Chapter 131 Zombies
Boruto, enduring the pain from being punched squarely by Kakuzu, tensed his body and continued to release purple lightning, slowly breaking free of the black threads binding him.
After Boruto broke free of his restraints, Kakuzu had no choice but to retract his tentacle fist and re-sew it back onto his hand using his own black threads.
Earlier, when Boruto used Purple Lightning to channel chakra into his black lines, Kakuzu had already used Earth Release: Earth Spear Technique to harden his skin and enter a defensive state.
Kakuzu's entire arm became as hard as rock under the effect of Earth Release, and its color turned black, preventing Boruto from breaking free of his restraints immediately.
Although Kakuzu withstood most of Boruto's damage, he still felt his body was somewhat paralyzed and his reactions were affected because he directly received the electric shock from Boruto's Purple Lightning.
Kakuzu steadied himself, and although purple electric arcs still lingered on his body, he quickly regained his usual indifferent demeanor.
Kakuzu spoke calmly, his tone tinged with disdain: "Although you little brat are quite strong, you are still too young. Lack of experience is your fatal weakness."
Boruto did not respond to Kakuzu's provocation. After taking a deep breath, he calmed down his discomfort.
Despite the lingering pain, Boruto pulled out a few kunai from his ninja tool pouch and quickly attached several explosive tags to them.
Boruto then threw the assembled weapons at Kakuzu, hoping to create an opportunity and buy himself some time to regroup.
However, Kakuzu simply reached out and grabbed the kunai that Boruto had thrown, then tore off the explosive tags from the kunai and crushed it with his hand right in front of Boruto.
With a loud explosion, the explosive talisman shattered in his hand. Kakuzu smiled disdainfully: "This kind of useless talisman is just a piece of waste paper to me. It can't do me any harm."
While Kakuzu and Boruto were locked in fierce combat, Hidan was not idle either. He seized the opportunity and first threw a kunai at Boruto's back, attempting to launch a sneak attack.
However, Boruto sensed the danger behind him and quickly dodged, avoiding Hidan's sneak attack.
Taking advantage of the moment Boruto dodged, Hidan pulled hard on the rope in his hand, quickly retrieving the Bloody Three-Month Scythe.
After receiving the weapon, Hidan carefully examined the Bloodstained Three-Month Scythe in his hand. He noticed that the sharp edge of the scythe was not stained with the blood that Boruto had just dripped.
Hidan looked regretful. "What a pity, there's no blood on it, but that doesn't stop me from getting some right away!"
Boruto raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, realizing that Boruto seemed quite obsessed with his blood. Until he figured out what other special techniques Boruto might have, it was best to avoid getting hurt by him.
Before Hidan could finish speaking, he immediately rushed towards Boruto, dragging the bloody three-month scythe in his hand across the floor with a screeching sound, leaving a deep mark on the ground.
Hidan strode up to Boruto and swung his giant scythe towards Boruto's waist, seemingly intending to cleave Boruto's body in two.
Just before Boruto was about to be struck by the scythe, he immediately used the Substitution Jutsu to replace his body with the surrounding scenery, transforming himself into a wooden stake.
The replaced wooden stake shattered into pieces under Hidan's fierce attack with his scythe, fragments flying everywhere. Hidan, seeing his attack miss, scoffed in dissatisfaction.
At this moment, Kakuzu, who was standing to the side, suddenly made a move, plunging his hand into the ground. A moment later, a large number of silk threads suddenly emerged from the ground behind him.
These threads emerged from the soil and quickly spread in one direction.
Behind the angle, Boruto discovered that his feet were tightly bound by some black threads, which were wrapped around his ankles like a spider web, preventing him from moving forward. Purple electricity was crackling in his hands.
Kakuzu gave a cold laugh without turning his head and said contemptuously, "Heh, your combat experience is far inferior to mine."
Kakuzu paused for a moment, then said, "You're a ninja from Konoha, right? I'm a ninja from the same era as your First Hokage, and I've even fought him."
Boruto was somewhat surprised after hearing Kakuzu's explanation. He hadn't expected that his opponent was from the same era as the First Hokage.
If we calculate it this way, Kakuzu's age should be over one hundred years old.
Boruto scrutinized the two people before him: one was an old monster over a hundred years old; the other was a cult madman with an extraordinary immunity to pain.
Boruto didn't let his thoughts wander any further; he immediately focused his mind and concentrated the purple lightning in his hand onto his fingertips.
Then, he changed direction and slashed the black line beneath his feet with the power of the purple lightning. The light of the purple lightning flashed across the black line.
In a short while, Boruto felt the binding force gradually weaken and eventually disappear completely, successfully breaking free from Kakuzu's restraints.
Boruto then retreated several steps, quickly creating a considerable distance between himself and Kakuzu and Hidan.
Boruto began to shift his attention to Kakuzu and Hidan: "Stop talking big. What kind of old man over a hundred years old is as energetic as you? Are you one of those so-called 'zombies'?"
Kakuzu helplessly shrugged, his tone full of disdain: "The world is full of wonders, how could a little brat like you possibly understand? I am 'as old as heaven and earth'."
Hidan curled his lip impatiently: "Kakuzu, when did you become so talkative? Hurry up and kill this brat. If the Jashin doesn't get his sacrifice soon, he'll get angry."
Kakuzu freely manipulated the black threads that grew from his body using his chakra, quickly extending them towards Boruto and directly binding Boruto's body.
Kakuzu used his ability to control his chakra to generate a large number of black threads from his body, which danced in the air like living tentacles, eventually binding Boruto's body tightly.
Upon seeing this, Hidan immediately swung his Bloody Three-Moon Scythe, slicing off Kakuzu's black threads as well. However, Boruto, after being attacked, turned into smoke and dissipated into the air.
Hidan's scythe merely sliced through a wisp of empty smoke.
Kakuzu frowned as he watched this scene, muttering to himself, "A clone? When?"
This scene was beyond Kakuzu's expectations.
