BXBX NOVEL Chapter 114 - Kakuzu's Fight
*Click*
"This is the end."
Shikamaru moved forward two steps as Hidan fell into the hole. He was pierced by the spear.
The pit was also filled with gunpowder ash/smoke.
Asuma bit the flint between his teeth as the gunpowder ignited at once. There was a large explosion as TenTen also exploded the explosion tags in the pit.
"Katsu."
*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*
Several sounds of explosions rang as Asuma, Shikamaru and TenTen watched the scene.
After around 30 seconds, the explosion finally stopped. They walked towards the pit and saw Hidan\'s miserable appearance.
"Well, another one." Asuma said as he took out a lighter that was almost gone.
"TenTen, more explosive tags please." Asuma said as TenTen took out several tags. She was like the support for explosion tags and shurikens.
He threw them all in together with his old lighter that he was about to change.
They then turned around as Asuma said.
"Well, mission accomplished."
Shikamaru nodded with a small smile and TenTen was also happy.
One last *BOOM* went off as the explosion broke apart the already weakened ground.
The rocks and sand all filled up the pit as it served as Hidan\'s grave.
\'Even if he has an immortal body, he will die from starvation and dehydration. With the rocks and earth blocking the entrance, he has no way of exiting this place.\' Shikamaru thought before Asuma turned towards him with a new lighter.
Asuma took out a cigarette and placed it between his teeth. Then, he lit it up as he took in some smoke and then blew out a large puff.
"Want a cig, Shikamaru?" Asuma asked with a smile as Shikamaru shook both his hands and head.
"Sorry. It is too troublesome."
"Huh? You just have to light it up and take in the smoke."
"No. I will die earlier and will have to visit the hospital again and again if I smoke. It\'s troublesome. Sensei, you should also stop smoking." Shikamaru said as Asuma laughed out loud.
"Don\'t worry. Your sensei is a real man. I won\'t die from a cigarette. Also, where did you hear that fake news anyway? Those are myths. MYTHS." Asuma said as Shikamaru replied.
"I won\'t take the risk."
Thus, with the prevention of Asuma\'s death, Shikamaru never started smoking.
"I wonder how the other group is faring."
-----
[Kakuzu, at the start of the fight.]
Kakuzu saw how Hidan was fighting his opponents and he decided to hold his end of the deal.
\'He\'s immortal anyway. He won\'t die. And I also have my own fair share of trouble.\' He thought as he looked at the group that surrounded him.
\'Bowl cut man, bowl cut kid, white eye boy, white eye girl, pink hair girl, Kakashi Hatake.\'
Kakuzu was silent as he continued scanning his opponents.
\'6 opponents. I still have 5 hearts. If I can take them by surprise and kill one of them quickly, I\'ll have a proper chance of defeating them. Well, let\'s see. Who\'s the weakest here?\' Kakuzu thought as he finally saw Sakura.
Guy, Lee, Neji, Hinata, Kakashi and Sakura were all in a fighting stance as Guy suddenly shouted loudly.
"YOUTH!!!"
He disappeared from his place as he arrived behind Kakuzu. He lifted his right arm and kicked it directly to the ground as lots of dust came out. There was a huge dent on the ground and after the dust was cleared, Kakuzu had already disappeared.
He appeared behind Sakura with his left arm cut off from the elbow. This was due to him quickly placing it underground while the dust was covering the place he was standing at earlier.
He lifted his left arm as black threads emerged from it. They formed a drill-like head and headed towards Sakura, trying to pierce her.
Sakura turned around as she gathered chakra into her fist. She punched as she used the Strong Fist Jutsu.
"HAH!"
She shouted as she punched the drill-shaped thread. The threads were dispersed as blood dripped from Sakura\'s fingers.
However, Kakuzu smiled underneath his mask.
\'Ah, the impact of my fist meeting the head of the drill still hurt me.\' Sakura thought as Hinata appeared behind her with her byakugan activated.
Another set of threads emerged from underneath the ground as they all headed towards Sakura.
Hinata quickly deflected all of the threads using her Gentle Fist: Eight Trigram Palms.
Then, a left hand emerged from the ground as it reconnected to Kakuzu.
"Oh, that did not work either, huh?"
Kakuzu was indeed surprised but it was not time to be in shock. He was ready for the next attack.
"Fifth Gate… OPEN!"
"Fourth Gate… OPEN!"
Guy and Lee shouted at the same time as their speed, strength were enhanced greatly. Guy didn\'t feel the need to use the Sixth and Seventh Gate as it was still not serious.
Lee could already use up to the Seventh Gate but he didn\'t want to risk it. The situation during the chunin exam might happen again.
"YOUTH!!!!"x2
They both shouted extremely loudly as they kicked off from the ground. The ground cracked a bit as they both took their own position.
Guy first appeared behind Kakuzu and kicked him. Kakuzu tried to block it with his threads but he was kicked up to the air.
Lee jumped upwards as he kicked Kakuzu back to the ground with an axe kick.
Then, Guy shouted.
"KAKASHI! IT\'S TIME FOR YOUR YOUTH TO SHINE!"
He then kicked the falling Kakuzu towards Kakashi as Kakuzu was approaching him at high speeds.
Kakashi had his sharingan activated and lightning gathered in his hand.
"Chidori."
He said as he lunged forward. His hand pierced Kakuzu\'s heart and then he pulled his hand away.
"Be ready for the next phase." Kakashi said as the others all nodded.
Kakuzu stood up as he ripped off his cloak. There was a hole in the left side of his chest. At the back, a mask with blue stripes was broken.
Kakuzu\'s back started moving in a gross way and his stitches came out. Three weird-looking stitch monsters came out with four different masks while Kakuzu was also standing up while cracking his neck.
"Well, this will be hard."
The monster with the beaked peak and blue stripes melted into a puddle of black mud-like substance.
Everyone went in their own group as Guy was against the Wind Mask, Kakashi was against the Fire Mask, Neji and Lee were against Lightning Mask and Sakura and Hinata were against Kakuzu, who had the Earth Affinity.
"Hmph. Ignorant fools. What can these two little girls do against me." Kakuzu muttered as he stretched out his two arms.
The two arms headed towards Sakura and Hinata respectively, which they both just dodged. Then, they dashed forward to Kakuzu. The two hands returned and were about to grab them from the back and Hinata quickly turned around and deflected them with Gentle Fist. Sakura arrived in front of Kakuzu as she was ready to punch.
Then, black threads came out from Kakuzu\'s body as he used it to block her punch. However, it was not strong enough to block her punch. The threads were broken apart and Kakuzu was vulnerable for a second. He retracted his two hands and Sakura suddenly ducked.
Hinata who deflected the hands turned towards him and used Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams: Vacuum Palm.
Vacuum Palm was an attack that formed a vacuum shell formed using Gentle Fist. It is used to attack the opponent\'s vital parts from a distance and to blow them away from their feet even before they noticed they were hit.
The attack hit Kakuzu but he didn\'t budge, due to him using Earth Release: Earth Spear Technique which made his body as hard as a diamond. His body was almost indestructible with the exception of lightning release.
"Hmph. Your attacks have no effect on me. My body is as hard as a diamond."
"Dumbass."
Hinata muttered as she thought,
\'Telling your enemies how your jutsu work and your advantages. Such an idiotic move.\'
"That\'s good. Diamond will be crushed if it is hit with enough force." Sakura said with a grin as Hinata also nodded.
Then, all of a sudden, Kakuzu heard several projectiles hitting the ground and felt one of his connections with his heart being destroyed. He looked left and right as he saw his Wind Mask already broken and a black goo surrounding it.
He then saw Guy who had an intense green aura surrounding him and his skin was red.
-----
[1 minute earlier]
\'I would love to fight for some time but I have to end this as fast as possible. I cannot take a risk in which the children might get hurt.\' Guy thought before he went into Sixth Gate from Fifth Gate.
Guy\'s speed was enhanced greatly as he arrived in front of the Wind Mask monster immediately.
He kicked it up as the monster was going up the sky. Then, Guy jumped up as he created a loud noise.
"MORNING PEACOCK!!!"
Guy punched multiple times as flaming projectiles hit the monster\'s body including the mask.
The mask cracked as Guy started falling down together with the monster. Then, he landed on the ground gently as he muttered, "Such is the power of youth."
The monster landed on the ground with a splat as only black goo was left.
"My rival, Kakashi, I shall assist you in your youthful fight."
"It\'s fine. I was about to finish this anyway." Kakashi said as the monster threw some fireballs towards him. He couldn\'t use his Fire Release: Intelligent Hard Work due to Kakuzu being busy and having no time to use hand signs.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet." Kakashi said as he used the hand signs needed for the jutsu and he spat out a jet stream of water.
The water was then shaped like a dragon and it headed towards the monster at high speeds. It broke the mask and Kakuzu only had 2 hearts left.
"Well, I just have to take both of your hearts."
"I\'m sorry but my heart is reserved only for Akihiko." Hinata answered with a large smile as she let out another Eight Trigram: Vacuum Palm.
She looked to the right where Neji and Lee were fighting the Lightning Mask monster. The monster was shooting small lightning bolts from his mouth.
Kakuzu also knew that and he started using some hand signs. However, Hinata and Sakura didn\'t let him.
They attacked him with their own attacks as Sakura canceled the jutsu as she punched Kakuzu\'s hands with an uppercut. Then, Hinata appeared behind him and Kakuzu\'s stitches on the back unstitched themselves.
Lots of threads came out and they all headed towards Hinata in which Sakura shouted, "HINATA!"
Hinata closed her eyes for a split second before she used Gentle Fist: Eight Trigram Palms: Heavenly Revolve.
She began to spin as the chakra emitted from her pressure points all spun around creating a spinning shield. The black threads didn\'t reach Hinata and they all got reflected back to Kakuzu.
Meanwhile, Neji was also using Revolving Heavens to block the lightning bolts of the monster while Lee kicked the monster up in the air.
Lee started yelling several moves as he launched a barrage of attacks on the monster up in the air. Then, he managed to crack the mask with one punch as he fell down.
*Boom*
(End-)
