However, before he could open his mouth to speak, the detonating tag hanging behind the kunai exploded.

Kakuzu took a look at the smoke, then said nothing and continued to collect the bodies silently.

At the same time, a very strange-looking figure moved in from a deserted village not far away.

Yes, it was moved in.

The guy looked like he was lying on the ground, and he seemed to be crawling forward. He was wearing a black windbreaker that covered most of his body, leaving only his head exposed. Even his hands and feet could not be seen.

His expression was very stiff, and he had a half-turban covering his face.

He doesn't look like a living person.

In fact, he is not a living person.

It was a human puppet, and the visitor was none other than Scorpion of the Red Sand. He himself was hiding inside this human puppet, and this human puppet was also his favorite masterpiece, named Fei Liuhu.

"I hate people saying bad things about me behind my back, especially little-known people." Scorpion's voice came from Feiliuhu, and it sounded very old.

"I think you'd better apologize first, otherwise you will be in trouble." Kakuzu said without raising his head, and at the same time sealed a corpse into the scroll again.

"Me?" Scorpion looked at Kakuzu strangely.

But before Kakuzu could say anything else, a figure emerged from the smoke of the detonating talisman. It was Diarmait, seemingly unharmed, not even a trace of smoke. Diarmait emerged from the smoke with a smile on his face. "Yes, of course it's you. I also think you should listen to Kakuzu's advice..."

"Are all young people nowadays so arrogant?" Scorpion said with a slightly disdainful tone.

In fact, Scorpio is not very old now, but he likes to pretend to be mature and steady.

On the other hand, Diarmait was already approaching 45 years old, but he looked very young, so Scorpion pretended to be him.

Diarmuid was not surprised by this phenomenon. It was normal for capable people to have their own personalities.

However, this nature has played tricks on him, and Diarmait will not tolerate him.

"Can I kill him?" Diarmait turned and looked at Kakuzu.

Kakuzu looked up, hesitated for a moment and said, "No, give me some face, otherwise if you kill him, my work on his corpse will be in vain." Diarmait and Kakuzu echoed each other, which made Scorpion even more annoyed.

Without saying a word, a tail suddenly emerged from behind Fei Liuhu, like a scorpion, and stung Diarmuid directly.

It is very clear to the naked eye that there is purple venom on the scorpion's tail. Once it touches you, even if it only breaks your skin, it will be a fatal injury.

However, the scorpion's tail stopped just before it stung Diarmait.

In the red flow of amber, Scorpion's eyes were also a little surprised.

It wasn't that he wanted to stop, but he was blocked by an invisible force and couldn't penetrate!

It was the second stage of Armament Haki, and he didn't waste any words with Scorpion. If he didn't beat him up, he would think that the sky was the boss, the earth was second, and he was the third. Raising his arm and pointing it at the Scarlet Flowing Amber, Diarmuid whispered, "Chibaku Tensei..."

To be honest, Diarmait felt a little guilty about using this kind of move in this world. Who knows where White Zetsu and Black Zetsu are hiding? It would be bad if there was any misunderstanding.

Scorpion had rich combat experience. As soon as Diarmait raised his hand, he wanted to avoid the feeling of being pointed at.

However, before he could move, a powerful gravity pressed directly on Fei Liuhu, crushing the puppet to the point of breaking it apart.

The next moment, a thick dark aura burst out, emerging from Diarmait and spreading in all directions. In a moment, it surrounded Fei Liuhu.

"What kind of magic is this?" Scorpion asked in some confusion.

It feels like earth escape, but this dark aura is incompatible with earth escape.

It sounded like he was not too panicked. Just when the dark aura entangled Fei Liuhu, the puppet suddenly exploded, and a young man with short red hair and a very handsome face jumped out from Fei Liuhu.

Before his figure even touched the ground, countless needles soaked in venom covered Diarmait.

At the same time, while moving the puppet, Scorpion pulled the chakra string in his hand, as if he wanted to control some new puppet to come out.

However, before he could complete the action, he was pressed down by a powerful and unreasonable weight. He was pulled directly from the air to the ground and pressed firmly to the ground, unable to move.

"This..." Scorpion seemed to want to say something.

However, before he could finish his words, the earth and rocks on the ground surged, and in the blink of an eye, they wrapped him into a ball of earth and rocks, with dark power emanating from the outside.

Kakuzu in the distance was watching this scene with a complicated look.

Jiao Du has fought with Scorpion before, so he is quite impressed by his strength.

Perhaps Diarmait had caught him off guard, and before Scorpion could react, he was suppressed by the backhand (bccj).

But the fact that Diarmait was able to do this proved that he was really strong.

Anyway, Kakuzu knew he couldn't do it, so he also judged that Diarmait's strength was far beyond his.

Clearly, more than half a year ago, it wasn't like this. …

"Don't kill him! I've already arrived at the Land of Rice and haven't received my commission yet. I can't let this trip go in vain!" Kakuzu said quickly. Diarmait turned and glanced at Kakuzu, a smile playing on his lips. He said, "Okay, I'll give you a favor and give him a chance." As soon as he finished speaking, Diarmait's aura loosened, and the Chibaku Tensei disintegrated, and Scorpion's disheveled figure fell from it.

"Bastard..." Scorpion looked at Diarmait angrily.

As soon as he started fighting, he felt a strong oppressive force. Although he was tossed around for a while, Scorpion had to admit that this guy must be really strong.

But he still refused to accept it. I didn't react at all just now. If I had made some preparations, Scorpion felt that he would not have been able to lose!

"If you say anything that makes me angry again, I will send you to reunite with your parents." Diarmait's eyes turned cold and his tone was cruel.

Scorpion was stunned for a moment, and the anger in his eyes grew stronger, but he was not a fool. He knew that at this distance, he would be firmly held down by the man in front of him.

This is not the time to take action!

"Hmph!" Scorpion snorted coldly.

Although he seemed a little arrogant, he was tactful enough not to speak.

"These twelve corpses are all outstanding talents from the Iwagakure Village and Konoha. Just name a price." Kakuzu also walked up to Scorpion and said.

Scorpion felt like his face had turned into a puppet and couldn't help but twitch.

You two, one hit me, and the other came up to ask for money, you really are worthy of being teammates!

Under the pressure of Kakuzu's greedy gaze, Scorpion finally paid the money, which made Kakuzu very happy. After all, his work was not in vain!

"How is it? My teammates." Kakuzu asked happily after receiving the money.

Although Scorpion didn't want to answer, he didn't want to lose heart at this time, so he still said with a little arrogance: "Tigers and leopards always walk alone, while cattle and horses travel in herds." Seeing that Diarmuid and Kakuzu didn't speak, he said a little depressed: "I invited you two here today because I plan to kill the masters of the Uchiha clan of Konoha." "Who?" Kakuzu was obviously discouraged after hearing the name of Uchiha.

As a veteran of the ninja world, he knew how powerful the Uchiha clan was. Diarmuid looked at Scorpion curiously and asked, "Who is it?"

"Uchiha Kagami." Scorpion was silent for a moment, and finally spoke.

"Uchiha Kagami?" Diarmuid was a little surprised.

Because this guy is the kind of person who doesn't show off and doesn't reveal anything.

But in fact, he is a hidden boss in Konoha.

He, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Shimura Danzo were all from the same period, and all three were disciples of the Second Hokage.

It’s just that the second generation finally chose Sarutobi Hiruzen.

At the same time, Senju Tobirama often said that Uchiha Kagami was the only member of the Uchiha clan he trusted.

The Second Hokage has been discriminatory towards the Uchiha clan from the very beginning.

Only Uchiha Kagami is different, the Second Hokage trusts him very much.

The reason why Sasori wants to target the Uchiha clan is very simple, it's because of the bloodline limit, the Sharingan.

He has now taken the technology of human puppets to an even more powerful level by creating the Third Kazekage.

That is the ability to use the power of bloodline limit.

The Third Kazekage's bloodline limit is magnetic escape, and at this time Scorpion can use the Third Kazekage's human puppet to perform magnetic escape.

If he could deal with Uchiha Kagami, get his corpse, and make a human puppet, maybe it could become his new trump card?

After all, the power of the Sharingan is obvious to all, putting aside the cheating guy Uchiha Madara.

Even with the ordinary Sharingan, without the Mangekyō, the ninja world was very wary. When fighting against the Uchiha clan, they all fought with their heads down, otherwise if they looked at it for too long, it might be a matter of life and death.

"No!" Kakuzu suddenly shook his head and stopped him in a very serious tone.

Scorpion looked at Kakuzu in surprise, then asked, "Are you friends?"

"No, what I mean is that Uchiha Kagami is a master of the Uchiha clan, a disciple of the Second Hokage, and a good friend of the current Third Hokage. The 50,000 taels you gave is totally unworthy of his status, so we won't take action unless..." Kakuzu said seriously.

"Unless what?" Scorpion asked somewhat unhappily.

"Unless you pay more!" Kakuzu said without hesitation.

scorpion???

Can you be a human being?

(I wish everyone a happy Chinese Valentine's Day.).

Chapter 474 Very good, you have successfully caught my attention.

Fifty thousand taels, to be honest, is not a low price to buy a life.

After all, Diarmait had asked Kakudu to be his teacher for more than half a year, and according to the contract, it was only 20,000 taels. Of course, in addition to that, Diarmait gave him more.

It is worth noting that both Jupiter and Diarmait used gold to weigh the two.

We are currently in a war period, and most of the banknotes have begun to depreciate wildly. If exchanged at the rate of 1 tael per ounce, 50,000 taels of gold can be exchanged for about 70 to 10 million taels of yen.

The fluctuation varies from place to place. I heard that in the Rain Country, it can be exchanged for about 100 million ryo.

(I did overlook a bit and forgot that Asuma has a 35 million yen bounty on him. I'll just make it clear here, don't worry about it, hahaha. As for the power system, illusion resistance, and strength assessment, these are just some of Diarmait's current judgments based on the situation. They are his conjectures and he hasn't actually measured or fought against them. However, I think illusion resistance has nothing to do with Conqueror's Haki, and the two cannot be lumped together. But did you forget that the protagonist has a cheat called "Iron Will"? I haven't even mentioned it yet, okay? I wanted to lay a trap, but ended up getting criticized. It's uncomfortable.)

"Kakuzu, that's 50,000 taels of gold, not a low amount." Scorpion frowned slightly.

"The risks are different. That's Uchiha. Haven't you fought with Uchiha people before?" Kakuzu frowned and said a little unhappily.

Just add money if I ask you to, why all the nonsense?

Actually, Kakuzu was not like this before, but he has been hanging out with generous people like Diarmait for too long recently, so he has been led astray. He always feels a little annoyed with stingy guys like Scorpion.

It's not grand at all and the pattern is not big enough.

"I've killed two." Scorpion said calmly, with a hint of pride in his tone. Before Kakuzu could speak, he continued, "It's not as difficult as the rumors say... If it weren't for the need to be more cautious this time, I would have gone alone. Yes, Scorpion has also killed people from the Uchiha clan.

He has transformed himself into a human puppet. In fact, his main body is the "regeneration core" in his heart, which is no longer a human structure.

So the Sharingan illusion has basically no damage to him. My eyes are just for decoration. My perception depends entirely on the regeneration core and chakra. I can't be harmed by being glared at by your red eyes?

impossible!
