Four hearts were shattered in an instant, and the last heart was pointed at with a water knife. Only then did Kakuzu finally wake up from the joy and fanaticism of chasing the bounty, and realized that he might have been fooled this time!
The last time he felt like this was when he accepted the village's commission to assassinate the first Hokage Senju Hashirama decades ago.
There is another similarity between the two experiences, that is, the opponent is an outrageous monster who does not need to form a seal and can do whatever he shouts!
Of course, Hinata Inaba is currently only able to give up some of the seals in the fields of thunder escape and water escape, and has not yet reached the point where Hashirama does not have any seals at all.
But the visual impact presented from Kakuzu's perspective is still terrifying!
"You...who are you?!"
At this moment, Kakuzu looked at Hinata Inaba, and his eyes were filled with the shadow of Senju Hashirama from back then...
It's a pity that Hinata Inaba is not as upright as Hashirama, and he is not as easy to talk to as Hashirama.
"Me? I'm just a ronin. I don't have any chakra skills worth mentioning. It's not worth mentioning."
At this moment, Kakuzu and Inigaki Kisame's moods were surprisingly the same——
I believe you!
Nowadays, this world is the world of ninjas. Even the samurai have declined and can only survive in the Iron Kingdom in the north of the mainland. As for ronin, they are synonymous with folk fish!
You claim to be a ronin even though you have strength comparable to that of a ninja god. Are you trying to make fun of us?
But unlike the sincere Senju Hashirama, Hinata Inaba still insists on telling lies even though he knows you don't believe it, which makes people hate you but is helpless.
At this moment, Kakuzu even missed the battle that year.
At least Hashirama won't play with his intelligence...
"Okay, don't think too much, now is not the time to talk about this."
Then Hinata Inaba handed the water knife forward again, causing Kakuzu's last heart to tighten even more.
The effect was immediate, and Kakuzu's excess curiosity was instantly cut off.
"Tell me honestly, where did you get our itinerary and departure time? Is the person who sold you the information the Watermelon Mountain Fugu Ghost from Kirigakure ANBU?"
Kakuzu didn't expect that he could be lucky enough to save a life just to confirm this kind of thing.
At that moment, not only was he stunned, but Kisame Kisaki on the side was also a little stunned.
However, their moods were completely different.
Kakuzu was helpless and humiliated, but Inikigaki Kisame actually felt a bit flattered.
Not long ago, when Hinata Inaba first recruited him, he actually didn't feel much about it, because at that time, the invitation from a mere consultant of the chamber of commerce was not considered important in the eyes of Mikigakaki Kisame.
But it’s different now!
Hinata Inaba has already taken action to show his incomparable awe-inspiring strength!
Under this situation, the other party was still thinking about him, and the touch he received from Inikigaki Kisame was completely different from just now!
He would no longer be puzzled that Hinata Inaba was still thinking about this kind of problem at this time.
On the contrary, he will only feel quite honored!
This is the impact of strength!
The last heart was pointed at, and Kakuzu had no choice at this time but to obey.
“Yes, your reasoning is correct, our source of information is indeed the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost.
I received a total of two bounties, one for killing you, the one who paid was the Daimyo of the Land of Water, the bounty was 30 million taels;
The other one was to kill all the Kirigakure team's guards so that they had no chance to return to the village. The one who paid was the ANBU of Kirigakure Village, with a bounty of eight million taels. "
At that moment, Mikigaki Kisame's last chance was finally shattered.
He was indeed sold.
Just like the original work, this time it was still the Watermelon Mountain puffer ghost who tricked him.
It's just that in the original work, he was tricked into Xiao, but now he obviously has another way out.
Hinata Inaba then looked at Mikisaki Kisame.
"So, am I right? You have no chance to go back. Besides, I won the previous bet. Kisame, come with me."
At that moment Kakuzu actually hesitated to speak.
Because he keenly felt that Hinata Inaba's words "You have no chance to go back" were nonsense!
Although the assassination commission of the Watermelon Mountain Blowfish Ghost was issued in the name of Kirigakure Anbu, he was obviously on the side of the rebellion.
But now it seems that this rebellion is destined to fail. Why can't Kisame Kisame go back when the rebellion is put down?
Kakuzu felt that Hinata Inaba was clearly bullying Inikisaki because Kisame had too little information.
Unfortunately, before he could speak, Hinata Inaba gave him a cryptic look, and quietly brought the tip of the water jet a little closer to his heart.
This made Kakuzu's eyes suddenly clearer.
What deception? What bullying? Can the matter involving the Chamber of Commerce be called bullying? My real-name support from Kakuzu is Mr. Consultant’s recruitment of Mr. Kisame Inakisaki!
Kakuzu's eyes clearly conveyed such sincere thoughts at this moment.
Sometimes seeing through is just a little clever, but not telling is a great wisdom.
Jiaodu, who has been living in seclusion for so many years, obviously has wisdom.
So he was acting particularly well-behaved at the moment.
And Kisame Inigangaki obviously doesn't know that many inside stories. He doesn't have a clear enough understanding of the situation of his village, whether in the original book or the current world line.
In the end, you can only go with the flow.
In the original work, his being recruited into the Akatsuki organization by Obito is simply a black humor, because the blood mist that caused him to rebel against the village was precisely caused by Obito.
But now he is following Hinata Inaba in this world line, at least it is not a joke from hell.
"Hey..." After a long sigh, Inikisaki Kisame finally made a choice, "If I can't go back to the village, I will just follow you. What do you need me to do?"
At that moment, Hinata Inaba smiled happily.
He successfully collected a tailless beast. With this harvest, his visit to the country of water was not in vain.
"Protect the rest of my caravan first and continue to complete the purchase. I will return to Kirigakure Village to check the situation, and then I will give you follow-up instructions. Hinata Inaba arranged it this way.
He knew very well that he couldn't let Inikisaki Kisame return to the village now.
Otherwise, once Kisame and Terumi Mei confront each other and the information gap is smoothed out, they may still choose to return to Kirigakure Village with this gain.
He won't let the duck fly!
Kisame obviously wanted to return to the village at this time, but Hinata Inaba stopped him with just one sentence.
"After all, you accepted our commission. Ninjas should complete their missions from beginning to end, right?"
"..."
Kisame Kisaki had nothing to say.
"All right."
Then he turned around to take care of his three seriously injured teammates, as well as Kito Suigetsu, who had been unconscious in the fog early in the morning - this child obviously couldn't escape the clutches of Hinata Inaba.
They are all destined to be Hinata Inaba's harvest.
And then the moment Inigaki Kisame turned around——
Hinata Inaba's water jet quickly moved forward!
Completely pierced Kakuzu's last heart!
"you?!"
At the end of his life, Kakuzu looked at him in disbelief.
I obviously didn't mean to expose you, but you actually——?
But Hinata Inaba looked at him, as if looking at someone behind him, raised the corners of his mouth, and murmured deliberately in a low voice.
"You really don't think you can survive, do you? If you return to your organization alive, my accomplices will be exposed."
Hinata Inaba's voice was so low that he didn't even hear Mikigaki Kisame who turned his head.
But he guessed that someone behind Kakuzu could probably be captured.
He was looking forward to how Nagato, the current leader of the Akatsuki organization, would react when he heard this whisper.
Will you still trust Obito as before?
