Naruto: A parody of the entire ninja world, the opening scene infuriates the Kage.

Chapter 40 Kakuzu: Misappropriation of public funds is not allowed.
"Boom~"

A powerful burst of chakra erupted from Kakuzu's body.

At this moment, Kakuzu was filled with rage.

After joining the Akatsuki organization, Kakuzu worked hard to raise funds for the organization, but Konan secretly embezzled public funds to buy explosive tags.
Suddenly, Kakuzu remembered that 'Kakuzu's Tears' had appeared on the screen before, so, is that what it means?
However, he had no tears now, only rage.

He was a powerful ninja who once attempted to assassinate the First Hokage! Although he failed, he still managed to escape unscathed from the face of the God of Shinobi.

He could live forever by virtue of the Earthly Grudge, and the greatest meaning of his life was money.

Managing the Akatsuki's finances was his pleasure, but the fact that there was a 'parasite' within the organization was something he couldn't tolerate.

However, Konan has a close relationship with the leader.

snort!
The leader has to give him an explanation, otherwise, even if he can't beat the leader who has the Rinnegan, he can still find an opportunity to assassinate Konan.

At that moment, he felt a pulling force coming from the ring on his left middle finger, and the 'North' symbol on the ring glowed faintly.

Using the ring as a medium, he can contact 'Zero' (Pain's Heavenly Path), but he cannot contact other codenamed members.

Payne, on the other hand, was able to contact all the codenamed members of the organization.

After looking around to make sure it was safe, Kakuzu sat cross-legged on the ground.

Next, Kakuzu's chakra was transformed into 'thought waves'. Pain used the Rinnegan's ability to receive the 'thought waves' emitted by the organization's members, amplified the 'thought waves', and then manifested them in the form of illusions in specific locations.

The spacious cave was dark, with a single Zen lamp emitting light, and several humanoid phantoms appeared around the lamp.

Pain Tendou, wearing a ring (zero) on his right thumb.

Konan, who wears a white ring on the middle finger of her right hand, is also the only woman in the organization.

Orochimaru wearing a ring (empty) on his left little finger.

Sasori of the Red Sand wearing a ring (jade).

Then there's Kakuzu.

"Chief, don't you need to explain to me about your partner's embezzlement of public funds to buy explosive tags?" Kakuzu's tone was very impolite.

"The claim of 6000 billion explosive tags is nonsense. The organization currently has less than 1 explosive tags in reserve. What appears on the screen is far from reality," Payne said calmly.

"I just want to know if anyone has misappropriated the organization's funds?" Kakuzu pressed on with the question.

“When the organization raises funds, Xiao Nan uses a portion of those funds to purchase explosive tags, which is also to increase the organization’s explosive tag reserves. It’s not embezzlement,” Payne defended Xiao Nan.

"From now on, every income and expense of the organization must not bypass me. I will not allow any misappropriation of public funds, and no one is allowed to..." Kakuzu's attitude was very firm.

If Payne disagrees, Kakuzu will probably immediately break off relations.

Both Payne and Konan hesitated.

The Akatsuki organization is not what it used to be.

Now, the Akatsuki organization controls Amegakure and this country.

Therefore, the Akatsuki's finances are not insignificant.

Most importantly, Xiao Nan's embezzlement of public funds is not a recent development.

Payne always turned a blind eye.

At this moment, Xiao Nan cursed the light screen inwardly for meddling and exposing something for no reason.
Kakuzu's attitude is now very tough.

As for Orochimaru and Sasori, they were just watching the show.

"Okay, I promise you." After hesitating for a while, Payne finally agreed to Kakuzu's request.

Kakuzu is not only incredibly strong, but also quite adept at amassing wealth.

Losing Kakuzu would be detrimental to Akatsuki's development.

Xiao Nan didn't say anything, but she was very unhappy. Now that she couldn't embezzle public funds anymore, she felt uncomfortable.

Her paper-based explosive tag technique is not yet complete, and even if it were, she would still need some explosive tags.

For example, how do you copy explosive tags? You can't copy them without explosive tags. For instance, one explosive tag can be copied into tens of thousands of tags, so the more explosive tags you have, the better.

At this moment, Pain changed the subject and looked at Orochimaru.

"Orochimaru, there's a forbidden technique in Konoha called Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags, right?"

Orochimaru glanced at Konan, knowing that he was interested in Konan's mutual explosion tags.

The thought of 6000 billion explosive tags plus the technique of multiplying explosive tags is terrifying.

Orochimaru licked his lips with his long tongue, a playful smile on his face: "The Mutual Explosion Tags Technique is an A-rank ninjutsu developed by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju. It's listed as one of Konoha's forbidden techniques. This technique can explode infinitely, continuously summoning explosive tags, and once activated, it will cause a concentrated explosion..."

Konan was quite excited as she listened to what Orochimaru said.

She must learn the technique of multiplying explosive tags.

In addition, once the technique of using paper explosive tags is developed, we should collect as many explosive tags as possible.

6000 billion explosive tags? Hmph, she'll make even more.

However, it is still necessary to perfectly combine the Paper Release Explosive Talisman Technique, which is not yet fully available, with the Mutual Multiplication Explosive Talisman Technique.

The most urgent task is to obtain the technique of multiplying explosive tags.

Kakuzu and Sasori both watched coldly from the sidelines.

According to Orochimaru, the Mutual Explosion Tags technique is very powerful.

For someone who possesses a large number of explosive tags, the power of this ninjutsu is unimaginable.

However, since it is a forbidden technique of Konoha, it is certainly not easy to learn.

But Orochimaru is one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, and a disciple of the 'Strongest Hokage'.

Before becoming a rogue ninja, Orochimaru held a high position in Konoha. He was once a popular candidate for the Fourth Hokage, and even the Nagakatsukage supported him. However, the Third Hokage saw through Orochimaru's wicked intentions and thus supported Minato Namikaze instead.

Orochimaru must have mastered some of Konoha's forbidden techniques.

However, forbidden techniques are not something that can be learned casually.

Take the Flying Thunder God Technique for example. After Tobirama Senju, Minato Namikaze was not the only one who learned it, but only Minato mastered it and carried it forward.

Since Konan was interested in the technique of multiplying explosive tags, Pain decided to help her obtain it.

Whether Orochimaru learned the Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tags technique is not important; having the training method is enough.

"So, Orochimaru, do you have a method to master the Mutual Explosion Tags technique?" Pain asked.

"Not yet," Orochimaru replied with a smile.

"I'm giving you a task: obtain the training method for the Mutual Explosive Tags technique as soon as possible." Payne.

"no problem!"

Then, the colorful patterns on the phantoms became unstable, and one by one they went offline.

……

"Trading the Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tags Technique for 3000 billion explosive tags isn't unreasonable, is it?" Orochimaru chuckled.

Since Konan has 6000 billion explosive tags, it's very generous of Orochimaru to take half of them!
Of course, Xiao Nan certainly doesn't have 6000 billion detonating tags right now.

Orochimaru wasn't in a hurry.

The hundreds of billions of explosive tags attracted him, but the Rinnegan attracted him even more.

Yes, he coveted Pain's Rinnegan.

The eyes that only the Sage of Six Paths possessed! How many mysteries do they hold? It truly intrigued him.

However, the power of the Rinnegan is too great; he has witnessed it before, and it is something he cannot match now.

Since we lack the strength, we need to use our brains.
