At this moment, Hidan and Kakuzu were walking through a forest when Hidan suddenly complained to Kakuzu,
"Hey! It's all your fault! You insisted on going to find that monk, and now look what's happened! The leader wants us to go to Konoha to gather intelligence!"
Kakuzu glance at Hidan, and said calmly,
"The monk you're talking about is worth thirty million taels of silver. Even if you sold yourself, you couldn't raise that much!"
"Tch! What's the use of money? My heart belongs only to Lord Jashin!"
Kakuzu clenched his fists, ignored Hidan, and continued to press forward.
A bunch of clueless bums who don't know the value of money when they're not in charge. Without money, everything is pointless. Don't they even understand this basic principle?
As they drew closer to Konoha, they decided to carry out Nagato's mission first, and retrieve Chiriku's head later.
Inside the Hokage Building,
Senga, who was lying on the chair pretending to be asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, startling Yugao, who had been watching him for a while.
Senga smiled at Yugao and teased her.
"How can the Hokage's personal bodyguard be so easily startled?"
Yugao blushed and said softly,
"I'm so sorry, Hokage-sama, I was just lost in thought."
"Okay, just kidding. You've been watching for a while, I have some things to take care of."
Senga stretched, slowly got up from her chair, and disappeared from the office in a flash.
Outside the Konoha,
Hidan and Kakuzu are plotting how to infiltrate Konoha. It has to be said that Nagato's judgment was really poor, choosing such a pair of brilliant strategists to gather intelligence.
Kakuzu was stroking his chin, pondering how to obtain the information they wanted, while Hidan, carrying his scythe, arrogantly spoke...
"What are we dawdling here for? Let me go capture a couple of Konoha Ninja and ask them, then we'll know."
Kakuzu looked at Hidan with an expression as if he were an idiot.
"You underestimate Konoha too much. Once they find us, we'll have a hard time escaping!"
"With the Lord Jashin protecting me, what do I have to fear? You, on the other hand, just hope you don't use up all your heart!"
Veins bulged on his temples; he really wanted to tear Hidan to pieces and throw him in the trash!
Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind the two of them.
"Now that you two are here, why don't you go inside and have a look around?"
"Who goes there!?"
Hidan and Hidan turned around almost simultaneously and saw Senga smiling at them.
Hidan raised an eyebrow, tilted his head back, and asked,
Who are you?
Angle's expression darkened. He looked at Senga's long, snow-white hair and said,
"He is the Sixth Hokage of Konoha, Uchiha Senga!"
"Huh? The Hokage? We've run into the Hokage? Hey, hey, hey! Kakuzu, the Hokage's head must be worth a lot of money, you're going to strike it rich!"
Kakuzu's face showed no sign of joy. He had already obtained some information about Senga from Nagato, and what impressed him most was that Senga had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan!
He lived through the era of the First Hokage and even briefly "First Hokage" with him. Although it was rumored that he only threw a Shuriken from 800 miles away, he still had a good grasp of the First Hokage's strength.
In his heart, the First Hokage truly deserved his title as the God of Shinobi; his strength was simply despair-inducing. The only one who could stand on the same level as him was Uchiha Madara.
Uchiha Madara possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan, so he would never underestimate anyone with Mangekyō Sharingan.
Seeing that Kakuzu Senga him, Chiga spoke up.
"You must be Kakuzu. I've heard you're quite good at managing money; you're a real talent."
Kakuzu wasn't sure if Senga was being sincere, but Hidan laughed heartily from the side.
"Hahaha! You're absolutely right. When it comes to money, no one knows better than Kakuzu!"
Senga Hidan continued,
"As for you... an idiot?"
"What!?"
Hidan's smile Hidan, then a raging fire ignited within him, and he drew his scythe and charged towards Senga.
"You bastard! How dare you insult me?!"
Kakuzu saw Hidan rush over and cursed him under his breath as an idiot.
He himself had no intention of making a move; he wanted Hidan to test Senga's strength first, since Hidan was immortal anyway.
Hidan had already rushed in front of Senga, and swung his scythe fiercely, intending to cut Senga in half.
However, when dealing with Hidan, Senga didn't even need to activate her Mangekyo; she simply swept out a leg, colliding with Hidan's scythe.
With a cracking sound, Hidan's scythe shattered into pieces before his dazed eyes. Before he could recover, Senga punched him in the face, sending him flying.
Hidan crashed through countless trees before finally coming to a stop. Although he was immortal, he could still feel pain. He struggled to his feet, cursing under his breath.
"Ouch! It hurts so much! Damn it! This is killing me!"
Hearing Hidan still calling himself "this great one" over and over, Senga raised an eyebrow, stretched out his hand and released a suction force towards Hidan, pulling him back from a distance.
Senga hasn't activated the Rinnegan yet, so he's only using the power of the Gravity-Gravity Fruit.
But to Kakuzu, Kakuzu, this move was exactly the same as the leader's, and he couldn't help but feel a little more wary when he looked at Senga.
Hidan was grabbed by the neck by Senga, but he still wouldn't behave and started struggling desperately, even trying to bite Senga with his teeth.
Aside from breaking a few of his teeth, Senga's hands remained as white as jade, without even a single tooth mark.
Hidan was truly out of options now, and he yelled,
"Kakuzu! Stop staring! This guy's body is weird, I can't break through his defenses!"
Upon hearing Kakuzu, Kakuzu's lips twitched involuntarily. He thought to himself, "Is there anyone in this world with a body more bizarre than yours?"
But he also knew he couldn't stand idly by any longer. Although Hidan was immortal, if he were torn to pieces and no one helped him repair himself, he would still lose his ability to fight.
He originally intended to have Hidan test Senga's strength, but the result showed that Senga's strength was no weaker than he had imagined.
Kakuzu dared not be careless. The black line on his wrist detached automatically, and then the black line connected to his fist as he attacked Senga.
Senga reached out and grabbed his fist, Kakuzu's expression to change.
"How is that possible!?"
Keep in mind that he had used Earth Release: Earth Spear to harden his body beforehand; that punch just now had enough destructive power to easily destroy a small house. How could it have been taken so easily?
Senga smiled slightly, and suddenly a dazzling purple electric light burst forth from his hand. Dense currents extended along the black lines to Kakuzu's body. After a series of crackling electric sounds, Kakuzu, whose body was charred black, collapsed to the ground with a thud.
