Naruto: Six Paths of the Senju Family

"Kakuzu!"

"If you don't get up, you may not be able to save your remaining two hearts!"

Naoki ignored Kyuubi's self-promotion, curled his fingers and popped out a water ball, hitting Kakuzu's side.

Feeling the cold touch of water splashing on his neck, Kakuzu's heart suddenly became cold at this moment.

"How can it be?"

"How could anyone in the ninja world know the weakness of the Earth Resentment Yu secret technique?"

Kakuzu's body lying on the water trembled, and he slowly stood up.

The flesh and blood on the chest where it was penetrated squirmed, and dense black tentacles grew, quickly repairing Kakuzu's wound.

Kakuzu released the hand covering his chest, reached out and took off the shattered mask representing the wind attribute on his back and threw it into the water, looking at the rope tree with a gloomy expression.

"Immortal ninja?"

"What a great name!"

Naoki looked at Kakuzu who no longer pretended to be dead, with a sneer on his face.

"It's just a monster that relies on the secret technique of earth resentment to rob other people's hearts and survive!"

"In addition to the water attribute heart in your body, there is also an Earthly Resentment that you separated and hid underground, right?"

"If there is no other way, your life will end here!"

Kakuzu's pupils suddenly shrank, and he felt as if he had been stripped of his clothes and exposed in front of others.

The secret of his immortality and his reliance on unexpected victory are all controlled by the rope tree.

"Wood Release-Tree Realm..."

Naoki looked at the indifferent Kakuzu, and put his hands together in front of him with a snap, about to activate his wooden escape to end his life.

Kakuzu's expression suddenly changed when he saw Naoki's movements.

"etc!"

"The Fourth Hokage, wait!"

The corner of Naoki's mouth curved in a subtle arc, stopped what he was doing, and looked at Kakuzu with interest.

"The Fourth Hokage!"

"According to the rules of the ninja world, the defeated party can demand a ransom in exchange for the chance to continue to survive!"

"The reward for the Fourth Hokage on the black market is 800 million taels. I am willing to offer you 1 billion in exchange for my life."

Kakuzu looked at the rope tree nervously.

My own foundation was thoroughly understood by the other party, who had three hearts destroyed without even using Wood Escape.

Faced with such an enemy, Kakuzu knew that he had no room for resistance.

Although money is important, at this time, Kakuzu can only reluctantly part ways and try to gain a glimmer of hope of survival through negotiation.

A hidden smile flashed in Naoshu's eyes, but his face showed an unmoved look.

"One billion taels?"

"Kakuzu-dono, I'm afraid you haven't realized your own value yet!"

"Just one billion taels, it's nothing to you, right?"

"And...as long as I kill you, everything on you will be mine!"

Kakuzu looked at Naoki who was trying to form a seal again, and finally understood Naoki's plan.

He gritted his teeth angrily and cursed in his heart:

"Greedy vampire!"

"It turns out that you want to extort more ransom from me, you are so despicable!"

"damn it!"

"Who put this monster's bounty on the black market?"

"If the old man finds out... hmph!"

But now people work as swordsmen, and I work as fish and meat. Kakuzu had no choice but to hold back the feeling of cutting flesh and quoted a price again.

"Two billion taels! This is my entire net worth!"

"The Fourth Hokage, as long as you let me go, I am willing to give you two billion pairs of hands."

"And promise not to accept bounties on Konoha ninjas anymore!"

Naoki looked at Kakuzu's expression of pain, nodded slightly, and put down his hands.

"Kakuzu-dono is worthy of being a veteran and strong man who has lived from the Warring States Period to the present. He really knows the current affairs!"

"In that case, I will accept the two billion!"

"I hope you can remember today's promise, otherwise..."

Kakuzu gritted his teeth and nodded, controlled the black tentacles in his body, and took out two seal scrolls from his body.

"my money!"

"These two seal scrolls alone are worth tens of thousands of taels!"

"I really shouldn't have done this!"

At this moment, Kakuzu looked at the money he had worked so hard to save, and because the bounty of 800 million taels had evaporated by 2 billion in an instant, he regretted that his intestines were blue.

He stretched out his hand tremblingly and touched the scroll twice, then threw the scroll to the rope tree opposite with his eyes closed.

"There are billions in each scroll. They are yours now!"

Shengshu took the scroll and observed it. It was just an ordinary sealing scroll used for storage. Under his sealing skills, it was no different from being undefended.

The mental power followed the cracks in the seal and reached into the scroll to take stock. The gold tickets with a face value of one million were neatly stacked. It was obvious that Jiao Du really paid attention to these money.

Stuffing the scroll into his arms, Naoshu patted his chest with satisfaction and dispersed the chakra that maintained his water escape.

"Crash!"

The huge lake formed by the out-of-control explosive water collapsed instantly and turned into a raging wave of water flowing in all directions.

"Yeah! Two billion taels is just right."

"Kakuzu, you can go!"

Kakuzu glanced at Nasuki's chest, held back his bleeding heart, and decisively turned around and left.

As for the clone of Yu Yu hidden underground, let’s wait until this greedy demon leaves here before taking it back! Lest the Fourth Hokage regret it and end up ruining his life!

Watching Kakuzu leave, Kyuubi scratched his chin in displeasure.

"Kid, why don't you just kill him?"

"This guy must have more than this amount of money!"

Naoshu smiled and shook his head.

"Nine Lamas, killing sheep to eat meat will not bring long-term benefits to the sheep!"

Kyuubi thought for a while and then made an angry sound.

"Hmph! I think it tastes better if you put the mutton in your mouth!"

Naoki stretched out his hand to rub Kyuubi's back and sighed.

“How could I not know that mutton tastes better than wool?”

"But now..."

"The whole of Konoha is standing behind me!"

"You have to think about it for the future!"

"If one day Konoha runs out of money, you can still go to Kakuto and ask him to support Konoha!"

Kyuubi curled his lips disdainfully and lay down on Noshu's shoulder.

"You little brat, your mind is full of such dark thoughts."

"Nothing like that guy Senju Hashirama!"

Shen Shu laughed and asked:

"Why doesn't it look the same?"

Kyuubi opened his mouth and showed a wicked smile.

"That guy Senju Hashirama, when Konoha had no money, he found an excuse to sell the captured tailed beasts to other villages."

"It's also called to balance the power of the ninja world!"

"Hmph! In my opinion, he came up with this idea simply because he had no money to gamble!"

The rope tree was suddenly struck with thunder. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the Nine-Tails in his hand, shaking it hard twice.

"Hey!"

"Nine Lama, is it not good to arrange my grandpa in front of me?"

Kyuubi howled twice.

"Don't shake! Don't shake!"

"I didn't mean that, just listen to me!"

Naoki stopped moving and looked at Kyuubi with an unkind look.

Kyuubi struggled twice but couldn't break free, so he simply hugged Noshu's arm with his paws and continued:

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. At that time, we were just like goods, taken out by Konoha and sold at a clearly marked price."

"There has never been such a precedent in the ninja world. The only one that can be used as a reference is the Vulpix, which has a bounty of fifty million taels."

"So that guy Tobirama decided to sell the tailed beasts to various ninja villages at reasonable prices based on the strength and bounty of the six-tailed beasts."

Kyuubi said, the corners of his mouth suddenly turned up uncontrollably.

"When it was Shukaku's turn in the end, Tobirama offered Sunagakure Village 80 million ryo."

"In the end, the Kazekage guy cried to Hashirama that he had no money. Hashirama relented and gave Shukaku to Sunagakure Village without even asking for a penny!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"So, that guy Shukaku isn't even worth a tael!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Naturally, Naoki knew this history. Looking at Kyuubi who was patting his arm and laughing crazily, Naoki touched his nose and said hesitantly:

"Nine Lama, have you ever thought about..."

"Anyway, Shukaku's price tag is 80 million taels. Your price..."

"It seems to be zero, right?"

Kyuubi was stunned and his laughter stopped abruptly. Slowly turning his head, seeing Naoki looking at him like a fool, Kyuubi suddenly started struggling crazily.

"asshole!"

"I'm going to kill you!"
