Civilian Naruto: Becoming invincible from the Eight Gates

Nagato raised his head slowly: "Logically, with their abilities, even if they couldn't complete the mission, it wouldn't be the case that none of them came back."

"Is there something delaying you?"

Xiaonan shook his head: "Not like that."

"Hidan might be possible, but Kakuzu always replies to messages in a timely manner." This is one of the reasons why she admires Kakuzu the most in the organization.

Strong but not ostentatious; experienced but not overbearing. Efficient in completing tasks and willing to take responsibility.

Which leader wouldn’t like such an employee?

But now, the excellent employee whom she had high hopes for could not be contacted.

This made her more nervous than Deidara's loss of contact.

Seeing that Konan was in poor condition, Nagato began to rack his brains to find a way to comfort her.

He organized his words and spoke after a few minutes.

"Relax."

Xiao Nan: "..."

Just when she was speechless, the sound of empty footsteps suddenly came from outside the base.

However, this is the secret base of the Akatsuki organization. Except for a few high-ranking officials who have the ring, no one else can enter without permission! The only people who can come here, besides the enemy, are...

Xiaonan turned around suddenly.

The next second, her face was filled with joy!

It's Kakuzu!

Her excellent employee, Mr. Kakuzu, is back!

In an instant, Xiaonan's heart was filled with joy of recovering what he had lost.

However, this joy only lasted for a short moment, and then Xiaonan discovered something wrong.

Jiaodu came back alone.

Not only that, the other party's condition was also a little wrong.

His whole demeanor was low, and his green eyes seemed to contain deep fatigue and sadness.

Xiaonan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

The fact was just as she thought.

Kakuzu walked closer step by step, came in front of her, and stretched out his hand forward.

There are two rings on it, one for 'Three' and one for 'North'.

Konan frowned, "Mr. Kakuzu, what do you mean?"

Kakuzu said weakly, "I'm here to resign."

Xiaonan: “”…

"These are Hidan and my rings, keep them."

Xiaonan said anxiously: "Wait!"

"This is... why... what exactly happened?"

Kakuzu narrowed his eyes slightly, hiding the complicated expression in them.

"It's nothing, I'm just tired."

What mission, what reward, what organization’s cause.

He doesn't want to think about anything now.

He just wanted to quickly replenish his five hearts, and then find a place to lie down and retire comfortably. Even if he accepted a mission, he would not accept a mission that exceeded the level of a Chunin, just enough to spend.

Thinking of this, a trace of vicissitudes appeared in Kakuzu's eyes, and a decadent temperament of "the plain and simple is the real" emanated from him.

Konan was in a state of confusion. On the one hand, she was shocked by the sudden attack from Kakuzu, and on the other hand, she was thinking rapidly.

What should I do if an excellent employee wants to resign?

Of course you can’t reject it! But you can’t get angry or express dissatisfaction, you must keep the other person!

After a moment of silence, Konan did not take the ring from Kakuzu's hand. She said softly, "Mr. Kakuzu, there was an accident during the mission, right?"

"It's ok."

"It doesn't matter whether the mission is completed or not, as long as people come back."

"I know you are very tired now, why don't you go back and have a good rest?"

She sensed Kakuzu's declining momentum and went a step further, "Nagato and I can also help with the healing."

"Akatsuki will never forget your hard work."

Kakuzu hesitated for a moment.

He was very pleased with Xiaonan's attitude, but a person's face flashed through his mind, and he shook his head.

"No need."

Kakuzu knew it very well.

The reason why Akatsuki organization values ​​him, besides his extremely high mission completion rate, the most important thing is that they value his combat power and his ability to contribute to big plans like capturing the tailed beasts.

Other general tasks besides these will be completed by other members of the Akatsuki organization. You should know that in addition to these people, there are many ordinary members in the Akatsuki organization.

As for the tailed beasts, he had made up his mind not to get involved anymore no matter what.

Too dangerous!

From Hashirama Senju distributing the tailed beasts to the Akatsuki organization collecting the tailed beasts, he later met the man named Suzumiya Musashi in Konoha.

At this moment, he understood clearly.

The Tailed Beasts, as one of the ultimate powers in the Ninja World, the struggles related to them were not something he could participate in. The Two-Tails, Matatabi, the Seven-Tails, Shigeaki, and the most powerful Nine-Tails were also in Konoha.

It’s obvious that if Akatsuki continues to capture the tailed beasts, they will sooner or later come into conflict with that man.

If I don't resign now, when will I? Since I can't help capture the tailed beast, there is no point in staying here.

"Mr. Kakuzu..."

"I've made up my mind!" Kakuzu interrupted Xiaonan's persuasion in a deep voice. The ring that had not been accepted for a long time was gently thrown away by him. Xiaonan had no choice but to reach out and catch it.

Kakuzu said, "During this period of time, I need to heal my wounds and repair my heart. If I want to recover to my previous strength, it will take at least half a year or at most several years."

The heart needed by the Earthly Wrath Yu was not just any heart. At least it had to be a jonin.

In the battle with the Land of Lightning, his three hearts of wind, fire and thunder were shattered in the battle with Yukito. Afterwards, the water-attributed heart that fled to the sea was also blown up by Suzumiya Musashi. Only one earth-attributed heart, whose chakra was almost exhausted and hidden in the ruins, escaped.

Now, in addition to a jonin-level earth attribute heart, he only has a fire attribute chunin heart that he got on the road with great difficulty. His strength has greatly decreased. It is not easy to continue to get a suitable heart.

"You can rest assured that I will not talk nonsense about Akatsuki's information."

Konan did not try to persuade him to stay this time. She could see that Kakuzu, whose strength had been greatly weakened, was already afraid of catching the tailed beast.

She asked, "Mr. Kakuzu, tell me about the mission."

Kakuzu thought about it and didn't refuse Konan's question.

He looked into the void with a sighing tone.

"That is a terrifyingly powerful ninja..."

With Kakuzu's slightly embellished description, Kakuzu basically depicted the course of the battle that day.

"Many days later, I dared to use my clone to check, but... apart from the ring and a few broken blades, I didn't sense Hidan's presence."

After listening to Kakuzu's description, Konan understood what had happened.

"Suzumiya Musashi." Konan said the name. "It's him again!"

When they first captured Nanao, it was because of him that Kakuzu and Hidan failed in their mission. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen again not long after.

She couldn't help but get angry.

"This Suzumiya Musashi must be eliminated!"

Upon hearing this, Kakuzu said calmly, "That's your business."

Anyway, he didn't want to meet Suzumiya Musashi again. No matter how much money he was offered, it wouldn't work!
