Kakuzu: I Have Been Fighting Chiba For A Long Time

Chapter 92: Kakuzu: I Have Been Fighting Chiba For A Long Time

Kakuzu played dead like a professional. After falling from the tree, he remained motionless and assumed the appearance of a corpse.

"I pretend to be so professional, so I should be able to pass by?"

While lying quietly, Kakuzu did not forget to give a thumbs up to his wit.

Step! Step! Step!

He heard footsteps approaching. He knew that the opponent was going to make a move.

After all, he had just witnessed Chiba cutting those five assassins in half.

Puff!

A piece of shit slashed down and went straight for Kakuzu's second heart.

"Coincidence! This must be a coincidence! Besides, he should leave after cutting the heart..."

Kakuzu made a judgment in his heart and felt that his guess should be right.

Puff!

His third heart was also broken.

"Why did he fix so many knives on me?"

Kakuzu couldn't understand. The five people on the opponent's side each wielded a knife, but when it came to him, there were so many knives. It's not fair. Just as he thought of this...

Puff!

His fourth heart... broken!

Now, he only had his last heart. If the other party came after him again, he would truly be finished.

"Brother, don't kill me!"

At this moment, Kakuzu yelled in a hurry, fearing that it would be too late and he would end up dead.

"Huh? I thought you were playing dead."

Chiba smiled, and his hand movements ceased. From the moment he activated the feces control, Kakuzu's five hearts were exposed to Chiba's gaze.

Playing dead? That was of no use to Chiba. Kakuzu opened his eyes, his face pale, and tried to get up. But his limbs lacked strength, and he struggled for a long time without success. Forget it, he would just lie there.

"Your name is Kakuzu, right? I heard you're good with managing money."

Looking at Kakuzu on the ground, Chiba spoke up. Kakuzu froze. He never expected Chiba to know about him.

"Yes."

Kakuzu didn't deny it because even if he were to die, he wouldn't trade his life for money. He believed that money was more important than loyalty. Chiba pondered for a moment and came up with a brilliant idea.

He had traveled a long way and been tricked into this situation. He couldn't just return empty-handed, could he? And Kakuzu in front of him could become his spokesperson for collecting dung outside the village. Thinking of this, Chiba tossed out eight large gold bars.

"Gold bars!"

Seeing the long gold bars, Kakuzu's eyes widened immediately.

"Kakuzu, this is a 1% deposit. You help me collect the feces, and I will pay you the remaining 800 later!"

Kakuzu was dumbfounded. His mind was spinning. Such large gold bars, eight hundred of them? Just to get himself paid?

This was even faster than picking up money. It was like lying on the ground and having money fall from the sky. When he finally regained his senses, Tian had already left.

"I'm leaving now? Where's the contact information? Hey! When will you give me the 800 gold bars?" Kakuzu was anxious.

Was there any business like this? At the very least, leave some contact information.

"Forget it! I'll be able to find him when the time comes."

Kakuzu knew Chiba's name, appearance, and village. Those three things were enough. As he was attracted by the gold, Kakuzu quickly stood up.

"This gold bar is really long~~"

(TL/N: Hmmmm…)

Stuffing the gold bars into his sleeves with seriousness, Kakuzu was about to leave. However, after walking a few steps, he stopped once again.

"The five people from earlier seem to have rewards on the black market..."

Underground Exchange.

To explain why there was such a large order at such a high price, the gold exchange updated the information about Chiba.

Konoha Village: Chiba!

Reward: 50 million taels!

Ability: Manure control!

Weaknesses: Fear of Lightning Style, Illusion, and Stealth Assassination!

Achievements: Killed Rosa, defeated Sand Shinobi, and frontline troops, defeated Third Kazekage!

When this updated information was released, a group of assassins cursed.

"This is a trap! I almost fell for it."

"One person defeated the Sand Shinobi front-line troops? And also defeated the Third Kazekage? Such a strong individual for only 50 million taels?"

"I want to cancel the mission! Who's going to die?"

Asking for trouble...

"I don't know which idiot issued this reward. To offer such a small amount of money as a reward for a Kage-level expert?"

Originally, they had been crazed and rushed from all over the Land of Fire just to accept this reward.

But now, no one wanted to take it. Jōnin with good strength offered a reward price of 30 million taels, but this Chiba, a Kage-level powerhouse, was only offered 50 million taels. This person could even defeat the Third Kazekage; he was definitely a top powerhouse at the Kage level.

"We're not bad. At least we saw the updated information. But before that, six people went to assassinate him..." Someone gloated and said.

"Then they must be done for~~"

"Which six people were they? Have rewards been offered to them? We could collect their heads."

"Yes! Let's form a team!"

"Count me in~~"

These people changed their stance quickly, going from directly assassinating Chiba to collecting the heads of the six people.

Engaged in assassination work all year round, many people were also on the reward list.

But many assassins had methods to conceal their identities, which made it difficult for others to recognize each other.

Only the top assassins would reveal their faces because they were very confident in their own strength and not afraid of others' assassinations.

Suddenly, a figure entered the gold exchange office. This person carried five heads on his back, had an extremely indifferent expression, and exuded a powerful aura.

Moreover, the person didn't even bother to cover their face, instantly recognized by the surrounding assassins.

"It's Kakuzu!"

"I remember him, he was one of the six people who went to assassinate Chiba!"

"The five heads on his body... do they belong to the five assassins?"

"He came back alive?"

Whispers and looks of awe filled the surroundings. To be able to assassinate Kage-level powerhouses and get away with it, this person's strength was truly terrifying.

"Master Kakuzu, is the mission complete?" The receptionist smiled.

"Hmph!"

Giving the other party a disdainful glance, Kakuzu snorted coldly.

"Your intelligence is seriously flawed! I fought against that Chiba for a long time, but I didn't expect him to fly! He's a lucky one!"
