The more he looked at the other person, the more familiar he seemed, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
At this moment, Hidan, who was standing to the side, lost his temper. He glared at Asuma in front of him, looking very unhappy.
o(o)
"Tch, 08 actually resorted to a sneak attack, how despicable!"
Then, he looked at Kakuzu and said something casually.
"You stay out of here and let me handle this guy."
"Wait a minute." Kakuzu waved his hand, stopping him.
"???" Hidan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this and asked, "What's wrong?"
Kakuzu looked at his bewildered teammates, then at Asuma ahead, and then took out a small booklet from his pocket.
The booklet is only the size of a palm.
On its cover are four large red characters.
Bounty Handbook
Kakuzu opened the bounty booklet and flipped through a few pages.
soon--
The portrait of Asma with the bushy beard was found in the bounty list.
Kakuzu looked at the bounty list in his hand, then at the prices on the list, and his mouth, hidden behind the black mask, stretched almost to his ears in a wide grin.
At the same time, a hint of greed crept into his eyes as he looked at Asma.
"What a pleasant surprise! What a pleasant surprise!!!"
"???" Hidan was slightly taken aback by his teammate's words, scratched his head, and asked curiously, "What unexpected surprise?"
Kakuzu pointed to the wanted list in his hand and said excitedly, "Asuma, the son of the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, is worth 35 million taels of silver!!"
"Hidan, I never expected that our trip to rescue Konan would lead to such a big business deal."
"This trip to Konoha was definitely worthwhile!!"
At this moment, Kakuzu looked at Asuma as if he were looking at a walking thirty-five million taels of silver.
Hidan clicked his tongue when he saw his comrade's excited expression.
Everyone in the Akatsuki organization was well aware of Kakuzu's money-grubbing nature.
Moreover, Hidan knew it too.
The leader took advantage of Kakuzu's money-grubbing nature, so he directly appointed him as the Akatsuki's treasurer!
The position was prestigious, but the financial burden of the Akatsuki organization also fell on Kakuzu's shoulders.
He needed to work hard to earn money to cover the Akatsuki's massive internal expenses.
Although the other members of Akatsuki also make money, they are nothing compared to Kakuzu, who is an expert at making money.
Since Kakuzu became the Minister of Finance, all living expenses within the Akatsuki organization, as well as the expenses for buying explosive tags for Konan, have become a hundred times more abundant than before.
Especially when buying explosive tags for Xiao Nan, they were all bought in bulk.
Kakuzu's profits flowed into the merchants' pockets like a flood.
Kakuzu was heartbroken!
But I could only keep it to myself.
Every night, he would find a secluded place and cry his heart out!
All the hard-earned silver coins were squandered by Xiao Nan buying explosive talismans!!
It's like a bottomless pit!
While Hidan was thinking, Kakuzu, who was standing nearby, glanced at Asuma not far away and muttered to himself, "It just so happens that Akatsuki has been spending a lot of money lately, so they've come to Konoha to withdraw funds."
"Just thinking about it is so exciting!!!"
Now, Kakuzu has only one thought in his mind!
Kill Asma and use his body to exchange for money at the gold exchange.
Immediately, he turned his head to look at Hidan and said, "Hidan, I'll handle Asuma. You go find Konan."
"Huh? You're going to deal with him?" Hidan immediately objected upon hearing this. "Kakuzu, let me handle this. This guy named Asuma ambushed me earlier, and I'm going to use his life as a sacrifice to the Jashin-sama!!"
"..." Upon hearing this, Kakuzu's lips twitched, and he shook his head, saying, "Don't forget the task the leader gave us. If we mess it up, neither of us will be able to escape unscathed. Hurry up and go save Konan. Leave this to me."
Hidan rolled his eyes when he saw that the other party was using Pain to suppress him.
but...
If, as Kakuzu said, the mission to save Minami is not accomplished...
They really are going to be in deep trouble.
Although I've never seen the leader get angry, the scene must be terrifying.
Hidan shrugged helplessly.
"Alright, you can have this kill. Next time someone gets a kill, you have to give it to me."
“No problem.” Kakuzu nodded in agreement without even thinking.
Right now, his mind is entirely focused on Asma's head.
The two reached a consensus.
Hidan, carrying his scythe, immediately rushed towards Naruto's residence.
not far away.
Seeing this, Asuma was just about to block Hidan's advance.
But at this moment.
Kakuzu, who was already eager to reap heads, stood directly in front of Asuma.
"Your opponent is me."
Asuma gazed at Kakuzu before him, his expression grave. 060
Judging from his reaction speed alone, it's clear that Kakuzu is no ordinary opponent!
"Hmph, don't even think about taking Naruto away!!"
Asma gave a cold snort.
Without further ado, he directly channeled the chakra within his body into the chakra blade in his hand.
"Buzz buzz!!"
The chakra blade's surface emitted a blue glow, appearing even sharper than before!
Immediately, Asuma gripped his two chakra blades tightly and charged towards Kakuzu.
Kakuzu looked at the chakra blades attacking him without the slightest panic.
The hand seals are in motion.
"Earthly Grudge!!"
The next moment, countless black threads emerged from his arms.
The black threads twitched incessantly, like tentacles.
Immediately afterwards, countless threads pierced Asuma's heart.
Seeing this, Asuma remained calm and went straight to meet him.
For a moment, the two were locked in a fierce fight!
at the same time.
on the sky.
Pain surveyed the entire Hidden Leaf Village before fixing his gaze on Naruto.
"I didn't want to use that move, but now I have no choice."
"Naruto, I underestimated you before."
"However... it's time to stop here!!"
Chapter 132 Earth Explosion Star Seals Me? That's just wishful thinking.
At this moment.
Pain, the Deva Path, hovered in the sky, his expression returning to its usual calm.
He raised his hands high, like an inviolable god.
next moment!
Pain directly gathered all the chakra within his body into one body.
at the same time.
Pain, the Hell Path on the ground, instantly lost his chakra supply.
There was a "bang" sound.
Pain of the Hell Path collapsed to the ground, motionless like a human-shaped wooden stake.
above the sky.
Pain, feeling the abundant chakra within his body, nodded with great satisfaction.
He looked down over the entire Hidden Leaf Village, his eyes filled with indifference.
Then, their gaze fell on Naruto.
Thinking of the brutal beating he had just received, Pain's lips twitched imperceptibly, and he muttered something to himself.
"Yahiko, I will never forget your pain. The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki must be captured!!"
His eyes narrowed, filled with unwavering resolve, and in a deep, resonant voice, he declared: "From this moment forward, let the world feel pain!!!"
