He lives in Hokage and controls the ninja world by cultivating immortality.

Unlike the wandering ninja, Kakuzu understands what Wood Release represents, it is the symbol of the ninja god.

That's why when he saw the Mudun clone, Kakuzu was indeed shocked, and even felt in danger of death.

No, not right!

This Wood Release was somewhat different from Senju Hashirama's Wood Release. It was different, and Kakuzu finally felt the difference.

Kakuzu can't describe well what exactly is different?

But he had personally experienced the first generation of Mudun and could sense this subtle difference.

Furthermore, if the first generation really appeared, then this battle would not have to take so long.

With Senju Hashirama's ability, he can create a forest in an instant and level the lake in minutes.

Kakuzu finally put away the emotions he shouldn't have.

However, Kakuzu recalled 2 minutes, woke up for 1 minute, and 3 minutes had passed. Looking at the surrounding environment, although the water flow had calmed down a lot, the surroundings were already extremely dark.

There was some reluctance in Kakuzu's eyes, and he exuded his own perception, but it was not easy to leave traces in the water. Coupled with the resistance of the water, Kakuzu did not find anything.

A few minutes later, Kakuzu had to return to the water. Ninjas must learn to close their mouth and nose and not breathe when performing tasks. Although this is a basic operation, it does not mean that ninjas can never breathe.

After being held underwater for so long and experiencing such a high-intensity battle, Kakuzu cannot escape this law.

He slowly stood up from the water, stepped on the water again with chakra, and looked at the calm lake. At this moment, only three monsters were left waiting quietly.

"I actually let this brat escape." Kakuzu's eyes were dark. He did not expect that this mission would fail.

I guess your fate is good, but Li Ke, Kumogakure, I will remember you. From now on, you may not be as calm as before when you leave the village. Kakuzu has already made a decision in his heart.

Over the long years, he has carried out countless killing missions, and there are not without failure cases, although they are very rare.

Li Ke may be considered lucky this time.

The black tentacles began to shrink rapidly, and the three monsters made of tentacles retracted into the body. The tentacles automatically formed needle threads to sew the body back together.

There are still some losses in this battle. I failed to get Li Ke's heart and lost one. Now I'd better go find a new heart.

When he came to the shore, he picked up the coat he took off, but at this moment, Kakuzu frowned and looked around again.

"Where's the box?"

The box containing the money disappeared.

Recalling the scene just now, the water escape technique of the Great Waterfall, the violent water rushed to the shore, but Kakuzu's clothes were not washed away, but...

"You bastard! You have angered me twice today. I must kill you! I must! You are Kumogakure's ninja. The next step should be to return to the village! I will wait at Kumogakure's door now! A total of 2100 million taels! I will definitely try my best to get you to take it all out!"

Kakuzu's eyes exuded an unprecedented coldness, and it was obvious that he was truly angry.

He regards money as his life creed and has elevated the status of money to the same level as life. If he loses the money this time, does it also mean that he has lost his life?

Therefore, Kakuzu was very angry in his heart, and "Qian" was furious like never before!

Of course, Kakuzu's current thinking may be that the money was washed into the lake. There are countless reef rocks in such a large lake, and the chance of finding a money box in such a place is indeed very small.

But if there was a perspective in this world that allowed Kakuzu to see the whereabouts of his money box, I wonder if Kakuzu would be so angry that he would curse on the spot.

By a small stream.

Li Ke walked out of the stream with difficulty. Just after taking two steps, sweat began to appear all over his body. He walked a little further and was dripping with sweat.

So much sweat flowing down showed the severe pain in Li Ke's body at this moment.

Li Ke said that he could not go any further, otherwise his life would be in danger. He gritted his teeth and found a relatively hidden cave nearby and plunged into it.

Sitting on the ground, green light flashed in his right hand, covering his abdomen, which had a large hole exposed.

Even now, blood is still flowing out.

Kakuzu's punch was really too heavy. If he were outside, he would definitely be punched to death.

Thanks to the resistance in the water and Li Ke's Wood Release, otherwise, he would have been cold by now due to the massive bleeding in his lungs.

But even in this severe pain, Li Ke still forced a smile on his lips.

Being able to survive the hands of people like Kakuzu is a kind of victory, isn't it?

This battle is more of a loss for Kakuzu, but correspondingly, it is more of a gain for Li Ke.

First of all, the increase in combat experience and the blessing of the progress of Five Elements Taoism are all benefits.

Of course, these are just intangible benefits. Li Ke just glanced at the attribute panel and didn't think much about it.

Looking at the things next to you, this is the real benefit.

When the detonating talisman was detonated in the water, fierce whirlpools and turbulence were generated in the water.

At that time, Li Ke left the wooden escape clone behind. While Kakuzu was shocked, his own body was preparing to leave along with the undercurrent.

Perhaps because the explosion was too powerful, the aftermath of the water also hit the suitcase, and the suitcase also flowed into the undercurrent. Li Ke took it over after seeing it.

When I opened it, I saw it was full of 600 million.

Looking at the money, Li Ke was a little dazzled. Not only had he never seen so much money in his previous life, let alone this life.

Militaryly speaking, Kumogakure ranks first, but in terms of economy, it may be a little better than Sunagakure, which is full of yellow sand.

Li Ke now works in the Research Department, and the task difficulty is defined as B level, but his monthly salary is only 15. This small amount of money is probably not as good as Konoha's C level task remuneration.

Of course, it's not that Yunyin is stingy. The main reason is that improving the economy cannot happen overnight and can only be done slowly.

600 million is probably enough for Li Kexiao to live happily for a while.

There was another thing next to the suitcase. Looking at this thing, Li Ke fell into deep thought.

When the detonating talisman was placed in the water prison and detonated, the black monster inside was indeed killed, but at the moment the water prison shattered, something from the black monster seemed to bounce into Li Ke's hand.

At that time, Li Ke thought it was a piece of minced meat or something like that and had no time to look further.

Because of the wooden escape clone he had arranged, he finally found an undercurrent and could only escape when Kakuzu didn't react.

Li Ke didn't have time to think too much. Anyway, the thing in his hand seemed quite warm in the cold water. Li Ke grabbed it and ran away.

Only now did he realize that this was not some minced meat, but a heart, which exploded from the water escape monster. The most amazing thing was that even though the heart was separated from the body, it was still beating slightly.

The cold sweat on Li Ke's forehead continued to flow, and the severe pain from the wound still didn't stop. Just out of curiosity, Li Ke raised his hand with difficulty and touched the heart.

At the moment of contact, Li Ke's eyes changed and he wanted to get up, but the pain prevented Li Ke from moving.

Looking outside the cave, and then at the heart that was still beating weakly, Li Ke's own heart began to beat wildly.

He had a bad feeling. The reason why the heart was still beating after it was separated from its body was because Kakuzu was doing something wrong. The guy from Kakuzu followed the heart and found it here?

If Kakuzu appeared here now and he was seriously injured and couldn't even use earth escape, wouldn't he really be doomed?

The pain from the wound, the little bit of blood flowing, and the invisible pressure all combined really gave people a feeling of suffocation.

But blessings are either blessings or disasters, which cannot be avoided. Li Ke will eventually have to face the external situation.

"who!"

Holding a kunai in one hand across his chest, he was ready to fight, but this was only on the surface.

The other hand had already reached into the ninja tool bag, where the ten detonating charms Li Ke brought from the village were kept.

There is no [-]% victory in a ninja battle. Many times, the enemy you think will die will suddenly jump up and kill you at the moment when you think you have won.

These ten detonating talismans are the final preparations. If it is really Kakuzu outside the cave, Li Ke will use his last bit of strength to build a large water prison, and cover the remaining four hearts of Kakuzu with detonating talismans, hoping to die together.

If you want to exchange my head for money, there is no way!

For a long time, in the extremely tense atmosphere, a voice came from outside the cave.

"it's me!"
