Chapter 186: Four Breakthroughs in One Second-Kakuzu Is Stunned

Kakuzu sat on the ground, clearly in a good mood.

Hidan used to go on every day about making sacrifices to the Evil God, then waste ages on those ridiculous rituals.

With him gone, Kakuzu's earnings this month were up by more than twenty percent.

The only downside was that when he ran into a troublesome enemy, there was no one to risk his life gathering information for him.

"Looks like it's time to ask the leader for another partner."

Kakuzu looked up and saw a man and a woman in Akatsuki robes staring down at him.

"White Tiger?"

Recognizing her, Kakuzu got to his feet.

"Kakuzu, this is Akatsuki's new leader."

"Kakuzu, after all your years in the Black Market, you should know who I am."

Kakuzu frowned and studied the man more closely.

Then his pupils contracted sharply.

No wonder he looked familiar.

Kakuzu knew exactly who this man was.

As the only Ninja with a bounty of ten billion ryō, Naruto was someone Kakuzu dreamed of hauling to the Bounty Office as a corpse.

"Naruto Uzumaki of Konoha..."

Kakuzu's voice was grim.

"White Tiger, what's going on?"

"Where's Leader Pain?"

Kakuzu's tone turned cold.

"Pain is fine. He and I made this decision together."

"Akatsuki's objective has changed. Our goal now is..."

"Unification of the Shinobi World!"

Konan spoke quietly.

Kakuzu's jaw dropped.

He knew plenty about Naruto Uzumaki and was aware that Naruto already controlled the Land of Fire, the Land of Lightning, the Land of Iron, the Land of Grass,
