Chapter Summaries

Kakuzu and Hidan discovered that Senju Kenya had become the target of a record-breaking bounty and set out for the Land of Fire. In Konoha, Kenya learned about the bounty and reacted with a sneer.

• Kakuzu and Hidan reached an underground bounty exchange, where Kakuzu collected five million ryō for a missing-nin’s head.
• The exchange manager showed Kakuzu a new bounty notice offering seven hundred million ryō for Senju Kenya and an intact body with a mutated Wood Release sample.

• Kakuzu and Hidan left for the Land of Fire to capture Kenya.
• Kato Yosuke told Kenya about the bounty while Kenya ate oden in Konoha, and Kenya sneered at the news.

Senju Kenya learned that Danzo and the fleeing nobles had funded a 700-million-ryo bounty on his head, drawing assassins—including Akatsuki’s Kakuzu and Hidan—toward the Land of Fire. Instead of ordering Konoha to prepare defenses, Kenya decided to raid the Underground Exchange’s vault and take its cash reserves.

• Kato Yosuke showed Kenya a black-market bounty notice offering 700 million ryo for his death and Wood Release samples.

• Kenya realized that the Underground Exchange required employers to deposit the bounty money and kept billions of ryo in its central vault.
• Kenya announced that he would attack the Underground Exchange, smash its vault, and take all its money.

Senju Kenya learned that the Underground Exchange held billions of ryo and the bounty money placed on his head, so he decided to raid its central treasury. He ordered his allies and the Iron Fist Chamber of Commerce to prepare for the expedition.

• Tsunade confronted Senju Kenya after he mapped the underground banks and Bounty Stations across the Land of Fire.
• Kato Yosuke explained that the Underground Exchange was a vast financial network whose central treasury held at least five billion ryo.

• Kenya ordered Zabuza Momochi, Haku, and the chamber of commerce to prepare transport and sacks before setting out to raid the Bounty Station.

Senju Kenya led a heavily equipped convoy to rob the Bounty Station’s secret headquarters on the Fire-Rivers border. After Zabuza Momochi and Haku destroyed a bounty hunter ambush, Kenya blasted open the hidden cavern entrance and entered with his crew.

• Kato Yosuke assembled thirty iron wagons, empty chests, sacks, and a crew of enforcers for Kenya’s expedition.

• Kato Yosuke identified the Bounty Station’s hidden headquarters behind a waterfall in Beheading Valley.
• Kenya punched through the waterfall, concealed entrance, and barriers, then walked into the cavern with his crew as the manager pleaded to talk.

Senju Kenya stormed the Bounty Station and seized its vast treasury after demanding payment for his own bounty. As his convoy left, Kakuzu and Hidan blocked the road between the Land of Rivers and the Land of Fire.

• Kenya entered the Bounty Station with Zabuza Momochi and fifty enforcers, then demanded the seven hundred million ryo posted for his head.
