Chapter 219 Are You Worthy of the Boss?

The appearance of the magic lantern body stopped the battle that was about to break out.

"leader?"

"Boss?"

Looking at the colorful lantern body that suddenly appeared next to them, Kakuzu and Hidan were surprised and surprised.

Although it is unclear why Payne took the initiative to project over, it is definitely a good thing for them at the moment, at least they can ask for help.

Compared to Kakuzu, Hidan, who could definitely hold on until reinforcements arrived, couldn't wait to shout loudly:

"Boss! Someone is robbing the Five-Tails Jinchuuriki, come and help?"

Halfway through his words, Hidan suddenly realized something was wrong.

He widened his eyes and looked hard at the magic lantern that appeared beside him.

This look and this outfit don't look like his boss, Payne!

On the other hand, Uchiha Izumi and Uchiha Zou stood on the side and saluted respectfully:

"Hagoromo-sama!"

"Hey? What Hagoromo-sama? Shouldn't the magic lantern body be the boss's technique? Where's the boss who is as old as me?" Hidan said angrily, his mood suddenly falling from heaven to hell.

Through the Zero Ring that he took off from Pain, Hagoromo Genzuki came through the projection. At this time, he looked at Hidan and said with some interest:

"The immortal body of the Evil God Cult is quite valuable for anatomical research."

Hidan was stunned by Hagoromo Genzuki's scientist-like gaze, and said in a panic:

"Hey! Listen to what you say, do you have any moral sense? You can't be too perverted!"

"Where's the boss? I miss the wise and powerful boss very much now. Where has he gone?"

"He is dead." Yuyi Xuanyue replied calmly.

Hidan: ".Good-for-nothing boss! He was killed by someone, what use are you for!"

the other side.

Kakuzu had already guessed the outcome when he realized that the lantern that appeared next to him was not the familiar Pain.

Then, when he saw the face behind the slide, long-standing memories quickly came to mind.

"Hagoromo Xuan Yue!"

The figure who had been far away appeared in front of him again.

Sadly, nothing has changed.

The gap that was once out of reach is still there, or even wider.

"I heard that you have also lived from the Warring States Period to the present, and even had a fight with Senju Hashirama. Did you see me back then?" Hagoromo Genzuki looked at Kakuzu with indifferent eyes.

Kakuzu took a deep breath: "I only had a glimpse of it from a distance back then. As for Senju Hashirama, it was because of his mercy that I was lucky enough to survive."

In front of others, Kakuzu might exaggerate and say that he escaped unharmed after a battle with Senju Hashirama.

But the person standing in front of him at this moment was a man who was as famous as Senju Hashirama during the Warring States Period and knew the details of the Warring States Period very well. If he said that again, he would be humiliating himself.

"Still somewhat self-aware." Yuyi Xuanyue said lightly.

Times have changed, and sometimes things that seemed ridiculous to people of the previous era are very normal in the eyes of people of the next era, and even define them as justice.

Just like Qingming, during the Warring States Period, he was just a craftsman. After leaving a last word in a self-proclaimed way, future generations took it seriously, believing that the resurrected Qingming could conquer the ninja world.

Kakuzu just said to outsiders, "Escape from Senju Hashirama unharmed", which was enough.

After all, the person involved is no longer alive, and few people from the Warring States Period have survived. He can definitely say that he is tied with Senju Hashirama.

Even a hundred years later, after all the insiders had died, he further said that he had defeated Senju Hashirama.

History is like a little girl who can be dressed up by others. The longer people live, the more they have the right to speak.

Hagororomo Gengetsu glanced at Kakuzu, who still had one life left, and the Five-Tailed Jinchuuriki named Han, who was in the opponent's hands, and basically understood the current situation.

He didn't talk about anything else, and directly gave the choice: "Penn is dead, and I will take over the Akatsuki organization now. Surrender, or die."

Hearing this, Kakuzu put down the Five-Tails Jinchuuriki in his hand and said calmly: "I choose to surrender."

The members of the Akatsuki organization are all S-class rebellious ninjas from major ninja villages. In terms of loyalty to the leader Pain, even Pain himself has never imagined it, let alone them.

It was Pain who took the initiative back then, and Kakuzu, who was beaten very embarrassed, chose to join the Akatsuki organization.

In this case, it is only reasonable for Payne to be replaced by someone with stronger strength.

Especially now, it is Genzuki Hagoromo who has replaced Pain as the new leader of the Akatsuki organization.

As a contemporary, Kakuzu is very aware of how dazzling the other party once was.

He didn't have any complaints about becoming the other party's subordinate, as long as he could continue to make money.

Kakuzu decisively joined Hagoromo Genzuki's camp.

Opposite, Hidan, who was paying attention here, said sadly: "Kakuzu! It's in vain that the boss trusts you so much! I thought you were reliable with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but I didn't expect that you turned around and turned to someone else. Are you worthy of the boss?"

"I'm sorry." Kakuzu nodded solemnly.

Before joining the Akatsuki organization, every penny he earned belonged to himself.

After joining the Akatsuki organization, he had to hand over part of it.

For him who is obsessed with money, he thinks he is worthy of Payne.

Hidan didn't expect that even after Kakuzu surrendered, he still looked magnanimous.

What else did he want to say.

On the side, another magic lantern body of Hagoromo Xuanyue said: "From your tone, are you ready to be loyal to Payne?"

"Me? Hahaha!!"

After Hidan laughed three times, his face suddenly straightened.

"Of course. No! Dear new boss, I just didn't expect this guy Kakuzu to surrender in front of me. Although it's a step slow, dear new boss, don't worry, I will definitely be more loyal to you, boss, than that trash in the past. The boss is much taller!"

Similar to Kakuzu, Hidan's stance is very flexible, after all, he doesn't live the same life as anyone else.

What's more, his head and body are now in the hands of others. Although he will not die, it is still uncomfortable to have his head hanging like this.

So, after Hidan finished expressing his stance, he couldn't wait to look up and said to Uchiha Izumi:

"That vicious... ahem, that beautiful woman~~~ We are all in a group now, so don't hang my head on me anymore. Let me return to my original self as soon as possible."

Uchiha Izumi listened expressionlessly and looked at Hagoromo Genzuki, waiting for the other party's instructions.

Hagoromo Gengetsu glanced at Hidan: "Since you have joined, you must have a spirit of self-dedication. Hidan, your next task is to cooperate with the organization and conduct scientific research."

After saying that, without looking at Hidan whose expression changed drastically, Hagoromo Genzuki ordered to Uchiha Izumi: "Just hang it like this, so as not to have to dismember it after you go back."

"Yes!" Uchiha Izumi nodded.

"Wait." Hidan reluctantly wanted to say something else.

Uchiha Izumi took out two more scrolls and stuffed them into Hidan's mouth.

The world is quiet, things are calm, and the mission is successfully completed.

Yuyi Xuanyue's magic lantern body dispersed.

Now, there are only two final places left.
