Chapter 70 Information Advantage
Since the goal was to subdue the enemy rather than engage in a death match, Shiba Kiyokawa chose to use a sealing technique instead of directly destroying the mask.
His sealing techniques are mainly derived from the sealing techniques tips given by the system after killing Aburame Ryoma, and also combined with the Uzumaki clan inheritance provided by Uzumaki Kaoru.
Tadpole-like runes quickly covered Kakuzu's mask, and then he swiftly lost all contact with the lightning mask that had been separated from him!
It was only at this point that Kakuzu truly began to panic.
The other party even knows about the mask as a weakness? Just how many secrets does this kid know?!
"Who are you? You know me?!" he exclaimed in horror.
At this moment, several figures of Shiba Kiyokawa were still moving around him, their lights flickering, and their voices came in layers.
No, this is the first time I've met you.
But I know everything about you!
Kakuzu angrily retorted, "You little devil, you're just playing tricks!"
That's right, Shiba Kiyokawa was indeed playing tricks, but the combination of illusion and information made Kakuzu unable to distinguish the boundary between reality and illusion!
The next moment, the threads on Kakuzu's body burst open further, splitting into even more masks!
But his horror only increased!
When the Akatsuki members who were watching were seeing the Earth Grudge Fear technique for the first time, they were all stunned. However, Shiba Kiyokawa remained calm and composed, as if he was used to it.
Not only that, he also predicted every single move Kakuzu would make next.
"Water Release: Water Curtain!"
"Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"
Kakuzu was utterly shocked!
How did you know the technique I was going to use?
If his lack of fear of Earth Grudge Fear could be excused by his previous understanding of it, then his accurate prediction of the ninjutsu he was about to use could not be explained by mere coincidence!
Although the two masks worked together to successfully crush the brat's three clones, Kakuzu's mood did not improve at all.
Cold sweat trickled down my forehead.
He has begun to doubt reality.
Seeing Shiba Kiyokawa once again use his ghostly speed to rush forward, leaving behind afterimages, he dared not hesitate any longer and immediately used his most prized technique!
But the next moment, Shiba Kiyokawa spoke first again, deliberately lowering his voice and speaking clearly in a deep tone.
"Composite Ninja Technique: Flame Wind Wave!"
At that moment, Jiao Du had a fleeting hallucination, as if he saw his own shadow behind the little devil in front of him, a shadow with all five faces!
"Kid, can you predict the future?!"
At that moment, Kakuzu finally couldn't withstand the pressure, and his pupils widened to their maximum size.
He really couldn't tell them apart!
In a corner of the raging inferno, Shiba Kiyokawa revealed a sinister smile.
When the other party says this, it means that you are only one step away from breaking down their defenses!
The tactics he's using now are exactly the same ones Kakashi used in the original story when he first intellectually crushed Zabuza Momochi in the Land of Waves.
They all use intelligence and illusions to mislead their opponents and amplify their fear of them.
However, Kakashi relied on the Copy Ninjutsu, while he relied on the unpredictable Phantom Body Flicker and accurate prediction!
Who can blame them when Kakuzu has a significant role in the original work? Shiba Kiyokawa knows everything about his techniques and intelligence!
Having waded through the inferno, Shiba Kiyokawa sealed two more masks at close range!
This made him more confident in his subsequent predictions.
Because he knew very well that each of Kakuzu's masks corresponded to a different escape technique!
He has now sealed the masks of Lightning Release, Wind Release, and Fire Release.
Even if you're completely clueless, you'll still have a 50% hit rate.
So the next moment, as he drew his sword and approached, facing Kakuzu's rapidly forming hand seals and then opening his arms, Shiba Kiyokawa spoke again without hesitation.
"Earth Release·Earth Spear!"
As Kakuzu completed his hand seals, he simultaneously shouted, "Earth Release: Earth Spear!"
At that moment, Kakuzu was practically going crazy!
The feeling of having his every move reported in sync with his opponent was like a flying insect caught in a spider web, suffocating and despairing him!
"Ding!"
"when!"
The Earth Spear Technique hardened the angled arm into black, as if imbued with domineering energy, making it as hard as iron and indestructible, perfectly suited for use as a melee weapon.
He swung his arms to block two of Shiba Kiyokawa's swords, thereby creating some distance between them.
Just as he breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to regroup and continue using ninjutsu, Shiba Kiyokawa, who had paused slightly to create an opening, suddenly stepped forward and held the katana to his side.
Sheathing the sword at the waist, stepping to the side in a lunge position, and leaning the upper body slightly forward—a perfect starting position for a rising dragon punch!
"Wind Release: Triple Wind Breath!"
This was the first time Shiba Kiyokawa had launched an attack since the start of the war, which only amplified Kakuzu's fear.
Because Kakuzu didn't see him form any hand seals!
At that moment, the shadow behind Shiba Kiyokawa began to fluctuate and transform again.
The phantom of Kakuzu himself blurred, finally solidifying into the figure that Kakuzu would never forget for the rest of his life—
That figure who never makes hand seals, but can summon whatever he calls out with just a clap of his hands!
"You—" Kakuzu screamed in alarm, finally breaking down completely.
The blade flashed, and a fierce wind howled!
After these days of refinement and development, Shiba Kiyokawa's self-created ninjutsu has become even stronger!
As the wind stopped, Kakuzu's Earth Release mask shattered!
At this point, he only had one mask left.
"Wait!" He finally couldn't hold back any longer and reached out to stop the duel.
Shiba Kiyokawa smiled slightly and quietly ended his illusion.
Any afterimages or illusions are simply effects produced by his illusions.
He knew all too well what Kakuzu's nightmare was.
It's a pity that Kakuzu stopped too early, otherwise he could have produced more information on Hashirama Senju's genjutsu restoration.
No wonder Kakuzu, at his age, was still completely fooled by illusions.
Firstly, Shiba Kiyokawa's illusions never involve direct killing, making them less likely to arouse suspicion;
Secondly, and most importantly, Kakuzu never imagined that Shiba Kiyokawa would know about Senju Hashirama!
This brat shouldn't have even been born when that god of the ninja world passed away!
Shiba Kiyokawa has taken full advantage of the informational advantage of time travelers to the extreme this time!
"Aren't you going to fight anymore?"
Even after finishing the fight, Shiba Kiyokawa remained calm and composed.
May my adornments be like the wind, always by my side!
They completely fooled Kakuzu.
"Kid, how...how did you do that?"
Kakuzu still finds it unbelievable even now.
Shiba Kiyokazu smiled mysteriously, without giving a direct answer.
"Want to know? Then join our cause! Don't you want to see the scenery that the God of Shinobi once saw?"
Kakuzu remained silent for a long time without saying a word.
He never expected things to turn out this way before he arrived.
Before today, if someone had told him that a brat from the Land of Rain dared to mess with the God of the Ninja World, he would have sewed that person's mouth shut and ripped out their heart.
But now, he is wavering!
It was unbelievable even to himself.
After a long silence, he asked, "If I join you, can I manage the money?"
Shiba Kiyokazu smiled.
"Can."
