Chapter 128 Discovery of Kakuzu

In the Third Hokage's timeline, Obito had already obtained Madara's rib and was heading to Konoha.

In Tobirama Senju's timeline, the ANBU ninjas he sent out also successfully located Kakuzu.

"It's been almost a month, and we've finally found him. Where is he now?"

"Reporting to the Hokage, Kakuzu is currently in Izumo Castle on the border of the Land of Lightning."

"I'm giving you two days off. Go and get some rest."

"Thank you, Lord Hokage."

Knowing where Kakuzu is makes things much easier; without further ado, just call for reinforcements.

He first went to his sister-in-law's place and invited Mito Uzumaki.

Upon hearing that she could leave the village, Mito readily agreed without even asking Tobirama what he was going to do.

Next are the four disciples who are still in the village.

Shimura Danzo, Mito Menyan, Koharu and Akimichi Kaifeng.

The four of them didn't ask any further questions and happily agreed to Tobirama-sensei's request.

As for Uchiha Kagami and Sarutobi Hiruzen, Tobirama Senju specially used the Flying Thunder God Technique to go to the Land of Fire, chatted with the daimyo of the Land of Fire, and successfully gave Hiruzen and Kagami several days off.

"Hiruzen, Kagami, you two go to Izumo Castle and wait. My sister-in-law and I will be there shortly."

"Yes, teacher."

While chatting with the Daimyo, Tobirama also took the opportunity to recover his chakra. Now that he has recovered almost completely, he flashed back to Konoha.

"Alright, everyone's here. Let's set off now."

Speed ​​is of the essence in war. Fearing that Kakuzu would escape, Tobirama didn't bother with any smokescreens to conceal his whereabouts. He simply led five men and swaggered out of the village.

In an instant, spies from various villages lurking in Konoha used their own methods to contact the outside world, revealing that Tobirama Senju had left the village with his disciples.

Because Mito Uzumaki was well protected by the village and was wearing a mask, the infiltrators had no idea that the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki had also left the village.

The Land of Lightning is located in the northeast corner of the Land of Fire, separated by the Land of Fields.

In the original storyline, the ninja village in the Land of Rice Fields was the Sound Village, founded by Orochimaru.

The current timeline for Tobirama is not yet at the beginning of the original story, so this country does not yet have its own ninja village.

That was good. Without any ninjas stopping them, Tobirama and his group only spent a little over a day crossing the Land of Rice Fields and arriving in the Land of Lightning.

Once they arrived here, they could no longer travel freely and unrestrainedly.

The Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning is, after all, one of the Five Great Ninja Villages.

Although Tobirama extorted a large amount of supplies and money from them half a year ago, Kumogakure is backed by the Land of Lightning, so they should have recovered considerably in half a year.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Tobirama and his group began to conceal their whereabouts.

Of course, he knew he couldn't hide it for long.

However, as long as they are fast enough, once they find Kakuzu, they can beat him up and make him submit, and then immediately return to the village.

As long as they are fast enough, those who have designs on them will not be able to catch up.

Another day passed, and Tobirama and his party arrived at Izumo Castle without incident.

Having found the marks left by the Anbu ninjas, Hiruzen, and Kagami, the Konoha side successfully reunited.

"Where's Jing? Why isn't he here?"

"Kagami is following Kakuzu."

"Huh? What's going on? Explain yourself."

"It's like this, teachers. You've arrived a little late. Kakuzu has already collected his bounty from the gold exchange and left Izumo Castle. In order not to lose Kakuzu's whereabouts, Kagami followed him out of the castle."

"I see."

Tobirama had already considered this on his way here, so he wasn't surprised to hear that Kakuzu had left Izumo Castle.

"Alright, let's follow the marks left by the mirror and catch up now."

At this point, Tobirama turned to look at the six masked Anbu ninjas and continued, "You can go back to Konoha now. We won't need you for the next operation."

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

"Absolutely amazing! My luck these past two days has been incredible!"

"We're finally open for business!"

Kakuzu looked very happy as he walked along the tree-lined path.

Since becoming a rogue ninja of Takigakure, he has devoted all his energy to making money.

However, as a ninja, he had no other skills besides killing people.

After much thought, he decided that becoming a bounty hunter was the only option for him.

Fortunately, in major cities around the world, there is at least one underground money exchange.

These underground gold exchange offices are precisely the main source of bounty money for people like him.

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

Here, he would take on missions, kill people, and collect bounties; many years passed by simply like that.

Having already earned a lot of bounty, Kakuzu was still enjoying himself and showed no signs of getting tired of it.

He could work for another hundred years without getting tired of the thrill of battle and the wealth it offered.

He's just been having some bad luck lately.

Either you accept the mission, find the target's head is gone after you locate them, or you accept the mission but then discover that the target is already dead.

Either there simply isn't a suitable task for him to take on.

Taking on clients who offer tens or hundreds of thousands of taels of silver is simply a waste of his time.

Fortunately, two days ago, after entering the Land of Lightning, he saw a rogue ninja from Kirigakure with a bounty of three million ryo.

Without hesitation, having not made a sale in a long time, he directly killed the man and went to the underground gold exchange to collect the bounty.

He originally wanted to stay in Izumo City for a few more days to rest.

As a result, he keenly sensed that someone in the city was watching him.

Therefore, he left the city immediately after receiving the bounty.

In the bustling city, he was still unsure who was watching him.

Once these people follow him out of the city, they shouldn't blame him.

Thinking of this, Kakuzu felt that he was already far enough away from Izumo Castle, and even if a battle broke out, the ninjas from Kumogakure wouldn't be able to get there in a short time.

"Let's see if these mice will follow me out."

Kakuzu walked behind a large tree and silently planted a few black lines.

These black lines are a product of his fusion with the Earthly Grudge, and can be used to attack enemies, sew up bodies, and conduct reconnaissance.

To confuse any potential followers, Kakuzu created a clone to continue forward, while his main body hid somewhere.

With the large tree as cover, Uchiha Kagami did not sense Kakuzu's subtle movements.

Not long after Kakuzu left the Great Tree, he followed in Kakuzu's footsteps and arrived here.

The presence of the black line alerted someone lurking nearby that there was indeed someone fearless following him.

Then there's nothing more to say.

Since he dares to follow me, then let's take him down!

Kakuzu gently raised his right index and middle fingers, and the black lines that had been lying in ambush under the big tree immediately emerged and attacked Uchiha Kagami's neck.

Behind her, a loud whooshing sound came, but Jing reacted quickly to dodge the attack of the black lines. At the same time, she formed a hand seal and used a powerful fireball to burn the black lines to ashes.
