199. Who Says a Person Can Only Pilot One Susanoo?
Kakuzu swiftly formulated his next combat strategy based on Danzo's performance.
With a frantic writhing of the Earth Grudge Fear beneath his skin, the two masks on his shoulders quickly separated.
Countless black lines surged out from the sutures, attaching themselves to the masks and forming two terrifying black monsters on Kakuzu's left and right.
Not only that, but he also unleashed two additional masks in one breath.
One was a water-attribute mask beast, and the other was a lightning-attribute mask beast.
As for the earth-attribute mask, which had the strongest defense, he kept it within his body to guard against any possible contingencies.
The four attribute masks formed four black monsters of varying sizes and shapes.
The water-attribute mask beast was the first to launch an attack.
"Water Release: Water Curtain!"
The high-pressure water jet spewed from its mouth, rotating at high speed as it hurtled towards Danzo.
"Planning to use long-range attacks against me?"
Danzo saw through the opponent's intentions at a glance.
"In that case..."
The Mangekyo Sharingan in his eyes slowly rotated.
Danzo did not choose to continue using Susanoo to withstand the attack.
He had a better way to deal with this kind of attack.
Facing the powerful water jet that could split mountains and cleave the earth, Danzo dispelled Susanoo and slowly raised his palm.
This move left Kakuzu thoroughly bewildered.
But since he had already made his move, there was no reason to stop.
Under his control, the water jet crashed down.
Danzo's face remained calm as he gently pressed his palm against the incoming water jet.
"Preta Path: Absorption."
In an instant, the Six Paths-level ability from the Rinnegan absorbed Kakuzu's attack completely.
Not a single droplet of water remained in the air!
It seemed as if the water jet had vanished into thin air!
This situation left Kakuzu, a veteran shinobi with decades of combat experience, stunned in place.
"Capable of some kind of absorption jutsu? No wonder you're the Darkness of the Shinobi, truly a tough opponent!"
Kakuzu's tone was extremely grave.
But his extensive combat experience told him that no jutsu in this world was perfect.
Danzo's ability must have its own drawbacks.
As for where these drawbacks lay, Kakuzu needed more probing.
Thus, it was time for the lightning-attribute mask to take the stage.
"Lightning Release: False Darkness!"
Dazzling electric light brewed in the mask's mouth, and ultimately, it transformed into a lightning spear with a sharp electric glow, piercing through the air!
And this was not a single attack, but a continuous, high-frequency assault.
Like a machine gun, one lightning spear followed another, leaving no time to react.
Most fatally, each strike had the power of an elite jounin's full-force attack!
For a moment, the battlefield was filled with flashing electric light and thunderous roars.
Under the flashing lightning, Danzo's response remained as simple and unadorned as ever.
He held his palm out flat, allowing the lightning spears to strike the center of his palm one after another.
These sharp lightning spears disappeared the moment they touched his palm!
Danzo's palm was like a bottomless pit, a pit that no amount of lightning could fill!
"Lightning Release doesn't work either, and this ability has no cooldown time."
The more Kakuzu analyzed, the more cold sweat he broke out in.
Indeed, the reason he used high-frequency Lightning Release attacks was mainly to test the cooldown time of Danzo's ability.
Unfortunately, it seemed that it could be used continuously.
"So next is, attacks of other attributes."
Kakuzu narrowed his eyes, and the two monsters on his left and right let out silent roars.
"Wind Release: Wind Blades!"
The wind-attribute mask monster spat out wind blades, but the result was the same; they were blocked by Danzo.
Next, the fire-attribute mask monster vomited out a sea of fire, still to no avail.
"The weakness is not in the attribute, then?"
After the flames dissipated, the surrounding air was still filled with heat, causing irritation.
Especially Kakuzu, who was facing Danzo.
He never expected that his strongest attack methods would be thwarted one by one by Danzo.
He was tempted to try attacking with a Kekkei Genkai.
Unfortunately, he had not collected any bloodline limit hearts.
"How about it, do you need to continue probing?"
Danzo slowly lowered his palm, placed his other hand on the tantou at his waist, and asked calmly.
The water jets, lightning spears, wind blades, and sea of fire from just now left no trace on him.
Danzo's face was full of calmness, and his performance put immense pressure on Kakuzu.
And this was precisely the effect Danzo wanted to achieve.
Only by gradually crushing all of Kakuzu's proud attack methods and defeating him with an overwhelming posture could Danzo possibly bring this great general into his ranks!
To be honest, if Kakuzu had used Earth Release jutsu, Danzo might not have been able to remain so nonchalant.
The sense of pressure he created would probably have been greatly diminished.
Because the vast majority of Earth Releases utilize chakra to attack through the ground or rocks.
These things that already exist in nature, Danzo could not absorb.
Fortunately, a long life had cultivated a very conservative and cautious combat style in Kakuzu.
Whether in the original story or now, Kakuzu's earth-attribute mask was mainly used for defense.
Its specific function was to use Earth Release to create earth spears, further hardening his body and enhancing his defensive capabilities.
Therefore, his face turned somber, unable to probe Danzo's weaknesses.
"Damn it, in the end, it seems I can only decide the outcome through close combat?"
To be fair, Kakuzu's close combat skills were definitely top-notch.
The transformation ability of Earth Grudge Fear made his offensive methods quite diversified.
The defense capability brought by Earth Release: Earth Spear was like adding wings to a tiger.
But the Wind Release that Danzo had just displayed was far too intimidating for Kakuzu.
Moreover, Kakuzu had a gut feeling.
This guy in front of him probably had some kind of one-hit kill technique.
However, things had come to this pass, and he could only give it a shot.
After making up his mind, the four black mask monsters beside Kakuzu stomped on the ground in unison!
The immense force caused them to leap high into the air, like bullets crashing towards Danzo.
"Finally, it's down to close-quarters combat, huh?"
Faced with the incoming four monsters, Danzo slowly drew his tantou and imbued it with Wind Release chakra.
The next second, the monsters descended from the sky!
The tremendous weight caused the ground to tremble.
To be honest, although these monsters were large in size, their speed was far from fast.
The Sharingan could easily capture their movements.
"Enough probing."
Danzo spoke softly.
The three tomoe in his eyes connected once again.
At the same time, he removed the bandage covering his other eye.
The terrifying power of his eyes burst forth like a tidal wave in an instant.
Next, he was going to let Kakuzu feel what true power was!
The four black monsters launched attacks on Danzo from different directions.
A green giant rose from among them.
Under Danzo's control, this Susanoo giant displayed remarkable agility.
It was completely different from the situation just now, where he could only passively take the beating in the encirclement!
It was as if he had become a completely different person!
He effortlessly blocked the punches of the black monsters and countered with a heavy punch to the face of the water-attribute monster!
This punch carried a lot of weight.
After all, these black monsters were a whole size smaller than Susanoo.
It looked like an adult hitting a child.
The terrifying force that erupted directly sent it flying.
Seeing this, the lightning-attribute mask monster behind Danzo quickly opened its mouth, and a large amount of lightning began to condense inside.
But Danzo's vision was 360 degrees without any blind spots, and he noticed this in the first place.
Thus, as the green giant turned around, it opened its ribcage.
The next second, countless green light arrows poured out from it like a heavy rain.
The lightning-attribute monster, covered by the light arrows, was instantly suppressed, and the lightning in its mouth also dissipated.
The other two mask monsters prepared to support on the left and right, but they were both blocked by Susanoo.
Taking this opportunity, Danzo leaped out directly.
He left Susanoo.
The Water Body Flicker Technique obtained from Hanzo once again shone brightly.
The moment the light arrows stopped, Danzo immediately appeared in front of the lightning-attribute mask monster.
In an instant, with a flash of white blade light.
The dark blue mask on the monster's head was instantly cut in two!
Although Kakuzu was known as the Immortal Ninja.
In fact, he still had weaknesses.
That is these masks.
The monsters created by Earth Grudge Fear, their core lies in these masks.
In other words, these masks are actually Kakuzu's 'hearts'.
It's just that he has five such hearts!
And he can extend his lifespan by constantly replacing hearts.
And the moment the lightning-attribute mask was severed by Danzo, it meant that Kakuzu had already lost one life.
However, Kakuzu did not sit idly by.
While Danzo used Susanoo to pin down two monsters, didn't Kakuzu also use two monsters to pin down Susanoo?
Thus, the moment Danzo severed the mask, Kakuzu, who had the earth-attribute heart, launched another attack from underground.
This time he did not engage in close combat, but manipulated the Earth Grudge Fear to emerge from the ground, surrounding Danzo from all directions.
Just now, due to the height difference, Danzo could only leap to kill the mask monster.
Therefore, at this moment, his state was in mid-air.
That is to say, Danzo, surrounded by countless Earth Grudge Fear, had no foothold to borrow force for evasion.
As for using the Paper Release to create wings to fly into the sky, it seemed a bit too slow now.
Kakuzu would not give him this opportunity.
It seemed that Danzo had already fallen into a dead end.
As long as the Earth Grudge Fear firmly entangled the opponent, victory would surely belong to him.
Although, Kakuzu still felt uneasy in his heart.
He clearly had the upper hand, but he felt that it was not that simple...
His worry was confirmed in the next second.
Danzo's lips curled up.
"Is it a trap after all?"
With his 'X-ray vision', he had long discovered the preparations Kakuzu had made underground. Therefore, this time he naturally came prepared.
"But who told you that a person can only pilot one Robot?"
Although Kakuzu did not understand Danzo's words, it did not prevent him from feeling an astonishing killing intent locking onto himself.
In Kakuzu's incredulous gaze, a large amount of light blue chakra surged out from Danzo's body.
In front of him, it formed a new Susanoo giant!
Countless black lines like steel cables quickly converged.
The Earth Grudge Fear, which was originally enough to wrap Danzo into a dumpling, now seemed like some kind of special play, tied to Susanoo's arm.
Seeing this scene, Kakuzu's first reaction was to run!
This was also the main reason why he could survive under the First Hokage.
The main point was to follow his heart.
So he immediately used Earth Release jutsu and drilled into the deeper underground without looking back.
But how could Danzo let this big fish, which had finally taken the bait, go?
A huge blue chakra orb was brewed inside the blue giant in the first moment.
This orb was as big as an adult.
Danzo held it with his hand, and then used the Byakugan to firmly lock Kakuzu, who had dived underground.
"It's over."
The orb spun down at an extremely fast speed.
The next second, the terrifying white light directly swallowed the entire battlefield.
The ground where Kakuzu was hiding melted like butter under this fierce impact and disappeared in an instant!
