Hokage: I, Kakuzu, Immortal God

"Kakuzu-sama, the research on desalination of Hero Water is almost complete. I have removed the impurities in it and left behind things that are beneficial to the human body."

"But unfortunately, the so-called impurities and beneficial things also complement each other. I removed all the impurities. Although it will not cause harm to the human body, the effect of the Hero's Water is also greatly reduced. Drinking it now can only improve it. An average Kage-level chakra level."

Kakuzu sat on the big mink chair, looking at the experimental report in his hand and listening to Beilihu's analysis.

Kakuzu could give a more precise analogy for the final experiment of Heroic Water.

Wine, whether it is red wine or white wine, has staying power. The reason why some people drink is for that "power".

After some research in Beilihu, he finally decided to remove this stamina, leaving only the part that could expand the human body's blood vessels and enhance chakra.

This is like diluting a bottle of high-concentration white wine into low-concentration rice wine.

It may taste a lot less flavorful, but you can drink it without getting drunk, and it can speed up the body's blood circulation.

Everyone nodded and said nothing.

It is difficult to have the best of both worlds, not to mention that the current Hero Water can still increase the amount of chakra of an ordinary Kage level at will, which is already very good.

"Yes, that's it for the Hero's Water experiment. What about the other one?"

Hearing this, Beiruhu became more serious. He knew that that was the experiment that Kakuzu was most concerned about, and it was also the most important.

"Kakuzu-sama, the purification of Hashirama's cells has been completed, and according to your previous idea, the immortal cells were used to integrate into Hashirama's cells. The two complement each other and are indeed compatible. This is all thanks to The power of Hashirama’s cells.”

Whether it's Hidan's immortal body or Hashirama's cells, they are valuable materials with great research value.

If the two can be integrated with each other, who knows what kind of miracles will be created?

But in the process, Beiliuhu also raised a concern of his own.

"Kakuzu-sama, this is our first experiment after all, and we don't have any experimental samples for our reference before. I'm afraid..."

Kakuzu knew that Beiruhu was worried, so he pondered for a moment and finally nodded.

"It's okay, come on!"

Calculate carefully, how many tailed beasts' chakra is contained in Kakuzu's body?

Perhaps Kakuzu's physical strength was not as strong as Uchiha Madara's at the beginning, but Kakuzu is also improving.

What's more, according to the prediction of the Great Toad Sage and the appearance of Uchiha Madara, this means that the future of the ninja world may be even more dangerous.

In this case, Kakuzu should fight harder.

Seeing Jiaodu being so determined, Bei Liuhu said no more and took out the diluent and the embryonic cells that had been prepared long ago from the experimental refrigerator.

……

Inside Longyin Village.

People are coming and going on the street, and there is a constant flow of traffic on the road.

A young man with fair skin, long hair, and a kimono was walking leisurely on the street.

He is one of the famous Sannin, Orochimaru.

At this time, Orochimaru is far from the monster he was in the later period. On the contrary, he looks quite decent. After all, Orochimaru is only in his early 30s now.

When he was young, he even once set Naruto as his goal.

This time he came across the country just to complete the task assigned to him by the Third Hokage.

Orochimaru passed through streets and shops, and finally stopped at a deserted corner.

His eyes squinted slightly.

"Friend, I have customs clearance documents in my hand. All the procedures for coming in are legal and compliant. In addition, Kakuzu-sama has always had a close relationship with our Konoha. I am definitely not here to cause damage."

The people behind him had already followed Orochimaru, but Orochimaru couldn't bear it anymore.

Obviously I didn't do anything, but in the end, I was like a thief being watched from behind. Who can bear this?

As soon as Orochimaru finished speaking, there was an echo from behind.

"I know you came in according to normal procedures, but do you think I would let an outside village ninja with a strong chakra aura walk freely here?"

Hearing this, Orochimaru couldn't help but frowned.

"what do you want."

"You can tell me your purpose, maybe I can help you."

Hearing this sentence, Orochimaru's mouth curved slightly.

In fact, what the person behind him said is not a big problem.

After all, Orochimaru is a dignified Sannin and has a good reputation in the entire ninja world. It is understandable that others should guard against him.

But don’t forget that we are all ninjas. Can a ninja with a mission tell others about his mission?

So from Orochimaru's perspective, the people behind him were a bit unreasonable.

"In that case..."

Orochimaru turned around sharply and stretched out his arms behind him.

"Hidden Shadow Snake Hand!"

Swish swish swish!

The white arms turned into countless venomous snakes, opening their mouths, exposing their fangs, and biting in the direction of the source of the sound behind them.

While launching the attack, Orochimaru also stepped back slightly, and he was consciously controlling the intensity.

He didn't want to cause trouble when he came here, he just planned to leave after restraining the people behind him.

Although Orochimaru had a good idea, the next moment, a silver-white figure seemed like a phantom, instantly piercing through the attack of his latent snake hand, and came to Orochimaru in the blink of an eye.

"not good!"

Orochimaru's tiny pupils shrank again. He underestimated the strength of the visitor. He was just about to form the Seal of Opposition to prepare for defense, but a cold touch had already reached his neck.

"This is……"

Orochimaru didn't panic.

He even felt a familiar scent from the visitor.

Looking at the short knife held against his neck, it was clearly "White Fang".

The identity of the person who opposes him will be revealed.

Today, Hatake Sakumo is no longer wearing Konoha's vest, and there is no Hokage half-sleeve on his arms.

Hatake Sakumo was dressed simply, and his face looked calm.

Such a comparison.

"Hehe." Orochimaru laughed twice: "The dignified Hatake White Fang seems to have become Kakuzu's sword-wielding guard."

Orochimaru did not comment on what happened to Hatake Sakumo while he was in Konoha.

But everyone was acquaintances after all, and could even be said to have grown up in the same grade, so Orochimaru made a joke.

As soon as this joke came out, Orochimaru felt that it was wrong. Hatake Sakumo's face remained calm, looking like a killer.

The cold White Fang pushed a little further into his neck, causing Orochimaru to take two steps back involuntarily.

"Sakumo, stop joking."

"Do you think I'm joking?"

"You..." Orochimaru wanted to say something more, but suddenly he felt something was wrong with Hatake Sakumo's aura.

"The chakra in your body seems to have increased a lot."

"As expected of the Hokage's apprentice, his perception ability is quite good."

Orochimaru could only show a helpless smile on his face.

The three disciples of the Third Generation have become famous in the ninja world, but don't forget that Hatake Sakumo is ranked above the three ninjas.

There is no need to deliberately compare, since he entered school, Jiraiya has been dealt with by Hatake Sakumo.

Correspondingly, Orochimaru during this period was also no match for Hatake Sakumo.

Orochimaru sighed helplessly.

He has already discovered the shortcoming of the Hatake family's lack of chakra, and originally wanted to use this as a breakthrough to defeat Hatake Sakumo, but it seems now that this idea has deviated from his original intention.

Today's Hatake Sakumo will probably not feel weak in his legs when fighting the tailed beasts. If Orochimaru wants to improve his strength again, he will have to find another way.

"It seems that we can only advance the experiment on forbidden arts. I hope everything will be successful."

Hatake Sakumo naturally didn't know what Orochimaru was thinking.

All he knew was that it wasn't a big problem for him to fight the Sannin now.

"Orochimaru, can you tell me the purpose of your visit now?"

"That's what Sakumo-senpai said."

Orochimaru closed his eyes and smiled.

The Kingdom of Dragons, Tianyun Gambling House.

The gambling tables were crowded with all kinds of customers, which proved that the gambling house was doing a booming business.

In the past few days, the gambling house has become even more prosperous because of the arrival of someone.

"Tsunade-sama, you have lost so much, why don't you take a rest first."

The staff members held stacks of IOUs in their hands and spoke happily when facing Tsunade.

"Need not!"

Tsunade, who was already on top, waved her hand domineeringly and said her bold words.

When the gambling shop staff heard what Tsunade said, their faces burst into smiles.

"But Tsunade-sama, you already owe us [-] million. According to the rules of the gambling house, we can't give you any more credit. Please see if you can repay the money first before we can continue to lend you money."

"what are you saying!"

Tsunade lifted up the staff member's collar, which frightened the staff member so much that the IOUs in their hands fell to the floor.

"Tsuna, Tsunade-sama, spare my life..."

The cries of the staff immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Tsunade above finally woke up a little, and she realized her gaffe.

He already owed enough money in gambling houses, so it was understandable that others would not lend him money anymore. Tsunade, who had been in gambling houses for many years, naturally knew this.

But there was no way for her to just stop like this.

"Shizune, take another [-] million!"

The heroic voice scared Kato Shizune next to her so much that her legs went weak, and even the Dou Dou in her arms couldn't help but tremble.

"Tsunade-sama, we have no money to gamble anymore."

Kato Shizune came a little closer to Tsunade and whispered in Tsunade's ear.

"The last gambling debt has already lost all the money. Now we really have no money to pay them back. You think we should just stop like this. It won't be long before the Dragon Kingdom will be full of debt collectors. "

Tsunade heard this.A pair of iron fists buzzed.

But in the end she sighed helplessly and released her white iron fist.

Tsunade didn't pay attention to these debts at all, but she just had to follow a principle in everything she did.

She lost from the Kingdom of Wind to the Kingdom of Earth, from the Kingdom of Earth, to the Kingdom of Iron, and then to the Kingdom of Dragon.

To be fair, it seemed like she really had no money to lose anymore.

"That's all, this time..."

Just when Tsunade was about to say let it go.

Snapped!

A large stack of cash was placed in front of Tsunade.

"This is……"

Tsunade looked to the side with suspicious eyes and found that it was Ai with a smile on her face.

"Tsunade-sama, this is a little bit of my thoughts, please use it as you wish."

The chips on the table were worth at least more than [-] million, and the fire in Tsunade's heart that had just been extinguished was instantly rekindled.

She glanced at the gamblers on the table, then pointed boldly at the dice on the table, and uttered only one word.

"open!"

……

a week later.

Within the palace hall of the Kingdom of Dragon.

Orochimaru put his hand on his chest and bowed respectfully to Kakuzu.

"Kakuzu-sama, I'm afraid it's been nearly 20 years since we were last apart."

Corner nodded.

The three little ones at the beginning are now famous ninjas in the ninja world.

Then Orochimaru consciously stepped aside, because there was nothing left for him here.

Tsunade should appear next.

When Tsunade saw Kakuzu for the first time, to be honest, Tsunade still felt a little angry.

If she faced other debt collectors, Tsunade could successfully get through with a change technique.

But can her little tricks fool Kakuto's eyes?

Kakuzu didn't say much and went straight to the point.

"Tsunade, do you know how much tax three hundred million gambling debts can pay to our Dragon Kingdom?"

The unkind tone expressed Kakuzu's unhappy mood.

"Kakuzu-sama, this money..."

Just as Tsunade was about to explain, Orochimaru coughed twice.

Years of tacit understanding made Tsunade realize that there was something in Orochimaru's words.

What Orochimaru wanted to express was simple.

It is not difficult to find out from the intelligence collected in the past.

You can discuss anything with Kakuzu, but you can't waste Kakuzu's money.

Thinking back to the time when their master, Senju Tobirama, had owed Kakuzu one month's salary, Kakuzu almost ran over and demolished Senju Tobirama's office.

In the end, Senju Tobijian was able to sell everything and finally raised Kakuzu's salary.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Even their master Jiao didn't give face, let alone these disciples.

"Kakuzu-sama, I will definitely repay this debt."

"Oh? So, I am your creditor now."

Tsunade gritted her teeth.

"Kakuzu-sama, don't worry. After all, I am the last member of the Senju clan. I can still do this."

After hearing this, Kakuzu could only laugh in his heart.

After all, Tsunade was just like his grandfather, losing every bet, good at it, and loving to play.

I remember back then, the two Senju brothers ate and drank from Kakuto, but in the end they didn't give them any cents.

Now it's time for their granddaughter to pay back the money.

But now Tsunade is penniless, what can she give in return?

There may be two methods. One is to sell Senju's mansion in Konoha. After all, Uzumaki Mito is still there, and it is estimated that Danzo and Monkey will not dare to blackmail Senju's money.

But if Tsunade dares to open her mouth like this, isn't she afraid that Uzumaki Mito will shovel her to death with a diamond chain?

As for Jiraiya, let's forget it. This guy is too busy taking care of himself in Mt. Myoboku. Where can he come to help Tsunade pay back the money?

Even if it comes out naturally, with his character who has been holding it in for so long, he will definitely find a place to have fun.

Kakuzu could just use this matter to trap Jiraiya.

So it is impossible for Tsunade to pay back the money, even in this life. What should I do if I can't get the money?Just stay here in Kakuzu and do... work as a coolie to pay back the money.

But then again, these words cannot be said so straightforwardly. Sometimes it may be better to go around in circles.
