The Sharingan Hyuga - Volume 2 Chapter 60 Shuichi Saves Kakuzu

Hidan and Kakuzu started to move towards Konoha after sealing Two Tails to capture Nine tails Jinchuuriki and take back Asuma’s body for bounty.

Its already been three days since their battle and because of the rain, their traces have been washed out. Then, Shikamaru thought for a while and concluded that they will be going to Konoha in another route.

When they a bird flying around, Ino uses Mind switch technique and takes control of it. She started to fly around and eventually, she founds them. “got them”. Then suddenly, Kakazu who sensed something attacks the bird and just in the nick of time, she escapes from there.

After finding them, he slowly tries to capture him with shadows but both of notices it and dodge his attack. Then Shikamaru pins their shadows with Asuma’s chakra knives imbued with his chakra.

Using his Shadow Possession Jutsu, he forces Hidan to attack Kakuzu, but Kakuzu dodges the attempt, making Shikamaru realize that he had secretly detached his arm during Shikamaru’s previous attack to remove the chakra knife pinning his shadow.

With Kakuzu cornered, Choji then attacks Kakuzu from above. Choji’s spiked cannonball attack proves ineffective against Kakuzu’s special ability, which enables him to harden his skin.

Kakuzu gets struck by Kakashi’s Lightning Blade right through his heart, but survives and produces four masked entities from his back, one of which dies, as it had been struck by Kakashi. Kakuzu then uses the masks to attack Team 10 with powerful Wind, Lightning, and Fire Jutsus.

Then, after seeing that Shikamaru realises “guys, he has five hearts. To kill him, all of them must be killed. I’ll take the loudmouth with me while you deal with him”.

he uses Shadow Possession Jutsu to lead Hidan into a dense forest while Kakuzu combines two of his hearts into a single entity and prepares to face Kakashi, Ino and Choji to get a replacement heart.

After tricking Hidan to kill Kakazu’s main heart, he captures him with Shadow possession jutsu and attaches all explosive tags which are arranged before to him with the help of another Shadow gathering jutsu. After he was attached to explosives while hanging in the air.

Hidan upon seeing that laughs “hahaha, whatever you are planning is useless. I’m immortal. I can’t die”. Shikamaru smirks at him “I know, That’s why I specially prepared this trap for you”. then a trap hole opens below him. Then, he lights them and he gets exploded.

Meanwhile, Kakuzu’s masked beast constructs return to his body with one of them sacrificing itself to become his heart and will revive him.

He then traps them with his threads and attacks them and one of the masks which is on his shoulder shots Exploding flame towards them while the other supports it with the wind making all of them who are trapped unable to move.

Just then, “Wind style: Rasengan”. “Water style: Ripping Torrent”. together Naruto and Yamato spoke “Typhoon Water vortex jutsu”. the combination jutsu of both of them completely nullified Kakuzu’s attack. Kakashi and others slowly free themselves.

Kakashi turns back “Sakura, Hanabi. go and back up Shikamaru. They nodded and went to their direction”. Unknown to them, A figure observing them from miles away mumbled in a gentle tone “Hana…”. and then he looked at Naruto who just nullified the attack “hmm, seems like Naruto finally upgraded that Rasengan. oh! that’s amazing. but will it become that strong if you just apply a wind chakra to it?”.

Then, while Kakashi and everyone stood behind, Naruto attacked them with his shadow clones and began to analyse him.

After a while, Shuichi who was observing the battle with his ASH eye from far away was shocked “What! what is that? that chakra is incredible. I can even feel it here. wow, just applying Wind chakra to it can give such a result?. oh. it’s not just like that.

first applying wind chakra to Rasengan and then additional shape transformation is applied to the Rasenshuriken, creating four large points around the central Rasengan core, giving the appearance of a fma shuriken. hmm. how about?”.

Suddenly Zetsu appeared from underground. Shuichi looked at him “what are you doing here. since you can’t see it from here, didn’t you said that you will go near and record the fight?”.

Zetsu looked at him “I just came back after seeing that jutsu. I want to hear your analysis of it. How much of a threat is it?”.

Shuichi looked at him annoyingly “I’m in the middle of it. don’t disturb me”. While Zetsu stood beside him, Shuichi looked at the jutsu which just formed completely. He frowned “It contains a countless number of wind particles”.

Then he thought “If my guess is right upon contact, those wind particles will turn into a countless number of needles and attack the enemy at a cellular level. Its damage is huge and takes a huge amount of chakra. Cannot be used multiples number of times”.

He spoke to Zetsu “just think that if Kakuzu gets hit, he’s done for. as for whether his 3 hearts can save him or not, we can only hope”.

Zetsu replied “then, what are you doing? save him”. Shuichi looked at him “why would I? if you want, you can go save that trash who kills people for bounty”. Zetsu replied “If i have such power I would do so. but. Hey”.

Shuichi stopped listening to him and observing the battle with interest and frowned suddenly. Zetsu asked, “what happened?”. Shuichi didn’t reply to him and mumbled “that jutsu can’t be thrown?. what kind of bullsh*t is this? why did this idiot create with that shape if a shuriken can’t be thrown? but then, if it’s that’s the case, then…this reckless idiot”.

Naruto attacks Kakuzu with his Rasen Shuriken, but his attack dissipates before he can land a hit. Meanwhile, with Hidan’s dismembered remains in the trap hole, Shikamaru uses another explosive tag to fill in the hole over the remains of a dismembered yet living Hidan, ultimately avenging Asuma’s death.

He is joined by Sakura and Hanabi, and they head back to the others. Naruto once again creates a Rasen Shuriken, and Kakuzu switches to a long-range mode to counter his attack.

Shuichi says “Zetsu, Hidan is down. his head is buried in that forest the remaining will be back. There are two jonin behind Naruto. even though Kakuzu is holding down Naruto, for now, that jutsu earlier making me uneasy. I don’t have any hopes for him”.

Zetsu replied “then go and teleport him back. forget about him being a scum for a second, it will be hard to look for other replacements for him”. Shuichi who was waiting for that word “name the price”.

Zetsu was taken “price?” then he realised “you brat. from the start, you are waiting for this. aren’t you? fine. who do you want?”. Shuichi replied “A Kage”. Zetsu asked, “are you serious?”. Shuichi looked at him indifferently “a Kage. not kage level shinobi. it doesn’t matter which village.

Give me one. you should know I’m going against Konoha. So, the price is normally greater than usual”. Zetsu nodded “ok, I accept. now go”.

He immediately disappeared while kakuzu took down a shadow clone thinking it was an original but after it disappears, The real Naruto with Rasenshuriken in his hand has already reached him but just when he’s about to hit, suddenly, Shuichi appeared behind Kakuzu and a Mirror-like Blue fire crystal appeared between Naruto’s Rasenshuriken and Kakuzu suddenly.

They both collided while Shuichi grabbed him, threw his Hiraishin kunai and teleported out of blast zone.

After th eRasenshuriken collided with the Blue fire crystal, it started to absorb the damage but not for long and it broke during a huge wind vortex and Naruto was thrown backwards.

Kakuzu who looked at the damage the jutsu caused was shocked and so was Shuichi who was observing it the entire time “so, they convert into countless wind needles. even my sharingan can’t count them? sigh. He must have worked very hard to create such an amazing jutsu but…” then he scanned Naruto “yeah, my guess is right”.

Kakuzu whispered “thankyou. but what are you doing here”. Shuichi looked at him coldly “you can thank Zetsu for that”. Ino and Choji ran towards him and Ino started to heal him. but kakashi wasn’t looking at him but he seeing somewhere else and mumbled: “how is this possible?”.

Yamato and the others looked at kakashi “What happened….” Then, after the dust cleared, they saw Kakuzu was alive and there’s a person beside him who has Akatsuki clothes like others but have a hood completely covering the face and one can only see his lips and chin.

Yamato asked, “who is that?”. Kakashi replied while looking seriously “The Reaper”.
