The Ōtsutsuki Strike! Kakuzu: Where's My Money?!

When it comes to making big money, Kakuzu has absolutely no resistance.

Even though these two attacked members of their Akatsuki Organization, the problem was... "I'm not familiar with Uchiha Itachi and the others. I joined Akatsuki Organization for money!"

With this clear idea in mind, Kakuzu remained wary of the two, but didn't make any major moves.

He pondered for a moment before cautiously asking the question.

"You know me? And you talk about making big money, what kind of money are you talking about?"

"How could we not know such a famous bounty hunter?"

Hyuga Makoto chuckled softly and spoke slowly.

"We don't need to introduce ourselves, do we? As for the big money we're aiming to make, that's naturally Uchiha Obito."

"Indeed, no introduction is needed..."

Indra and Asura, one possesses Wood Release like the First Hokage, and the other possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan.

How could Kakuzu possibly forget such a person?

He had been investigating through the Black Market, but hadn't gotten any results yet. He never expected to run into them today!

And the target is actually Uchiha Obito?

"Why did you two fall for him?"

Kakuzu remained extremely vigilant, while also harboring some curiosity.

"An organization like yours would actually act for money?"

"How can a large organization operate without money?"

Hyuga Makoto smiled nonchalantly and spoke calmly.

"It's just a pity that we don't have anyone here who's making money as well as you right now."

Shisui couldn't help but glance at Hyuga Makoto the corner of his eye; he felt that he seemed to have tried quite hard.

How come the situation changes so much in this guy's words?

That's true, but...

Kakuzu secretly agreed with what he said, after all, he was indeed a person who worked hard to make money.

Or rather, all he cares about is money!

But Kakuzu didn't dare to relax at all, and he spoke in a deep voice.

"But don't forget you've attacked us more than once, and this Uchiha Obito is wanted by two major ninja villages. Do you have any information about him?"

"?"

This time, it was Hyuga Makoto be stunned.

Wasn't Uchiha Obito a member of your Akatsuki Organization?

Moreover, he has saved Orochimaru, Uchiha Itachi, and others several times!

"You don't know him?"

How do I know him?

Kakuzu was also completely bewildered; he truly knew nothing about Uchiha Obito's situation.

After all, he had never participated in Orochimaru's operations, so naturally he had never encountered him.

Furthermore, Uchiha Obito never appeared at any of the Akatsuki Organization's meetings.

Besides, he's the kind of person who dislikes teammates who hold him back and slow down his earning speed, so why would he care about who else has joined the organization?

"However, he really wanted to turn the cold-blooded Uchiha Obito into warm banknotes," so he continued to ask.

"Since you want to join forces with me, you'd better show some sincerity."

Hyuga Makoto was helpless. His original plan was to have Kakuzu betray Obito so that Obito could experience the taste of betrayal again.

After all, he really enjoys kicking a man when he's down and chasing after unlucky guys to kill them!

But he really hadn't expected that Kakuzu completely unaware of this, which left him somewhat helpless.

but..

He didn't think this was a bad thing!

He wanted to see the limits of his body, and at the same time...

"My physical body has been constantly improving, but I haven't had the chance to unleash its full power yet?"

He had been planning to find a time to significantly activate the power of the Lunar Tenseigan in order to gain new insights.

Although the situation has changed now, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing for him?

With that thought in mind, Hyuga Makoto finally made his decision: this time, he was going to go big!

"The intelligence is there, but I don't think you're the leader, are you?"

Hyuga Makoto calmly looked at Kakuzu and spoke softly.

"Uchiha Obito being hunted by two major ninja villages, and dealing with him won't be easy. I think you should report this to them, right?"

That's true...

Kakuzu raised an eyebrow, but ultimately nodded.

"This matter does need to be reported, and how the money is divided is not up to me."

"That's settled then. Go back and report and discuss it. We'll wait for you here."

Hyuga Makoto nodded calmly; he had already begun to consider the specific details of the operation.

"Meet me in the Forest behind the mountain at midnight tonight."

"Can."

Kakuzu's eyes flickered slightly; he felt a sense of relief, but his interest also grew stronger.

Having been a living fossil who had weathered many storms in the Shinobi World, he could naturally sense whether the two people in front of him intended to make a move.

Moreover, since both of them were curious about Uchiha Obito, it was impossible for him not to be interested!

Of course, what interests him most is money; he doesn't really consider anything else.

"Then I'll take my leave now. See you tonight."

Thinking of this, Kakuzu didn't linger any longer and turned to leave, but at this Hyuga Makoto spoke up.

"Actually, I have another question I'm curious about, and I wonder if you could answer it for me?"

"?"

Kakuzu didn't say a word; his beady eyes looked over in confusion, while Hyuga Makoto spoke softly.

"According to our information, you've had quite a workload over the years; the money must have added up to a considerable sum, right?"

"What's the meaning?"

"So, how much of that money did you hand over?"

"If a normal organization had that much money, it would have become wealthy long ago, but you guys seem to have very few people?"

66

"I always get the feeling that your organization embezzled the money, leaving you to work for free, and you're actually quite happy about it?"

"Well, it didn't mean anything by it, I was just curious."

Hyuga Makoto's face beneath the mask was full of smiles. He was somewhat disappointed that his Clone didn't have the Byakugan and couldn't see Kakuzu's expression at that moment.

"Remember the time, see you then."

He found it all amusing, waved casually, and turned to leave with Shisui.

Kakuzu was left standing there, stunned, his little green eyes blinking incessantly.

"Makoto, what are you trying to do?"

After they had walked some distance away and made sure no one was around, Shisui couldn't help but ask.

"By doing this, you might draw them all out."

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm planning."

When asked about Shisui's actions, Hyuga Makoto simply smiled nonchalantly.

"I know what you're worried about. It's simply whether the two of us can handle them. You can rest assured about that."

"This...

Shisui frowned; he seemed to have realized something.

"You intend to come here yourself and take action against them?"

"Pretty much. My body needs exercise, and I need enough skilled opponents, besides that..."

"," Hyuga Makoto looked up at the sky before slowly speaking.

"My physical body has also undergone a huge improvement, but I haven't had the chance to unleash its full potential. This might be a good opportunity!"

Is that so...?

Although Shisui still wanted to offer some advice, he ultimately remained silent.

After all, he trusted Hyuga Makoto unconditionally, and he believed that Hyuga Makoto wouldn't do anything without being sure of success!

However, his expression was somewhat strange now, and he couldn't help but ask as he touched his chin.

"Is that Akatsuki Organization really even more greedy than you?"

"?"

Hyuga Makoto was stunned for a moment, then he almost laughed in anger.

"Compared to them? How much does a single Explosive Tag cost?"

"Forehead?"

Shisui didn't understand why Hyuga Makoto asked this, but he quickly gave an answer.

"A single piece would cost several thousand taels, but it might be cheaper if purchased in bulk?"

"Then, what about one billion? Six hundred billion?"

"Hiss...

"If they had a large base, like the one in Yucunshan, that would require maintenance and management, how much would that cost?"

"How dare I compare myself to them!"

"

"How can you guys eat so much?"

The bright moon hangs in the sky outside a barbecue restaurant in Konoha.

Hyuga Makoto looked at his tent with a pained expression, and couldn't help but glare at the group of middle-aged men beside him.

Kakashi looked around, seemingly unconcerned. Meanwhile, Tenzo rubbed his stomach, and Jiraiya spoke up, Jiraiya unconcerned.

"It's rare for you, you stingy fellow, to treat me, how can I refuse?"

"You freeloader, can't you learn from Tenzo and not say a word?"

Hyuga Makoto couldn't hold back any longer. He turned sharply to look at Hinata, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sasuke —Neji the four brats.

"You guys, how come you eat so much too?"

"Hey, we're here to help you hang the fish, so what's wrong with eating a lot? Besides, we're not the ones eating the most!"

Naruto remained unconvinced as always, while Sasuke remained silent, though his gaze involuntarily drifted to Hinata beside him.

He was astonished; how could this seemingly shy and timid girl eat so much?

"Senior, would you like to include me?"

However, at this moment, Uchiha Izumi couldn't help but speak up.

"Consider it a small gift for everyone?"

Her words left everyone exchanging bewildered glances before Hyuga Makoto finally spoke, rubbing his temples.

"It seems you really do need to learn from me."

"Well?"

Uchiha Izumi was confused, but fortunately Jiraiya spoke up at that moment.

"Alright, alright, you two hurry up and take these little guys back, don't ruin my nightlife!"

"Indeed, it's late now, and these little guys need to rest."

Zhao Suma smiled and nodded, while Kakashi patted Hyuga Makoto the shoulder.

Thank you for your hospitality, we'll be leaving now.

"Good."

Hyuga Makoto stopped worrying about it and simply turned and left with Uchiha Izumi and his gang of kids.

Jiraiya and the others watched Hyuga Makoto and the others' retreating figures for a while before he finally couldn't help but laugh.

"It's really rare to get something out of this guy."

"He's not competitive at all, and he has absolutely no integrity when it comes to fishing."

Asuma pursed his lips, then turned to look at Kakashi and Tenzo.

"Honestly, Haiyi is an interesting guy. Why didn't you introduce yourselves earlier?"

"You're incredibly busy, Senior Suma."

Tenzo spoke with some helplessness, and Kakashi also sighed.

"Ever since this guy joined the Anbu, he's been so busy, he really has no time."

"This guy's been a bit unlucky. I've seen his resume; once he joins the Anbu, he's always in trouble."

Jiraiya gave Kakashi his approval, but he quickly laughed it off.

"But this little shirt factory is greedy, has a sharp tongue, and is otherwise very good."

Kakashi laughed, and Tenzo nodded slightly. Hyuga Makoto and the others were the first to be contacted.

Afterwards, due to mission issues, Tenzo didn't follow along all the time, but he had been observing Hyuga Makoto's changes.

"I really hope Yu can have a match with him!"

Zhao Kai seemed to be getting interested, which made Zhao Sima raise an eyebrow.

"You really are something, haven't changed a bit after all these years."

"Seriously, you're probably no match for him."

Kakashi glanced at Kai and smiled, which puzzled Kai.

"Makoto, is he really that strong?"

"Hai Xiaoshan's potential is immeasurable."

Jiraiya recalled everything that Kirigakure. He patted Kai on the shoulder, but soon he grinned mischievously.

"But no matter how strong he is, he's got some headaches now."

"Ah?"

Kai was puzzled, but just as Jiraiya had said, Hyuga Makoto was indeed having a headache.

After leading Uchiha Izumi and the group of kids quite a distance, he couldn't help but look at Uchiha Izumi.

"Don't say things like that again."

97

Did I say I argued with them?

Uchiha Izumi was a little confused about the situation, Hyuga Makoto could only patiently speak up.

"What you said wasn't controversial, but you can't say it like that, and it wasn't the right time to say it."

"Senior, you mean..."

1

"I know you mean well, and I also know the current situation of the Uchiha. You want to reintegrate into Konoha as soon as possible, but some things aren't so urgent."

"I.

Uchiha Izumi was somewhat speechless. This was indeed her idea, and it was also the main line of thought for the Uchiha at present.

The incident involving Uchiha Itachi was appalling; this guy actually wanted to destroy his entire clan?

However, what they didn't expect was that the one who saved them was Konoha, the village they had always been oppressed by within their clan?

In reality, they didn't have many opportunities to offer opinions, since they were all just ordinary people, the most powerful being low-level ninjas.

They couldn't influence the tribe's thinking; they could only follow along.

Even now that this has happened, Konoha is still helping them stabilize and recover.

They certainly couldn't remain unmoved; they might even appear a little too eager, besides...

"But I can't blame you. The Uchiha people are known for their pride, and we Hyuga are pretty much the same."

Looking at Uchiha Izumi, who was still talking, Hyuga Makoto smiled and shrugged.

"But we're better off than you in that we understand social dynamics. Even though we're considered 'Byakugan ' by the villagers, at least not everyone hates us."

Uchiha Izumi awkwardly remarked, "The Uchiha during their time in the Police Department were truly universally disliked."

"So, don't rush things. This time, I'm introducing you to them."

Hyuga Makoto smiled and spoke softly.

"Once you've fully adapted, you'll be spending a lot more money next time. After all, we're supposed to be friends, not as arrogant as we are now."

"Arrogant, huh...?"

Uchiha Izumi seemed lost in thought, but Hyuga Makoto waved his hand.

"Alright, that's all for tonight. It's getting late, you should take Sasuke home now."

"Yes, Senior Cheng."

Uchiha Izumi nodded seriously, realizing she might really need to think about a lot of things.

"I'll take my leave now."

After saying this, she pulled Sasuke aside, bowed slightly, and then turned to leave.

Naruto watched them leave, and after a long pause, he finally asked in a low voice.

What are you guys talking about?

"Speaking nonsense you don't understand, you idiot."

Hyuga Makoto ruffled Naruto's Blondie before looking up at the sky.

"It's getting late, Qi, take you back, you idiot, Ranfang..."

However, Fang could then cut the large size, making Otsutsuki forget to attack!

In the Forest of the Land of Hot Water, Kakuzu looked at the distorted space and the person who walked out of it with a puzzled expression.

"When did this technique come about? And Chief, you haven't answered my question yet, have you?"

Pain and the others silently walked out of the space, looking at Kakuzu before them, unsure of what to say.

Kakuzu suddenly called a meeting today and asked him a question that embarrassed him.

"How much money did I earn? Where did all that money go? Are there any detailed accounts?"

How should he answer this question?

Fortunately, the issue of the "Nucleus Organization" suppressed the problem; who knew this guy would actually come back to ask about it?

Before he could even speak, he suddenly noticed that Kakuzu's green eyes were glowing and staring intently at one of them.

"Uchiha Obito! What's he doing here? Kill him! He's got a fortune!"
