Konoha: This Uchiha is not right

If Konoha can't withstand the pressure from other villages, they can just go south and "break into Konoha Mansion and capture the Ape Ancestor alive"!

If they could hold on, they would just watch Konoha and other villages fight desperately, and then they would start to take action when they were unable to do so.

However, there are many smart people in the ninja world. For example, the Iwagakure, which has always been at odds with them, seems to have already noticed their intentions.

Although Iwagakure has been fighting fiercely with Konoha, they are always on guard against the movements of Kumogakure.

Especially after Konoha eliminated the Sand Village, it also liberated the Iwagakure to some extent.

They can now deploy troops more freely and make more plans.

For example, this time, the Third Raikage and his men received information that the number of Iwagakure garrison troops in areas such as the Land of Demons seemed to have decreased.

If this information were released under normal circumstances, it probably would not attract too much attention. After all, the rotation of personnel at the border is very normal.

But now is a time of war, and any disturbance may cause a chain reaction. Especially the Third Raikage does not dare to underestimate that guy Ohnoki.

"Stay alert, we need to move quickly."

The Third Raikage is a man of few words. He has always been a man of action. In fact, this time he doesn't need to do anything.

However, as a person who holds old-school film ideas and believes that a filmmaker should lead by example, he has no choice but to carry out this task personally.

He was well aware that this mission was not without its dangers, and that carrying out such a mission as a shadow would bring more unpredictability, but he could see and observe more by coming in person.

He is also confident in his own strength. If he really encounters danger and trouble, he believes that he can escape unscathed!

As they moved forward quickly and silently, they had already climbed over a mountain, and the next moment they all stood there in a daze.

Because under the mountains, they were surprised to see densely packed ninjas gathering.

Looking around, there were at least tens of thousands of people in the dark crowd!

"Iwagakure... they actually gathered so many people, what do they want to do?"

The Third Raikage couldn't help but murmur in a low voice when he saw this scene. Everything in front of him really gave him a deep sense of crisis.

He didn't know what the Iwagakure Village was going to do, but he only knew that this large army of more than 10,000 people was secretly assembled, which would be devastating whether used against Konoha or against them.

Especially with such a secret gathering, if a surprise attack is launched, the consequences will be disastrous!

"Oops, we were discovered!"

Just as the Third Raikage was quickly thinking about the response strategy in his mind, suddenly a perceptive ninja next to him turned pale in an instant.

At this moment, the Iwagakure who were gathering suddenly turned their heads and looked towards the mountains one by one.

At the same time, a short figure suddenly floated up and finally stopped in mid-air.

"Third Raikage?" The short figure glanced from a distance, and then his voice resounded across the plain with the help of chakra.

Obviously, this person is the Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki!

Ohnoki was actually also very shocked, because he never expected that he would meet the Third Raikage in the Land of Earth.

Although he knew that the Third Raikage still maintained a strong ninja style, it didn't matter if you went to the front line to cooperate in the war, after all, this was also the function of the Kage.

But if you go to someone else's territory, then it's not just impolite, it's basically giving someone a big gift!

"Mr. Third Raikage, it's been a long time."

Thinking of this, Ōnoki's gaze towards the Third Raikage changed slightly.

"But since you are here, I think you wouldn't mind staying a little longer, so please move to the Iwagakure Village. I think that way I can better entertain you."

"Hmph!" The Third Raikage snorted coldly, and he said loudly: "Ohnoki, don't I know what you are doing? Why are you pretending at this time?"

"Mr. Third Raikage, I am sincerely inviting you."

Ohnoki smiled indifferently, but the Iwagakure troops on the ground had already started to move.

"I don't blame you for coming here uninvited. I just want to give you a better reception environment so that you can appear more respectable, right?"

"You and Sarutobi Hiruzen are both disgusting."

The Third Raikage shook his head, then he spoke in a deep voice.

"If I say no, do you think you can force me to stay?"

"I didn't force you to stay, but you came here uninvited."

Ōnoki still maintained that expression, but his voice seemed to be growing colder.

"I've already told you that since you're here, why don't you stay and be a good guest?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Rock Ninjas had already made their battle deployments. They quickly surrounded the mountain, apparently intending to block the Fourth Raikage and his men.

Now that such a big fish has come in, there is naturally no possibility for him to escape. Especially since their secret gathering has been exposed, it is also a huge risk for them!

"Lord Raikage, please leave!"

Looking at the Iwagakure army of more than ten thousand people, the people around the Third Raikage looked at each other, and then they spoke resolutely.

“Lord Raikage is very powerful and fast, he can definitely break through the defense.

I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to break through easily, but we can also cause trouble for them, Lord Raikage, please leave quickly!"

Listening to his subordinates' words, the Third Raikage was silent for a moment, but the next moment terrifying chakra burst out of his body.

In an instant, his whole body was covered with thunder, and these thunders formed a piece of armor that wrapped him up.

"Kage, never retreat!" The Third Raikage said in a deep voice: "That guy, Tobirama Senju, can cover the rear for his subordinates, so I can do the same."

"You go first, and leave the rest to me. This is an order from Ying!"

……

In the Konoha camp in the Land of Grass, Jiraiya was anxiously waiting for the Konoha Anbu or Root personnel to confirm Kakuzu's information.

The Uchiha clan did not have as many worries as Jiraiya. If nothing unexpected happened, then someone might have an accident.

Moreover, this accident brought about the biggest turning point in the entire Third Ninja World War.

But he doesn't have anything to do for the time being. After all, he still needs to wait for the opportunity, and he also needs to have a good talk with this guy Kakuzu.

All the way to the place where Kakuzu was imprisoned, Uchiha Mune walked in smoothly. No one was blind enough to stop him.

When he saw Kakuzu, he found that this guy was covered with anti-chakra clothing. He sat there without saying a word, looking like a sculpture.

"You're here?" Kakuzu naturally noticed the movement. His green eyes swept over Uchiha Zong, and then he said calmly: "Have you confirmed the news in Konoha?"

"Not yet. It takes time to investigate something like this." Uchiha Zong walked over, then he took out a few scrolls and unfolded them on the ground.

In an instant, rows of tadpole-like characters spread out in all directions, and Kakuzu immediately realized that it was a soundproof barrier.

"You're so careful. It seems you have some hidden thoughts that no one else knows about." Kakuzu was not surprised by this.

Ever since Uchiha Zong hinted at him to frame Danzo, he knew that although Uchiha Zong looked young, he was by no means a simple person.

"My idea is simple. You are a bounty hunter who gets paid to do things, and I can pay you to do things for me."

Uchiha Zong seemed very frank. He folded his arms across his chest and looked at Kakuzu calmly.

He had no intention of deceiving Kakuzu on this point. After all, Kakuzu had lived for so many years and had strength, experience, and knowledge, and he had no ambitions.

Kakuzu had lived too long, witnessed too many things in his long years, and because he was betrayed by his own village, this guy's beliefs had suffered a devastating blow.

Therefore, there is only one thing left in his mind now, and that is money. As long as you give him money, he will do things for you!

Anyone who meets such a person would probably think about whether or not to bring this guy over to their side.

Although Uchiha Zong doesn't have much money, don't forget that he is the new patriarch of the Uchiha clan.

The Uchiha clan's industry was still very strong. They not only owned land and houses in Konoha, but most importantly, they also had a lot of mineral resources in order to make weapons during the Warring States Period.

Although these mineral resources were handed over to the village for unified management after the establishment of Konoha, the Uchiha still received every penny of the dividends they were entitled to.

Even Tobirama Senju and Hiruzen Sarutobi, who hated Uchiha to the extreme, did not make things difficult for Uchiha in this matter.

Are you kidding? It’s not just the Uchiha family that handed over these mineral resources, other families did the same.

If they don't pay the money, the entire village's ninja clan will cause trouble for them.

So, as a person who owns mines, land, and industries, and who bought a school district house directly at the finishing line of others, is it difficult to support one person outside the village with that little money?

To be honest, Sarutobi Hiruzen was really cruel. Although the original work did not describe Sasuke's life in detail, I'm afraid he just had enough food and clothing.

What about the remaining money and the things collected by the Uchiha clan?

Could it be that it was taken away by Uchiha Itachi?

No, no?

“I’ve heard about your deeds, you have a very good reputation, and I also know that you value money very much.

Although I don’t quite understand why a ninja with your level of strength would value money so much.

But as a member of the Uchiha clan, I have plenty of money, and I can give you a fixed income every month.

And I won’t restrict your freedom, but…”

At this point, Uchiha Mune paused, but Kakuzu already understood exactly what he meant.

Kakuzu's eyes seemed a little confused. Someone actually wanted to recruit him?

'But' Even if Uchiha Muneto didn't say the following words, Kakuzu understood that he had to listen to Uchiha Muneto.

However, Kakuzu didn't mind this happening. If he really minded, he wouldn't have agreed to join the Akatsuki organization in the original work.

He was just thinking about how much benefit he would get from this matter and what this guy Uchiha Zong would ask him to do.

"What is the scope of my task?" Kakuzu thought for a moment, and his eyes instantly became more serious: "If you want me to do something, you have to give me a general direction, and I also have to know my specific income."

"I said, I won't interfere with your freedom. If you want to go and hunt those people who are bountied by the black market, go ahead. If you want to read a book, go ahead."

Uchiha Zong said calmly, but when he directly said what Kakuzu was interested in, Kakuzu's eyes changed again.

"Just don't die, and once I personally give you a mission, you must stop what you are doing and do it. I will charge you extra for these missions based on their difficulty.

If it is a life-threatening mission, I will inform you in advance so that you can prepare. As for your specific income, I think we should talk about it after the war is over.

And I can also promise that I will let you leave here after the war is over. Now I wonder what you think?"

The conditions given by Uchiha Zong can be said to be full of sincerity. After all, Brother Xun once said: Sincerity is the greatest killer move.

If the entire ninja world knew that he had used money to buy such a strong man to work for him, they would probably have gone crazy to grab him.

But Kakuzu is also low-key enough. After all, it is not good to be too famous in his line of work.

Besides, money is really nothing to a ninja. If you really want to be cruel enough to ignore your reputation and go talk to the daimyo...

Just one sentence like 'You don't want your body to be broken into pieces because of a little money' is enough to make the daimyo happily take the money, and he might even worry that what he gave is not enough!

Kakuzu thought for a long time, and finally he nodded and said: "I agree with your idea, but I also want to reserve my opinion. We must have a good talk about money."

"No problem, let's wait until the war is over and talk about it slowly." Uchiha Zong nodded with a smile. He knew that he had taken care of the matter.

This made him feel very happy. There was really no other ninja in the whole ninja world who could subdue such a powerful ninja with money!

"That's right." But just when Uchiha Zong was happy, he remembered something else: "Is there really no shadow of Danzo behind your action this time?"

"I really don't know about this." Kakuzu didn't know that his future boss had been trying to frame Danzo, but he could only tell the truth: "I didn't even meet Ōnoki. I met Huang Tu."

"Actually..." Uchiha Mune looked at Kakuzu seriously, then said faintly: "This is possible."

"This may be possible..." Kakuzu looked at Uchiha Mune with his green eyes, and his tone began to change: "But..."

"but?"

"You have to pay more..."

……

"I never thought... something like this would happen..."

Time flies, but today the situation seems a little unusual.

In the command room of the Konoha camp, Jiraiya sat there in a daze, while next to him, Uchiha Mune seemed very calm.

After he dealt with Kakuzu and got what he wanted, Uchiha Zong began to wait with peace of mind.

He must deal with Danzo, but definitely not now. Besides, Kakuzu's one-sided words will definitely not be able to do anything to Danzo.

In particular, Kakuzu's words are full of loopholes, which will take time to modify and make up for.

Therefore, Uchiha Mune was not in a hurry. Anyway, someone had to take the blame for his attack, so how could Guoying be left out?

But as he was waiting silently, what was supposed to happen finally happened.
