Naruto: Abandoned baby, Madara recognized me as his godfather

At the same time, at the secret base of Akatsuki.

Kakuzu returned to the hall alone with the cash box, and happened to meet Itachi and Kisame who were about to go out.

Kisame showed his jagged teeth and grinned:

“Are you doing a part-time job again? It’s really hard, Kakuzu-senpai.”

“What part-time job? Debt collection!”

“Oh? Senior, are you still responsible for debt collection?”

“Humph.” Kakuzu snorted coldly: “Akatsuki will be disbanded without me! As the financial manager of the organization, I can only be responsible for collecting the bad debts…”

“There are always a few small countries or families that don’t have eyes and rely on their own power to not settle the mission commission fees. Those who owe money and don’t pay it back don’t deserve to live in this world.”

Hearing this, Kisame gloated and said: “Is there anyone who dares to owe money to Akatsuki? Senior Ah, tell me if you see this kind of person again. I’ve been bored lately. My sword Samehada has been thirsty for a long time, and so has Itachi~”

Uchiha Itachi: “…”

Kakuzu rolled his eyes at the two of them: “Do you know? I still have a bad debt to deal with, which is the client of your last mission.”

Kisame: “No way, I remember that the client of the last mission was a business tycoon in Yugakuin, who was not short of money.”

Kakuzu: “Humph, the richest people are often the most stingy and greedy!”

After saying that, Kakuzu was too lazy to chat with Kisame anymore, and turned around and continued to walk deeper into the hall.

“Wait a minute, Kakuzu…” Uchiha Itachi suddenly spoke.

Kakuzu stopped and turned his head with an incredible look on his face.

It’s not common to hear Uchiha Itachi speak.

“Itachi, you can talk. I haven’t heard you speak for so long that I thought you were dumb.” Kakuzu narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice: “What do you want me to do? Is there something?”

Uchiha Itachi whispered:

“The tasks that Kisame and I carry out are only arranged by the leader Yu and Xiaonan. Xiaonan is responsible for contacting and assigning tasks to us. As for whether the task entrusting party will pay or not, Kisame and I don’t know. We just have to complete it.”

Kakuzu: “You don’t have to explain this to me. I understand. I don’t blame you and Xiaonan for not getting the money back. Anyway, I can find much more [rewards] than the task amount after I slaughter those who don’t pay.”

Uchiha Itachi: “The task that the leader just gave us is to go to Yugakure. You can come with us to carry it out, and by the way, go to collect the debt from the business tycoon who owes money.”

“?”

Hearing this, Kakuzu was stunned, and then sneered:

“Haha, what did I think you could say? Do you want me to be your free servant? Thugs? Humph! I still like you to keep your mouth shut…”

Kisame: “Senior, don’t say that Itachi. It was the leader who asked you to follow us. Itachi and I have been waiting for you here for a long time.”

Kakuzu raised his eyebrows: “Huh? You mean the leader?”

Kisame smiled evilly and nodded: “The members of Akatsuki are all in pairs. You have been alone recently. The leader has seen a candidate who is very suitable for you. He is in Yugakure…”

“Of course, this trip is not in vain. There is a reward. Capturing him is also the commission of the Daimyo of Yu Country. Your future partner has killed many people in Yugakure…”

“……” Kakuzu was silent for a moment and said:

“Let that person be my partner? Humph, then I have to go and see what kind of person he is.”

“Let me tell you in advance that if I am not satisfied, I may kill him directly! At that time… even if you stop me, it will be useless!”
