Somewhere in the Earth's Land.
Kicking the beaten and bruised person lying in front of them, Kakuzu said to Sasori, "If it wasn't for the requirement that Hiruko need him alive, I would really like to dig into this person's heart!"
There are only two things that Kakuzu wants, first is wealth and the other is heart, the desire to gather as many good hearts as possible is Kakuzu's instinctive instinct, Kakuzu's instinct, hence whenever Kakuzu met a powerful shinobi in battle, he would always have the urge to dig into their hearts.
Sasori also had a bit of greed in his eyes, “This Steel Element User is stronger than I expected, and dealing with him is more troublesome, he is actually quite strong if made into a puppet, he is actually quite strong, I should have been able to obtain a rare masterpiece.”
Even with Sasori's high standards, he had to acknowledge the power of the Steel Element user in front of him.
The fierce battle some time ago was not too difficult for Sasori or Kakuzu, but it was only because the Steel Element users knew nothing about their abilities, and were also affected by the poison that Sasori used.
If not for that, then the battle would probably be much more difficult, since the extreme defense and durability of the opponent thanks to the Steel Element made him a shinobi that rivaled the current toughness and defense of the Raikage.
After injecting the medicine into the unconscious ninja's bloodstream, Kakuzu carried it on his back and began walking towards the Rain Country while muttering, "I hope the ritual won't break his heart."
Sasori remained silent and walked beside Kakuzu.
Somewhere in the Land of Bears.
A ninja dressed in tattered clothes continued to run through the forest.
The explosion…
The explosion…
The explosion…
Suddenly a series of explosions sounded around him.
The sound of the explosion soon subsided and the dust disappeared.
The shinobi who ran past the explosion suddenly turned around, threw some Shuriken towards the enemy, and after immediately printing a hand seal, he shouted, Shuriken,
"Dark Release: Judgment!"
Wussss…
Accompanied by the strong winds, the Dark Chakra tornado shot out from the tattered hands of the ninja and rushed towards the sky.
Hiruko who was standing on top of the artificial bird had a Cruel grin at this moment, as if everything was going perfectly according to her plan.
As the Dark Chakra tornado rushed towards him, the artificial bird slammed its wings violently and flew high into the sky, using height to its advantage, it easily dodged the attack.
As soon as the tornado passed, the artificial bird flapped its wings again and shot down countless feathers.
Wusssss... Wusssss... Wusssss…
The feathers collided with the ground at an extremely fast speed and stuck into the ground like a kunai.
After dodging a few attacks for so long, the tattered ninja was panting and did not have much stamina anymore, so when he saw the rain of attacks again that covered hundreds of meters of territory within the range of the attacks he had a look of despair on his face.
Immediately, some of the feathers pierced through his body, and some stuck to him, then there was ...
THE EXPLOSION…!!!
BOOOM!!!
As the smoke and dust dissipated and the scene became clear it could be seen that the entire forest was severely damaged as almost all the area burned to a crisp, implying that the explosion was large enough to destroy the forest, but strangely enough, there was no damage in the vicinity of a meter where the tattered trees were. The ninja was lying in a pool of his own blood, although his life and death status was unknown at this time.
After the enemy was successfully incapacitated, Shinno who had not acted during the battle spoke in a tone of praise, "Using explosions and physical attacks was indeed the most effective method to deal with someone who could easily absorb ninjutsu using the Dark Element Kekkei Genkai."
Hiruko nodded, "No Kekkei Genkai is perfect, as long as one masters the proper method to deal with it, victory is already determined!"
With those words, the bird descended to the ground, Shinno leaped from the artificial bird and determined the current state of the tattered ninja.
After confirming that he was indeed alive, Shinno injected the drug into the tattered ninja's bloodstream and then tossed it over the artificial bird. “The Darkness Release Kekkei Genkai has been captured, now all we need to do is return to Amegakure, and wait for the others to bring the Kekkei Genkai users they are assigned to bring with them, but I still wonder if it is possible for the leader to capture Hatake Kakashi?"
Hiruko first nodded then said with a confident expression, “I don't think there's anything to worry about, the leader has Rikudo Sennin's eyes, obviously Hatake Kakashi who only has the Sharingan will not be a match for the leader, so getting the Sharingan should not be too difficult, the more I worry about is the Steel Release user, Sasori well, and Kakuzu is not the type to let a good corpse go easily. And then there are also some concerns about Swift Release users if that person wants to escape then stopping him is not easy, unless you have the same level of speed then chasing after it seems impossible for Uchiha Shinchi and Biwa Juzo.”
Shinno thought about it for a while and said, “I don't think that would be a problem, since the duo Uchiha Shinichi and Biwa Juzo undoubtedly have the best teamwork of all the duo, moreover, the duo of Uchiha Shinichi and Biwa Juzo undoubtedly have the best teamwork of all the duo, Uchiha Shinichi also has a Mangekyou Sharingan so he should be able to find something along with Juzo who could use Silent Murder.”
Hiruko also thought about what Shinno said and then nodded, “I think it's true.”
At this time, Shinno asked, “If everything goes according to plan, when are you sure you will start the ritual?”
Hiruko said, “There will be a celestial phenomenon at the end of next month, and if all Kekkei Genkai are successfully collected, then I will try to complete the ritual ceremony as long as the phenomenon lasts.”
Shinno's eyes flickered when he heard this, but immediately covered it up and did not let his mind be seen by Hiruko, he said with a smile, "I'm really looking forward to seeing how things will change after this."

One of the Uchiha Training Places
The strange arrival of the person instantly made Hiiragi realize that the person before him was no ordinary person.
He immediately activated his three-tomo Sharingan, and swore to himself, 'I won't let the same thing that happened before repeat itself!'
The figure emerged from the spiral vortex and looked towards Uchiha Hiiragi who had already raised his sword, activated his Sharingan, and stood in a battle-ready position, standing, then he looked at the pair of Sharingans that were spinning in his eye sockets, and chuckled, "Your eyes look good."
Looking at the black robe with the golden pattern and the orange spiral mask that others were wearing, Hiiragi asked coldly, "Are you also a member of Amatsukami?"
The masked man also did not deny and disagreed.
"Where is Homusubi, where is he !?" – with a roar, Hiiragi ran towards the masked person, and shouted, “Jawab my question!”
In Hiiragi's heart, Amatsukami was indeed a very powerful organization, But Homusubi was the only person she really feared for the other Amatsukami members? Hiiragi was not afraid of them.
The masked man chuckled, “Why rush? Why do you want to know where Homusubi is and so excited !? ”
"
"
Hiiragi's eyes became even colder, "If you were here to just play, then you could die!" finishing this sentence he immediately appeared next to the masked man and swung his sword with all his strength!
Wussss…
Accompanied by the whistling sound of the wind, Hiiragi's sword crossed the perfect target and slashed towards the masked man's throat.
But suddenly something that Hiiragi had not anticipated happened, his supposed attack was too fast to be able to react by the other party, an attack meant to split the enemy's neck in just one strike, that same attack did not even give Hiiragi the hope he wanted.
Surprisingly what happened was that the sword and the masked man both broke through without even making any momentary contact with the enemy, as if he was passing through a projection, he said, it was as if the one standing before him was not a person but a projection.
"Huh..?" – Hiiragi confused.
Stop, Hiiragi turned around and glanced at the place where the masked man or perhaps some sort of projection stood?
At this moment, Hiiragi had a puzzled look, and the three tomoe on his Sharingan were spinning, he tried to see if the one standing in front of him was some kind of Genjutsu.
While Hiiragi was standing there in a shocked state, the masked man also turned around and slowly walked towards her.
Looking at the masked man approaching, and a similar indifferent and cold aura flowing from him, Hiiragi instinctively trembled, and muttered, “Why do I feel this way?… Why…? Is i…? Am I afraid of him? No... I... no... I'm not afraid of him!”
"
"
But no matter how much Hiiragi tried to convince herself, her hand carrying the sword trembled!
Hiiragi still gritted her teeth and raised her sword and swung it violently, once.. twice… and again.the sword pierced through the masked man's body, as if he wasn't even present here, yet he was there, laughing coldly!
“A-what are you? Are you even human or some kind of ghost ??” – hysterical scream Hiiragi.
"Maybe I am death itself." – masked man murmured no to anyone.
At this point, Hiiragi had already started to retreat, the sword in his hand fell to the ground, he turned around and wanted to escape but was it possible?
The masked man grabbed Hiiragi's collar which did not allow Hiiragi to take a single step and dragged her into the spiral vortex despite all the resistance Hiiragi was trying to put up.
Amidst the sounds of Hiiragi's exclamations, shouts, and pleas to release him, his figure distorted and disappeared into the spiral vortex.
After Hiiragi disappeared, the masked man looked at the four faces engraved on Hokage Mountain at the other end of the village and then disappeared in the same vortex, he said, leaving the place to a strange silence where only the sound of crickets resounded.
Hyuga Kuroto House.
Poofs…
With a puff of white smoke, Kasai appeared before Kuroto and gave a scroll to her.
Kuroto took the scroll and gave a thousand pieces of Ryo's money to the greedy cat. While the cat happily took the money and left Kuroto started reading the contents written on the scroll, and after reading a little, Kuroto's eyes narrowed as she muttered, "Of course I'm right."
