Land of Fire.
In the forest,
Boom!!!
An all out battle seemed to be taking place, trees in hundreds of meters all uprooted, the ground charred and levelled completely.
Swish!!!
Keng!!!
A figure with red eyes and three black magatama in them, holding a blade enveloped in dark orange flames was currently under attack.
Around him were four monsters formed of black thread with mask faces, attacking him together, punches, sharp threads all being deployed at him.
Though the red eyed figure was moving gracefully, his eyes spinning around as he kept dodging all the attacks, with the flame blade in his hands cutting threads aimed at him as well.
"These things don't even dodge unless I aim at the face, clearly that's the weak point!"
"Surrounded like this, I won't be able to attack precisely on the weak point, I need to end them in one attack!"
Even when engaged in a 1vs4 fight, Kagami was still able to analyze what was happening and able to come up with plans to deal with the enemy.
Swish!!
Earth Release: Earth Spear!
Just when Kagami formed a plan in his mind, Kakuzu who was hiding suddenly appeared from behind the fire mask monster, that was in the shape of a demonic tiger, his fist with a black coating on it, smashed towards Kagami.
Boom!!!
The fist was aimed towards the head, on the way to burst it completely.
At this moment Kagami showed what his visual powers enabled him to do, drilling the blade in his hands to the ground and stepping on the hilt to hurl himself in the air.
"Tsk! Annoying Uchiha!"
The movements of Kagami resulted in Kakuzu's sneak attack failing, who didn't shy away from showing his displeasure.
In the air, Kagami seemed to have gotten the time to act on his plan, quickly making hand signs.
The moment Kagami finished the last seal, flames appeared around his both hands but all centering between the both palms next moment.
Between the palms of Kagami glowed an orange sphere, the raw energy concentrated in the small sphere could be felt easily, the air palpating.
"That's no ordinary jutsu! I'll never be able to outrun it's range!"
"I'll meet this head on!!!"
The green eyes of Kakuzu had a solemn look, from the sphere in the palms of Kagami he feeling extreme danger.
But he didn't show fear and with confidence in his abilities, decided to meet it head on.
Katon: Kudakasei no Jutsu (Fire Release: Shatterforce Technique)
Kagami who began to free fall raised the sphere in his palms high and smashing it down next instance, shouting.
Kakuzu acted on the same time as well, the lightning and wind monster around him moving at the same time.
Raiton: Gian (Lightning Style: False Darkness)
Fūton: Atsugai (Wind Style: Pressure Damage)
A blue beam of light jetted from the mouth of lightning mask monster, going straight towards the falling sphere.
On the ground a huge spherical spinning cyclone appeared as well, the fast wind blowing everything around towards the sky.
BOOM!!!!!
The lightning beam hit the small orange sphere precisely, whether it was Kakuzu or Kagami, both unable to hear anything the moment after the collision of jutsu, an orange light enveloping everything.
Bang!!!!
Thwack!!!
Wherever the orange light travelled, everything got evaporated like it never existed, huge trees and boulders disintegrating into nothing.
After a few moments the orange light vanished, at the center of explosion a charred deep pit spanning at least 200 meters.
HA...HA..
At the center of the pit two figures, one on his knees panting, the other barely standing, around him burned threads and broken masks with blood on them.
"You Bastard! Look....what have you done!"
Said Kakuzu in gasps, his green eyes now full of hatred for the man before him.
His combined jutsu was barely able to save him from Kagami's jutsu, his other four hearts all getting destroyed.
"I hoped to end you completely with that, you truly are strong!"
Said Kagami who had blood running down to the cheeks from his left eye, in a disappointed tone.
Takigakure-Ryū: Mizukiri no Yaiba (Takigakure Style: Watercutting Sword)
At his words Kakuzu didn't say anything anymore and printed quick seals, a long blade of water forming condensing in his right hand.
Looking at the water blade in his hands, Kakuzu had some emotion hidden deep in his green eyes.
This was the jutsu he mostly used when he was still a shinobi of Takigakure, but that village betrayed him when for their sake he performed the sure death mission of assassinating the First Hokage.
Now that his technique Earth Grudge Fear was destroyed by Kagami, all that left in his arsenal were the jutsu he learned in Takigakure.
Fire Style!! Fiery Blade!
Kagami using the remaining bit chakra in his body condensed a fire sword in his right hand in response to Kakuzu, the fight between two top tier shinobi entering the climax.
