Even Tsunade was astonished to discover this.
From the time the Akatsuki invaded Konoha until now, I, as the Hokage, have done absolutely nothing.
He originally thought he would lead a large number of ninjas to Naruto's residence and then start a fierce battle against the Akatsuki.
To her surprise, after arriving here, she was astonished to find that she had no way to intervene.
After all, the battle between Naruto and the Akatsuki was too terrifying.
The ninjas I brought aren't even qualified to interfere!
For a moment, she felt utterly speechless.
"Naruto, just how strong are you?!"
Tsunade stared blankly at Naruto, muttering to herself.
Now she understands Naruto less and less.
In fact, she wasn't the only one who thought this way.
Kakashi, Kurenai Yuhi, Might Guy, and others are all like this.
Especially Kakashi, who is in Team 7.
He originally thought that Naruto's strength was at most on par with the Legendary Sannin of Konoha.
But now it seems.
I'm such a frog in a well!
Naruto's fighting power has already surpassed that of the three Konoha members, and even surpassed the power of a Kage!
"Strength surpassing Kage level... Bow"
"Naruto, what level has your true strength reached?"
Kakashi gave Naruto a deep look, muttering to himself.
Chapter 138 Kakuzu: Thirty-five million taels of silver are about to be in my hands!
Inside Konoha Village.
On a street destroyed by a major war.
Kakuzu looked at Asuma, who was soaked in blood, and said coldly, "As expected of a bounty worth 35 million taels of silver, he is indeed quite capable."
not far away.
Asma was hunched over, breathing heavily, his face pale.
He looked down as blood dripped from his fingertips, his face growing increasingly grim.
no! !
If this continues, we'll eventually collapse here.
Asuma first glanced at Kakuzu.
Immediately afterwards, he quickly looked around, trying his best to find a breakthrough!
Now he has only one thought in mind.
Run for your life! You're no match for this guy named Kakuzu!
At that moment, when Asuma heard Kakuzu's words, the corner of his mouth twitched a few times, and then he coldly replied.
"I'm worth 35 million taels of silver? Looks like the bounty is quite substantial."
"Hmph, I'm afraid you won't live to take it."
Upon hearing this, Kakuzu sneered and looked at Asuma with burning eyes.
"You're at your last gasp now!!"
"How dare you so brazenly say I won't live long enough to take it?"
"Now you can die!!"
After uttering the last word, Kakuzu immediately took out a kunai from his ninja tool pouch and charged towards Asuma without hesitation.
Faced with the sudden attack, Asuma's expression changed drastically, and he endured the excruciating pain to prepare for a counterattack.
however--
Due to his severe injuries, his physical reflexes became much slower.
"Oh no, it's too late!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.
"Pfft!!!"
Asuma lowered his head, his eyes wide, staring in disbelief as Kakuzu thrust a kunai straight into his abdomen.
But soon, he saw bright red blood gushing out as if it were free.
In an instant, he, who was already weak, became even weaker.
Kakuzu watched as Asuma's blood splattered onto his face, a bloodthirsty smile curving his lips beneath his black mask, his eyes burning even more intensely.
We're about to deal with Asuma, then we'll use his body to exchange for 35 million taels of silver at the gold exchange!
I'm still so excited just thinking about it!!!
No more hesitation.
Kakuzu immediately kicked Asuma in the chest.
"Crack!!!"
The sound of breaking bones sounded.
Asuma took a heavy blow, and his ribs were broken in the chest!
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"
The unbearable pain caused him to scream in agony!
After being kicked hard, his body flew more than ten meters away like a cannonball.
"thump!!!"
Finally, it slammed hard into the ground, its body rolling repeatedly.
now--
Asma lay on the ground like a dead dog, unable to move an inch.
Even his breathing became weak.
He clearly looks like a dying man!
Kakuzu gazed at Asuma, who lay motionless on the ground, a smile playing on his lips beneath his black mask.
"Thirty-five million taels of silver are about to be in our hands!!!"
After excitedly exclaiming this, he picked up the blood-stained kunai in his hand and quickly rushed towards Asuma.
at the same time.
Asuma, lying on the ground, looked at Kakuzu charging towards him, a hint of fear of death appearing deep in his eyes.
But he quickly suppressed his fear.
to him.
Since becoming a ninja, I have put life and death aside.
He felt helpless because he was no match for the other party in terms of strength.
They even secretly regretted it.
If they were a little stronger, perhaps the situation would have been reversed!
But now it's all just a fantasy.
There is no regret medicine in this world.
As Asuma watched Kakuzu draw ever closer, he began to await his own death.
Prepare to face the moment of death!
however--
But just as he was about to face death, a sudden change occurred!
A man with a watermelon-shaped haircut and thick eyebrows, radiating green energy, sped towards them.
"I'll hit you!!!" The watermelon-headed man raised his leg and kicked Kakuzu hard, shouting, "Konoha Power Whirlwind!!!"
At the same time, Kakuzu, who was preparing to end Asuma's life with one move, saw the sudden green figure. Before he (Aich) could react, he felt a heavy blow to his abdomen.
Feeling the excruciating pain in his abdomen, Kakuzu let out a muffled groan, and his body flew backward for more than ten meters.
Asuma, lying on the ground, witnessed this sudden scene, and his previously resigned heart skipped a beat.
He endured the pain in his abdomen and managed to utter a sound.
"Kai...Kai!!!"
He had just finished speaking.
A silver-haired man wearing a black mask rushed up to Asma.
The person who arrived was Kakashi.
"Asuma, leave this to me and Kai."
Just a dozen seconds ago.
Kakashi and Might Guy happened to hear Asuma's screams.
So the two of them rushed over.
Might Guy, fearing that Asuma might be in danger, decisively opened the sixth gate of the Eight Gates.
He then rushed forward before Kakashi could.
