Chapter 177 The Real Target

Taking advantage of the moment when Minato Namikaze was forced to leave, Kakuzu, who was lying on the ground and completely lifeless, gradually dimmed his green pupils.

But less than a second later, his body suddenly shook.

The transformation from death to life was immediately completed, and behind him, a demon with a khaki mask quickly split out. After the demon clone left the main body, it fell to the ground and the mask on its head was broken.

"The secret technique of Takigakure is really magical."

Minato Namikaze, who was far away, looked at this scene and exclaimed faintly.

"The fourth generation Hokage of Konoha, it seems that you really knew my information a long time ago..."

After resurrecting and slowly standing up, Kakuzu was now facing a great enemy. After gradually remembering all the details of the previous battle, he no longer dared to covet the high bounty offered by Minato Namikaze.

The other party obviously fully understood his immortal secret technique, but he only had a vague understanding of Minato Namikaze's full abilities.

Especially since Minato Namikaze happened to be the melee speed ninja that Kakuzu had the most difficulty dealing with. If he continued to fight, he would not only have no chance of winning, but he might even be defeated here...

The drizzle suddenly began to fall, and Minato Namikaze could not help but look at the sky in surprise, only to find that a cumulonimbus cloud had appeared above his head at some point. The rain in winter was really a bit strange.

Strangely, Kakuzu seemed to be not surprised by the appearance of the rain.

"Kakuzu, a rebel ninja born in Takinin, the outside world calls you a person who lives as long as the heaven and the earth, but in fact, you rely on the secret technique of the earth's resentment to seize other people's hearts."

"Not only do I know your information, I even have a certain understanding of the existence of the organization behind you." Minato Namikaze was a little concerned about the reason why the Akatsuki organization appeared here.

So he wanted to try to see if he could get some words out of him.

Unfortunately, although Kakuzu's expression flashed a hint of surprise, he did not intend to continue the conversation and reveal any news.

He just said cautiously: "Fourth Hokage, I won't give you another chance..."

After that, he suddenly snorted and complained: "Idiot Zaemon, how long are you going to watch the show?"

Just then, seven identical Zaemons from a distance rushed over and quickly surrounded Minato Namikaze, and then retorted together: "Stupid Kakuzu, my ninjutsu needs time to prepare! This place is not the Rain Village!!"

Although he was surrounded, Minato Namikaze would not panic at all, and he actually sensed at the first time that these seven Zaemons were probably just water clones. Although Zaemon's ability has not been fully understood, it is probably far inferior to Kakuzu, so although this battle is one against two, Minato Namikaze has no pressure at all.

In fact, he has been considering whether to spend some effort to eliminate the Kakuzu duo here...

It can be seen that the relationship between Kakuzu and Zaemon's team should not be very good. After Zaemon's water clones came forward to surround him, Kakuzu actually commanded the wind and thunder demon clones to retreat to the side.

"I haven't met an opponent from the Rain Village for many years, let me see it!" Namikaze Minato calmly placed the Flying Thunder God Kunai in his right hand across his chest and once again took an offensive posture.

It was indeed the case in his memory. Namikaze Minato grew up during the Second Ninja World War. At that time, the Rain Village was a participant in the war. The demigod Hanzo led the Rain Village with the peak strength to resist the big countries as a small country, showing no weakness.

Times have changed. In the Third Ninja World War, the Rain Village no longer appeared on the stage of the Ninja World War.

So the last time Namikaze Minato fought against the Rain Ninja in his memory was when he was a Genin...

Since Zaemon had seen Namikaze Minato's unpredictable Flying Thunder God speed before, he had already been paying attention to Namikaze Minato's figure and actions.

Kakuzu was afraid of close combat opponents with speed, but he was not.

After hearing what Minato Namikaze said, Saemon suddenly grinned and said meaningfully: "Rain Village? That's in the past..."

As soon as the voice fell, in the gradually increasing rain, the seven Saemon flashed at a very fast speed and disappeared from the spot. At the same time, they attacked Minato Namikaze in the center. Their speed was so fast that Minato Namikaze was slightly surprised...

Below the rock, the battle was gradually coming to an end.

Although the Shadow Guards were fighting a little hard, the strength of Xiang and Linjiao was obviously much higher than everyone else. Under their efforts, many Langnin mercenaries fell one after another. The enemy obviously discovered this, and the two of them soon faced several of the strongest men on the Langnin mercenaries.

As one side gained strength while the other lost, Xuanjian and the other four ended the battle first.

After observing the battle situation on the field, although some people were worried about Minato Namikaze who was in the midst of the fierce battle on the cliff, after a rational decision, the four decided to support Xiang and Linjiao first.

Whoosh.

Two wind blades barely brushed past Linjiao's face, and one of them even slightly scratched his skin.

As the bloodstains bloomed, the pain naturally came with the invasion of nerves, but Linjiao was an elite ninja who had experienced many battles in the Anbu, and being injured in battle would not affect his mental state at all.

He used his almost extreme physical skills to move instantly, and after dodging the explosive attacks of multiple binding detonating kunai in a row, he finally escaped and landed on a protruding rock.

His first reaction after escaping danger was not to check his wounds, but to tighten the round coffin on his back.

For him, the object behind him was more important than his own life in a sense...

"Tsk tsk, these two Konoha Anbu ninjas are really hard to deal with." Seeing that the joint attack of several people failed to achieve the desired effect, one of the three Wandering Ninja mercenaries who besieged Linjiao frowned and said with a bald man holding a chakra dagger.

The previous wind escape was his attack, and he was also the strongest among the few.

"Boss, the situation doesn't seem to be good. Those who went to deal with the Konoha kid seem to have died..."

On the side of the bald man, another Wandering Ninja mercenary looked at the current battle situation breathlessly. Since the three-on-one attack was still unsuccessful, he inevitably had the idea of ​​retreating.

"Yes, Boss, the leader of this group of Konoha ninjas is probably the fourth Hokage in the rumors. The two powerful guys above seem to have not dealt with the Konoha Hokage until now. What if..."

The other person didn't finish his words, but his meaning was very clear.

If he doesn't get away now, he may not be able to escape later...

The bald man is not stupid. Although bounty hunters live for the bounty, they can only get the bounty if they are alive. The wandering ninjas who have been in the ninja world for a long time are very rational and objective in assessing the risks of the mission.

After a brief hesitation, the bald man gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind to give up this bounty mission.

"Retreat..."

But just after he finished speaking, a contemptuous voice came from the rain: "They are all a bunch of trash, no wonder they can only accept some low-level bounty missions..."

The bald man and the other two heard the words and immediately looked in the direction of the source with indignation.

But the unicorn standing on the rock was shocked when he heard the voice, because the voice was actually beside him.

Almost at the same time, he had the fastest reaction to launch the instant body technique, intending to escape from the enemy who had approached him at some point, and the knife light accompanying the sound was close to him.

With a click, the rope broke.

In the picture, although Lin Jiao successfully escaped, the coffin he was carrying behind him was cut off and left in place.

At the same time, next to the coffin, his attacker finally appeared.

In the increasingly heavy rain, the accumulated water on the ground suddenly condensed and turned into a human figure wearing an Akatsuki robe and a bamboo hat. This figure was naturally Zuoemon.

At this time, Lin Jiao finally reacted. Zuoemon's sneak attack just now was not aimed at him at all.

From the beginning, he actually wanted to seize the coffin with the wooden man behind him.
