Chapter 429 - THREE AGAINST ONE
"Hmm, why are you still alive? You also still have the strength to talk? This is not scientific!" Hidan yelled.
"You bastard! I will kill you!" Kakuzu shouted.
"Try it! You absolutely won't be able to do it!" Hidan said arrogantly.
Konan who was on the side shouted: "Kakuzu, stop it."
"Why?"
"I'll say it again, our opponent is that guy." Konan pointed to Kakashi and said.
Kakuzu looked over and saw Kakashi standing on the tree, looking at the four people calmly.
Kakashi then said coldly: "Interesting ability. One of them can connect the damage he got to others, and it seems that the other one have a lot of hearts. As expected, Akatsuki is full of weird and strange people. Itachi, it seems that you joined a really interesting organization."
"Kakashi-senpai sure is exaggerating." Itachi responded indifferently.
"Oh? Itachi, I didn't expect you to be familiar with this guy," Kakuzu said.
Itachi didn't answer Kakuzu's question, and Kakuzu was not interested to ask again.
"Hey, don't you guys dare to ignore me!" Hidan yelled.
Itachi looked back at Hidan, and the three black tomoe in his eyes spin slightly.
Genjutsu!
Hidan felt that the sky was spinning for a while, and then he fainted.
"The noisy guy has finally become quiet." Itachi muttered.
When Konan saw this, she secretly thought: "Itachi's strength is terrifying. Even without using Mangekyō's Genjutsu, he defeats Hidan easily."
"As expected of Uchiha Itachi, I am afraid that only a few people in the entire Shinobi World can compare to you in the use of Genjutsu," Kakashi praised.
"Kakashi-senpai overpraised me. I know that senpai's Genjutsu is definitely not under me," he said.
Konan felt her heart shuddered slightly when she heard Kakashi's words.
'Kakashi's Genjutsu is not under Itachi's?'
'How is this possible.'
Although Konan doesn't know much about Itachi, she still knows what level of Itachi's Genjutsu has reached.
It can be said that Konan has never seen a person who can use Genjutsu to a level like Itachi.
'Could it be that this silver-white haired man really has the same skill in Genjutsu as Itachi?'
In fact, although Kakashi's Genjutsu is good, it is still a lot worse compared to Itachi's.
After all, Itachi's left eye's special skill is Tsukuyomi that was in Genjutsu department. As for Kakashi's eye's special skill, it is Kamui which is in Space department.
So it can't be compared to Tsukuyomi at all.
The reason Itachi said this right now is just to highlight Kakashi's strength in front of Konan and Kakuzu.
Moreover, Itachi never use his full strength in the Akatsuki, and has always hidden his true strength.
As an undercover spy, how can he show all of his cards?
"Kakashi of the Sharingan? I wonder how strong you are compared to Senju Hashirama." Kakuzu looked at Kakashi and said coldly.
"Oh? Judging by your tone, it seems that you have once fight against Shodaime-sama." Kakashi said.
"Haha, the first Konoha's Shinobi who fought against me was the Shodaime Hokage." Kakuzu said lightly, but in that tone, there seemed to be a hint of pride hidden.
Indeed, those who can fight with the Shodaime Hokage and stay alive to live the tale can be prideful about it.
After all, this matter is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
"Then you must really have a long life." Kakashi said lightly.
Kakuzu was quite speechless when he heard that. 'Isn't your focus too strange?'
'Shouldn't you say that I am very powerful?'
'At least you should have showed a surprised expression, right?'
'No, he's wearing a mask, so I can't see his expression.'
'At least you should have said it with a surprised tone, right?'
'Why are you so calm about it, you bastard!'
"Anbu Commander, Hatake Kakashi, your mission target this time should not be this guy, right? Then, you don't mind if we take him away, right?" Konan looked at Kakashi and said.
"What if I say I mind?" Kakashi said flatly.
Upon hearing this, the three Akatsuki's members immediately assumed an alert stance.
"Itachi, since we met here, then as Konoha's missing-nin, shouldn't you go back to the village with me to accept your punishments?" Kakashi looked at Itachi and said with a smile.
"Kakashi-senpai, please forgive me for not being able to agree to your request." Itachi said lightly.
It seems that we still have to play one more game." Kakashi said while looking at the three people in front of him.
"You arrogant brat! I will make you regret it!"
Kakuzu said, and his right fist flew out again!
"Tentacle punch!"
Kakashi stay calm, and formed hand seals with both hands!
"Doton: Doryūheki!" (Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall)
A high wall rises from the ground, but it can't stop Kakuzu's fist!
Boom!
Kakuzu's fist has penetrated the earth wall and continued to move towards Kakashi.
Seeing Kakashi frowned, and secretly thought: 'That fist sure is powerful. I am afraid that it is not far from Tsunade-sama 's Chakra Enhanced Strength.'
These thoughts moved in Kakashi's mind, however, Kakashi's movements did not stop.
Using Shunpo, he dodged the fist easily and moved away.
"Kami Shigure!" (Paper Drizzle)
Behind Konan, white wings appeared. If someone looked closely, they will saw that the white wings are made of paper.
At this time, with Konan's soft shout, countless pieces of paper flew out of the wings, flying towards Kakashi.
When Kakashi saw this, the Millennium Sword in his hand was constantly dancing, shredding the pieces of papers flying towards him.
These pieces of papers are filled with Chakra, so they are not weaker than kunai.
When colliding with Kakashi's Millennium Sword, not only the sound of steel clashing rang, but there's also sparks in their collision!
At this moment, Itachi also move!
"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!" (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique)
A huge fireball ejected from Itachi's mouth. With the help of the paper drizzle, the fireball became fiercer!
Kakashi raised his eyebrows upon seeing this. Holding the Millennium Sword with his right hand, he instantly covered it with Chakra.
"White Moon Slash!"
A white crescent moon wave flew out of the blade, directly cutting the huge fireball in half!
"Katon: Zukokku!" (Fire Release: Intelligent Hard Work)
"Fūton: Atsugai" (Wind Release: Pressure Damage)
In a blink of an eye, Kakuzu has summoned a black monster with a white mask.
The two use Ninjutsu together, causing the Ninjutsu to become stronger!
In an instant, the Wind Release and the Fire Release merged with each other, forming a tsunami of flames!
The Millennium Sword in Kakashi's hands started revolving, forming a defense around Kakashi's body.
"Hatake Clan Sword Technique: Return to the Moon!"
The white sword fully protects Kakashi's body, without revealing any gaps.
And that mighty tsunami of flames was completely unable to get close to Kakashi's body.
After the flame dissipated, Kakashi started to look around, and then, he couldn't help but frown.
The surroundings were empty and there was no one there.
Even Hidan is gone.
"They run?" Kakashi murmured.
On the other side, Itachi is carrying the unconscious Hidan, and behind him are Konan and Kakuzu.
"Why do we need to run?" Kakuzu said dissatisfied.
"Now is not the time to confront Konoha, and Kakashi also can use Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique), so we won't be able to corner him. If we continued, we will just wasting our time. And he will also analyze our ability." Konan said lightly.
"Hmph."
Kakuzu coldly snorted and stopped speaking. He also knows that what Konan said is right. Although they only fight for a moment, Kakuzu already knows that Kakashi's strength is by no means under him.
