Kaze's confidence came from Diyu Yuan!
Although he couldn't use Ninjutsu, he could sense that the tentacles inside his body still retained some activity!
However, different from Kakuzu, Kaze still had a flesh-and-blood body, and Diyu Yuan only occupied a tiny area of his body.
Both his offensive and defensive capabilities were inferior to Kakuzu's, but the advantage was that he still had the ability to feel sensations.
"Uchiha Yau's attributes are very high. It's unrealistic for my Diyu Yuan to directly hurt him."
"… Using it as a hidden move to stab him unexpectedly might have a miraculous effect!"
Kaze's mind raced, and he had already formed a plan in his heart.
Since it had come to a life-or-death situation, there was no need to hide some things anymore.
"Sharingan!"
A red glow lit up in Kaze's eyes, and three tomoe slowly rotated, shimmering with a terrifying luster.
The Three-tomoe Sharingan, combined with Tobirama's unnamed Kinjutsu, was enough for him to resist the interference of the Mangekyō Sharingan!
Seeing this,
Uchiha Yau's eyes became even brighter, and he burst into wild and delighted laughter.
"Hahaha! So you're also a member of the Uchiha clan! No wonder we became good friends!"
"Fire Release: Great Fire Destruction!"
Yau formed Hand Seals and put his hands by his mouth. His chest puffed up high, and he spat out a blaze of flames towards Kaze.
Whoosh!
The flames surged like the sea. Kaze suddenly exerted force with his legs and quickly darted towards the distance.
However, during the evasion,
He quietly left a few plastic capsules under his feet, allowing the approaching tongues of fire to engulf them into the sea of flames.
Mercury, commonly known as quicksilver!
It volatilized rapidly under high temperature, was colorless and odorless, and was a strong nerve poison that could cause irreversible damage to the human body.
Moreover, Kaze had added some extra ingredients to make it even more potent.
Not to mention Yau, even if Hashirama came, taking two breaths of it would knock him out.
"Don't run away, good friend!"
"Let's have a heart-to-heart talk, hahahaha!"
Seeing Kaze retreating, Yau was like a damn psycho and eagerly chased after him.
Tap, tap, tap.
Kaze retreated while releasing poison, completely ignoring Yau who was chattering non-stop behind him, which really pissed Yau off.
"You guy, why don't you pay attention to me, aaaa!"
Yau formed Hand Seals. Sharp wind-attribute Chakra danced on his fingertips, forming a series of spiral-shaped sharp blades.
"Wind Release: Whirling Wind Blades!"
Under Yau's control, dozens of wind blades suddenly shot out and slashed towards Kaze with a piercing whistling sound.
Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!
The wind blades occasionally grazed past Kaze and hit the ground beside his feet, cutting deep grooves into the ground.
"Shit!"
Even though Kaze dodged left and right, moving erratically.
But the wind blades were too dense, and one of them inevitably hit him.
Pfft.
The blade pierced into his flesh and instantly cut through the tendon in Kaze's leg. He staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"Haha, I hit him! I hit him!" Yau exclaimed, excitedly slapping his thigh.
Kaze rolled on the spot, and Diyu Yuan sutured his tendons, allowing him to regain his ability to move.
However, this brief delay allowed Yau to catch up from behind.
To make matters worse, Yau accidentally used Wind Release, blowing away most of the nearby Poisonous gas.
"Damn it! This Dōjutsu is just freaking crazy!" Kaze cursed.
It was the first time in his life that he had fought such a frustrating battle without being able to use Ninjutsu.
"You'd better just die obediently!"
Yau leaped in front of Kaze, forming Hand Seal and recklessly unleashing Ninjutsu.
"Fire Release: Flame Strike!"
Two flames shot up from Yau's hands as he stepped forward, shifted his shoulder, and slapped Kaze on the chest.
Feeling the approaching high temperature, Kaze quickly stepped aside, drew his sword in a backhand grip, and attempted a draw - cut on Yau.
Clang!
The Long sword barely left the scabbard three inches.
Yau's other hand unexpectedly reached Kaze's hand first and forcibly pushed the sword back into the scabbard.
"Did I give you permission to draw your sword?" Yau asked with a smile.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
The sound of Barbecue filled the air. Kaze's hand was instantly burned by the flames and turned black.
"Aaaaaaaaah!"
Kaze endured the intense pain, gave Uchiha Yau a slanting kick and kicked him aside, and quickly put some distance between them.
Damn it all!
Kaze cursed under his breath. During the fight against Yau, he was completely at a disadvantage.
However, there was also some good news.
Yau was still affected by some Poison, and his Killing power (previously referred to as '34') seemed to have decreased significantly.
Otherwise, his hand would probably be just a skeleton instead of the current flesh - and - bone mess.
"Hahaha, come on! Come on again!"
The wonderful feeling from the previous attack made Yau even more excited. He turned his palm into a claw and fiercely swiped towards Kaze's face.
Whoosh!
A strong gust of wind blew in. Kaze quickly turned his head to avoid it and directly struck Yau's groin with the scabbard of his sword.
"What the fuck?!"
Yau rarely showed a surprised expression and immediately gave up his attack, shamelessly using Ninjutsu again.
"Fire Release: Flame Bullet!"
The flames scattered in all directions like the seeds of balsam flowers, hitting Kaze right in the face.
"Holy shit!"
Being so close to the Flame Bullet, it was impossible to dodge them all.
Kaze gritted his teeth and activated a Kunai with an Explosive Tag, throwing it forcefully at the ground between them.
Boom!
An explosion equivalent to the Fire Release of a Jonin occurred. Both of them were blown away by the terrifying shockwave and landed more than ten meters away.
Yau got up from the ground, his head buzzing.
He didn't expect Kaze to be so ruthless, detonating the explosive without hesitation, even endangering himself.
He was caught off - guard.
Half of the mask on Yau's face was cracked, his clothes were in tatters, and there were bloodstains everywhere. Clearly, he was injured.
And Kaze on the other side wasn't much better.
Not only did he fall head over heels (in a complete mess), but there was also a deep, bone - visible wound on his body.
"Haha, this is so much fun! It's really, really interesting!"
Instead of being angry after being injured by Kaze, Yau's first reaction was that it was fun!
"You guy, you said I was crazy. I think you're also a bit crazy~"
Kaze looked at Yau coldly without saying a word, mentally calculating how to kill him.
Splat!
Just then, a hand pierced straight through Kaze's chest.
"You... When...!"
Kaze's pupils constricted. He turned around with difficulty and stared at Yau in shock, who had suddenly appeared.
"Hehe, sorry about that."
Yau still had a playful smile on his face and patiently explained.
"You made me feel threatened. I even felt that you really might kill me~"
"So, to avoid any accidents, I had to skip the fun part reluctantly and kill you first!"
Yau might be a madman, but he was definitely not a fool.
After realizing that Kaze might endanger his life, he immediately put away his playful attitude.
The moment he was blown away and landed.
Yau replaced himself with a Kage Clone Jutsu and talked with Kaze at the original place to attract Kaze's attention.
His real body, on the other hand, dived into the ground and sneaked behind Kaze.
Then, as fast as possible, he stabbed him right in the heart!
