The Sharingan Hyuga - Volume 2 Chapter 66 Ino Vs Kakuzu
When Sasuke saw Karin burning in the black flames, he immediately reset it to save her but because of continuous usage of Amaterasu, his vision started to blur and he started to feel dizzy. but Killer Bee who just emerged didn’t give him time to rest and started to attack him. Raikage who was just about to join him saw that kakuzu is escaping and turned towards his direction.
“Bee, take care of this Uchiha brat. I’ll go after him”. then suddenly Ino interrupted “wait. I’ll go after him. you take care of that guy”. Immediately Jugo, Suigetsu and two Anbu who were in her control left Kisame and started to pursue Kakuzu and she followed them behind.
After a while, Sasuke who was completely alone and is in a disadvantage took a heavy blow from Bee’s Lariat. Then, the two jonin and Killer Bee switch their places and they started to fight a heavily wounded Sasuke while Raikage and Bee fighting against Kisame.
Sasuke was breathing heavily while looking at the two jonin before him who were equally injured like him. he looked up at the sky which is full of clouds “you truly underestimate me. pay for your arrogance”
The clouds suddenly changed. He raised his arm. “Kirin”. lightning started to gather in the clouds. and huge dragon-shaped lightning within just a fraction of second attacked both of them from above.
He attacked all of his surroundings. Raikage managed to dodge while the remaining four wasn’t able to escape unscathed. The two jonin got killed on the spot. while Bee managed to lightly injured, Kisame got heavily injured after his Samehada was thrown away somewhere.
Raikage got shocked upon seeing his power “A person with this power like him is dangerous to the shinobi world. I need to kill him right now”. just when he’s about to move, Madara suddenly appeared with his Kamui. he looked at him with his sharingan “the battle was over for now. We’ll come back to claim hachibi soon”.
Sasuke was sucked into his dimension. Raikage dashed towards him and punched him but he completely passed through him. He looked at Kisame who was just weakly standing up and both nodded for some reason.
Then, he slowly disappeared leaving Kisame there alone bewildering both of them.
Meanwhile, in the forest somewhere, Kakuzu suddenly stopped after realising it wasn’t Raikage who was pursuing him but Ino and three of her puppets. He turned back and wait for all of them to reach him. Ino looked at him seriously while he smirked: “well, I have to thank you in advance for giving me four more hearts”.
She cursed in her mind “dammit. I lost control of Suigetsu. I should capture him quick before I lose control over remaining ones”. Meanwhile, Suigetsu who is in a daze until now at the edge of the forest looked around “Where in the hell am I?. Where is everyone?”.
Back to Raikage and Bee, they easily finished Kisame with their Lariat combo and Bee took the Samehada which was floating on water not knowing the fact that Kisame didn’t die and he hid in Samehada for some reason.
Madara who stored Sasuke in his pocket dimension “well, I didn’t expect Raikage and that girl thwart my plans. I guess we’ll see about it after Nagato captured the nine tails. hmm. by the way, where did Kakuzu run off to?”.
Meanwhile, Kakuzu is in battle with Ino’s puppets. He was in a complete disadvantage against them especially because of Jugo who is in Sage transformation. His skin turned dark and his sclera turned black.
He also gains a black stripe running from the middle of his forehead and down the bridge of his nose. In this full form, Jgo is incredibly resilient and has significant reflexes, completely dodging Kakuzu’s threads and counter-attacking effectively.
Although Kakuzu is in a disadvantage, he wasn’t much injured because of continuous usage of “Earth style: Iron skin jutsu”. which increases his defensive power drastically and make his body as hard as diamond. so, other than jugo, the two Anbu weren’t much of a help in the fight.
She thought “should I release them? Nah. would be better if I don’t. After all, they are missing more than 10 days worth of memories. I’m not sure what will happen. better to release them in front of shishou”.
After realising the situation, Kakuzu dodged three of their attacks and went straight for Ino who wasn’t attacking him and just concentrating on controlling them. He dashed towards her and threw a punch towards her stomach but just in time she disappeared.
while Kakuzu lost his concentration just for a mere fraction of second because of her sudden disappearance. just when he found her, She already leapt into the air and concentrated all her strength into her heel. She then rapidly swings her heel down and kicked on Kakuzu’s head making him fell on the ground.
The blood started to ooze out of his head. he stood up and quickly distance himself and thought “what a raw strength!!! if my body wasn’t as hard as diamond, my skull would have been crushed by now”. He quickly stitched himself on his head making the blood stop.
She smiled upon looking at him “I’m not the same girl you saw a few months ago, Kakuzu”. Then she thought of her training with Tsunade in this past couple of months.
Flashback two months ago,
in a private training grounds, Ino is standing before Tsunade while she’s looking seriously towards her. “just as I said yesterday, you need to complete the jutsu and the training you’ve been avoiding it for a while before you attempt the scroll of tasks. You have to master chakra enhanced strength techniques”.
Ino gulped in a little bit of fear “shishou, do we really need to do this?”. Tsunade replied “well, you always complain that I favour Sakura and train her personally. So, before you are going to complete that jutsu, you have to perfect chakra enhanced techniques”. Ino looked at her “but, I haven’t even learned the basics yet”.
Tsunade replied “who told you to not train in taijutsu. you always focus on your clan jutsu or Iryo Ninjutsu and neglect the training just because it may give scar on you. Ok, let’s start”.
Back to the present, Ino cursed after fighting for a while as her both chakra reserves and stamina began to reach bottom levels “damn. I should have perfect it first. now I understand it why master said that. should I risk it and take him down or should I play safe and just run away while this guy gives me enough time”. but just then,
he changed his appearance that is similar to a rag doll, held together by hundreds of thick black threads and made half a dozen tentacles in shape and immediately captured three of them with them. Ino dodged that tentacle threads.
