Chapter 286 - 286 - Cooperation? No, I Am Short Of Subordinates!
"Hahahaha, LogueTown is in front, we are back to LogueTown."
"Finally, we're back!"
"Long live LogueTown~"
On the river of the Country of River, a huge pirate ship slowly drove up. On the pirate flag was a heart. Judging from its appearance, this pirate ship should be very powerful and domineering.
But now it is very shabby, and the pirate flags are already broken.
Kakuzu appeared on the bow.
"Move everything out, ready to go back."
"Yes, boss."
Boxes were moved out of the Ship warehouse, and Kakuzu looked back at these boxes, with satisfaction in his eyes.
Although no devil fruit was found on this trip to the sea.
But Kakuzu didn't care, he ransacked a small sea country and grabbed a pile of gold.
This is the pleasure of pirates.
"Boss, what shall we do next? Should we go back selling comics, or set sail again?"
His subordinates, who tasted the sweetness of success, asked eagerly.
Although life on the sea is hard, they can get some profit after disembarking. Although transporting comics can also make money, there is no way it can be compared to a handful of gold and jewellery they have right now.
"Take a break and we'll talk later."
After going out to sea, Kakuzu was very satisfied.
Before, he really didn't know that there was still so much money to make at sea. If it wasn't for Akabane, how could he make so much money in one go?
When he disembarked, his first thought was to go to the tavern and see if Akabane was there, so that he could share his experience at sea with him.
But as soon as he entered the pub, he turned his head and saw an old man sitting on a table near the door.
He frowned slightly, then suddenly thought of something in his mind, and walked back calmly.
Uchiha Madara!
How can such a character still survive in the world?
Kakuzo's heart was shocked, and the thought of competing with Uchiha Madara didn't even appear on his mind at all!
Because he knew that he was not Madara's opponent at all.
The opponent is a terrible guy who is on par with the First Hokage!
He exited the tavern and walked calmly to the other side of the Ship, pretending that he didn't see Madara.
However,
When he walked to the dock, the old man appeared not far from him again.
There is no murderous intent, chakra fluctuation, and he just glances over, but Kakuzu completely confirmed that this old man is the same famous Madara, Senju Hashirama rival back then!
And he can't be wrong with his judgement!
Back then, he had seen Uchiha Madara from afar, those terrifying eyes that instil fear in everyone.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect anyone in the world to recognize me as Uchiha Madara, but it is strange..."
Madara looked at him.
He had seen too many people, but a character like Kakuzu, he really couldn't remember him for a while.
Kakuzu's heart was beating fast as he saw Madara getting closer. And although he looks like a normal old man, his sense of danger keeps beeping that he knows he won't survive if Madara attacks him!
But he quickly adjusted his state quickly.
As he found that Madara in front of him was just a shadow clone.
If he is just a clone...
"Interesting, you actually have five hearts, this kind of technique... I remember it should be a kind of Secret Jutsu from Hidden Waterfall Village."
Madara's eyes have unconsciously revealed the Eternal Mangekyo pattern.
The strength of Kakuzu is quite strong.
Even Madara didn't have the confidence to easily subdue Kakuzu in this situation, but he didn't embarrass Kakuzu this time, he just waited idly for opportunities and found someone who recognized him.
"As expected of Senior Madara, Yes, I am a Rebel Ninja of the Hidden Waterfall Village."
Kakuzu took a deep breath and didn't choose to do it.
Because the opponent is not hostile for unknown reasons.
"I'm not interested in your name. Have you found the devil fruit when you came back?"
Madan asked indifferently.
"No."
Kakuzu shook his heads, feeling ridiculous at the same time——
Although he said this trip was going to the sea to find devil fruit, he himself didn't really believe it.
On the contrary.
He didn't think that a strong character such as Uchiha Madara would believe that there will be such nonsense that there will be devil fruits in the world.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing.
Even the strong are unavoidably stupid in the face of the unknown.
Madara glanced at him and said coldly: "Don't use your stupid ideas to infer me, especially if you give me words like'stupid' if you don't want to die."
Ugh...
Kakuzu was stunned for a moment, and his heart felt a little hairy.
How does Madara know what he thinks?
But soon, Kakuzu calmed down and asked, "Senior Madara, you shouldn't be looking for me just to ask about these boring things?"
"This question is not boring at all, do you think there is really no devil fruit in the world?"
Madara said lightly.
After hearing this, Kakuzu was stunned for a moment, and then thought of one thing--
According to the news from the sea, the Jashinists had a devil fruit that was snatched away, and that person's strength was very strong, and a large Earth Release: Earth Flow River washed away everyone.
So to say!
"Could it be..."
Kakuzu's face turned pale, then he felt for a moment and understood one thing better.
The moment he saw Mangekyo Sharingan just now, he was hit by Genjutsu. That meant that he was in the world of Illusion. And killing him with Genjutsu is definitely easy with Madara's strength, but the other party did not do so…
So he couldn't help but ask; "Do you want to cooperate with me?"
"No, what I lack is a subordinate, you are willing to live as my subordinate, otherwise you will die."
Madara's use of the Shadow Clone and Genjutsu, are all for concealment.
Although that guy is not back yet from the Land-of-Wind, that guy has strong perception, reconnaissance and hiding abilities, and he might reveal his secrets if he is not careful.
At the same time, because of his loss, Madara has to find a suitable subordinate to help him do something that is not suitable for him to do.
And Kakuzu is considered to be an object with good ability.
….
From the moment he knew that Madara didn't plan to leave the Land of River, Akabane was fully prepared for the situation here.
A polished commander can't do big things.
but...
Judging from the news reported by the clone of Orochimaru, although something happened in the Land of River, but after Kakuzu came back, Kakuzu didn't stop any transaction happening in the LogueTown, but he still kept it.
That means that there is no problem on the surface.
It is difficult for Akabane to guess the truth of the matter, but he simply put Kakuzu into the untrustworthy areas——
There is no such thing as a strong relationship between himself and Kakuzu. And there is no commitment and loyalty between them. Moreover, people like Kakuzu can only talk about benefits.
….
In the past two days, his updates have slowed down, but the appearance of Hidan strength has caused some lunatics to pay attention to Akabane.
….
At the Country of Water, the base of the Jashinists.
A group of believers put some blood and corpses into the vessel, muttering words, and among them are fruit-like things.
It's the Fake "Devil Fruit".
After a long time, the sacrifice was over.
Everyone stopped, and an old man said: "Recently, Konoha's comics mentioned our Lord Jashin. They probably have some information..."
"My lord, why don't we go to the Land of Fire next time to hold a ceremony, I believe that Lord Jashin must like the blood of Konoha atheists."
Someone suggested.
These fake devil fruits become an element to spread their Jashinists.
Since the last sale, many ninjas have been added to the Jashinists Cult. Some of them are qualified experimental subjects to gain the power of Jashinists regeneration ability, but the cost is that the accumulated Jashin power is very expensive and needs to be supplemented.
The old man smiled slightly and said: "Recently, the Second Kazekage of Sand Village has disappeared, but the Sand Village is afraid to do it, so let's do it first and give them more courage."
"Yes!"
"FOR LORD JASHIN!!"
Howled all the cultists, and the look on their eyes can only be described as Crazy!
Although the people here are high-level people, they are more inclined to management and research, but they are equally obsessed with killing.
Fear?
It's not in their vocabulary!
That night, a group of heresy cultists arrived in the land of fire from the water country by boat...
When Konoha got the news, it was already the next day.
Akabane's new comic has been updated.
In this update, Naruto has only five chapters, but in these five chapters, Asuma is officially dead.
And he died from a lack of intelligence.
Like in the previous life, the readers were very surprised by Asuma's death, but unlike in the previous life, most of the readers of Naruto were ninjas, and everyone understood this situation well.
Intelligence.
The battle between ninjas is not just a competition of strength, but also a competition of intelligence. The collection and understanding of intelligence on both sides is really important.
This is the case with Asuma and Hidan.
If Asuma knew that Hidan has this kind of ability, would Asuma let Hidan get his blood so easily?
Impossible.
Taking this opportunity, the Hyuga clan once again conveyed to the village the demands of the city's formal reconnaissance department.
There is no doubt that the Hyuga clan wants to become the minister of the reconnaissance department.
Those who have white eyes do have a great advantage here. If a reconnaissance department is really established, unless Uzumaki Mito comes out of the mountain, the position of the minister must be the head of the Hyuga clan.
However...
From the last war to the present, Hiruzen has not expressed his views.
Until morning.
This time not only the Hyuga clan, including Inuzuka, Aburame and other clans who are good at reconnaissance, were all called to the office.
In addition to them, there is Akabane.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Akabane arrived last--if it hadn't been for Anbu's reminder, he might still be asleep.
"No, you're just right."
Hiruzen pointed to the seat and let Akabane sit down by himself.
Afterwards, he sent down the copied notes.
Akabane got one of them, and it said that the whole village of XX was slaughtered, and there were traces of some kind of ritual on the scene. Then looking at the people nearby——
Looking at the copy near them, the location name of each note is different!
Jashinists!
Everyone turned their heads at the same time and looked at the Third Hokage.
Hiruzen was silent for a moment and then said: "The Jashinists are here, and they are frantic...Akabane, you have been in contact with the Jashinists a lot. Tell me about what you know."
"I actually don't know much about those Jashinists, but one thing can be confirmed. They have the technology to transform the human body with the Jashin Chakra. And the artificial devil fruit is one of the examples of their use of Jashin Chakra."
[Ps: Jashin in English is Devil God]
Akabane explained.
"So, what is our task?"
Mazazu Hyuga looked solemnly.
"Within a week, wipe out all the Jashinists in the Land of Fire."
The tone of the Third Hokage was cold.
Konoha is in an eventful autumn, and a turmoil like this must be dealt with quickly, otherwise, it will easily become the fuse for the rest of Shinobu Village.
"I gave an order to formally establish a reconnaissance department with Mazazu Hyuga as the minister. It is temporarily responsible for investigating the whereabouts of the members of the cult. Once the cult is found, they will be killed as much as possible while preserving your own safety. And Kurama Akabane is in charge of Support."
"Yes."
Akabane got up and took the task.
The supporter means that he has extremely fast speed and the ability to change the battlefield.
He has this ability completely.
These heretics are crazy.
They had been active in the country of water before, and everyone ignored them, but since they entered the Country of Fire, they should be prepared to be killed!
