Kakuzu cast a wary glance at Satoru Hyūga.

He knew he couldn't engage in close combat.

His Earth Style Hardening Ninjutsu was no match for the other's Magnet Release Hardening Ninjutsu.

He immediately put some distance between them.

Satoru Hyūga's right hand mechanism whirred and transformed into the shape of a cannon barrel, with Lightning Bolt flickering.

Kakuzu was startled. He quickly formed hand seals and slapped his hands on the ground.

"Earth Style! Earth Flow Wall!"

Rock walls shot up from the ground.

They faced the raging Lightning Bolt.

"Lightning Release? This is troublesome. My Earth Style will be countered..."

Kakuzu frowned.

But soon, he was slightly taken aback.

The Earth Flow Wall showed no sign of being penetrated, and the Lightning Bolt attack was blocked.

"Seems like your Lightning Release is quite special. It hardly counters Earth Style."

Kakuzu's eyes gleamed, as if he had discovered a weakness in Satoru Hyūga.

He felt he was one step closer to his goal.

Satoru Hyūga couldn't help but click his tongue slightly.

The ninja world really goes against science.

According to Kishimoto's setting, Lightning Release counters Earth Style. This is the attribute counter - relation between chakra.

But in fact, without considering moisture, only a small amount of organic matter in the soil can conduct electricity, and the resistance is very high.

Otherwise, when Lightning Bolt strikes the ground, you'd be dead even dozens of meters away.

As for the rocks created by Earth Style, it's even more absurd!

The main component of rock is silicon dioxide, a pure insulator.

Unless it's heated to a plasma state where electrons break away from the core, it can't conduct electricity.

Fire Release counters Wind Release, but in nature, there's no absolute counter - relation between the two.

Combustion is a process of energy release that necessarily requires the participation of oxygen.

Wind can bring oxygen, which is so - called combustion support.

It can also briefly cut off oxygen, which is flame retardation.

Most of the abilities used by this clone of Satoru Hyūga belong to the scientific system, with little involvement of chakra.

Sometimes, it conflicts with the mainstream perception in the ninja world.

Satoru Hyūga thought for a moment and carefully evaluated the advantages and disadvantages of the clone's abilities.

The cannon barrel in his right hand wriggled. This time, instead of Lightning Bolt, a blazing laser shot out.

The nano - particles in his body rubbed against each other constantly, generating energy that was transferred to the cannon barrel in his right hand. Along with a high - pitched screech, blazing projectiles were continuously fired.

It could barely be considered an electromagnetic cannon.

It just fired high - temperature ionized plasma.

Misaka Mikoto also used this ability when controlling the Iron Sand giant.

The Earth Style! Earth Flow Wall! was shattered, and shot after shot hit Kakuzu.

Kakuzu was enraged!

"Damn Hyūga brat! You've really pissed me off!"

Except for the Water Style black - silk monster destroyed by Satoru Hyūga, the remaining three all flew to Kakuzu's right arm and Coiling Around one another. The mouths of the three masks all aimed at Satoru Hyūga.

Three attribute abilities burst forth!

They transformed into a terrifying chakra ray!

On the side of Satoru Hyūga, the nanoparticles in his body vibrated extremely fast. The energy generated by their mutual friction was continuously transported to the cannon on his right arm.

He also fired a blazing laser beam in return!

The two beams of light clashed fiercely.

The Daichi evaporated and decomposed under the terrifying energy of the beam clash, forming a Meteorite-like depression.

Satoru Hyūga pouted. The energy of this body was about to run out.

In terms of explosive power, he was ultimately no match for an old Kage-level powerhouse like Kakuzu.

Maybe next time he should stand on the right?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Kakuzu's cannonball had already shot over and penetrated through his lower body.

Kakuzu gasped for breath.

Sweat dripped down his forehead.

"Kid from the Hyūga clan, this is the price of underestimating me."

Three black - silk monster wriggled and returned to his back. One of them was empty, and his mask was broken.

Kakuzu wanted to put on his clothes, but they were in tatters. Even if he put them on, he would still be exposed.

"I didn't expect even my outer coat to be shattered. The last time I had such an exciting fight was probably with that ninja named Chishima!"

"Humph! Kid from the Hyūga clan, I'll take your head!"

Kakuzu walked towards Satoru Hyūga. The Satoru Hyūga hit by his ultimate move had lost his lower body.

"Eh? No blood? It seems it was directly evaporated by the high temperature."

Kakuzu neatly cut off Satoru Hyūga's head and weighed it a few times.

He was very satisfied.

"Sure enough, a head worth 100 million ryo has some weight."

He walked away contentedly.

He planned to exchange it for the bounty.

Not long after, the headless body that was only half left on the Daichi actually wriggled.

Silver Magnetic fluid continuously flowed out from the Daichi and gathered on the body.

Satoru Hyūga twisted his neck.

"To be honest, if it weren't for evolution, I'd even want to modify my main body."

The clone's ability is so practical.

As long as the core is not destroyed, he won't die at all.

If body parts disappear, they can be completely reassembled by disassembling the Magnetic fluid.

Even if he faced a fatal blow, he could split the core and integrate it into the Daichi. Then, when no one was around, he could re-condense.

It's way more practical than Kakuzu's so-called 'immortal body' bullshit.

As for the more precious Magnetic fluid like the Beheading Prison Chop Magnetic fluid, it can be first integrated into the Daichi and replaced with other metal Magnetic fluid.

Or wait for the main body to replenish it.

Most of the steps are done, and now it's just time to get the final pay-off.

The battle with Kakuzu was mainly to test the strength of the clone.

If the Kage-level is divided into three levels: primary, intermediate, and advanced.

A newly-emerged Kage like Rasa could at most be considered primary. The comprehensive strength of his main body is probably between intermediate and advanced.

Kages like the Third Tsuchikage who has the unreasonable Dust Release or the Third Raikage who can beat up the Eight-Tailed Beast are all considered advanced.

Especially the Dust Release, which can decompose objects into atoms without discrimination.

According to Satoru Hyūga's conception, this is an ability of Electromagnetic Force at the atomic level.

Even if he took a direct hit, he would be finished.

This clone's overall strength should barely reach the Kage level.

Mainly, the body made of Magnetic fluid and the undead attribute added too many points.

//Magnet Release//! //ultimate Transformation Technique//!Magnet Release! ultimate Transformation Technique![/b]

Satoru Hyūga's body began to wriggle and actually turned into the appearance of Kakuzu, holding a severed head in his hand, which was his own.

The magnetic fluid can take on any shape. Paired with the Transformation Technique, it's simply invincible!

One imitates the appearance, and the other changes the texture.

As for the weight, as long as it's calculated in advance, there's no Mondai.

"One seems not enough!"

"Well... I only have one chance, so I have to grab as much as possible."

His body began to split, cracking from the middle and turning into four copies of Kakuzu.

They rushed towards the four largest underground black market nearby at top speed.

As long as he timed it right, he could beat Kakuzu...

No, it was to beat the black market's reaction...

Bang!

The door of the underground black market was suddenly pushed open.

A tall figure in a black robe walked in, strutting with an air of arrogance, holding a severed head in his hand.

"What an imposing manner!"

"This decoration, this aura... Could it be the legendary master..."

"It's him! Absolutely right! I once saw him from afar!"

"The man who fought the First Hokage and impressed Rasa, Lord Kakuzu!"

The person in charge of the underground black market greeted him with a beaming smile.

"Oh my! Who would have thought that Lord Kakuzu would come! Has the lord made any new acquisitions recently?"

Kakuzu placed the severed head on the table.

"Hiss!"

Instantly, everyone around gasped in surprise.

"Could this be the well - known ninja with double Kekkei Genkai from Konoha's Hyūga clan who defeated Rasa?"

"Humph! He's just a nobody who can only bully useless guys like Rasa! He's far inferior to Hashirama!"

"I hadn't even taken off my clothes, and he was already defeated!"

"Lord Kakuzu, please allow me to examine it."

The person in charge inspected the severed head excitedly.

The fake Kakuzu sneered inwardly.

No one understands my own head better than me.

Since the first time he went out on a mission alone with Shibi Aburame, he had been involved in the underground black market and even gained the alias of The Silver - Faced Shura.

He was all too familiar with the black market's inspection methods.

"It seems the Byakugan has been damaged, and the mark of the caged bird is fine. The other data also match perfectly..."

"Sure enough, it's his head!"

Hearing what the person in charge said, the surrounding bounty hunters were filled with shock and admiration.

Comments like "He truly is the man who fought the First Hokage", "Lord Kakuzu will become even more famous in the ninja world", "//Male - type Magnet Release//Male - type Magnet Release[/b] is nothing special" and so on kept coming.

Kakuzu walked out contentedly, carrying two large boxes of ryo, amidst the adoration and respect of the crowd.

This scene also happened simultaneously in the other three underground black market nearby.

But because the times were almost exactly the same, no one noticed anything amiss.

It wasn't until the person in charge intended to take a closer look at Satoru Hyūga's head that he was instantly stunned.

"What the hell! It's my own head!"

"Where the hell is my so - big head!"

"Kakuzu! You brute..."

Meanwhile, Kakuzu was still on his way to the third underground black market. He was fuming with anger.

"Kuso! That damn Hyūga brat! He doesn't follow the rules and uses underhanded tactics!"

"He doesn't follow the rules and uses underhanded tactics!"

"He resorted to deception and sneak attacks on an 89 - year - old veteran like me!"

"I, Kakuzu, advise you to act with integrity!"

Halfway through the journey, he found that the head in his hand had suddenly disappeared (physically). Kakuzu was extremely angry, and the consequences were serious.

He immediately ran back to find that young man who didn't follow the rules, but the guy was nowhere to be found.

Kakuzu knew he had been played for a fool. He'd worked his butt off and got nothing in return!

So he stormed back to the underground black market, planning to grab a few unlucky ninjas' heads to vent his anger.

As soon as he entered the underground black market, he noticed that the surrounding ninjas were whispering to each other and staring at him in shock.

"Humph! Are they intimidated by my fame? I'm the man who once fought the First Hokage."

"That Hyūga brat who doesn't follow the rules, don't let me catch you! Act with integrity!"

As he pushed open the door, he saw the person - in - charge's eyes turn red at once. The guy pointed at him, shouting with spittle flying.

"Kakuzu, you still have the nerve to come back!"

"Damn it! Return the money!!!"
