Kakuzu's voice was full of humility and fear, and the face made of black lines even had a flattering expression that was uglier than crying.
"Money... Sir, I can give you all my money! Takigakure's treasure house, and everything I have accumulated over the years... all!"
He has lived for more than ninety years, and what kind of storms and waves has he not seen?
But the young man in front of him was completely beyond his cognitive scope.
Flying Thunder God, Sharingan, Rasengan, Wood Release... Any one of these legendary abilities is enough to shock Shinobi World, but now they are concentrated in one person.
What's even worse is that the other party is a junior of First Hokage.
How can we fight this? There is no need to fight.
Those who know the current affairs are heroes, Kakuzu knows this well. As long as you can survive, you can make more money if you lose it, but if you lose your life, you really have nothing.
Senju Chen looked at him with interest, gently rubbing his chin with his fingers, as if he was seriously considering this proposal.
But he was thinking about another problem.
This old guy's mood swings are so violent, why hasn't the system prompted him yet?
[...]
The system is unresponsive.
Senju Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, but the smile on his lips became deeper.
This only proves...
This old guy was acting from beginning to end.
That frightened and groveling look was just a disguise to survive. Deep in his heart, I'm afraid it didn't make any waves at all, it was still the cold, dead water.
No, maybe it's not completely trouble-free.
When he mentioned money, he could clearly feel that in Kakuzu's body that was bound by Wood Release, the flow of Chakra was stagnant for a moment.
That's heartbreaking.
No matter how much you pretend, when it comes to money, your body is still very honest.
"Money?" Senju Chen sneered, as if he heard some big joke, "Do you think I, Senju Clan, will care about your coffin book?"
He let go of his hand and let Kakuzu's head hang down, then stood up slowly and patted the dust on his hands.
"But..."
Senju Chen lengthened his tone, walked up to Kakuzu, and looked at him condescendingly.
"You made me wait for three full days, and I spent three days eating dry rice balls in this inhospitable place. How should we settle this account?"
Kakuzu's eyelids twitched and he didn't dare to answer.
"Also," Senju Chen's voice suddenly turned cold, and he kicked Kakuzu in the face again, "Back then at Valley of the End, you threw Kunai at my uncle. You won't forget this, right?"
"Bang!"
The wooden cage shook.
Kakuzu's head was kicked to the side, and it felt like the whole skull was about to fall apart.
He was complaining in his heart.
Ancestor! That all happened in the Year of the Monkey! At that time, your uncle was still a lively God of Shinobi, and I was just a passerby, leaving Kunai to join in the fun. Who knew you Senju Clan were so vindictive!
And you call First Hokage uncle? This generation...
"So," Senju Chen's voice sounded again, interrupting Kakuzu's slander, "I'll beat you up and ask you to compensate for my mental loss and food expenses. Isn't that excessive?"
"Not too much! Not too much at all!" Kakuzu nodded quickly, fearing that he would be kicked too slowly, "Sir, you can vent your anger however you want!"
"Very good." Senju Chen nodded with satisfaction, and the expression on his face suddenly became kind, like a big boy next door.
"Since you want compensation, you can't just get beaten. I think you are a person who, although not very strong, seems to be quite sensitive to money."
Senju Chen touched his chin and looked Kakuzu up and down, as if he was evaluating a product.
"My Senju Clan family has a big business, and there are many places to spend money. My sister, you know, Tsunade, spends money like water. The family's accounts have always been in a mess, and we are in need of a smart and capable accountant."
"So..."
Senju Chen's lips curved into a wicked smile.
"As compensation for offending my uncle, I will punish you... come and work for me Senju Clan to pay off your debt. What do you think of this punishment?"
Kakuzu The whole person froze.
Working?
Mr. Accountant?
He is a living fossil of Shinobi World, a legendary rebellious ninja who has fought with First Hokage (in his own opinion), and he actually wants to work as a cashier for a kid?
This is simply a shame!
But...
Mr. Accountant... the one in charge of money?
Kakuzu's heart, which was sewn together with black lines, beat unsatisfactorily.
He carefully raised his eyelids, looked at Senju Chen's expression, and asked in a dry voice, "That... sir... how much money does this accountant... manage?"
"Oh? Are you interested in this?" Senju Chen raised his eyebrows.
"No, no, no! I just... just want to understand the work content so that I can share my worries with you!" Kakuzu immediately shook his head like a rattle.
"Yeah, that's a good attitude." Senju Chen smiled, his tone casual as if he was talking about today's weather.
"I don't know the exact number. Anyway, the money my sister lost in the casino must be higher than your family fortune."
"..."
The entire abandoned mine fell into a dead silence.
Kakuzu's head, which is composed of black lines, is completely down.
His green eyes were so wide that they seemed to fall out of their sockets.
What?
Just the money lost from gambling?
Is it more than my family wealth?
Impossible!
This is absolutely impossible!
He Kakuzu, for money, betrayed the village, hunted the strong, and survived in the world. Not to mention the bounty, every penny he earned was stained with blood and sweat, which he earned with his life and dignity! After more than ninety years of accumulation, that is a huge sum of money that can make any big country look at it!
Now, this kid actually told him that the money, in the hands of another person, was just the winnings and losses in the casino?
Is this world... crazy?!
The value of money, the belief that had been built in his heart for nearly a century, was shattered at this moment by Senju Chen's understatement.
It was a shock that was countless times more profound than being penetrated by Rasengan, and more profound than being sealed tightly by Wood Release.
A kind of severe pain of collapse of world view.
Just at this moment.
An electronic sound that only Senju Chen could hear suddenly sounded in his mind!
[Ding! The target character 'Kakuzu' has been detected to have violent mood swings, his thoughts have been strongly impacted, and the list of stealable abilities has been refreshed!]
[A: Earth Release·Earth Spear]
[B: Wind Release·The Art of Wind Pressure]
[C: Water Release·The Art of Water Gun]
Coming!
Senju Chen's mouth corners rose crazily.
Sure enough, to deal with this kind of miser, there is nothing more effective than dimensionality reduction to attack his values.
Finally a system prompt appeared.
Earth Release·Earth Spear, Wind Release·Wind Pressure Technique, Water Release·Water Gun Technique
These three are the most common Ninjutsu, and Senju Chen is not interesting either.
What he is really interested in and wants to draw is Kakuzu's signature - Earth Grudge Fear
It doesn't matter if you didn't pull it out this time. As long as you look in the right direction, you will always pull it out.
"Hey, old guy, you've come to your senses."
He stretched out his hand and patted Kakuzu's face.
"How do you think about it? Will you accept the position of Mr. Accountant, or not?"
