I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

After all, for someone who has lived for nearly a hundred years, life is always more precious than death.

Upon seeing the young man approaching carrying a horizontal sword...

The pitch-black monster instantly transformed into a sentient beast, lowering its dark blue mask, which in some ways represented its head.

The meaning is clear: they are willing to surrender.

But it was just a meaningless surrender.

Through the abilities of the Ushi no Toki, one can make two-way or one-way contracts with ordinary people.

But Ara didn't know whether such a contract would be useful for a monster like Kakuzu.

After all, even though this guy only has one life left, given enough time, he can recover to have five lives.

If it tries to escape or betray the organization, the only thing it will likely lose is the wind-attribute 'heart' that it has currently formed a contract with.

Therefore, the restrictions are only temporary.

True loyalty is only found by engraving one's intentions on the list of "good," like Hidan did.

"I hope you understand that your abilities are weak and dispensable to me."

"Your knowledge and your secret techniques cannot escape my eyes."

"Oh, right, since you're someone who survived from the time of Hashirama Senju, you should know what the Impure World Reincarnation technique is."

Therefore, you only have one chance to answer.

Huang spoke calmly.

Kakuzu's abilities are indeed dispensable to him.

As for the so-called bounty hunter job, no matter how good their gold-making ability is, and they work 365 days a year without rest, can they earn as much as the merchants and nobles of the Land of Thunder?

No,

This is just icing on the cake, and cannot be the deciding factor for retention.

After speaking, Huang deliberately paused for several breaths to allow himself time to ponder.

"alright,"

Give me the answer.

But how can a few breaths be considered a period of time?

It simply forces the former to choose 'yes' or 'no' from the heart at the most critical moment.

The Earthly Grudge Yu cannot speak.

However, faced with overwhelming power and having no cards to play, it chose to kneel down with a thud.

【善】：Kakuzu's submission.

"Ah,"

"As expected of someone who has lived for nearly a hundred years, he has indeed made the most correct choice."

"Go over there."

Huang's cold voice carried an undisguised hint of mockery.

Upon hearing this, the Earthly Grudge Yu, which possessed wind-attribute energy, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. It bowed its head and obediently walked slowly past the boy before suddenly rushing towards its own body embedded in the rock wall. Its hurried appearance suggested that it was afraid the other party might suddenly change its mind.

After subduing the two Akatsuki elites, Ara turned his attention to Gaara, who was still unconscious.

After moving to the latter's side, he did not choose to wake him up immediately, but instead used one hand to pry open the other's eyelids and enter the other's mental world.

"Boss!"

A simple and clear call rang out immediately; it was from Shukaku.

Compared to its sharp and high-pitched tone when we met before, it now seems to have suffered a serious illness, becoming very weak and listless.

However, judging from that call, the guy's mind is still intact.

"I will help you reclaim that portion of your chakra energy."

Huang said bluntly.

Before I arrived, the Nine-Sealing Technique of the Illusionary Dragon had already been in effect for some time.

While it wouldn't kill Shukaku, the power that was taken from her was enough to weaken her for a long time.

"Great, thank you so much, boss!!"

Hearing this,

Unaware of the cause and effect, the fox demon suddenly let out a clear, sharp shriek.

It was quite a change from its previous weak appearance, and even its unique square demonic eyes became a little brighter at this moment.

Perhaps it was truly because the excitement dispelled the inner weakness.

Well, of course, it's also possible that he deliberately pretended to look pitiful.

That's why, the moment their eyes met, they instantly reverted to their weakened state after being severely exploited.

"Once we're in my territory, you can come out for some fresh air if you want, but you have to apply through Gaara. Don't just come out randomly, understand?"

Looking into Shukaku's complex and ashamed eyes, Ara showed no concern or blame.

After all, he could tell the opponent's condition at a glance through his Sharingan.

With this small amount of permission to let people out, I treated it as an equivalent exchange for using the other party to attract the Akatsuki organization.

This newfound authority made the guilt and little stars in Shukaku's eyes even more pronounced, and for the first time, it felt that it had made an absolutely correct decision.

But in the next moment, it adopted a fighting stance, and its guilty-looking eyes suddenly turned hostile.

"Be careful, boss!!"

Through one of Gaara's eyes that had been forcibly opened, it saw two bastards who had suddenly appeared behind its boss.

If it weren't for the fact that this useless host had exhausted too much of its physical strength and chakra when facing that brat named Uchiha Sasuke, it wouldn't have been captured so quickly.

Seeing these two again, besides the hatred accumulated from being beaten, another reason for their riotous emotions was their urgent desire to protect their human leader who kept fulfilling the promise and gave them hope for freedom.

"It's ok."

However, the leader in front of him remained unmoved, and his words were spoken in a very casual tone.

This calm response instantly made Shukaku understand something.

And when it looked at the two bastards who belonged to the Akatsuki organization again, it could indeed see the mess and fear in their bodies and their condition.

Especially that guy with the slicked-back hair who was even more talkative than me. Not only was he no longer as chatty as when we met, but the emotion on his face was also incredibly humble, just like how I felt about Grandpa Rokudo.

It's a state of being oriented towards those in power!

"Then, rest well in the host's body before you arrive at my territory."

Without much explanation,

After offering a brief reassurance, Ara prepared to leave Gaara's mental world and respond to his two newly recruited henchmen.

"I know, boss."

Shukaku responded obediently and sensibly. Due to the rescue incident, he completely lost his mischievous and arrogant nature in front of Uchiha Ara, and even his response was soft and gentle.

"Boss, there's actually something else I need to tell you..."

However, just before the former left, it suddenly mustered up the courage to say something.

But the words caught in her throat.

Because he suddenly realized that since he hadn't done anything for his boss, he had no reason to ask the former to do anything more.

"Ah, it's nothing, I'll go back to sleep then."

So it then swallowed back the thought that had arisen in its mind.

But such a little scheme could not be hidden from Huang.

"If you want to rescue your other brothers and sisters from Akatsuki, then I will try to regain your power."

He didn't make any definitive statements, after all, conflicting with Pain was not his original intention.

His targets were only a few specific individuals.

The Eye of the Moon Project and Kaguya's resurrection were no longer within its consideration.

Instead of wasting time, I should think about how to deal with the threat from the God of Destruction, Asura.

"However, if that time really comes, you'll have to lend a hand."

From the sudden gratitude in Shukaku's demonic eyes, Ara knew he had guessed correctly.

At the same time, he then set conditions, stating that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

"Yes, I know, boss."

Upon hearing this, the giant fox demon straightened its body instantly and answered seriously.

Although its relationship with the other tailed beasts wasn't particularly good, its heart wavered when it sensed that those guys were sealed in that terrifying Gedo Mazo, and might never be able to emerge again, which led to its current thoughts.

What surprised him most was that his boss had actually seen through and granted his request. A flood of emotions surged through him, prompting him to swear an oath:

"If there is anything else, please feel free to ask me."

【善】：守鹤的感恩。

Chapter 576 Should I join the Demon Hidden Village?

"What are your orders, Chief?"

After glancing at his partner who was silent and timid beside him, Kakuzu, who had already properly assumed his status and position, took the lead in asking respectfully.

This title is a direct continuation of the habit from the Akatsuki era, but the sense of awe it conveys is somewhat different.

After all, the person who could completely tame Hidan, such a troublesome person, and even directly change his beliefs,

not much.

Or rather, it's extremely rare to find one!
