Kakuzu felt that his heart was twitching.
That was his heart sewn up with black lines. In theory, it shouldn't feel like this.
But now, he really felt an emotion called "heartache".
"So, old man." Senju Chen turned around and continued walking forward, "Your three hundred million taels are really nothing in the eyes of us Senju Clan. But don't be discouraged. After all, it's not easy for you to save so much by yourself."
Kakuzu's fists were clenched so tightly that his nails were almost embedded in his palms.
He suddenly had the urge to rush forward and tear this kid's mouth apart.
But reason told him that he couldn't.
This kid's strength is far superior to him. Moreover, the opponent is from the Senju Clan, with the entire Konoha standing behind him.
The only thing he can do now is to endure.

Senju Chen smiled even happier in her heart.
This old guy is quite tolerant.
But it doesn't matter, he has something even more ruthless.
The next day.
After spending the whole day together yesterday, I can clearly feel that Kakuzu's self-confidence is getting lower and lower, and he even walks with his shoulders crossed.
But Senju Chen obviously has no intention of letting the other party go.
"By the way, do you know how we, Senju Clan, usually spend money?"
Kakuzu did not answer, but his pace slowed down obviously.
"There is a rule in our clan," Senju Chen said slowly, "Every clan member has a fixed amount of pocket money every month. A person of my age can get about five million taels a month."
"Five... five million?" Kakuzu's voice changed its tone.
"Yes, five million." Senju Chen nodded, "But this is just pocket money, and does not include mission rewards and other income. Sometimes I find it troublesome and don't collect it for several months, and as a result, I accumulate more and more money."
Kakuzu feels that his outlook on life has been refreshed again.
Pocket money?
Five million taels a month?
Still don't want to go get it if it's too much trouble?
He has been a bounty hunter for so many years, and sometimes he can chase the target for half a Shinobi World for a bounty of hundreds of thousands taels.
And this kid actually took five million taels as pocket money, and he didn't think it was a bother to get it?
"But my sister is much more exaggerated than me." Senju Chen continued, "Her monthly pocket money is fifty million taels. But she never takes it, because she says that if she does, she will lose it in the casino anyway, so she might as well ask the clan to donate the money to the orphanage."
Kakuzu's mind has completely lost its ability to move.
Fifty million taels of pocket money?
Still haven't received it?
Also donate to orphanages?
What kind of magical operation is this?!

It's been a day and you haven't come out yet. I can't tell you are quite durable, Senju Chen thought to himself.
Go on, I don't believe I can't fool you today.
"You know, when it comes to the Senju Clan, we are actually quite frugal." Senju Chen suddenly changed the subject, "Like my great grandfather, First Hokage Hashirama Senju, he was very frugal during his lifetime. I heard that every time he went on a mission, he brought his own rice balls and never ate outside."
Kakuzu's eyes lit up slightly.
See, Senju Clan not everyone is so spendthrift.
First Hokage are so frugal, which shows...
"But there is a reason why he is frugal." Senju Chen said with a smile, "Because every time he goes on a mission, he will renovate the mountains and landscapes along the way. Sometimes after a mission, it will cost hundreds of millions of taels just to renovate the terrain. So he can only save a little on food."
"..."
Kakuzu felt his heart twitch again.
Transform the terrain?
Several hundred million taels?
Is this frugality?!
"And my second grandfather, Second Hokage Tobirama Senju." Senju Chen continued, "He doesn't spend much money, but he likes to do research. Do you know how expensive research is? Just experimental materials alone cost billions of taels a year."
Billions of taels...
Kakuzu feels that his world view has completely collapsed.
In his entire life, he may have never even seen what billions of taels look like.
"So, old man." Senju Chen stopped and turned around with a bright smile on his face, "Your three hundred million taels is really nothing. But don't be too sad. After all, you can save so much by yourself, which is already amazing."
"How about you work for me from now on and I'll pay you a salary of one million taels a month? Isn't that generous?"
Kakuzu's face turned green.
One million taels?
Shinobi World, a legendary rebellious ninja, is only worth one million taels of monthly salary?
This is simply...
"Hey, it's mainly us Senju Clan. Now my sister and I are the only two left. We really can't spend all the money!!!"

[B: Secret Technique·Tentacle Entanglement]
Hahaha, finally got it!!!
Seeing Earth Grudge Fear and Senju Chen, I finally let out a sigh of relief.
In the past two days, Senju Chen's reputation has almost worn out.
Your sister's Earth Grudge Fear!
You finally showed up!
The moment the options came out, Senju Chen said silently in his heart without hesitation: Choose A, Secret Technique·Earth Grudge Fear!
[Stealing successfully! You have obtained the secret skill·Earth Grudge Fear!]
Senju Chen felt a strange force pouring into his body.
It was an indescribable feeling, like countless tiny lines traveling through his blood vessels and muscles, finally converging on his heart.
He looked down at his chest and could clearly feel that there was something... different there.
"Tsk, is this Earth Grudge Fear?" Senju Chen muttered in his heart, "It feels quite magical."
However, he didn't show any abnormality on the surface and just continued to move forward.
"Okay, don't look like you're dying." Senju Chen waved his hand, "Let's speed up our journey and we'll be at my teacher's base soon. I'll give you a few more hearts then, and your strength will be restored."
Kakuzu followed silently without speaking.
All he wants now is to find a place to stay quietly and not to hear any more talk about money.
In just two days, his world view, or view of money, had completely collapsed.
The belief that he believed in the supremacy of money for more than ninety years was crushed to pieces in front of this Senju Clan brat.
It turns out that the 300 million taels he was so proud of were just a drop in the bucket in the eyes of a truly wealthy family.
It turns out that the money he earned through hard work was, in the eyes of others, just pocket money that could be squandered.
It turns out...
He has been a joke his whole life.
Kakuzu Suddenly I felt that living was meaningless.
"Hey, old guy, you can't think about it and are planning to commit suicide?" Senju Chen suddenly stopped and turned around.
Kakuzu raised his head, and there was no luster in those green eyes.
"Don't worry, I won't commit suicide." His voice was very calm, almost terrifyingly calm, "I still want to work for you."
"That's right." Senju Chen nodded with satisfaction, "Let's go, we're almost there."
The two continued to move forward.
Not far away, a base hidden in the mountain was already vaguely visible.
There, it is the testing base of Orochimaru.
