Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

Kakuzu packed his purse and took out a handful of new bounty warrants.

"let me see……"

He chose one that was neither too expensive nor too low, but was very close.

This is in line with his usual style of doing things.

Accumulate money steadily and keep earning until it is inexhaustible.

"Fuma Kotaro, currently working as a hired ninja in Kusagakure Village."

"The Kusagakure Village...seems like it's a pretty weak place. It looks like this guy's strength isn't that great either."

Kakutsu received the bounty order, changed his clothes slightly, and headed towards the Kusagakure Village.

However, before he had gone far, a figure blocked his way.

"Ok?"

Kakuzu tilted his head slightly and noticed that the person standing in front of him was a handsome white-haired boy wearing loose clothes and with sharp eyes.

"who are you?"

Kimimaro asked cautiously.

Karin, whose Kagura's mind's eyes had awakened, noticed the appearance of this dangerous ninja early on, and in order to protect Orochimaru's base here, Kimimaro chose to stop him without hesitation.

However, when he actually faced Kakuzu, he realized that this person was different from all the enemies he had encountered before!

Kakuzu has a strong smell of decay, like a dead leaf that has been in the soil for a long time, but his temperament is like a swamp, looking tattered but giving off an extremely dangerous feeling!

"..."

Kakuzu did not answer, but began to search through a pile of wanted warrants. As he searched, he looked up from time to time to look at Kimimaro's face in front of him.

"..."

Kimimaro didn't know what this guy was doing, but his cautious mentality made him stay where he was and not move.

"As expected, there is no reward."

After checking the last bounty, Kakuzu shook his head in disappointment.

"Go away! You worthless little devil."

He took the bounty order, ignored Kimimaro and walked forward.

"Humph!"

Kimimaro's face darkened, and he quickly grew a bone knife in his hand, then turned into a white afterimage and rushed forward!

"Um?!"

Kakuzu was a little surprised, and then his eyes were filled with joy.

"It's actually a bloodline limit! It seems you're worth something!"

As he spoke, he jumped back quickly to avoid Kimimaro's attack. Almost at the same time, something like a puppet head on his shoulder opened its mouth.

call--!

Hot flames spurt out!

What the hell is this move?!

Kimimaro was caught off guard, but his strong reaction allowed him to change direction instantly and avoid the attack!

And the next moment, another strange mask on Kakuzu's shoulder opened its mouth!

This time, what came out was a violent gale!

Kimimaro failed to dodge and was hit instantly, sending his body flying backwards!

"Not a bad kid, but too young!"

Seeing that his attack was effective, Kakuzu nodded with satisfaction, but he did not take it lightly.

Because he noticed that Kimimaro didn't have many wounds on his body.

Among the opponents he had encountered before, anyone who was hit by this move of his almost lost half their life, lost their ability to fight, and was taken away by him obediently!

"Cough cough!"

Kimimaro coughed up blood after falling to the ground and stood up instantly. White bone armor appeared above his skin, which prevented him from being seriously injured.

"What kind of weird ninjutsu is that? Is it a bloodline limit?"

At this moment, he suddenly missed Toru Ito.

The strange ninjutsu used by the other party was extremely powerful, and I barely understood it. If we continued to fight like this...

I'm afraid it's a bit difficult!

At this moment, the opposite corner had raised his hand.

"Secret Technique: Tentacle Fist!"

boom--!

A huge amount of black lines suddenly spurted out from the joint of his wrist, driving his fist to fly out like a bullet!

The target is Kimimaro's heart!

He wants to take away the boy's fresh heart!

"Corpse Vein·Willow Dance!"

Facing the incoming attack, Kimimaro's expression froze, several bone spurs spread out from his body, and his body suddenly became as light as willow catkins!

This is the move he learned after fighting with Scorpion!

His bloodline limit is indeed not suitable for learning ninjutsu.

But if you can develop powerful physical skills, there is no need to learn other ninjutsu!

? !

Kakuzu's pupils shrank, and Kimimaro's bone spur instantly pierced through his hand and cut off the black line!

"This brat! How come he suddenly became stronger?"

"Fire Escape·Tou Ke Ku!"

"Wind Escape·Press!"

The Earth Wrath Yu on both sides of his shoulders opened their mouths at the same time, and raging flames and strong winds gushed out of their mouths!

The two intertwined together to form an extremely powerful wind and fire ninjutsu!

At this moment, Kimimaro, who was rushing towards this side, looked more serious than ever. He held the bone knife tightly in both hands and chopped it down fiercely against the strong wind and fire!

"Shh-!"

A crisp sound was heard, and a huge gap was forcibly opened up between the wind and fire!

Kimimaro's figure was like an arrow shot from a bow, passing through the huge gap at an astonishing speed, and in the blink of an eye he arrived in front of Kakuzu!

"Pfft!"

In just a moment, Kimimaro's bone spur had pierced deeply into Kakuzu's heart!

!!!

Kakuzu's pupils suddenly dilated, his eyes filled with disbelief and shock.

He never thought that he would lose his life here!

"damn it……"

Kakuzu secretly hated it, with a trace of regret and unwillingness appearing on his face.

However, he did not panic.

Because only he himself knows that he still has four hearts to replace.

Just be so careless, think you have gotten rid of me, and then let your guard down!

His heart was full of malice.

This kind of thing has happened before. When I met a strong opponent, just when the opponent thought he had defeated me...

puff!

Just when Kakuzu was still fantasizing about a counterattack, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder.

Kakuzu widened his eyes and looked down, only to see a sharp bone spur sticking out of Kimimaro's body and piercing his shoulder.

Another large stream of blood gushed out, staining the surrounding ground red.

"Why?!"

Kakuzu's expression suddenly changed, and a sense of fear surged in his heart.

He was not the kind of novice ninja who relied on luck. The opponent hit his heart on the shoulder at once, which was obviously not a coincidence!

"You... have five hearts, right?"

Kimimaro stared at Kakuzu with cold eyes like a demon from hell.

His voice was cold and heartless, as if he had seen through all of Kakuzu's secrets.

Karin had already told Kimimaro this news before she set off!

"How do you know?! Wait...don't kill me, I'm very useful!"

Kakuzu was really panicked now. He begged for mercy while quickly forming hand seals!

In an instant, his back cracked open, and two huge monsters made of black lines jumped out from it, attacking Kimimaro from the left and right!
