Chapter 43 Huge Profits
Chapter 43 Huge Profits
"Then stop your ninjutsu for now. We're not in the mood to write under these circumstances." Kakuzu decided to follow his heart and compromise for the time being.
Uchiha Gen nodded and thoughtfully asked, "Do you need a pen?" Without waiting for their confirmation, he tossed them a pen.
Kakuzu looked at the pen that had fallen in front of him and suddenly said, "Hidan, go pick it up."
"..."
Hidan, looking utterly dejected, walked over. Fine, let him do all the dangerous work. He won't die anyway. He can just have Kakuzu help him piece himself back together after he's dismembered.
Uchiha Gen kept his promise and slowly retracted the chains, but he didn't completely retract them; he simply removed the Sharingan's enhancement.
The main purpose of doing this was to prevent them from escaping, and Kakuzu temporarily put aside his thoughts.
"Do we have to write it on every single piece of money?" Hidan asked, picking up a pen.
"One signature each is enough." Uchiha Gen seemed very easy to talk to at the moment. He had received two signatures at once, and his mood was good, so his tone was naturally very gentle.
After writing, Hidan spread out the two bills to show Uchiha Genji that the agreement had been signed. Then he put the money in a box, placed it between the two of them, and silently raised his hands and stepped back.
Gen Uchiha walked over and released the Kongo Seal at the same time. Kakuzu and the other two immediately retreated.
Uchiha Gen picked up the box, intending to take a look at the two signatures. Although he could choose to submit them directly, he was simply curious about what their signatures looked like.
Suddenly, Kakuzu, who had previously retreated, appeared behind Uchiha Gen, his arm instantly turning black—Earth Release: Earth Spear! With extremely hardness, it attempted to pierce Uchiha Gen's heart.
Just as he encountered Uchiha Gen, Uchiha Gen suddenly disappeared in front of him and appeared behind Kakuzu as if by teleportation, simultaneously pressing a kunai against his heart, reversing the situation.
Just as Kakuzu was about to make his move, Gen Uchiha seemed to know what he was thinking. "Although I know I can't kill you like this, I think you wouldn't want to lose a heart for nothing, right?"
Upon hearing this, Kakuzu's mood sank, and his face immediately turned grim. His information had been leaked! Where did this guy get the information? Apart from the leader, everyone who had seen his abilities should be dead.
This guy has to die!
Thinking of this, Kakuzu suddenly used the Body Flicker Technique to create a large distance, took off his Akatsuki robe, and jumped off his two masks to unleash his ultimate technique: Compound Ninja Art: Flame Wind Chaos!
"..." Uchiha Gen narrowed his eyes, looking at the raging sea of fire before him. It's just a bounty for Asuma's head, is it really worth it? Taking off your clothes means certain death, bro. Is it really a good idea to set yourself up for failure so early?
Meanwhile, taking advantage of the obscured view by the flames behind the sea of fire, Hidan, who had disappeared somewhere, suddenly appeared, wielding his scythe and slashing hard at Uchiha Gen. His goal was low; he didn't want to cause much damage to Uchiha Gen, just a little blood would be enough.
However, Uchiha Gen had no intention of playing along. He had already taken advantage of them, so it was better to show some courtesy. Sensing the location he had marked earlier, he used his teleportation ability to leave.
As he returned to the marked point, Gen Uchiha's hair, which had been curled by the flames, returned to its original state...
That's why he hasn't cut his hair short yet; it's pointless.
Hidan suddenly slashed at the air, while Kakuzu frowned and carefully sensed his surroundings, but he could no longer find any trace of Uchiha Gen. He could sense that Uchiha Gen had not hidden somewhere, but had simply vanished into thin air.
Suddenly, a more reasonable explanation came to mind: it seems that the Vajra Lock he used before was not without its price, at least he didn't use it again in the subsequent encounters.
However, relying on his abilities just now and the Vajra Lock he used at the beginning, Kakuzu couldn't help but feel a little scared after his anger. If it weren't for the fact that they hadn't shown any intention to kill him and the others for some reason, he might have already been killed.
And that mask from earlier... I have a feeling this is related to the organization's new recruits.
Thinking about this, Kakuzu came to his senses and looked at his empty hands. He began to doubt his life. The corpse hadn't left him either. The more he thought about it, the worse he felt. He never wanted to come to this wretched place again.
We need to be careful with our actions from now on. Who knows if only that guy knew our information? The organization's ultimate goal is to collect the Tailed Beasts, and the Adamantine Lockdown has a great ability to restrain them. I'll report back to the leader and see how he handles it.
In his heart, Kakuzu had sentenced Uchiha Gen to death, after all, in his mind, the leader's power was comparable to that of a god, and there was no way that Uchiha Gen could fight against him.
On the way to the bounty office, Uchiha Gen carefully examined Hidan's signature and began to ponder how these symbols were composed. "These symbols are actually characters?" Moreover, the handwriting had been recognized by the system.
Having obtained two more trial cards, Uchiha Gen was in a good mood and couldn't help but wonder if he should start his robbery spree. This was incredibly profitable!
The bounty for this rogue ninja named Tōno was a full 1000 million ryō, and with the money stolen from Kakuzu and the Uchiha Gen obtained from the gambling den, there was an extra 800 million ryō available for use.
Two shadow clones were created to send them back, since due to the time lost earlier, there was only about half a day left to travel.
If you want to arrive at Konoha within the time Tsunade sets, you need to use the "Stop" technique, which consumes a lot of chakra. By having one clone carry another clone, you can reduce the consumption and allow the clone, Uzumaki Zero River, to have more chakra.
In Konoha, after Tsunade finished reviewing the documents, she asked Shizune, who was helping to organize them, "What's the date now?"
"Lady Tsunade, it's already the 9th. Is there a problem?"
"It's nothing." Tsunade rubbed her eyes. Uzumaki Reikawa, don't let me down...
Just as Shizune was about to leave with the documents in her arms, the door suddenly opened with a "bang!" startling her, and the documents in her hands scattered on the ground.
"Sorry, sorry!" Reikawa Uzumaki quickly helped Shizune pick up the documents.
Tsunade smiled upon seeing this, but her tone was accusatory, "You came back right on time?"
"No, no, how could I dare?" Uzumaki Reikawa looked frightened, but after Shizune left, he suddenly became serious again. "Hokage-sama, I unexpectedly obtained some information on this trip. The Five-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure may have been captured, but we don't know who it is."
Upon hearing this, Tsunade's expression turned serious as she mentally processed the information she had gathered over the past few days. "I understand. I have my own plans for this. There's something I could ask you for a favor."
