Jūzō saw that the other party did not speak, and held his beheading broadsword vigilantly. Of course, he would not take the initiative to attack, cherishing his own little life.
Such a troublesome guy, of course, should be left to Kakuzu. Although this guy sneak-attacked him once, Kakuzu probably wouldn't die so easily.
At this moment, Kakuzu slowly crawled up from the cliff wall.
This guy kicked him once, not giving him time to react, such strong taijutsu. But his body had long been transformed by the secret technique Earth Grudge Fear, and it was no longer the constitution of an ordinary person. These injuries were already mostly healed under the treatment of the black threads inside his body.
At this moment, a voice rang in his ear.
"Kakuzu, this Uchiha Madara has come, so I'll leave it to you to deal with him."
This sentence was naturally said by Jūzō to Kakuzu. He wanted Kakuzu to test the enemy's strength.
Kakuzu was disdainful in his heart. 'Coward.'
The person who attacked him was strong, but it was impossible he was Madara. An eighty- or ninety-year-old Madara with this level of taijutsu? What a joke.
He didn't have something like the Earth Grudge Fear secret technique.
Besides, he had boasted earlier that if Madara appeared, he would be the one to deal with him.
"Secret Technique: Earth Grudge Fear."
"Tentacle Fist."
Two fists shot out like cannonballs, directly bombarding the masked man wearing white. The speed was extremely fast. Because Kakuzu didn't hold back, nor did he need to.
Since the masked man dared to attack him, regardless of whether the goal was to seize a Tailed Beast, he would kill him.
But Ryosuke, facing such an attack, simply clenched his fist and swung, and instantly knocked both of Kakuzu's fists away, slamming them into the wall.
'So this was Kakuzu's Secret Technique: Earth Grudge Fear, yet another technique in the ninja world that could achieve immortality.'
What a pity, it turned the user into neither human nor ghost, making Ryosuke completely uninterested.
He instantly flashed over and picked up the little green-haired girl lying on the ground.
What he didn't expect was that Fu was actually still so small, she looked even younger than Haku.
What a pity. He had thought he would get a fine woman and earn a fancy treasure chest. No helping it, he would just have to raise her first.
Then he decisively ran back through the tunnel he had come from.
Once outside, he could go all out and kill those three guys.
Other than Tendo Pain and Konan, who were worth some respect, the rest of Akatsuki's members were nothing more than rogue fugitives of the ninja world.
This sudden scene surprised even Jūzō, who hadn't made a move.
'This guy actually ran? Is he really Uchiha Madara?'
The legendary Madara was brave and unbeatable. There were never any stories of him running away.
Kisame had been staying alert, he didn't expect this guy to try to abduct the Tailed Beast's Jinchuriki. How could he let him succeed?
His feet shifted and he directly used the Body Flicker Technique, blocking Ryosuke's path.
The bandage on his back unraveled, revealing the Samehada, shaped like a shark, he directly swung it at the masked man.
"I won't let you go."
Ryosuke, holding Fu, faced Kisame's attack and delivered a heavy kick to Samehada. It knocked Samehada, along with the Kisame behind it, hard into the wall.
Kisame spat out blood, slightly injuring his internal organs. Fortunately, his body was tough, such minor wounds didn't matter at all.
Then he immediately entered the tunnel in pursuit.
Kakuzu and Jūzō reacted and also chased out, they couldn't let this guy escape.
Kakuzu felt even more certain in his heart: a guy like Uchiha Madara, who was on the same level as Hashirama Senju, would absolutely never run from him.
This guy was a fake.
Jūzō also felt that, with Kakuzu present and the tailless tailed beast Kisame on their side, plus himself, it would not be a problem to take him down.
In the tunnel, Ryosuke ran quickly. And just like that, he met Haku and Zabuza, who were waiting at the entrance of the waterfall cave.
When he entered earlier, he had found three dead Takigakure ninja.
He immediately sensed something was wrong and told them to stay outside.
Ryosuke rushed out of the waterfall carrying Haku, while telling Zabuza, "Leave first."
Zabuza heard this and immediately followed him out of the waterfall.
Once outside, Ryosuke told Zabuza to take Haku and Fu away first, so they wouldn't get in the way of him fighting the three.
Of these three guys, besides Jūzō Biwa, who was a weakling, the other two were undoubtedly Kage-level in strength.
Jūzō Biwa was just a weakling, in the original anime, he actually got hit in a vital spot by the rebounding beheading sword and died. Truly weak.
Kakuzu had five lives, his body was transformed with the Earth Grudge Fear secret technique and had five hearts.
Kisame didn't even need mentioning. Even the powerful Eight-Tails Jinchuriki in the original couldn't beat this guy.
If it hadn't been for Samehada's betrayal, the Eight-Tails would have been killed.
———
Not long after, the three Akatsuki members pursued.
Kakuzu was excited. "I won't let you escape!"
This guy's attack had truly sparked his killing intent.
Jūzō was also a bit excited. "You sneaky guy, who are you really? You absolutely won't escape today."
"Kakuzu on our side has fought Lord Hashirama Senju. Let alone you're a fake Uchiha Madara."
Unlike the other two, Kisame wasn't so excited. After briefly fighting him, he clearly sensed how powerful the opponent was.
This guy didn't run to escape, he must have had some purpose. But scanning the surroundings, he didn't find any ambush.
Ryosuke, hearing their words, asked in return, "Who told you I was running away? The space inside was too small, I couldn't move properly, that's all."
"Also, you said Kakuzu fought Hashirama Senju. Could it be you mean he threw a kunai at Hashirama from 800 miles away, then got scared and fled? Strictly speaking, that doesn't count as fighting."
Kisame and Jūzō both looked at Kakuzu upon hearing that, a little shocked. Could what he said before have been boasting?
Jūzō didn't hesitate to ask, "Kakuzu, is what this guy said true? Were you bragging earlier?"
Kakuzu felt an unfamiliar sense of embarrassment, 'How did this guy know about that?'
When he attacked Hashirama, there was clearly no one around. Even Hashirama probably didn't recognize him. His escape speed wasn't a joke.
As a proud ninja, he wouldn't lie, but he also wouldn't expose his own bluff.
