Kakuzu's voice was hoarse, like sandpaper scraping, each word dripping with blood, "I failed to recognize your true face at first glance."

"Oh?"

Hong Zhong raised an eyebrow slightly, his scarlet eyes brimming with mockery. "Looks like those unpleasant 'memories' have finally come knocking?"

In the past two days, through communication with other clones, Hongzhong learned that Liutong and Jiao had both crossed paths.

To prevent another Uchiha from joining the ninja world, he, Kurenai, had no choice but to bear the consequences of the sins committed by the Six Tunes!

As for why he impersonated Uchiha Madara before?

It was all because they heard that Uchiha Madara was still alive, so they wanted to see him in this way.

"Pfft!"

The longsword pierced in for the fourth time.

But this time, it avoided the last remaining, weakly beating heart!

"It's good that you remember now." Kurenai's voice, like a devil's whisper, rang in Kakuzu's ear, "So that I don't have to introduce myself again."

Kakuzu's blood-stained face twitched, his green eyes filled with a mixture of fear, resentment, and a hint of resigned defeat.

Seeing his expression, Hongzhong was still a little confused about what unforgettable thing Liutong had done to him.

However, Hongzhong doesn't intend to eliminate this Kakuzu.

The Akatsuki organization already has a small number of members, so there is no need for further reductions.

However, the necessary procedures cannot be omitted!

hum-

A pair of eerie Rinnegan eyes appeared.

"You—" Kakuzu was so shocked he almost shouted, but at that moment the black hand in the red had already covered his brain!

Memory access!

Three minutes later.

Hey!

Kakuzu is truly a living fossil of the ninja world!

But is this experience about worshipping money? That's quite something!

However, after this series of actions, Hongzhong realized that he probably couldn't make any further modifications to Jiaodu.

If this kind of person is reformed, they will definitely lose their original personality.

Since that's the case, I'll spare your life for now.

Moreover, this guy's ability to make money is truly terrifying!

Why not let him continue to be a highly efficient money-printing machine?

A slight thought!

After completely sealing away some of Kakuzu's memories, Akane switched back to the Sharingan.

You should be familiar with my procedures, right?

Kakuzu's bloodshot green eyes were momentarily blank.

Immediately, it felt like being struck by an electric current.

"I understand! Pay money to save my life! I know the rules!"

“Very good.” Hongzhong nodded in satisfaction, as if inspecting goods. “Your life is now priced at four hundred million taels.”

"Only when you've received all the money will your life truly be your own!"

"Cough-cough-"

Upon hearing this number, Kakuzu was so shocked that he coughed up a pool of blood.

but.

Deep within those murky green eyes, after the extreme pain and fear, a twisted obsession belonging to a miser, almost insane, suddenly ignited!

Four hundred million taels of silver!!! That's going to kill him!!!

Can.

Money can be earned back!

If you lose your life, you really lose everything!

As long as he can survive, even if it costs him 400 million, Uncle Kakuzu would sell everything he owns!

"Cough cough cough pfft!"

He spat out another mouthful of blood, but forced out a sinister smile that was more hideous than a grimace:

"Four hundred million taels, I'll give it to you!"

"Here."

pat.

Two dumplings fell in front of Kakuzu.

Upon seeing the two red pills, a familiar scene once again appeared before Kakuzu.

"The old price, 160 million taels per piece."

"Cough cough!" Kakuzu coughed up another mouthful of blood. He really wanted to say that he had a Xiaoyao Pill in his ninja tool pouch, but he wisely kept his mouth shut.

"besides!"

Hongzhong grinned and pointed arrogantly at the bearded corpse that Kakuzu had packed up, saying, "This is a corpse that I went through a lot of trouble to kill!"

Little Du! Do you think the bounty will automatically jump into my pocket?

Xiao Du? I'm an old comrade who's almost ninety years old!

And didn't I type this??

"Cough cough!" Kakuzu almost coughed up blood again.

In the end, all I could manage to say was, "I understand!"

After consuming the Rejuvenation Pill and recovering for a moment, Kakuzu carried the corpse on his back and followed Kurenai away.

As his figure receded into the distance, Kakuzu's back grew increasingly hunched.

Chapter 142 Inspection Tour

On the first night of his holiday, Naruto Uzumaki arrived in the Land of Grass, which he had always been loyal to!

Speaking of which, the recent events in the Land of Grass are strong contenders for the title of the most bizarre behavior of the year in the ninja world.

Ever since the previous daimyo of the Land of Grass choked to death while eating a cake, the two daimyo who succeeded him were found dead on tatami mats the day after they gave their inaugural speeches!

Strangely enough, both of them also had half a pancake stuffed in their mouths!

They died one after the other, and their deaths were exactly the same.

From then on, no one dared to take that position of great name.

Not only that, the daimyo's family also fled the Land of Grass overnight.

But the result vanished without a trace.

When they were discovered again, the whole family was dead, all neatly arranged. Everyone, even the expensively hired ninja bodyguards, had biscuits stuffed in their mouths.

That's so brutal!

Even a fool could see what was going on.

Instantly, the powerful figures of the neighboring small countries couldn't sit still!

They all resorted to indirect criticism, shifting the blame to certain forces they disliked, and for a time, words and brickbats flew everywhere.

The level of unrest in the ninja world has increased by 5.

Actually, they themselves are afraid!

Is this yet another tactic of a large country swallowing up a small one?

But the expected situation did not happen. The very next day, a guy named Whirlpool Dog Egg, who came from who-knows-where, directly occupied a piece of land in the Land of Grass, and then started recruiting workers, buying materials, and began building a city with a bang!

People from the Daimyo Prefecture claimed to have seen this red-haired fellow meet the Daimyo of the Land of Grass.

Then, the next day, the daimyo of the Land of Grass choked to death while eating a rice cake.

And then, the nightmare began!

The moment this explosive "eyewitness testimony" was released, the neighboring country's dignitaries, who had just been clamoring and passionately condemning the incident, instantly fell silent.

The scene was very quiet for a time.

They dare to point their fingers at good people and curse them because good people won't do anything to them.

But, let's leave aside truly evil people.

This guy named Uzumaki Gou Dan dared to break the unspoken rules of the ninja world; he'll really kill them!

but

This did not stop them from putting the Grass Country on high alert and keeping their gates tightly closed.

The daimyo of the smaller countries all turned their pleading eyes to the five major powers.

But the days of the five great nations,

They're not exactly thriving, but they're barely managing to stay afloat.

Big Brother Land of Fire: The Hokage's eldest disciple just pulled off a major operation that almost wiped out Konoha. How could he have time to pay attention to a small country?

The Land of Lightning, with the strongest economy, suffered the most: the Two-Tails was gone, and the Raikage died tragically. Adding to the woes, the Eight-Tails was also discovered to have disappeared, but they dared not let outsiders know about the last one, focusing solely on searching within their own country.

The future of Kumogakure is uncertain, so why would they have the extra energy to pay attention to a small country?

The Land of Water: They're still in "isolation mode" right now. They haven't even finished dealing with the mess left by the previous Mizukage. How can they have time to deal with things on the mainland?
