Chapter 69 Subjugation
The newcomer was none other than Kakuzu, a future member of the Akatsuki's elite team.
Shiba Kiyokawa, however, was somewhat curious: "How did you find out that we're paying Jonin here? And why did you come looking for me?"
Kakuzu said impatiently, "I don't care where I know that. Just answer me, why can't I receive the money? If you have any other requests, you can mention them all, as long as you get the money!"
They really only care about money.
However, this guy was surprisingly loyal to his contract. Even in this situation, he didn't intend to rob anyone. Instead, he seriously said, "You can make any requests at the same time."
Just like in the original story, he's a chosen working-class guy.
So Shiba Kiyokawa actually asked, "If I said I needed to make an enemy of that demigod of the ninja world, would you be afraid?"
Kakuzu immediately let out an angry sneer: "You mean that Hanzo of the Salamander from your Land of Rain? Ha! That kind of guy dares to call himself a demigod? What a joke! He's far inferior to the true God of Shinobi."
Shiba Kiyokawa smiled knowingly. "Oh? So you know a lot about the God of Shinobi?"
Kakuzu seemed to be provoked.
"Shut up, brat! Are you deliberately provoking me?!"
"No, I was just testing your courage." Shiba Kiyokawa laughed gleefully.
However, the next moment, he changed the subject and said, "Now I can give you my formal answer: you can take the money, but only if you have the courage to fight against that demigod with us and bring true peace to the Land of Rain."
Kakuzu thought for a moment and said, "Is this a commission? How much are you planning to pay for Hanzo's head?"
Shiba Kiyokawa shook his head.
He certainly didn't intend to pay according to the commission; that would be too expensive.
"No, no, it's just an invitation for you to join our business."
Once you join us, we will be working together on a common cause. In the future, we will make a lot of money together, and we will eventually become incredibly wealthy!
But in the initial stages of struggle, we need to advance and retreat together.
In modern times, Shiba Kiyokawa's behavior has a common name: "drawing a pie in the sky"!
This is a must-learn course for every unscrupulous boss.
Unfortunately, Kakuzu, who had been a ninja all his life, had never experienced such a unique skill before, and was immediately shaken.
He instinctively sensed something was wrong: how could a commission go unpaid?
But the prospect of immense wealth that this person spoke of stirred a burning desire within him...
In particular, Shiba Kiyokawa, who is well-versed in human weaknesses, not only seduces him but also provokes him.
"What? Are you scared? Are you terrified just by hearing the name of a demigod in the ninja world?"
"Shut up, brat! I told you, you frogs in a well from the Land of Rain are not worthy of being compared to that ninja god!"
He panicked!
Upon seeing this, Shiba Kiyokawa immediately smiled again.
He knew that he had already succeeded halfway.
"In that case, let me experience your strength firsthand."
I've heard of that Konoha's God of Shinobi, but I wonder how much of his skill you actually possess!
Since meeting Kakuzu by chance is a kind of fate, then when fate has run its course, Shiba Kiyokawa has no intention of letting him go!
Drawing a pie in the sky is a form of enticement; repeatedly mentioning the God of Ninjas is a veiled insult; after all this buildup, it's time for a fair and square surrender!
Kakuzu has lived for so many years and has his own pride; talking to him alone is definitely not enough.
Catching Pokémon requires a combination of care and battle.
"Hmph, brat, then let this old man teach you how to respect the seniors of the ninja world!"
Neither of them refused.
He probably didn't even realize that this meant his heart had wavered.
The other members of the Akatsuki quickly dispersed, making room for the leader of the Qinghe organization.
The efficiency and speed of their actions startled Kakuzu slightly, and he finally felt a bit of pressure.
The ninjas around him had an unexpectedly high level of trust in this kid!
"snort!"
However, he did not back down because of this!
Having lived for so many years, he believed that apart from that deceased ninja god, no one else could make him tremble!
The flag has been planted.
The battle begins immediately!
"Fire Release: Head Carving!"
Kakuzu took the initiative and immediately launched his signature large-scale fire jutsu!
The fire surged like a tide, spreading rapidly along the ground and rushing towards Shiba Kiyokawa!
"Water Release·Water Formation Wall!"
However, Shiba Kiyokawa has not been idle these days; his various ninjutsu are also improving rapidly.
The water barrier he erected was far more robust than the defenses of those small fry from the Rain Ninja not long ago!
"Sizzle!"
The fire wave crashed into the wall of water, instantly creating a large amount of steam and white mist.
Kakuzu remained expressionless, but was actually slightly surprised inside.
The amount of chakra the person on the other side has is nothing like that of a teenager!
How could such a genius exist in a remote place like the Land of Rain?
Before he could finish his reflection, five figures instantly emerged from the white mist and rushed towards the stunned Kakuzu.
"Shadow clones? How boring!"
"Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"
He then unleashed another wide-range wind escape technique, thinking he could instantly wipe out these fragile clones!
But what he saw next surprised him even more!
Five Shiba Kiyokawa figures flashed before my eyes, their forms like the stuttering of an old-fashioned projector, skipping frames with every blink.
After several consecutive interruptions, all of Shiba Kiyokawa's were out of the Wind Release's range!
"What kind of technique is this? Teleportation? Or some other special movement method?"
Not long ago, Kakuzu was full of confidence, thinking that he had lived for decades and could even escape unscathed in front of the God of Shinobi. What kind of situation hadn't he seen?
But just a few seconds into the battle, he realized that he had never seen this scene before!
Recently, Shiba Kiyokawa has practically jumped into his face!
Unable to distinguish between reality and illusion for the moment, Kakuzu had no choice but to cautiously separate a mask from his body, transforming it into a huge black shadow monster, which then retreated behind him.
At the same time, he disassembled his own body and threw a punch.
"Secret Technique: Tentacle Fist!"
The black lines separated his wrist from his elbow.
Kakuzu's punch sent his fist and half of his forearm flying out like a cannonball!
At the same time, the masked monster that had retreated behind him was also simultaneously using ninjutsu.
"Lightning Release: False Darkness!"
This combination technique has killed countless ninjas on their very first encounter!
Kakuzu's lips curled slightly beneath his mask, thinking to himself, "Now it's your turn to be surprised, kid!"
Unexpectedly, Shiba Kiyokawa, as if he had anticipated this, stopped in front of him.
Faced with an ordinary punch that would give no warning to an average person, he seemed to have a premonition, suddenly leaning back and bending his waist at a breathtaking angle!
He narrowly escaped Kakuzu's detached punch!
"What?!"
That wasn't all. What shocked Kakuzu even more was that at the same time, the masked monster behind him was also approached!
With a single slash, he severed the entanglement of the silk threads. Then, as if he had foreseen the monster's weakness, Shiba Kiyokawa placed one hand directly on the mask.
"Sealing Technique!"
Only then did Kakuzu completely panic!
Why does this brat seem to know so much about me?!
Who exactly is he?!
