After getting Kakuzu's humiliating consent, Shaoyu did not set off immediately.
He put Kakuzu down again, and the soft and powerful light green healing light returned to his right hand.
This time, treatment is no longer just about stabilizing life.
Shaoyu mobilized more pure chakra, and used the combination of Reverse Cursed Technique and Medical Ninjutsu to the extreme that it can currently control.
Light is like a fountain of life, pouring into Kakuzu's broken body.
Kakuzu's remaining left eye suddenly opened wide, and he could clearly feel that it was not just the injection of life force.
At the edge of the horrific wound, the necrotic tissue was quickly peeled off and purified, and the remaining muscles, blood vessels, and even bones were growing and healing at an unnatural speed.
The missing half of the body was regenerated out of thin air, the wounds on the remaining body were repaired to a great extent, the bleeding was completely stopped, the damage to the internal organs was healed, and the remaining heart beat more powerfully.
The sluggish Earth Grudge Fear tentacles also regained their vitality.
"What an amazing Medical Ninjutsu..."
Kakuzu was even more afraid of the young Uchiha in front of him.
"Okay, I won't die for the time being."
Shaoyu Stop.
"Follow up, don't waste time."
Kakuzu struggled, and with the help of his numb arms and Earth Grudge Fear's tentacles, he stood up awkwardly.
Although the image is miserable, at least it is no longer a burden that needs to be dragged along.
He silently followed Shaoyu, thinking more about Kumogakure and his future plans.
The two of them were silent all the way, and Shaoyu deliberately slowed down to adapt to Kakuzu's state.
A few days later, the familiar outline of Kumogakure finally appeared in front of me.
Shaoyu didn't delay and brought Kakuzu directly to Raikage's Office.
"Shaoyu! You are back!"
Third Raikage A's voice was like a bell. When he saw Shaoyu, he immediately smiled. Then his eyes fell on the cloaked figure behind Shaoyu with a cold and strange aura, and he raised his thick eyebrows.
"Who is this?"
"Kakuzu. Formerly Takigakure, a traitor and bounty hunter."
Shaoyu's introduction is concise and comprehensive.
"I 'invite' the talents back."
Kakuzu bowed slightly and said hoarsely.
"I am Kakuzu."
"Kakuzu?"
Third Raikage has obviously heard of this name, and a trace of surprise and scrutiny flashed in his eyes.
"The legendary immortal ninja? Shaoyu, did you... invite him back?"
He looked at Kakuzu's obviously depressed aura, and then thought of Shaoyu's words, and roughly guessed the process.
"The past is not important."
Shaoyu waved his hand and got to the point directly.
"Lord Raikage, Kakuzu is not only good at strength, but more importantly, he has lived for a long time and has unparalleled experience and sense of the flow of money, the value of materials, and even the operation of the underground economy."
"The most important thing is - he loves money very, very, very much and is good at managing and increasing wealth."
Shaoyu specifically emphasized three very points and then gave his suggestions.
"I think he can be responsible for managing our Kumogakure's finances. Let him sort out the capital flow of the village, optimize resource allocation, and open up new financial resources."
Let a notorious, money-hungry rebel take charge of money?
If anyone else had said this, Third Raikage would have punched him out.
But it was Uchiha Shaoyu who said this, his already appointed successor with impeccable abilities and prestige.
Moreover, Shaoyu's intelligence level is definitely higher than him. Third Raikage is still self-aware about this. Most of what Shaoyu said is correct.
Third Raikage touched his chin, his copper bell-like eyes scanning Kakuzu's body.
When Kakuzu heard Shaoyu's suggestion, his eyes instantly lit up.
What Shaoyu said was just what he wanted.
Manage money?!
In charge of the financial power of one of Five Great Shinobi Villages?!
This... this is simply taking his lifelong hobbies and expertise to the extreme.
Although it will definitely be subject to supervision and restrictions, this is undoubtedly a more stable, larger, and more legal stage than hiding around and licking blood to earn bounties before.
Moreover, if you can control Kumogakure's money bag, then in the future...
Kakuzu's heart instantly became hot, and his fear of Shaoyu and his unwillingness to be forced to serve dissipated a lot, and he even had the illusion of being acquainted with someone.
Although the Uchiha kid in front of him beat him up, but now it seems that this kid is definitely a good person.
So kind and righteous!
After temporarily calming down, he quickly took a step forward, trying to make his voice sound more sincere.
"Lord Raikage, Shaoyu is absolutely right what you said! I... no, I have accumulated a lot of experience in managing funds, identifying values, and developing financial paths over the years."
"If we can gain the trust of Lord Raikage and Shaoyu, we will do our best to take care of every penny for the prosperity of Kumogakure."
His tone was subconsciously raised.
Third Raikage looked at Kakuzu's single eye that was shining with unabashed enthusiasm for money, and then looked at Shaoyu next to him who looked calm and obviously confident, and quickly weighed in his mind.
He trusted Shaoyu's vision and control. Since Shaoyu dared to bring this dangerous man back and asked him to take charge of the finances, there must be means of restriction and control.
Moreover, Kumogakure is now in a period of expansion and change, and indeed needs smarter and bolder financial management to support various plans.
Kakuzu, an old monster who only cares about money and is capable, may be a real weapon if used properly.
More importantly, Shaoyu is already confirmed as Fourth Raikage, and his proposal is, in a sense, the will of Raikage in the future.
Third Raikage slammed the table, making a loud "bang" sound, and laughed.
"Okay! Since Shaoyu you said so, it's settled! Kakuzu, from today on, you will be my financial advisor, Kumogakure, assisting in the financial management and planning of the village!"
"The specific duties and authority will be determined in detail by Shaoyu and you later. Remember, work hard, Kumogakure will not treat the meritorious ministers badly! But if you dare to have a wrong idea..."
Lightning flashed in Raikage's eyes, and a terrifying pressure instantly enveloped Kakuzu.
"I will tear you apart myself, and I won't leave you a penny!"
Kakuzu's body stiffened, but he immediately bowed.
"Don't dare! I will try my best to live up to the trust of Lord Raikage and Shaoyu!"
But my heart is filled with ecstasy, managing money! I can really manage money! As for the threats...
In the face of money and survival, he has his own sense of proportion.
However, Third Raikage still had a great intimidating effect on him. The dark-skinned man in front of him was not as restrained in strength as Shaoyu. With his domineering muscles and his thunderous stance, just by looking at his stance, you knew that the man in front of you was terrifyingly strong.
