[On the screen, Chiriku quickly ran out of strength under Kakuzu's dual assault and fell.
Just as Kakuzu was about to finish Chiriku off,
Hidan, who had been lying nearby for ages, hurriedly intervened.
"Come on, Kakuzu. I went to all the trouble of coming with you to this lousy place. At least let me offer this man to Lord Jashin," Hidan said hastily.
Kakuzu saw no problem with it, so he handed the dying Chiriku over to Hidan.
Hidan then began the ritual to offer him to Lord Jashin.
[Obito: Seriously? How can those two be so awful?]
[Yahiko: Exactly! There were so many innocent people, and they killed every last one of them.]
[Kakuzu: What are you two little brats talking about? In this world, human lives are worth far less than the joy money brings.]
[Obito: What would a guy who only has money on the brain know?]
[Obito: You could have spared the other innocent people.]
[Yahiko: It's because people like you exist that the Shinobi World is in constant turmoil. I, Yahiko, swear that one day I'll create a peaceful Shinobi World.]
[Ōnoki: If I'm not mistaken, didn't this Kakuzu later join your organization?]
[Konan: Please don't lump us together with people like him. Our goal has always been to work toward peace in the Shinobi World.]
Seeing Yahiko provoke Kakuzu so brazenly in the chat group, Nagato was deeply worried. He had just seen how powerful this man called Kakuzu was, and the three of them were definitely no match for him.
Yahiko seemed to notice Nagato's concern and said, "Don't worry, Nagato. We're chatting in the Inventory System. How could he possibly come looking for us?"
Nagato thought that made sense, so he stopped trying to dissuade Yahiko, who raised his voice and cursed even more freely.
How could an old man like Kakuzu win an argument against Yahiko and Obito? Their insults came one after another, driving him to the brink of a breakdown.
[ Ding! Strong willingness to fight detected on both sides. The system has specially opened the Shinobi World Arena.]
[Shinobi World Arena: The system will open a dedicated space for a match, and both sides will be transported there. No one will truly die during a match, but the loser will be penalized with a deduction of gold coins.]
[Gold coins can be obtained in exchange for ninja tools, Ninjutsu, lifespan, Chakra, and memories. Every match can be watched, with the price of admission determined by the strength of both sides.]
[Gold coins can be exchanged for prizes in the Inventory System.]
Everything fell silent. Obito was instantly at a loss for tears. I was just running my mouth. Why did the Inventory System take me seriously?
Kakuzu, on the other hand, looked excited. You two brats were having a great time cursing me just now, weren't you? Now that I've caught you, you're in for it.
Everyone else took the opportunity to open the shop and have a look.
[Eight Gates Released Formation: 10,000 gold coins Four Symbols Seal: 10,000 gold coins Kage Level Chakra: 10,000 gold coins Kage Level combat experience: 10,000 gold coins Basic Sage Body: 50,000 gold coins Mangekyō Sharingan: 50,000 gold coins ... Revival coin: 1,000,000 gold coins
Everyone was shocked by the prices. Kage Level Chakra alone cost ten thousand gold coins, and that didn't even include combat experience. If they bought it, wouldn't they have nothing but Kage Level Chakra?
When it came to an actual fight, it would still depend on who had more experience and whose Ninjutsu was stronger. You're charging this much for Chakra alone? Why don't you just rob us?
Before long, everyone was shocked again. A B-rank Ninjutsu was only worth ten gold coins, an A-rank Ninjutsu sold for only two hundred, and even an S-rank Ninjutsu was worth only five thousand. It took a full thousand B-rank Ninjutsu to exchange for Kage Level Chakra, and the crucial point was that it didn't even come with combat experience.
Before anyone could react,
[ Ding! Sold A-rank Ninjutsu Mystical Palm Technique: 200 gold coins. Sold B-rank Ninjutsu Heavenly Foot of Pain: 100 gold coins. Sold A-rank Ninjutsu Chakra Scalpel: 200 gold coins.
Tsunade then discovered to her surprise that selling a Ninjutsu didn't make it disappear from her mind, and once a Ninjutsu had been sold for the first time, no one else could sell it again.
So Tsunade sold all the Ninjutsu in her head, big and small, along with her S-rank Ninjutsu. She didn't even spare the C-rank techniques.
She was a medical-nin, after all. Generally, other medical-nin knew the Ninjutsu she knew. If she didn't sell them in advance, she would be the one unable to sell them later.
Tsunade then checked her gold coin balance. It had already reached a full 370,000, though she was still hundreds of thousands short of a million.
But remembering that money could also be converted into gold coins, Tsunade gave it a try. It took a whole thousand ryō to convert into one gold coin. It wasn't worth it at all.
Everyone was stunned by Princess Tsunade's move. They immediately sold off all their unimportant Ninjutsu too, only to discover that the techniques had either already been sold or were worth so little that it was no use at all.
By this point, no one cared about their secret Ninjutsu anymore. They sold them off in a frenzy, all to get more gold coins.
[ Ding! In the Shinobi World Duel Arena, bounty hunter Kakuzu will face Konoha Genin Obito Uchiha and Akatsuki leader Yahiko.]
Everyone in the Shinobi World was very interested in the match. After all, it was their first time seeing such a marvelous place, so they all bought tickets to watch.
Obito looked worried. He hadn't expected a few offhand remarks online to make this man called Kakuzu so furious that he was now determined to fight him one-on-one.
Rin looked worried too. Although Obito had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, he didn't know how to use it yet. After all, he had awakened it far too easily.
Though Obito now had the Mangekyō Sharingan with Kamui in both eyes, he couldn't make use of it.
Just then, Kakashi walked over. After spending a night talking at length with his father, Kakashi had finally understood the difficulties his father had faced, and the rift between them had long since been resolved.
"Obito, I have some gold coins here. See if they can help you," Kakashi said.
Obito looked uninterested. How many Ninjutsu could Kakashi possibly have? But when he looked, there were more than ten thousand gold coins.
Obito took a closer look and saw that Kakashi had sold his family's ancestral short blade.
Obito was moved again. He hadn't expected Kakashi to be so loyal at a crucial moment. So Obito decided to keep quiet about Kakashi reading smut, which Naruto had secretly told him about.
Rin encouraged him too. "Don't worry, Obito. We'll all be cheering for you."
Like a warrior ready to face death, Obito entered the arena without looking back.
