Chapter 801 Professional Poaching
After leaving the gold exchange, Mu Qingzhi did not walk too far, but stopped when he walked to a nearby forest.
Not long after, accompanied by a slight sound of footsteps, a figure covered in a cloak slowly walked out of the woods. It was almost night at this time. In the depths of the dim forest, the figure stood at the boundary between light and shadow.
"I heard you have something to do with me."
Looking up at her, Kakuzu's tone was emotionless.
"Without a ninja forehead protector, it means you are not a ninja, but you have a strong strength and should come from a ninja clan. Flaming hair and burning eyes, there is no such person as you in the ninja world, who are you?"
As a contemporary of the "God of Ninja" and even an assassin of him, Kakuzu has lived for too long. For a long time, he has been watching the changes in the entire ninja world from a third-person perspective.
He had not lived in vain for so long. He knew about the more famous ninja clans or blood limit in the ninja world, but he had never heard of the situation of the girl in front of him.
The flaming hair that seemed to be burning could barely be connected to the Uzumaki clan that had been exterminated, but it didn't feel like it. The Uzumaki clan was good at sealing techniques and had strong physical energy by nature. They were the best carriers of Jinchūriki, but the flaming-haired girl in front of him gave people a feeling of inexplicable nothingness.
Kakuzu asked himself that his perception ability was pretty good, but even though the girl was standing in the middle of the woods in front of him, in his perception, there was nothing there.
He had never seen this kind of concealment ability that seemed to be completely integrated into nature. If the other party practiced some assassination-type ninjutsu, there might be an unprecedented assassination master in the ninja world.
It was precisely because of this that he was fully alert in his heart when he saw the other party for the first time.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I have been looking for you."
Looking at Kakuzu in front of him, Mu Qingzhi narrowed his eyes slightly.
"I know you, a rebel ninja from Longyin Village, a contemporary of the Ninja God Senju Hashirama, and once attempted to assassinate him. After the assassination failed, he betrayed the village and survived to this day by relying on the secret treasures and secret techniques he took from Longyin Village. He has five hearts in his body and can..."
"Who are you!?"
Before Mu Qingzhi finished his words, he was suddenly interrupted by Kakuzu. At this time, the other party's words were no longer the previous Hirai Muha, but with a trace of shock and anger that was difficult to conceal.
After decades of roaming the ninja world, those who once knew him had long been buried in the loess with the passage of time. Even the once invincible Ninja God, now only a bowl of loess was left. He was the final winner.
But now, a mysterious girl with flaming hair and scorching eyes stood in front of him and disclosed his past in a relaxed tone. In front of this mysterious girl, his past and everything seemed to be transparent.
Even he couldn't help but feel a sense of inexplicable fear and nine points of anger in his heart at this moment. If he was not a little afraid of the strength of the girl in front of him, he would not have been talking nonsense with the other party here, but would have directly chosen to take down or kill the other party.
"I have already said that it doesn't matter who I am."
Glancing at the cloak on the other party, with one hand behind his back, Mu Qingzhi looked calm.
"I came to you this time to invite you to join my organization. What do you think?"
She was a little worried that the other party had been pulled over by Xiao, but when she saw that the other party was not wearing Xiao's black-bottomed red cloud robe, her heart was immediately stabilized.
The most important thing for an organization to grow and develop is talent.
Kakuzu is not only able to make money, but also very good at fighting. He is the elite she is in urgent need of.
"... Recruit me?"
It seems that he did not expect to get such an answer. After a moment of daze, Kakuzu responded with a cold face.
"Sorry, I am not interested in joining other organizations. The only thing that interests me is money."
"That's perfect. After you join my organization, I promise you can make more money."
Raising a finger in front of him, Mu Qingzhi looked solemn.
"I can guarantee that by then, the money you earn will be dozens or even hundreds of times more than what you earn now."
"Making money is just my interest, not my goal."
Still with a cold face, Kakuzu had a blank expression on his face.
"My attitude is very clear. I have no intention of joining any organization. You should find someone else."
"It's okay. Don't worry. One day you will change your mind. You can still come to me then."
Waving his hand, Mu Qingzhi took out a scroll that had been prepared long ago from his pocket and threw it over.
"If you ever encounter an enemy you cannot defeat, this scroll may save your life. When that happens, come find me at the Kankinso. I come here at a fixed time every month."
Since Kakuzu has not been recruited by Akatsuki, there is a possibility that he will be recruited by her. If she remembers correctly, Kakuzu seemed to have joined Akatsuki by force after being defeated by Pain. I believe that with the different comparison between the two sides, the other party should make a wise choice.
...Anyway, she will not lose out.
Looking at the scroll in her hand, Kakuzu was silent for a moment.
While he was silent, the girl in front of him waved her hand towards him and turned around without any defense.
Looking at the girl's back, Kakuzu suddenly felt a little moved.
It was a taboo for a ninja to have so much information about him known. If he could take down or kill the opponent when he was not prepared, he would save...
"!!!"
Just when Kakuzu had the intention to kill, an unprecedented premonition of death suddenly surged into his heart. In that moment, Kakuzu felt that he was surrounded by terrifying murderous intent.
This premonition of death was so strong that he almost suffocated. At the critical moment of life and death, his eyes instantly became sharp, his body tensed, and the muscles of his whole body seemed to be tense to the extreme at this moment, ready to meet the upcoming fatal blow at any time.
He had experienced countless life-and-death battles in his life, but he had never had such a strong sense of crisis... It seemed that the whole world was against him at this moment.
However, what surprised him was that the surroundings were silent, with only the rustling sound of the night wind passing through the treetops and the occasional roar of wild beasts in the distance.
——Everything he had experienced before seemed to be just a dream.
"Illusion... When?"
Looking down at his hands, Kakuzu murmured in a low voice.
"Illusion? No, it's just a kind of pressure from the spiritual level. It has no combat power and is purely used to scare people."
As if answering his question, the girl's voice came from the front, with a faint smile in it.
"Forget it this time. Next time we meet, I hope Mr. Kakuzu will not do such extreme behavior again, otherwise I can't guarantee the consequences for you."
As the girl's figure disappeared into the jungle, her last words gradually disappeared in the evening breeze.
"...Then, see you next time."
