Kakuzu Discusses Cooperation

Kakuzu had spent some time with Hiruko lately and had gotten to know him somewhat.

Hiruko had always been arrogant. Anything that could make him this excited had to be something he needed most.

As far as Kakuzu knew, Hiruko only lacked a Sharingan with three tomoe or more.

Obito was suddenly making so many moves—searching for Jinchuriki traces and corpses.

There was even a reward for finding corpses.

It seemed Obito was about to make a major move.

Kakuzu was highly sensitive to intelligence. He could immediately sell this information to Shamu, and given Shamu's generosity—

Even this sort of news could fetch eight to ten million.

A faint gleam lit up his eyes as he looked at Hiruko. He was preparing to pry for information and see if he could obtain more intelligence.

"You got the message too, right?"

Kakuzu spoke to Hiruko casually.

"Are you planning to choose a Jinchuriki corpse, or...?"

His recent cooperation with Kakuzu had been fairly pleasant, and Kakuzu's opening words directly misled Hiruko.

"Every village has moved their corpses recently. It probably won't be that simple."

Though Hiruko's ritual had succeeded and his strength had greatly increased, the fact remained that he had no subordinates.

They were not killing people now. They were searching for corpses.

Kakuzu snorted. "If it were simple, Obito wouldn't be spending so much."

What Obito had promised Hiruko was a Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

Naturally, Kakuzu had no use for such a thing. Hiruko asked, "What reward is Obito offering you?"

Kakuzu made a money-rubbing gesture with his fingers, then held up one finger.

Hiruko drew in a sharp breath. "That much?"

Kakuzu snorted. "A big reward is useless if you can't get it."

Hiruko considered it and realized that was true. The Shinobi World was now heavily guarded
