Senju Chen walked in front with a relaxed expression. Rin Nohara followed closely behind. She was wearing an ordinary village woman's outfit, and her face was simply covered with Genjutsu. It looked like just a Kakuzu, on the other hand, kept a consistent distance. His classic green robe seemed a bit out of place in the eyes of passers-by, but the aura emanating from his body made all eyes that tried to approach him wisely avoid him.
"Chen-kun, are we going back to Capital of Fire now?" Lin asked softly, her voice still carrying a hint of weakness after the operation.
"Well, I'll send you back first." Senju Chen replied without looking back.
He glanced at Kakuzu behind him. The old guy's face was as gloomy as ever, as if the whole world owed him money.
"Tsk, this expression probably means that his bounty was deducted too harshly. However, 30 million taels... in exchange for five hearts and Tailed Beast cell fusion. At this price, I don't think I'm cheating him." Senju Chen was thinking in his mind. He felt that he was really a conscientious boss. After all, where can he find such a "considerate" employer these days?
Of course, Kakuzu didn't know Senju Chen's psychological activities. He just felt a little uncomfortable all over. Ever since he was "kidnapped" by that kid, he hadn't had a moment of peace. First, he was beaten to death, and then he was inexplicably dragged into human experiments. As a result, he was robbed of a large bounty. He was the famous bounty hunter Kakuzu.
"Boy, what do you want to do?" Kakuzu said hoarsely, with a hint of impatience in his voice.
Senju Chen stopped and turned around with a gentle smile on his face, "Don't worry, old man. Didn't I find a good job for you? Don't you like money the most? I'm going to provide you with an opportunity to count money honestly, why don't you thank me quickly?"
Kakuzu's face twitched again. He wanted to twist off Senju Chen's head, but the mark deep in his body prevented him from taking action. This kid is simply worse than Orochimaru!
Rin Nohara looked at this scene with some doubts in his heart. Why did Chen-kun take Mr. Kakuzu to Capital of Fire? Moreover, Mr. Kakuzu seemed... very reluctant.
But she didn't ask any more questions and just followed silently. She knew that Senju Chen had his reasons for everything he did.
Capital of Fire, as bustling and noisy as ever. There was a constant flow of people, and the sound of hawking came and went. Senju Chen led the two of them through the streets and alleys, and finally stopped in front of the restaurant "Food Is Heaven".
"This is your hotel?" Kakuzu said, looking at the tall and grand restaurant on the third floor in front of him.
"Okay, let's go." Senju Chen didn't look back and led the two of them directly through the door and upstairs.
After a while, a energetic old man walked in, it was Maruboshi Kosuke.
"Young Master Chen, you are back!" Maruboshi Kosuke, then turned to look at Rin Nohara and said with a smile, "It seems that Miss Rin's problem has been solved."
"That's right, Grandpa Kosuke. Lin has just finished the operation and has been tired all the way. Let's arrange for her to rest first."
"Okay, Miss Rin, come with me." After that, Maruboshi Kosuke took Rin Nohara to the guest room to rest.
"Is this your property?" Kakuzu asked Senju Chen in confusion.
"I opened it myself, and the business is booming, so it's not bad." Senju Chen said smugly to Kakuzu.
"Well, there are quite a lot of people..." Senju Chen's attitude made Kakuzu feel like he had been cheated.
Although it is good for ordinary people to open a restaurant in Capital of Fire, such a restaurant is not worthy of the attention of future generations of the Senju Clan.
But don't your family's money run out of money? Do you still care about such a restaurant?
Just when Kakuzu was thinking about whether Senju Chen had money or had no money to install it, Maruboshi Kosuke came back again.
Senju Chen turned to Maruboshi Kosuke for introduction.
"Grandpa Kosuke, this is Kakuzu, my new accountant."
"Mr. Accountant?" Maruboshi Kosuke was stunned for a moment. He looked at Kakuzu. This old guy who exuded a depressive aura and had a green face did not look like someone who could settle accounts peacefully.
The corner of Kakuzu's mouth also twitched. He didn't want to be a bookkeeper! He was a bounty hunter, and Shinobi World, an antique who had lived for more than ninety years, was reduced to settling accounts for others? This is simply a great shame!
He Nai really can't beat him, and he's also been imprinted on him. He can't run away, so he can only stay here and say nothing.
Senju Chen ignored the two people's reactions and said to himself, "Uncle Kosuke, you have been working day and night for Food Is Heaven these days, and I feel sad when I see you. It hurts. Food Is Heaven's business is so good now, and he will open a branch soon. You will definitely be too busy alone. So, I specially invited Mr. Kakuzu, who is an expert in this field."
"Expert?" Maruboshi Kosuke was even more confused.
"That's right." Senju Chen nodded with an affirmative tone, "Mr. Kakuzu's sense of money is unparalleled. From now on, Food Is Heaven will be responsible for all financial transactions and account management. In this way, you can focus more on the preparation and management of the branch. Isn't it much easier?"
Maruboshi Kosuke heard this and thought about it carefully. What Lord Chen said does make sense. He has indeed felt a little powerless recently. Food Is Heaven Expansion is an inevitable trend. If there is a trustworthy and capable person to share the financial pressure, then he will be free to do more things.
Although Mr. Kakuzu looks a bit special, since Lord Chen personally recruited him, there must be something special about him.
"Since Lord Chen said so, then I can trust you." Maruboshi Kosuke looked at Kakuzu and said in a polite tone, "Mr. Kakuzu, please give me your advice in the future."
Kakuzu's face has turned black. Give me some advice? Just give me some shit! He is here to "work", and he is still the kind of forced worker.
He glared at Senju Chen fiercely, but Senju Chen just responded with an innocent smile.
"Grandpa Kosuke, go get our planning book and show it to Kakuzu."
"Okay, Young Master Chen." After saying that, Maruboshi Kosuke went out again.
"Okay, old man, there is no one here now, let's have a good talk." Senju Chen found a table and sat down, motioning for Kakuzu to sit down too.
Kakuzu hesitated for a moment, then sat down, but his body was tense, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
"Old man, don't put on a bad face. Don't you like money? The daily turnover of my Food Is Heaven is an astronomical amount. How happy you are to take care of this money and count it every day. Moreover, if you behave well, I can consider increasing your share."
Hearing "astronomical figures" and "shares", Kakuzu's eyes lit up slightly. He does like money, very much. If he could really manage so much money and still get a share...
"Food Is Heaven is my important industry." Senju Chen said slowly, "A large amount of capital flows, a huge accounting system, and of course there are potential risks."
Kakuzu had a cold face and said nothing. Of course he knew that with more money, there would be more things to do.
"Don't you like money? I'll give you a chance to manage the money openly and even give you management fees like the black market." Senju Chen looked directly into Kakuzu's eyes, "But the premise is that you must be loyal. You know my methods and your current situation. The mark, the heart, and your modified body..."
Although Senju Chen's tone was calm, the threat contained in it made Kakuzu's heart tremble.
"I'll take your job." Kakuzu said hoarsely, knowing that he had no choice.
"Very good." Senju Chen nodded with satisfaction, "As for the remuneration, in addition to the fixed salary, Food Is Heaven will own one percent of the future profits for you."
"Only one percent?" Kakuzu felt a little disdainful in his heart. How much money can a rundown restaurant like yours make in a year, and that's all? If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't run away, Kakuzu would have turned around and left.
"Don't underestimate this one percent." Senju Chen knocked on the table, "Food Is Heaven's potential is beyond your imagination. Grandpa Kosuke will bring the planning book and you will know it yourself. And now there are five branches under renovation. Believe me, this is much more cost-effective than if you fight in the black market."
Hearing Senju Chen say that there is a new store, Kakuzu's cold face softened a little.
