"Gulp..."
Looking at the several ninjas coming out of the carriage in front of him, Kakuzu swallowed unconsciously.
As a bounty ninja, he was relatively familiar with the powerful ones in the ninja world.
Orochimaru, Tsunade, Jiraiya...
The powerful figures who shocked the ninja world during the Second Ninja War were called "Konoha Sannin" by the demigod Hanzō of the Salamander. Each of them possessed the strength of a Kage-level expert.
Sakumo...
Konoha's renowned warrior, with a short blade, earned the title "Konoha's White Fang" in the ninja world. His strength was also Kage-level.
Minato...
The leader of Konoha's younger generation, powerful. Recently, with the help of Rasengan and the Flying Thunder God Technique, he demonstrated the power of a Kage-level expert and achieved great fame.
As for the young woman next to Senju Takuya, if he wasn't mistaken, she should be Sunagakure's Pakura. With her own strength and her Scorch Style Kekkei Genkai, she was almost at Kage-level strength.
Kakuzu rubbed his eyes in disbelief. The eight people in front of him, except for Senju Takuya and the white-haired kid, were all Kage-level experts...
For a moment, Kakuzu was confused. What do so many Kage-level experts want to do when they get together? Could it be that they are planning to assassinate the "Kage" of other villages?! That must be it. Otherwise, what other mission could bring so many strong people together? Even during the Great Ninja War, it was impossible!
"Hey, Kakuzu."
"Aren't you going to trade me for a bounty?"
"Why don't you take action?"
Takuya looked at Kakuzu with a gloomy expression and shouted loudly.
"Hehehe..."
"Misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding."
Kakuzu said with a smile.
"Misunderstanding?"
"Do we look retarded?"
Takuya snorted coldly.
Hearing his words, Kakuzu secretly groaned in his heart. Why was he so unlucky? He just wanted to make some pocket money, so why did he meet such a group of ruthless people? If he had known that there were so many Kage-level experts around Senju Takuya, even if he was offered a bounty of 10 million, he would never have had any evil intentions.
"Um... Senju-Sama, didn't you just say you had something to discuss with me?"
"I'm very interested."
Kakuzu glanced around as he spoke, as if he was considering which direction to run in later.
"Takuya-sama, leave this guy to me."
Sakumo stood up and said.
"OK."
Takuya nodded in agreement. He also wanted to see how strong this famous "Konoha's White Fang" was in the ninja world.
After getting Takuya's consent, Sakumo pulled out his chakra short blade.
"Snort!"
"Don't underestimate me!"
"Earth Style: Earth Spear!"
Kakuzu snorted and formed seals with his hands. The next second, the skin all over his body turned black, both attack and defense greatly enhanced.
However, Sakumo just snorted and disappeared instantly. The next second, a dazzling white light flashed, and Sakumo appeared behind Kakuzu. The chakra short blade in his hand had pierced Kakuzu's heart.
"So fast!"
Sakumo's speed surprised everyone present. He was like a real assassin, delivering a fatal blow.
Boom!
Kakuzu's body fell heavily to the ground.
"At this level, you tried to assassinate my grandfather?"
Tsunade curled her lips in disdain. This ninja named Kakuzu was really capable of bragging. Fortunately, she actually believed it just now.
"Takuya-sama, it has been solved."
"Shall we go?"
Sakumo returned to Takuya and asked softly.
"Sakumo, don't worry."
"This guy has five hearts."
"You just punctured one, so he can't die."
Takuya said quietly.
"What?"
Everyone present was a little surprised when they heard Takuya's words. He has five hearts?
"What he said is not all bragging. This guy is indeed a ninja of the same era as the First Hokage."
"He stole the Earth Grudge Fear technique from Takigakure."
"Capable of stealing other people's hearts to extend his own life."
"He can store up to five hearts."
"As long as all heart is not damaged, he cannot die."
Takuya said slowly.
His words made Orochimaru's eyes light up. Eternal life? Only, it seemed a little too weak. Really, even if a body without a Kekkei Genkai could live forever, it was nothing more than that.
At this moment, Kakuzu, who was lying on the ground, suddenly rose up and flew away in another direction.
"Want to run?"
Seeing this, Sakumo and Minato immediately chased after him. At the beginning, Kakuzu also fought back. However, after losing four hearts in a short period of time, he surrendered.
"As expected!"
Seeing Kakuzu being escorted back, Tsunade and the others were very surprised. This was the first time even they had heard of this secret technique.
"What are we going to do with this guy?"
Sakumo and the others looked at Senju Takuya.
"Kakuzu, I'll give you two choices."
"One is to work for me and I will pay you."
"The other one dies."
"Which one do you choose?"
Takuya asked, looking at Kakuzu.
"Work to earn a living! I choose the first one."
Kakuzu said immediately.
"Very good."
Takuya smiled and nodded. Subsequently, he put his hand on Kakuzu's head.
"What...what do you want to do?"
Kakuzu asked in a panic.
"It's nothing, just leaving something in your mind."
Takuya chuckled. Subsequently, a mark was carved in Kakuzu's mind. As long as he wanted to, he could detonate the mark at any time and turn Kakuzu's brain into a ball of mush.
After doing all this, Kakuzu looked hopeless. Oh, no. If he knew who the guy was that put a bounty on Senju Takuya on the black market, he would chop him into pieces! Wuwuwuwu... It's such a shame to become someone else's slave for a mere one million ryo.
"Kakuzu, you don't look very pretty."
Takuya asked with a smile.
Nonsense, how can you be happy if someone has carved a mark on your mind? Kakuzu complained in his mind.
"Don't look so gloomy."
"You work for me and I will pay you."
"Imprinting it on your mind is just to be on the safe side."
Takuya continued. Although Kakuzu did not dare to resist his orders, adding a jujube and a big stick can mobilize people's enthusiasm, right?
Wages? Do you know how much I can earn doing bounties in a year?
Kakuzu snorted disdainfully in his heart. However, out of respect for money, he still asked.
"How much are you going to pay me?"
"Tentatively, it will be 30 million ryo a year. If you do well, it will double."
What?!
Listening to Takuya's words, Kakuzu was confused again!
