The Adventurous Gamer Ninja - Daichi Hekima [Vol. 02]

Chapter 391 - Earth Style: Great Eruption

In Dragon's palm rotated a compact sphere of deep-brown energy, radiating an oppressive, almost suffocating aura.

Kakuzu's eyes widened as he immediately sensed the danger. 'That chakra—it's incredibly dense!' The immortal man could sense the massive power contained in the small glowing sphere. 'It's Earth chakra nature. How can an earth jutsu have so much power?'

In an instant Kakuzu's survival instincts kicked into high gear. 'No! I can't let myself get hit by that... Or I'll die.'

The moment that thought came to his mind, the masks with the lightning and wind nature hearts opened their maws. Panicking internally, Kakuzu desperately forced his chakra to gather. Without wasting a moment, Kakuzu fired his jutsus.

"Lightning Style: False Darkness!" "Wind Style: Pressure Damage."

Two powerful jutsu of lightning and wind nature formed in a second and fired towards Dragon who was falling towards him. 'I won't miss him at this range..'

Dragon had contempt as he saw the desperate attempt his foe made. His senses captured the jutsu coming towards him and just before they were several centimeters away from him, Dragon disappeared.

Kakuzu didn't even have time to register what had happened before he felt the touch of the reaper approaching.

The teleportation marker on Kakuzu's back activated and Dragon appeared directly behind him in a flash. Sensing the threat, Kakuzu tried to have his masked beasts move away from his position as fast as possible. But it was too late.

Dragon's arm outstretched and his palm was pressed forward with the compact whirling sphere of spiraling earthen chakra.

"Earth Style Rasengan: Great Eruption!"

The Rasengan, no larger than the size of an orange, glowed an ominous brown color. It was churning with immense density and had tremendous power. Dragon rammed the sphere into Kakuzu's back with all his force.

A second after the sphere made contact with the Akatsuki ninja, Dragon vanished from the immediate vicinity so as to not get caught in the blast radius of his own jutsu.

He reappeared hundreds of meters away and looked at his enemy.

The Lightning masked beast was the first to come in contact with the jutsu. It shattered in an instant due to the sheer power of the Rasengan.

"Wha—?!" Kakuzu's alarmed gasp was cut off as the sphere drilled into him. The effect was instantaneous and catastrophic. The concentrated earth chakra exploded outward through Kakuzu's body.

"Aaaarrr!" He screamed in pain as his limbs began stiffening rapidly. His limbs were starting to become solid stone in mere moments.

As the foreign chakra invaded his body, his chest began turning to stone from the point of impact. The jutsu petrified flesh and threads alike. It's momentum carried Kakuzu off his feet.

He felt the petrification creep along his left shoulder and coughed violently as his black threads snapped. "Damn you..." he rasped, his eyes flicking to his enemy far away.

Then came the eruption. All the built-up chakra detonated in a single, focused moment.

BOOOOOM!

A deafening shockwave erupted instantly. It shattered the ground beneath Kakuzu's feet and pulverized nearby rocks into dust. The quake triggered by the Earth Rasengan collided with each launched mask and the force generated smashed them against newly formed boulders and slabs of rock.
