Konoha: Prepare to defect, the system is coming

Rain Village.

The sky was gloomy, with no sign of clearing up.

The drizzle continued, and the mountain behind the village was shrouded in a thin layer of fog, looming and making it difficult to see the original appearance of the mountain.

A man in a straw raincoat walked on the street. After looking up at the mountains in the distance, he lowered his head silently, disguised himself as an ordinary passerby, and asked in confusion.

"Although the current Rain Village is a little richer than a few years ago, it is no different from an ordinary village."

"Ninjas can accept tasks normally, and villagers can live normally."

"I even heard that Hanzo ate five bowls of rice in one meal."

"Nothing unusual!!"

Thinking of the information he had collected in the past few days, the ninja from the Hidden Mist Village couldn't help but fall into confusion.

From the outside, the Rain Village is as normal as it can be. It is not like what the village described, which is related to the recent abnormal movement of the tailed beasts in the ninja world.

Even the war resources of the Rain Village are not at a premium.

This also indirectly shows that the village has no signs of preparing for war.

"The forbidden area of ​​the village?" The Kirigakure ninja raised his head and looked around. When his eyes swept across Hanzo's residence, the mountain behind, and the tallest tower in the village, he paused for a moment and muttered in a voice that only he could hear.

"It was originally an A-level mission, but because the village is short of funds recently, the reward is 100,000 taels, which is almost equivalent to a B-level mission."

"Generally speaking, as long as you encounter attacks from ninjas from other villages during the mission, it is considered a B-level mission."

"Do I have to gamble my life and fight a demigod for 100,000 taels?"

Thinking of Hanzo's terrifying record, the Kirigakure ninja suddenly stopped and a rumor he heard that year suddenly emerged in his mind.

"There was once an elite ninja from Takigakure who accepted a mission from the top and went to fight the "God of Ninja."

"But the final result didn't seem to be particularly wonderful."

"Although I am a ninja who is willing to sacrifice my life for the village, facing a "demigod" is obviously beyond the range of 100,000 taels, both in terms of the degree of danger and the reward."

"Damn, did the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost secretly withhold the mission reward?"

"Change someone, I quit!"

"A-choo!"

Kakuzu sneezed, then shook his head gently, and said in a deep voice, "In this false and lies-filled world, only by filling your stomach can you feel that you really exist.

In the past, you could accept bounties and count money, but now..."

He raised his eyelids and glanced at the "Three-tailed Jinchuriki" lying in the mouth of the Outer Path Golem. Veins popped up on his forehead instantly, and the murderous intent in his heart began to surge rapidly.

Kakuzu found that he had to find a way to go out and perform the mission.

Otherwise, he would have to stay here every day to seal the tailed beasts, and face the leader who lied and made unrealistic promises every day. He was really afraid that one day he would not be able to control his murderous intent and attack the leader.

But if he did, he would not be able to beat him, and he would be easily beaten.

"Knowing that he could not beat him, he still wanted to attack the leader who "dreamt of empty words to save paper and pens". Once he did, he would easily lose his heart, and if he lost his heart, he would not live long."

"Why bother?"

Try to suppress the murderous intent in his heart, he raised his head and looked around at the hollowed-out mountain.

After his eyes stayed on the huge outer demon statue for a moment, he turned his head to look at the puppet controlled by Nagato, and his low voice slowly echoed in the silent cave.

"Or, I will catch the seven-tailed beast tomorrow!!"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, turned their heads and looked in the direction of the voice.

Even Black Zetsu, who was most eager to execute the plan, lowered his head in shame after discovering the expectation in Kakuzu's eyes.

"The speed of Akatsuki's actions is totally incompatible with Kakuzu's idea."

Until now, the three-tail has not been sealed in, but he can't wait to capture the seven-tail.

"Okay!"

Nagato gave him a complicated look and said slowly, "The matter of the seven-tail is not urgent, our first priority now is to seal the three-tail."

"What about the six-tail?" Kakuzu asked after hesitating for a while.

"Not urgent!" Nagato shook his head.

"What about the five-tail?" Kakuzu turned and looked at the Hidden Rock Village and continued to ask.

"."

Kakuzu took a deep breath, stared at Nagato with his mung bean-sized eyes, and said without giving up.

"Or the Four-Tails will do!"

"The Four-Tails, Yekura, has already gone." Nagato turned his head to avoid Kakuzu's burning gaze, and said in a deep voice, "Why don't you go capture the Five-Tails, if you need a companion."

Before he finished speaking, Kakuzu suddenly straightened his back, with a righteous look on his face, and waved his hand to the leader, saying, "No need! I'm afraid that when I see my companion's valuable head, I will not be able to help but attack him."

Nagato was slightly startled, and subconsciously looked over, and found that at this time, Kakuzu's face was full of the words "Consider the organization".

Thinking of those "companions" that Kakuzu took for money, Nagato's eyelids jumped, and he smiled bitterly in his heart, "It would be nice if there was a guy who would not die and whose bounty was very low."

On the surface, although Kakuzu could go alone, given the risks of the task of capturing the tailed beasts and his potential desire to defect.

"Companions" are still necessary.

But

Who should go?

The atmosphere in the cave became solemn as Nagato pondered.

After the aroma of the fried meatballs gradually dissipated, a damp and turbid air came again, making people feel a little stuffy in their chests.

"Scorching Release Ye Cang and Dissolving Release Four-Tails"

In the silence of everyone, Asuka's eyes unconsciously turned to the place where Ye Cang was originally, and his brows could not help but frowned, "The Four-Tails is not so easy to deal with for Ye Cang, but I don't know who went with her."

He didn't know much about the information about the Four-Tails. He only knew that the Four-Tails' Jinchūriki was called Lao Zi, and he didn't have a good relationship with the Tsuchikage Ohnoki, and he often left the village.

But Lao Zi was the owner of the Dissolving Release Bloodline Limit, and this plus the Four-Tails made it a little difficult to deal with.

"Leng Ge Ge Ge, Li Ge Ge Ge, Leng Ge Ge Ge"

A brisk and unique tune suddenly floated on a muddy path, attracting pedestrians on the road to stop and look curiously at the direction where the sound came from.

As the tune got closer and closer, a tall male figure slowly appeared at the end of the road.

The other person was wearing a robe with auspicious cloud patterns, and a black mask covering his eyes. He was extremely tall and sturdy. Every step seemed to carry an extraordinary momentum, which made people retreat to the sides of the road involuntarily and make way for the middle road.

Bang!

A huge foot suddenly stepped into the puddle in the middle of the road.

Suddenly, the muddy water splashed on the pedestrians on both sides of the road, leaving yellow marks.

The tall and sturdy man also came back to his senses at this moment. He suddenly stopped and his green bean-like eyes quickly scanned the pedestrians on both sides of the road.

Ordinary people on both sides of the path turned their heads away, not daring to look at each other's eyes at all, let alone complain about the mud splashed on their bodies, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.

A tense atmosphere filled the air, making everyone tense up involuntarily.

"I'm very sorry, I was distracted for a moment and stained your clothes."

The next second.

A deep and sincere male voice suddenly sounded, instantly breaking the tense atmosphere in the air.

Seeing the stunned expressions of the pedestrians around him, the man in the auspicious cloud robe nodded to them, then hummed a cheerful tune and walked briskly into the distance.

After three days of sealing, the leader finally let him out to perform the mission.

Although it is indeed a bit difficult to capture the tailed beast, it doesn't matter.

The most important thing now is

From this moment on, he no longer opens his eyes every day to "seal the tailed beast" monotonously and repeatedly, and can finally do something he wants to do.

"This person is so familiar. I remember it." Looking at the figure that is gradually going away, a man in a straw raincoat in the crowd slowly raised his head, revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs.

"Kakuzu, the former elite ninja of Takigakure, an S-rank rebel.

For ordinary people, the danger level facing him is almost zero, but for powerful ninjas, the probability of surviving him is also almost zero."

"And from what the passers-by just said, it seems that people wearing similar clothes often appear in the Rain Village."

Speaking of this, he slowly took off the bamboo hat on his head, looked up at the gray sky, let the cold raindrops fall on his face, and his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the scene a few days ago.

At that time, he had just returned from a mission, and before he had time to rest, he was taken to a mysterious room.

There, he met his boss, Xiguashan Puffer Ghost.

"Kisame, you are my most valued and highly-anticipated subordinate, and you are also the most ideal successor of "Big Sword Samehada" in the mind of Xiguashan Puffer."

"Now, I have an extremely dangerous and unpaid mission on my hand, and failure of the mission will cause immeasurable damage to the interests of the village."

"Alas, I can't bear to see you pay for the mission, I will personally sponsor you 50,000 taels as your travel expenses to Rain Village."

"Kisame Hoshigaki, you are my most valued and highly-anticipated subordinate, work hard to complete the mission and survive!!"

Kisame Hoshigaki touched the warm wallet in his arms, which still contained the 50,000 taels of banknotes that Xiguashan Puffer gave him before leaving, which was also the travel expenses to Rain Village this time.

He has done unpaid missions.

He has also done unpaid and dangerous missions.

But this is the first time he has done an unpaid and extremely dangerous mission.

"The leader of the Rain Village - Hanzo?" Thinking of the man he might meet in this mission, Hoshigaki Kisame was silent for a moment, then turned to look at the path where Kakuzu disappeared, and suddenly thought of a strange question.

[It seems that Kakuzu fought with the God of Ninjas back then. Was there any reward for that mission? ? ]
