Chapter 102, Kakuzu Joins

2 days ago...

"No, don't kill me! Please!"

On a narrow transport road, corpses filled with the smell of blood were scattered around. A man with a grass-covered forehead protector lay on the ground and looked at the man who was approaching in front of him, with a look in his eyes. A look full of fear.

"You're not worth much money at all..." Kakuzu glanced at the ninja in front of him, took out a stack of small notebooks used to record bounty ninjas, and flipped through them.

After confirming that the guy in front of him was indeed worthless, Kakuzu used a black thread to finish him on the ground.

Seeing the horrified expression on the dead ninja's face, Kakuzu picked up a wallet scattered on the ground and tied it around his waist.

Just as he was about to leave here, an unusual chakra fluctuation came from the nearby jungle, causing Kakuzu to temporarily stop.

"That is…"

In the direction Kakuzu was looking, a figure gradually stepped out from the shadows covered by dense leaves. He had short orange hair, a forehead protector with a stripe in the middle, and was wearing a black robe. The strangest thing was that A pair of strange purple eyes and a black rod nailed to his body.

Kakuzu remembered that this person did not seem to exist in the reward order.

"Who are you?" Kakuzu said with cold eyes as he looked at Payne who was gradually approaching.

"Immortal ninja Kakuzu, I need you to join Akatsuki's organization, we need your power."

"Xiao? Is it the name of an organization?"

"Yes, Akatsuki is an organization dedicated to creating peace in the ninja world."

Kakuzu chuckled lightly after hearing Pain's cold remarks and put the kunai away.

"Oh, I have no interest in any force in the ninja world. You have found the wrong person. To me, only money and books worth reading have value in this world."

Pain was not surprised at all when he heard Kakuzu's rejection. What the organization wanted was this kind of strong person, but such an arrogant guy still needed a good education from him as the leader.

"It doesn't matter whether you are interested or not, just join."

Hearing Pain's very arrogant remarks, Kakuzu frowned unhappily.

"What an arrogant statement. It seems that you are also an extremely stupid guy who doesn't know your own abilities. Although you don't look very valuable, you did offend me a little bit..." The stitches on Kakuzu's body surged out. Black lines appeared one after another, and the huge chakra gradually became active.

Sensing Kakuzu's hostility, Pain closed his eyes and chuckled.

"You want to fight me? Fine, challenging a god is foolish."

Pain raised his steps and slowly walked towards Kakuzu's position and said: "If you are defeated by me, you will be included in Akatsuki."

Kakuzu looked at Pain who was coming over and said angrily: "You guy...except for the first generation, no one in this world has said that he wants to defeat me as calmly as you!"

ten minutes later…

In a huge pothole, the exhausted Jiaodu was pinned to the ground by Payne with one hand. There were several black rods nailed to his limbs and the surrounding monsters.

Pain and Jiaodu, who were squatting on the ground, looked at each other and said, "Okay, you have lost. Please sort it out and report to Yuyin Village with me. But don't worry, I will pay you the salary and certain rights together." For you."

Kakuzu:......

Time returned to the present, and Kakuzu, who was already in the Hidden Rain Village, recalled the scene where he was resisted by Payne and felt a slight sense of discomfort.

I don’t know if I can still make money every day after joining this organization as before. Kakuzu still likes the days when he is a bounty ninja and goes around taking heads to make money.

Wearing two bamboo hats, Kakuzu and Payne came to the vast hall where the Akatsuki organization usually held meetings, where both Xie and Xiaonan were present.

"Is this the new member? The body seems interesting." Xia glanced at Kakuto. This stitched body seemed to be somewhat similar to his human puppet, but the way it was made was too rough.

"Shouldn't we take a look at Hanzo the Sansho Fish first when we come here?" Kakuzu said in confusion as Pain led him directly to the end.

"Sansho Hanzo died a few years ago, and Akatsuki is now in control of everything in the Land of Rain."

Hearing Konan's explanation, Kakuzu looked a little surprised.

It turns out that Yuyin Village has been closed for so many years and has already changed hands?

"Well, now that you have arrived, a very important long-term task will be entrusted to you."

Hearing the mission mentioned by Pain, Kakuzu was stunned. He released the mission without even introducing the organization and the village. He wouldn't be tricked, although he had no choice. But if it was really a life without money in 996, Kakuzu would probably run away with the bucket in a few days.

"Mission, what is it?"

Payne looked at Kakuzu and said, "It's the financial management of the organization, but if you can't do it, you can continue to let Konan take charge."

When Kakuzu heard the word finance, his eyes seemed to light up.

"It seems that the leader's vision is indeed quite accurate. Although I am a bounty hunter, I am still quite sensitive to money."

Kakuzu agreed to manage the finances, which was a wonderful job. What he liked most was watching the money accumulate.

Payne nodded when he saw Kakuzu's reaction, and then took out Akatsuki Beidou's ring and black red cloud coat and handed them to him.

"Even if you have the long-term task of managing finances, you still have to follow the tasks assigned by the organization in your free time, you know?"

"Don't worry, as long as it's not a money-breaking task, I can do it." Kakuzu took off his bamboo hat and then put on the Akatsuki organization's robe.

When Kakuzu was still thinking that he was in the right place, another question Pain said made him frown.

Do you actually need teammates to do missions?

Kakuzu has been wandering in the ninja world alone all year round. He has become accustomed to this kind of life, but now he has to team up with others, which makes Kakuzu really unwilling.

In Kakuzu's eyes, most of his teammates are just a burden. If he angers him, he might even reward his teammates with a tentacle binding play and a heart interactive game.

"Don't worry, your teammates are pretty good. Although they are young, their fighting ability is not very bad."

"Ha, since the leader has said so, I will agree first, but if the guy on my team makes me angry, I won't show mercy." Kakuzu said arrogantly.

Just when Kakuzu crossed his arms and looked like he was the second in the world, a very impressive but slightly different chakra fluctuation appeared in Kakuzu's perception, making his pupils tremble.

This chakra! ?

Chapter 103: Interested in Kakuzu

"Huh? You actually started the newcomer's reception without waiting for me? It's so rude." After emerging from the ground, Jue spread his hands in disappointment and said.

Payne looked at Jue and said, "It's just that you came late."

"Really? I'm going to call this newcomer's friend's partner. She has just come out of seclusion. Is it okay to show her my future team?" Jue pointed at Jiaodu as if she felt aggrieved. said.

"Ah, am I the only one missing? It seems I came at the right time." After Jue came out and said a few words, Zhixue ran over from the entrance.

I just went to change clothes, so it took a while.

The moment he saw Zhixue coming out, Kakuzu raised his eyebrows and was very surprised.

Is the chakra he perceives similar to Hashirama just such a small thing? Looking at her age, could this be Senju Hashirama's great-granddaughter? But I've never heard of it.

Not only Kakuzu, but also Payne, who has the Samsara Eye, also found something wrong with Zhixue. (The virtual ring can hide chakra fluctuations, but the level of the samsara eye can detect it.)

Payne looked carefully in the direction of Zhixue, and the path of chakra flow and meridians gradually became clear.

"Wait, how come there is so much chakra? Is it because of the Nine Tails..." Pain murmured in shock after noticing the huge chakra aura on Zhixue.

"What's wrong?" Xiaonan, who felt little changed next to Payne, seemed to have noticed that Payne's expression was not right, so she asked.

"Ah, it's okay, I'm just thinking about the changes in Yuyin Village's financial management policy..."

……

In this reception, Kakuzu successfully served as Zhixue's second-generation good teammate, but Kakuzu seemed unhappy in his heart. After the game ended, he came to Zhixue and asked: "Hey, kid , who are you from Hashirama?"

Kakuzu looked at Zhixue's childish face and thought for a long time. He really didn't expect that the heir of a big man like Hashirama, who calmed down troubled times, would be living outside, and it was a coincidence that he met him here.

Hearing Kakuzu's question, Zhixue put three question marks on his head.

You may replace Hashirama with Madara, and I can open the family tree and check it out, but if you say Hashirama, then you have to turn to the top of the book, The Age of the Sage of Six Paths, turn around and then come back.

"Hey, uncle, it's very impolite to ask about other people's genealogy, and I'm not a member of the Thousand Hands clan."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible, I will never mistake this chakra aura!" Kakuzu denied it personally, feeling the familiar yet unfamiliar chakra in Zhixue's body. He had fought against Senju Hashirama, so It was a special chakra aura that he would never forget in his life.

Buzz —

Kakuzu: Huh?

Looking at the scarlet Sharingan pattern emerging from Zhixue's eyes, Kakuzu felt that his whole mind was in a brainstorm.

I have figured out the love-hate relationship between Senju Hashirama and the Uchiha girl, or some secret experimental research under Konoha...

"Uncle, I am an Uchiha clan, not a descendant of Hashirama as you said." Zhixue said as he spread his hands as Kakuzu seemed to be in shock and contemplation.

What he said was true. Uchiha Shisui was her biological brother, and her appearance also had black eyes and black hair. She had the characteristics of the Uchiha clan, and there was no other bloodline.

Although Zhiyuki still tried his best to prove that he was an Uchiha, Kakuzu just didn't believe in evil and believed that Zhiyuki must be the bloodline left by Hashirama, because the aura of chakra cannot lie.

Seeing how Kakuzu seemed to be talking to Zhixue from above, Konan asked Pain, "What do you think, Pain?"

"Xiaoyuki seems to have an unexpected attraction to Kakuzu, but there should be no danger. Although she is still a child, her ability to defeat Orochimaru shows that she is not bad at all."

Regarding Payne's analysis, Xiaonan also nodded.

Looking at it this way, there is indeed no danger, but isn't Kakuzu a little too high-spirited? Could it be that this guy likes torturers like Koyuki as much as Orochimaru?

In fact, Kakuzu is not interested in Zhiyuki's appearance and age at all. What he is interested in is Zhiyuki's chakra. Strictly speaking, it should be the god of ninja, Senju Hashirama.

Regarding Kakuzu's constant questioning of Senju Hashirama, Zhixue's forehead was covered with black lines.

Uncle, your character is ruined! Shouldn't it be Madara Uchiha who always speaks between columns on the left and on the right? What does it have to do with you, a killer you have only met once?

……

Thanks to Kakuzu's need to take over the financial department of Yuyin Village, Zhixue temporarily got rid of Senju Hashirama's "hard fan", returned to the bedroom, chose to lie down, and distributed the system before I took out some snacks to replenish my status.

"System, help me check the secret ninjutsu scroll about Mu Dun." Zhixue said after stuffing a piece of chocolate into his mouth.

Ding, got it.
