Mixed in the Hokage cultivation road

Chapter 11 The strongest worker, Kakuzu!
With Hinata Shin's speed, it would take less than half a day to reach the Tsuchigakure battlefield.

However, halfway through the journey, someone suddenly appeared in his perception, causing him to change his mind temporarily.

It was none other than Kakuzu, one of the seed candidates he had previously selected.

Hinata sincerely thought: It is better to meet by chance than to meet by chance. Since it happens to be the right time, it is better to take precautions in advance and lay the foundation for the subsequent sowing.

It immediately floated down from the sky and landed about one kilometer in front of the direction where Kakuzu was heading.

Walking slowly towards Kakuzu.

Kakuzu could almost be said to have been born near the end of the Warring States Period, and should be about ten years younger than him and Hashirama.

He had also fought with Hashirama before, and although he was defeated in just a few simple moves, it was always something he was proud of.

After all, fighting the God of Ninja and surviving is something to be proud of!

Of course, the main reason was that Hashirama had no intention of killing him, so he let this young man who dared to challenge him go.

It's the same reason why Hanzo admires the Sannin.

This is a habit unique to the strong in the ninja world!
As a bounty hunter and a slave to money, Kakuzu actually welcomes war.

After all, he needed a fresh heart after being transformed by Di Yuanyu, and war money was easier to make!

Once the war begins, there will be many high-commission tasks in the underground black market!
Every village has some things that are difficult to do but people want to do that need these bounty hunters to do.

This time he accepted the mission issued by Iwagakure in the black market.

That was also the reason why he rushed to the Iwagakure front.

Kakuzu has always been a friendless person because of his experience. People who have been betrayed find it more difficult to trust others!
Even when doing dangerous missions, he never teamed up with others. In fact, he once had the heart of a strong man.

There were not many people in the Warring States Period who dared to fight against Hashirama Senju for the sake of their village.

Not to mention the era of one village, one country.

As for why people become slaves to money, it may be because they see no hope of becoming stronger.

Like a bird in a cage, Di Yuanyu made Jiaodu successful, but also restricted him!
The Earth's Resentment gave Kakuzu the possibility to stay alive for an extended period of time, but it also killed his chance to continue to grow stronger!
In order to prevent himself from going crazy in the long period of loneliness, Kakuzu, who had lost his goal and motivation, found something to do: becoming a bounty hunter!
In his opinion, money will not deceive people and is much more reliable than so-called friendship and bonds.

It allows him to eat what he wants, buy what he wants, and spending money can please himself so that the rest of his life won’t be boring!

For a person like him, as long as there is a lofty ideal that can move him and give him a goal to strive for, he can still become a very reliable companion.

Haven’t you seen that after joining Akatsuki, Kakuzu is the most dedicated one and can be called the strongest worker!

He can make money, fight, and never argue with the boss! The most important thing is that he is in good health! He has a long life! He is not afraid of working 996 or 007! In the past life, such a good employee was what all bosses dreamed of.

Hinata really wants an employee like this!
But the prerequisite is that you have to defeat him!

Otherwise, you don’t even have the qualifications to tell him about your ideals!

After all, the ninja world still relies on strength.

Especially for an old antique like Kakuzu who has killed people like crazy.

Unfortunately, Hinata has both of these!

Therefore, Kakuzu will definitely be arranged clearly and become the strongest worker under him!

I will fight for the peace and struggle of all the people in the ninja world all my life!
In just a few minutes, the two people walking towards each other were getting closer and closer.

Kakuzu had already spotted Hinata Shin walking not far away, but he thought he was just an ordinary old man. It was not until he got closer that he realized he was actually a lone member of the Hyuga clan!

Moreover, he is very old and is about to die!

There was no trace of chakra on his body, just like an ordinary person.

This is simply money falling from the sky and hitting him in the face!
After all, the value of the Byakugan is still very high, especially after Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha forcibly took back the leaked Byakugan during the village founding era.

Coupled with the existence of the bird in the cage, the outside world has basically never heard of the existence of the white eye!
If we can get it and sell it to the major ninja villages, we will definitely get a sum of money far exceeding the amount of S-level tasks!

Looking at Hinata Shin getting closer and closer, Kakuzu couldn't help but wonder in his heart, "How could the Hyuga clan be left unprotected? Is there a trap?!"

But as the two were about to pass each other, Kakuzu did not detect any ambush around.

In the end, it was his greed for the Byakugan that made Kakuzu decide to take the risk. He was confident in his perception ability, and even more confident in his own strength!

If there is really an ambush, he has legs. If he can't fight, he can run away.

He felt he would not be able to sleep well at night if he didn't make the money that came to his door.

The moment the two passed each other, Kakuzu took action!

Kakuzu, who was well versed in physical skills, punched Hinata Shin's back of the head!
He wanted to knock Hinata Shin out instantly and take away his Byakugan.

But he didn't realize that high-end hunters often appear in the form of prey.

What Kakuzu imagined did not happen, and his fist was blocked by an old hand.

"Young man! Don't you feel ashamed to attack an old man who is about to die?"

"I was wondering why you, as the head of the Hyuga clan, had no one to protect you. It turns out that you are brave and skilled!" Although the Hyuga's reaction was beyond Kakuzu's expectations, it also solved Kakuzu's doubts. "You actually mistook me for one of those rotten bugs of the head of the clan, Kakuzu, your vision needs to be improved."

"You know me? Although I'm a little curious about your identity, I accept your glare." Kakuzu said this and attacked again.

But after a brief battle, things developed in a direction that Kakuzu could not have imagined.

This old man from the Hyuga clan is ridiculously strong!

He doesn't look like an old man at all, his movements are swift and his strength is powerful! His reaction is fast and his combat awareness is stronger than his!

Kakuzu has a skin-hardening ninjutsu, and as a strong taijutsu master, he asks himself if even in the Hyuga clan there are few who can compete with him in taijutsu.

But this extremely old man in front of him was actually able to defeat him in physical skills!

Just outrageous!
Kakuzu tried several times to create distance and take the opportunity to release his masked clone to perform ninjutsu, but each time failed.

Faced with the violent attack, Jiao Du was completely powerless to fight back!

Being pressed to the ground and rubbed!
Kakuzu knew that he had hit a wall, but there was nothing he could do. He had to finish the fight even if it meant crying because it was his own fault.

"Who are you? Why are you looking for trouble with me?" Kakuzu finally found an opportunity to escape from Hinata Makoto's hands. He took a breath and expressed his doubts.

He also realized that he had been tricked. After all, he had not lived in vain over the years.

An old man who was about to die appeared right before his eyes, with a look of contempt that looked like a bird without a cage.

And this person knows him, how can there be so many coincidences!
"Aren't you the one causing trouble for me again?" Hinata Shin asked back.

"Hmph! Do you really think I'm stupid? How can there be so many coincidences! Tell me your purpose!" In fact, Kakuzu wanted to just run away, but he was locked by Hinata Makoto's momentum.

Besides, he didn't sense any murderous intent from Hinata Makoto.

"I'm here to test your tolerance and also to give you a new life!" Hinata Shinya spoke frankly.

"Test my tolerance and give me a new life! Who do you think you are? Hashirama Senju?" Although Kakuzu was a little afraid of this old man, with his experience, he would not be easily fooled by a few words.

"My name is Hinata Shin!" Hinata Shin immediately confessed his identity.

"Hinata Shin, it's you! You're not dead yet!" Kakuzu was a little bit unbelievable.

After all, he was a person from the Warring States Period, so he must know something about Hinata Shin.

After all, there are very few people who can fight against Hashirama and Madara.

In that era, Hinata was still quite famous.

But according to the information Kakuzu knew, if Hinata Shin was still alive, he would have to be at least eighty years old!

However, due to the training system in the ninja world, those who can live to over eighty years old are extremely rare!
What is even more unimaginable is that Hinata Shin is still so powerful at this age!

Even he could only maintain his peak strength because of the existence of Di Yuanyu, otherwise his strength would have declined long ago.

"What do you mean?" Kakuzu's attitude became much calmer after knowing Hinata's true identity.

Hinata's identity and strength are really worthy of Kakuzu sitting down and listening to him.

"You probably haven't gained any strength improvement in a long time."

"The Earth's Resentment made you what you are, but also bound you." Hinata Zhen's opening words revealed a powerful blow!
"How did you know that?" Kakuzu was shocked! This was his secret, and those who knew it were basically dead!
"I know you much more than you can imagine. You need a fresh start!"

"You lose motivation and purpose in life, and it's really a waste to just be around money."

"In this case, why not set a new goal in life and start working towards it!"

"What I want to do is to lead you to create a perfect world! To embark on a path that is truly ideal!"

"Although this road may be full of thorns, at least you have tried your best! It is more meaningful than living like a zombie."

"Just as Hashirama and Madara ended the chaotic Warring States period, you can also work hard to change this ugly, twisted, and conflict-ridden ninja world."

"It really needs someone with ideals to spread love to this world! Why can't that person be you!"

"Only when the ninja world becomes a whole can there be no disputes. Hashirama and Madara did not do this, but it does not mean that this path is wrong!"

"Kakuzu, what choice will you make? Let me see how magnanimous you are!" Hinata Shin continued to seduce Kakuzu with words.

Listening to Hinata Makoto's analysis and the big picture he painted for him, Kakuzu remained silent!
He was indeed as Hinata Makoto said, he had lost his goals and motivation, and his ideals, and could only deal with money.

But does he really want this?
Hinata really knew him too well!

At this stage, Jiaodu is like being stuck in a swamp. If no one helps him, he will probably never get out.

This was originally done by Nagato, but now Hinata has taken it away.

"Think about it carefully, I believe you will make the right decision!" Hinata Makoto encouraged Kakuzu sincerely.

It seems that I can’t sign it, I’m disappointed.
