Naruto? Post Bar Naruto Super!

"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

While Shincod was thinking about something, Kakuzu immediately planned to take the opportunity to slip away.

He is a relatively well-rounded ninja. His perception ability is not top-notch, but it is not bad either. In this non-combat state and face-to-face situation, he can basically perceive clearly how much difference there is between his rank and Shin Cod.

At this time, Kakuzu had already recognized Manako's identity, but because Manako had only been famous for too short a time, his bounty was not yet outrageously high, and Kirigakure had not yet had time to issue a bounty as a sign of respect. As a result, in Kakuzu's eyes, the risk of killing Manako for money far outweighed the benefits, and he would not do such a deal.

"This guy is a ninja on the level of Senju Hashirama."

Kakuzu didn't dare to use the body-flash jutsu because he knew it would make him appear guilty and lead to questioning by the other party. The result was that he was stopped by Shincod before he took a few steps.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Kakuzu, let me introduce myself first. My name is Uchiwa Shincod, and as you can see I am a Konoha ninja."

"Hmm? Why are you so polite?" A drop of cold sweat fell from Kakuzu's ear. When he assassinated Hashirama Senju, he was also very polite and kind. As for the bounty corresponding to the real cod, after comparing the risks, he found that the profit was far less than the risk.

However, in fact, Zhen Cod had no intention of doing anything to Kakuzu. He called out to the other party purely because he thought that the other party was doing him a favor.

[Paid, 888 gold coins, Kakuzu Financial Management is open, all received... 5888 gold coins]

Kakuzu Financial Management is one of the benefits for the novice period of the Naruto mobile game. If you pay 888 gold coins and then upgrade to a certain level, you can get a full 5888 gold coins. Overall, it is like getting gold coins for free.

'This old man really knows how to manage money!!!'

Because of the gold coins, Shin Cod's original indifferent attitude towards Kakuzu immediately changed to a preparation to recruit the other party to join, but this caused a small problem.

"I don't have any projects..."

Although Akatsuki forced Kakuzu to join the organization semi-forced, they still have such an organization, and it has a program and system, but it's really cod...

He is now just a Konoha Genin, and even his capital is still in the accumulation stage. Facing Kakuzu's expression which gradually changed from panic to confusion, Shinko finally made a decision.

That's writing a blank check.

"Mr. Kakuzu should be over seventy years old now, right? To be honest, based on the information I have, it seems that you have the strength of a Kage comparable to that of some villages, and you also have excellent financial management skills."

While Shincod was speaking, Kakuzu's expression changed rapidly.

When his age was first pointed out, he was extremely panicked, because he didn't expect his intelligence to be explored to this extent. When his strength was discovered, he felt a little relieved, because he heard that Zhen Cod didn't seem to want to kill him. Then, he heard the part about him being good at managing money...

At this moment, Kakuzu's entire temperament changed. Although his clothes and appearance had not changed at all, one could not tell that he was actually an old ninja and bounty hunter who lived on the edge of a knife every day. He even looked like a well-read scholar and a successful businessman.

Of course, it is true that Jiaodu is a scholar. His hobbies are very clear, which are reading and making money. He only acts relatively wealthy when buying some ancient books, and at other times he is quite... frugal.

And Zhen Cod also said while the iron was hot:

"To be honest, although I am a bit lazy, I do have a slight advantage in strength over all other ninjas alive today, so my position in Konoha should be quite high in the future. Therefore, I would like to invite Mr. Kakuzu to help me manage my property. Of course, this is just a preliminary cooperation. I think Mr. Kakuzu is fully capable of being the financial officer of Konoha."

Konoha's treasurer! That's Konoha! The strongest military organization in the ninja world! And the Land of Fire is also the strongest and richest country in the ninja world! The thought that he might be able to hold such a huge amount of wealth and manage it and even make money from it...

Kakuzu felt itchy all over and was about to do something.

As for his identity as a traitor... Kakuzu said that it didn't matter at all. It was not impossible for a ninja village to accept traitors from other villages. As long as the relevant impacts were handled properly, there would be no problem at all. Of course, even these so-called impacts would only appear between the five major ninja villages. Takigakure, a village that was not even as good as Yugakure, was not qualified to speak loudly to Konoha. If Takigakure and Konoha held talks...

On the Takigakure side, there is one elite jonin + four jonin + one chuunin.

On the side of Konohagakure Village, there are the Third Hokage and five Kage-level ninjas.

The cornerman could laugh out loud just thinking about that scene, "Haha, those insect jackals in Takigakure..."

"Such a big reaction? In that case..." Shinji said, "The next Hokage of Konoha is the granddaughter of the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama, that is, Princess Tsunade. She is... let's put it this way, a gambler. Although such a small flaw does not affect her being a powerful ninja and a great doctor, it does pose some economic risks for a gambler to be the head of the village."

"What did you say? A gambler?" Kakuzu's brain trembled, "How could the granddaughter of Hashirama Senju be such a thing... Sorry, I mean, gambling is really a bad habit."

As a prisoner of Hashirama Senju and a renegade ninja from the Takigakure Village who has nothing to do with Konoha for the time being, Kakuzu really has no qualifications or position to blame Tsunade now.

"Even if Konoha is really broke, there will be daimyo to help fill the deficit. However, it is best if you can control finances in your own hands."

Although it is not bad to let the daimyo pay the salary, the problem is that the daimyo... he will shout at them, and can even scold the Hokage directly. Even the daimyo's relatives can order the Konoha ninjas around.

The locals in the pure ninja world might not think there was anything wrong with it, but even though Shin Cod had no intention of coming to promote the leap in the system, he still felt a slight resistance. He didn't like this kind of relationship that was more like a monarch-subject relationship, and if possible, he hoped that this relationship would become more like normal cooperation. But to do this, Konoha needed to have money itself, and Konoha was obviously very poor at the moment, otherwise he wouldn't have to see the Third Hokage's miserable expression because he didn't know how to ask the daimyo for money.

Of course, Konoha's affairs have to be put aside for later. What Mana is thinking about now is to make himself rich through normal means of wealth accumulation.

"That's it..."

'This Neilun Zhencod seems to have a rebellious mindset, but considering his age, it's normal. 'Then he thought it might not just be a matter of age.

At this time Kakuzu recalled some not-so-good memories. When he was young, Kakuzu was a loyal and righteous man, but this sincerity was destroyed by the top leaders of Takigakure Village. It was these people who forced Kakuzu to flee. Of course, so many years have passed, and he no longer holds a grudge against these things. For him now, it is enough to have books and money to fill his inner needs. Even after losing the ninja village, he is happy to be free.

And just at this moment, Kakuzu heard Manako ask a strange question.

"By the way, Mr. Kakuzu, do you think that if you want to deal with an enemy, you should use fair means or are you allowed to use something else?"

"…There is no need to answer this question, Lord Uchirin. When a ninja faces an enemy, he must use all his skills, even some dirty tricks that are not worthy of being used on the surface."

"So, switching to a lifespan strategy is not a means of defeating the enemy?"

"Huh?" Kakuzu was stunned. "Switch to... lifespan strategy?"

"Yes, in the long run, your battle with the Shodaime Hokage was actually won."

"???"

"Is this man awake? Oh, I almost forgot he is a descendant of the Uchiha clan."

The frown relaxed.

"After all, the first Hokage passed away more than a decade ago, but you are still alive and well. Obviously, he has fallen under your 'life strategy'. Although you may not have been aware of it at the beginning, in terms of the process and results, you have sought a certain degree of longevity, and the final mission goal has been successfully completed."

"This..." If Zhen Cod said something like this directly, Jiao would feel that the other party was insulting him. He would have to fight with the other party no matter what, even if in that situation he had to gamble whether the other party would leave him a few hearts if he wanted to survive.

But, they had just discussed the issue of ninja's methods a few seconds ago. If outlasting someone is considered a method, then Kakuzu had indeed won the battle with Senju Hashirama...

Kakuzu tried to shake the random thoughts from his mind, but he failed because he immediately thought of something else.

"Then Takigakure Village..."

Takigakure Village owes me! It already owed me a lot, and now it owes me even more!

The ninja Kakuzu was fully capable of breaking into the Takigakure Village, but that was meaningless to him. The way he wanted to make money was not through robbery. It was also because of this that Kakuzu never returned to the village to rob or kill people.

But now, he has a reason to go back and extort a large sum of money. Even though the reason is not legitimate, as long as he can make money and he thinks it is worth it, then there is no problem. As for what the people of Takigakure think, he doesn't care at all.

"Your Excellency Nei Lun, I have some personal matters to attend to right now. If possible, I would like to postpone our communication time."

"No problem at all."

Right now, Zhen Cod is really not in a hurry, because he does not have the funds on hand that would be worthy of Kakuzu's attention.

----

Ten minutes later, Kakuzu, who was running, suddenly found a special property transfer document in front of him.

He immediately began to check the contents above.

"Thief power?"

[Thief Power (two stars):

Passive, luck is significantly increased when stealing;

Active, can only be activated by targeting a unit in the field of vision, directly stealing the target's heart. When the target's chakra quality and quantity are much higher than its own, the hit rate of this effect will be significantly reduced.

Transfer fee: 1 tael]

"interesting……"

After confirming that this was not an illusion and that the ability was real, Kakuzu came up with a lot of new ideas.

For example, get a stronger heart or something like that.

----

PS: It is the original design that Kakuzu likes reading and especially studying ancient books. This hobby of his even takes precedence over making money. He is a clear-headed elderly scholar and a high-level fighter himself. He can be considered a talent among a group of semi-illiterate people in Naruto.
