"Little Renye, what's wrong?"
Hashirama Senju saw Renye suddenly stop walking and couldn't help feeling curious.
"Uncle Hashirama, I need to talk to Kakuzu about something," Renye said.
"Then go. Don't start fighting him again."
"Mm, I know..."
Hashirama watched Renye leave and muttered softly, "I wonder what Little Renye wants to do?"
Renye had gone back to find Kakuzu because he had suddenly remembered that the guy seemed to be very rich in the original story.
Following the principle of never leaving empty-handed after meeting a thief, he planned to extort a hefty sum from him.
Meanwhile, Kakuzu struggled to climb up from the ground and staggered toward the village.
A vicious glint flashed through his eyes as he said coldly,
"Those damned higher-ups, I'll never forgive you!"
Since he had survived, those old fools in the village deserved to die.
Just then, Kakuzu heard footsteps behind him.
He instinctively turned around and met a pair of scarlet eyes.
"Y-you... why did you come back?" Kakuzu's face instantly turned pale as he stammered.
He thought Renye had come to kill him.
After all, the one who had promised to spare him was Hashirama Senju, not the Uchiha boy before him.
At that thought, Kakuzu closed his eyes in despair.
There was still a great deal of poison in his body. Even walking was difficult for him, so there was no way he could possibly be Renye's match.
The only thing he could do was close his eyes and wait for death.
Damn those old fools. You got lucky this time...
Strangely enough, at the final moment of his life, he did not fear death. Instead, he was more upset that the village higher-ups would get to live.
Renye had no idea why this guy had closed his eyes.
But
