@StayTofik In my opinion I think Hashirama let him live, heβs a good guy after all, he likely took pity on Kakuzu, because there is no way Kakuzu stands a chance against Hashirama.
@ItsAnizen@StayTofik Yes because Obito didnβt want Itachi leaving the Akatsuki before hand and he took advantage of Itachiβs death to get close to Sasuke.
