Be neighbors with Mizukage

My name is Kakuzu.

I once fought against the First Hokage, but the outcome was inconclusive. Later, a lot of things happened, and I became a rebel ninja. Now I can only survive on the bounties in the black market. However, I heard that the wages paid by Konoha's Dark Earth Real Estate Company are very high.

Gao, so I went to work there. Then I was transferred by Manager Yamato to Kiri Ninja Village to repair the subway. After the repair was completed, I was given a lot of travel allowance. Just when I was about to return to the company, Master Qixiu asked me to be a ninja sword again.

Seven people, I have made great achievements and become the hero of Mist Ninja Village...

As for why you can live so long?

It all depends on Taki Ninja Village’s [Earthly Resentment Yu]!

The package was tightly wrapped, with only the corners of a pair of green bean eyes exposed. He lowered his head and looked at the reward order in his hand, and said flatly, "...has the price gone up again?"

Ten million.

How long has it been?

It has almost doubled in less than a year.

He had also heard of Orochimaru's name.

A powerful ninja in Konoha, he was very active during the Second World War and the Third War, and was given the title of Konoha Sannin. Later... his reputation seemed to slowly fade away, and it was rumored that this person was a fan of the Second Hokage.

...a student of the Third Hokage.

Orochimaru's scientific level is very high. The fourth generation Mizukage Gouji lost his position and wanted to bring him to the Mist Ninja Village, so he united with the major gangs and the Ninja Village to place a reward on Orochimaru.

Of course he doesn't care about any of this.

Compared to those messy things, what Mr. Kakuzu cares more about is... the dazzling bounty on it. Every time he looks at it, he can feel that his eyes seem to be emitting a golden light.

What kind of outrageous thing did this guy do?

Many countries have launched bounties on him many times, and the bounties have been rising.

None of the gods of the ninja world back then were so exaggerated!

At this time...

"This guest, what would you like to order?"

Hearing the friendly voice of the waiter in front of him, Jiaodu raised his head and looked at him with flat eyes. He didn't care about the uneasy and scared look in the waiter's eyes.

got used to.

"Cappuccino, light sugar and less ice, the second cup is half price! Two cups!"

"???" The waiter was stunned, but when he heard the customer ordering food, he was still relieved. It hadn't been long since the war ended. Although no enemies had rushed in in the Kingdom of Water, the tense atmosphere still frightened him.

of.

If it weren't for the store manager's guarantee, plus the high salary and good treatment here, and the possibility of being promoted to store manager if he worked for a long time, he would have wanted to resign and go back to the countryside to hide.

only.

The waiter looked at the mysterious guy alone in confusion.

"Do you need...two drinks?"

"Can't one person order two drinks?" Jiao Du frowned, looked at him, and said flatly, "It's not written on it!"

"It's true that it's not written down." The waiter hurriedly bent down to apologize. Cappuccino with light sugar and less ice, two cups! Now prepare it for you."

"Um."

Kakuzu nodded and said nothing more.

Buy a cup for ten bucks!

Buy two cups for fifteen bucks!

Today I made another five dollars easily.

I took a look at the simple but comfortable decoration inside...

【Cappuccino】.

In just a few months, it has spread throughout the wealthy villages, towns, and cities in the Land of Water.

And I don’t know why, every time I pass by here, I have the urge to come in and buy a drink.

Itchy.

Very strange!

Obviously he never likes to drink such messy things. Compared to coffee, for him... free spring water is the best.

Just after Kakuzu waited boredly for five minutes.

"Hello, your cappuccino is ready."

"Yes." Kakuzu took it expressionlessly, paid the money, and then found a quiet place to sit down.

Looking at the two cold cups of cappuccino in my hands, the summer irritability in my heart seemed to be reduced a lot.

He took out the special straw, poked it in, and took a sip.

Suddenly my whole body felt much cooler.

Really worthy of a cappuccino!

At first, he also doubted whether he was under an illusion. After all, there were rumors... The shareholder behind this store seemed to be Antu Real Estate Company. The owner's surname was Uchiha. The Uchiha family was good at using illusions. Perhaps in order to attract customers, they used "

Some magic or something.

But later he found out that it wasn't.

possible.

It's really just that he just wants to drink. Besides, Boss Shisui is not a profiteer either.

While drinking cappuccino, Kakuzu looked at the reward order in his hand.

Ten million!

He admitted.

My heart moved.

but.

"Konoha..." He murmured flatly to himself.

I originally thought about finishing this job and then giving myself some comfort. When the time comes... I will definitely fill up my stomach with all the taro balls, pudding, and pearls I have never eaten before.

pity.

Konoha is not that easy to sneak into, but there is a barrier specially made by the First Hokage.

And to be able to obtain such a high bounty... higher than the first Hokage back then, this guy named Orochimaru should not be simple in strength!

When the reward order was first issued, he went to the forest at the entrance of Konoha Village to squat for a while. If that guy could come out, he could give this deal a try!

Especially now...ten million!

He even wanted to sneak into Konoha secretly to carry out an assassination.

I heard that many ninjas and rebel ninjas are already eyeing the ten million, so time is quite tight!

If someone else gets it, he can only... kill that person and snatch it away!

Thinking of this, Kakuto's face became serious after drinking the first cup and then another cup, "Orochimaru... Konoha..."

There seems to be some confusion in his eyes!

And this time.

"It's up again!"

Hearing the voice next to him, Jiaodu was startled and glanced at the guy at the next table who was also wrapped up tightly.

Rebellious?

Colleagues?

And in his hand...

"Huh?"

Twenty million?!

Kakuzu's pupils suddenly shrank, and he noticed the series of numbers at a glance.

Rising again?!

Suddenly.

The whole person exudes firm eyes.

"Did...?"

…

at the same time.

Orochimaru suddenly shuddered uncontrollably, frowned slightly, and seemed to have a bad feeling in his heart [could it be...], but after a while, after disappearing, he stopped paying attention and continued to look at his hand.

According to the information on the website, "That Uchiha Shisui has left the village?"

"Yes, Orochimaru-sama." Kabuto Yakushi lowered his head respectfully.

"Going out at this time?" Orochimaru frowned, his face gloomy, he pondered for a moment, and said seriously, "Do you know what he is doing out there?"

Now...it's not peaceful outside!

"Back to Orochimaru-sama, according to the information obtained, it seems to be related to business." Kabuto Yakushi continued, "Furthermore, during this period of investigation, many milk teas and barbecues have been opened in the villages and towns in the Land of Fire that he originally abandoned.

store, perhaps Dark Earth Real Estate Company is expanding into other business areas?”

"Business related?" Orochimaru muttered to himself, and then sighed helplessly.

Because of the bounty, he stopped a lot of work, especially the intelligence collection in each village... At this time, there are dangers everywhere, and for him, intelligence is even more important! How many people still want to do something to me?

?

[If I also have strong power...]

A trace of fire flashed in Orochimaru's eyes. If he had the strength of the Sage of Six Paths back then, why not go out like this?

He can kill any enemy, so why be like this?

Huddle here carefully!

Something stirred in my heart, and I seemed to remember something. I took the paper aside, frowned, and took a look.

I saw it said...

[Brother Orochimaru, long time no see. For the sake of the friendship between Ameno Village and Konoha, Ameno Village is ready. As long as you come, I will treat you to Amano Village’s special delicacy - Sansho Fish! I guarantee you will be satisfied.

!

Wushan Pepper Fish Hanzo is waiting for your arrival!]

Orochimaru's eyes seemed a little tangled and uncertain.

Well, you Sanshouyu Hanzo, we agreed to deal with the enemies I lured from Konoha together, but I didn't expect you to be his partner. Orochimaru is still brooding about the past.

Moreover, he recently heard about the appearance of the Samsara Eye in Yuyin Village.

【If I get it...】

At this time.

Kabuto the pharmacist next to him saw Orochimaru-sama's appearance. Although he didn't know what Orochimaru-sama was thinking, he didn't dare to say anything and kept a respectful posture.

I do not know how long it has been.

Orochimaru sighed inwardly, his eyes changed, and he seemed to have made some kind of decision. He looked sharply and firmly at Yakushi Kabuto and other subordinates next to him, "Come here, give it to the Rain Ninja Village..."

The words are not finished yet.

"Lord Orochimaru! Lord Orochimaru!" Another ninja interrupted him and ran in in a panic.

Orochimaru stopped immediately, twitching the corner of his mouth, and looked at the bounty order that was kneeling respectfully on the ground and spread out by the ninja.

One two...a string of zeros!

He... was silent again.

He cursed in his heart: "Damn the Fourth Mizukage!"
