Naruto, your uncle is going to be Hokage!

Kisame's sharp, shark-like eyes gleamed with anticipation.

"Dark Release is a bloodline limit that absorbs chakra. My Samehada sword can also absorb chakra. I want to test which one is stronger!"

Kisame's Samehada sword, carried on his back, had sharp spikes resembling those of a pufferfish standing upright beneath his bandages, as if it too was excited about the enemy it was about to face.

"Is that so? Then I'll wait and see."

Seeing Kisame's expectant look, Kisame also became interested.

As members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, they were a rare pair of partners in the organization with a relatively harmonious relationship.

Kisame versus Dark Release Kekkei Genkai?

It seems to be a contest of who can absorb more!

……

As Kisame chose Dark Release, the remaining three Kekkei Genkai were divided up by the other members.

The Akatsuki organization is known for its swift and decisive actions. Having selected Kakuzu, who was using Steel Release, they began their journey to the location of the Steel Release ninja as indicated in the intelligence.

He didn't want to waste too much time.

The more time you spend capturing bloodline limit ninjas, the less time you have left to make money.

The Fifth Hokage of Konoha didn't seem to like the dark existence of the underground black market.

The Uchiha peacekeeping force has been cracking down on the underground black market, and now the black market within the Land of Fire has been almost completely wiped out. The few remaining black markets are basically closed and do not easily issue missions to the outside world.

The underground black markets in several neighboring countries were also affected.

It can be said that the existence of the Uchiha peacekeeping force dealt a devastating blow to the black market industry in the entire ninja world.

"If we weren't afraid of provoking the peacekeeping forces, we would have chosen the Sharingan for this capture mission."

Kakuzu was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.

All members of the peacekeeping force are Uchiha clan members, so the easiest way to obtain Sharingan is through the peacekeeping force.

But the key point is that all the Uchiha in the peacekeeping force are lunatics, complete lunatics, even more insane than ordinary Uchiha.

Kakuzu had personally witnessed their efforts to wipe out the underground black market of the Land of Fire.

Even he, a renowned immortal ninja who had once fought Hashirama Senju and was famous in the underground black market, felt a chill run down his spine and broke out in a cold sweat at that crazed appearance.

The Uchiha clan, whose faith is to maintain peace, are even more terrifying when they go mad!

Not to be offended.

Really can't afford to offend.

Fortunately, after Konoha killed the daimyo, a brand new profession was born in the ninja world: the Daimyo Security Team, which was dedicated to protecting the daimyo's safety.

Thanks to the emergence of this profession, Kakuzu has gained income from other sources.

"Hey, Hidan, when we fight the Steel Release ninja later, I'll try to get some of their blood, and you can use that opportunity to activate your ability curse."

The reason Hidan chose Steel Release Kekkei Genkai as his opponent was because Hidan's ability perfectly countered Steel Release.

Steel Release ninjas are mostly taijutsu ninjas. Although their physical bodies are far stronger than those of ordinary ninjas, they can still bleed.

Once he obtains the opponent's blood, he can use Hidan's ability to kill them in one blow.

"Hey! Hidan, didn't you hear me?!"

Kakuzu, impatient at not receiving a reply from Hidan, turned away.

Hidan looked completely out of his mind, like a walking corpse, and followed behind him with unsteady steps.

Sure enough, it is like this again.

Kakuzu looked like he had a headache.

Ever since the Jashin Cult in the Land of Hot Water was wiped out by the peacekeeping forces, Hidan seems like a completely different person, constantly depressed.

He muttered things like, "Evil God, have you abandoned your followers?", "My god is gone", and "Why doesn't the evil god respond?"

Kakuzu, Hidan's partner, finds it quite difficult to adapt to his transformation from a previously talkative and troublesome boy with a bad temper to his current state.

The evil cult in the Land of Hot Water was eradicated by the peacekeeping forces, and the underground black market around the Land of Fire was also swept away by the peacekeeping forces. From this perspective, he and Hidan are in the same boat.

Their most hated enemies are the Uchiha peacekeeping forces.

"Hopefully, Hidan will be able to play a role in the battle!"

Kakuzu let out a helpless sigh.

If Hidan is still in this state during the battle, he will have to fight the Steel Release ninja all by himself.

With his abilities, he naturally wouldn't be afraid of the other party, but it wouldn't be worth wasting time making money.

As a ninja who has survived since the time of Hashirama Senju, Kakuzu has only one belief.

money.

……

The Land of Lightning, nestled in the mountains of Kumogakure, is located in an open area behind the mountains.

A, the Fourth Raikage at the time, was giving Troy special training!

With a rock bigger than his body on his shoulder, Troy's clothes were soaked with sweat, as if he had just been pulled out of the water, and he was doing squats in great pain.

"Raikage, I can't go on, I really can't!"

Troy felt excruciating pain from the rock pressing on his shoulder, and his abdomen felt like it was churning. If he hadn't already vomited once, he probably would have vomited up all his stomach acid.

The intense training pushed his body to the brink of collapse.

"Troy! You're a Magnet Release ninja, you can't disgrace Kumogakure!"

Having already activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode, Ai, his entire body bathed in lightning, gave a rough, encouraging voice.

Troy, a Magnet Release ninja, embodied all his hopes.

Konoha's Fifth Hokage, Mirai Namikaze, earned the title of Blue Flash by using his Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai.

Both being Magnet Release ninjas, if Namikaze Mirai can do it, why can't Troy from Kumogakure do it?

"Go Troy! Strengthening your physical body is the first step in training Lightning Release Chakra Mode."

In order to make Troy a match for the future of the Wave Wind, Ai trained Troy in all aspects.

Namikaze Mirai is bathed in lightning during battle.

Then teach Troy the Lightning Release Chakra Mode so he can also be bathed in lightning.

Ai was even considering whether to dye Troy's hair blonde, so that he could also imitate Mirai Namikaze's appearance.

Perhaps blond hair is also one of the factors that makes someone strong.

Minato and Mirai Namikaze are both blond-haired, one known as the Yellow Flash and the other as the Blue Flash.

Why can't Troy from Kumogakure become the third Flash?

Troy is almost driven crazy by Raikage A's actions lately.

What's wrong with you that you'd think of having me surpass Namikaze Mirai?

Troy, who has three eyelashes under his eyelids and the same dead fish eyes as Kakashi, also lies flat in a similar way to Kakashi in his behavior.

Isn't it better to just lie down?

Why should we confront the future of the wind?

The Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure was also a Magnet Release ninja, but he was utterly defeated by Mirai Namikaze.

He was ridiculed by the ninja world and eventually went insane.

Troy had no intention of following in Rosa's footsteps.

Namikaze Mirai's Magnet Release is completely unscientific!

Their magnetic escape technique is simply not the same kind.

If I were to actually face Namikaze Mirai, I'm afraid I'd be even worse off than Rasa.

pat!

After enduring repeated torture by Ai, Troy, whose physical strength was already exhausted and on the verge of collapse, finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell face-first into the dirt, the boulder he was carrying rolling off his shoulders.

"Troy! How could you give up so easily? Stand up, Troy!"

No matter how much Ren Ai yelled, Troy showed no intention of getting up, lying motionless on the ground like a dead dog.

Ai tried to pull Troy up, but the latter, as soon as he stood up, immediately slumped down like clay that had lost its support.

"Raikage, just kill me! Instead of letting me fight Namikaze Mirai, just kill me now."

Troy had made up his mind that no matter how much Ai urged him, he would not get up this time.

Fighting against Namikaze Mirai would mean certain death, and suffering such inhuman torture at the hands of the Raikage would also lead to death.

It's better to choose a way to die that you're comfortable with.

Even in death, one should choose the way one prefers; this is the philosophy of life for Troy, a master of lying down.

"Troy, you have disappointed me greatly. As a ninja of Kumogakure, even in death, you should die standing up!"
