Chapter 124
The Art of Immortality
[System Notification: You have encountered a ninjutsu that meets the requirements for splitting the clone. Please analyze and seize the opportunity.]
Just as Zixu was wondering if his opponent had consumed some kind of "Sit-Up Fruit," the system's prompt jolted him from his confusion.
"What the hell? A ninjutsu that fits the bill for separating clones? Could it be..."
Zixu's eyes sparkled as he looked at Kakuzu, the stitched-up monster standing before him.
Could the technique used by this guy actually separate a clone from the body? Damn, that's an unexpected bonus. There's no way I'm letting him escape now.
Kakuzu, already furious, saw the strange, almost perverse glint in Zixu's eyes. The occasional smirk that appeared on the young man's face made his instincts scream danger. His body stiffened, and his mind raced.
Why the hell is this brat looking at me like that?
Most people either avoided him or showed fear when they saw his grotesque, tentacle-covered form. But Zixu? His expression... Kakuzu clenched involuntarily.
"You bastard..." Kakuzu growled, feeling a rare sense of humiliation. That look in Zixu's eyes—it reminded him of the bounty collectors he had dealt with in the past.
Squelch!
