"I can communicate with Qing Shui, it's just a mere chakra, I, Senju Tobirama, don't even take you seriously!"
When Uchiha Madara began to withdraw into himself and Senju Tobirama was enthusiastically searching for the enemy in the void...
Qingshui was very realistic. He ignored the two old men who couldn't explode gold coins for the time being. He slowly walked to Kakuzu's side and looked at his broken body.
Very miserable.
Two hearts were pierced by Qingshui's heavy sword, one heart was shattered by his own aftermath, and the other was directly pierced by the water dragon...
Only the last shattered heart mask was left, barely holding together, holding Kakuzu's life.
"Kill me..."
Kakuzu lay flat on the wet ground and said calmly, "After so much hardship in the ninja world, it's time for me to leave this place."
"It's not unfair for me to die at the hands of a kid with your talent."
Qingshui looked at Kakuzu silently, and a touch of emotion passed through his heart.
Even though Qing Shui crushed him with Tobirama's power, Kakuzu's heart was not shocked at all. Instead, it was not as shocking as when Qing Shui mocked him for fighting with Senju Hashirama...
Ninjas in the ninja world are sometimes so strange. Only the things in the deepest part of their hearts can affect their emotions, especially old monsters like Kakuzu.
"You are a ninja from Takigakure Village?"
Qing Shui picked up a forehead protector from Kakuzu. There was a waterfall pattern on it, and a mark carved by force...
"What? You've been a bounty hunter for so long, and you're still wearing the village's forehead protector?"
"Little devil, if you want to kill me, just do it, don't ask these boring questions."
Kakuzu lay flat on the ground and pointed at the last heart reluctantly: "Be more ruthless and give me a quick death."
"A body like yours would be more valuable as living research material..."
Qing Shui slowly sat down next to Kakuzu, smiled faintly and said: "For example, seal you up, keep you alive, and then slowly study the black lines in your body..."
Kakuzu's eyes fixed.
Although he is not afraid of death, if he falls into that kind of situation, as a strong man with dignity, it would be much worse than death!
Just when he wanted to say something to anger Qingshui and have a dignified death.
Qing Shui laughed and shook his head: "I said, I won this battle unfairly, so I will not treat you like that, but give you a decent death."
"But, in return..."
Qing Shui raised a finger and said with a smile: "It's a small thing. I want you to do a small thing for me."
Kakuzu remained silent. What could he accomplish in this state?
But he nodded anyway: "Go ahead, kid."
"I am a person who loves to listen to stories. I want to know why you betrayed Takigakure, and why you are so obsessed with money despite your strength?"
Qing Shui sighed and said slowly:
"Forgive my rudeness, but I am really curious. Can money satisfy the needs of a ninja with the power of a shadow? And why would a ninja who betrayed the village decades ago still wear the village's forehead protector..."
The corners are tilted too far.
This is the story he has buried deep in his heart. Telling Qingshui about it is not much different from being tortured.
"I want to hear this because you are a worthy opponent..."
Qing Shui's voice seemed to carry magic, captivating people: "I will keep it a secret, and only I know it. I swear on the honor of the Uchiha clan."
Kakuzu struggled for a moment, but finally nodded resignedly and began to tell his story.
"I was originally a jonin in Takigakure Village. At that time, I was still very young and I liked that place..."
"But one day, I was ordered by the higher-ups to assassinate Senju Hashirama. At that time, I didn't know what kind of person he was. With his tolerance and mercy, I had a chance to escape, but I was locked up by the higher-ups and sentenced to death..."
"The ninja who risked his life for the village was treated cruelly... From then on, I knew that they just wanted to kill me, so I broke out of prison, seized the village's secret technique, and killed all the high-ranking officials..."
"During that time, none of my former friends stood up for me, but I don't want to blame them. There has never been anything real in this ninja world. Everything is fake."
Kakuzu's voice became deeper and deeper, as if he was in a state of last-minute enlightenment, and the emotion in his tone became stronger: "After becoming a bounty hunter, I gradually discovered the beauty of money..."
"In this fake world, only money is the most real thing. Compared to those false promises and fetters, money can always be exchanged for an equal amount of goods!"
Qing Shui listened to Kakuzu's story silently and fell into deep thought.
Kakuzu's experience reminded Qingshui of Hatake Sakumo.
However, compared to Hatake Sakumo who committed suicide, Kakuzu is fierce and violent...
"Why, you don't think I'm a good person?"
Kakuzu grinned: "Don't be disgusting, I don't need your pity!"
Qingshui shook his head slowly: "I don't care whether you are a good person or a bad person..."
"But I really don't want to kill you."
Qing Shui looked down at Kakuzu and said softly, "How about this, you tell me where you keep your money, and then work for me for another ten years, and I'll buy back your life, how about that?"
Kakuzu sneered.
Sure enough, no matter how strong the kid is, he is still a kid and can use such clumsy words.
Even more immature than that Tsunade!
In Kakuzu's opinion, Qingshui had no reason not to kill him. This was just a trick he used to squeeze out the last bit of value from him before he died.
As long as he said it, Muramasa's blade would immediately pierce his heart.
But in order to seek death, Kakuzu made up a story about where the gold was hidden, and then waited peacefully for his death.
But to Kakuzu's surprise, Qingshui did not make a move, but walked away.
A moment later, Qingshui brought the corpse of a bandit and placed it in front of him: "Although I don't think it can meet your requirements, you can still use it for the time being. After all, the situation is urgent."
Kakuzu was stunned. What did this mean? Are they really not going to kill him?
"Kid, do you know what you are doing..." Kakuzu's eyes were cold: "Are you going to humiliate me?"
Qing Shui smiled helplessly and flicked the Takigakure forehead protector in his hand: "Do you think I'm a high-ranking official of Takigakure?"
Qing Shui looked directly at Kakuzu, his eyes full of sincerity: "I am not playing with fire, nor am I letting the tiger go back to the mountain...but I am thinking about what you said - is there really no reality in this ninja world?"
"The current situation is that you took the initiative to kill me, but now the condition for me to forgive you is just to work for me for ten years. My condition is not too much, right?"
Qing Shui looked straight at Kakuzu and said slowly: "If you believe that this ninja world still has reality, then you should keep your words..."
"If you regret it after today, I am not afraid of having you as an enemy, but I understand the falsehood of the ninja world, which is worth it for me."
Kakuzu's heart trembled. Did this strange Uchiha kid really listen to his story?
"Don't waste time, Kakuzu, tell me your choice like a man."
Qing Shui looked down at Kakuzu and said irritably, "Your procrastination has made me feel the fakeness of the ninja world..."
Kakuzu remained silent for a long time. After a moment, he slowly said, "The contract is established. But it's only for ten years. I will only work for you for ten years."
Qing Shui nodded, gave him a look of disdain, picked out the bandit's heart neatly, and stuffed it into Kakuzu's back: "Okay, go ahead, I'll contact you when I need you."
Kakuzu's back squirmed, and the black lines sucked the vitality of the heart, allowing him to barely recover from his near-death state.
Kakuzu slowly stood up and stared at Qingshui without hesitation, as if trying to see his true intention: "Don't you still want money? Tell me, how can I give you the money I saved..."
Qingshui waved his hand and said, "Please keep it for me first. When I need it, I will go to the exchange office to send a notice and you will know."
"Go ahead, we'll see each other again someday, my first worker."
“Little brat…” Kakuzu snorted coldly, but didn’t know what to refute.
He really was Qingshui's worker, and he still owed ten years of death indentures, and his savings were cleared by him...
Kakuzu stood up and walked slowly out of the valley.
Based on Kakuzu's experience, he knew that the best thing to do at this moment was to escape as quickly as possible.
But his steps were slow, as if he was waiting for Muramasa to pierce his chest again, and then Qingshui would let out a twisted laugh and play a cat-and-mouse game with his self-esteem...
It's not that Kakuzu suffers from paranoia, but that many ninjas have such twisted hearts.
But Kakuzu didn't wait until he reached the exit of the valley and couldn't help but look back.
Qingshui sat on the ground to rest, and noticed his gaze, and even waved goodbye to him.
"Tsk... you are such a boring kid. Ten years later, I will find a new way to kill you..."
Kakuzu was furious, but still waved his hand awkwardly at Qingshui.
[From the opposing target Kakuzu: You gain Earth Grudge (Chakra Mimicry)! ]
[Earthly Blade (Chakra Mimicry): Your chakra can mimic the Earthly Blade, absorbing the vitality and chakra of others, and performing complex surgical operations.]
"You don't seem to be very honest, Kakuzu-san?"
Listening to the pleasant electronic sound, Qing Shui smiled and said to himself in his heart: "I wonder how long it will take for Asuma and Tsunade to come back?"
"Well, let's not heal the wound for now. It looks more powerful with the wound..."
