Chapter – 155 Suijin vs Kakazu

"Akatsuki?"

Suijin was slightly surprised when he noticed who the other party was, he didn't expect that not long ago Uchiha Shinichi passed him the information about the Akatsuki searching for his Yin-body disguise, 'Yama' and now he has run into two of Akatsuki members

After thinking a little while the two of the Akatsuki members were calmly coming towards the Black-market branch, Suijin decided to walk out and quietly stand on the street.

As soon as Suijin walked out of the gate, the two members of the Akatsuki noticed Suijin wearing the black cloak and an evil spirit mask, they immediately stopped and faced off the other party.

The pedestrians passing by also noticed the strangeness of the two parties.

Whether it was the two members of the Akatsuki, wearing a matching black cloak with red cloud prints, coupled with Kasa with two bells, or Suijin wearing a black cloak with golden sewing, water symbol print around the chest along with an evil spirit mask, don't look the kind of people you would wanna mess around with, so the pedestrians quickly ran away from here as soon as possible.

In just a few moments the bustling and noisy street became silent.

At this time, the two members of the Akatsuki took off their hats and asked, "Are you the bounty-nin 'Yama'?"

After a short silence of observing the two, Suijin spoke with a light chuckle, "Unfortunately, you have found the wrong person, I am Suijin."

Of the two members of the Akatsuki, Suijin is only familiar with one, the other looked like some ordinary middle-aged dude that can't recognize even after searching his memories for a long time, therefore, Suijin reached the conclusion that this unknown middle-aged member must have died before the beginning of the plot in the original story.

Kakaku frowned, and spoke in a deep voice, "Suijin!? Huh, are you trying to fool me?"

When he heard Kakazu say so, Suijin immediately understood that Kakazu must have memorized the details of his 'Yama' disguise and became confused with the current one, therefore, Kakazu thought that he was 'Yama', so pointing at his mask, Suijin spoke, "You can clearly see this thing here, I am Suijin, not Yama! But if you have some entrustment for him, you can tell me about it, I'll pass on the message to him!"

After noticing the small detail, the second Akatsuki member murmured in Kakazu's ear, "His mask is different from the one 'Yama' wears, and look at that Cloak too, the symbol around the chest is that of Water, not Yin, so he shouldn't be Yama, but I think that they both should be members of the same organization."

Kakazu's attitude remained calm and he questioned in a condescending tone, "Tell me where I can find 'Yama' along with all the information about your organization!"

Kakazu knew just how many freaks are part of the Akatsuki, so he didn't really put any other organization or a Shinobi Village in his eyes.

Can the Kage of any village defeat PAIN?

NO!

Is Kakazu himself afraid of any Kage?

NO!

So does he fear them?

Obviously NO!

Hearing Kakazu's question, Suijin just shrugged, "Come on, catch me and you'll know everything!"

Kakazu said coldly, "You want to die that badly?"

Without any more nonsense, Suijin turned to the side and dashed away from the town.

There are many civilians in this town, and if Suijin fights the Akatsuki duo here, the town would most certainly be destroyed along with the death of many civilians, even if he tries to restrain himself.

Now it's not that Suijin cares about the civilians or anything, but involving ignorant people in a serious mess is not something he wants to do unless he has no other choice, therefore, leading the Akatsuki duo out of the town is the best course of action.

It seems as if Kakazu also understood Suijin's approach, and being the leading figure in the Black-market Circle, he didn't want the branch to be destroyed because of his fighting so he immediately chased out of the town.

Seeing that the three people went out of the town to resolve their issues, the Black-Market Bounty Exchange Master Zengei, breathed a long sigh of relief, "Fortunately, the three of them didn't fight here…"

…

In the forest outside the town.

Whoosh… Whoosh… Whoosh…

Accompanied by the sound of breaking wind, the three figures appeared in the forest, one-after-another.

Suijin kept one hand on his waist, he was sort of excited to fight Kakazu.

Although the ranking of the various Akatsuki members based on their strength is actually very controversial as different people believed one to be stronger than the other, putting all that aside, Kakazu's personal strength is unquestionable.

Being the oldest shinobi alive, the mere wealth of his experience of going through thousands of battles alone makes him a force to be reckoned with. Not to mention he and Hidan captured the Nibi and Nanabi.

Even if it was Team-10 together with Kakashi, they couldn't suppress Kakazu and would have surely died if not for Team-7 to arrive as reinforcement at the right time.

In fact, Kakashi's heart would have also become Kakazu's if not for Naruto!

At that time, Kakashi was the most elite ninja of Konoha excluding the two Sannin.

From these feats alone one can imagine just how strong Kakazu actually is, after all, being able to catch two Tailed beasts is not a joke!

And since the soul is currently in Suijin-body, so he can't use the Tenseigan, therefore facing Kakazu is a very difficult challenge for him.

But that's good because the challenges are exactly what he needs now!

Coming all the way here, Kakazu said impatiently, "I really don't like myself to get involved with anyone when I don't gain something from them, sigh, I'll give you one last chance, either you hand over all the information about 'Yama' and I spare your life, or you can die here; your choice!"

Suijin didn't bother answering and directly printed hand seals:

"Water Release: Water Severing Slash!"

Whish…

A high-pressure thin jet of water immediately spouted out of Suijin's mouth and directly went towards the Akatsuki duo with an extremely fast pace.

Both Kakazu and another member jumped away, avoiding the Severing Water Slash.

Slash… Slash… Slash…

The thin jet of water was extremely sharp and immediately cut off the trees in the path.

After dodging the first attack very closely both Kakazu and the second guy got ready for battle with a serious expression

The Water Severing Slash that Suijin used is the weakened version of the Nidaime Hokage's Water Severing Wave, and the power displayed by this Water Severing Slash was not any inferior to a Class-A ninjutsu, Chidori!

From the first tentative attack itself, Kakazu understands that the opponent could be a bit tricky and unbuttoned the Akatsuki cloak, revealing his rag-doll-like stitched body held together by hundreds of thick black threads, and four animal masks that were sewn onto his back.

'Taking out the big guns so soon?' – thought Kuroto, and murmured in a low voice, "Heh, should I be proud of myself or curse myself?"

Roar…

With a roar, the four white masks with threads separated from Kakazu's back and scattered around.

'Earth Grudge Fear, the Secret Forbidden Technique of Takigakure!' – As soon as the four masks came out, Suijin observed them with his Byakugan.

In the Byakugan Vision, he could see that these Masks gave off a Bad Chakra, and somehow, each of them possessed independent Chakra sources, which was rather strange and not so at the same time.

While Suijin was observing the masks, the other nameless Akatsuki member armed with a long sword rushed forward.

Not bothering to turn aside, Suijin just printed hand seals and tapped his foot:

Tiger – Snake – Rat – Snake – Tiger –

"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"

In an instant, a wall of water rises from the ground and blocked the nameless individual's Kenjutsu attack.

At the same moment, a hand passed through the water wall and clutched the nameless kenjutsu user's throat, and traps him in the Water Prison Technique!

The whole process just took a single breath and the nameless member was already captured, in fact, the process went too smoothly that even Suijin couldn't believe it!

However, while Suijin was dazed, the surrounding light dimmed, and a dazzling electric current rushed towards him.

'Lightning Release: False Darkness!'

Suijin subconsciously shielded against the attack by putting the trapped Akatsuki member before him to block the attack.

Zizi…

However, the sheer force of the False darkness was extremely destructive, so even though, Suijin somehow blocked the attack, he was still paralyzed by it because the lightning was conducted through the water!

Dropping the corpse of the nameless Akatsuki member, Suijin immediately leaped back and landed on the nearby tree while gritting his teeth to resist the paralysis effect.

Looking at the Akatsuki member who had fallen to the ground and died, Suijin couldn't help but snort, "Huh, aren't you a bit cruel to your partner, well what do I know, it only makes things easier for me!"

Kakazu was not affected by Suijin's words and just flashed a Glasgow smile, "With the obstruction removed, you will be the next!"
