Kakuzu frowned.
"Is this kid from the Uchiha clan?"
"Do my eyes surprise you?"
Nanaya's left eye suddenly transformed, revealing a jade with three tomoe.
This time, Kakuzu could finally confirm.
The boy in front of him belonged to the Uchiha clan.
The remnants of the Uchiha clan—hadn't they been wiped out by Itachi?
On the other side, Hidan crawled out of the ruins in dismay.
Nanaya interrupted his ritual of offering sacrifices to Lord Heretic God, which made him quite unhappy.
No one had ever interrupted his sacrificial ceremony; Uchiha Nanaya was the first.
This was disrespectful to the evil god.
The Heretic God would punish him, and none of the people present were innocent.
Hidan glared at Uchiha Nanaya fiercely, and his scarlet eyes widened in shock.
"Sharingan? Is this kid from the same clan as Itachi?"
As for how Nanaya appeared beside him in an instant, Hidan couldn't care less.
"Hidan, be careful! This guy has the same Mangekyō Sharingan as Itachi; don't be careless."
"Hmph! No matter who it is, to end the punishment of Lord Heretic God, he must bear my wrath."
Hidan grabbed his scythe and charged toward Uchiha Nanaya.
He wished for Nanaya to be cut down immediately, without even having to carry out the ceremony.
"Kakashi, do you really have to tell Nanaya about the enemy's abilities?"
Shiranui Genma was not worried about Nanaya; he felt it would be easier to fight if Kakashi informed Nanaya about the opponents' abilities.
Kakashi nodded and smiled.
"No, don't you understand that guy Nanaya? He dares to say so with absolute confidence. In fact, he has brought us too many surprises in Konoha."
Even with the Mangekyō Sharingan, Kakashi couldn't see Nanaya's true power.
This young man had directly destroyed the three elders of Konoha: Homura, Koharu, and Danzo.
From what Kakashi learned from Tsunade, even the Jinchūriki of the Second Tail of the Cloud Shinobi had died at Nanaya's hands.
With Nanaya in Konoha Village, they had nothing to worry about.
"Real noisy guy!"
Facing the galloping and furious Hidan, Nanaya merely smiled faintly.
That sneering look in his eyes didn't seem to regard Hidan as a threat at all.
This look was all too familiar to Hidan.
Usually, he looked at others with such eyes.
Unexpectedly, the tables had turned, and now a kid was looking at him like that.
Incredible, in his opinion, truly incredible.
In front of the evil god, the Five Great Nations, including the Raikage, Hokage, Tsuchikage, and others, were all mere mortals.
Hidan's other evil gods were like Deidara's art.
No one else could doubt it.
Hidan shouted loudly, "Little brat, don't blaspheme Lord Evil God with those eyes!"
"What are you? Kneel down!" Nanaya replied coldly.
Woo, woo, woo...
Suddenly, Hidan, who was only ten feet away from Nanaya, stopped.
He fell to his knees on the ground.
"Well, what's going on here?"
Hidan was horrified; he felt an immense gravity pressing down on him, making him feel extremely heavy.
His feet, which were half-kneeling on the ground, sank into deep pits.
"Damn, what's with this gravity?"
Kakashi and Shiranui Genma exchanged shocked glances.
They were baffled by this sudden turn of events.
It was clearly Hidan who attacked Nanaya, and yet he suddenly fell to his knees mid-charge. What kind of trick was this?
"What's wrong with you, Hidan?" shouted Kakuzu from a distance.
He was also very puzzled by this sudden scene.
"Damn it, Kakuzu, hurry up! This kid is a little different."
Hidan's response indicated he was not affected by Nanaya's illusion.
So what was this?
"Wind Style: Oppression!"
"Fire Style: Head Hard!"
Kakuzu's two hearts attacked Nanaya for the first time.
The Wind Style mask monster released a high-pressure ball from its mouth, forming a swirling storm.
The Fire Style mask monster emitted dense flames. The combination of Wind Style and Fire Style could turn everything in front of them to ashes, and it held immense power.
Click, click—
The storm and fire danced as they rolled toward Uchiha Nanaya.
In an instant, this sea of fire mixed with the storm was condensed into ice sculptures, creating a luxurious and strange ice sculpture art.
"This—what's going on? How could my Wind Style and Fire Style ninjutsu combination be frozen?!"
The look on Kakuzu's mask was filled with shock.
Can fire and wind truly be frozen into ice?
Looking at this ice sculpture, Kakashi understood.
The familiar Uchiha Nanaya had returned.
This freezing power was the Nanaya Kakashi was familiar with.
Earlier, he had called this an Ice Release.
But obviously, Nanaya's freezing power had far exceeded the scope of a mere Ice Release.
This freeze is the power Kakashi was familiar with.
But what kind of power did Hidan possess that left him half-kneeling?
Could it be that Nanaya had developed some new abilities and new ninjutsu?
Hidan's heart was filled with embarrassment.
A simple word from Uchiha Nanaya had him kneeling down!
It wasn't over yet; he initially knelt on one knee.
But the gravity exerted on him suddenly multiplied, forcing both feet to kneel before Nanaya.
Boom—
The earth collapsed, unable to withstand the gravity.
Hidan's body was pressed into the ground for dozens of meters, creating a deep circular pit.
This was Nanaya's first use of gravity.
In the blink of an eye, Nanaya used the power of his Frozen Fruit to suppress Kakuzu.
He also manipulated gravity, pressing Hidan into the ground for dozens of meters.
During the entire process, no one moved a step.
It was simply too exaggerated.
Kakashi and the others had fought desperately against these two, always being suppressed and pushed into a desperate situation.
But the moment Nanaya arrived, the situation flipped.
In the face of absolute power, knowing the opponent's abilities seemed irrelevant.
Do elephants need to know the abilities of ants? They do not.
Kakashi: "This guy Nanaya really opened my eyes!"
Shiranui Genma: "Me too!"
In front of him, even if it were an S-rank traitor, the members of the Akatsuki organization, who instilled terror in the ninja world, were mere playthings before him.
Gulp—
Kakashi and Genma swallowed hard, wearing wry smiles.
"This guy Nanaya has already reached the top; we can only look up at him."
Nanaya glanced at the deep hole, then locked his gaze on Kakuzu, raising his eyebrows.
He spoke contemptuously, "The Akatsuki organization? Just two of you? You're not enough to be taken seriously. You should have dispatched more members; maybe you could hold on for a few more seconds."
It is their misfortune to meet you.
And you know that it is your misfortune to meet me.
What is madness? This is madness!
