During the three days of Land of Birds, Senju Chen had a leisurely time.
During the day, I wandered around the streets and finalized the decoration plan for the Food Is Heaven branch. At night, I stayed in the hotel and compiled all kinds of information collected from the black market and Orochimaru's informants.
To be honest, this place was more interesting than he imagined.
The black market is not just a trading place, but more like the information hub of the entire Shinobi World underground world. As long as you are willing to spend money, you can buy almost any information - the defense layout of a certain village, the movement trajectory of a certain ninja, and even the private life of a certain daimyo.
Of course, the price is also really expensive.
Senju Chen In the past three days, I spent nearly three million taels just on buying all kinds of information.
However, the rewards are real.
He now has detailed information about "Iron Arm" in his hand.
This so-called bounty hunter has an unknown real name, unknown age, and unknown origin. The only thing that can be determined is that he has recently been active in the Land of Fire border area, specializing in hunting down targets with bounties of more than one million taels.
The methods are cruel and never leave anyone alive.
And it is said that his right arm has been specially modified and is so powerful that he can crush rocks with his bare hands.
"Tsk, it sounds like a half-baked human modification experiment." Senju Chen sat by the window of the hotel, flipping through the information in his hand, with a playful smile on his lips.
This kind of stuff is not worth mentioning in his eyes.
But for Kakuzu...
The reward of twelve million taels was enough to tempt the miser.
Senju Chen closed the information scroll, stood up and walked to the window.
On the street outside the window, people were coming and going, and the cries of small vendors could be heard one after another.
"It's almost time to leave."
He turned around, packed his things, opened the door and left the hotel.
Land of Fire border.
This is a desolate hilly area with sparse vegetation, exposed rocks and dry river beds everywhere.
Occasionally, you can see a few dilapidated villages, but most of them have been abandoned, leaving only ruins.
A flash of lightning flashed, and Senju Chen stood on a high ground, overlooking the terrain below.
"According to intelligence, Iron Arm was last seen in an abandoned mine twenty kilometers to the southwest."
He took out a simple map from his ninja bag and compared it with the surrounding terrain.
"There used to be an iron mine there, but it was later abandoned due to the exhaustion of the ore veins. Now it has become a temporary base for some wandering ninjas and bounty hunters."
Senju Chen put away the map, flashed and galloped towards the target direction.
Abandoned mine.
This place is even more rundown than Senju Chen imagined.
There were collapsed wooden frames and rusty rails everywhere, and the air was filled with a mixture of musty and rusty smells.
A few wandering ninjas in rags were squatting at the entrance of the mine, roasting something around a campfire.
Senju Chen did not show up in a hurry, but first used his perception ability to scan the surrounding situation.
There are about twenty people in the mine, most of them are wandering ninjas with low strength.
But deep in the mine, there is a Chakra fluctuation that is particularly conspicuous.
"Found it."
Senju Chen A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he sneaked into the mine quietly in a flash.
In an abandoned mine deep in the mine.
A tall man was sitting on a rock, wiping the weapon in his hand.
It was a giant sword with a strange shape. The sword was covered with jagged barbs, and it looked like it was specially designed to tear flesh and blood.
The man's right arm is unusually thick, its surface is covered with a metallic sheen, and obvious mechanical structures can be seen at the joints.
This is Iron Arm.
"Tsk, this lousy place doesn't even have a decent target." Iron Arm spat, his tone full of impatience, "Those losers, each and every bounty is not worth as much as my weapons."
He stood up and moved his right arm.
The metal joint made a "clicking" sound, which sounded particularly harsh.
"Forget it, wait two more days. If there is still no valuable target, just change to another place..."
Before he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from the entrance of the mine.
"No need to wait."
Iron Arm turned around suddenly and instantly grasped the giant sword in his right hand.
"Who?!"
Senju Chen walked out of the shadows with a gentle smile on his face.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just here to find someone."
Iron Arm looked him up and down, a trace of vigilance flashing in his eyes.
"Looking for someone?" He sneered, "Will someone come specifically to look for someone in a ghost place like this?"
"That's not necessarily the case." Senju Chen shrugged, "For example, I came here specifically to see you."
Iron Arm's eyes instantly became dangerous.
"Looking for me?" He clenched the giant sword in his hand, "Who sent you?"
"No one sent me here." Senju Chen smiled, "I just want to confirm whether you are the bounty hunter named Iron Arm."
Iron Arm was silent for a moment, and then suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! It turned out to be a kid who came to steal business!" He raised his right arm, and the metal surface reflected the faint light in the mine. "Boy, do you know how many people want to kill me?"
"I don't know." Senju Chen's smile remained unchanged, "But I guess there will be one more soon."
Iron Arm's laughter stopped abruptly.
"You are looking for death!"
He suddenly drew out the giant sword from behind and struck at Senju Chen.
The sword blade sliced through the air, making a harsh sound.
But Senju Chen just dodged sideways and easily dodged the blow.
"Tsk, the speed is pretty good." Iron Arm narrowed his eyes, "But speed alone can't kill me."
He swung his sword again, this time the attack was more ferocious.
The giant sword seemed weightless in his hand, and every swing carried astonishing power.
But Senju Chen is still able to do it with ease.
He didn't even pull out the Thunder God Sword from behind, but relied on his body skills to neutralize all the attacks from Iron Arm.
"What? That's all you have?" Senju Chen said with a hint of joking in his tone, "No wonder you can only stay in such a miserable place."
Iron Arm's face turned livid.
"Kid, you succeeded in irritating me!"
He suddenly raised his right arm, and the metal surface suddenly cracked, revealing the complex mechanical structure inside.
The next second, a sharp metal thorn popped out from his wrist and pierced Senju Chen's throat.
Extremely fast and with tricky angles.
But Senju Chen just tilted his head slightly and let the metal thorn fly past his cheek.
"Oh? Is there such a mechanism?" Senju Chen's eyes flashed with interest, "It seems like your arm is quite interesting. You can take it back to Amado for study."
Iron Arm's breathing became rapid.
What on earth is this brat... who is he?
His attacks were obviously fast enough, but the opponent seemed to be able to predict his movements and dodge in advance every time.
"No..." Iron Arm suddenly realized something, "You are teasing me!"
Senju Chen smiled.
"Only discovered now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of lightning flashed, and his figure suddenly disappeared from where he was.
The next second, Iron Arm felt a pain in the back of his neck and lost consciousness.
Senju Chen stood behind him and withdrew his knife.
"Tsk, I thought I could play a little longer."
He looked down at Iron Arm who was lying on the ground, with a playful smile on his lips.
"But... you are worth more than twelve million taels."
Senju Chen squatted down and carefully observed Iron Arm's right arm.
The texture on the metal surface, the internal mechanical structure, and the hidden mechanisms...
"This kind of transformation technology... tsk tsk, although it is rough, the idea is quite interesting."
He reached out and touched the metal arm, a thought flashed in his eyes.
"If Amado sees this, he will probably be very interested."
Senju Chen stood up, took out a rope from his ninja tool bag, and tied Iron Arm firmly.
"Okay, next..."
He raised his head and looked in the direction outside the mine.
"Just wait until that miser takes the bait."
