Chapter 949 Self-rescue
Born in the Warring States Period, Kakuzu became famous very early and was somewhat famous. He had already seen the turmoil, friction and suspicion in the early days of the ninja world from one village to one country. In the turbulent general trend, being able to survive until now and having an iron will are the basic qualities. It is definitely a joke to say that he would believe in the inexplicable purpose of the "Akatsuki" organization.
The "Akatsuki" organization including Nagato, even if it gathers all the rebellious ninjas in the ninja world, is not necessarily stronger than the original Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara combined.
After experiencing the era when the Senju family and the Uchiha family dominated the entire ninja world, the Taki Ninja Village rebelled and never saw the "God of the Ninja World" bring real peace.
The power of the nine tailed beasts can't do it, not even the legendary "Eye of the Immortal" can do it.
All the official members of the "Akatsuki" organization, including the leader and founder, have no deep relationship with Kakuzu.
Because of personal relationships and personal likes and dislikes, there is no possibility of fully supporting the "Akatsuki" organization. He can even abandon his hometown of Taki Ninja Village, and Kakuzu doesn't look like an emotional person.
If it was for money, this reason wouldn't be too outrageous, but what Daimaru wanted to know was a deeper motive.
"Human beings are fickle animals and are unreliable. Only money will not betray me..."
It was still the very ordinary answer, which naturally did not satisfy Daimaru.
"This is just an appearance, I want to know the real reason!"
"Just use your spiritual magic to read minds. Don't you already know everything?"
"This is different!"
Daimaru shook his head. Mind reading is not omnipotent. There are some things that cannot be understood without empathy.
"Even if it is an irrefutable fact, it has a special charm when spoken by the person involved. Sometimes people's conscious and subconscious cognitions are not exactly the same. Mind-reading is like reading a book or an autobiography. A recording or video, but this cannot truly understand the 'protagonist's' thoughts. As far as intelligence gathering is concerned, these are enough, but these are not what I need to know..."
"You are so greedy!"
Kakuzu sneered in a weird accent and did not answer directly, but said in a playful way,
"What are you going to use to exchange your innermost secrets with me, a person who is about to be killed?"
"Let you die more happily?"
Daimaru didn't take this kind of teasing to heart at all, and asked casually,
"I can promise to let you die with more dignity..."
Taking a deep look at Daimaru, Kakuzu grinned and said:
"If I had been more persistent in my pursuit, I wouldn't be in such trouble today! It's a pity..."
"I didn't expect that in less than three years, they would all be surpassed, and they would die because of it, right?"
"This is nothing. I have seen geniuses who are more talented and progress faster than you. At your level, you are not considered top..."
Well, this kind of thing doesn’t need to be pointed out by Kakuzu. Daimaru himself knows it. Not to mention Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui from earlier are amazingly talented people. Even his brother-in-law Gaara is far more talented than Daimaru.
"Let's talk about yourself. To be honest, being able to die a little easier may be a relief for you..."
"I know!"
Everyone seemed to have thought of this incident and nodded,
"Live too long and wander around this world meaninglessly, just a walking zombie that can move..."
After hearing Kakuzu's confession, Daimaru's heart moved.
"You mean..."
"Ninjas are also human beings after all, and gaining the power of immortality is not luck, but a curse..."
He spoke slowly and in a calm tone, and his corners paused.
"The immortality of the body cannot prevent the decay of the soul. Earthly Resentment Yu is the secret technique of Taki Ninja Village. It barely reaches the level of forbidden techniques, but it is not without its shortcomings..."
No matter how miraculous the essence of the secret technique·Earthly Resentment is, the original intention of developing it was just to create weapons that could traverse the battlefield.
Over the years, Kakuzu has had many new hearts. Some were damaged in battles, and some were too old to be used. In short, the original heart had been abandoned long ago, and the replacements had been replaced several times.
Chakra, the bridge connecting the human body and the soul, constantly adjusts the differences between the two to synchronize them.
Like Kakuzu, most of the organs and tissues in the body tend to be marginalized, and the act of stealing other people's hearts from time to time, although it is prolonging one's own life, is also a process of constantly adding "foreign substances" to one's own soul.
If things go on like this, Kakuzu's temperament will be affected, and personal cognition may be deflected.
The "stitch monster" in the body will eventually feed back to the soul through chakra, turning Kakuzu into a monster that has lost himself.
"The so-called bounty hunter who believes in money is so dedicated to saving himself?"
Daimaru suddenly realized.
To put it bluntly, Kakuzu's talent is just that. He has no spiritual talent, let alone Daimaru's insight and Orochimaru's knowledge. Although he vaguely realizes by instinct that he needs "spiritual obsession". To stabilize one's own existence, there is no way to start.
The genjutsu blood limit of the Kurama family is very rare, and forbidden arts such as the Yamata no Jutsu cannot be obtained by Kakuzu, a bounty hunter with no background.
Compared to finding a good brother who can share weal and woe, having a vigorous love affair, or establishing a great ideal, mythizing money like a bounty hunter and believing in it unswervingly is undoubtedly simpler and better to establish a spiritual foundation. The "anchor" will prevent the soul's self-perception from being destroyed by physical impact.
Correspondingly, "loyalty" and "dedication" may also be "labels" that Kakuzu puts on himself.
It is still very troublesome to define your own personality, but it is relatively easy to establish a position for yourself and divide yourself into a camp.
As a rebel ninja and bounty hunter, he will definitely not be recognized by the mainstream forces in the ninja world. The "Akatsuki" organization is just the right rebel ninja organization and is strong enough to meet the needs of Kakuzu.
It would be even better if you can find other bonds in the organization, teammates who get along well, lovers who are close to each other, or disciples who inherit the mantle.
"you understood?"
Just when he started, Daimaru looked like he had found the answer, which made Kakuzu quite uncomfortable.
"What's so strange about this? You haven't even established your spiritual obsession, but you covet eternal life, just like a young bird fighting a storm and asking for trouble. It's pretty good that you've survived until now and haven't gone crazy..."
"Spiritual obsession? This word is really appropriate..."
Daimaru shrugged.
"If you don't have Orochimaru's ability, don't just be a 'sanjin player'. When it comes to ninjutsu practice, you are in danger every step of the way. There is no organization to back you up. It's not surprising at all to step into a big hole..."
