
Three golden magatama patterns will appear in Kiyoshi's pupils.
When the Sharingan is activated, it happens to overlap with the tomoe of the Sharingan.
However, when the Sharingan rotates, the golden tomoe will remain in place.
From a distance, Kiyoshi's eyes looked as if they contained six tomoe.
Golden light swirled around Qing Si, like the rising sun, radiant yet not dazzling.
That was the aura emanating from "Sage Mode," which combined four different chakra natures.
His "celestial art garment" was a long robe flowing with golden light, the hem fluttering gently like a tide of light slowly cascading down.
In the center of his chest, three magatama appeared, connected end to end, forming a black ring pattern. The pattern meandered down from the center, connecting to his abdomen, and gradually expanded into three interlocking black rings, from small to large.
At the same time, symmetrical black markings appeared on his shoulders and back. These patterns were not intentional decorations, but traces formed when chakra flowed naturally.
Undeniably, Kiyoshi's current appearance is extremely impressive.
If this outfit were used to deceive ordinary people, many would probably think that Kiyoshi was a deity descended from heaven.
Even with extraordinary powers like chakra, the ninja world still retains various kinds of beliefs.
Hidan's cult of evil, including the Fire Temple where Jiraiya resides, is one such example.
"I admit you have some ability, but you'll regret it if you underestimate me."
Kakuzu reached out, and the masks that had been scattered around his body surged back into his back, while the stitches on his body began to mend his skin.
The remaining four masks began to wriggle on his back and gradually climbed onto Kakuzu's right arm.
The chakra within the mask rapidly condensed, accumulating power.
Earth Grudge Fear: Final Shot!
A massive torrent of chakra erupted from the mask on Kakuzu's right arm, carving deep furrows in the ground, and charged toward Kiyoshi with fierce momentum.
Kakuzu used up almost all of his chakra to unleash his strongest attack.
"Immortal Technique: Lightning Escape: Serpent Controlling Lightning".
Golden chakra surged from Kiyoshi's palm, forming a giant snake.
Behind the burning "Cloak of Immortal Arts," a corresponding snake shadow crawled into Kiyoshi's palm.
The snakes intertwined one by one, growing larger and larger.
After a certain boundary point, a large golden serpent swam out.
The torrent of chakra formed by the chakra cannon and the golden serpent made contact with each other in the air, creating a violent tremor.
The drizzling rain stopped falling and drifted away under the influence of the shockwave.
The mountains and forests on the ground began to sway and shake.
The gusts of wind generated by the clash of ninja techniques swept rapidly across everything on the earth.
Kakuzu only heard a cracking sound as his "Earth Grudge Fear: Final Shot" was torn apart by the fangs of the golden serpent.
Without a second thought, he quickly used "Earth Release: Earth Spear" to increase the hardness of his body.
However, the hardened black skin did not withstand the onslaught of the golden serpent.
Kakuzu's body was instantly reduced to dust, and the black threads turned into dust.
"Ahhhh~!"
The horn of the creature, with only half its body remaining, was screaming in agony on the ground.
Even though he used the secret technique "Earth Grudge Fear" to transform his body into a ghost-like creature, Kakuzu still retains the human sense of pain.
"come over."
The pale golden snake behind Kiyoshi resembled a giant hand, extending outwards.
Just as they were about to capture Kakuzu, he suddenly flew backward into thin air.
It was as if something was absorbing his body.
Kiyoshi remained expressionless and directly severed Kakuzu's lower body.
"what!"
With Kakuzu's scream, the left half of his body was gone, becoming only a quarter of its original size.
Only half a head and half a chest cavity remained.
Black threads writhed wildly across his body, and Kakuzu's mask was now down to its last one.
Click.
A crack appeared in the mask; if Kakuzu were to do it again, he would die instantly.
Even with his immortality, Kiyoshi's attacks made him so vulnerable, no different from an ordinary ninja.
"A little slower."
Pain frowned slightly.
The puppets are so detailed that they can even reflect the emotions and expressions of Nagato, who is controlling them from a distance.
He tried to pull Kakuzu back, but Kiyoshi accelerated his attack, almost killing Kakuzu.
