Bang—

As a huge puff of white smoke rose, the ground began to tremble slightly. In the haze, a monster like a small mountain appeared faintly.

"Manda?"

Takemi stopped in his tracks, looking at the faintly visible figure, and he was also thinking about how to respond.

"Orochimaru?"

However, at this moment, Manda's muffled voice suddenly rang out.

"You haven't given me the sacrifice you promised last time, and now you dare to summon me again?"

"This time is different, I will definitely offer the sacrifice." Orochimaru's hoarse voice also came from within the smoke.

"And the one we have to deal with this time is an interesting brat."

The smoke gradually dispersed, and a giant purple snake, like a mountain, coiled in the desert.

Manda looked down at Takemi, seeing the figure covered in purple lightning. At first, it didn't pay much attention. But slowly, it suddenly felt that something wasn't right.

"What's with this brat's aura? What is that feeling?" Manda couldn't understand it, but it instinctively sensed danger.

"Manda."

At this moment, Takemi shook the ninja sword in his hand. He raised his head to look at the Moon and suddenly smiled slightly.

"This is good too, just right to give it a try and see how it goes."

"Damn Kappa, why are you still like this?!"

On the other side of the battlefield, Kakashi and Guy stood back-to-back, panting as they looked at Kakuzu and Hidan not far away.

The combined efforts of these two put immense pressure on them, and they were cautiously dealing with the enemies.

However, Hidan on the opposite side was cursing loudly. Under Kakuzu's cover, he was constantly twisting his neck and arms, clearly having been heavily targeted by Guy.

"That lunatic's regeneration ability is really strong." Guy looked at Hidan in the distance and whispered a reminder.

"Also, be sure to be careful of his weapon. It's definitely poisoned. You absolutely cannot be touched by it."

"I know. That guy is alright to deal with, but this Kakuzu from Takigakure..." Kakashi said with some solemnity.

"His heart seems to have recovered. It's really not easy to kill him."

"Do you have any ideas?"

"I have some moves I can try, but it might take some time."

"No problem."

Hearing Kakashi's words, Guy nodded instantly. He absolutely trusted his old friend.

"Hidan, you continue to cooperate with me, harass in the front, and I'll launch an attack from the back. Get ready."

Kakuzu didn't bother with pleasantries either. These two were truly difficult to deal with right now. Whether it was Kakashi or that Kappa, their cooperation made even him feel strained.

But he thought this was also quite good. At least he didn't have to constantly guard against the Flying Thunder God Technique like when facing Takemi.

"Okay!" Hidan shouted loudly.

He had already set the bones that had been broken.

"Die for me!"

As he spoke, he suddenly charged forward. Seeing this, Kakashi immediately threw several kunai at Hidan.

Earth Release: Earth Style Wall.

Kakuzu pressed his hands on the ground behind him. Hidan didn't care about the kunai, but they had explosive tags on them. If they blew him apart, Kakuzu would have to put him back together.

Boom—

Boom—

Boom—

Accompanied by bursts of roaring, the earth wall was already blown apart, and Hidan had already rushed forward, spinning his scythe.

"Leaf Whirlwind!"

Guy shouted loudly and instantly kicked out towards Hidan. Hidan had long been guarding against Guy, and he immediately blocked quickly with his scythe.

However, Guy, who had already opened the Sixth Gate, had power that Hidan couldn't compare to. He was kicked flying by Guy with a single kick.

But at this instant, Kakuzu's jutsu also came crashing down.

Fire Release: Searing Migraine!

The intense flames, like a sea of fire, spread directly towards Guy, forcing Kakashi to form hand signs.

Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!

Strong winds swept in, blocking the flames for a moment, but Kakashi's mastery of Wind Release was clearly not as good as imagined.

Moreover, Wind Release is very suitable for combining with Fire Release, and in an instant, the flames became even more ferocious.

Fortunately, this brief delay was enough for Guy to retreat, but Hidan clearly wouldn't let him go.

"Kappa, I'm back! Remember to tell me who the dead last is before you die!"

"Lunatic."

Guy didn't quite understand what Hidan was so fixated on, but he wouldn't fear Hidan's attacks. He immediately met him head-on.

"Now!"

Kakashi took a deep breath. His Mangekyo Sharingan was rapidly rotating. The next moment, he suddenly took out a kunai.

"This guy named Hidan isn't actually difficult to deal with. The main problem is Kakuzu. We can only win by targeting him."

Kakashi was very calm. He naturally understood who was the most troublesome and dangerous.

Zzzzz—

These kunai flickered with lightning. The power of his Mangekyo Sharingan had also accumulated to its peak. The next moment, he shot these kunai out.

Whoosh—

This kunai covered in Lightning Chakra advanced rapidly, and under the shimmering Lightning Chakra, a faint black Chakra was also surging.

"Guy, get out of the way!"

Kakashi suddenly felt drained of strength, but he still shouted loudly.

"Hmph!"

Guy punched Hidan in the stomach, sending him flying, and then quickly leaped away himself. The kunai shot from behind Guy towards Kakuzu in the back.

"Hm?"

Kakuzu was instantly startled. Looking at the kunai stabbing straight towards him, he instinctively wanted to dodge, but this kunai's speed was simply too fast under the enhancement of Lightning Chakra.

With no other choice, Kakuzu could only immediately turn sideways and block with his arm, but the next instant, his face changed drastically.

Because this kunai suddenly erupted with incredible suction force, this power seemed like it was going to tear him apart.

"Did it work?"

Guy came to Kakashi's side, looking at Kakuzu, whose entire body had become distorted, and asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, but it should be possible, right?"

Kakashi was constantly panting, his Mangekyo Sharingan tightly closed. These were some abilities he had researched during this time.

He wasn't skilled in using it, and it consumed a massive amount of Chakra, but this was definitely a power that could decide the outcome.

"Ahhh!"

The space was still constantly twisting, and Kakuzu let out a roar. Suddenly, his body split open, and three monsters flew out of his body.

These three monsters were also attracted by the twisted power of Kamui, and then twisted until they disappeared.

But this instant gave Kakuzu a chance to react. He leaped violently, pulling himself out from the vicinity of the distorted space in a disheveled manner.

"Damn it!"

Kakuzu looked angrily at Kakashi and Guy.. The hearts he had just collected were gone again.

"You should all die!"

"This is bad..."

Kakashi felt that things were getting troublesome.

Looking at the enraged Kakuzu and Hidan who was watching menacingly from the side, he knew that trouble was coming.
