Chapter 104 The Abnormal Immortality

[Afterwards, Kakuzu, seeking wealth, murdered Hidan, and in perfect coordination, captured the Jinchūriki of both the Seven-Tails and the Two-Tails.]

Besides capturing tailed beasts, Kakuzu also takes on the task of raising funds for the organization.

After murdering the monk Jiriku of the Fire Temple, whose property was valued at thirty million ryo, he traveled a great distance to exchange the corpse for money.

"Huh? They actually killed Chirai?"

They already knew about the Akatsuki's capture of the Tailed Beasts through Orochimaru's account.

This is also the main reason why the Fifth Hokage Jiraiya and the Third Hokage listed the Akatsuki organization as their enemy.

If the Akatsuki wants to collect the Tailed Beasts, then they will inevitably clash with Konoha sooner or later.

Who told the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to be in Konoha?

They can't just hand Naruto over to the Akatsuki to avoid a fight, can they?

What has become of Konoha?

Therefore, the conflict between the two sides is fundamentally irreconcilable.

When the Akatsuki officially began capturing the Tailed Beasts, that was when Konoha and their forces clashed.

"Fifth Hokage, Jiraiya is my friend, and I would like to invite him to stay in Konoha for a while."

Asma desperately wanted to save his friend, but he didn't know the exact timeline of events shown on the screen.

He could only invite Jiraiya to stay in Konoha for a while to see how things went, and also reveal some information about Kakuzu and Hidan in the hopes of saving Jiraiya's life.

"You can let Chiriku stay in the village for a while, but it can't be done in the name of Konoha, understand?"

"I understand that villages should keep a low profile."

"It's good that you understand."

[During the money exchange, Hidan couldn't stand the stench of corpses in the underground money exchange and left first.]

[Kakuzu, however, ignored the harsh environment, enjoying the banknotes on the list and remarking that Hidan was destined to be without money.]

[These two on a mission definitely have that vibe of a divorced single father taking his unruly child out on a business trip.]

[As soon as Kakuzu left the underground gold exchange with his money, he found Hidan and Asuma Sarutobi's team fighting.]

"What's going on? How did I end up fighting Hidan?"

Asuma was just thinking about how to subtly reveal Hidan and Kakuzu's information to Jiraiya when he saw himself fighting Hidan.

This is a classic case of someone getting caught up in the drama themselves.

"I wonder if I can bring Hidan and Kakuzu back to Konoha with Shikamaru and the others."

"I don't think the chances are very high."

"Yeah?"

Seeing Kakashi shake his head, Asuma wasn't annoyed. Instead, he asked with interest, "Why do you say that?"

"intuition."

"Okay, I shouldn't have asked you."

Asuma shut up and turned to look at the light screen again.

In fact, there are quite a few people who share the same thoughts as Kakashi.

The Fifth Hokage Jiraiya, the Third Hokage, Orochimaru, and even Kurenai Yuhi all believed that Asuma's team had little chance.

Hidan's immortality is still uncertain, but Kakuzu's strength is extremely high.

Kakuzu possessed five hearts with different attributes, granting him the ability to use the Five Elements Ninjutsu.

Because of his five hearts, Kakuzu also has five lives.

Those who fight him without knowing his intelligence are likely to suffer heavy losses.

"I hope the screen can show this battle, unlike when Pain 'invited' Kakuzu and skipped the whole fight."

[Hidan is the main character in this scene, but Kakuzu's biggest desire is for Asuma, who is worth 35 million ryo.]

[Underground money exchange: exchange money the moment you walk in; corpse disposal takes no time at all. If you're a true brother, come and fight me!]

Hidan's "good luck" prompted Kakuzu to make a sarcastic remark.

"So, you've become obsessed with money these days?"

After a fierce battle, Hidan was beheaded by Asuma.

Asuma: Haha, I'm pretty good, aren't I?

At this moment, Kakuzu displayed his secret stitching ability, and a Street Fighter appeared, stitching Hidan's head back on.

"Wow~ This immortality is really something, isn't it? His head was chopped off and he's still alive?"

To be honest, the Third Hokage and others had their own speculations about Hidan's immortality.

Literally, it means that no matter what, you won't die.

But when they actually saw Hidan survive even after his head was cut off, they were still shocked and gasped.

"What a monster."

"That's right. No wonder they were called the Immortal Duo in the Akatsuki. One had five lives, and the other could survive even after having his head cut off. The name of this duo is really fitting."

"Hidan is still alive after all this, it seems Asuma is in grave danger."

Everyone nodded.

If Hidan is killed by Asuma like this, their team will only have Kakuzu to face.

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

Even if Asuma's squad is no match for Kakuzu, they should be able to escape unscathed.

Unfortunately, Hidan wasn't killed, and Asuma now has to face both monsters at the same time, making the situation very unfavorable for him.

Having stitched Hidan's head back together, Kakuzu subdued Konoha's two gatekeepers, one in each hand.

[While Asuma was being dealt with by Hidan, Kakuzu's attention was diverted by the crows of Special Jonin Yamashiro Aoba, and Namiashi Raikage seized the opportunity to sever Kakuzu's head with his black blade.]

"What? I'm going to die?"

Asuma stared in disbelief at himself lying on the ground with blood trickling from his mouth in the image on the screen.

He was, after all, an elite Jonin, and he felt confident that he could escape unscathed even if he faced Kakuzu and Hidan.

Then the scene changed, and there he was, just like that.

This death seems rather hasty.

So, what about the battle scenes?

Why not show the battle scenes as well?

At least let us see what Hidan's tricks are, and how I died, right?

Not even revealing this much information, what a stingy veil!

"Sigh~"

Asuma's death caused everyone present to sigh, and they also regretted not having witnessed the actual battle.

"After all, this issue's focus is on Kakuzu, and Hidan is just a side project, so it's understandable that we won't show any battle scenes."

"Fortunately, we also roughly understand the abnormality of Hidan's immortality, so it wasn't a complete loss."

"That's true."

The Third Hokage nodded in agreement, then looked at Asuma as if to say something.

"Old man, what are you trying to say?"

"Never mind, I don't have anything to say."

"No, you're just teasing me. Just say what you have to say."

"Alright, you're the one who told me to say it."

"Stop dawdling and just tell me."

"Alright, starting tomorrow, I will personally supervise your training to prevent you from dying a violent death outside the village."

Asuma was completely stunned. If he had known it would turn out like this, he would not have let the Third Hokage speak.

"No, old man, I'm a grown man, do I need you to supervise my training? Aren't you afraid I'll be laughed at by Kakashi and the others?"

Upon hearing this, the Third Hokage looked at Kakashi and said, "Kakashi, would you laugh at him?"

Kakashi's lips twitched slightly as he replied, "I am a seasoned Konoha Jonin. No matter how funny something is, I won't laugh unless I can't help it."

"Hahaha~"

Asuma: ? ? ?
