This Naruto is a player

But perhaps fearing that this "fool" would ruin things, he still managed to squeeze out an explanation in a dry, sandpaper-like voice: "He's worth twelve million taels!"

"understood!"

Red nodded.

Twelve million?

Although our family doesn't lack this little bit of pocket money.

But even a fly's leg is still meat!

boom--

The shrill cry of an explosive tag kunai ripped through the brief silence, instantly igniting the battle!

The crowd quickly split into two groups: one led by Hongzhong and the other by Jiaodu.

The people of Kumogakure were well-trained and formed a formation around the two, encircling them.

Kakuzu's withered face remained expressionless, even carrying a hint of mockery.

Faced with the siege, he moved like a ghost through the lightning and electric net, each flutter of his wide sleeves bringing with it a storm of blood and gore.

Earth Spear Hardens! Water Release: Cut! Wind Blade: Strangulation!

Ten minutes or so?

No! Just a few breaths!

The ground beneath his feet was stained dark red, and severed limbs were scattered all over the ground. The last Cloud Ninja was easily snapped in the neck as if he were crushing an egg!

On the other side of the battlefield.

Hong Zhong appeared to be in a "disarrayed" state, struggling to maneuver amidst the attacks of several Cloud Hidden Swordsmen.

Out of the corner of his eye, he precisely caught the end of the killing on Kakuzu's side, and the old ghost slowly taking out a body bag!

Kakuzu, like a professional butcher, meticulously stuffed the bearded Jonin, worth twelve million, into a body bag as if he were bundling up cargo.

After doing all this,

He slowly turned towards the "stalemate" battlefield in the Red Army, his withered hands quickly forming hand seals in front of his chest!

"It's time to send you on your way, you fat pig."

"Combined Ninja Art: Flame Wind Chaos!"

Fearing his teammates might not die, he chose the most powerful combination ninjutsu.

boom--

Flames swept across the sky, instantly engulfing seven or eight Cloud Ninjas and Red Zhong on the battlefield!

"Do not--"

The Cloud Hidden Swordsman who was caught in the crossfire only had time to let out half a desperate roar!

scoff-

In just a moment, Kakuzu smelled the aroma of grilled meat.

When the flames died down, only scorched earth and a few wisps of smoke remained.

Kakuzu leaped down from the height like a vulture, rummaging through the scorching embers.

520 million taels is no small sum!

We can't waste it!

Soon, he found his target—a charred, curled-up fragment of a robe, with barely discernible red cloud patterns.

A satisfied smile crept across his lips as he reached out his withered claws toward the wreckage.

"Pfft-"

A cold, icy light suddenly pierced out from beneath the charred fragments of Xiao's robe!

Precise! Ruthless!

Like the fangs of a venomous snake, it pierced through Kakuzu's heart in an instant!

"Cough cough—!!"

Kakuzu's body stiffened abruptly, and his dark green pupils suddenly contracted to pinpoints!

He looked down in disbelief—a longsword flashing with eerie blue lightning had completely pierced his heart!

He struggled to lift his head.

The charred fragments of Xiao's robe were lifted by an intact hand.

Hongzhong rose unharmed from that scorched earth of death.

The bewilderment of a "newcomer" on his face had vanished without a trace, replaced by a cold, mocking scrutiny.

"Kakuzu-senpai."

Hong Zhong's voice was eerily calm, "When collecting corpses, you have to make sure the target is truly 'dead' before you can proceed."

"puff--"

Kakuzu coughed up another mouthful of black blood, his body swaying precariously, on the verge of collapsing completely.

A sudden change has occurred!

"Shoot-"

The tattered red-cloud black robe behind Kakuzu was suddenly torn apart.

A more solidified, ominous black shadow, wearing a hideous demon mask and exuding a thick, ominous aura, suddenly burst forth with a silent shriek!

This is the Earthly Grudge, the true immortal core of Kakuzu!

"cough--"

Kakuzu sneered as he pointed at the black blood again.

Instead of fear, his wrinkled face contorted into a distorted expression, a mixture of excruciating pain and maniacal laughter.

He has four lives, so even if he loses one now, he still has three!

But this fat pig, this weakling, didn't get a second chance!

He struggled to lift his head, his cloudy green eyes filled with the mockery of a victor, ready to savor the terror of his opponent's dying breath—

The instant his gaze fell upon the red eyes,

Time seemed to freeze!

Those once "clear and foolish" black and white pupils have now transformed into a pair of scarlet Sharingan eyes?

The three jet-black magatama slowly rotated, emanating a cold yet familiar ominous aura!

???

In an instant, Kakuzu was reminded once again of the fear of being dominated by the Sharingan!

It was a feeling of absolute domination, of being manipulated and powerless to resist!

Is the masked man, who isn't called Tobi and claims to be Uchiha Madara, the one standing in front of me?

Then, that familiar feeling came over me.

Kakuzu found that no matter how he tried to move, his body wouldn't budge an inch!

The nightmarish experience has struck again!

It's over! It's completely over!

A tremendous sense of absurdity and anger at being fooled overwhelmed him instantly!

cold!

tremble!

In broad daylight, Kakuzu felt a chill run through his body and trembled all over!

It's you! The masked Uchiha!

You should have said so earlier!

Why the hell didn't you say you were that Uchiha sooner?!

I, Kakuzu, am a man of principle!

If I see an Uchiha, I'd rather go around them like the plague!

Payne! You guys screwed me over!!!

“I’ve noticed that your heart is very different from most people’s; it seems you have four,” Hong Zhong said coldly.

"Pfft!"

The longsword was coldly drawn with a piercing scraping sound!

next second!

"Pfft!"

Another precise penetration!

"Ugh—!" Kakuzu's body suddenly arched up, like a fish nailed to a chopping board!

The second heart is now unusable!

Then, using the same technique, do it again!

At this point, the angle, which originally had four lives, only has one life left.

"It seems you only have one life left! What if I stab you one more time?"

"Cough cough—Pfft!"

Another pool of thick blood gushed out, and Kakuzu's previous scheming, arrogance, and anger were all crushed into the most humble powder of fear.

He was quite tough; his bloodshot green eyes stared intently at Hong Zhong, his teeth clenched, and he didn't utter a sound!

"How rude of me."
