Chapter 465: The Heartfelt Father-in-Law

Deep in the dense forest where few people go, a huge arhat with a solemn and precious appearance stands there, with one hand pressing down in the air, as if doing something to save the world.

Moving his eyes downward, he saw a flickering golden light under the wooden man’s broad palm.

humming—

With a crisp snapping sound, the light under the wooden man’s palm completely dimmed. After it moved away, the moonlight cast down, illuminating a broken body embedded in the ground.

“ended.”

Number 7, who was standing on top of the wooden man, raised his hand expressionlessly, and a seed emitting a rotten smell quietly grew in his palm.
“Well”

Kakuzu, whose consciousness was close to collapse, looked at the man on top of the wooden man with despair in his eyes, blood gushing out of his mouth.
“How can I?”

At this moment, Kakuzu has transformed into his strongest Emperor Sword form, but in front of No. 7 who has activated State 2, the final form that once overpowered Uchiha Madara is obviously still not enough.

All the Earth Grudge cards embedded in his body were shattered, and his golden heavy armor was covered with dense cracks. Countless scarlet blood flowed out from the cracks, gathering under Kakuzu’s body, turning into a pool of despair as a backdrop.

His companion weapon, the Reawakening Sword, was also broken by the terrifying magical power. Half of the broken sword was stuck in the open space more than ten meters away from him. The clearly visible fist marks on the sword seemed to tell others how terrible the torture it had just experienced.

“Laodu, stop struggling. He doesn’t want to kill you.”

In his sea of ​​consciousness, the weak Shigeaki spoke out to dissuade Kakuzu who was about to stand up again.
The Diyuanyu mask on his body has been completely destroyed. If the fight continues, he might really die.

“If you don’t want my life, then you want my money!”

Since they don’t want to kill people, the only thing they can do is to make money.

Kakuzu, whose consciousness was already becoming blurred, woke up instantly after hearing Chongming’s words. Looking at No. 7 who was slowly walking towards him, driven by money, he endured the pain in his body and slowly got up.

“you idiot!”

Chongming was immediately furious. He could clearly feel that the Senju Hashirama who attacked him was showing mercy, otherwise he could have sucked him dry with just the Wood Release technique. Why would he have gone to so much trouble to cripple him instead of killing him?

“Ok?”

Seeing Kakuzu standing up again, a trace of suspicion flashed across No. 7’s cold face.
The other empty hand was raised forward, a green light flashed, and countless branches instantly broke out of the ground, tied up the defenseless horns tightly, and hung them upside down in front of No. 7.
“I tell you I have no money, and no life either!”

Kakuzu, who was completely weakened by the Wood Release, gritted his teeth and said,

But No. 7 had no intention of paying any attention to him. After looking him over, he slapped his left hand and implanted the seed into Kakuzu’s heart.
“Ahhh!”

He felt a tearing sensation in his chest and screamed in agony. He could clearly sense that countless roots were spreading in his blood vessels and would eventually wrap around his living heart.

“The implant was successful.”

After successfully planting the spores of the sacred tree, a hint of smugness appeared on No. 7’s expressionless face.

I must be the first one among all the clones to successfully harvest the fruits.

“what did you do to me?”

Kakuzu felt his heart tighten when he found that the tailed beast’s chakra in his body was being plundered by the roots in his heart at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“.”

However, facing Kakuzu’s questioning, No. 7 remained unmoved.
In No. 7’s eyes, Kakuzu was just the soil used to cultivate chakra fruits. After the harvest, only death would await him.

“You bastard, I…”

Unexpectedly, the other party ignored him again and again. Kakuzu clenched his fists and prepared to fight back.

“Laodu, don’t be impulsive. As long as you have the green mountains, you will not be short of firewood.”

Chongming, who realized the situation, continued to dissuade him, saying that Kakuzu was a human that he got along well with, and he didn’t want to lose him just like that.

“call”

In the end, Kakuzu chose to endure, temporarily gave up resistance, and thought about how to escape.

“Bata~”

At this moment, due to the falling, the backpack on Kakuzu’s back, which had already been in tatters, finally fell to the ground, and countless small items were scattered all over the ground.
There are rusty kunai, frayed scrolls, and long-expired military pills.
“Clang~”

One of them happened to fall in front of the upside-down Kakuzu.
It was an evil god-themed figure with extremely poor modeling and painting, but based on its general appearance, one could still tell that it had some of the spirit of the Seven-Tailed Knight.

It was this birthday toy that Jiaodu had bought for his godson at a discount stall at a high price.

“Little Wing.”

Looking at the toys he had carefully selected, Kakuzu’s desire to survive suddenly exploded.
For the sake of his grandson’s smile, he must live on.

“Crack!”

The next second, a big foot stepped on the figure, and the crisp sound of breaking could be clearly heard.

“Uh what garbage?”

Number 7 lowered his head in confusion, looking at the figurine that had broken into three pieces at his feet. He kicked it aside expressionlessly, then reached out and grabbed Kakuzu’s head, and began to absorb the endless amount of Tailed Beast Chakra in his body.
Doing so can effectively stimulate the activity of the tailed beast chakra in Kakuzu’s body, allowing the spores to bear fruit sooner.

As Kakuzu was being sucked wildly, his mind went blank at this moment. His green eyes under the mask stared straight at the figurine that was broken into three pieces, and the pent-up anger in his heart burst out.

“You! Did! What!?!”

hiss-

“what?”

Number 7, who was absorbing the Seven-Tails’ chakra, showed a look of surprise for the first time on his cold face. He looked at Kakuzu who suddenly broke free from the Wood Release and grabbed his head with both hands. His eyes suddenly lost their luster.

“Boom!”

Just like that, the furious Kakuzu took control, held down No.7’s confused head, and pressed it hard into the wet soil.
“That’s a discounted toy I bought from a Uzumaki merchant for 3000 taels. How dare you…”

Kakuzu, blinded by anger, burst out with extraordinary strength, grabbed No.7 from the mud and unleashed a series of punches that made the opponent dizzy.

“Ola Ola Ola.”

“No, Laodu, so you were playing me before?”

Looking at Kakuzu’s supermodel operation, Chongming in his sea of ​​consciousness was a little suspicious of Shousheng. When did this guy become so brave?

“Give! Me! Ten! Times! Compensation!”

Kakuzu became more and more excited as the fight went on. He concentrated all his strength on his right fist, aimed at No.7’s face, and shouted out his demands.

Just as Chongming was about to turn into a cheerleader and cheer for the explosive Kakuzu,

Sudden changes occur,

“Ta~”

I saw that No. 7, who had no power to resist just now, raised his hand and easily blocked Kakuzu’s punch. A look of contempt appeared on his face, which was unharmed.
“Have you beaten enough?”

“Forehead”

Looking at the other person’s nonchalant expression in disbelief, Kakuzu suddenly felt a little shaky.
“Ah.”

The corner of Number 7’s mouth, which had become somewhat more human, curled up slightly, and he punched Kakuzu’s lower abdomen hard with his fist wrapped in a strange blue force.

Deliberate punch!

“puff!”

A huge force entered his body, and even with the protection of heavy armor, Kakuzu still vomited bitter bile. He flew backwards and knocked down several big trees that required several people to hug along the way.

“Cough cough cough” Kakuzu, who fell to the ground, was bathed in blood. His green eyes had lost their previous luster and his whole body’s breath dropped to freezing point. If it weren’t for Chongming’s hard work in transmitting chakra, he would have died long ago.

“Is this what evolution feels like?”

Number Seven was not in a hurry to punish the restless Kakuzu. Instead, he looked around with curiosity. His absent-mindedness just now was only because he was undergoing a transformation.

After digesting a massive amount of the tailed beast’s chakra, he seemed to have awakened his intelligence. There was no longer just the word “mission” in his mind, but more of a desire for unknown things.

“Your life is temporarily in your hands.”

Fixing his gaze on the dying Kakuzu, No. 7 said something incomprehensible, then turned around and prepared to leave.

He learned from the failures of several previous experimental subjects and planted the spores in the opponent’s vital points. Unless Jiao could give up his heart, his fruit would bear fruit sooner or later.

Right now, rather than torturing the other party to ripen the fruit, what he wants to do more is to understand this world and understand human beings.

Thus, becoming human.

“Ta~”

Number 7, who had just taken a step forward, suddenly looked up with a sense of something, and saw a scarlet figure flashing by under the dim moonlight.

He subconsciously raised his hands to defend himself, and another gray figure jumped out from the dense forest. In a flash, a big hand pressed on his chest.
“Send a broken palm!”

boom–

The Fa Po Zhang, as his unique physical skill after being immersed in the Divine Fire for many years, has been practiced by him to perfection. The force it releases is in no way weaker than the Thousand Hands clan’s super-powerful punch.

“Well!”

Number Seven frowned with a slight pain, raised his hands and chopped them down quickly. The strange power condensed in his palms was enough to kill an ordinary person if they touched it.

However, the moment he swung his sword, a scarlet light flashed across the sky again.
“Big Cut!”

Mako transformed into an Amazon, swung her arm blade, and smashed it hard on the wide-open head of No. 7, causing a stream of blood to spurt out.

Shenhuo took the opportunity to distance himself from him and ran towards the unconscious Kakuzu.

“Father-in-law!”

The tragic scene before him made Shenhuo’s heart tighten. He had never seen Jiaodu in such a miserable state. All the exquisite carvings on his body were broken. Blood seeped out through the cracks in the heavy armor. The red compound eyes on the visor had lost their spirit.

If it weren’t for the slightly heaving chest, he would have been ready to go home and start the feast.

“Boom!”

Unfortunately, he didn’t have much time to be shocked. He saw a figure passing by and fell heavily on a protruding rock slab not far away.

“Mako! Are you okay?”

Seeing his wife defeated so quickly, Shenhuo immediately picked up Kakuzu’s remaining body and retreated.

“again?”

In the distance, No. 7, whose clothes were only slightly dirty, twisted his slightly painful neck and looked at the guys who suddenly disrupted the situation with curious eyes.

“Isn’t it a tailed beast?”

Especially Mako, who exuded a tyrannical aura. He carefully identified him, but found that the power of his transformation did not come from their target, so he lost interest.

“who are you!?”

The couple stood back on the same front, looking at the indifferent No. 7 vigilantly. Under the continuous bombardment of their ultimate moves, the opponent was unharmed. Who was he?
“Ahem, ahem, Mako, run away.”

Under the pull of the divine fire, Kakuzu slowly woke up. Looking at the couple who came to support him, he felt a warm feeling in his heart, but it soon turned into anxiety.
“He is Hashirama Senju, you are no match for him.”

“The Ninja God?”

How could a husband and wife not know the title of the best in the world when they travel around the world?

But even though they knew they were about to face the strongest man in the ninja world, the two men still gritted their teeth and stood in front of Kakuzu, their backs wet with sweat from nervousness.

“You still have Xiaoyi, don’t do anything stupid for me.”

Seeing that the two were unmoved, Kakuzu became very anxious. He forced himself to stand up, put his hands on their shoulders, and tried to comfort them earnestly.
“Father, what nonsense are you talking about? How could we possibly give up on you!”

Mako turned around, and even through the visor, Kakuzu could feel the determination in the other’s eyes.

“Yes, we are a family.”

Shenhuo showed a self-proclaimed handsome smile and gave Kakuzu a thumbs-up.

“You two idiots.”

Seeing this scene, Kakuzu only felt the warmth of the corpse. Since his family left, he had never felt such a strong family love.
With the blessing of the family bond, Kakuzu felt that he had strength again, and the driver began to heat up for some reason, as if some mysterious power was about to break out of its cocoon.

“Then let me come along.”

“clap clap”

Suddenly, a burst of crisp applause rang out. The three looked towards the source of the sound in confusion, only to see that No. 7, who had been murderous just now, was clapping excitedly.

“Sbarasi, this is so interesting, is this what humans call family affection?”

No. 7, who had evolved into a spiritual being by absorbing enough chakra from the tailed beasts, was very satisfied with the performance of the three.
Human emotions were exactly what he urgently needed to understand at this moment.

It just so happened that Kakuzu’s family taught him a lesson, and he learned something from it. His emotions were satisfied, so he no longer had the intention to kill.

“What tricks are you playing?”

Shenhuo frowned and stretched out his hands to the two scrolls behind him, which contained countless seals of the Heavenly Prison Technique, enough to delay the opponent for a while.

“I am very satisfied. You have saved your life.”

Number 7 put down his hand, a faint smile appeared on his face, he nodded to the three people, and left.

“But next time we meet, you won’t be so lucky.”

Fearing that the enemy might strike back, the three did not relax their vigilance until the first rays of dawn appeared in the distance. Then, exhausted, Kakuzu and Mako began to transform.

“Father!”

Mako looked at Kakuzu, who was covered in blood, and tears suddenly flowed out.
Shenhuo quickly supported his staggering father-in-law and found that there was not a single piece of good flesh on his body. It was no exaggeration to describe him as covered with bruises.

“Ahem. I’m not seriously injured. None of my injuries are fatal.”

Kakuzu was still conscious, and he comforted her first, then he looked down and saw the roots spreading across his chest. A ruthless look flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand and stabbed his heart fiercely.

“Pfft!”

“Father, what are you doing!?”

This sudden act of self-harm confused the couple.

“Gah!”

However, this is not the end. After seeing Kakuzu taking out a bloody heart from his chest, Mako’s eyes rolled back and he fainted.

“Boy, hurry up and give me the Earth Grudge Card I left for you!”

“Um, father-in-law, we came out in a hurry. Don’t do anything yet. I’ll look for it for you~”
