Kakuzu accepted the first commission but not the second.
Upon noticing the three mbers of the Seven Ninja Swordsn of the Mist, Kakuzu turned and ran.
This didn't an Kakuzu was afraid of Jinin Akebino and the other two. Rather, in Kakuzu's view, fighting three of the Seven Ninja Swordsn for Baki's sake was clearly an unprofitable business.
Thus, Baki was left alone.
The three of them stood in three different directions, firmly surrounding Baki.
Young Baki tightly gripped a short sword.
Jinin Akebino looked at Baki, a look of hatred in his eyes.
"Look what we have here? A young Sand Village ninja all alone."
"Baki, right? I've heard of you, Rasa's personal disciple."
"I didn't expect to run into you here, and alone at that. It seems my luck is pretty good. That teacher of yours is treacherous and has hard my Mist Village many tis. I wanted to settle the score with him."
"But he's lucky and manages to dodge it every ti."
"Since I've run into you this ti, then you will pay the debt for him."
At this mont, Baki understood that no matter what, he had no chance of survival.
Whether begging for rcy or surrendering, only death awaited him.
Once he realized this, Baki actually stopped being afraid.
Facing Jinin Akebino, he only let out a cold laugh.
"Jinin Akebino, you can't beat my teacher, so you can only co to bully , his disciple?"
"Is this what the dignified Seven Ninja Swordsn of the Mist are like?"
"One isn't enough, so three co?"
"Are the ninja of the Mist Village all this incompetent?"
"No wonder you are losing."
"You want to kill , right? Co on, I, Baki, am right here. But rember this, if you kill , my teacher will definitely avenge . None of you will escape."
"The Mist Village will definitely lose."
"And you will definitely die."
Jinin Akebino's face darkened.
"You brat have so backbone. I just wonder if you can still be this tough when my Helt Splitter shatters your bones."
"I will crush every single bone in your body, one by one."
Kushimaru Kuriarare interjected.
"Then leave this brat's internal organs to . Let stitch them into a flower."
Raiga Kurosuki didn't speak, just grinning broadly.
Jinin Akebino took out the Helt Splitter.
A blade in one hand, a hamr in the other, he walked toward Baki step by step.
Baki gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, staring fixedly at Jinin Akebino.
Suddenly, Jinin Akebino accelerated.
The Helt Splitter in his hand was raised high.
Baki held his sword horizontally in front to block.
Jinin Akebino let out a cold laugh.
"Just this? How could it possibly block my Helt Splitter?"
The next mont, the Helt Splitter fell.
Clang!
The sound of tal clashing erupted violently.
Baki's sword was seen breaking directly.
The Helt Splitter in Jinin Akebino's hand continued downward.
Suddenly.
Bang!
On the ground, a mass of gold dust exploded violently, splitting into two streams. One stream surged toward Jinin Akebino, while the other carried Baki's body, retreating rapidly.
A figure landed.
A hand rested on Baki's shoulder.
"Baki, go to the side."
Hearing this familiar voice, Baki revealed an expression of imnse surprise and joy.
"Teacher!"
"I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble again."
Rasa waved his hand.
"I don't bla you. These people from the Mist Village are just like this. If it wasn't you, it would be soone else."
When Rasa saw Jinin Akebino and the other two surrounding Baki, he couldn't help but think of a scene from the original storyline.
The dignified Seven Ninja Swordsn, with all seven present, surrounded Might Guy and two other young Konoha ninja.
Either the matchmaking chanism on the battlefield between Konoha and the Mist was truly defying the heavens.
Or Might Guy and the others were simply extrely unlucky.
There was another possibility: the Seven Ninja Swordsn did this deliberately.
Bullying the weak with the strong, bullying the few with the many...
Toying with Might Guy and the other two like mice.
Doing such things with their status as the Seven Ninja Swordsn, they didn't feel it was degrading at all; instead, they seed to enjoy it.
Just like now, facing Baki.
Jinin Akebino's strength alone was far above the current Baki.
But he insisted on bringing along Kushimaru Kuriarare and Raiga Kurosuki.
And they didn't kill Baki imdiately but toyed with him.
The goal wasn't to kill, but to vent.
However, in a sense, Rasa had to thank these three Seven Ninja Swordsn for this decision. Otherwise, Baki would have been dead by now and couldn't have lasted until his arrival.
Rasa still valued Baki quite a bit.
The Sand Village of the past lacked talent.
The Sand Village of the present lacked talent.
The Sand Village of the future would still lack talent just the sa.
And Baki was already a very decent one in the future Sand Village.
He didn't have the bearing of a Kazekage, but being a Kazekage's assistant was still feasible.
A mass of gold dust wrapped around Baki, rising rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon, he reached a high altitude.
The Yatagarasu approached and grabbed Baki with a claw.
However, it didn't use too much force, so it just hurt a little.
"So this is Teacher's summoning beast."
Then, Baki looked down again.
"Teacher, he will win, right?"
Baki had been outside the Sand Village for this period, but he knew about the big news in the ninja world.
The Kaguya clan of the Mist Village rebelled, and the Third Mizukage was heavily injured.
The Beni-yama clan of the Sand Village rebelled, hundreds of ninja ambushed Rasa, but were killed by Rasa instead.
"I didn't expect the Beni-yama clan to commit such a treasonous act and even sell out village intelligence. The reason the village fell into such a disadvantage against the Mist Village before must be largely due to the Beni-yama clan's efforts."
"Truly disgusting to the extre."
"Fortunately, Teacher hid his strength."
"Really strong."
"I wonder if one day I can reach Teacher's level."
The mont Rasa appeared, the expressions of Jinin Akebino, Kushimaru Kuriarare, and Raiga Kurosuki instantly beca ugly, staring warily at Rasa.
"Fourth Kazekage, Rasa!"
Jinin Akebino's expression was serious.
"You ca really fast. Relying on that giant summoning beast of yours? Running so far for a disciple, alone. It seems you really treat this disciple well."
"Aren't you afraid that you can co, but you won't be able to leave?"
"Or do you think that because you could kill the Beni-yama clan, you don't fear us, the Seven Ninja Swordsn?"
"We are different from those people."
"That ninjutsu of yours, and the Yatagarasu, won't have such a good effect on us."
Jinin Akebino was very apprehensive, but after analyzing Rasa's abilities, the tension in his heart decreased a lot. He even felt that for them, this was very likely an opportunity.
An opportunity to kill Rasa.
Three against one. No, actually four against one.
"The advantage is mine!"
