Chapter 280 Xiaonan: Is It that Simple?

"Kakuzu?"

Master Yuan frowned slightly.

"The traitorous ninja who defected to Takigakure Village and killed the senior officials of Takigakure Village?"

"The Church of the Immortal Evil God in Tang Country?"

To be honest, Master Yuan doesn't like either of them very much.

The former is a rebellious ninja.

And the latter is something that almost everyone in the ninja world calls for beating.

Temples and churches are not popular in the ninja world.

Even the Temple of Fire and the Temple of Water are like this.

Only some people know about it and will go there.

Not to mention the Church of Evil God.

In Yuno Country, a country where ninja villages do not exist, there is almost no place for them to establish themselves.

If such a person joins Kirigakure Village, even if it can bring certain help to Kirigakure Village, it will also bring trouble to Kirigakure Village, and even the trouble will be even greater.

If other people said such things, Yuan Shili would not pay attention to them.

However, Osamu Uehara was different.

Genshi felt that there must be a reason why Uehara Shu raised this point.

"Xiu, is it a Zanpakutō?"

Osamu Uehara nodded.

Master Yuan thought for a while.

"No problem, I'll make arrangements now."

With Master Yuan's promise, Osamu Uehara returned to the forging island.

Take out the blueprint of Immortal Slash.

"A blank hexagram means a thug."

Under normal circumstances, Uehara Shu would choose Da Tian, ​​plus himself.

However, the situation of Sekiro made Osamu Uehara not so "confident".

"There are too many weird things in there and too many abilities."

"Perhaps letting the Third Mizukage take action would be a safer choice."

"In terms of strength, the Immortal Sword is inferior to many of the ninja swords I have made before."

"But restraining the art of reincarnation from the dirty soil is particularly important for the current Kirigakure Village."

"Mizukage-sama."

The figure of the third Mizukage appeared.

"build."

"Mizukage-sama, it's like this..."

Osamu Uehara briefly introduced the current situation on the battlefield.

Then he said.

"The materials entrusted to me by the blacksmith's channeling holy land this time are likely to be able to restrain the art of reincarnation in the dirty soil to a certain extent, so Mizukage-sama, please come with me."

“This way, we can better guarantee that the commission will be completed and the materials will be obtained.”

The Third Mizukage hesitated.

From the perspective of the Third Mizukage, he is the last trump card in the current Kirigakure Village.

Once the Cloud and Mist Alliance were defeated, Konoha's ninjas reached the gate of Kirigakure Village.

At that time, the Third Mizukage will definitely take action.

It didn't matter whether he would reveal anything to Uchiha Obito.

The survival of Kirigakure Village is at stake, and it doesn't matter what conspiracy the Akatsuki organization has.

Therefore, the Third Mizukage wanted to grasp his trump card.

However, if you can really create a ninja tool that can restrain the art of reincarnation, that is also a very valuable thing.

"Xiu, how long do you think they can hold on?"

"Mizukage-sama, I don't think the situation is bad enough for Konoha ninjas to invade Kirigakure Village, and before you are exposed, Mizukage-sama, I think the Bamboo Neko can be exposed first."

"Bamboo Cat..."

For the Third Mizukage, this is a somewhat distant name.

When the conflict between the Taketori clan and the Kirigakure village could not be reconciled, he stood on the side of the Kirigakure village.

Take the initiative to attack the people of the Taketori clan.

One person bears the sin of annihilating the Taketori clan.

Become a traitor.

But now, the Third Mizukage couldn't guarantee it.

People change over time.

People are very easy to change.

The Third Mizukage didn't know what Taketori Neko was thinking now, or what importance the village placed in Taketori Neko's mind, so the Third Mizukage was not at ease with Taketori Neko.

"Xiu, Taketori Neko has left the village for too long..."

However, the Third Mizukage didn't say anything.

"Xiu, do you think Taketori Neko is trustworthy now?"

"Lord Huishui Kage, I think it's okay."

Shu Uehara said: "No matter what, the Taketori clan has not disappeared, the Kaguya clan is still there."

"Furthermore, Mizukage-sama and the Akatsuki organization, they will definitely find a way to prevent the Konoha family from becoming dominant."

"Coupled with the efforts of everyone on the front line."

"All things considered, even if Konoha can invade the Kingdom of Water, it will definitely not be something that can be accomplished in a short time."

"At that time, Mizukage-sama, your soul power should be almost restored."

The Third Mizukage was convinced.

"Okay, then let's do as Xiu said. When will we start?"

"Lord Mizukage, let's do it now. After all, in this matter, the sooner the better."

"Can."

The figure of the third Mizukage returned to the Skeleton Emperor.

Osamu Uehara took out the drawings and had an idea.

"Enter the dimensional material copy!"

Immediately, Uehara Shu's figure and the Skeleton Emperor all disappeared.

…

…

A Kirigakure ninja came to Kakuzu.

"From Kirigakure Village?"

Kakuzu raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Isn't your Kirigakure village currently at war? If you don't go to the battlefield, why are you here with me?"

"Is it possible that you want to hire me to fight for your Kirigakure Village?"

"No way, absolutely impossible."

“Even if you add more money, it’s useless.”

"No matter how much I like money, I won't do something like this that I know will lead to death."

The words that the Kirigakure ninja had reached his mouth, but before they came out, Kakuzu had already slapped him back.

"Okay, Mr. Kakuzu, I understand. Excuse me."

After saying that, the Kirigakure ninja turned and left.

Kakuzu looked at the back of the Kirigakure ninja, suddenly feeling a little reluctant.

"The Kirigakure Village really plans to hire me to fight for them and Konoha?"

"I don't know what kind of price they can offer."

"I quite want to know."

However, come to think of it, Kakuzu is unlikely to agree.

Fighting for the village?

After leaving Takigakure Village that year, Kakuzu never had such thoughts.

The concept of a village was already disappointing in Kakuzu's heart.

A figure appeared next to Kakuzu.

"Kid, the situation in your Kirigakure Village is worrying. Why don't you go back and check the situation and help?"

Gui Deng Man Yue shook her head with an indifferent expression.

"That's Kirigakure Village's business, not mine."

"I am no longer from Kirigakure Village."

In her heart, Gui Deng Man Yue was worried about the situation in Kirigakure Village.

Kakuzu's eyes moved.

"You're so heartless, kid."

As he said that, Kakuzu's expression suddenly changed.

After seeing the person clearly, Kakuzu's expression became a little subtle.

"I, am I so popular? I just rejected a solicitor, and now another one comes?"

Kakuzu looked at Konan who was approaching, sitting on the chair with no intention of getting up.

Konan looked at Kakuzu, his eyes flicked over the body of Oni Deng Mangyue for a moment, and soon returned to Kakuzu.

"Kakuzu, you have seen the current situation in the ninja world. Whether it is for the ninja world or for yourself, joining our Akatsuki organization is an excellent choice."

Kakuzu sighed.

"I didn't expect you still didn't understand."

Konan frowned.

"What don't you understand?"

"I don't care what this ninja world, this world becomes, has nothing to do with me. I am an existence that doesn't even have a ninja village, and other ninja villages have nothing to do with me."

Kakuzu said: "Ninjas are nothing more than guys who sell their strength in order to survive."

"There is no essential difference from other professions."

"Those who add many definitions to the profession of ninja, such as loyalty, magnanimity, and justice, in my opinion, are all bullshit."

"And I, I don't care either."

"I've lived for many, many years."

"I've seen all kinds of people."

"I've experienced all kinds of things."

"What is this war now?"

"Back then, the battle between Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara was the real destruction of the world."

"The First Ninja War, the Second Ninja War, and now the Third Ninja War."

"War will destroy only people."

"I don't care what your Xiao organization wants to do."

"The only thing I care about is money."

"If you want me to join, you can, no problem."

"You have to pay more."

Xiaonan showed a surprised expression.

Before, Xiaonan thought about many possibilities for Kakudu's rejection, and then made different responses.

Analyze the situation in the ninja world.

Promise Kakuto's future.

Convince Kakuzu with the great cause of saving the ninja world.

However, none of them succeeded.

Xiaonan couldn't help but want to use force.

Just like facing the Red Sand Scorpion before.

To deal with such a genius, you have to conquer him in order to gain recognition.

But the corners are different.

This is a man with rich experience, great age, and complicated mind.

Moreover, Kakuzu is not just a person.

Kakuzu has an inextricable relationship with the wandering ninjas of Kawa no Kuni.

This is a force.

Therefore, Xiaonan is the one who knows how to do it. He visits her many times and tries to persuade her.

After many failures, Xiaonan thought that the corner was just a stiff piece of rotten stone, with no possibility of success.

But Xiaonan didn't expect that the real answer was so simple.

"Just add money?"

"That's right."

"It's that simple."

Joining the Akatsuki organization is not the same as joining Kirigakure Village.

On the one hand, the concept of a ninja village disgusts Kakuzu.

Physical disgust.

What happened in Takigakure back then has made Kakuzu still brood to this day.

Secondly, the Akatsuki Organization is a small organization.

The slogan is loud, but from Kakuzu's point of view, there is no essential difference from other wandering ninja organizations.

However, it can afford a higher price than other wandering ninja organizations.

"Can."

Xiaonan agreed.

Immediately, his eyes turned to the ghost lamp full moon next to him.

"Who is this?"

"The ghost lantern full moon."

Xiao Nan nodded.

Regarding the ghost lamp clan, Xiaonan has two channels for information.

A piece of news announced by the Kirigakure Village itself.

The other one was provided by Uchiha Obito.

Both channels stated that the Ghost Lantern clan had been exterminated.

Ghost Lantern Full Moon is one of the few survivors.

There must be hatred for Kirigakure Village.

Such talents are exactly what Xiao organization needs.

It's just that he is too young and not strong enough.

However, Xiaonan felt that it would be easier to convince Mangetsu Kizuki to truly agree with the philosophy of Akatsuki than to convince Kakuzu.

Now Kakuzu has indeed joined Akatsuki.

Xiaonan felt that it would take a very long time for Kakuzu to truly agree with the philosophy of Akatsuki and serve the goals of Akatsuki from the beginning.

Retracting his gaze, Xiaonan threw a ring to Kakuzu.

"This is a token of Akatsuki."

"Kakuzu, from today on, you are a member of our Akatsuki. Under normal circumstances, we will not have too many requirements, but when there is an organized action, you must put down everything else at hand."

Kakuzu caught it.

"Okay."

After Xiaonan left, Mangetsu Kizuki looked at Kakuzu and asked.

"Senior Kakuzu, if you did not accept the invitation of the Hidden Mist Village, why did you accept the invitation of Akatsuki?"

Kakuzu said lightly.

"An organization that claims to be led by Uchiha Madara wants to save the ninja world? Eliminate all wars and make the ninja world absolutely peaceful forever? I don't believe it."

"Uchiha Madara is already dead."

"Even if he's not dead, I've seen that guy."

"It's not his character to have people come to his door again and again for a helper like me."

"There are no such people in this era."

"One person can suppress a ninja village."

"If it's really Uchiha Madara, Akatsuki can't be just this level."

Manzuki's eyes flickered.

"So, Kakuzu-senpai, you think Akatsuki's plan will never succeed, and you don't want to do your best for this organization, you just want to take their money?"

"That's about right."

"What if they are real?"

"Really?"

Kakuzu was silent for a while.

"Really, let's talk about it when the time comes."

Kakuzu recalled his past experiences again.

A long time ago, Kakuzu was a pure ninja.

For the sake of Takigakure, he can give everything.

Even if the top leaders of Takigakure gave Kakuzu an impossible task.

But Kakuzu still tried.

But what Kakuzu didn't expect was that after his failure, he would face such a result.

Kakuzu was disappointed with Takigakure.

And now, Kakuzu has no good feelings towards all ninja villages.

"However, if the ninja village disappears, it may be a good thing for this world."

"But, I don't need such a world anymore."

"Now I can't be considered a normal human being."

Kakuzu, who used the Earth Grudge Technique, gained the ability to live forever.

However, he needs to constantly replace his heart.

Relying on the heart to provide fresh vitality.
