Chapter 103 The Murder-for-Money Duo

After defecting from Takigakure, Kakuzu witnessed Ginkaku being transformed into a tailed beast by Kinkaku during World War I, and Tobirama holding off the Ginkaku and Kinkaku forces.

Having survived the tumultuous era of the First and Second Kage, Kakuzu, wielding secret techniques, continuously honed his combat experience.

[Several years later, he was invited to join the Akatsuki organization and became a member.]

After Akatsuki changed its leader, Kakuzu became one of the first selected members, meaning he became a full member.

[In this corner of the sky, one man surrounded a group of mercenaries.]

After it was all over, two more thugs in robes ran out of the grove.

[Kakuzu was fiercely attacked by one of them, witnessing for the first time the strength of this organization called Akatsuki.]

After a brief exchange, Payne stated that he had never touched money and had no interest in it.

Kakuzu claimed that he had sensed the organization's money-attracting nature, and that joining such a powerful organization would surely allow him to earn a larger retirement fund.

This is the difference between cultivators and ordinary workers.

[After this, Kakuzu naturally assumed the position of treasurer for the Akatsuki organization.]

"Is this... Yahiko?"

On the screen, when Kakuzu was invited, Pain and Black Zetsu disguised as a pitcher plant appeared.

Jiraiya, the Fifth Generation, didn't care about the pitcher plant next to him. What he cared about was that the Pain that A-Tian mentioned looked so much like Yahiko after he grew up.

"But that doesn't make sense, how could Yahiko possibly have the Rinnegan?"

"Jiraiya, you're saying that the Pain on the screen is one of the three brats you saved back then?"

When the Akatsuki organization invited Orochimaru, it was Pain who intervened.

At that time, Orochimaru did not recognize that Pain was Yahiko.

His entire focus was drawn to those Rinnegan eyes.

Upon hearing Jiraiya, the Fifth Hokage, say that Pain was Yahiko, Orochimaru immediately showed a very interested expression.

"All I can say is that Payne looks a lot like Yahiko, but whether he does or not, I don't know."

"That's true. From the video that reviewed Danzo, we already know that Yahiko was killed by Danzo a long time ago, so Pain shouldn't be him."

Jiraiya nodded without replying.

He was extremely nervous at that moment.

Even if the Pain on the screen wasn't Yahiko, he was still inextricably linked to his other disciple, Nagato.

Just as he said, why is Nagato's Rinnegan with Pain?

Jiraiya the Fifth Generation had a feeling that perhaps the information he received about Nagato and Konan's deaths in Amegakure was false.

Not only did Nagato and Konan not die, they also rebuilt the Akatsuki organization.

If it was set up by someone else, that would be too much of a coincidence.

That is to say, he is now the Hokage of Konoha, otherwise he would definitely have gone to Amegakure to verify it.

On the screen, one second Pain was about to make a move, and the next second Kakuzu was lying on the ground.

Although we didn't see the specifics of Pain's battle, we could tell from the fact that he was incredibly strong, even without breaking a sweat.

"It seems Kakuzu isn't such a tough nut to crack after all. If you want to invite him to Konoha, you can just go for it."

Both Danzo and Hiruzen realized that Tobirama-sensei intended to invite Kakuzu to Konoha.

Danzo was quite unhappy that Hiruzen had suggested it first.

In order not to be outdone by Hiruzen, he also offered his own suggestions.

"There's no rush for this."

Tobirama Senju reassured Danzo, since they hadn't even finished watching the video yet, and it was still uncertain whether Kakuzu was truly an anti-human element.

On the contrary, it was Pain's Rinnegan that Tobirama was particularly concerned about.

At this point in their lives, they were doing alright, as their only enemy was the dying Uchiha Madara. As for the other four great ninja villages, Tobirama didn't really take them seriously.

His biggest worry was the Third Hokage.

With Obito and Pain with the Rinnegan, none of them seem like easy targets.

Fortunately, he has successfully cloned Nohara Rin's body and used the Nara family's medicine to accelerate the clone's growth.

In just a few more days, he will be able to obtain the body of thirteen-year-old Nohara Rin, who has no soul.

If nothing unexpected happens, Obito will most likely abandon his evil ways and rejoin Konoha's ranks.

The part about hiring an accountant first in the early stages of a company's establishment is really realistic.

During his duty shifts, Kakuzu's psychological issues were particularly severe; while eliminating enemies, he would also inadvertently wipe out his own teammates.

[Until the organization arranged for Kakuzu to recruit Hidan.]

Kakuzu witnessed Hidan's immortality and his ability to kill enemies by licking their blood.

Thus, the murder-for-profit group was officially established.

For Kakuzu, Hidan, that loser, is pure and simple; he only has faith.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

[Hidan's immortality perfectly complements Kakuzu's indiscriminate fighting style, and Hidan doesn't interfere with Kakuzu's ability to make money.]

"Immortality?"

Kakuzu's five hearts were already astonishing enough to Jiraiya and the others, but now an immortal being has appeared.

Add to that Itachi Uchiha, Pain with the Rinnegan, Obito with the Mangekyou Sharingan, and Orochimaru who has already defected from Akatsuki—the members of Akatsuki are truly monsters.

"I wonder how this immortality works."

Taking a puff of his pipe, the Third Hokage looked at Orochimaru with slight displeasure.

If this guy hadn't been busy with research in the Akatsuki organization all day, resulting in a lack of effective intelligence on these people, they wouldn't be in such a passive position now.

They had already joined forces with the other four major ninja villages and attacked Amegakure.

"Orochimaru, do you really not have a single useful piece of information?"

Looking at Jiraiya who was speaking, Orochimaru shook his head and said, "As for the Akatsuki, I really have nothing to say."

"All right."

With a sigh, Jiraiya Godai had no choice but to continue watching the light screen.

Meanwhile, Tobirama developed a strong interest in Hidan's immortality.

Speaking of which, since this episode of the review began, Tobirama has been very interested in all the characters that have appeared in the video.

Kakuzu's Earth Grudge Fear, Pain's Rinnegan, and Hidan's immortality.

These are all top-tier research projects.

Just imagine how terrifying it would be if all the unique traits of these three people were combined into one person.

"Teacher, while we're looking for Kakuzu, should we also look for this guy named Hidan?"

"We might be able to find Kakuzu within this timeframe, but we might not be able to find Hidan."

"It all depends on human effort."

"You're right, it's just something we did along the way, so it won't hurt to look for it too."

That's what they say, but Tobirama didn't have much hope of finding Hidan.

After all, Hidan looks too young and doesn't show any signs of the vicissitudes of the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Tobirama is more inclined to believe that he was a new ninja who appeared during the Third Hokage's timeline, rather than an old ninja who lived from his own timeline to the Third Hokage's timeline.

Hidan: You guessed right!
