Killing his way through the ninja world, starting from being adopted by the second generation!

"Two hundred million taels, I'm coming right away."

He was already fantasizing about using the Earth Grudge Fear to kill Tobirama Senju and then obtaining a large bounty.

Two hundred million taels of silver would be enough to make your hands sore from counting money...

This number is enough to drive any desperate person mad.

Inside his body, the black tentacles of the Earth Grudge Worm twitched slightly, as if excited for the battle that was about to take place.

Five hearts beat in the chest cavity, each carrying a different type of chakra, representing the five types of chakra: wind, fire, lightning, water, and earth.

A beautiful scene appeared before Kakuzu's eyes.

Tobirama Senju was killed by the Earth Grudge Fear that he himself controlled, and his red pupils began to dilate.

He would use the Earth Grudge to dig out his heart and then replace the water-attribute heart inside him.

Tobirama Senju's Water Release techniques are incredibly powerful, and it's believed that his strength will be greatly enhanced after acquiring this heart!

We've found you!

Kakuzu's eyes lit up as he spotted several small black dots in the distance.

"Tsk, there are a lot of people..."

Unexpectedly, Tobirama Senju brought so many followers with him, but he did not give up and instead sped up his journey.

After acquiring the Earth Grudge Fear, Kakuzu became extremely confident in his own strength.

He believed he could eliminate Tobirama Senju as quickly as possible before his followers could react. Once Tobirama was dead, the others would be no threat.

Unfortunately, the gold exchange only had a bounty on Tobirama Senju, otherwise we could have made even more money on this trip!

Just as Kakuzu was running towards them at top speed, Tobirama Senju, who was on his way, noticed something was amiss.

He suddenly stopped walking and turned to look into the distance.

"Tobirama-sensei, what's wrong?" the group asked, puzzled.

Why did the teacher suddenly stop?

Could it be... that the assassin has reappeared?!

Renya's gaze fell on the Second Raikage, and she said coldly, "Is this the work of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning again?"

Upon hearing this, the Second Raikage scratched his head awkwardly, unsure of what to say.

He felt that Lian Ye was right and had no way to refute her for the time being, so he could only show an awkward smile.

It's obvious that the Daimyo learned of the Raikage's failed mission and sent another assassin to kill Tobirama Senju.

Lianye looked at the dense forest in the distance, wondering who the daimyo had sent this time.

Even the Second Raikage was no match for them, so could there be someone even stronger in Kumogakure?!

The Hidden Cloud Village has always let strength speak for itself. Becoming the Raikage means that one's strength has surpassed that of most people, which is why one is qualified to serve as the Raikage.

Only absolute power can win people's hearts...

If the Second Raikage, the strongest person in Kumogakure at the moment, has failed, how can the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning find someone even stronger?

As time passed, Lian Ye finally spotted the assassin's figure under her curious gaze.

He was stunned the moment he saw who it was.

This assassin looks familiar...

Isn't that Kakuzu?

It's quite a coincidence that the two of them would meet in such a setting!

When Renya noticed Kakuzu, Kakuzu also noticed Renya next to Tobirama Senju. His pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints, and his mouth under his mask opened slightly.

Uchiha brat!

The experience of almost being poisoned to death is still vivid in my mind. I still remember the feeling of my body convulsing uncontrollably, foaming at the mouth, and about to die.

If it weren't for Hashirama Senju's magnanimity in allowing the Uchiha brat to produce the antidote, he would have died long ago.

He thought the matter was over and dragged his badly injured body back to the village to report. But that damned brat took advantage of the fact that the poison in his body hadn't subsided and came back to demand money for the antidote.

The line, "You need to pay for my antidote," remains unforgettable for Kakuzu to this day.

Circumstances forced him to agree, leaving him with a debt of up to thirty million taels of silver.

Upon encountering Renya again, Kakuzu decided to teach the brat a lesson and show him what he was capable of!

"Kakuzu, long time no see!" Renya greeted him with a smile. "When are you going to pay me back the money you owe me?"

Everyone looked at Renye in disbelief, then at Kakuzu not far away.

So these two people not only know each other, but are also creditor and debtor.

Even Tobirama Senju was somewhat surprised. When did this kid lend money to others?

You know, this kid uses all the money he earns from missions to research and develop poisons, so where would he find spare money to lend to others?

It's good enough that he doesn't borrow money from anyone.

Kakuzu's lips twitched slightly. He took out a scroll from his waist and tossed it to Renya. "There are fifteen million taels in here. The rest of the money will be returned to you soon."

Lianye took the scroll with a bewildered look on his face. He hadn't expected that Kakuzu would actually pay him back.

He initially approached Kakuzu with the intention of robbing him and demanding money, but he abandoned the idea after learning that Kakuzu was poor.

As for the money that Kakuzu owed, he had no hope of ever being able to pay it back.

After all, the ninja world is so vast, finding one person is quite difficult...

As it turned out, the two met by chance today. Renye just casually mentioned it, and Kakuzu actually paid back the money.

Kakuzu looked at Renya's shocked expression and sneered disdainfully, "Paying back debts is a matter of course. I'm not that shameless!"

He is quite principled when it comes to money.

The money will be temporarily held by the Uchiha brat. Once he pays off the remaining 15 million, the debt relationship between the two parties will be terminated.

Then we can take the money back!

You could even spare the kid's life and make him work for you to pay off his debts.

Kakuzu couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth beneath his mask, already envisioning the scene of his successful revenge.

If Renya knew what Kakuzu was thinking, she would laugh her head off.

This guy clearly hasn't paid attention to the wars in the ninja world, otherwise he would never have said something like that.

In reality, Kakuzu hadn't really paid attention to the battlefield situation; he was always busy accepting bounty missions.

Every day is spent either killing for money or on the way to killing for money. Where is there time to pay attention to the battlefield?

As a rogue ninja from Takigakure, the war was no longer his concern.

I've only occasionally heard about battlefield situations while doing bounty missions.

For example, news such as Konoha's victory over Sunagakure and the death of the First Raikage of Kumogakure...

I haven't learned the specifics at all.

"Kid, this is none of your business." Kakuzu glanced at Renya, then his gaze fell on Tobirama Senju.

"Second Hokage of Konoha, prepare to die!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others immediately became alert, realizing that this guy was up to no good and wanted to assassinate Tobirama-sensei!

Several people stood in front of Tobirama Senju, determined not to let him succeed!

Seeing this, Lianye couldn't help but admire Kakuzu.

Having failed to assassinate Hashirama Senju, they are now attempting to assassinate Tobirama Senju.

He felt that the corner was doomed.

After all, this old Tobirama isn't like his older brother Hashirama, who's a saint.

Don't let all five hearts be stabbed to pieces...

Chapter 199 Random Attacks?

Kakuzu was still unaware of the seriousness of the situation, his eerie green pupils fixed on Tobirama Senju behind the group.

Although Tobirama Senju was Hashirama Senju's younger brother, he did not believe that Hashirama's strength surpassed his own.

Taking some risks is normal when it comes to making money!

Even if he is truly defeated, he still has five lives.

It's just the loss of a few hearts; that's nothing compared to two hundred million.

He dared to assassinate even the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju, so he's not afraid of his younger brother, Tobirama Senju.

……

"Second Hokage, your head is worth two hundred million ryo. I'll take it today." Kakuzu raised his hand with a cold smile, the black tentacles on his back writhing wildly.

Lian Ye was somewhat surprised. Was this old guy really that valuable?

It's worth two hundred million! No wonder the big shot wanted to assassinate him.

The daimyo of the Land of Lightning has so much money he doesn't know what to do with it; it seems we'll have to squeeze a huge sum out of him when the time comes.

To be able to spend 200 million to issue a bounty, Da Ming is truly wealthy.

We must find a way to make him return the money.

The Second Raikage subtly distanced himself from the group, as he was currently severely injured and unable to fight, and did not want to be caught in the crossfire.

He still wants to go back alive and kill Daimyo.

We absolutely cannot die here.

Thinking of this, he deliberately increased the distance between them.

Well, fighting from this position won't affect him.

……

"Did you think you could get away with hiding behind these brats?" Kakuzu sneered.

Before he could finish speaking, the black tentacles behind him attacked Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others at incredible speed.

Faced with the tentacles' attack, the group immediately dodged.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kakuzu rushed towards Tobirama Senju, closing the distance in the blink of an eye.

"I'll take your head!"

Tobirama Senju has a bounty of 200 million, and he is determined to get this huge sum of money!

"Arrogant!" Tobirama Senju sneered, instantly completing the hand seals, "Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"

A high-pressure water blade swept out, and Kakuzu quickly dodged it while simultaneously controlling his tentacles to attack.

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others were about to join the battle, Renya stopped them.

"Don't be nervous, I can handle it."

It's really unfair for a group of people to bully Kakuzu; he doesn't want Kakuzu to be beaten to death by a mob.

No matter what, they still owe me fifteen million.

This is no small sum of money; it's enough to develop several more types of poison.

If he gets beaten to death, who will pay him back?

Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others looked at Renya with strange expressions, feeling that this guy was an undercover agent sent by the other side, but they had no evidence.

With that old guy's strength, there's no way he could be killed by Kakuzu.

Although Kakuzu now possesses the Earth Grudge Fear and is much stronger than before, he is still no match for Tobirama Senju.

As long as you don't fall for information asymmetry, it's almost impossible to make a mistake...

Speaking of information asymmetry, it reminded him of the characteristics of Di Yuan Yu, and he felt it was necessary to tell this old guy, lest things really go wrong and things explode.
