This Is a Good Ninjutsu

Uchiha Shingen didn't make things difficult for them.

Although it sounds far-fetched, Hidden Leaf Village needs to maintain a certain size for its Bounty Exchange and the wandering ninjas who make a living there.

Leaf Village has the most missions posted at the Bounty Exchange every year.

Hidden Leaf Village has the largest number of ninjas, but there are many things that are inconvenient for Konoha Ninja to do.

After Namikaze Minato reorganized the ANBU, the Leaf Village ANBU, who were working hard to improve their intelligence-gathering capabilities, also realized the value of the Bounty Exchange platform. They collected a lot of useful information through this platform.

After the group had all left, Uchiha Shingen squatted down to examine his seal.

Although it was tried on in a haphazard way, the Sealing Jutsu technique was not structurally damaged and is still usable.

Uchiha Shingen's hands moved swiftly through various hand seals before he slammed his palm onto the ground.

The runes, like tadpoles, swam up the cliff, and the door reappeared.

Uchiha Shingen went inside.

The first thing that catches the eye is the rows of coffins that have been opened and are empty inside.

Uchiha Shingen walked to the nearest coffin, touched it, and the spell on it began to crumble.

Visually, it looks like ink being washed away with water, as if it is "dissolving".

But Uchiha Shingen had to do it one by one.

There's no other way but to erase these techniques, this is the only clumsy method available.

When about half of it had been wiped away, someone came in.

The image is very vivid.

"Someone beat me to it," the man said in a low voice, his eyes like sunglasses.

Uchiha Shingen glanced at him, then with a backhand, he dispelled another spell.

"Kakuzu, there's no money for you here. Go back."

"Leaf Village's ANBU?" The future financial director of Akatsuki wasn't angry; he simply asked.

Of course he's not angry; Leaf Village is one of his major financial backers.

Even if there's no business now, they're not really enemies to him.

Or rather, Kakuzu has no interest in anything other than money.

Seeing that the Konoha Ninja in front of him ignored him and continued to destroy the jutsu, Kakuzu thought that this was probably the so-called "legacy".

So he walked up to a coffin, raised his hand, and lifted the coffin lid.

"This should be able to be exchanged for money..." He hoisted the coffin lid onto his shoulder and prepared to leave.

A flame ignited in the darkness.

From a great distance, an arrow made of flame shot over and struck the coffin lid that Kakuzu had just lifted. The powerful force sent the lid flying from Kakuzu's hand, tumbling onto the floor beside him.

Chapter 43 This is a good Ninjutsu

The coffin lid slammed to the ground with a bang and cracked in the middle.

Kakuzu looked down, and the flames covered the spell, "wiping" it away.

"The Sharingan's Dōjutsu."

Kakuzu withdrew his gaze; he had seen this technique before.

In other words, the person in front of me is not a member of the Leaf Village ANBU, but a powerful member of the Uchiha Clan.

"I thought that no one in the Uchiha Clan knew how to use this technique anymore."

As one of the few ninjas in the current Ninja World who doesn't care about the Uchiha Clan name at all, Kakuzu the right to say such things.

He actually fought Senju Hashirama a real battle.

However, when Senju Hashirama started "seriously Teuchi the beat," he got beaten up.

There's no way around it; once Senju Hashirama starts using Wood Release, only Uchiha Madara can keep up with him.

But aside from those two, Kakuzu says no one can stop him from making money.

"Young Uchiha Clan, aren't you going to compromise?" Kakuzu asked seriously.

"What do you think?" Uchiha Shingen looked at him. "You're not going to tell me that seeing Konoha Ninja reminds you of being beaten up by Senju Hashirama back then, are you?"

"The past is too painful to recall, and should not be recalled... I might say such ridiculous things to a brat, but there's no need to do so against an opponent of equal caliber."

Kakuzu's skin began to swell, as if something was about to burst out.

In Uchiha Shingen's eyes, a massive amount of Chakra was erupting from Kakuzu's body.

The secret technique of Earth Grudge Fear can permanently change the physical form of the body. It requires a series of physical modification techniques and corresponding items, and it is extremely difficult to master.

Even the Sharingan cannot copy such Ninjutsu.

Kakuzu the last person to master this technique, and when he defected from the organization, he permanently destroyed any possibility of others learning this secret art.

Uchiha Shingen would not underestimate this opponent at all.

He had already activated his Sage Mode when he made his move.

A cold wave is rising.

The temperature in the underground space plummeted, and frost covered the coffins.

With Kakuzu's arrival, Uchiha Shingen had no choice but to Chakra and use the least cost-effective method to destroy all the techniques.

In Kakuzu's eyes, Uchiha Shingen made a move that he remembered vividly.

Then everything was submerged in white.

Rumble--!!!

Yamanaka Clan, a mountain began to tremble. Amidst a terrifying roar, a giant white hand, accompanied by countless rocks and soil, burst forth from the mountain's surface.

Kakuzu's body emerged from the ground, his expression grim.

His money is gone!

The opponent's Ice Release destroyed everything in an instant, and the enormous fist slammed directly into him. It was too fast and too powerful to stop.

However, such power cannot harm Kakuzu himself; his forte is earth-based transformations.

He was able to survive the attack from Wood Release because he relied on the Earth Release: Earth Spear Earth Release Nintaijutsu.

This Nintaijutsu can only be broken by sufficiently powerful Lightning Release.

He looked at the large hand reaching out from the mountainside.

The icy sculpture's large hand retracted, and the next moment, both hands pressed against the cave entrance, tearing it apart to the sides.

A fully formed ice giant burst forth from the mountain!

[It really looks like it...]

Kakuzu help but think this way.

However, it's only similar; they're completely incomparable.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he also released his Earth Grudge Fear Doppelganger.

His back bulged, his skin tore open, and four masked monsters burst out from it, their bodies made up of countless black lines.

However, these are not "threads," but rather the product of highly condensed Chakra.

[Actually, it's fine if I don't fight you, but... I just really don't like looking at you Leaf Village ninjas.]

Thinking this, Kakuzu watched as the ice giant began to turn and walk towards him.

With each step, it felt as if the earth was shaking.

"Is this technique an imitation of Senju Hashirama?" Kakuzu suddenly asked.

He knew the other person could hear him.

With such a high level of Sharingan, even if you can't hear, you can still "see".

A gash appeared on the ice giant's head, Uchiha Shingen stood there.

Uchiha Shingen was also looking at this "old friend".

The past is too painful to recall, but it's also better not to look back. That's a true saying.

For him right now, it couldn't be more perfect.

"Kakuzu," he called out, "Would you like to join Leaf Village?"

A cold smile appeared on Kakuzu's face.

Will you pay for this task?

"How much?" Uchiha Shingen curiously. If it wasn't too much, that would be fine.

Recruiting a Kage Level and getting reimbursed by the village isn't unreasonable, is it?

"Ten million taels." Kakuzu held out his hand. "I only accept cash."

Damn! That's too expensive!

Uchiha Shingen immediately abandoned his desire to "recruit" him.

Namikaze Minato isn't that stupid to spend ten million taels of silver to buy a Kage Level who might run away at any time.

Uchiha Fugaku would never pay that amount.

This money could only be paid by Uchiha Shingen himself.

Keep dreaming!

"So, it seems we can't reach an agreement," Uchiha Shingen sighed, seemingly with regret. "Even a ninja like you can be so greedy."

"Enough with the nonsense. I can smell your scent from a mile away. We're the same kind." Kakuzu retorted without any politeness. "The only thing you can trust in this world is money. If you want me to do something, just pay me. Don't say anything else."

You think you can get Kakuzu for Kakuzu? No way!

"So you're not going to tell me which bastard paid so much money for you to do this?"

I don't care about these things.

"Aren't you afraid someone will renege on their debt? You know that not everyone can come up with 10 million taels of silver, right?"

"No need for you to worry about it. I have some experience in collecting debts."

"Really? What a pity."

Uchiha Shingen took a step back, and the ice giant's head closed.

The enormous giant raised his hand and slapped down.

Boom!

The entire forest was blown away, and the ice giant's hand sank deeply into the earth.

Several black dots leaped up and quickly sprinted upwards along the ice giant's arm.

A master of Earth Release is a type of escape technique), that's really troublesome.

The several Earth Grudge Fear clones were very fast, and their humanoid bodies, constructed from Chakra, could perform any action.

Uchiha Shingen even thought they ran like huskies.

A husky jumped up, its mouth opening on the mask.

Uchiha Shingen didn't stop him; he wanted to see Kakuzu's Five Elements Release Technique.

Upon seeing Kakuzu, he made his decision.

Kakuzu is basically a simplified version of Sarutobi Hiruzen!

If you're going to be at full energy from the start, what's the point of even going to a prostitute?

A massive inferno erupted before Uchiha Shingen, the intense heat palpable even through the ice.

I see.

Fire Release: Searing Migraine, so that's how it works.
