Chapter 181 Kakuzu: I am old, but I am not blind

The next morning after Naruto returned to the village, he took out a pirated copy of Akatsuki from the attic and put it on his body, ready to join the most righteous Akatsuki organization in the ninja world at any time.

Because Sasuke had to follow others to clean up the streets of Konoha, he could only embark on the journey of looking for members of the Akatsuki organization alone...

"Who on earth is impersonating my name?!"

Kakuzu looked at the corpses on the ground and fell into deep thought.

One day two years ago, Kakuzu came to the underground money exchange as usual, and then he saw that there was a reward for his head...

Five hundred and forty million taels!!

At one point, he surpassed the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki of several villages, as well as Asuma Sarutobi who was always on the list.

And it’s the top of the bounty list!!

When Kakuzu fell into the money trap, his first thought was to exchange his head for money.

Finally, I thought that I could have five hearts, but I only had one head, which I couldn't replace, so I gave up the idea.

So here comes the question...

Why is my head so valuable?

Before Kakuzu could figure out the problem, he was chased 37 times that day, including by ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village, the Hidden Iwa Village, the Hidden Sand Village, and the Hidden Cloud Village.

Even the ninjas from Konoha Village took action.

Later, after the battle in the Land of Grass, the ninjas from several major ninja villages stopped chasing him.

Don't know what the reason is.

However, Kakuzu realized that the reason he was so valuable was because there was a thief who pretended to be him and robbed a large amount of money under his name.

rough!

Not only did I get blamed for no reason, but I also didn’t get a penny!!

Kakuzu felt like all five of his hearts were about to have a myocardial infarction.

"Made!"

"Don't let me catch you, kid!"

"Otherwise you will be in trouble!"

Kakuzu now feels that only the mission to exchange gold coins can make him happy.

Thinking of the task given to him by his leader to collect intelligence on the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, he took out a photo of a yellow-haired man, carefully memorized the yellow-haired man in his mind, and walked towards the gold exchange office.

It seems that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's bounty is second only to his own...

Why not take this opportunity to exchange that yellow-haired guy's head for money?

When Kakuzu's mind was filled with the yellow-haired figure, Uzumaki Naruto was already standing in the underground gold exchange, looking at the bounty board with interest.

Kakuzu, bounty of 540 million taels.

Uzumaki Naruto, bounty of 200 million taels.

Uchiha Sasuke, bounty of 190 million ryo.

Hatake Kakashi, bounty of 150 million ryo.

Naruto was not surprised that he, Sasuke, and Kakashi were on the list. After all, there were always people who were jealous of their talents when Team 7 was on a mission.

It is understandable that a reward is offered for his life.

As for the reason why Kakuzu was at the top of the list, Naruto guessed that this mission was most likely a reward offered by several casino owners.

It's nothing.

What Naruto found interesting was that out of all the bounties offered by their Team 7, Sakura-san had the lowest bounty.

It was only 200 taels.

Not even enough for 4 bowls of ramen.

It can be said that Brother Ying’s bounty mission is not difficult, but it is extremely insulting.

And in the description of Yingge's bounty mission, there is this sentence...

Haruno Sakura is suspected to be a peripheral member of the most evil Scientific Truth Society in the current ninja world...

Isn't this looking down on Brother Ying?!

No matter what, he was the former leader of the Science Truth Society!

And seeing this task nailed to the corner and covered with dust, I knew that no one paid attention to this task of less than four bowls of ramen.

But Naruto still took this solo mission into consideration for the personal safety of his teammates, and asked Sakura to take a look when he returned.

Don't keep shouting about catching up with me and Sasuke all day long. Brother Sakura, your bounty of 200 taels is not even a fraction of ours.

"Little devil, move aside."

Just as Naruto accepted the bounty, a strong voice suddenly rang in his ears.

Without even turning around, he caught a glimpse of the familiar red clouds and black robes from the corner of his eye.

It's Kakuzu!!

I didn’t expect that I would find the organization the first time I came to try my luck!

So lucky!

Kakuzu also noticed this yellow-haired kid. The two looked at each other, and the world seemed to be quiet at this moment.

So lucky!

I actually met Uzumaki Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!

Kakuzu narrowed his eyes slightly, and the hands hanging by his legs twitched. He was ready to take the head of the yellow-haired man at any time.

Then, something unexpected happened...

"Hello, senior!"

"Please let me join your organization!"

"I am Ichigo Kurosaki, a ninja from the Hidden Grass Village who has been training for two and a half years!"

Kakuzu:? ? ?

When Kakuzu heard the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki randomly say a name, he fell silent for a moment, and even gave up the idea of ​​taking action.

But seeing the boy's serious and enthusiastic attitude, Kakuzu once wondered if he had really recognized the wrong person.

He even fumbled for the picture of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki from his arms, looked down at it, and then looked up at the boy.

In the photo, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is still about 13 years old, but it is not difficult to see that the boy who calls himself Kurosaki Ichigo is % the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Naruto!

What is this kid doing?

Are you teasing me?

And weren't all the ninjas from the Kusagakure Village dead?

Kakuzu is now very disgusted with this kind of impersonation.

He looked at the boy coldly, with murderous intent growing in his heart.

"Are you sure your name is Kurosaki Ichigo?"

"Yes! Senior!"

"Please let me protect the world with you!"

"I also want to be a hero who saves the world!"

Kakuzu was silent again.

A great hero? Protecting the world?

How come I don’t know what Akatsuki is like?

Isn't the leader going to collect the tailed beasts and attack the major ninja villages? ?

When he thought of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki running up to him and saying something about justice and being a great hero and wanting to join the Akatsuki organization, Kakuzu suddenly felt that as an old man he seemed to be unable to keep up with the thinking of today's young people.

Kakuzu opened his mouth but said nothing, yet it seemed as if he had said everything.

"Uzumaki Naruto."

"Do you want to listen to what you are saying?"

“I may be old, but I am not blind.”

Finally, the speechless Mr. Kakuzu placed the photo in his hand in front of the boy. In order to prove the authenticity of what he said, he also pointed to the photo of the bounty mission of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki next to him.

Kakuzu said he didn't buy it at all.

And he was sure of it.

This Uzumaki Naruto... has a problem with his brain.

When Naruto saw the photo in Kakuzu's hand, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

"hehe."

"Just looking for you."

Seeing that the other party was standing there stupidly without reacting, Kakuzu took out a kunai and was about to hit Naruto's neck.

But just when the kunai was about to touch the skin on the yellow-haired man's neck and the yellow-haired man's head was about to move, Kakuzu abruptly stopped the movement.

Naruto didn't put up any resistance, and didn't even move.

But he had empty hands just now, but now he had a gold brick in his hands...

"Senior, can I join you?"
