Kisame

Triple Rashomon.

The original name of this ninjutsu is actually Quintuple Rashomon, which is the ultimate defense ninjutsu used by the first Hokage Senju Hashirama, but because every time a Rashomon is summoned, it will cost an unimaginable amount of chakra, so since After the first Hokage, no one could master this technique until Orochimaru discovered it.

But Orochimaru can only barely summon the triple Rashomon, which is his limit.

At this moment, the evil spirits on the three gates seemed to have come to life, they opened their mouths without any scruples, and swallowed the chakra energy cannon that was coming.

Of these three gates, the first is responsible for enduring ninjutsu attacks, the second is to reduce the power, and the third is to further spread the power.

'Bang. bang.'

Kakuzu's chakra cannon was really powerful, they destroyed the first two gates one after another, causing them to collapse with a bang, causing a huge noise in the valley.

But in the process, the power of the chakra cannon was also greatly weakened, and it was finally blocked by the third Rashomon without any accident.

"Ha haa..."

Orochimaru knelt on the ground with his hands on the ground, panting violently, sweat dripping down his pale cheeks, dripping onto the ground.

Although he blocked Kakuzu's destructive ninjutsu, summoning the triple Rashomon also exhausted almost all of his chakra, making him to the point where he can't use any other ninjutsu.

He is so miserable these days.

These days, Orochimaru seems to be targeted by the world, and has been chased by several groups, each time he can only run away in a hurry.

Until this time, his luck may be running out.

'No, I want to live.'

Driven by a strong desire to survive, Orochimaru gritted his teeth and stood up, staggeringly fled towards the outside of the valley.

How could Kakuzu let him go.

'Whoosh.'

Kakuzu rushed over from a distance, jumped high, and eight giant black wires branched out from behind him, just like the eight legs of a spider.

"Orochimaru, you're finished!"

While talking, Kakuzu manipulated eight black wires to shoot at Orochimaru. They attacked the latter from all angles, sharper than a sword.

Orochimaru tried to struggle to fight them, he turned around in horror, and slashed at the black threads with the Kusanagi sword.

'Swish swish.'

He cut off several black threads, but after all, two fists were no match for four hands, and he was quickly defeated, and even the Kusanagi sword was taken away by Kakuzu.

And Orochimaru himself was firmly entangled by those black threads, unable to move his hands and feet, he was fixed in place.

"I win."

Kakuzu announced his victory and walked to Orochimaru step by step.

'No.'

Orochimaru was so defeated that he could only roar unwillingly in his heart. Originally, he also had the eight branches jutsu as an ace, which could transform him into the legendary Yamato no Orochi, but due to chakra exhaustion, he was unable to perform it.

"You seem to be very interested in my Earth Grudge jutsu. In this case, before you die, I will let you see the most wonderful part of this technique. I will show you how it makes me immortal."

Kakuzu stared at Orochimaru, and while speaking, he stretched his right hand to the latter's heart.

What he has to do next is to use this hand to penetrate Orochimaru's chest, forcibly extract the latter's heart and chakra attributes, and then sew the heart into his body for his own use.

Orochimaru watched Kakuzu's hand getting closer and closer, his face turned ashen, and the fear of death in his heart surged like a tide, making him tremble uncontrollably.

He has seen too many deaths and is deeply aware of the fragility of life, so he has always been so obsessed with immortality.

But now, his life seems to come to an end, and his wish for immortality is, after all, a dream.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru slowly closed his eyes, waiting for death to come.

'It seems that Orochimaru is really defeated.'

In the distance, Kisame, who had been hiding behind a tree to watch the fight, thought to himself.

If it is Orochimaru in its heyday, he is definitely not afraid of Kakuzu, and even has a high probability of defeating him. But Orochimaru was seriously injured, and he was at an extreme disadvantage as soon as he came up, and it was inevitable that he would lose in the end.

However, Kisame didn't want to see Orochimaru dying, after all, the latter was still of great use to him.

So, he activated the "Kamui" of his left eye, he focused his eye on Kakuzu's heart from a distance of dozens of meters.

Next second.

"Fizz!"

Kakuzu, who was about to take Orochimaru's heart, suddenly let out the sound of gasping for air, because an unimaginable pain came from his chest.

He looked down and was shocked, and found that his entire left chest, under the twist of an unknown force, had mysteriously... disappeared.

Yep, disappeared.

At this moment, a large hole appeared in his chest, which was empty, and the back could be seen from the front.

The heart of his body was destroyed.

'Thump.'

Kakuzu was in severe pain, and had to interrupt capturing Orochimaru's heart. He knelt on the ground, suffering endlessly. The black wires shot from behind him also returned to his body the next second.

'What happened?'

Orochimaru waited for death to come, opened his eyes, but saw that Kakuzu fell to the ground, and he couldn't help being shocked.

However, due to the relief that he didn't die, before he had time to be ecstatic, his eyes darkened due to his extreme physical and mental weakness, and he passed out.

Kakuzu who heart was lost inexplicably, took off the Fire mask on his left shoulder, stuffed it into his chest, and stood up again.

'Is it Orochimaru?'

He glanced at the unconscious Orochimaru in surprise, and quickly ruled out this judgment, because he suddenly sensed a chakra that appeared not far away.

'Who is it?'

Kakuzu looked over with a murderous look in his eyes, and saw a mysterious man wearing an orange swirl mask with only one left eye visible.

'Wait, that eye...'

His eyes narrowed as he noticed the other's left eye, which was not only blood red, but the pattern of the pupil was also very strange.

When looking at that eye, Kakuzu suddenly went into trance for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, the mysterious man disappeared.

'No, it's an illusion.'

Kakuzu was startled, and quickly used the chakras generated by the two hearts to interfere with each other, so that he could escape from the illusion created by the enemy.

Just when he became awake, a sharp pain came from his chest again.

Kakuzu looked down, and saw a bone sword, stabbing in from his back and out of his chest, piercing his heart.

'Click.'

The fire mask at the heart was stabbed by the bone sword and cracked with a crisp sound. This means that he lost another heart.

"Surprised?"

Behind him, came the voice of the mysterious masked man.

Although Kisame bears the name of the Demi-God of the ninja world and the Sage of the Land of Water, he has never forgotten his original intention and has always maintained the fine habit of attacking the enemy unaware.

Just now, he first used his Kamui to destroy a heart, and then used the illusion to interfere with the opponent. He took the opportunity to appear behind Kakuzu, and destroyed a heart again.

In the blink of an eye, Kakuzu has only the last wind heart left, and his combat power is less than one-fifth of his usual strength, not much stronger than ordinary Jonin.

Kakuzu also understand this.

He was not sure whether the masked man who attacked him was Orochimaru's accomplice, but this kind of thing was irrelevant, and his only thought now was to live.

'Swiii.'

The wind mask on his shoulders shot forward in an instant, turning into a black shadow mask monster in the air, fleeing into the distance without looking back.

In order to survive, Kakuzu not only gave up the Orochimaru corpse and heart that he had obtained, he even ruthlessly abandoned his main body, just to seek a lifeline.

He will be a cruel man for himself to survive.

Regrettably, his efforts were doomed to be in vain.

Kisame looked at the fleeing Kakuzu, and didn't panic, he unfolded a pair of black wings behind his back, and chased after him.

'Shhhhhh.'

As he flapped his wings, hundreds of black feathers fell from the sky like a torrential rain, blocking all possible escape routes for Kakuzu.

Desperate to the extreme, Kakuzu could only stop and turn around, and desperately fight against Kisame.

He mobilized all his chakra and through the mouth of the wind mask, he launched a high-pressure wind ball at Kisame. The countless wind blades in the wind ball spun, and once it came into contact with Kisame, it would strangle the latter into pieces.

However, Kisame just raised his hand, and the palm of his hand turned into a huge fan, which gently fanned in the face of the incoming wind ball.

Gunbai · Rebound.

'Swiiiii.'

Under Kakuzu's unbelievable gaze, the high-pressure wind ball he launched was just bounced back by Kisame, now covering him.

'Boom.'

The wind blade burst, and the last heart was also torn into countless pieces in the storm.

Kakuzu is dead.

This legendary ninja who has been in the ninja world for decades, killed countless people, and can be called a living fossil, has come to the end of his life.

Kisame glanced at the broken mask on the ground, turned and flew back to the previous valley.

This valley, due to the previous battle between Orochimaru and Kakuzu, has already changed beyond recognition and is in a mess.

It didn't take much time for Kisame to chase and kill Kakuzu, and he only left for a short while, so when he came back, Orochimaru was still in a coma and didn't wake up.

Kisame thought for a while, and instead of awakening Orochimaru, he put him directly into the Box of Ultimate bliss, intending to return to Kirigakure, and then release him for interrogation and torture.

In addition to Orochimaru, there are two other things that Kisame has gained from this trip.

One is the Kusanagi sword.

This is a Kusanagi sword with a shape similar to a samurai sword. In addition to being sharp and hard, the biggest feature is that it can conduct chakra.

In the anime, Orochimaru gave the sword to Sasuke, who used lightning to "enchant" the sword and play Chidori-ryu ninjutsu.

Kisame held the black hilt of the Kusanagi sword, activated the Lightning tenketsu, and injected lightning chakra into the sword, and the sword really shone with a dazzling golden light.

In this way, Kisame has already obtained two Kusanagi swords, and only the last one is left, and all the Kusanagi swords will be collected by him.

Another gain of Kisame is a scroll found from Kakuzu's body.

The content recorded in it is the Earth Grudge jutsu.

Kisame couldn't help but gleam it, and his heart was ecstatic.

In his opinion, the value of Earth Grudge even exceeds all the ninjutsu and forbidden arts collected in the Konoha Forbidden jutsu library.

Because, this is a real technique that can make people achieve immortality!

After learning the Earth grudge, not only can you have five lives like Kakuzu, but as long as you keep replacing with a young heart, you can live forever and gain eternal life.

Of course, cultivating Earth grudge will definitely have some side effects, and it is still unknown what kind they are. But compared with the temptation of immortality, no matter how big the side effects are, it is acceptable.

With the Earth grudge in hand, Kisame has a way out.

He will not give up his former pursuit, but will continue to embark on the road of evolution, dreaming of one day becoming a powerful and immortal extraordinary creature like the slug sage.

But if he unfortunately fails, he still has a choice to choose, and he can also achieve immortality.

Thinking of this, Kisame had peace of mind, and he put the scroll of Earth Grudge jutsu into the Box of Ultimate Bliss and kept it carefully.

'It's time to get out of here.'

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly sensed that several strands of chakra quickly approached the valley. Judging from the strength, it was undoubtedly Jiraiya and others.

After all, it is not too far from Amegakure.

It seems that the previous battle between Orochimaru and Kakuzu caused too much movement, so they brought the people from Konoha and Suma over.

Kisame's thoughts moved, but he did not flee immediately, but formed a seal, activated the morph shoulder pattern on the right shoulder, and transformed into Orochimaru on the spot.
