Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 589 Twenty million!

The whereabouts of Uchiha Shisui and Guren are still unknown.

Even the fact that such a large group of Uchiha ninjas had visited Amegakure went unnoticed.

Thanks to the barrier, everything that had happened before seemed as if it had never occurred, leaving only an empty building foundation in a corner of Amegakure.

Passersby sighed that it was really not easy to open a shop in Amegakure these days.

On the contrary, Kisame Hoshigaki, who had just returned to the peacekeeping force to rest not long ago, once again mustered his men after receiving a letter from Kirigakure and headed towards the location of the immortal duo that had been identified through previous intelligence gathering.

Within the territory of the land of rivers.

Beside a building resembling a highway supermarket, a figure dressed in a black robe with purple eyes sat listlessly at the entrance of the "supermarket".

In a remote place like this, where there isn't even a decent road nearby, it's impossible for anyone to be foolish enough to build a supermarket here.

In reality, this so-called "supermarket" was just a cover for an underground gold exchange within the territory of the River Country.

Of course, this disguise doesn't seem to be very sincere.

Looking back at the motionless "supermarket entrance," Wangliang yawned impatiently.

"Honestly, we agreed to head back as soon as we finished replenishing the heart, but then you insisted on getting a heart with a bounty on it too. Isn't that just a delay?!"

As a formal member who was forcibly recruited into the organization by that mysterious leader, Wangliang's personality has become increasingly Zen-like over the past two years.

Although the term "Buddhist-like" seems somewhat strange when used to describe an evil incarnation that separated from the body of an ancient priestess.

However, Wangliang himself felt quite helpless about his current situation.

Logically speaking, a villain like him who nearly destroyed the entire ninja world a thousand years ago should continue to realize his "great ambitions" as soon as he appears.

Unfortunately, he had barely appeared in the world when the contemporary Oni Kingdom priestess who could merge with him was captured and hidden away by the mysterious leader.

Having lost their 'original body', the only way for a demon to continue existing in the world is to possess the body of another.

An ordinary person's body simply cannot withstand the erosion of the demonic power; only the White Zetsu body provided by that mysterious leader can allow him to survive for a longer period of time.

With no means of countermeasures, the demons seemed to have no other options but to obey their leader's orders.

Now, his only hope is to enjoy the wonderful world a thousand years from now.

Who knows, maybe one day, when that unlucky leader is killed, he might have a chance to regain his original body.

While Wangliang was somewhat lost in thought, wondering if he should take out the anniversary edition of "Water Dragon" and watch it again.

A familiar sound of footsteps came from behind.

"Are you finally done? Is it really necessary to wait until you've finished counting the money before coming out every time?"

"Shut up, you old bastard, one more word and I'll kill you!"

Kakuzu, who had just come out of the money exchange, walked up to Moryo with a cold expression, carrying a briefcase full of money.

Kakuzu was too lazy to explain anything further to this guy who didn't understand the beauty of money.

If this guy weren't practically unkillable, he wouldn't have teamed up with him for so long.

He would have killed that old guy who was more than ten times his age long ago.

Just as the demon stood up, preparing to leave with Kakuzu.

Suddenly, a series of strange "speed up speed up" sounds came from beside them.

Immediately following, an incredibly long and bizarre scroll, like a serpent, snaked and twisted at an extremely fast speed, wrapping around the two of them.

"Explosive Blade Technique * Severe Severity, Death!"

"Boom!"

A series of massive explosions resounded throughout the land, engulfing the entire open area in flames and thick smoke.

The small supermarket that was used as a disguise was blown to pieces on the spot.

Amidst the thick smoke, the two quickly darted out.

However, what came head-on was a dense barrage of shuriken attacks.

After a series of clanging and clattering sounds.

Kakuzu, who had just used Earth Release: Earth Spear, was not injured at all.

On the contrary, the demon standing beside him, although he consciously relied on his teammates to cover him, was still covered with more than a dozen shuriken.

Even so, Wangliang simply pulled out the shuriken one by one with an indifferent expression.

For a monster like him, whose essence is an evil spirit, as long as his body has not been completely destroyed, it will not affect his soul possession.

After they came to a stop, the two noticed that dozens of ninjas had appeared in the area and were beginning to surround them.

"It's happening again. I told you we shouldn't always come to those gold exchange shops!"

Although he was complaining that Kakuzu always exposed his whereabouts because of this kind of thing, there was not a trace of tension on the face of the demon.

Before Kakuzu could say anything...

Hozuki Shingetsu, who was at the forefront of the encirclement, slung the "Exploding Blade Spray" back onto his shoulder and complained with some regret.

"What the hell? My perfect sneak attack had absolutely no effect?!"

Standing next to Hozuki Shingetsu, Itsaburo gave the unruly brat a disdainful look, rolled his eyes, but didn't say anything more.

"Kakuzu, a rogue ninja from Takigakure, codename North. A sealed artifact of the Land of Demons, Moryo, codename Three."

"The Immortal Duo of the Zero Organization, I hereby formally arrest you both in the name of the Commander-in-Chief of the Shinobi World Peace and Investigation Force. Please do not resist if possible."

Ignoring Hozuki Shingetsu's so-called "perfect sneak attack," Kisame Hoshigaki solemnly explained the purpose of his trip.

However, the demon who had been singled out by Kisame Hoshigaki still acted as if nothing mattered, and asked Kakuzu in a slightly teasing tone.

"What a load of nonsense titles, they're really awful! Kakuzu, what do you say? Should we still run away this time?"

It was only when the demon turned around that it realized what was happening.

Kakuzu, who had remained silent until now, was staring intently at the box of bounty money he had just acquired.

Or perhaps it's no longer appropriate to call it a money box at this point.

After the explosion, all Kakuzu had left in his hand was a handle and a piece of scrap metal attached to it.

All the bounty inside had been reduced to ashes in the explosion and fireworks.

With a swift motion, Kakuzu slammed the sheet metal in his hand onto the ground, his red and green eyes fixed intently on Shingetsu Hozuki, who was still grinning in the distance.

"Twenty million! Twenty million!! Those bastards from Kirigakure!!"

"Now, you'll pay for my losses with your heads!!"
