This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

After many twists and turns, we finally arrived at this small town.

Of course, Heitu didn't realize that everything was just her "self-conceit".

There were no "pursuers" behind her at all, and she was unable to escape from Mizunoe Ryosuke's control from beginning to end.

Sometimes, ignorance may be a bliss.

As he was thinking, a wave of fatigue came over him and Heitu gradually fell asleep.

Night is a time for rest for most creatures, but for those active in the underground world, it is the best time to act and do things.

Because night is the most suitable time for this group of shady rebel ninjas to act.

In recent days, a bounty has caused a stir in the underground world, and many people have set their sights on the person carrying this "fat sheep".

Among them are also many rebel ninjas who have been famous in the underground world for a long time.

After all, the reward is as high as 100 million taels!

But it is not easy to find someone in such a vast sea of ​​people.

For the past few days, the ninja world has been looking for the pretty Iwagakure girl on the wanted list.

Finally, a piece of news spread throughout the underground world at an extremely fast speed tonight.

A gang of thugs in the Rain Country spread the news that they had information about a "fat sheep" in their hands.

At that moment, the entire underground world was in an uproar!

Countless bounty hunters heard the news and rushed to the Rain Country.

Under the rain curtain of the Rain Country, a man who covered his entire body tightly with a straw raincoat was galloping in the night.

As he galloped, a hint of greed flashed in his fluorescent green pupils from time to time.

After all, it’s a fat sheep worth 100 million taels!

He is determined to get this huge wealth!

At the beginning, after seeing the bounty at an underground exchange somewhere in the Fire Nation, he made up his mind that he must get this fat sheep!

At this moment, after the news of the "fat sheep" spread, he immediately rushed from the Fire Kingdom to the Rain Kingdom without stopping.

Fortunately, the Fire Nation is adjacent to the Rain Nation. At his full speed, it didn't take long for him to reach the territory of the Rain Nation.

After traveling all night, he finally arrived at the place where the news came at dawn.

——An ordinary small town in the Rain Country.

The journey from the Land of Fire to the Land of Rain cannot be said to be far, but it is definitely not short either.

Even for a ninja, it would take two or three days to travel.

But it only took him one night to cross the border between the Fire Kingdom and the Rain Kingdom and arrive at this small town in the Rain Kingdom.

And the reason is very simple.

Because he is very strong, or at least he is stronger than most people in the ninja world.

To some ninjas, he is a living legend.

Because his name is——Kakuzu!

A journey that takes ten days for an ordinary Genin can be reached in three days for a Jonin, and a journey that takes three days for a Jounin can be reached in one day for a Kage-level strongman.

This is the difference in basic qualities brought about by different strengths.

There is no doubt that Kakuzu is a Kage-level warrior.

Moreover, he is a renegade ninja, an extraordinary renegade ninja.

As early as the beginning of the ninja world's pacification by Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, Kakuzu was already active in the ninja world. At that time, Kakuzu was still a Takinin and had the title of "Takinin Hero" in Takinin Village.

Even in the entire ninja world, he enjoys a certain status.

But something happened afterwards that completely changed everything.

At that time, the young Kakuzu received a secret mission arranged by the village. The content of the mission still sounds shocking even today.

That is - assassinating the first Hokage, Senju Tobirama!

At this point, if 810 Jiao had any brains, he would have realized that he had become an outcast of the village.

However, Kakuzu was young and hot-blooded at the time, and still could not see through the darkness behind the village, so he took on this task beyond his capabilities.

The result is naturally needless to say

At that time, the gap between Kakuzu and Hashirama Senju was basically the same as the gap between a faucet and the Three Gorges Dam.

The battle between the two was certainly not on the same level.

Kakuzu only had time to throw a shuriken from eight hundred miles away before he was almost killed instantly by Hashirama's shadow clone.

Maybe it was luck, or maybe Hashirama Senju didn't want to crush this "ant" of his.

In this way, Kakuzu miraculously saved his life.

Later, Kakuzu figured it all out. He knew he was just a discarded pawn of the village, so he decided to go all out and returned to Takigakure to steal the village's secret technique, "Earth's Grudge," and then became a rebel.

Chapter 433, I am a legend

Thanks to Takinin's secret technique "Earth Grudge", Kakuzu's strength was able to grow to the true level of Kage.

Not only that, the secret technique Di Yu Yuan also brought Kakuzu a long life. To this day, the once powerful first generation Hokage Hashirama Senju has fallen and disappeared, but this "little ant" is still living a happy life in the ninja world.

Time has changed so much, and the changes in the world are really sad.

There is no need to mention how powerful the God of Ninja, Hashirama Senju, is, and because of "that battle" with Hashirama Senju that year, Kakuzu became famous in the ninja world.

After all, the only person in the entire ninja world who could fight with Hashirama Senju and escape unscathed seemed to be Uchiha Madara.

As for what kind of existence Uchiha Madara is, there is naturally no need to say more.

At first glance, after rounding off, Kakuzu seems to be equated with Uchiha Madara.

After experiencing a life-and-death ordeal, Kakuzu completely saw through human nature and became thicker-skinned.

He brags about his "glorious resume" to everyone he meets.

Many people who knew the truth at the time naturally scoffed at Kakuzu's shamelessness. Hashirama Senju naturally didn't care about the clamor of a small character like Kakuzu, so he just let him do it.

Over time, as those who knew the truth at that time gradually died of old age, Kakuzu, who survived to the present, became a "legend in the ninja world" because of his record of not being able to die after fighting with the first generation.

In the underground exchange, there are many ninjas who are unaware of the power of the ninja and directly regard Kakuzu as an idol to worship.

One can only sigh that fate is really a cruel trick on us.

Because he already had the strength of a Kage, Taki's side had no ability to do anything to Kakuzu, so they could only go with Kakuzu.

After the battle with Hashirama, Kakuzu completely recognized who he was and no longer thought about stirring up trouble in the ninja world. Instead, he devoted himself completely to satisfying his own "pleasure".

And Kakuzu has only one pleasure - making money.

From then on, Kakuzu began to be active in the underworld, earning money by hunting bounties.

Even in Kakuzu's long "working" career, the high bounty of this mission is enough to rank at the top.

After all, on that bounty list, there are few characters with bounties exceeding 100 million who are easy to deal with.

If a real fight breaks out, it's hard to say who will hold whose head.

And the most important thing is that the huge bounty of 100 million taels is just for a mere jonin. How could Kakuzu not be tempted?

So, Kakuzu risked his life and managed to reach the Rain Country from the Fire Country in just one night.

Based on the information Kakuzu got, he came to a gambling house in the town, looking for someone who claimed to know the whereabouts of the fat sheep.

For the ruffians and gangsters active at the grassroots level of the ninja world, they are just ordinary people and do not have the same powerful combat power as ninjas.

It would be difficult to make a living by relying on the bounties from underground exchanges. Therefore, apart from some low bounties from underground exchanges, this group of people had to think of other ways to make a living.

The means they use to make a living are naturally very limited, and in the final analysis, they are nothing more than "H, gambling, and drugs".

Brothels, casinos, opium dens

Places like this are where these people gather.

Kakuzu pushed open the dilapidated wooden door of the casino fence and slowly walked in.

But when Kakuzu walked into the smoke-filled casino, he frowned.

The narrow space is filled with all kinds of gambling tools, and these tools are often covered with a thick layer of yellow grease, which makes people feel repulsed when they see it.

Simple, dirty, crowded

Everywhere you look, you see something dirty and dilapidated.

His "part-time job" career allowed Kakuzu to accumulate rich hunting experience. He understood that sometimes these seemingly insignificant ordinary people actually had intelligence channels that even ninjas could not compare with.

Therefore, he had no doubt whether this group of people really had information about the "fat sheep".

As for dirtiness and clutter, those were not even within Kakuzu's consideration. After all, to a certain extent, when it came to the degree of "repulsiveness", these were nothing compared to him.

The reason why Kakuzu frowned was that a large number of people had gathered in this narrow space.

They were either standing or sitting, and the moment they saw Kakuzu, they all looked at him with cold eyes.

And these people are obviously not ordinary people.

Kakuzu glanced over and could tell from the smell of blood on these people that they were not gamblers.

But his "kind".

They gathered here for one reason.

Thinking of this, Kakuzu had figured everything out, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, they were just a group of thugs, yet they dared to act like they had a rare commodity and ask for a high price in front of them.

Although murderous intent filled his heart, Kakuzu suppressed it and found an inconspicuous corner in the room to sit down and mop the floor.

About ten minutes later, a fat man with yellow teeth and tattoos all over his face appeared in the room.

"My Lords, please forgive me for the poor hospitality!"

The obese man said with a smile, his eyebrows lowered and he looked like a lackey.

But everyone was not stupid, they all knew what the fat man was thinking, so they all stared at the dying fat man with murderous eyes.

Chapter 434: People die for money and birds die for food

The wages of avarice is death.

This is absolutely true. Faced with this "fat sheep" worth 100 million taels, everyone wants to get a piece of the pie.

Even this group of thugs who are just mortals are like this.

I don’t know whether to say this group of people are stupid or smart.

Although they learned about Kurotsuchi's information by coincidence, these thugs knew that it was tantamount to seeking death to try to deal with a Jonin with their two skills.

But they also couldn't accept giving up so directly, so driven by their inner greed, they tried to turn this information into money.

So, under the inspiration of a "thug", they decided to spread the news, and planned to raise the price and make a fortune by this means.

Sure enough, a group of bounty hunters who had set their sights on this fat sheep worth 100 million came to the door one after another.

In just a short period of time, the dilapidated casino was packed with people.

A fat man with a tattoo covering his face and fat all over his body, baring his big yellow teeth, came to the middle of a group of bounty hunters with a flattering smile.

He is the owner of this casino and also the leader of the town's ruffian forces.

The fat man glanced around the casino, looking at this group of bounty hunters of all kinds, all filled with murderous intent. His seemingly flattering eyes were actually filled with greed.

In fact, he knew in his heart that among the desperate criminals in the room, he probably couldn't afford to offend even one of them.

If anyone had challenged him, he would have died on the spot today.

But even so, he still planned to take the risk and try to gain the benefits.

Greed is the insatiable desire of mankind. This is why people, driven by the evil thought called "greed", will step into the abyss.

Greed does not bring courage, but rather foolishness that leads to destruction.

"My Lords, my Lords!"

"Please forgive me for the poor hospitality!"
