Kusagakure, this village is a small country surrounding Land of Fire. It seems that its only value is as a strategic buffer zone.
If any great ninja village doesn't want to keep a buffer zone, Kusagakure can be destroyed at any time.
But if you really think so, you would be wrong.
Genitsu stood in Hokage's office with an indifferent expression, looking like a politician bent on seeking benefits for Konoha.
"This must be Lord Genitsu. I have admired his name for a long time, but the 20% bounty is too much. This is the price that only a defeated country should pay. We are here to form an alliance with Konoha." Mui frowned slightly, looking worried about the country and the people.
Genitsu sneered, "An alliance? You know the meaning of this alliance better than anyone else. It is nothing more than seeking Konoha's asylum and not launching a war with you. If you want to be safe, you have to pay a price, and the 20% bounty cannot be less."
Mui looked worried.
But he was actually not panicked at all.
20%? Even if it is 40%, what does it matter? Anyway, he is just the Hozuki Castle city lord in Land of Grass, not the leader of Kusagakure.
Mui doesn't care about these things at all.
As long as he signs the covenant, he will return to Hozuki Castle, and he does not need to pay attention to the rest.
Compared with this, Genitsu itself is obviously more attractive to him. If he can bring back Kusagakure...
Mui A trace of regret flashed in his eyes.
It's a pity that this guy is too strong. No matter how many Chakra there are, he still has to live to enjoy them.
In the end, Minato made the final decision and asked Kusagakure to pay 15% of the task fee as a reward, killing Kusagakure severely.
Genitsu looked at Mui's leaving figure with a trace of sarcasm on his lips.
"This guy seems to be very interested in me." Genitsu said.
"Well, I also discovered it. I probably heard about your bad reputation. What you did to the Hidden Cloud envoys made these envoys very scared." Minato smiled.
Genitsu also nodded, seeming to agree with this point of view.
He estimated the time.
Speaking of which, the village Kusagakure does have a lot of good things. On the one hand, the descendants of Uzumaki are, and on the other hand, that thing... Box of Bliss.
It is said to be able to grant any wish, but in fact it creates a monster that gathers negative energy and swallows fear.
It is said that the ninjas of Kusagakure used this thing to almost rule the world in the era of Sage of Six Paths.
Well, this "almost" is very interesting.
Kakuzu almost killed First Hokage.
Danzo almost beat Six Paths of Pain to death.
Mui suddenly said, "Lord Hokage, we also hope that Konoha can send a team to us Land of Grass."
Soon after, Mui walked out of Hokage Building with an expressionless face. Following the normal process, after signing the covenant, they were ready to leave.
But Mui took advantage of this little time to wander around Konoha, looking at these high-quality ninjas with a look of admiration.
Many Konoha Ninja looked at this outsider wearing Grass Ninja Forehead Protector, and looked at the expression on this guy's face, feeling satisfied and proud.
But they didn't know what Mui admired was what would happen if these ninjas were stuffed into Box of Bliss.
"I spent so long and worked hard to collect Chakra, but I didn't even get enough Chakra to open Box of Bliss. If it were placed in Konoha, it would be easy to open Box of Bliss, not to mention there is Tailed Beasts in this village."
Mui sighed, he really felt envious.
In large villages, talented ninjas emerge in endlessly.
Two-Tails, Nine-Tails, and Genitsu. If you can catch any one of these three guys in your hand, he will definitely be able to open Box of Bliss to make a wish.
"Sir Mui, we are ready and can leave at any time." A Grass Ninja found him and reported.
Mui said, "In this case, without further ado, let's go... huh?"
Suddenly, he saw Naruto, who felt the terror from Chakra. His eyes lit up, but then dimmed again.
"It's a pity that we can't capture this guy... But I have thought of another way to get Chakra together. If I can't do it myself, I can hire someone else to do it."
Mui thought that there was another guy among Shinobi World who had Tailed Beasts level Chakra, the man known as Tailless Tailed Beast.
Akatsuki... It seems that he will pay a lot of money to hire this organization. Only this organization can give him what he wants.
Mui thought silently.
No one knew his plan.
Mui led the team and after returning to Land of Grass, he first reported the conclusion of the alliance to the leader of Kusagakure.
"Actually asking for 15% of the mission bounty? This kind of amount... forget it, it's barely acceptable." Kusagakure's leader looked very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do about it.
The current Konoha is so powerful that just sending a strong Kage Level can defeat their village. They have no choice at all.
From now on, every time Kusagakure completes a task, he will give 15% of the total bounty to Konoha to obtain safety and shelter.
"Expenditures in various aspects will be reduced next year. With 15% of the bounty... we will not be able to train the same number of ninjas as in the past." Kusagakure leader waved his hand.
Mui withdrew respectfully and returned directly to Hozuki Castle.
Hozuki Castle, throughout Land of Grass, is notorious and is the grave of countless villains.
The reason why Mui is able to rule the city powerfully as the city lord and control those extremely vicious criminals is essentially because he masters an extremely powerful Sealing Jutsu.
As long as he is hit by this technique, even Tailed Beasts cannot break free easily.
Yes, Mui is much stronger than ordinary people imagine. The reason why his name is not spread among Shinobi World is his low-key acting style, as well as his lack of record against the strong Kage Level and Tailed Beasts, which are important reasons.
Mui himself doesn't value those false reputations at all.
Wow!
Hozuki Castle's door slowly opened.
Mui looked indifferent as Earth Flow entered. In the city, the criminals who were fighting each other were still shouting and fighting. After seeing Mui, they suddenly fell silent, with looks of resentment and fear on their faces.
"Mui..."
"He came back so soon? Bastard, I missed a good opportunity to escape!"
"Oh, there's a seal on your body, how could you escape? Don't be kidding me!"
Many criminals stared at Mui.
At this time, a strong man rushed out with a ferocious expression. "Mui, I want to challenge you!"
"Okay, I like challenges. According to the agreement between you and me, if you beat me, you can leave here." Mui nodded casually.
Standing directly in the center of the square.
The strong man raised his fist and roared at him, but Mui kicked him away with just a light kick.
"Asshole, if my Chakra was not sealed, I could kill you with one move!" The other party was very angry.
More people couldn't hold back and rushed towards Mui, but they were all easily knocked down by Mui.
These people have all been hit by Sealing Jutsu and cannot use Chakra. They have essentially become a group of stronger ordinary people and cannot be the opponents of a strong person like Mui.
In addition, there are a large number of ninjas stationed in Hozuki Castle. As long as the guy is caught, there is no chance of escaping.
Jinchuriki doesn't work, Mui said it.
After solving these tool men, Mui plans to make a last ditch effort. If Box of Bliss still cannot get Box of Bliss to open all these criminals, then he will have no choice but to ask for help from Akatsuki.
"Father, please teach me how to practice." His son ran in.
"Muku, I'm very busy, don't bother me." Mui said coldly.
The young Muku was stunned on the spot, with a look of disappointment on his face.
Mui summoned all the ninjas, came to a huge building, and threw criminals one after another inside.
On the other side of the huge portal, there seemed to be an all-devouring monster, devouring living people one after another.
The wails of the criminals paved the way for Mui's ambition.
"Sir Mui, we have invested 90% of the criminals, but we still can't open this thing." A ninja knelt on the ground tremblingly.
Mui looked at him with cold eyes.
The ninja shivered violently, and the ninjas around him also looked strange.
Mui really plans to throw these ninjas in, and he even plans to throw his own son into Box of Bliss.
But he ultimately did not do so.
"Box of Bliss is our only chance to get out of the weak predicament. Otherwise, with our own strength, it will be impossible to gain a foothold in Shinobi World! In this case, let's give up for the time being. I have found other methods, although it is very risky..."
Mui snorted coldly and immediately gave the order to issue a bounty mission to Underground Bounty Station and asked Akatsuki to pick it up.
This made the other ninjas breathe a sigh of relief and immediately went to carry out their mission.
Soon, Underground Bounty Station, a man who has been traveling around various countries all year round and defrauded countless people into bankruptcy, also discovered this highly targeted reward.
"Hmph, the content of this bounty is very interesting. It requires us Akatsuki not to take the next step, but also names the person with the most Chakra to execute it? Isn't this just for Kisame? Got it, I will use Transformation Technique to become Kisame to claim the bounty."
Kakuzu Sitting proudly in a bounty house, facing the frightened and awed eyes around him, he pointed at the task catalog in front of him.
The fraudulent man Kakuzu has deceived countless people, has extraordinary strength, and is highly respected.
According to legend, he almost defeated First Hokage.
This man was sitting on his seat with a fierce gaze, suppressing the gathering place of the bustling Underground Bounty Station+ underground bar.
"If you really dare to do this, the leader will kill you, unless you think you can even fight with the leader." Next to him, Hiruko said with a sneer.
"Hmph, the leader or something may not be able to do it... and how would I know that Zero Burial is actually a puppet controlled by the leader himself?"
Kakuzu had a tough attitude, but his tone was clearly softened.
Inside Akatsuki, the atmosphere lately is actually very subtle.
Many extremely vicious villains joined this organization. On the one hand, they were subdued by Deva Path Pain through force. If they did not join, they would die. On the other hand, they also felt that they could benefit from this organization.
For example, Kakuzu joined this organization because of its financial power.
Anyway, he doesn't want to achieve permanent peace like others. He has no interest in such lofty goals.
Similarly, Hiruko, as his partner whom he tried to kill countless times but failed to do so, didn't believe it at all.
He only joined to get a better Kekkei Genkai.
These two people can be said to be the most dangerous combination in Akatsuki. They only run for profit and have absolutely no great and upright beliefs to support them.
"Jiao, Mr. Kakuzu, Mr. Hiruko, our bounty house is just a small bounty house, we don't have much liquidity... And look at this mission..." The manager of the bounty house nodded and bowed, with a humble look on his face.
"Oh? But I see that the scale of your bounty house is not small at all. There are so many people drinking, so the daily turnover must be very generous." Kakuzu stared.
"Sir Kakuzu, please forgive me. We actually can't make any money. Please accept this. It's not respectful to be petty."
"Are you insulting me? Why should I accept your bribe when I can obviously defraud you of money? Or are you doubting my deception?"
"No, how dare I..."
No one knows how fucked up the bounty manager's heart is.
trick? Shinobi World's major bounty offices have long heard of Kakuzu's bad reputation, and have developed many ninjutsu to prevent fraud and improve detection capabilities.
But many times, some bounty houses hold their noses and pretend to be deceived in order to calm down the trouble and give Kakuzu a sum of money, which they think is a loss of money and avoidance of disaster.
But Kakuzu has no self-awareness at all and firmly believes that he is a master of deception and invincible.
Cheating money is more efficient than working part-time to make money.
"No way, no way, Kakuzu, do you really think you are smart?" Hiruko said sarcastically.
"Go away, sooner or later I will find a chance to kill you. Swift Release can only guarantee that you are fast, but cannot guarantee that you will not die." Kakuzu snorted coldly.
Hiruko nodded. "Yes, so I am already looking for the next target to devour."
Beads of sweat appeared on the forehead of the bounty manager. The two murderous men in front of him were very famous in the underground world. One had lived from the era of First Hokage to today, and the other threatened to eat the Bloodline Limit ninja alive.
"Anyway, let's report it to the leader first and let him make a decision. If nothing happens, he will agree."
The two got up and left here.
Using the ring on his hand, Chakra's projection appeared in the huge hole of Amegakure, and he reported the news to Nagato.
"Do you need a huge Chakra individual? Interesting, then leave this matter to them. No matter what the employer's purpose is, it is impossible to hurt the two of them anyway."
Nagato's entire body was in shadow, making it difficult to see his body shape, and he spoke in a cold voice.
"White Zetsu, you send another clone to Land of Grass for surveillance in advance. I want to know the detailed process."
Nagato gives orders to White Zetsu that grows on him.
After controlling Black Zetsu and White Zetsu, Nagato found that not only did he become stronger, but he also became much more convenient in many things.
