Kakuzu: Why These Two?!
Capital of the Land of Fire.
Suburbs.
Kakuzu was sitting in the ancient pavilion, wearing black clothes, holding an ancient book and reading quietly.
He is waiting for those who do not know whether to live or die.
As a senior bounty hunter, Kakuzu is able to survive to this day, except for the tenacious vitality and strength brought by Earth Grudge Fear--
He also attaches great importance to his own protection.
As long as the person who covets his Earth Grudge Fear is not a ninja of Five Great Hidden Villages, he will definitely take action to eradicate--
Now, there is Nobles who dares to target him?
It's not that Kakuzu has never thought about it, this may be Konoha's action against him, to give him Setting the Stage.
After all, Earth Grudge Fear's technique is also attractive to Great Hidden Village.
But after Kakuzu bought the information at a huge price from Bounty Office.
It is inferred that the Konoha masters have been doing tasks recently. Even if there are one or two free, Kakuzu is confident that he can defeat or escape--
"Whether it is Land of Fire or Konoha, after all, it is not the time for Mr. Hashirama to be here--"
"That incense love has been paid off for almost forty years now." Kakuzu closed the leaf of the ancient book and muttered to himself.
Kakuzu, whose life was generously spared by Senju Hashirama, has basically avoided Konoha over the years and has not accepted any hostile tasks.
Anyway, Shinobi World is so big, where can we do business?
But Kakuzu is also a realistic person.
Being kind does not mean unconditional tolerance--
If Earth Grudge Fear, where he lives and works, is targeted, he will kill without mercy.
In other words, if a strong man takes him under his command and orders him to fight Konoha--
Kakuzu also has no psychological barriers.
Hashirama's kindness once allowed Kakuzu to make some concessions, but survival is the first priority for him.
"Are you here?" Kakuzu's eyes narrowed.
In the distance, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō came slowly Earth Flow wearing black robes, red cloud clothes and bamboo hats.
"Oh, this appearance--"
"Either some strange rebel ninja organization, or Nobles pretending to be a ninja's house wine--"
Kakuzu is sitting on the stone bench with a relaxed posture.
Today's Shinobi World, the so-called rebel ninjas and Nobles's private soldiers are just stragglers--
The possibility of a threat to him is almost zero.
I was very leisurely waiting for Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō to approach.
Kakuzu smiled coldly, "Are you the ones asking about Earth Grudge Fear?"
"That's right, it's us." Hiruzen Sarutobi behind the hat smiled slightly, "What's the price?"
"It would be too insincere and polite to not even show your true face to others."
Kakuzu said in a lecturing tone, "Although money is eternal, it is not omnipotent--"
"Your experience is too shallow and you have provoked people you shouldn't have provoked."
"Lift your hats, this is your last breath of fresh air-"
Kakuzu's eyes gradually became filled with murderous intent.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō lifted their hats and revealed their true faces.
"Danzo, the bamboo hat you bought is really useful. The bead curtain is so dense that you didn't recognize us even when we were so close--"
"Huh, I told you, there won't be any problems with my work."
At this moment, the killing intent in Kakuzu's eyes was instantly replaced by confusion and shock.
No--
Isn't this Daimyo Dingding's Darkness of the Shinobi Shimura Danzō?
The one next to him, Kakuzu, was stunned for a moment, and then he realized it was Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Did he remember correctly? Isn't this Third Hokage from Konoha!
Even experienced people like Kakuzu were confused by this scene.
Whose assistants Hokage and Hokage would wear clothes of this taste and come to meet a rebellious ninja Small Hidden Village!
Are you too busy at work on weekdays?
Are your Konoha executives sick?
Kakuzu After countless calculations, he even thought that Konoha might be the trader behind it, and also specially obtained the information about the recent orders received by major experts--
But he subconsciously ignored the possibility of Hokage and Hokage assisting.
After all, although he has some reputation in Shinobi World, it is not that great!
"What did you mean by what you just said?"
Shimura Danzō stared at Kakuzu and said coldly, "Do you want to take action? I heard that you have gold medal credit in the underground Bounty Office, but it seems like that-"
"You heard someone said that someone wanted to buy your hand or foot, would you still have a good talk with him?"
Kakuzu came back to his senses and immediately choked back. "Darkness of the Shinobi World, this was your idea, right? The things you did have ruined a lot of First Hokage's reputation!"
"Insidious enough and cruel enough, I admit defeat today - but don't even think about getting Earth Grudge Fear!"
Kakuzu gathered Chakra with one hand Hand Seals and quickly scanned the surroundings.
With Shimura Danzō's style of not talking about martial ethics, he always calls for a group of people to stand shoulder to shoulder and carries out organized violence against the lone enemy--
"No one?" Kakuzu was a little confused, but still didn't dare to relax at all.
If only Shimura Danzō and his Root come, Kakuzu is confident of getting away.
But the smiling Hiruzen Sarutobi beside him made him extremely vigilant.
Compared with the image in his memory, this Third Hokage of Konoha seems to be much younger--
And appearance is only part of it.
What makes Kakuzu really feel the pressure is his intuition accumulated from decades of combat experience.
If he really takes action, he will die!
Besides, Hiruzen Sarutobi has a reputation as a good old guy compared to Shinobi World"--
But no one doubted that he did not have the fighting ability as Hokage.
Professor of Ninjutsu"'s reputation is not blown out, but built out!
A gentle breeze blew through the leaves in the forest not far away, and the branches rustled.
The beaded curtains hanging from the bamboo hat collided gently, making a crisp sound like the wind chimes hanging under the eaves.
But such a quiet and peaceful scene made the tense atmosphere at the scene even more tense.
Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed not to notice, and said leisurely, "Earth Grudge Fear, if you cut it in an appropriate amount, will it cause irreversible damage?"
"That's not possible--" Kakuzu was stunned, but still answered Hiruzen Sarutobi's question.
"That's good, we can talk."
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded. "It's Earth Release·Earth Spear, right? I also like this technique very much--"
On him, the lightning suddenly exploded and entered Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
But the next moment, it disappeared.
Kakuzu's heart sank, and he just secretly entered the Hardening mode of Earth Release·Earth Spear--
But he thought he was hidden enough, but Hiruzen Sarutobi saw it out, and hinted at his weakness with Lightning Release.
"It is Third Hokage who is worthy of being called Professor of Ninjutsu". I have admired Daimyo for a long time--"
Kakuzu spoke hoarsely, "Lightning Style Nintaijutsu who actually knows Kumogakure--"
"I accept this love. It is indeed the shadow of Konoha, and it is different from the people under my command."
If Hiruzen Sarutobi just broke out.
Even though I have Earth Grudge Fear by my side, I won't die.
But at least one heart will be lost, not to mention there is a Shimura Danzō beside you--
"If you appreciate it, just sit down and chat--"
Kakuzu sat down as instructed, with a trace of confusion in his heart.
What does it mean?
Is it possible that this Konoha ninja really wants to buy his Earth Grudge Fear?
Or in this situation where we already have a huge advantage? We didn't even think about killing people for the first time--
Kakuzu looked at Shimura Danzō unconsciously.
This is inconsistent with the previous style of painting--
Shimura Danzō had a dark face and was very annoyed.
He realized the importance of reputation--
It was obviously Hiruzen who came up with this bad idea, so why did Kakuzu subconsciously think it was related to him?
Why else would he want to damage First's reputation?
He did it for Konoha!
