Chapter 368: A man not interested in money, Uchiha Itachi goes down the old path

"You bastard Kakuzu! It was you who wanted to come to Otogakure Village to ask for your salary from Boss Dragon God!"

The furious Scorpion of the Red Sand made Liuyun stunned for a moment.

"What salary do I want? Isn't it my duty to serve Lord Dragon God? It was because you said you were short of money that I accompanied you to the Otogakure Village..." Kakuzu said seriously.

"Asshole, I'm going to kill you!"

Scorpion of the Red Sand is not good at arguing, and seeing Kakuzu being so shameless, he immediately had the urge to kill him.

"enough!"

Liuyun scolded with a stern face.

Hearing this serious voice, the two of them immediately calmed down, but Scorpion couldn't hide his gaze towards Kakuzu no matter what...

"Wife, come here..."

Liuyun called out to Kushina who was trimming flowers in the distance.

"What's the matter?" Kushina first nodded friendly at the two strangers, then asked curiously.

"How much cash is there at home?" Liuyun asked casually.

"I haven't counted it, but I think there should be around 20 or 30 million..." Ever since becoming the Dragon God's wife, Kushina has lost interest in money...

Liuyun's annual salary in Otogakure Village reached nine figures. The Dragon Ball novels he wrote during his school days were sold throughout the ninja world under the name "Written by the Dragon God himself." His annual comic book dividends alone were a staggering sum, not to mention his other income...

Anyway, someone deposits money into the card regularly every month, so they are too lazy to count the amount.

“Is this enough?”

Liuyun suddenly smiled and looked at the two of them. He did not feel offended or angry because of their behavior.

"That's enough!"

Kakuzu had a beaming look on his face. It was good enough that he could get the money. He didn't dare to ask for too much. Twenty or thirty million would definitely be a lot for two people to share!

The famous Twelve Guardian Ninjas, each head was only worth 30 million in the gold exchange. The key point was that doing something like that required risking one's life, and of course there was also the risk of failure and death. Liuyun waved his hand and planned to give them the money...

Moreover, the prices are relatively cheap now. The current 20 to 30 million is equivalent to the 50 to 60 million when Lu was killed.

This amount of money is actually enough to satisfy Kakuzu's appetite, and it is also enough to solve Scorpion's financial difficulties.

Seeing that Scorpion of the Red Sand was still in a bad mood, Liuyun smiled helplessly, and then told Kushina to go to the bedroom to get a checkbook.

In fact, at this moment, Scorpion was still thinking about how to kill that bastard Kakuzu after he left the Sound Village, so he didn't even notice when Liuyun glanced at him.

Taking the checkbook from Kushina, Liuyun filled in a series of numbers on the two checks and finally wrote his own name.

"Here, you can cash it in any bank in Tianzhiguo..." Liuyun smiled and handed two checks to the two men.

When they saw the series of numbers on the check, Kakuzu and Scorpion were shocked on the spot.

"One...one hundred million..." Scorpion of the Red Sand said in disbelief.

Kakuzu next to him had an ecstatic look on his face, and his green eyes were flashing wildly with the light of money.

"Thank you for the reward from Lord Dragon God. Kakuzu's life will be yours from now on!" Kakuzu knelt down to Liuyun on the spot.

"Thank you so much, Boss Dragon God..." Scorpion of the Red Sand quickly bowed and thanked him after realizing what was happening. He wasn't as shameless as Kakuzu and couldn't bring himself to kneel...

"Work hard. As long as you can demonstrate enough value, you can get as much money as you want." Liuyun said calmly.

He is really not interested in money now!

"Have you figured out how to carry out the mission from the leader of Akatsuki?" Liuyun took the initiative to ask about their mission.

"Mission? We don't plan on carrying out that guy's mission..." Kakuzu replied with a smile.

Scorpion nodded when he heard this. These two brothers did not take the task assigned by Tendo Pain seriously.

"Since it's a mission, it must be completed... Kakuzu, do you remember the person I wanted you to find before?" Liuyun took the initiative to bring up the past.

Kakuzu was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment before quickly speaking, "Are you referring to Hidan?"

"Well, you guys go to the Land of Hot Springs and try your luck. That guy is a rebel ninja from the Hidden Hot Springs Village. He loves killing people for sacrifice. You can look for him in various villages. It shouldn't be difficult to find him." Liuyun gave the two of them a general direction.

"Okay, we'll be there soon!"

"Go ahead. If you find your target, bring him to me first." Liuyun waved his hand to signal the two that they could leave.

"Hi!"

"Yes!"

As the two left Otogakure Village, a fierce Kage-level battle broke out outside the village shortly afterwards.

night.

Konoha Village.

In a secret room in the Hokage Building.

"Itachi... With your father, the clan leader, around, it's difficult for us to completely eradicate the rebels within the Uchiha clan..." Hatake Sakumo said sternly to Uchiha Itachi who was half-kneeling on the ground in front of him.

"Yes, my father... he is very stubborn." Uchiha Itachi whispered with his head down.

"What do you think we should do..." Hatake Sakumo asked with a little helplessness.

Uchiha Itachi was silent for a long time after hearing this, but he could not utter the word "kill" no matter what.

"Alas, I know this matter is very difficult for you... I have planned to hand it over to the Anbu..." Hatake Sakumo said after a sigh.

"!!!"

Uchiha Itachi raised his head in surprise when he heard this.

"Hokage, I said I would solve the Uchiha clan's problem, and this can only be done by me. Konoha cannot intervene... If the Anbu get involved, it will cause the Uchiha clan to hate Konoha... Then the situation will become even worse!"

Uchiha Itachi hurriedly explained the interests involved.

"But doing this... is too cruel for you..." Hatake Sakumo showed a look of pity on his face.

"Hokage-sama... let's proceed according to the original plan... With the help of (Mask) Madara's power, I can... and then I can easily infiltrate the Akatsuki organization..." Uchiha Itachi brought up the plan again.

"That's your father... Can you really do that? Aren't you afraid that Mikoto will blame you and your brother will hate you..." Hatake Sakumo rubbed his temple and sighed.

"For the sake of the village's stability, I can do it!"

"As for mother and Sasuke... I can only feel sorry for them..." Uchiha Itachi said and lowered his head again.

Between family and village, he finally chose the village.

Before leaving, Brother Shisui asked him to protect Konoha. He must do what he said and not let Brother Shisui down!

In this life, many Uchiha clan members quietly changed their fate because of Liuyun's "butterfly effect", but Uchiha Itachi eventually had to go down the old path of killing his father and relatives, and "betraying the village" to join Akatsuki.

In this way, Uchiha Itachi should be grateful to Liuyun. After all, in the original Uchiha clan, only Sasuke, the only legitimate descendant, was killed. In this life, most of the Uchiha clan were able to survive. Hatake Sakumo was actually very tolerant towards this family...

Unfortunately, Uchiha Itachi did not understand the cause and effect of this matter, and he only had hatred for Uchiha Ryuun.

Because his brother Shisui was most likely killed by the other party, joining Akatsuki would not only allow Konoha to obtain intelligence about this evil organization, but perhaps one day he would be able to use the power of this organization to avenge his brother Shisui!
