"Tap tap tap,"
Kakuzu, who had just emerged from the public restroom, happened to be standing in the middle of their battle.
Carrying a suitcase full of cash in one hand and dragging an empty body bag in the other, Kakuzu asked in a deep voice, "Need any help?"
"Hello!"
" Kakuzu, come quick and help!"
Seeing that the Jashin's magic array was useless, Hidan pulled the giant scythe out of his body and leaned towards Kakuzu with a disgruntled expression.
"That bastard's acting strange! My Death Controlling Possessed Blood doesn't seem to have any effect on him!"
There was no response from the Kakuzu; it simply turned its head to look at the figure on the wooden chair.
"Need not."
"I've pretty much figured out what this guy's abilities are like."
"His talent for Ninjutsu is practically zero, and his Taijutsu is also mediocre..."
"Aside from that Jashin's curse, which is somewhat interesting, there's nothing else noteworthy."
Haruma, sitting with her legs crossed on the wooden chair, commented as follows, then added:
"However, this guy's arrogant and crazy personality is quite a good fit for your organization."
Kakuzu Haruma and casually tossed the box full of cash over.
His sharp gaze was so intense it almost made the box steam; Kakuzu was quite perceptive.
Hidan paused, a flicker of fear crossing his eyes!
Even if Hidan was stupid, seeing the two of them exchanging pleasantries, he realized what was going on!
That money-grubbing Kakuzu actually gave away his manhood!
These guys are definitely in cahoots!
"Hey, Kakuzu, are you kidding me?!"
Seeing that his Yuhi companions didn't respond, Hidan gritted his teeth and roared, "Old man, do you also want to become a sacrifice to the Jashin?!"
"Forget it, this guy is just too noisy."
"Let's finish this quickly."
A familiar voice rang in his ears, Hidan was just about to turn around to face the enemy.
In the instant his ankle twisted, Hidan's entire body shattered into five pieces, like building blocks falling apart!
Crimson blood gushed from the severed limb like a fountain!
Kakuzu's pupils suddenly contracted.
Before he could even see what was happening, Hidan, who had just been beside him, had already turned into a human stump.
Kakuzu knew Hidan was no match for him, but Haruma's close-combat speed still startled Kakuzu.
"Don't just stand there, didn't you bring a body bag? Perfect, we can put this guy in it."
As Haruma gave instructions, she skillfully began to put on a brand-new Akatsuki.
As soon as Haruma finished dressing, his face transformed into Hidan's appearance!
"Mmm, mmm, mmm!"
His limbs were severed, and his mouth was stuffed with clumps of mud.
Hidan glared at Kakuzu, who was expressionlessly stuffing his body into the body bag bit by bit, twisting his body and emitting muffled groans!
The noisy sounds finally stopped after all the scattered remains were put into the bag.
All I can say is that the body bag has good sound insulation; good job.
With a wave of his hand, Haruma Tian pulled the crimson giant scythe that had fallen to the ground directly towards him!
With the giant scythe slung behind his head, Haruma mimicked Hidan's expression, slightly grinning as he said:
"Let's go, Kakuzu, a new life at the branch office..."
"I can't wait to start working!"
"Wrong,"
Haruma paused, then raised his giant scythe, laughing wildly, "He should be eager to help the Lord Jashin find the best offerings!"
Kakuzu nodded silently, carrying the body bag weighing over a hundred pounds, and walked behind Haruma like a follower.
Two days have passed.
Within the Land of Fire, in a dense forest not far from the Bounty Station.
On Haruma, using Wood Release and Earth Release, an underground base that can be built in an hour or two is comparable to an underground mansion.
Hidan's five severed body parts were locked in a dark room at the base.
Day 1.
Haruma had his fill of being a researcher, thoroughly disassembling Hidan's body inside and out.
The blood that spurted out alone weighed at least twenty pounds.
Thankfully, Kakuzu was there to help with the stitching, otherwise the gift prepared for Orochimaru would almost have been ruined by Haruma.
Having made no progress, Haruma gave up the next day.
Haruma leaned back on the sofa, fiddling with the sickle in her hand.
Kakuzu stared intently at the map and the latest bounty information in his hand.
And you know what?
Haruma and Kakuzu go quite well together.
One person earns the money, and the other pockets it.
Both of them love cash to the core.
"Buzzing"
Kakuzu and Haruma paused, exchanging a glance.
The rings on their hands transmitted a connection signal.
Haruma put down his sickle and whispered to Kakuzu, "Let's go see what good things are happening first, then we'll figure out where to work when we get back."
A massive body resembling a withered tree trunk, with nine eyes and ten fingers.
It was pitch black, without a single ray of light.
Kakuzu, the illusion of Haruma still appears.
Apart from Obito, who was nowhere to be seen, a total of nine phantoms gathered here.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Black Zetsu spoke first, "Three days ago, Orochimaru, disguised as the Kazekage, led the Sand Ninja and Sound Ninja to attack Konoha."
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, has been confirmed dead; Orochimaru is seriously injured.
"That guy did a good job!"
Deidara grinned and said, " Orochimaru is quite capable, being able to take down the Konoha leader in someone else's stronghold."
Scorpion's deep voice rang out. "Now that guy's seriously injured, let's find him as soon as possible!"
"A Kage Level puppet! I can't wait to create this eternal art!"
"Cough cough!"
Speaking of art, Deidara is about to start arguing with Sasori again.
Black Zetsu quickly interrupted, adding, "However, on the day Sarutobi died, a mysterious person impersonating the leader appeared in Konoha."
Nagato, standing atop the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, showed no reaction, clearly already aware of this information.
"Hey, no way!"
Haruma interjected, "How can anyone impersonate the leader's Rinnegan?!"
Black Zetsu couldn't explain it, because he was still completely baffled even after receiving the message.
I checked it several times.
Since quite a few people witnessed it at the time, Black Zetsu finally confirmed the authenticity of the news.
But no matter how hard he racked his brains, Black Zetsu still couldn't figure out why a second pair of Rinnegan would appear in the Shinobi World.
If Black Zetsu hadn't confirmed with Nagato beforehand, he would have thought it was really Nagato who personally took action.
"Could that person have even faked the Rinnegan?!"
Haruma imitated Hidan's tone and asked the question in an exaggerated way.
"That's right."
Black Zetsu nodded and said in a deep voice, "That mysterious guy does indeed have a pair of Rinnegan."
I'm currently trying to find out where he is.
Black Zetsu's confirmed statement, the second pair of Rinnegan.
Upon hearing this, the members of the Akatsuki all looked more serious.
Kakuzu took a step forward, looked up, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Has the leader been staying in Amegakure these past few days?"
Nagato frowned and nodded; he had a bad feeling.
"What?!!"
Seeing Nagato nod, Haruma jumped up and shouted, "Chief, didn't you come to the Land of Fire two days ago!?"
"They even took all the mission funds from Kakuzu's body!"
"Was that person an imposter?!"
Upon hearing this,
Konan spoke up, urgently asking Kakuzu, "You're saying that person took all the mission funds!?"
The phantom's facial expression was unclear.
But Haruma could clearly see the surprise in everyone's eyes and the anxiety in Konan's eyes.
A terrorist organization with distinct personalities...
Three matryoshka doll-like leaders who could rebuild or destroy an entire Shinobi World for love...
Friendship: Yahiko, whose death marked the Nagato of the world's pain.
Love: Starting with Rin's death, the story revolves around rebuilding the Shinobi World and creating a world with Rin.
Family Bond: Starting with the mother's seal, destroy the Shinobi World, grow the God Tree Fruit, and break the mother's seal.
A hidden gaze swept over the group of phantoms, and Haruma's lips curled into a slight smile.
The days ahead shouldn't be too boring~
This chapter can be considered the beginning of Volume Two, the Akatsuki arc.
I won't divide the article titles into sections to avoid mistakes and trouble.
