In a Japanese-style room, Kizaru sat on the main seat, with Tsunade and Orochimaru sitting on either side of him.
After the New Year, the new semester of Ninja School will come, and the class reform will also begin.
To this end, the three of them started a small exchange meeting in the Shimura family's house.
In front of Kizaru, there were two documents, namely the ninja school scientific research class lesson plan and teaching materials prepared by Orochimaru, and the medical class lesson plan and teaching materials prepared by Tsunade.
Kizaru didn't know much about these professional matters, but he believed in the two professional talents around him.
After briefly flipping through the next two documents, Kizaru looked at the two of them and began to speak.
"I don't know much about the study plan and materials, but I believe in your ability. Since you are ready, it means there is no problem."
Facing Kizaru's trust, Tsunade and Orochimaru both had smiles on their faces. The feeling of being trusted made them feel comfortable.
"Have you considered the candidate for the teacher?"
"Get ready. I have arranged for five medical ninjas from the hospital. They are all experienced and good at teaching."
"I've also made arrangements here."
"It would be great!"
While the three of them were talking, a figure suddenly appeared outside the sliding wooden door.
"Kizaru-sama, there is a bounty ninja who wants to see you."
After hearing the report from the root ninja, Kizaru roughly guessed the identity of the visitor and the reason.
With a playful smile, Kizaru said: "I understand, you should entertain him first."
"Yes!" The root ninja responded and disappeared instantly.
After confirming that the ninja outside the door had left, Tsunade and Orochimaru looked at Kizaru again, with curiosity in their eyes.
"Maybe we will have an extra companion in the future." Facing the gazes of the two people, Kizaru said with a smile.
"Is he the bounty ninja from Kumogakure?" Orochimaru asked proactively.
Nodding, Kizaru simply said: "That guy has Shadow's strength, and he just happened to run into some trouble recently."
His interest was aroused by Kizaru's answer, and Orochimaru's eyes showed excitement, "If you have anything, come to me at any time."
"Kizaru, pay attention to safety." Tsunade couldn't help but worry when she heard the shadow-level powerhouse was in trouble.
Giving Tsunade a reassuring look, Kizaru left his seat and stood up.
"You guys have tea first, I'll be back later."
After saying that, Kizaru left the room under the gaze of the two people.
Sitting in the room arranged by the Konoha ninja, Kakuzu was calm on the surface, but the turmoil in his heart had not yet subsided.
Holding the cash box in his right hand, Kakuzu was waiting for Kizaru's arrival while considering his next plan.
What should I do if that old bastard Uchiha Madara never lets me go?
Join Konoha? No!
Take refuge in Kizaru? Can consider it!
Of course, there is a better option, request or hire Kizaru to kill Uchiha Madara.
But this fee seems a bit difficult to handle.
Kakuzu likes making money, but hates spending money.
Especially because of the money spent caused by such an unnecessary disaster, Kakuzu feels even more heartbroken.
I have been a bounty ninja for most of my life, working to make money.
Unexpectedly, today, I have to spend money to hire someone to help me solve my trouble!
Damn Uchiha Madara! Why don't you die of old age?
Just as Kakuzu was thinking, the door of the room was opened, and Kizaru walked into the room under the leadership of the root ninja.
"You guys go out first!" Kizaru looked at Kakuzu and said.
Without saying anything, the root ninja honestly exited the room and closed the door.
"Oh ho ho! It's been a long time no see! Kakuzu!" Kizaru said with a smile and walked to sit in front of Kakuzu.
"Madara Uchiha found me, he's targeting me." Looking at Kizaru, Kakuzu said directly.
Crossing his legs leisurely, Kizaru said with a smile: "Don't worry, he doesn't dare to enter the village."
Nodding lightly, Kakuzu said: "You Konoha, do you want to kill that old guy?"
If possible, Kakuzu would like to encourage Kizaru and Konoha to kill Uchiha Madara.
If Konoha and Kizaru are so willing, they might be able to take on a hiring mission and make a fortune.
"Kill Uchiha Madara? It's such a terrible thing!" Kizaru complained.
"If you have a plan to kill Uchiha Madara, I can participate and give you a 50% discount."
"Oh ho ho! You really know how to make money, little brother!" Kizaru laughed when he saw that Kakuzu was still thinking about making money at this time.
After hesitating for a moment, Kakuzu made a pained expression and continued: "This time it's free!"
Shaking his head with a smile, Kizaru lowered his raised left leg and stood up.
"The village has no plan to kill Uchiha Madara. If you have this need, maybe you can go to the mission registration office and post a mission, an S-level mission."
"Uchiha Madara is a rebellious ninja in Konoha. He is now recruiting rebellious ninjas and bounty ninjas. There must be a plan against you behind him." Kakuzu continued to persuade.
"To be honest, the person who is eager to kill Uchiha Madara right now should be you! Brother Kakuto!" Kizaru didn't want to continue to pull, and went straight in.
There was a slight change in his expression, and Kakuzu was silent for a moment, "That guy's men chased me for a day and a night until they reached Konoha Village, and then they stopped."
"If you are targeted by Uchiha Madara, it will be difficult for you to continue to make money from bounties!" Kizaru said bluntly.
Nodding, Kakuzu admitted: "Although that guy is old, I am not his opponent."
"Would you like to join us? Become a member of Konoha, and the village will naturally protect you." Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Kizaru extended the invitation again.
"I will not join the Ninja Village anymore. I don't trust the Ninja Village." Kakuzu refused without hesitation.
"Then do you want to consider joining me and becoming my personal companion?" Kizaru asked with a smile.
This time, Kakuzu did not refuse directly. After hesitating and thinking for a while, he said loudly: "I need time to think about it."
"Of course, such a decision takes time, I will give it to you." As a kind person, Kizaru will naturally not force others.
Heaving a sigh of relief in his heart, Kakuzu looked at Kizaru and continued to ask: "If I join you, what are your plans?"
To be honest, in the face of Kakuzu's sudden arrival, Kizaru really didn't think about how to arrange this excellent tool man.
"Your temporary job is only to check and manage accounts. The amount of the task that was previously promised to you will be considered your monthly salary."
"Understood, I need to think about it."
"You will stay with the Shimura clan for the time being, and I will arrange a place for you. Don't worry too much, just treat it as a guest at a friend's house."
Kakuzu nodded, he liked Kizaru's attitude.
"Uchiha Madara, are you really not making any plans?"
Kakuzu believed that with Kizaru's mind, he would not fail to understand that there must be a huge conspiracy behind Uchiha Madarago's sudden recruitment of ninjas after he has survived to this day.
Isn't Kizaru worried? Not curious too?
That was the Shura of the ninja world in the past!
Unfortunately, Kakuzu didn't know that the man in front of him knew Uchiha Madara and his plan better than anyone else, even better than Uchiha Madara himself.
"We always had a plan!" Kizaru replied with a smile.
"Can you tell me?" Kakuzu asked curiously.
"Strengthening yourself is the best response. In front of the powerful, a rat in the sewer will always be just a rat." At this moment, Kizaru was very confident.
"As expected of you! Kizaru!" Kakuzu felt that he had a deeper understanding of Kizaru.
The guy in front of him is far more confident, or domineering, than he realized.
Is this the heart of the new Ninja God? Just like Senju Hashirama back then, the man who let him go.
"Anyway, just settle down and settle down! I believe you will like it here."
After saying that, Kizaru stood up, glanced at Kakuzu with a smile, and prepared to leave.
"The person who receives you will make arrangements for you. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Looking at Kizaru's leaving figure, Kakuzu showed a faint smile.
Back then, I didn't follow the right person and was shamelessly betrayed.
This time, facing the new ninja god, should I make a new bet?
Just when Kakuzu was hesitating and thinking, outside Konoha Village, in a woods about five miles away from the village, Uchiha Madara was standing there.
Looking at Konoha in the distance, Uchiha Madara's mood was slightly complicated.
Hashirama! Looking at the current ninja world, your plan back then has failed. The ninja village system you created cannot bring peace to this world.
I will correct your mistakes, I will bring true peace to this world, I will create a new world, a dream world.
The upper body emerged from the earth, followed Kakuzu and Konoha's Black Zetsu, and returned to Uchiha Madara.
"Madara-sama, Kakuzu is being protected by the people of Konoha."
"Are you in?" Uchiha Madara asked coldly, looking down at Black Zetsu.
"Kakuzu has gone to the Shimura clan's territory. Kizaru is here and I don't dare to get close." Black Zetsu replied.
"Shimura Kizaru!" As he read this name, Uchiha Madara's face became even colder.
In Uchiha Madara's view, in today's ninja world, only that guy is his real enemy.
The bastard who rejected his good intentions and chose to act badly was the one who truly had the strength to stop him.
"You did the right thing, don't mess with that guy, at least not now."
"Are we giving up Kakuzu?"
"No, leave a few Bai Zetsu and keep an eye on the outside. He will always come out."
"As you command, Madara-sama!" Black Zetsu replied with a smile, showing a slightly evil villain smile.
As the real mastermind behind the scenes, Kuro is absolutely opposite to Kizaru, and he hates Konoha very much.
In his opinion, Kizaru was a variable in the plan he had planned for thousands of years, a variable that must be eliminated.
"Madara-sama, for your plan, should we get rid of Kizaru?" Black Zetsu asked deliberately.
"Yes, I will deal with that guy before I die." Looking in the direction of Konoha, Uchiha Madara said seriously.
"That guy is very strong and we need some preparation and some time."
Hearing Uchiha Madara's words, Black Zetsu laughed again. This was exactly what he wanted to hear.
"Black Zetsu, you continue to recruit other ninjas, we need more power."
For safety reasons, Uchiha Madara was not prepared to stay close to Konoha for too long.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Uchiha Madara knew in his heart that he, now old and frail, was no match for Kizaru.
"Yes, Madara-sama!" He replied with a smile, and Black Zetsu sank into the earth again.
Seeing Black Zetsu disappear, Uchiha Madara looked in the direction of Konoha again, took a deep look, then turned and left.
When Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu left, a figure appeared out of thin air not far from their location.
The figure that suddenly appeared was Kizaru, who had followed Black Zetsu when he came back.
The awakening of the fruit's ability, coupled with the improvement of illusions, made Kizaru's ability to become invisible even stronger, and neither the age spots nor Black Zetsu noticed him.
Thank you so much for your gift!
Looking at the direction Uchiha Madara was leaving, Kizaru laughed.
Through Kakuzu's incident, Kizaru discovered a use for Madara, a very good use.
I took medicine and am feeling better today.
Starting tomorrow, after the New Year holiday, two chapters will be updated every day, with a minimum of 6/8 thousand words.
