Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

Moreover, was he always the one who was unlucky and in trouble?

Come to think of it, it seemed like Madara Uchiha never got the better of Hashirama Senju either?

Could this also be fate?

"Forget it, I won't say anymore. No matter what that guy does, we'll always have a way to deal with it in the future."

Tobi shook his head violently, trying to shake off this bad luck.

"By the way, are Sasori and Kakuzu still alive?"

"They're both alive. They escaped."

Black Zetsu nodded. He hesitated for a moment, but after struggling for a while, he finally spoke.

"By the way, there's something I need to tell you."

"What is it?"

"Shūzō Shihara has already linked you to the Akatsuki."

"That's not surprising, but it doesn't prove anything. Who knows if I came here with my own ideas?"

"However, he has already determined that to be the case, and has also roughly identified some of the Akatsuki's locations."

"."

"He directly ruled out the Five Great Nations and locked onto the surrounding small countries. Tobi, this situation is troublesome."

"."

Inside a forest in Kusagakure, Sasori and Kakuzu ran there in a disheveled state, and then unexpectedly met again.

Looking at their teammate across from them, who looked extremely miserable, the two of them couldn't help but fall silent.

Sasori's condition looked terrible, his whole body was tattered, and one of his arms was missing.

However, it wasn't broken off, but rather he had defended against Shisui's attack, and was caught in the shockwave of Shūzō's attack.

It was at that moment that he had decided to run away, so after he just retrieved the Third Kazekage, he immediately ran without caring about anything else.

As for Kakuzu, he was also extremely miserable, his cloak was gone, and there were large areas of burns on his body.

There were even some places on his body that showed strange collapses, and the masks behind him were now shattered, leaving only one!

Such a miserable situation was something that the two of them had never seen on each other before.

Moreover, they didn't even think about the other party when they were running, which made them feel somewhat awkward when they met again.

"Looks like you ran away too."

After a long while, Sasori said faintly, while Kakuzu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Yeah, looks like you too. This time, the mission must cost more!"

"Indeed, it needs more money."

Sasori nodded. Seeing that Kakuzu didn't want to talk about this issue, he also stopped wasting words.

"Losing so many puppets, I really need some funds to replenish them."

"Yeah."

Kakuzu also nodded. Money was his greatest love, and he could risk his life for money.

"Do you have any information this time?"

"That kid's Mangekyō is indeed very strong. It's not easy to deal with, and his methods are much stronger than I imagined."

Sasori stopped halfway through his sentence. His mind was filled with Shisui's tall chakra giant.

That kind of defense and offense integrated thing seemed to be more effective than his puppets, which made him feel particularly uncomfortable.

"What about you, do you have any information?"

"Shūzō Shihara, or rather, Shūzō Senju…"

Kakuzu pursed his lips, and he said helplessly.

"Strong, difficult to deal with. The combination of Flying Thunder God and Wood Release leaves me helpless. At least, I can't think of any countermeasures for the time being."

Saying this, Kakuzu didn't want to say any more, but subconsciously touched a bag on his waist.

Coincidentally, some scenes also appeared in his mind at this moment.

At that time, he had just been hit by a wooden dragon burning with flames, and even though he tried his best to dodge, he was already on the verge of death.

However, at this moment, Shūzō's figure suddenly appeared in front of him, a kunai was shot beside him, and he spoke silently.

As a powerful ninja, Kakuzu naturally understood lip reading, and he instantly knew what Shūzō meant.

"I heard that you are a bounty hunter. There is no future in mixing in such an organization. How much money do you get in a month?"

"With this little money, what are you risking your life for?"

"Moreover, if you want to earn money, you have to work yourself to death to take on tasks. Is it interesting to be a drudge for this broken organization?"

"Now there is a ready-made one for you to eat. There is a fixed 300,000 ryō per month, and you only need to provide us with information."

"If you agree, pick up the kunai and leave by yourself. If you don't agree, I will send you on your way."

"Now make your choice…"

Chapter 88: Fall of Kusagakure!

Inside the dense forest of Kusagakure, Shūzō and his group were rushing towards Kusagakure in a defensive formation.

The previous battle did not have any impact on them.

Although Sasori and Kakuzu were indeed troublesome and difficult to deal with, they unfortunately encountered two cheaters at this stage.

The Mangekyō was indeed a bit beyond the norm for this era.

It is undeniable that Konoha has ways to deal with it. After all, with talents like Tobirama Senju, it is difficult for Konoha not to have this ability!

Not to mention Konoha, in the future, Sasuke opened the Mangekyō and first went to find Killer B, and then ran to make trouble at the Five Kage Summit, but was always taught a lesson.

Don't think that reaching the Mangekyō is so amazing. It is true that the Mangekyō's dōjutsu is indeed fierce and powerful, but there are still ways to deal with it.

For example, more powerful enemies, or directly competing in consumption.

After all, a person's stamina may make Mangekyō users uncomfortable.

However, dealing with Sasori, combined with Shisui's combat experience, the problem is still not too big, especially since Sasori had met them last time, and Shisui knew a lot of information.

As for Shūzō, he is a pure cheater!

Not to mention Wood Release and Flying Thunder God, he also has his own [Cursed Seal] and [Yin Release] abilities, plus extremely strong physical qualities.

Besides, he also has Kakuzu's information. It wouldn't be strange if this combination killed Kakuzu alive. It can only be said that these two brothers were really unlucky.

"However, the money for Kakuzu in the future needs to be followed up."

While on the road, Shūzō thought to himself.

He doesn't have that much money to give to Kakuzu every month, but doesn't Konoha have it!

Shūzō has always felt that their task force should need a lot of outsourcing personnel to help them work.

Not to mention anything else, there must be someone to pass on information, right?

300,000 ryō a month seems like a lot, but a core member of the Akatsuki, no matter how you look at it, is considered more valuable.

As for whether Kakuzu will do something like double-crossing, that will be a matter for the future.

At worst, Shūzō will truly send him on his way next time.

Moreover, Shūzō is now too lazy to think about Kakuzu's situation, because the person who really gave him a big gift was Tobi, whom he didn't even have much contact with this time!

"White Zetsu's body…"

Thinking of the sealing scroll in his ninja tool bag, Shūzō suddenly felt a lot happier.

Indeed, he never thought of injecting White Zetsu's cells into his body.

He is not a true Senju, even if he is indeed improving himself in this direction, he knows how big the difference is in his heart.

White Zetsu's body was transformed from Hashirama Senju's cells. Even with the improvement of Black Zetsu and Madara Uchiha, it is still poison for ordinary people!

Shūzō doesn't dare to gamble. He is not a Senju and doesn't have that kind of compatibility, nor is he an Uchiha with the Mangekyō who can form Yin and Yang balance and not be backlashed by its power.

What's more, he is not sure whether there are any remnants of Asura's chakra in White Zetsu's cells, after all, Hashirama Senju has long been dead!

"However, it's not bad to study it and see the direction, and at the same time, maybe I can try to sell a favor in the future."

Shūzō is planning well. He doesn't know what the Uchiha will become in the future, but if some people really ask him for help and he can trust them, he can't help them.

What's more, he still has a 'teacher' Tsunade at home, and maybe he can try some other things in the future.

"Shūzō, what are you thinking about?"

Just as he was thinking, Yūgao suddenly asked softly from the side.

"It's almost there, what are we going to do next?"

"It's almost there?"

Shūzō raised his head and glanced around, then smiled.

"Sorry, I was thinking about some follow-up issues, but I'm relieved that you guys are here."

"Let's talk about business."

Kakashi didn't want to see the two of them flirting, so he simply changed the subject.

"We will probably face no small trouble next, so we need to have some necessary action plans, right?"

"That's right, we haven't done anything yet."

Tenzō nodded aside. Although the mission has been very easy along the way, he always felt like something was wrong.

After all, he is a ninja from Root, and he is not used to this kind of working without effort.

"Yes, we should do something too."

Itachi Uchiha also nodded. He also wanted to add a stroke to his resume.

After all, there is 'Father's mission', and he doesn't want to slack off.

"Is that so."

Shūzō was happy that his teammates didn't want to slack off, and then he asked with a puzzled look.

"But, to deal with a place like Kusagakure, wouldn't it be simple if the border troops continued to approach?"

"No, do you want to start a war?"

Kakashi was a little dazed by Shūzō's words, but he soon realized something.

"No, do you want to make their internal defenses more lax?"

"Yes, in fact, the difficulty of this operation is not as big as imagined."

Shūzō nodded. This time they have enough reinforcements. If they don't make good use of it, wouldn't they be too sorry for such a reserve force?

What's more, Shūzō doesn't just want to catch a Kurotsuchi, he really needs freedom points, so…

His goal is to make things bigger while completing the task and increase his task evaluation!

"We have a lot of reinforcements in this operation, so we might as well open up our minds and think about what is most beneficial to Konoha."

"Most beneficial to Konoha?"

Yūgao looked at Shūzō in confusion, and Shisui couldn't help but poke his head over. They were too familiar with Shūzō's appearance. In an instant, they seemed to have returned to Sunagakure.

"Yes, what do you say is the greatest value of this small country to the village?"

Shūzō smiled unhurriedly, while Tenzō touched his head.

"I remember you seemed to have said that the most important thing for this small country to a big country is to provide task quotas?"

"Yes, it's the task quota."

Shūzō gave Tenzō an appreciative look, while the corners of Kakashi's mouth twitched.

"Hey, hey, hey, you don't want to do something to Kusagakure, do you?"
