Mayuri's card from Naruto

Chapter 88 Target Kakuzu
"Is there anything you want to ask, Shisui?"

After separating from the Akatsuki organization and setting off again, Kane looked at Shisui who seemed to be hesitant to speak and asked.

"Is it really okay? Handing over this technology to this organization?" After hearing what Lu Nie said, Shisui did not hide his inner doubts, "According to the intelligence, the status of Akatsuki in the Rain Country is not recognized."

"Are you worried about Hanzo?" Lu Nie heard Shisui's reminder.

In Konoha, Hanzo, the leader of the Rain Ninja, is as famous as the Kages of the other four nations. After all, when the three ninjas were young, they fought against one person together and still lost miserably. If Hanzo had not hesitated in the end, and Tsunade's medical ninjutsu was also outstanding, the existence of the three ninjas would be a question.

"Yes." Shisui nodded.

Under the influence of Orochimaru and Kagane, Shisui has grown in character. In his opinion, the Rain Ninjas will never allow a ninja organization like Akatsuki to grow and become active. The reason why they haven't taken action now may be due to some other reasons.

But putting all that aside, Shisui had a good impression of the three people who founded the Akatsuki organization, especially Yahiko. The peace concept proposed by the other party was consistent with what he pursued.

And the other party is practicing its own peace concept in practice.

"If the village really needs that Paper Style Ninja, we should invite them to join Konoha." Shisui paused and continued.

He said it very tactfully, but even the carefree Hongdou could hear his true intention.

"This is kidnapping, Shisui!" Anko's words made Shisui's face freeze.

His suggestion was to find a way to invite Konan to join Konoha and obtain Konoha's protection. This was difficult for other ninjas, but as disciples taught by Jiraiya and with the endorsement of Master Jiraiya, it was not difficult for the three of them to join Konoha and be regarded as Konoha's own people.

He could also see that Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan had a very deep relationship. As long as one of them could be persuaded to join, the other two would not stop him and would even consider joining.

What Hongdou was thinking was the same as what he was going to do, to forcibly tie someone up and bring him to Konoha.

"It's difficult." Lu Nie shook his head. He did not elaborate on the troubles behind the three people, but changed his angle and said: "They will not give up the Akatsuki organization they built and go back to Konoha Village with us.

Although Yahiko seems to be easy to talk to, he must be a very stubborn person. If Xiaonan is willing to leave with us, he will not stop her and will even bless her. But he will never leave.

And under the emotional bond, Xiaonan will not separate from him and Nagato. So the invitation is doomed to fail. As for the action..."

"Are you worried about Jiraiya-sama?" Shisui thought he understood Lu Nie's concerns. Given their status, it was indeed not easy for them to attack Jiraiya's disciples.

Lu Nie did not correct Shisui's guess. It couldn't be said that the eyes hidden under Nagato's bangs were the legendary Rinnegan. They might not be able to defeat them if they confronted them, right?

He had no intention of falling out with Yahiko and the other two.

"What about the Rain Ninja and Hanzo?" Hongdou suddenly asked, "If they continue like this, they will clash with the Rain Ninja sooner or later."

"That depends on their strength and whether our reminders are useful." Lu Nie said as he hurried on his way.

"Where are we going next?" Realizing that Lu Nie had no intention of returning to the village for the time being, Shisui asked as he sped up and followed Lu Nie.

"Let's go find the underground money exchange located at the border of Rain Country and Konoha." Lu Nie replied: "I need to find a ninja."

The ninja world's employment is of course mainly based on the five major ninja villages, but there are many times when wandering ninjas, renegade ninjas from ninja villages, etc., also need money to live.

The underground gold exchange is to serve these ninjas who are independent of the ninja village. Their partners include not only nobles and merchants from various countries, but also bounties issued by other ninja villages.

The one who made the most thorough use of the underground gold exchange was the Sandaime Tsuchikage. Especially during the war, the Hidden Rock Village would hire a large number of wandering ninjas and rebellious ninjas to attack and harass enemy ninjas.

Although there are good and bad people in the underground gold exchange, there are also powerful ninjas who are comparable to jonin or even elite jonin.

Kakuzu is such a powerful ninja.

As an evergreen in the gold exchange, he has outlasted many managers of the gold exchange. As an old customer, he enjoys the highest level of intelligence treatment in the underground gold exchange.

Wherever there is a big bounty, he will appear. His high task completion rate and excellent reputation have made him a legend among the managers of underground gold exchange offices.

Therefore, it is not difficult to find such a person for a large ninja village like Konoha.

In other words, even if Orochimaru used his own power, he could provide Lu Nie with the corresponding intelligence and information. Of course, this intelligence and information was limited to his position and identity.

"Come out!"

After exchanging money at the underground money exchange, Kakuzu came out carrying a box and stopped in a dense forest.

The war period was the time when traitors like him worked the most. The wars between the Sand Ninja, the Kumo Ninja, Konoha, and the Iwagakure caused a huge increase in the number of tasks in the underground black market.

During this period, Kakuzu almost always roamed around the area near the battlefield.

At least a dozen ninjas from various villages had died at his hands during this period, so he didn't find it strange to be targeted under such circumstances. It didn't matter to him whether the information was leaked or not, after all, he never trusted others.

"Is it Konoha's little brat?"

Seeing the three people appearing in front of him, Kakuzu looked at the forehead protectors of the three people and narrowed his eyes. But the next moment, he turned around and left without hesitation.

"Hey, why are you leaving?" Hongdou was a little confused when she saw Kakuzu turning around and leaving without looking back. Are these rebellious ninjas so good-tempered now?
"You want my head?" Kakuzu paused, turned his head and asked coldly.

Hongdou was a little stunned by the question. She looked at Lu Nie blankly, asking, "Do you want to take action?"
"Mr. Kakuzu, can I study you?" Lu Ni ignored Anko who was looking at him, and asked Kakuzu in front of him very seriously.

"Research?" Kakuzu's face instantly turned cold.

"Let me see." Kakuzu carefully checked the bounty task list in his hand. "What a shame, it seems my memory is correct! You are just a bunch of rookies. Either there is no bounty, or the bounty is too low and those guys didn't offer it to me."

"Fighting with you is a waste of my time. Time is money!" Kakuzu carefully put the box of money in his hand aside, walked back and stretched his body, "It seems that you will not become big figures in the future, so it is not worth saving your lives. In this case, I will get rid of all you little brats in one go!" Fire Style: Head Hardworking!
As Kakuzu spoke, he quickly formed seals with his fingers, and almost instantly, a spark of fire burst out of his mouth. After leaving his mouth, it instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire, rushing towards Kakui and the other two.

Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!
At the same moment Kakuzu made his move, Shisui, who was standing next to Kakuzu, instantly appeared in front of him. At the same time, seals with both hands were formed almost at the same time as Kakuzu's. A rotating water curtain rose from under his feet, rotating to protect him, Kakuzu and Anko behind him in all directions.

The raging sea of ​​fire and the swirling water collided with each other, making a sizzling sound.

The next moment, the rotating water curtain turned into a water dragon in the air, roaring and rushing down into the air. A large amount of water extinguished the sea of ​​fire. In the steaming water mist, both sides instantly began to move quickly.

"Those eyes are the Sharingan!"

Kakuzu's voice echoed among the trees, and compared to his previous reluctant attitude, there was unexpectedly some excitement in his tone now.

"This reminds me of the man who was once as famous as the Shodaime Hokage."

Fire Style: Phoenix Claw Red.

Shisui ignored Kakuzu's somewhat nostalgic tone. After the Sharingan in his eye sockets captured Kakuzu's movement trajectory, he immediately threw out a dozen shurikens. At the same time, he formed seals with his fingers, his chest and abdomen swelled, and the next moment he spewed out balls of fire, instantly wrapping up the shurikens he had thrown out.

Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!
A gust of wind rushed out from in front of Kakuzu, and Shisui's fire-style ninjutsu was shaken by the strong wind and dissipated, but the shuriken wrapped in the fireball was also revealed.

Ding Ding Ding Ding!

More than a dozen shurikens hit Kakuzu's body, but did not cause any damage to him. They fell to the ground one by one, as if they had hit hard rocks.

With the insight of the Sharingan, Shisui saw that Kakuzu's skin had hardened. At the same time, he also saw the characteristics of Kakuzu's body that were very different from those of ordinary people!
There were no meridians inside the opponent's body like a ninja, only five chakra sources of different colors that were unusually conspicuous.

In Shisui's mind, Kakuzu's body in front of him was a complete monster and an alien!
No wonder Lu Nie wanted to study his body.

Shisui suddenly realized something. According to his understanding of Lu Nie, this kind of physique really has an extraordinary attraction to Lu Nie. It's like some kind of powerful bloodline limit!
"Is it a secret technique?"

Shisui was guessing in his mind, but his movements and reactions did not slow down, his Sharingan spun rapidly in his eye sockets, and the surging power of Yin Release directly hit Kakuzu's brain.

For a moment, Kakuzu seemed to be caught in an illusion, his face was struggling, and he paused on the ground. Shisui drew the short sword from his back and instantly appeared in front of him.

Just when Shisui was about to cut off the opponent's limbs to capture him alive, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of crisis. In the next moment, his body suddenly disappeared in front of Kakuzu.

At the same moment, Kakuzu's arm, which was shining with the color of rock, smashed down heavily towards Shisui. If he hadn't paused for some unknown reason, Shisui might have had to face this fist that carried the power of rock.

The reason why the other party paused was also reflected in Shisui's Sharingan after he landed again.

A dark shadow was connected to Kakuzu's shadow.

"Surprising, an Uchiha and a Nara brat." Kakuzu looked at Shikagawa on the other side.

Latent Shadow Snake Hands!
Whoosh whoosh!

However, before Kakuzu could finish his words, a sharp sound of wind was heard behind him, and one snake after another coiled around and bit Kakuzu from behind.

Bang!
The lightning is blazing!

The body of Kakuzu that was bitten could no longer maintain its shape, but turned into a blazing electric light and dissipated. However, the paralysis caused by the electric light spread along the snake's body to Hongdou's body.

Even though Hongdou saw that the situation was not good and broke off very quickly, his body was inevitably paralyzed and he was unable to move for a while.

A kunai took the opportunity to cut Red Bean's neck.

Hongdou could even feel the chill from the kunai, but the next moment, her uncontrollable body regained its mobility in the next instant, she leaned back, tilted her head back, and hit Kakuzu behind her hard, while dodging his fatal blow.

snort!
Kakuzu was knocked back and felt that his opponent's body was as hard as stone.

"What kind of ninjutsu is this?" Kakuzu looked at the black lines faintly appearing on Anko's body, then his gaze fell on her shadow, and finally his gaze fell on Kakui on the other side.

"You used the secret technique of shadows to forcibly control the bodies of your teammates, like controlling puppets, and avoided my attacks? It seems that your strength is not unknown."

"My illusion doesn't work on him." Shisui instantly appeared next to Lu Nie.

From the time he launched the illusion to the time Red Bean was controlled by Kane to avoid the attack, it all happened in an instant. He already understood that the Sharingan illusion he launched had no effect on that Kakuzu.

"His body is somewhat special. You can regard him as a jinchūriki," Lu Ni replied.

"Are you talking about the five chakra sources in his body?" Even though he had known some information about Kakuzu from Luna beforehand, it was still a little incredible to experience it in person.

"Why don't we just stop? Our fight is meaningless." Kakuzu raised his hand. Facing three powerful men with no bounty, he really had no motivation to fight them to the death.

"Then can you let me study your body?" Lu Nie asked seriously again.

"It seems you underestimated me!" Kakuzu's eyes narrowed again, but he didn't say anything about backing off. He put his hands together, his body undergoing drastic changes, and he slowly said, "After all, I am the one who once assassinated the first Hokage of Konoha!"

Kakuzu's clothes instantly tore apart, and black monsters burst out from his stitched body.

"What is that?" Seeing a total of four monsters circling around Kakuzu, his broken skin was stitched together by black silk threads, and Hongdou and Shisui opened their eyes wide in surprise.

"Earth Resentment Yu. The forbidden secret treasure of Takigakure. It is also our target this time." Lu Nie looked at the slightly terrifying scene opposite with shining eyes.

Hearing what Lu Nie said and looking at the look that made him feel uncomfortable, Kakuzu's heart sank as he felt offended. In the ninja world, those who covet other people's secret techniques are the most shameless and the most hated.
