Kakuzu: Brat, you almost fooled me by dyeing your hair red

After Fu finished speaking, she shook her head.

"Never mind, anyway, there probably aren't enough for a hundred..."

This dark-skinned woman seems a bit silly...

Hanabi Hyuga thought to herself.

"Fu, have you noticed any strange people coming to see you lately?"

Kanami went straight to the Gate of Opening and asked.

He's got a lot on his plate right now and doesn't really want to waste time on small talk.

Fu placed her index finger on her chin and pondered for a moment.

"Some."

She nodded.

Kanami's gaze sharpened immediately. "Who is it? Is it someone wearing a black robe with red clouds?"

"Um..."

Fu pointed at Kanami: "It's you guys, hahaha."

Kanami immediately gave him a deadpan look.

In his mind, he had already cursed Fu with every swear word he could think of.

"Stop joking, I've come to see you because I have something very important to discuss."

"I know, otherwise you wouldn't have gone to all this way to find me."

Fu appears carefree and easygoing, but she is actually quite sensitive inside.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to arrive at the scene so quickly after something happened in Kanami.

"You know there's an organization that specializes in capturing Tailed Beast, right?"

Kanami asked.

Fu nodded. "I know a little."

As Tailed Beast Host, even if she didn't gather this information herself, the village Ninja would collect it and tell her.

After all, compared to the other five ninja villages, Takigakure, being a smaller ninja village, was more likely to become a target of the Akatsuki Organization.

However, they are naturally weaker than the other Five Great Shinobi Villages in terms of intelligence gathering.

"We are here now on orders from the Hokage's name to support your Takigakure. That organization has already begun its operations against the Tailed Beast."

"Does this mean I'll become a target?"

Fu asked.

Kanami nodded. "Yes, you are one of their targets."

"Haha, thank you all, but I'm very strong. How can I let my friends protect me? I should be protecting my friends."

Fu laughed and rolled up her sleeves, showing off muscles that didn't actually exist.

Hinata saw this and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

The other person's posture was somewhat similar to hers when she was putting on a brave front.

"Don't laugh, Hinata, I'm really strong."

"I know, thank you Fu, for remembering my name."

Hinata said politely.

"Oh, there's no need to thank me, we're friends."

Fu responded with a smile.

In Hinata's memory, she and Fu had no interaction whatsoever, not even during the Chunin exam, and this was actually their first meeting.

But the fact that the other person remembered her name, and had a very outgoing personality, naturally made her feel a bit favorable towards him.

At that moment, Hanabi Hyuga scratched her head.

She felt something was off.

Weren't we here on vacation? It seems like they're here to visit friends.

There's also some organization that wants to take action against the dark-skinned sister...

Hanabi's brow furrowed deeper the more she thought about it.

I have this feeling that I've been tricked or something.

"Let's go in..."

"Buzz!"

Before Fu could finish speaking, the Seven-Tails Chomei within her body suddenly emitted a buzzing sound that only she could hear!

At the same time, Two-Tails Matatabi leaped out from behind Kanami, his blue flames intensifying, his gaze fixed in one direction. "Kanami, someone's coming."

Kanami nodded slightly. "Understood."

"Hinata, take Hanabi and go for a walk around the village."

"But..."

Hinata hesitated for a moment, and unconsciously tightened her grip on Hanabi's hand.

Kanami met Hinata's gaze.

"I only entrusted this little brat to you because I trusted you."

Kanami wasn't lying about this. If he didn't trust Hinata's abilities, he would have preferred to use a Wood Clone to protect the two of them.

"..."

Hinata hesitated for a second, but still took Hanabi's hand and went to the Village Behind the Waterfall.

When they reached the waterfall, she turned to Kanami and said, "Be careful."

Kanami smiled and said, "Yes."

Soon, the sound of footsteps approached.

Then they saw two people, Hidan and Kakuzu from the Akatsuki Organization.

The two were stunned for a moment when they saw Fu and Kanami, but they immediately came to their senses when they saw the Two-Tails Matatabi next to Kanami's feet.

"Haha, this time we don't need to argue, one for each of us is just right."

Hidan, gripping his Blood-Red Scythe-Shaped Weapon, stared at Kanami and Fu.

Kakuzu glanced at Hidan and said, "Hmph, if you can't handle it, then leave it to me. Two of them are no problem for me."

Kanami:...

Although he knew this group was the so-called "Immortal Duo," always reckless and skilled at killing on sight when conducting intelligence gathering operations.

However, he possesses information about both of them.

But the opponent actually provoked their opponent directly.

"Fu, don't move, let me do it."

Kanami spoke calmly.

Kakuzu and Hidan are Immortal Duo, but their fighting strength is nowhere near that of Itachi Uchiha or Obito Uchiha.

It's basically just killing each other upon first meeting.

Kanami felt no pressure whatsoever when facing them.

"Oh ho, you actually want to take on both of us by yourself?"

Hidan chuckled dismissively.

However, at that moment, Kakuzu's brows furrowed more and more deeply.

The more he looked at Kanami, the more suspicious he found him.

Red hair... not very old...

Two-Tails Matatabi was also with them...

This...!

"What... what's your name?"

At this moment, Kakuzu's questions seemed somewhat hesitant.

They had just finished a meeting and learned that this guy, Akatsuki, had broken into their Akatsuki Organization, fought the leader, and even managed to escape!

Especially since Akane had brought forward the plan to collect the Tailed Beast, he felt a little alarmed when he thought about it carefully.

If it really were Akari himself, he wouldn't have enough hearts, let alone five!

Kanami raised an eyebrow as he looked at Kakuzu.

He hadn't expected that Kakuzu so afraid of him.

He said calmly, "My name is Kanami."

Kanami...?

Kakuzu was momentarily stunned.

This name...

He's never heard of it.

"So it wasn't that kid Chi after all. You little brat, dyeing your Redhead almost fooled me."

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Hidan reacted instantly.

He had just been wondering why Kakuzu's momentum had suddenly weakened so much.

Now he realized that Kakuzu had mistaken him for someone else.

"That's hilarious, Kakuzu! You're really afraid of dying! You still have the nerve to team up with me? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you in battle?"

He laughed loudly.

Kakuzu's face was ashen, his eyes glaring angrily at Kanami.

Fu's expression was strange.

Fu also knew that Kanami was Chi; she realized it when she witnessed him confronting the Yugito Nii.

Otherwise, how could Konoha possibly have two top-tier Wood Release Kage-level shinobi?

Kanami couldn't suppress the urge to smile.

He gave his name, but the other person didn't recognize him; they only recognized his code name.

This made him feel a little tense.

The code name "Red" wasn't something he deliberately promoted, but it unexpectedly became more popular than his real name.

"Stop dawdling. After I'm done with you guys, I still need to take my Sister-in-law to the Hot Spring Bathing."

As he spoke, the ground around Kanami began to tremble, and the sound of earth breaking apart rang out.
