Chapter 397 Six-armed Susanoo! Kakuzu admits defeat!
After soaking in the hot springs of the Land of Hot Springs for several days and becoming even more exhausted, Fujiwara Tetsuya finally made his move!
In fact, when they first arrived in the Land of Hot Springs, he had already used his Sharingan to control several leaders of the Land of Hot Springs's underground forces.
He had them mobilize their subordinates to secretly search for Kakuzu's whereabouts throughout the Land of Hot Springs.
Fortunately, although the strength of those people was a bit weak, their efficiency in handling matters was still passable.
"Mikoto, Ryoui, it's time for us to go!"
...Ennai City.
It was called a city, but in terms of scale, it was more like a small town in the Land of Fire.
Of course, this was also limited by the Land of Hot Springs's land area and population.
"Who is it?"
The sudden, powerful aura instantly roused Kakuzu from his light sleep, and as he stood up, his gaze followed the dim light towards the shadows in the corner.
"This is truly disappointing, Mr. Kakuzu! Did you forget my aura so quickly?"
Watching Kakuzu assume a defensive posture, Fujiwara Tetsuya chuckled softly and slowly walked into the light, with Torune Ryoui and Uchiha Mikoto following closely behind him, their eyes fixed on Kakuzu.
It seemed that as soon as Kakuzu made any move, they would launch a fatal strike.
"It's you, the Konoha brat… But shouldn't you be on the battlefield in the Land of Rain at this time?"
After recognizing Fujiwara Tetsuya, Kakuzu's eyes darkened.
No matter how he speculated, he couldn't figure out a reason.
Why would Fujiwara Tetsuya seek him out during wartime? Did he simply think he was strong enough to come and challenge him?
Also, he had been living in seclusion during this period, so how could Fujiwara Tetsuya have found him?
"It seems Mr. Kakuzu has many questions?"
"But it's a bit too cramped here. How about we move to a more spacious place?"
"Alright!"
Strictly speaking, Kakuzu had no other choice.
If a battle broke out here, then he would not only have to face Fujiwara Tetsuya and his two companions but also countless Hot Water Village Ninja who could arrive at any moment.
Kakuzu wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble, and Fujiwara Tetsuya felt the same way… Rushing and stopping, the four of them continued until they reached the depths of a steep mountain valley several tens of miles from Ennai City before slowing down.
"This place is quiet… This will do."
The moment Fujiwara Tetsuya stood firm, Kakuzu instantly widened the distance between himself and Fujiwara Tetsuya, Uchiha Mikoto, and Torune Ryoui.
As Chakra surged, a massive amount of Earth Grudge Fear gushed out from his body.
"It seems Mr. Kakuzu still isn't accepting his fate!"
Looking at Kakuzu, who had taken on an aberrant form, Fujiwara Tetsuya couldn't help but chuckle softly… With a wave of his hand, a scroll unfurled in the wind, and in an instant, a colorless barrier shot up into the sky, immediately covering an area of several kilometers.
"Mr. Kakuzu, rest assured, this barrier has no offensive or restrictive properties… Its existence is merely to block external perception…"
This wasn't Fujiwara Tetsuya showing off, but rather… Even with his vast sensory abilities now, he couldn't be sure if this sensory power could detect beings like White Zetsu or Black Zetsu.
If it could, he didn't want to expose that power to the world too early.
However, to subdue Kakuzu and make him genuinely submit, he had to display combat power that surpassed ordinary people's understanding.
Looking down, Fujiwara Tetsuya's eyes rapidly changed.
Finally, the Three-Tomoe Sharingan evolved into a bizarre pattern of twelve star-shaped wind blades connected together… "This is…"
Looking at the blood-red light flickering in Fujiwara Tetsuya's eyes, Kakuzu felt a jolt in his heart, and a sense of fear and unease gradually enveloped him.
"That's right… This is the ultimate form of the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan, the Mangekyo Sharingan, the very power Uchiha Madara relied on to dominate the Ninja World!"
"Sharingan? Mangekyo?"
"How is this possible?"
"You are not a descendant of the Fujiwara Clan? How could you possess the bloodline of the Uchiha Clan?"
Torune Ryoui shared Kakuzu's confusion… However, now was not the time to ask about this matter.
"Who knows about such things?"
"To help Mr. Kakuzu make a reasonable choice sooner, I'll temporarily reveal some of the Mangekyo's power."
"Susanoo!"
The moment Fujiwara Tetsuya whispered, a massive exoskeleton instantly enveloped him, but… unlike the forms of Uchiha Madara, Sasuke, Shisui, Itachi, and others,
Fujiwara Tetsuya's Susanoo truly possessed six arms!
Although it was only the first form of Susanoo, it was barely enough to deal with the current situation.
"Damn it! Is there still this level of power he hasn't shown yet?"
Feeling the terrifying pressure emanating from Fujiwara Tetsuya, Kakuzu's eyes grew even gloomier.
In this era, are the younger generation of the Ninja World all so brave?
"Um… you still have to tell me what a reasonable choice is, right?"
"Hmm?"
"Brat, don't go too far. I said… what is the choice you're giving me?"
"You, a brat like you, just start shouting and threatening, without even introducing your goal. How am I supposed to make a choice?"
Looking at Fujiwara Tetsuya's stunned expression, Kakuzu truly couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, roaring furiously.
"Uh~ Alright! Maybe I didn't explain it clearly~"
"I already told Mr. Kakuzu my goal when we first met."
"I hope Mr. Kakuzu can join my ranks… and work for me, the kind of absolute loyalty."
"But you can rest assured, my previous promises are still valid: salary, five insurances, holidays, team building, and so on… everything is available."
"Besides that, I can also help Mr. Kakuzu deal with Takigakure's pursuit…"
"A boss like me…"
"I agree!"
Just as Fujiwara Tetsuya was explaining and continuing to add to his humane image, Kakuzu retracted all his Earth Grudge Fear into his body and immediately agreed.
"Hmm? Did Mr. Kakuzu just say something?"
"Hmph~ You hateful brat, I said… I agree!"
"I hope you can keep your word today, otherwise… Lord Kakuzu will definitely leave you."
It seemed he felt that giving in without a fight was too demeaning, so Kakuzu had to emphasize his stance!
"Phew~ If I had known Mr. Kakuzu was so reasonable, I wouldn't have gone to all that trouble and made so many unnecessary preparations."
With a light chuckle, Fujiwara Tetsuya waved his hand, dispelling Susanoo, and the Mangekyo in his eyes quickly faded, returning to their normal state.
Looking at Fujiwara Tetsuya's extremely hypocritical smile, Kakuzu couldn't help but sneer… If he didn't feel like he couldn't win, who would be willing to work for a brat?
Although he lived a life of roughing it, wasn't a life of freedom and joyful killing better?
