Chapter 269 Kakuzu: You have to pay more!

And Qingsi, of course, would not let them down. Looking at the blazing sea of ​​fire and the final shooting that followed, he calmly raised his right hand, his eyes shining brightly.

"Sealing technique, suction seal!!!"

A translucent chakra protective shield suddenly appeared in front of Qingsi, flashing a faint light, like a tough barrier, blocking the fierce waves of fire and the final shooting that followed.

The scorching torrent and the exploding chakra cannon were unable to break through Qingsi's defense no matter how hard they tried. Instead, the chakra contained in them was quickly devoured by Qingsi.

In the blink of an eye, Kakuzu's two combined ninjutsu were completely absorbed by Seiji.

Kakuzu, who was retreating, sensed this scene and was immediately horrified! He fired such a big final shot!!!

He could understand the disappearance of Flame Wind Wave, after all, the opponent also used a combination of ninjutsu, and it was a combination of ninjutsu with restrained attributes, but where was his final shot? This was Kakuzu's strongest attack!

At this point, Kakuzu had no idea that he had hit a wall this time, and he might really be in trouble...!

Kiyoshi locked onto the fleeing Kakuzu from a distance, clasped his hands together, and instantly released the large amount of chakra he had just absorbed.

"Wind Release·Vacuum Jade!!!"

An air cannon compressed to the extreme shot out from Qingsi's mouth.

This vacuum ball was infused with all the chakra that Qingji had just absorbed. Therefore, its speed exceeded that of A-level wind-style ninjutsu and even exceeded the speed of sound propagation. Moreover, due to the intense friction between it and the surrounding air, it formed an extremely piercing whistling sound, as if it was going to tear the entire space apart.

"call out......!"

The air cannon cut through the sky, flashed away, and caught up with Kakuzu in an instant.

Although Kakuzu had sensed the danger, the air cannon was moving too fast for him to react. When he heard the whistling sound, the air cannon had already passed over Kakuzu and hit him heavily less than ten meters in front of him.

"boom!!!"

The moment it hit the ground, the air cannon released huge energy, causing a violent explosion.

The shock wave and heat wave generated by the explosion spread in all directions, destroying the surrounding trees and rocks into pieces. The Kakuzu who was caught off guard was also affected by the impact of the explosion which almost hit him in the face, and was blown back.

Qingsi pointed his right hand at Kakuzu, who was flying in the air and tumbling in the air, trying hard to control his body, and activated the gravity directly.

"All things are attracted by heaven!!!"

Under the tremendous gravitational force, Kakuzu, who was flying in the air, was pulled over by Qingsi without any resistance.

Kiyoshi did not try to grab Kakuzu, but when Kakuzu's body was about to reach him, he instantly converted the gravity into repulsion.

"Shinra Tenzheng!!!"

Before Kakuzu could react, he was pushed to the ground by the extremely terrifying repulsive force.

"Boom!!!"

Accompanied by a deafening bang, Kakuzu fell rapidly at an astonishing speed like a meteor under the push of repulsion and hit the ground hard.

This collision was like a meteorite falling, causing a violent roar, and the earth seemed to be shaking under this shocking impact.

In an instant, dust flew up, forming a thick cloud of smoke that quickly spread around.

When the smoke and dust cleared, a huge deep pit with a diameter of several meters appeared on the ground, and Kakuzu was lying quietly at the bottom of the pit, motionless, as if he had lost any signs of life.

The invincible Kakuzu has fallen...!

Qingsi slowly descended and stood on the edge of the deep pit, looking down at Kakuzu who was lying dead at the bottom of the pit.

After being hit by Seiji's combination of punches, Kakuzu lost another heart, leaving only the last two hearts. However, Kakuzu had lost the courage to resist.

Back then, even when he faced the God of Ninja, the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, he had never felt as powerless as he does now.

Kakuzu lay helplessly at the bottom of the pit, staring at the sky with lifeless eyes, without moving for a long time, like a salted fish that had lost its dreams.

He was defeated by Qingsi's shadow clone and started to move on the spot...!

Otsutsuki Tenshin came over with Nagato, Yahiko and Konan. Looking at Kakuzu who was easily dealt with by Seiji, and thinking back to the tough battle they had just faced, they couldn't help but secretly smack their lips in amazement, and couldn't help but sigh again at the strength of their own teacher/family head.

And this is just a shadow clone!

It was really hard for them to imagine what kind of strength Seiji's real body had now, and whether he had already rivaled the legendary ancestor of ninjas, the Six Paths Sage Otsutsuki Hagoromo!

"Kakuzu! An S-rank rebel ninja from Takigakure! Possessing the secret technique 'Earth Grudge'!" Seiji spoke calmly, and began to tell the information about Kakuzu, "He was once assigned by the Takigakure high-level officials to assassinate the first Hokage of Konoha Village, Senju Hashirama, but failed. After returning to the village..."

.........

.........

.........

Kakuzu, who was lying dead, could not help but be secretly surprised after listening to Qingsi's detailed narration. He had not expected that in this day and age, there were still people who knew him so well, an old man who was almost 70 years old.

"Excuse me, who are you?" Kakuzu asked weakly, with an unconscious honorific in his voice. At this moment, he didn't dare to call himself Uncle Kakuzu anymore. Although he was a ruthless guy, it was obvious that the other party would be even more ruthless than him. The reason why he could dominate the ninja world for so many years was that he was a man of insight and adaptability!

"This is the Fourth Mizukage of our Hidden Mist Village!" Before Kiyoshi could speak, Yahiko on the side introduced Kakuzu first.

"..." Kakuzu was silent for a moment.

good news!

They are definitely not from Konoha Village!

bad news!

They are from the Hidden Mist Village! They seem to be here to seek revenge!

My life is over...!

Kakuzu has not forgotten that a few years ago, he took on a big order from the Kaguya clan of the Hidden Mist Village. His mission was to stop the Third Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village, Bing, and create an opportunity for the Kaguya clan leader, Kaguya Musashi, to kill the successor to the Mizukage. Although the mission failed in the end and he was unable to get the balance, he was involved in Kaguya Musashi's plan to assassinate the successor to the Mizukage.

Moreover, it was obvious that the ninja who had knocked him down easily was the successor of the Mizukage back then, the current Fourth Mizukage!

However, what Qingsi said next made Kakuzu a little confused.

"You are the most powerful bounty hunter. We in the Hidden Mist Village want to hire you to carry out a mission. Of course, there will be a reward. I wonder if you will accept it?" Seiji looked at Kakuzu who was still lying on the ground motionless, and asked directly.

Kakuzu was dumbfounded after hearing this. He had said earlier that he came to hire me, the strongest bounty hunter, to carry out the mission, otherwise how could a fight have happened?

When you talk about money, I get excited. After all, making money is the top priority for me in Kakuzu!

Of course, Kakuzu subconsciously ignored the fact that he was the one who started the fight.

At this moment, Kakuzu's heart was churning wildly, and thoughts kept flashing through his mind.

However, it seems that the beating that Kakuzu received today was in vain, and even if he wanted to seek revenge later, he would not dare to do so. You have to know that that was the Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village, one of the five major ninja villages. He was a lone bounty hunter, so he had to take his head with him. He was not like those reckless men in the Hidden Cloud Village, whose brains were filled with muscles!

However, the huge loss of three hearts in this battle made his heart bleed...!

"How much?" Kakuzu spoke like an old bounty hunter. He didn't even ask about the details of the mission, but directly asked about the most critical reward. To him, as long as the money is in place, even the Hokage can kill you!

After entering the field he was good at, Kakuzu seemed to be injected with endless energy. His originally dying state disappeared instantly, as if he was revived with full blood.

He no longer lay there motionless, but suddenly displayed amazing explosive power and flipped up from the ground with a somersault.

Then, he jumped out of the deep pit with another leap and landed steadily on the ground. Then, he quickly rushed towards Qing Si and arrived in front of Qing Si in the blink of an eye.

It has to be said that money has infinite magic power for Kakuzu...!

"The target of the mission is 'Konoha White Fang' Hatake Sakumo. In one month, he will carry out a secret mission in the territory of the Land of Hot Springs. Your mission is to disrupt his action. Whether you can kill him and take his head to the underground exchange office to exchange for a bounty depends on you...! As for the mission reward, it's 20 million taels...!" Seiji replied, and informed Kakuzu of the details of the mission.

He didn't care at all about telling Kakuzu the content of the mission before he agreed to take it. After all, Kakuzu's credibility was guaranteed. Moreover, Kakuzu was a man who knew how to handle affairs of state. If he refused, he would probably be sent to the Pure Land to see the Six Paths Sage by Seiji on the spot.

“Who???” Kakuzu was stunned. He seemed to hear a familiar name.

"The head of the Hatake clan in Konoha Village, 'Konoha White Fang' Hatake Sakumo!" Qingsi repeated it indifferently.

"Mr. Mizukage, Hatake Sakumo is a high-ranking figure in Konoha Village!" Kakuzu took a deep breath and said, refusing to mention that he had once accepted a commission from the elder Chiyo of the Sand Village and had fought with Hatake Sakumo.

"So... are you going to refuse? As a bounty hunter, do you still care about these things?" Qingsi sighed slightly, and a barely perceptible murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"No! Lord Mizukage, you misunderstood!" Kakuzu was shocked and immediately denied it righteously. How could he refuse such a good job? However, he wanted to bargain with Seiji. "What I mean is that Hatake Sakumo has a very high status in Konoha Village and was even granted the title of Hokage Half Sleeve by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire!"

After a few seconds of pause, two rays of light suddenly shot out from Kakuzu's green eyes, "You have to pay more!!!"

Jiaodu made a huge request and he would not give an inch when it came to money!

Qing Si was stunned for a moment, and immediately started to murmur in his heart, my goodness, this guy really values ​​money more than his life!

But it's better this way, such talents are easier to control, and they don't care about friendship but only interests. To put it bluntly, as long as he has enough funds, he will not worry about not being able to use Jiao Zu. After all, the thing that Qing Si lacks the most is money!

As for why he didn't use the Samsara Eye to directly control Kakuzu like he controlled Kaguya and Musashi, it was because the current Seiji was just a shadow clone whose strength just passed the threshold of Kage level. Although he could use the power of the Samsara Eye, he was still a little bit unable to control a strong man like Kakuzu.

So, after sorting out his thoughts, Qingsi directly raised the price for Kakuzu, "One price! Thirty million taels!"

"Sure! I'll take it!!!" Kakuzu didn't bargain anymore, but accepted the offer impatiently. He never expected that the Mizukage would be so generous!

Thirty million taels, this is a big deal, comparable to the bounty for hunting down an S-rank rebel ninja from a major ninja village. Since his debut, he has only taken on deals of this scale three or five times.

You know, the last time Kaguya Musashi hired him to intercept the Third Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village, the reward was only close to 20 million taels!

Thirty million taels, the target is Hatake Sakumo who I fought before, so handsome...!

However, Kiyoshi did not give this price casually. After all, what Shimura Danzo paid to the Hidden Mist Village was a full 50 million taels!

This in and out, he handed the task over to Kakuzu, and directly earned Shimura Danzo 20 million ryo! And he also completely passed on the possible risks.

Of course, Kiyoji would definitely not do nothing. Although he has hired Kakuzu to take action, the Kirigakure ninjas can follow behind and take advantage of the opportunity. If he can kill "Konoha White Fang" Hatake Sakumo without revealing his identity, Kiyoji will definitely be willing to do so.

In his imagination, Kakuzu might not be able to really kill Hatake Sakumo. Although Kakuzu was very strong, Hatake Sakumo was no pushover either. He had both offensive and defensive swordsmanship and lightning-style ninjutsu, and he was also extremely fast. He could retreat calmly if he couldn't win.

However, as long as the mission that Hatake Sakumo is going to carry out can be destroyed, it will be enough to meet Danzo's requirements.

The Kage-level warriors of Kirigakure will serve as a reserve force, lying in ambush on Hatake Sakumo's way back to the Land of Fire, and will launch a second round of assassination on him. As for whether they can successfully kill Hatake Sakumo and make Konoha lose its sharpest "White Fang", it depends on how far Kakuzu can force Hatake Sakumo.
