The Search
With an Uzumaki Hane Yu appeared in front of Uesugii, hugged him, and landed on the ground, saying, "Uesugi, how are you?" Uesugii tried to speak, but coughed up blood.
After a long while, he weakly said, "It seems they're not dead yet, but there's no need to go, it's too late, cough cough cough," coughing up blood continuously. He suddenly grabbed Uzumaki Hane's hand and said, "Don't go..." Then his arm slid limply to the ground.
Uzumaki Hane silently stared at the lifeless Uesugii. This was the first person close to her to die. She realized how simple death could be. Besides sadness, Uzumaki Hane felt a deep fear—a fear that one day she too would die suddenly like this...
Standing before Uesugii's tombstone, Uzumaki Hane said firmly, "I will avenge you." Reflecting on her arrival in this world, she realized she had been too weak; for example, she hadn't made a single move when faced with Danzo's repeated attacks.
In this cruel world, human life is the cheapest thing; anyone can die. If you don't fight for your life, how can you survive? This time, I'm going to change myself. Let Kakuzu and Hidan be the first step in my transformation.
Uzumaki Hane rushed towards the original battlefield, but when he arrived there, Kakuzu and Hidan were nowhere to be seen.
However, this was to be expected, and Uzumaki Hane planned to continue the search. To find Kakuzu and Hidan, he would probably have to start with the black market, since Kakuzu was in charge of Akatsuki's finances and was greedy, often hunting down people with bounties on the black market.
Uzumaki Hane created a lava mask on his face and went to the black market to search for Kakuzu and his group.
Three months later, in the town, the surrounding residents had all disappeared, leaving only a messy street. Uzumaki Hane stood in the middle of the street, his right hand turned into lava, piercing through the chest of the ninja in front of him, and there were two ninja corpses around him.
The ninja stared at Uzumaki Hane, as if trying to memorize his image. Uzumaki Hane, however, paid no attention, casually tossing the corpse aside and turning to leave.
For the past three months, Uzumaki Hane had frequently appeared in the black market in search of Kakuzu. At first, he would try to conceal himself, but the ninjas would quickly see through him. Every day, many ninjas would attack him, and Uzumaki Hane had only one word: kill. He killed until they were terrified, and countless ninjas died at Uzumaki hands. In the end, ordinary ninjas no longer dared to attack Uzumaki Hane, and Uzumaki Hane stopped hiding and swaggered directly into the black market. However, the black market seemed oblivious to the fact that he had destroyed a black market Uzumaki Hane because of his battle with Kakuzu that day.
Next, Uzumaki Hane arrived at the next town, where there was a black market bounty on someone, and most importantly, the person had seen someone who was immortal.
Soon, Uzumaki Hane arrived in the town, where his opponent had opened a casino and recruited many henchmen. Coupled with his status Jonin, he was the local tyrant.
After asking around, Uzumaki Hane found the casino, the White Chrysanthemum Casino. Two burly men stood at the entrance, their bodies covered in tattoos, their eyes gleaming with menacing light as they scanned the people around them. It was clear at a glance that they were not good people.
Uzumaki Hane was there to kill, so he naturally didn't hold back. He walked directly in front of the two men, casually pressed down, and sent them flying backwards, crashing into the gambling tables inside.
"Someone's causing trouble again."
"This guy is really fearless."
"Why is there trouble happening every day?"
"A ninja came here last time, and he was killed."
The gamblers inside remained calm and immediately hid nearby, watching with great interest, clearly having encountered this situation frequently.
Uzumaki Hane ignored him and walked straight in.
A large crowd gathered around, and the leader shouted, "Do you know where you are? How dare you cause trouble here?"
Uzumaki Hane had no interest in these small fry. With a flash, he charged into the group, like a tiger among sheep. All the thugs screamed in pain and were quickly dealt with by Uzumaki Hane.
Seeing this, the gamblers knew that something serious was about to happen, and they all fled the casino. Uzumaki Hane ignored them and continued walking inside.
As they walked into a courtyard, several sharp earthen Uzumaki Hane suddenly emerged from beneath Uzumaki Hane's feet, instantly piercing through him.
Then a ninja stepped forward, looked at the pierced Uzumaki Hane, and said, "What? I thought some ninja was trying to kill me, but it's just a brat."
Suddenly, the Uzumaki Hane transformed into lava and slowly slid down.
Seeing this, the ninja Samura sensed danger and dodged the attack from behind with a swift movement. However, his back was still injured, as if burned by intense heat. Samura looked at his attacker and immediately saw the Magma Arm. As if remembering something, he exclaimed, "You're Uzumaki Hane!"
Uzumaki Hane, who likes to use his Magma Arm to pierce his opponents' chests, has been attacked by a large number of ninjas due to his high bounty. However, Uzumaki Hane terrified all the attackers. His greatest achievement is that he once killed five Jonin. Unexpectedly, his opponent came to kill him.
Knowing he was no match for Uzumaki Hane, Samura hurriedly said, "I'm willing to give you everything I own, I just hope you'll let me go."
Uzumaki Hane looked at Samura. Samura had lost his ninja spirit due to his long-term pampered life, but Uzumaki Hane did not intend to let him go. Before that, he wanted to ask about Hidan.
Uzumaki Hane asked, "Have you ever seen someone who is immortal?"
A flicker of fear crossed the ninja's face.
He recalled that three days ago, two strange men came to his casino, wearing black trench coats embroidered with red clouds. One of them was masked, and the other carried a huge scythe with three blades.
The two arrived at the casino, where the ninja wielding a scythe immediately slashed at a customer who also appeared to be a Jonin. The two began to fight.
Hearing the noise, Samura ran out and saw the scythe-wielding ninja taking blood from the ninja, performing a ritual, and killing the ninja before taking the body away. The terrifying immortality and the method of killing filled him with dread. Moreover, because the ninja had been killed in his casino, the ninja's clan had put a bounty on his head.
Samura recounted what had happened that day, and then Uzumaki Hane asked Hidan many questions, which Samura answered one by one.
Samura looked at Uzumaki Hane and said, "I have told you everything I know, please let me go. I am willing to give you my whole life." Uzumaki Hane's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and his right hand pierced through Zuo Cun's chest. Samura stared intently at Uzumaki Hane, dying unwillingly.
