Chapter 57 - Chapter 57: Kakuzu: I've Come to Offer My Head

"I will bestow upon you wisdom and power!"

Lucian flashed in front of the Menos Grande, and the Hōgyoku's energy enveloped it, forcibly completing its Arrancarification.

After all, a truly powerful Hollow could break its mask on its own, like Starrk.

This meant that the Menos Grande had the potential to become a Shinigami. Lucian was just forcibly accelerating the process.

He wasn't bestowing the power of a Shinigami; after all, Lucian didn't know how.

"Although I don't understand it at all, it's truly fascinating..."

Orochimaru's eyes shone with the fervent light of a scientist as he recorded nonstop.

"BOOM!"

Suddenly, the Menos Grande's body swelled.

As if unable to withstand that powerful energy, it exploded directly.

"Did it fail?"

Lucian was not discouraged at all.

After all, he was starting from scratch. A few more times would be fine.

Then, to Orochimaru's astonishment, Lucian waved his hand and brought out several hundred more Iwagakure souls.

Orochimaru didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

I thought the number of Iwagakure souls was off.

So His Majesty took them.

"Perhaps I should try with the soul of a powerhouse..."

"Continue!"

Having finally gotten interested, Lucian was very motivated.

He had to create an Arrancar!

...

At the same time!

Kushina and Mikoto set off. Yahiko and Nagato also set off.

Only Tsunade was waiting for Konan to recover.

After all, it was her first time. It was inevitable that she would be a little... mhm.

The Village Hidden by a Waterfall was in the Land of Waterfalls. The Land of Waterfalls was not far from the Wandenreich; it was just across the Land of Grass.

"Ninja world, here I come!"

It was the first time Yahiko and Nagato had been far from home, and they were both quite excited.

Everything in the outside world was new to them.

The two youths looked around, their eyes captivated by the wonderful sights of the outside world.

But their speed did not decrease in the slightest. After all, the mission was the priority.

At the same time!

There was also a man with a mask and a rogue ninja headband on his head, rushing towards the Wandenreich.

"Although he's strong, three billion ryo is my life!"

Kakuzu's voice was full of greed.

His body was uncontrollably rushing towards the Wandenreich.

No one was like Kakuzu, who had been searching for Lucian for a full three months without the slightest pause.

He didn't even have time to eat.

It was also because he needed to change a heart every two days. Otherwise, he would have reached the Wandenreich long ago.

Was money more important than life?

For Kakuzu, money was as important as his life.

How would you know you would definitely die if you didn't try?

But if there was even a sliver of a chance of success, he was willing to give it a try.

Who was Kakuzu?

He was a man who had fought against the God of Shinobi and retreated with his whole body.

Lucian: From eight hundred li away, you threw a kunai at Hashirama and ran?

"Almost there, almost there..."

Although Kakuzu was excited, and his five hearts were almost about to explode with excitement.

But he was experienced. He was always on alert, trying to calm his chakra.

But when he was just a few li away from the Wandenreich, Kakuzu shouted excitedly.

"Lucian, wait for me! You must wait for me!"

At that moment, two spiritual pressures suddenly swept towards him from the front.

Kakuzu's body immediately paused. He felt an extremely oppressive feeling and his face turned cold:

"Who is it? Get out of my way!"

"What is your relationship with the one you speak of?"

A plain voice sounded. Yahiko and Nagato, in their Quincy uniforms, walked out from the shadows and looked at Kakuzu with confusion.

To call His Majesty's name directly, and with such an excited tone.

...Are they friends?

"Tch, so it's two brats..."

Although they looked to be eighteen, in Kakuzu's eyes, they were just brats. But he did not let down his guard in the slightest and said coldly:

"Get out of my way, or die!"

Yahiko frowned, "You haven't answered my question!"

"...Hm?"

Kakuzu also frowned. The style of their clothes made him suspicious.

After all, the image and characteristics of the group of eight had also spread throughout the ninja world.

Especially their clothes, which were different from the style of the ninja world, were talked about by countless people.

A white cape, a white combat uniform, and the unique emblem of the empire.

Kakuzu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "...The Eight Demon Generals under the King of the Wandenreich?"

"..."

What the hell is that title?

Why not the Eight Warlords under the King?

Nagato frowned. Yahiko said coldly, "It seems you are not friends with His Majesty. Then you are an enemy."

"You don't look weak. Just right for a warm-up."

"Small Heilig Pfeil!"

Yahiko attacked directly, raising his hand and a laser shot out from his fingertip!

BOOM!

The instantaneous attack, without any warning, caught Kakuzu off guard, and he was pierced through the shoulder.

The sharp pain also ignited his anger.

"You damn brats, you've angered me!"

"Tentacle Fist!"

Kakuzu used a Body Flicker to change his position. His wrist and arm separated.

Dense black threads shot out from his arm towards the two of them.

"A monster..."

Kakuzu's posture of dismantling his hand without a word startled Yahiko and Nagato. They immediately used Hirenkyaku to dodge.

Seeing the two large trees behind them being shattered by the tentacles, the two of them exchanged a look and launched an attack on Kakuzu!

"Medium Heilig Pfeil!"

Seeing the two huge arrows gathering in their hands, Kakuzu did not dare to be careless.

After all, the rumors about the group of eight were true.

Each of them was strong, and even because of the lack of intelligence, they were more difficult to deal with than the vast majority of Kage-level existences.

So Kakuzu directly released his Earth Grudge Fear.

As he dodged quickly, a large number of black threads shot out from his body, and then five colored masks appeared behind him.

"Fire Style: Searing Migraine!"

"Wind Style: Pressure Damage!"
