Kai turned his head and looked at Zabuza, tilting his head with a confused look on his face.

“No, we didn’t meet in our lifetime. But a strong man like you is certainly not unknown. Your name is in the manual I carry with me.”

Zabuza said in a deep voice:

“But you must have heard of me. I am Zabuza Momochi, the one feared by the world and called ‘Demon Man’.”

“No more killing?”

Akai looked like he was thinking hard. He scratched his face and shook his head after a long while.

“I’m sorry, I have no impression of that at all.”

“It’s Kijin Zabuza!”

“Will you kill me again?”

Veins bulged on Zabuza’s forehead, but seeing that Akai was genuine and didn’t mean it, he could only suppress his anger.

You actually pronounced my name wrong twice in front of me. How bad are you at remembering other people’s names?

“I am Zabuza, the demon who fought Kakashi to a draw!” Zabuza tried to correct Kai’s way of addressing him for the third time.

“Oh, oh, oh, why didn’t you say that earlier?”

Akai then clapped his hands together, showing a look of sudden enlightenment, and said excitedly:

“You are the Seven Ninja Swordsmen who were killed by Kakashi, right?”

“Madman Akai, before we start fighting, I have something to ask you.”

Momochi Zabuza gave up correcting Kai who had called him by the wrong name. He pointed his right index finger at his temple and said:

“When you were summoned to this city, you should have been indoctrinated with the basic common sense of the human world and the rules of this death game, just like me.”

“How much do you know about this death game?”

“That’s the only magic that can summon us dead people from the underworld to the world of the living, right?” Akai pondered for a moment and then said slowly.

“Taishan Lord’s Sacrifice.”

Zabuza Momochi and Kai said in unison.

After recovering some strength, Heitie Huisan barely got up from the ground, sat on the ground, and gasped heavily.

But when he heard the words “Taishan Lord Sacrifice”, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

“Sacrifice to the Lord of Mount Tai?”

After the Asakusa Incident three years ago, Taishan Fujun suddenly became famous and feared all over the world, and was recognized by the Japanese government as the guardian deity of the country.

Taishan Fujun regained his status as the national high deity that was deposed during the Meiji Restoration, and even surpassed it.

Because Taishan Fujun is one with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Yama King, Japan’s Obon Festival (Central Ghost Festival) has also become a grand ceremony to worship Taishan Fujun since Reiwa 5.

At this time every year, the Japanese government holds a grand Taishan Fujun Festival, attracting diplomatic envoys from all over the world to watch the ceremony.

In the revised Japanese textbooks, the miracles of the Lord of Mount Tai are naturally written about in great detail.

Abe no Haruaki, who was closely related to him and was said to be able to use the Taishan Fujun Festival, became even more famous, and even children were familiar with him.

“Is it really the Taishan Lord Festival? This is a supreme secret technique that can revive the dead, but our current state is neither a soul nor a living person, but another mysterious state.”

Momochi Zabuza raised his palm and clenched it a few times.

“But he is too weak, not even one tenth of his strength in life, and he is controlled by such little ghosts. He can only fight through their bodies.”

Momochi Zabuza glanced at Noro, who immediately lowered his head respectfully, not daring to look him in the eye.

Then Zabuza Momochi looked at Akai with a cold and murderous look in his eyes.

“According to the contract, as long as you kill the other competitors who are also dead, you can truly come back to life!”

Only Heitie Huisan, who was affected, felt like he had fallen into an ice cave and was almost unable to move.

What a terrible murderous aura!

Even a young man like me who is inexperienced in the world knows that this weirdo called Zabuza is definitely an evil ghost who kills people without hesitation.

“By the way, don’t you think this Taishan Lord Festival is too suspicious? Even if there is only one person left, can he really be resurrected from the dead?”

Akai spread out his hands, shook his head and said:

“If we kill each other like this, it will only play into the hands of the mastermind behind this.”

“What you said makes some sense, but I still have to take this opportunity to kill you, otherwise it will be difficult when you recover.”

Momochi Zabuza sneered, his whole body began to fade away, and he drilled into Noro’s body.

The next second, Noro’s face became as cold as a demon, and black air surged all over his body.

“Tsk, my beheading sword is not in my hand, so I can only use this broken knife to make do.”

The voice of Momochi Zabuza came from Noro’s mouth.

He opened his sword bag and took out a one-meter-long katana. He drew the sword out of its sheath. The blade was shining coldly and was already sharpened.

“Become my stepping stone, Akai.”

“Young man, can you lend me your body?” Akai turned his head and asked.

“Please go ahead, Mr. Akai!” Kurotsuchi Huisan replied without hesitation.

Noro’s current state is similar to that of a spirit possessing him, and he is full of murderous intent. Now that things have come to this, only Mr. Akai can save his life.

“Mr. Akai, be careful!”

There is a high wall between unarmed and armed.

According to Kurogane Teruzo’s fighting experience, the danger level of an armed opponent instantly increases by several orders of magnitude.

Even martial arts masters have been stabbed to death by gangsters with daggers.

“I see!”

Akai’s figure overlapped with Heitie Huisan, and then Heitie Huisan sensed a stream of burning energy gushing out from his dantian and flowing through his limbs and bones.

The pain on the body, which was originally covered with scars, was reduced a lot.

Kurogane Huisan found that his body uncontrollably climbed up from the ground and took an unfamiliar starting stance.

“bring it on.”

“Akai, I know you are an expert in physical skills. It is really dangerous to get close to you like this.”

Momochi Zabuza clenched his hands, then raised one hand:

“Ninjutsu: Mist Hidden Technique!”

A wave of fog rose from under Momochi Zabuza’s feet, and in an instant, it rolled and spread towards the Kobe Bridge.

The fog got thicker.

It was already late at night, and everything was pitch black. The fog was so thick that even the lights on the Kobe Bridge couldn’t penetrate.

Kurogane Huisan was shocked. The sea fog he encountered before was not naturally formed, but created by Zabuza to deceive others.

“Throat, spine, lungs, liver… carotid artery and subclavian vein… kidneys, heart…”

Zabuza Momochi’s deep voice, like the cry of a ghost, floated in from all directions.

“Eight places. Let me ask you, which one do you want me to attack? Hehe…”

Kurogane Huisan’s consciousness is like that of a spectator. Although he no longer has control over his body, he can still perceive everything in the outside world through his five senses.

The Kobe Bridge was filled with white fog, greatly obstructing the view.

Suddenly, a katana suddenly emerged from the mist and stabbed towards Akai from behind the head at a strange angle.

“Konoha’s powerful whirlwind!”

Kai seemed to have anticipated this and performed a spinning kick with amazing speed and strength, sending Zabuza Momochi flying.

It flew backwards into the thick fog, and the sound suddenly disappeared, leaving the Kobe Bridge in silence.

While he was hesitating, a cold light flashed, and a knife light came slashing towards him sharply and viciously.

Akai jumped up and down, and suddenly leaped backwards, thus avoiding being cut in half.

But even so, there was a cut on Akai’s right arm, and blood was dripping.

“The movements are too slow! The so-called taijutsu master is only at this level. A kick doesn’t hurt at all.”

Momochi Zabuza’s voice was floating in the mist, sometimes left, sometimes right, sometimes up, sometimes down.

“But you are a strong man on par with Kakashi. You can’t be this weak. It’s because the little ghost you possessed is weak and is holding you back too much.”

Heitie Huisan’s heart sank.

Indeed, as both of them were possessed hosts, there was a huge difference in physical fitness between himself and that bastard Noro, not to mention that he now had debuffs such as hunger, weakness, and pain.

“I’m the one who dragged Mr. Akai down!” Heitie Huisan thought guiltily.

Akai said nothing, glanced down, picked up the bandage that Noro had torn off earlier, and wrapped the wound on his hand.

“You still want to bandage the wound now? There will be more injuries in the future, and there will be no need for death.”

Zabuza Momochi hid in the mist and insidiously attacked eight vital points on Kai’s body from various angles.

Although Akai often dodges flexibly at the critical moment, he still has several wounds on his body.

“It’s really hard, isn’t it? This kid’s weak body is totally incapable of displaying your expertise in physical skills. I’m different. My vessel is much more suitable than yours.”

“Compared to physical strength, I still admire young people with youthful enthusiasm more.”

Wiping the blood from the wound on his cheek, Akai said calmly:

“Although I have seen many bastards, the one you picked who is completely insulated from youth is also a rare scum.”

“Well, as long as the tool is handy and easy to use, it’s fine.”

Zabuza Momochi wandered in the mist, and his voice naturally followed suit.

“Akai, you always manage to dodge my attacks at the last moment. It seems that the Mist Hidden Technique cannot completely block your vision. In this case, how will you deal with it?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the fog on the Kobe Bridge fell on it like a thick cloud.

If he could barely see one step ahead before, now it is pitch dark.

“Even if it’s the Mist Hiding Technique, the fog is so thick… you won’t be able to see it.”

“I am a genius who uses silent killing techniques and can lock onto a target with just sound.”

Momochi Zabuza’s voice was faint and inaudible in the thick fog until it completely disappeared.

“Next time you see me, everything will be over… Goodbye, Akai…”

The Kobe Bridge suddenly fell into an unspeakable silence.

However, the murderous aura surging from the east, west, south and north made Kurogane Teruzo’s skin covered with goose bumps. He had no idea where Zabuza Momochi’s fatal blow would come from.

Even if it’s a moment to blink, he might seize the opportunity and kill you.

Fortunately, Mr. Akai is the one who is in control of the body now, otherwise I would have collapsed to the ground and been at the mercy of others.

However, the current situation is too bad. Can Mr. Akai really find a way to break it?

“Young man, in this state, I can hear what you are thinking.”

“I’m sorry, Mr. Akai…” Kurotsuchi Teruzo quickly apologized.

“But you are right. The situation is not favorable to us now.”

Akai’s voice sounded a little distressed: “I have a way to pull out the No Longer Slash in the mist, but I can’t defeat him with fists as light as before.”

Kurotetsu Huisan’s heart moved: “Mr. Akai, do you mean… a special move?”

“Yes, I can deliver a fatal blow, but your body may not be able to withstand it. There is a 50% chance that you will die on the spot. Even so, do you still want to use it, young man?”

“Ha, Mr. Akai, we are fighting for our lives now. There is a 50% chance of winning, so why not use it?”

Although it sounded extremely dangerous, Kurogane Huisan smiled with relief.

“How can I miss the chance to beat up that bastard Noro’s arrogant face? Please use me!”
