Naruto: Starting from Tsunade-san.

Kakuzu narrowed his eyes in interest. "Interesting..."

Seeing that he showed interest, the middle-aged man with a mustache briefly revealed some information, which could be roughly summarized as two people kidnapping wealthy people in the same country.

The circle of wealthy people in a country is so small. In order to avoid being noticed, these wealthy people united and sent people to secretly find the person in charge of the underground black market and secretly offered a huge reward to the two kidnappers.

These contents are not made public in order to paralyze these two damn kidnappers.

Only powerful bounty hunters like Kakuzu would be informed.

Kakuzu nodded in understanding, a look of great interest in his eyes.

The man with the mustache asked, "What are you going to do, Kakuzu-sama?"

Kakuzu said solemnly, "Let's try our luck. I've been a bounty hunter for so long and haven't come across a target with a bounty of over 100 million. As a bounty hunter like me, a perfect ending is a good choice."

The middle-aged man with a mustache watched Kakuzu leave and said, "Then I wish you good luck, Brother Kakuzu."

After returning, Kakuzu directly told Aokiji about this matter and prepared to take action.

After receiving the message, Aokiji immediately called out the two tools.

When the two servants saw Aokiji calling them out, they happily thought that they could make money again.

While the two were talking, Kakuzu had already walked behind them, which did not make them too alert.

Seeing that Kakuzu had followed the plan, Aokiji said calmly, "Yeah..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kakuzu's hands hardened, and his palms turned into knives and pierced through the hearts of the two men.

The two people whose hearts were ripped out spat out large mouthfuls of blood, their bulging eyes like goldfish eyes: "Why..."

Kakuzu laughed sinisterly: "Sorry, the money we earned this time is the life money of both of you."

After saying that, he crushed the hearts of the two men with one hand, killing them instantly and cleanly.

177. Chapter 177 Aokiji’s Ambition

Chapter 177 Qing Pheasant’s Ambition

Qingzhi shook his head: "You are so ruthless. After all, you are my companion these days."

"Stop pretending, you are much more ruthless than me."

Kakuzu carried the two bodies and prepared to exchange them for money.

"It will be a day or two late to hand over the body to collect the reward. If there are ninjas who can torture the dead man's memory, it will be troublesome."

Aoki thought for a while and said cautiously: "The mountain clan in my village has this kind of ninjutsu. I don't know if other ninjas know it, but it's always right to be cautious."

"You are really cautious."

Kakuzu listened to Aokiji's advice and decided to wait a few days before exchanging corpses for money. He had even heard of this ninjutsu that used the memory of the dead.

However, this jutsu has flaws, depending on the degree of decay of the body, or more specifically the brain.

Under normal circumstances, if you want to obtain the memory of a corpse, you will basically save it with a special charm immediately after death.

If not, over time, the memory that can be obtained from the dead body will depend on luck.

A few days later, Kakuzu came to Aokiji with several large boxes.

Qing Zhi lay on the sofa, with his hands behind his head, and casually asked: "How much."

"Two hundred million." Kakudu made a cheerful voice under his mask.

A price like this was something he wouldn't have dared to think about before. A bounty target of 3000 million taels is basically the limit, and it will be difficult to go higher.

Qingzhi smiled and said: "These rich people are never stingy when it comes to their own safety."

Kakuzu chuckled.

"You seem to be in a good mood?"

Kakuzu shook his head, suddenly feeling a little emotional: "A jonin risks his life to complete an S-rank mission, but most of the time the reward is only a mere one million ryo.

"And look at it, if we kidnap a wealthy person now, the starting price is hundreds of millions of taels. The risks and benefits are really out of proportion."

Aoki smiled: "Well, most ninjas still have a ninja mentality and pay too much attention to reputation. But that's why we make money."

Ninjas are very arrogant. Even if they are down and out, they will not take up other professions. This is equivalent to a shame for them, let alone become kidnappers.

A strong ninja is less likely to fall into despair, and naturally there is no possibility of a strong kidnapper.

Kakuzu is an extreme case.

"Hmph, that's true..."

At this time, as if being reminded by Kakuzu, Aokiji thought of something and fell into thinking for a while.

Kakuzu asked, "What's wrong?"

After thinking about it, Aoki held his chin with one hand and said with a smile: "Brother Kakuzu, do you think this world is strange?"

"strangeness?"

"Is the idea of ​​one country, one village a deformed product?"

"A deformed product, you kid, you really dare to say that. This is the system created by the ninja god to calm down the troubled times. In the past, the average life span of ninjas was only more than 30 years old. It was because of his system that all countries followed suit, and the world finally Ushering in peace. I remember that your ancestor, Uchiha Madara, also made a lot of efforts in this."

Kakuzu are people who have experienced that era and know what that era was like.

Although he couldn't deal with the First Hokage, he had to admire that man's great achievements.

"Are you saying you want to deny these two people?"

"I'm just looking at the problem critically." Aokiji shook his head. "One country, one village system. The village provides military protection, the daimyo provides financial support. Each performs its duties, and everything is peaceful. But is that really the case?" Kakuzu narrowed his eyes slightly. "What do you mean?"

“Don’t you feel deeply about what I have experienced with you these days?

"Compared to ordinary people, we ninjas are too strong, so strong that we can ignore all rules if we want to.

"Just like these rich people, as you can see, although they have a lot of money, so what, they are not being played between the hands of the two of us. All the money they have earned through hard work can be used as long as I want. Take away whatever they have at will.”

"And the daimyo... with all due respect, is actually just an extension of the wealthy businessman. At best, he only has more money. In essence, he is just a weak ordinary person.

"If it were a one-on-one fight, a random graduated genin from our village would be able to deal with the daimyo as easily as he would slaughter a chicken or a dog."

"Do you think the Daimyo can't feel this kind of thing?"

"That's why I said that there is a problem with the one-country-one-village system. In the past, there was only one-country system in the world. When the one-country-one-village system emerged, it was a compromise that the daimyo had to make because they were afraid of us. The power of ninja.”

At this point, Aokiji paused and asked, "What do you think I would do if it were a daimyo?"

Kakuzu was startled: "How to do it?"

"If I were a daimyo, of course I would find a way to kill all ninjas. Ninjas are too powerful and threaten their own dominance."

"Of course, at this time, naive people will say that they have no intention of replacing the Daimyo. But do you think the Daimyo will believe this? In their eyes, it doesn't matter whether you think about it or not, but whether you have it or not. ability."

"Going back to the question just now, if I were the daimyo, I would do everything possible to kill all the ninjas. Of course, with the daimyo's ability, it is almost impossible to kill all the ninjas.

"So we can only use weakening methods, such as cutting military expenditures. Of course, this kind of thing has to be done to a certain extent. If the cuts are too excessive, the ninjas will become their kidnappers if they cannot survive. This is what the daimyo does not want to see, and even more The safer and more effective method is to start a war with other countries in the name of protecting territory. In this case, the ninjas will fall into fighting each other again."

"Oh~ By the way, why do you say again?"

"Haha... I think in the past, the daimyo continued to increase the hatred between ninjas through employment relationships, causing them to kill each other, so that the number of ninjas dropped sharply. It was not until the emergence of the first generation of Hokage that this changed In the current situation, the daimyo was forced to recognize the one-country-one-village system due to the powerful power of the First Hokage.

Kakuzu stared at Aokiji. To be honest, these words of the other party gave him a huge impact on his outlook on life. It was hard to believe that it was coming from a brat.

In the past, after the assassination failed, he had discussed the one-country-one-village system with the First Hokage. At that time, the other party did not give him a satisfactory answer. He did not expect to see it in a kid today. It was really incredible.

Kakuzu asked: "So, you have said so much, what do you want to do?"

Qing Pheasant said solemnly: "I want to restore the one-country system."

Kakuzu was startled, not quite understanding what Aokiji meant.

Judging from the conversation just now, the kid in front of him should be the type who has great disdain for the daimyo. How could he be willing to sit behind the daimyo and follow his lead?

However, Qing Pheasant's next topic surprised him.

"In this world, things like daimyo simply need to exist."

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this in the past, but at least as far as he knows, Aokiji is the first person to put forward this point of view. Kakuzu is very surprised when he hears this.

"After all, what is power? It's nothing more than coercion and inducement. Wei represents force, and profit represents money. In reality, the village represents force, and the daimyo represents money. If the daimyo who represents the power of money wants to regain force, he must eliminate ninjas. This obstacle.”

"As a ninja, I naturally don't want to be used by them to fight such a meaningless war, so I want to eliminate the daimyo in turn.

Kakuzu understood what Aokiji meant. If the ninja war was deliberately instigated by the daimyo behind his back, then eliminating the daimyo would be cutting off the source of the trouble. But in this way, new problems would arise.

He thought for a moment and gave this reply: "You are just jumping from one extreme to another. In the past, the village was restricted by money, but once the daimyo is eliminated, the village will not be restricted by money. It will be like a wild beast that is uncontrollably developing. At that time, in order to obtain resources, war will definitely break out between countries, and this war will be more tragic than before."

Aoki was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Kakuzu to think of such a step. He smiled and continued: "Have you ever thought about unifying the world?"

Kakuzu looked at Aokiji like a madman.

ps: I don’t have enough time to write. I will advance the progress in the next few chapters so that Itachi can receive the lunch box.

178. Chapter 178 Return to the Village

Chapter 178 Return to the Village

"What's wrong? Are you looking at me like a psycho?"

Aoji's lack of self-awareness made Kakuzu sneer mercilessly: "To unify the world, there are many ambitious people like this in any era. But they all failed without exception. I thought you were a smart person, but actually He also has such big dreams. After all, he is a kid and likes to have wild dreams."

Faced with Kakuzu's cold-eyed taunt, Aokihiko laughed it off and didn't take it seriously: "If a kid doesn't like whimsical things, why should he still be called a kid?"

"When I first met you, you dared to kill the lord of the Fire Nation. When we met for the second time, you dared to kidnap the son of the Fire Nation's daimyo for ransom. At that time, I was imagining someone like you. What kind of things will a kid with dangerous thoughts do in the future? I can’t believe how long it’s been before you have refreshed my knowledge again. It seems I still underestimated you too much.”

Qingzhi chuckled twice: "When you say that, I just think you are complimenting me."

"I don't want to praise you anymore."

Qingzhi's tone became slightly more serious: "People have to pursue something, right?"

Kakuzu said with sarcasm: "When strength does not match ambition, it is destined to be a disaster."

Qing Pheasant corrected: "It's not conquest, it's reform."

Kakuzu stared at Aokiji and made a sharp comment: "Is there any difference? The prerequisite for either conquest or reform is to defeat all those who are dissatisfied."

Qing Pheasant didn't refute: "That's true."

"Why are you interested in this kind of thing? When I met you, weren't you only interested in money?"

Kakuzu narrowed half of his red and green eyes, quietly waiting for Aokiji's reply.

"To sum it up briefly, maybe it's because the money has come too fast recently, and Brother Kakuto's sigh just now reminded me that my desire for money can no longer satisfy me."

"You are too ambitious, so don't blame me." Kakuzu said that he would not bear the blame. Even if he doesn't remind him, this kid might still have his thoughts later.

Qing Zhi paused and organized his words: "A person who doesn't have enough to eat and doesn't have enough clothes to wear warmly wants first and foremost to be fed and clothed, while a person who has enough to eat and clothed wants to have a warm home." , and with a warm home, people will have new desires, and this desire will continue to increase layer by layer."

"Stay full and hold on, that's a very appropriate way to describe you." Kakuzu responded with disdain.

Aoki shrugged his shoulders and formally issued an invitation: "Brother Kakuto, are you interested in creating a new world with me one day in the future?"

Kakuzu didn't even think about it and immediately responded: "Except for money, I'm not interested in anything."

It was something that was expected, and Qingzhi showed full understanding, and both Huyoujiao had to take his time.

In the Akatsuki organization, Kakuzu is probably the most "honest" person besides Kisame.

Qingzhi thought the conversation would end here, but unexpectedly there was a twist later.

"but……"

Hearing "but" often means a turning point, Aokiji looked at Kakuzu, and then the other party gave this answer:

"If you can open the Mangekyo Sharingan in the future, perhaps I would be interested."

"Mangjiao Sharingan?"

A trace of surprise flashed across Qing Pheasant's eyes.

"That is the highest eye technique of your clan. It was with this power that Uchiha Madara joined forces with Senju Hashirama to end the war era."

Kakuzu has not fought against Uchiha Madara, but based on Senju Hashirama, his strength must not be much inferior, and the power of those eyes will naturally interest Kakuzu.
