Chapter 181 Kakuzu: I Am Old, but I Am Not Blind

The next morning after Naruto returned to the village, he found a pirated copy of Akatsuki in the attic and put it on his body, ready to join the most righteous Akatsuki in the ninja world.

Because Sasuke had to follow others to clean up the streets of Konoha, he could only embark on the journey of looking for Akatsuki members alone...

"Who is impersonating my name?!"

Kakuzu looked at the corpses on the ground and fell into deep thought.

One day two years ago, Kakuzu came to the underground gold exchange as usual, and then he saw that his head was rewarded...

Five hundred and forty million taels! !

At one time, it exceeded the tailed beast Jinchuriki of several villages, and Sarutobi Asuma who was always on the list.

And it was the top of the bounty list! !

Kakuzu, who fell into the money eye, wanted to exchange his head for money at the first thought.

Finally, he thought that he could have five hearts, but he could not exchange his head, so he gave up this idea.

Then the question came...

Why is his head so valuable?

Before Kakuzu could figure out the problem, he was chased 37 times that day, including by ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village, the Hidden Rock Village, the Hidden Sand Village, and the Hidden Cloud Village.

Even the ninjas from the Hidden Leaf Village took action.

Later, after the battle in the Land of Grass, the ninjas from several major ninja villages stopped chasing him.

No one knew why.

However, Kakuzu did figure out that he was so valuable because a thief pretended to be him and robbed a lot of money under his name.

Damn!

Not only did I take the blame for no reason, but I didn't get a penny! !

Kakuzu felt that his five hearts were about to have a myocardial infarction.

"Damn it!"

"Don't let me catch you, kid!"

"Otherwise you'll be in trouble!"

Kakuzu now felt that only the task of exchanging gold could make him happy.

Thinking of the task given by the leader to collect information about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, he took out a photo of a yellow-haired man, carefully memorized the yellow-haired man in his mind, and walked towards the gold exchange.

It seems that the bounty of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is second only to his own...

Why not take this opportunity to exchange the yellow-haired man's head for money.

When Kakuzu's mind was full of the yellow-haired figure, Uzumaki Naruto was already standing in the underground gold exchange, looking at the bounty list with interest.

Kakuzu, bounty 540 million taels.

Uzumaki Naruto, bounty 200 million taels.

Uchiha Sasuke, bounty 190 million taels.

Hatake Kakashi, bounty 150 million taels.

Naruto was not surprised that he, Sasuke, and Kakashi were on the list. After all, when they were on a mission, there were always people who envied their talents.

It was reasonable to be bountied.

As for the reason why Kakuzu was at the top of the list, Naruto guessed that this mission was most likely a bounty offered by several casino owners at the time.

That was nothing.

What Naruto found interesting was that among the bounties offered by their team 7, Sakura-ge had the lowest bounty.

It was only 200 taels.

It was not even enough to eat 4 bowls of ramen.

It can be said that this bounty mission of Brother Sakura is not difficult, but it is extremely insulting.

And in the description of Brother Sakura's bounty mission, there is such a sentence...

Haruno Sakura is suspected to be a peripheral member of the most evil Scientific Truth Society in the current ninja world...

Isn't this looking down on Brother Sakura! ?

No matter what, he is also the former leader of the Scientific Truth Society!

And seeing this mission nailed in the corner and covered with dust, you know that no one paid attention to this mission that is less than four bowls of ramen.

But Naruto still took this single-person mission for the personal safety of his teammates, and let Brother Sakura take a look when he went back.

Don't shout about catching up with yourself and Sasuke all day long. Brother Sakura, the bounty of 200 taels is not even a fraction of ours.

"Little ghost, let go."

Just as Naruto accepted the bounty, a full-bodied voice suddenly rang in his ears.

He didn't even turn around, and he caught a glimpse of the familiar red cloud and black robe in his peripheral vision.

It's Kakuzu! !

I didn't expect that I would find the organization the first time I came to try my luck!

So lucky!

Kakuzu also noticed this yellow-haired kid. The two looked at each other, and the world seemed to be quiet at this moment.

So lucky!

I actually met the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki Uzumaki Naruto!

Kakuzu narrowed his eyes slightly, and the hands hanging beside his legs flicked. He was ready to take the yellow-haired head at any time.

Then, an accident happened...

"Hello, senior!"

"Please let me join your organization!"

"I am Kurosaki Ichigo, a ninja from the Hidden Grass Village who has been training for two and a half years!"

Kakuzu: ? ? ?

Hearing the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki randomly say a name, Kakuzu was silent for a moment, and even put down the idea of ​​​​taking action.

But seeing the boy's serious and fanatical attitude, Kakuzu once doubted whether he really recognized the wrong person.

He even touched the photo of the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki from his arms, looked down, and looked up at the boy again.

In the photo, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is still about 13 years old, but it is not difficult to see that the boy who calls himself Kurosaki Ichigo is 100% the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Naruto!

What is this kid doing?

Is he teasing me?

And aren't all the ninjas in the Hidden Grass Village dead?

Kakuzu is now very disgusted with this kind of impersonation.

He looked at the boy coldly, and the murderous intent in his heart gradually rose.

"Are you sure your name is Kurosaki Ichigo?"

"Yes! Senior!"

"Please let me protect the world with you!"

"I also want to be a great hero who saves the world!"

Kakuzu was silent again.

Great hero? Protect the world?

How come I don't know what Akatsuki is like?

Isn't the leader going to collect tailed beasts and attack the major ninja villages? ?

When he thought of the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki running to him and saying something like justice and great hero to join Akatsuki, Kakuzu suddenly felt that he, an old man, seemed to be unable to keep up with the thinking of young people nowadays.

Kakuzu opened his mouth and said nothing, but it seemed that he said everything.

"Uzumaki Naruto."

"Do you want to listen to what you are saying?"

"I am old, but I am not blind."

Finally, Mr. Kakuzu, who was speechless, put the photo in his hand in front of the kid. In order to prove the authenticity of what he said, he also pointed to the photo of the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki's bounty mission next to him.

Kakuzu said that he didn't buy it at all.

And he was sure of it.

This Uzumaki Naruto...has a problem with his brain.

When Naruto saw the photo in Kakuzu's hand, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

"Hehe."

"Just looking for you."

Seeing that the other party was standing there stupidly without any reaction, Kakuzu took out a kunai and was about to wipe it on Naruto's neck.

But just when the kunai was about to touch the skin on the yellow-haired neck and the yellow-haired head was about to move, Kakuzu stopped his action abruptly.

Naruto did not resist at all, and did not even move his feet.

But he had empty hands just now, but now he had a gold brick in his hands...

"Senior, can I join you?"
