Chapter 153 A mere 30 million, do you think you can manipulate me at will?

"...Iwagakure Village?"

Even Kakuzu, who was well-informed and indifferent, couldn't help but feel a little surprised in his tone at this moment.

"That's right." The person in charge nodded and said frankly, "The person who issued the bounty mission is none other than Onoki, the third generation Tsuchikage of Iwagakure."

While the other four shadows kept secret about the underground black market and bounty hunters, Ohnoki had secretly established a stable trading relationship with the underground black market.

Bounty hunters from the underground black market are often hired to deal with things that are inconvenient for Iwagakure to deal with.

Although as one of the Five Kages, Tsuchikage, hiring bounty ninjas who were mostly traitorous ninjas seemed to undermine the dignity of the Tsuchikage, he obviously didn't care as he was cunning.

"So far, the bounty hunters who have worked with the Tsuchikage have said that the cooperation is very pleasant, and there is no such thing as a shop bully."

Looking at Kakuzu who was thoughtful in front of him, the person in charge explained and then changed the topic: "But it's not just a bounty hunter, anyone can accept the tasks assigned by him."

"The first thing that matters is not strength, but the credibility of the bounty ninja."

After making sure that the other party's credit is reliable enough, the Tsuchikage will selectively select and hire them based on their abilities.

Kakuzu's mission completion rate is 100%. Coupled with his obsession and belief in money, he has gradually gained credibility in the underground black market.

"Kakuzu-sama, you can consider whether you want to accept the mission."

The person in charge persuaded in a sincere tone: "Being employed by a wealthy businessman in the ninja world and being employed by one of the Five Kages, Tsuchikage, are two completely different concepts, because none of the bounty hunters he hired ended up being employed by him. Exceptions have appreciated.”

The bounty hunter hired by Ohnoki must have both credibility and strength, which is equivalent to being labeled as being recognized by the film.

Naturally, it will be favored by more wealthy businessmen and nobles, and the number of tasks and bounties it can accept will naturally increase.

Kakuzu was not tempted and agreed, but frowned and asked, "What is the mission that the Tsuchikage has a bounty on?"

"Assist the Sunagakure troops in attacking the supply point in Amegakure Village."

The person in charge smiled slightly and replied: "But before that, we need to explore a force called Daybreak in the northern part of the Kingdom of Rain. You can regard it as a declaration of submission, or you can regard it as a small test."

"If you can pass the test, there will be a more substantial bounty waiting for you in the future."

Hearing this, the upper half of Kakuzu's exposed face couldn't help but show a look of astonishment, and blurted out: "That guy actually wants to hire bounty ninjas to participate in the war?"

The Tsuchikage's boldness also exceeded his expectations.

In the past, the most they could do was deal with some rebellious ninjas and political opponents, but now they dare to let bounty ninjas participate in war operations.

However, this method can indeed effectively reduce the sacrifice rate of the Iwagakure ninja. Under the condition of ensuring the credibility of both parties, only need to pay funds, you can get the same amount or even exceed the expected return.

Although he was very moved, Kakuzu hesitated for a moment and shook his head.

"No." He exhaled and said indifferently, "That's war. No matter who it is, they may die, even me."

As an immortal ninja, he wanders through the beginning of time, even going back to the earliest days when ninja villages were established in various countries.

Once an elite member of Taki Ninja Village, he was assigned to carry out the task of assassinating the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama, but was defeated by Mu Dun.

Even if he fled back to the village in embarrassment in the face of a life-threatening crisis, what awaited him was the stigma and heavy punishment for failing the mission.

For Kakuzu, who once risked his life for the village, this is undoubtedly an extremely cruel and ruthless betrayal and abandonment.

With strong hatred, Kakuzu escaped from prison and rebelled against the village.

He took away the forbidden technique regarded as the most precious treasure by Takigakure Village, and also took away the hearts of all the senior officials of Takigakure Village.

"Secret Technique: Earth Resentment Yu" can prolong life by capturing and replacing other people's hearts and storing them in the body, and can master new chakra attributes through the meridians on the hearts of other ninjas.

As for his so-called "immortal ninja", if his entire heart is destroyed by the enemy at once, he will be killed directly like others.

There is no doubt that in wars full of smoke, it is common to die without intact bodies.

"Let's just say goodbye."

Kakuzu stood up without hesitation, picked up the box in front of him and was about to leave.

But when he turned around, the voice of the person in charge came from behind again.

"Please wait a moment."

Kakuzu's footsteps did not stop at all, but a familiar dull sound came from behind.

"One hundred million taels." The person in charge said, "The deposit is 30 million taels."

Hearing this, Jiao Du, who had already reached the gate, stopped, turned to look at the smiling person in charge behind the counter, and said coldly: "It's only 30 million taels, don't think you can manipulate me at will."

——————

"Kakuzu-sama, please keep it. This is your thirty-five million taels."

In the secret room, looking at several large boxes of money tickets in front of him, Kakuzu's breathing became heavy.

There is no way, he gave too much.

Swish! Swish!

Kakuzu began to count the money skillfully as if there was no one around. His smooth movements and unblinking concentration were an artistic conception that ordinary people could never achieve.

The person in charge, who knew the other party's quirks, had the sense not to disturb him this time.

Just watching him count the money tickets tirelessly, counting from night to sunrise.

Kakuzu counted three times in total. There was no pause in the middle, nor did he deliberately speed up, maintaining an unusually uniform speed without any time difference.

The person in charge could not help but admire and be moved by Kakuzu's persistence and piety at this moment.

This person really regarded money as a belief, enjoying the process of making money and counting money, and not caring about the value of money itself.

After all, with the bounty that Kakuzu earned day and night for 20 to 30 years, it would have been enough for him to retire and live a fulfilling life as a rich man, and he would not have to live a life of licking blood on the edge of a knife like now.

But Kakuzu did not do this. In addition to love and belief, he could not think of any other reason.

Bang!

Kakuzu closed the suitcase and exhaled with satisfaction, with a sense of happiness in his tone: "Not bad, the number is consistent this time."

"Don't worry, I will complete the task."

After that, he stood up without any hesitation and turned to walk towards the door.

"Please take care, Mr. Kakuzu, and welcome back next time."

The person in charge smiled and bowed to Kakuzu's back, paying respect to this bounty hunter who had a connection with money.

Click.

A secret door appeared in the weed-covered toilet, and Kakuzu came out carrying two large suitcases.

Looking at the sun that had risen in the distance, it was already morning, but the temperature outside was still bone-chillingly cold.

Kakuzu subconsciously clenched the suitcase in his hand, feeling the heavy weight of the money, and the chill seemed to be dispelled a little, and his body and heart could not help but become hot.

"Sure enough, in this cold world full of lies, only money can make me feel warm." He squinted his eyes and sighed.

The Land of Rain, the Hidden Rain Village...

Oh yes, there is also that "Dawn"?

Very good, let's go and take a look first.
