Chapter 69: Kakuzu at a loss

"I..."

Kakuzu's voice was a little hoarse. He licked his dry lips, and then his eyes became firm:

"Okay, I agree to join you."

"That's great."

Lu Lin clapped his hands and a smile reappeared on his face:

"Believe me, Mr. Kakuzu, you will never regret your choice today."

"I hope so."

Kakuzu said calmly, then sucked the three shadows standing next to him back into his body, then picked up his coat from the ground and put it on.

Immediately afterwards, he threw Hatake Sakumo's ninja sword over and was caught by Hatake Sakumo.

"Okay, now we are all colleagues from now on, let's get to know each other."

Nagato really wanted to explain that he was a member of the Akatsuki organization in the Land of Rain, but unfortunately Lu Lin did not give him a chance.

Are you kidding? I finally tricked you out, how can I let you go back easily?

Hatake Sakumo nodded towards Kakuzu:

"Hello, Kakuzu-san, my name is Hatake Sakumo."

"Ah."

Kakuzu nodded coldly. He didn't have a very good impression of this knife-playing guy. After all, one of his hearts was destroyed by him. But he soon remembered something. His eyes opened wide and he looked at Hatake Sakumo in disbelief:

"You...what's your name?!"

"Hatake Sakumo."

"Isn't Hatake Sakumo dead?"

This incident caused quite a stir at the time. After all, Hatake Sakumo was a very outstanding figure in World War II. Many people could not understand why such a person did not die on the battlefield but died in the village instead.

"It's just a fake death."

Lu Lin stepped forward and said:

"Let's go back first. If you want to know about Sakumo-kun, Kakuzu-san can slowly find out with him later."

Kakuzu looked at Lu Lin strangely. A dead man was now working under Lu Lin. This seemed wrong.

However, Lu Lin did not care, but summoned out another iron sand platform. Jiaodu hesitated for a while and stepped on it.

Seeing that everyone was in place, Lu Lin did not hesitate any longer and drove the iron sand platform towards the capital of the Tea Kingdom.

Along the way, Kakuzu was extremely curious about this platform. If he was not mistaken, this seemed to be the shadow of the Sand Village. How could his signature bloodline limit and magnetic escape be seen on an Uchiha?

Just when he was puzzled, the capital of the Tea Kingdom appeared in front of everyone.

This is the first time that Kakuzu has come here since the Tea Country was controlled by the Tengakure Village.

Everything here is different from when I came here before. There are merchants selling their goods everywhere, and there are many people walking on the street. Almost everyone has a smile on their face.

Moreover, the beggars on the streets had disappeared, and it was like a completely different city from the last time I came here.

"How's it going, Kakuzu-san?"

Looking at Kakuzu who looked incredulous, Lu Lin said:

"The capital of the Tea Kingdom is pretty good, right?"

"Yeah, it's definitely much better."

Kakuzu nodded and said.

Much better.

After walking a few steps, Nagato said that he planned to go find Yahiko and the others first, and Lu Lin nodded in agreement.

Watching Nagato leave, Kakuzu felt relieved. That guy's strange ability was such that he could deflect all of his attacks, which posed a huge threat to him.

Soon, Lu Lin brought Kakuzu to the palace built by the noble daimyo of the Tea Kingdom.

Before this, Hatake Sakumo also said that he needed to take care of something and left as well.

"Mizukawa."

Lu Lin shouted, and then a figure appeared in front of the two of them:

"Lord Tianying."

"Ah."

Lu Lin nodded and said:

"This is the newest Minister of Finance of our village and this country. All matters concerning financial revenue and expenditure will be handled by him in the future."

Then, Lu Lin introduced Mizukawa to Kakuzu:

"This is the acting daimyo of the Tea Kingdom. If you have any problem, you can go to him."

Lu Lin’s words made Shuichuan blush a little.

Kakuzu also stepped forward at the right time:

"Hello, Mr. Daimyo, my name is Kakuzu."

Mizukawa also said quickly:

"Hello, just call me Mizukawa."

For old people like Shuichuan Mingyan, there has never been any clear position, but their power is indeed quite great, and it can be said that they are only second to Lu Lin.

Now that the village and the country have just been established, all problems have not yet emerged. When there are more people, some problems will slowly emerge, so Lu Lin must nip these problems in the bud.

Kakuzu is currently the most suitable candidate to manage finances. After all, in the original work, he was once the person in charge of the economy of the Akatsuki organization.

In the end, Konan was able to own so many explosive tags. Some of them were made by herself, but most of them were actually purchased with the money earned by Kakuzu.

However, being in charge of a country's economic development is something that Kakuzu probably has little experience with.

But it doesn't matter. People are forced to do things. Lu Lin believes that pressure will only make Kakuzu grow, right?

Seeing Lu Lin's trusting eyes, Kakuzu was actually a little panicked inside. He didn't expect that Lu Lin's promises to him were actually true. He really intended to make himself the person with real power in the Tea Kingdom and Tianyin Village.

"correct."

Lu Lin seemed to have thought of something, looked at Shuichuan and said:

"Send someone to check our dungeon to see if there is a ninja with lightning chakra imprisoned. It would be best if it is a jonin or an elite jonin. Bring him here."

Since spies or hidden men sent by other forces were often caught, it would be a pity to kill all of them, so Lu Lin sealed the chakra in their bodies and kept them in the dungeon, occasionally asking his men to try to pry their mouths open.

Unfortunately, Lu Lin does not have the secret techniques of Konoha's Yamanaka clan, otherwise he would be able to easily learn some information.

Kakuzu seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Lu Lin with more and more disbelief.

Doesn't he know how much stronger he will be after his heart is restored?

Even if he couldn't defeat Lu Lin, it would be easy for him to turn the entire Tea Kingdom upside down.

Noticing Kakuzu's gaze, Lu Lin turned around and said a little embarrassedly:

“There really aren’t any Kage-level warriors right now, so you’ll have to make do with an ordinary heart for now.

When the Ninja World is in a state of war again, our people can help you capture strong men with various chakra attributes."

Lu Lin's words made Jiaodu feel a little at a loss. This was the first time he felt the warmth of a human being from someone who was just an enemy.

"It's okay, I can do this myself."

Kakuzu said, waving his hand quickly.
