"May I ask what the leader's next orders are?"
After glancing at his silent and timid partner, Jiaodu, who had already corrected his identity and status, took the lead in asking respectfully.
This title is a direct continuation of his habit during the Akatsuki organization, but the awe contained in it is somewhat different.
After all, someone who was able to completely tame Hidan, a thorn in his side, and even directly make him change his faith,
not much.
In other words, it is impossible to do so!
"Well, you two first go and destroy all the strongholds established by the Akatsuki organization except the Land of Rain."
"If you encounter other members of the Akatsuki organization on the way, fight if you can. If you can't, just call my name in your heart."
As he spoke, two contracts burning with unknown will-o'-the-wisps appeared out of thin air and were pushed toward the two of them.
These are two unilateral master-slave contracts created by the power of the Daughter of Chou Shi.
"I offer you your blood."
The young man followed up with his cold command.
Facing this illusory contract that revealed a strange and ominous nature, Hidan did not dare to be disobedient at all. He immediately used his right hand to touch the blood from his mouth and pressed it directly on the faint will-o'-the-wisp.
Then, a feeling of a distinct imprint on his soul emerged spontaneously, and a pattern of awl nails visible to the naked eye slowly disappeared under the back of his hand.
Such an operation, which is like a miracle, also makes the piety in his heart more intense. After all, it is much more practical than simply using an iron triangle necklace to mark the existence of the evil god.
Seeing that his partner offered his blood without hesitation, Kakuzu did not dare to neglect, then he bit his own finger and pressed it towards the contract in front of him.
Suddenly, a similar feeling and the mark representing the master-slave contract were applied to him one after another.
There are extremely complex emotions arousing in his eyes,
After all, he has been free for almost a hundred years, relying on the secret technique of immortality to fear neither heaven nor earth. Unexpectedly, he would be shackled today.
However, such complicated emotions were quickly restrained.
It is precisely because he has lived for nearly a hundred years that he cherishes his own life more than ordinary people, and he also knows better what reverence means.
"Don't you need us to kill them directly, or continue to collect tailed beasts or something?"
Kakuzu asked proactively.
If you want to live well and live long, offering to do something for the leader is undoubtedly the best attitude.
"Need not,"
"My goal is not Akatsuki and the tailed beasts."
"And Hidan aside, you don't want to die again, do you?"
While denying it, Huang also asked rhetorically.
In the final analysis, unlike Hidan, what the former has is just a false immortality with a few more lives than ordinary people.
"yes."
Hearing this, Kakuzu's green eyes shrank slightly, as if this rhetorical question touched something in his heart that he could not express.
"Then we'll leave immediately."
He immediately added that for a qualified bounty hunter, there is no need for rest time, or in other words, the rest time is on the way to the destination.
The same principle applies to a certain believer. ….
However, before leaving, Kakuzu still couldn't suppress the restlessness in his heart, and then said:
"Chief, can I take that monk's body away?"
"This corpse can be exchanged for a bounty of thirty million taels on the underground black market."
"I will pay every penny of this bounty."
The way he spoke was very respectful and careful, for fear of touching the other person's bad mood.
Of course, the fundamental reason for asking for the body was for the heart.
After all, he used to maintain an abundant state of five lives, but now he only has one life left, which makes him somewhat uneasy.
especially in
When he betrays the Akatsuki organization, it means that he has to be mentally prepared to be chased by the former.
[Absolute] Let’s not mention the strength of that ghost for the moment, but its ability to lurk and track is still extremely powerful.
The only good news now is that there seems to be some problems between Payne and Jue, and there should be no revenge in the short term.
But everything is possible.
"You can take the heart of Earth Land."
Looking at Xiao Jiujiu, who was carefully organizing the financial housekeeper in front of him, a single word of nonsense revealed Xiao Jiujiu in his heart.
Such an answer immediately made Kakuzu's expression stagnant, and then a hint of shame and awe that he didn't know how to place appeared in his eyes.
Not only because his inner thoughts were penetrated by the former, but also because the identity of the great monk was no longer in the blind spot of the other party's cognition.
"Yes, thank you chief."
After a little downtime, he immediately expressed his gratitude.
"Just hand over half of the bounties you earn from Dilu and the rest, and distribute the rest among yourself."
Huang didn't respond to his subordinate's gratitude, but added it as appropriate.
This addition once again caused an inexplicable wave in Kakuzu's eyes.
Although he doesn't care about these bounties, unlike Xiao, he has a sum of money that does not belong to the organization and can be spent by himself.
This is a difference in nature and meaning!
Once he was just a thug, now he is a thug with a certain salary! !
"But there is one thing. Whether it is the ninja heart you obtain in the future or the bounty commission you accept, you must distinguish between good and evil."
"You know what I mean?"
Ara asked, looking into Kakuzu's eyes.
As for Hidan, he was relieved.
Unless the so-called evil god can truly materialize and deal with himself, so that his faith can be restored.
Otherwise, if you point east, this guy will never dare to go west.
"Yes, I understand."
"Then let's retreat first."
Mindful of the terrifying intimidation bursting out from the leader's eyes, Kakuzu answered carefully.
[With a formal establishment, there must be certain rules. 】
He convinced himself in his mind.
[By the way, the black market itself should be considered a type of evil, right? 】
[How about destroying the stronghold of the Akatsuki organization and then shuffling the black market? 】
And in just a short moment, he found another breakthrough to realize his self-worth.
However, before the undead duo carried Jilu away, Aara did not forget to obtain some blood from his body, which was the material used to summon the shikigami Aobo Lord. ….
Without caring about the subordinates present, he directly manifested a blue talisman and conducted a psychic summons.
Just because he didn't have any good feelings towards the monks from the Fire Country Temple who had made things difficult for him, he didn't want to collect his blood anymore and take it back to the Country of Yu:
"The demons from the other shore follow my blood and come to this realm to be used by me."
"Your name is Master Qingbo!"
As the talisman shattered, golden light poured out, and a young monk wearing a green shirt and holding a Zen staff appeared stepping on the dazzling Buddha light.
And while appearing, a series of soliloquies about vicissitudes of life that were somewhat inconsistent with his appearance and age also blurted out:
"The donor's body is so full of death."
"well,"
"Surely, no matter which world you are in, you can't get rid of crime and killing?"
"Then meeting each other is a bad fate, please let the young monk save you."
"From now on, enter my Buddhist door and devote yourself to doing good."
"Infinite!"
With the last loud shout, golden light bloomed all over the sky beside him, and obscure Buddhist sounds murmured.
However, during this period, the first restraint that even restricted Asura's arrival did not take effect.
I don’t know if it’s because this great monk doesn’t really have the intention to kill.
This is because they only sang Buddhist scriptures and did not directly use force.
In short, Huang felt that his whole body was wrapped in an inexplicable discomfort.
Not only him, but also the ninja swordsmen present. After all, in the final analysis, these guys are also guilty of blood debt.
However, because such an existence was the product of his own master, he did not act rashly.
"That's it?"
"Unfortunately."
"The Buddha will not save me."
The giant black chakra palm suddenly appeared, like a tengu eclipsing the moon, slowly and slowly engulfing the golden light that filled the mountain, until he himself was imprisoned in the giant palm.
"Master Aobo, right?"
"Would you like to make a bet? Keep it with me and see if you can save me first or fall into the path of killing with me."
Looking at the great monk who showed disbelief, Huang Zhu said in confusion.
You must use different ways to form a contract with each shikigami, and it should be the obsession in the other person's heart for the time being.
Bai Yi found this place not long after, following the marks left by Zabuza.
"The three Sunagakures are all awake except for the jounin Maki, and have already joined up with the ninjas from Sunagakure's side."
"Your tribe has also arrived at the edge of the forest connecting the Valley of the End at dawn. If there is no pause and rest during the period, it is expected that they will be able to reach the border of Tian Country tomorrow evening."
He was half kneeling on the ground, adhering to the etiquette of superiors and subordinates.
"Um,"
After receiving the message, Huang nodded slightly and then looked at the red-haired boy who was still lying on the ground.
"So, how long will you continue to be unconscious?"
Nothing can fool the Sharingan.
Thanks to the termination of the sealing technique, the chakra in Gaara's body has also tended to run smoothly, and restoration of consciousness is the normal state.
Therefore, when the question came into his ears, Gaara had no intention of continuing to pretend and stood up from the ground without saying a word. ….
However, judging from his emotionless eyes, there was still wariness in his heart.
Of course, this is understandable.
Standing around him were some strange ninjas who were powerful but whose intentions were not clear.
"What exactly do you want from me?"
After calming down for a moment, Gaara looked directly into those terrifying scarlet eyes and asked.
He would not simply think that the other party had no intention of taking it back from the Akatsuki organization.
At first, he thought that the other party wanted to get the Ichibi Shukaku in his body.
But it seems that this is not the case now, because when he is unconscious, the other party is fully capable of taking it away.
Moreover, this is the second opportunity like this.
"Before answering your question, I also want to ask you a question."
Aara did not answer Gaara's question directly, but instead spoke in a direct manner.
Not allowing the other party to continue, he raised the question on his own:
"Facing a force that is willing to accept you, protect you, and the ninjas around you will become your partner and comrade-in-arms, and will never abandon you."
"After joining, what will you do with your own power?"
Such questions struck Gaara's unsound mind like thunder.
This is a luxury he has longed for since he was born, but after experiencing utter rejection and betrayal again and again, he no longer dares to have such an idea.
After all, even the man he called his father wanted to kill him! !
he,
Gaara,
He is a person who has been abandoned by the whole world!
He is Shura who is destined to only love himself! !
"If there is, then I will dedicate everything to it."
Look at those terrifying eyes, Gaara
He answered in the calmest and restrained voice possible.
However, there is still something unspoken in his heart.
[But that force is a peach blossom garden that only exists in imagination. 】
[Even Sand Hidden Village is unwilling to accept me, and even more so is other villages. 】
"Ah, very good."
Huang nodded lightly.
And stretched out his hand to Bai on one side.
"Sorry, Shiro, lend me your forehead protector."
Hearing the sound, the ice warrior wearing a half-broken mask took off his forehead protector without any hesitation and placed it in the palm of his master's hand.
Afterwards, Huang held on to the still-warm "demon" word protector on his forehead and walked towards the little demon raccoon who suddenly started to panic in his eyes.
"So, do you want to add Yaoyin Village?"
"Well, the name of the village probably means 'a place where evildoers hide. If you want to know the exact meaning, you can ask Qianno later."
Thinking of the time before when that girl led everyone to appear and directly revealed the name of a ninja village that he had never heard of, Huang was still a little confused.
"If after joining, someone in the village rejects or is hostile to you because of your status as a Jinchuriki, tell me and I will expel them."
"Don't worry about Shukaku, he will behave and become your friend."
"So, what's your final decision?"
Listening to the conditions that refreshed his understanding one after another, Gaara's breathing gradually began to become constricted.
Can those things that he can only imagine in his dreams really come true in this world?
[Yaoyin Village,]
【What kind of paradise is that? 】
The longing thought forced him to cast his gaze on the somewhat stained Yaoyin forehead protector, but he did not pick it up directly, but looked into the former's eyes and asked again.
"What do I need to do after joining?"
"That's what you promised just now."
Huang did not add any conditions.
After all, this is the fifth generation Kazekage who single-handedly protects the entire Sunagakure Village.
How could I not want to believe in the will and belief that the other party has?
"I see."
Gaara's eyes once again met those eyes that had not changed at all, and his raised palm fell on the forehead protector that still retained the residual warmth of his companion.
The light and shadow were passing by, and when the demon was approaching, a thin figure also chased to the hollowed-out mountain.
"Gaara!"
Before the body was stable, the anxious call was already blurted out.
Facing the faint cave entrance that swallowed up the skylight, Temari rushed in without any concern.
However, the place is already deserted.
However, looking around, she finally found only a forehead protector on the ground that symbolized Sunagakure Village...
Want to sleep in the dark
