Helping each other with countless me.

Chapter 93: Namikaze Minato's Second Message
"What's up, Kakuzu?"

Underground black market, a base somewhere.

The boss of this place said to Kakuzu.

"Slices of raw beef liver and a glass of milk."

"By the way, how have you been lately?"

"pretty good."

Kakuzu sat at one side of the bar and waited for a while. Soon a female ninja came over with a plate of fresh raw beef liver slices and a cup of steaming milk.

"Mr. Kakuzu, please enjoy your meal."

"Thank you."

Kakuzu nodded to the female ninja, then pulled down his mask, revealing a face that seemed to be made up of several pieces of skin stitched together, more like a prop from a horror movie than a living person. Then, he opened his mouth, picked up a piece of beef liver that was still dripping with blood, stuffed it into his mouth, and began chewing.

If you look closely, you can even see traces of blood seeping out from the sutured wound on his face.
"It tastes good. Let's get back to business. You asked me to come here for a commission, right?"

"this person."

The boss of this black market showed a photo, which showed the appearance of the Hehuobei Knife.

"He offended someone he shouldn't have offended, and someone offered five million taels for his head."

"Five million taels."

Kakuzu nodded slightly. This was equivalent to about two and a half S-level tasks. He was interested in taking the job at this price.

"However, the bad news is that he is at the front-line logistics base of Sunagakure. It is a steel town guarded by the Third Kazekage. Even the Salamander Hanzo dare not cause trouble."

"But the good news is that we got intelligence that Sunagakure seems to have discovered a vein of chakra ore in the Land of Rain. He secretly left the town and went to that vein. It took at least two days to go back and forth."

"So, are you free these two days?"

"Yes, I am free."

Kakuzu picked up the cup, drank the milk in one gulp, slowly slid the photo and the information underneath it across the bar, and finally put it into his pocket.

Pattering.
It started raining again.

At this moment, Kakuzu had already rushed to the steel town at his fastest speed.

In the heavy rain, his brown-green eyes quietly observed the town.

As expected of a town built for war, it is dotted with all kinds of outposts, both overt and covert.

Unfortunately, under the perception of his own Earth Resentment, he had no way to escape.

"He Huo Bei Dao, a Genin from the Sand Village, whose strength can be ignored, but he has strong mechanical puppetry skills and is valued by the Third Kazekage. However, he insulted Chiyo, one of the two pillars of the Sand Village, in public, so he may have been hired by someone with a grudge against him to kill him."

After recalling the content of the mission in his mind, Jiao relied on the perception of the Earth Resentment and sneaked into the town quietly under the cover of darkness and heavy rain. He came to the place where the target lived according to the recorded address.

However, he did not go in immediately, because the information clearly stated that why a Genin with negligible strength was worth 5 million taels was because there was a ninja who was guarding him almost 24 hours a day by the side of He Huo Bei Dao.

A special jonin, Pakura Yegura, the owner of an extremely rare bloodline limit and Scorch Release.

Although this is a young man of only sixteen years old, Jiao did not underestimate him. The reason was very simple. The opponent's Burning Escape could naturally restrain his Earth Resentment. Basically, as long as the field of Burning Escape was expanded, his Earth Resentment would be burned to ashes in an instant.

As for continuing to sneak in, it is even more impossible.

Because according to his perception, the owner of Scorch Release was right below the target person. Although his Earth Resentment Perception was strong, his concealment was average and his movement speed was slow. It was difficult for him to deceive the perception of a senior ninja.

After a moment's hesitation, Kakuzu slowly took off part of his shirt, revealing his back which was also covered with sutures and five masks. After a while of wriggling, one of the masks slowly came out and dived into the darkness.
And he slowly moved towards the direction of Ye Cang Pakura, the owner of the Scorch Release.
"Secret Technique·Earth Resentment."

Almost reaching the limit of a jonin's alert, Kakuzu gently put one hand on the ground, and along the seams on his arm, a dense mass of hair that looked like hair and seemed to have life drilled into the ground and approached Ye Cang's direction.
However, at the moment when his Earth Grudge penetrated the wall of the room, a thing like a fireball hit the ground and instantly spread to the surroundings. Plants, mud, water, houses, and even his Earth Grudge were all turned into ashes in an instant.
"Scorch Escape: Evaporation!"

Then, Ye Cang shouted loudly, and several spheres penetrated the window and flew in the direction of the angle.

"Water Escape·Water Curtain!"

Kakuzu, who had been well prepared, had already adjusted the mask on his chest. He opened his mouth and spit out several huge water balls in succession. The water balls collided with the fire balls, and a large amount of steam instantly filled the air, instantly reducing visibility to an invisible level.

Taking this opportunity, Kakuzu formed a seal again, and the mask on the other side of his chest opened its mouth again.

"Wind Escape·Press!"

A long air cannon shot straight ahead with tremendous power. If this cannon hit, the power would be so great that even the house would disappear.

"Scorch Release: Evaporation Wall!" However, a flame-colored wall rose from the ground, blocking the ninjutsu. When this unrivaled ninjutsu hit the wall, it was like a drop in the ocean, and was also evaporated.
However, as the mist dissipated, Kakuzu revealed a smile. Scorch Release was indeed a rare bloodline limit. As long as there was moisture in the air, it seemed that everything could be evaporated. Unfortunately, she was too young after all, and this ninjutsu forced her to stand here.

And this was just the chance he asked for, a chance to make a quick decision.

After all, he is currently in the military base of the Sand Ninja Village. No matter how arrogant he is, he dare not get involved in a war of attrition here. He is just immortal, not immortal.

"Earth Release·Earth Spear!"

The moment Ye Cang was unable to move, the clone of Di Yuanyu, who had been hiding in the dark, suddenly shrank. All the black threads like hair were entangled together, making the clone look like a stretched rubber man. With a whoosh, it penetrated the house and shot straight towards the target person.

In fact, if he used Fire Style: Head Burning, he could burn the whole house in an instant, but in that case, he would have no money to take, so he could only use his clone to cut off the target person's head. However, as mentioned before, a Genin would die in an instant when facing his clone.
"Pfft!"

The black arm pierced the heart.

But from Kakuzu's perspective, it was not the target, but his wife who blocked the attack for him.
"Keiko!!!"

"it's useless."

Kakuzu's clone looked at all this with indifference, and with a flick of his hand, the woman's body was thrown aside and hit heavily against the wall.
"Mitsuha, your Wood Release Clone Technique is so powerful that it can even fool a big bounty hunter like Kakuzu."

The voice of Minato Namikaze sounded in Li Zhongren's earphone. This was one of the plans of the two. He knew that the other party would definitely send someone to assassinate him, but no matter who it was and no matter how the assassination was carried out, someone would die. Naturally, he could just let the fake pharmacist Nono take his place.

Of course, if it was before today, it would definitely be useless. After all, the wooden clone only looks and feels realistic. Once it is cut and pierced, you will still find that there is wood inside. Don't forget that today's Mitsuha Takanashi is a puppeteer. So, he transformed his wooden clone into a puppet that is very close to the human body, and even asked Li Haize for a ball of "telekinesis" and stuffed it in.

In this way, even if the other party is a perception ninja, it is impossible for him to distinguish whether this is a real person or a clone in a short time!
"Okay, now follow the plan, three, two, one, ready to beat me up?"

Li Zhongren and Namikaze Minato couldn't help but look at Ye Cang downstairs.

"Ha, Sanye, are you being upstaged?"

"what!!!!"

Suddenly, a roar resounded throughout the town.

On the first floor, Ye Cang, who was struggling to hold on, had his hair suddenly turn completely orange-red, and the runaway chakra even made every strand of his hair stand up!
"what!!"

In this state, she didn't even form a seal. Her eyes swept across the clone on the second floor. Two red rays of light gushed out from her eyes and shot directly at the clone. The clone seemed to be drained of water in an instant and turned into dust.
"Click~~"

Without Di Yuanyu, the remaining mask fell to the ground and broke into two pieces.

"Damn!!"

Kakuzu endured the pain of his broken heart, but his strong man's intuition made him not care about so many things. The three masks instantly moved to one of his arms, a large amount of chakra gathered, and then a huge beam of light composed of the three chakras of wind, fire and lightning shot directly towards Li Zhongren!

Yes, as a bounty hunter who had been rampant for many years, Kakuzu made what he thought was the most correct choice at that moment.

After the opponent's bloodline limit went out of control, it put a great pressure on him. It was obvious that no matter whether the opponent had overdrawn his life or for some other reason, the short answer was that at this moment this female ninja could really hurt him, especially the unmarked ninjutsu shot out from her eyes, which was fast and powerful. It was the first time he encountered this kind of ninjutsu, and he had not thought of any good solution for the time being.

So, instead of thinking about countermeasures here, it is better to take action in one step and target that man.

This is called attacking while the enemy must rescue!

as predicted!

At that moment, the woman flew directly to the target person. Wherever she passed, nothing seemed to be able to stop her, and everything was evaporated into ashes.
Then, she put her hands together, chakra gushing out from her body, blocking her own special move, Earth Wrath: Final Shot.
"laugh!!!!"

It was visible to the naked eye that the huge chakra ray cannon had been corroded by the burning escape technique, but everything around it, including the body of the woman who was thrown away, was turned into dust by this earth-shattering chakra cannon.
When the dust settles
Kakuzu had disappeared without a trace. If he didn't leave after consuming a lot of chakra, he might be able to kill the target person, but he would definitely die here.
Ye Cang has also returned to his normal state, half-kneeling on the ground, panting.
The rain from the sky fell again, extinguishing the flames.
"I'm sorry."

Ye Cang didn't dare to look back, but just said through gritted teeth.

Li Zhongren did not speak, but slowly stood up, letting the rain fall on his face and then slide down, not knowing whether it was mixed with tears.
After a long while, he took a deep breath, picked up the limp Ye Cang, glanced at the ruins in flames, and left the ruins that could collapse at any time.
Cold wind blows
Li Zhongren felt someone patting him lightly on the back.

Looking back, there is no trace left.
There was just a piece of paper wet by the rain on the ground.
Seeing this, he pressed his finger and Ye Cang fell into a complete sleep.

Then I came to the paper.
"This bastard is addicted to writing poetry."

Looking at the contents on the paper, he couldn't help but spat.

"Mitsuha, Nono and I are leaving."

"Thank you for your help."

"At the moment of parting, I couldn't help but feel poetic and left another half-line poem"

"How can there be a way to have the best of both worlds?"

"How can I not betray my wife back home, and not disappoint the girl in my arms?"

　The third watch is over, I am having a short sleep, I am about to die suddenly
