112: Dance

Dance

"You're dead."0

Kakuzu cackled as he endured the pain induced by the red electricity. The mask on his back opened its mouth, generating a concentrated mass of wind, facing Jun at point-blank range.

Faced with wind pressure, Jun unexpectedly smiled.

Converting all of his remaining chakra into yang, he infused it into the electricity and watched it grow.

"What are you-" Interrupting Kakuzu's words, the electricity went rampant in his body, destroying every fiber of hair and his remaining hearts in the process.

"GUAAAGH!" Kakuzu roared in pain as he felt his very being crumble.

The mask on his back --Seemingly losing its power-- crumbled to pieces.

"I... How..." Feeling all of his energy leave his body, Kakuzu fell on his knees, his hair losing its previous strength and ferocity.

As the criminal fell on his face, Jun was finally released from the hair. Deactivating his eyes and jutsu, he fell on one knee.

Entirely out of chakra, he struggled to catch his breath. After a while, he finally managed to speak, with difficulty.

"Your mistake... Was assuming that I could only pierce one heart."

"What... do you mean..." Feeling his life fade away, Kakuzu lay motionless on the ground, his words spoken in a feeble tone.

"You danced in the palm of my hands." Struggling to get back on his feet, Jun made a small smile. "Your thoughts became predictable."

"I knew you would try and lock me in place, so I made use of that opportunity."

"..." Laying down in silence, Kakuzu felt defeated. A kid had played him like a fool.

Slowly losing his sense of touch, Kakuzu's last sensation was the cold, hard ground pressing against his cheek.

'What a joke... I've lived for so many years... Only to be... Beaten by a child...'

Unable to accept his fate, Kakuzu slowly closed his eyes, breathing his last breath.

Jun quietly watched as Kakuzu's life faded, an empathetic expression on his face. The reason he had explained himself to Kakuzu, was that he had earned his respect.

"Thank you... It was a good dance."

Meanwhile, somewhere in the Uchiha compound.

Masaki was overseeing his clansmen's training. Not all of them were present for a variety of reasons, but those that had some free time were asked to attend.

He had spent the entire day learning and teaching them both of the Jutsu Jun had gifted him.

The younger ones, mostly Genin and some academy students, were still figuring out the big-lungs technique. All of them, including the adults, were impressed at the tremendous effect it had on their fire style.

Those who had already figured out that technique were allowed to move on to the camouflage one, which all of them struggled with. After all, it was a water-style jutsu, which their clan wasn't proficient with.

With that said, a few of the older ninja were able to learn it and left after giving Masaki their thanks. They were all there to learn the basics; after all, mastery would come after extended usage.

Masaki specified that these techniques came from Jun, so the entire clan's opinion of him skyrocketed. With these two techniques --Which took the Uchiha clan's strengths and bettered them tremendously-- Would significantly boost their raw strength and survivability in battle.

As for the members that worked in the Anbu, Masaki notified them so that they would pass by during their breaks. Since all of them had matured Sharingan, he only needed to perform the techniques for them to understand and leave.

So far, only a few had passed by. Even so, Masaki could feel the strength of his entire clan rise.

'Soon, we shall display our value to the leaf...!'
