Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 580 Takigakure's Traitor

Because Akatsuki changed its development trajectory, Yahiko and Konan no longer recruited ninjas who betrayed their village.

For the above reasons, Kakuzu is now wandering alone in the wild doing bounty missions.

The rest of the Akatsuki members were also busy with their own tasks. After all, the future members of the Akatsuki were still very young. Those who were planning to assassinate the Kazekage were planning their own plans, those who were working as experimental equipment were working as experimental equipment, those who were doing their duties honestly were doing their duties honestly, and those who were acting as young masters were acting as young masters.

Only Kakuzu had been carrying out bounty missions for decades without wavering. For Kakuzu, bounty missions were a way of life; he had lived for a long time. Now, the only thing he held onto was the pursuit of money.

As a rebel ninja from Takigakure, he was active in this area, so when the huge team passed through here, it naturally attracted Kakuzu's attention, and he kept moving around in these locations.

Among Lu Chen's group, there are two people with full bounties, the Sandaime and Jiraiya both have high bounties. The Tsuchikage has given an extremely high bounty to the main fighting force of Konoha. Ohnoki likes to use the plan of driving mercenaries to realize his own plan. Although ordinary mercenaries will not
As someone who had previously assassinated the First Hokage, Kakuzu was naturally incredibly courageous. Therefore, he believed he could take both heads. However, even Kakuzu wouldn't just charge in recklessly; he would employ strategies to achieve his goals.

The one with five hearts thought that he could survive even if he failed, and that escaping would definitely not be a problem for him since he had five hearts.

The nine-member team led by the Third Hokage rushed towards the Takigakure Village. They moved very quickly and it didn't take long for them to leave the Land of Fire.

Along the way, the forests gradually decreased and the mountains gradually increased.

Takigakure is located between the Land of Rock and the Land of Fire. This small village occupies a very small area. It is located in a place surrounded by waterfalls.

Because of its unique geographical location, it has not been conquered by other countries. The above information was told by Jiraiya to Lu Chen and V along the way.

Compared to Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was preoccupied with his journey, Jiraiya wasn't too worried about the upcoming journey. He felt completely relaxed. If it weren't for his teacher leading the way, Jiraiya would have even planned to go to a rural tavern and find a few waitresses to accompany him for a few drinks.

For him, this was what traveling meant. However, because his teacher was there, Jiraiya could only chat with Lu Chen and V.

The three of them were all knowledgeable people and shared a lot of experiences with each other.

Lu Chen didn't have any specific knowledge of Takigakure. After all, this kind of village, which was mentioned casually in the comics and had no characteristics, really had no sense of existence. There were a lot of small countries in Naruto, and these countries were more like villages than countries.

The so-called Ninja World War is actually a village fight.

The only information he knew about Takigakure Village was the Hero's Water, which was extremely harmful to the body. Lu Chen felt that this thing was very similar to the deadly medicine of Fishman Island. Perhaps every world had this kind of evil power that consumed lives to increase strength.

Lu Chen asked Jiraiya, "Have you ever thought about going to this country and taking away their Hero's Water? I feel like this kind of thing should be very useful as a desperate weapon. After all, the loser of a battle doesn't have to worry about a shortened lifespan."

Jiraiya expressed his understanding: "This kind of evil thing has no value in improving ninjas. If everyone uses this thing to fight, there will soon be no ninjas left." V replied thoughtfully: "Is that so?"

For mercenaries in the cyberpunk world, injecting stimulants before a fight is a common practice. After all, the combination of flesh and machinery without direct injection of oil is already very humane.

Lu Chen knew that Konoha actually had something more useful. The Akimichi Clan had a secret medicine that was even more powerful. It was something far more useful than the Hero's Water. However, in such a classic anime, drugs couldn't be used during a fight. Therefore, these things gradually faded from view in the later period.

At this moment, a violent explosion erupted from a tree somewhere. Each of the nine members in this team was an extremely elite member. Even the weakest members of the Konoha Sealing Squad had experienced many battles. In the war that just ended, every living ninja had been through hundreds of battles.

The remaining people were stronger than the last, including Hokage, Sannin, God, Legend, and Lu Chen, who had a lot of titles. Who on earth had the guts to come here and attack this group of people?

Behind Lu Chen, a substitute's body of steel emerged, and the air near the explosion immediately became solid. The explosion did not break through the barrier formed by the air.

Nagato's eyes were fixed on the surroundings, and a terrifying aura emanated from him.

Several Anbu ninjas took out their kunai and became alert.

Lu Chen's observational skills revealed several traps. Several ninjas with forehead markings crouched in the woods, staring at the group. None of them were well-known.

Jiraiya put away his slightly frivolous attitude and said to the others, "It seems we are under attack. I will go to the front to take a look. You stay alert."

He believed that a breakthrough must be made, and stopping here would be detrimental to the battle.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded in agreement with Jiraiya's thoughts, then spoke cautiously, "Don't be careless, Jiraiya. Be careful of ambushes."

During this period, his spirit was tense. After all, an enemy who could easily kill the Mizukage and defeat the Raikage brothers was worth taking seriously. He believed that this place was very close to Takigakure Village, so the probability of encountering Isshiki was very high.

Everyone believed that this attack was most likely initiated by Isshiki. After all, mercenaries also need to consider cost-effectiveness. Capturing the lone Twelve Guardian Ninjas is more reliable than hunting down the Hokage and the Sannin combined.

Ōnoki hadn't expected mercenaries to fulfill his bounties; his goal was simply to encourage desperate individuals to harass the enemy. Therefore, after the war, he didn't specifically withdraw the bounties. Therefore, underground bounty agencies continued to offer bounties on the Hokage and the Sannin.

Nagato told Jiraiya what he had observed: "There are three enemies in the bushes not far ahead, and one is hiding underground."

His vast chakra has the ability of Kagura's mind's eye.
