"Okay, you two go and destroy all of Akatsuki's strongholds outside of the Land of Rain."

"If you encounter other Akatsuki members along the way, fight them if you can, and if you can't, just call my name in your heart."

As they spoke, two contracts burning with ominous ghost flames materialized out of thin air and were pushed toward the two of them.

These are two unilateral master-servant contracts created by the power of the Ugly Hour Woman.

"Offer your blood."

The boy's cold command followed.

Faced with this illusory contract that revealed a real sense of strangeness and foreboding, Hidan dared not disobey in the slightest. He immediately dipped his right hand, which was still in his mouth, in the blood and pressed it directly onto the eerie ghost fire.

Then, a feeling of having his soul branded with a distinct mark arose spontaneously, and a visible nail mark slowly disappeared under the back of his hand.

Such a miraculous act only intensified their piety, for it was far more tangible than simply using an iron triangular necklace to mark the existence of an evil god.

Seeing his partner offer his blood so readily, Kakuzu dared not delay, and bit his finger and pressed it against the contract in front of him.

Immediately, a similar feeling and the mark representing the master-servant contract were applied to him.

An unusually complex emotion stirred within him.

After all, he had been free for almost a hundred years, and relying on his immortality technique, he was fearless and invincible. He never expected that he would be shackled today.

However, he quickly suppressed these complex emotions.

It was precisely because he had lived for nearly a hundred years that he cherished his life more than ordinary people and knew better what reverence meant.

"Don't we need to just go back and fight our way back, or continue collecting the Tailed Beasts or something?"

Kakuzu asked proactively.

If you want to live well and live a long life, the best attitude is undoubtedly to offer to do something for the leader.

"Need not,"

"My goal is not Akatsuki or the Tailed Beasts."

"Besides, putting Hidan aside, you don't want to die again, do you?"

While denying it, Huang also asked a question in return.

Ultimately, unlike Hidan, the former only possesses a false immortality, having a few more lives than an ordinary person.

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Kakuzu's dark green eyes narrowed slightly, as if the question had touched something deep within him that he couldn't speak of.

"Then, let's set off immediately."

He then added that a qualified bounty hunter does not need rest time, or rather, the journey to the destination is the time for rest.

The same principle applies to a particular believer.

However, before leaving, Kakuzu could not suppress the restlessness in his heart and made a petition:

"Chief, may I take the monk's body with me?"

"This corpse can fetch a bounty of thirty million taels on the black market."

"I will hand over every penny of this reward."

He spoke very respectfully and carefully, afraid of upsetting the other person.

Of course, the real reason they wanted the corpse was for its heart.

After all, he used to have five lives, but now he only has one left, which makes him somewhat uneasy.

Especially after betraying the Akatsuki organization, it means being prepared to be hunted down by them.

[Absolute] Putting aside the strength of that thing for now, its ability to infiltrate, track, and search is extremely powerful.

The only good news is that there seems to be some trouble between Payne and Zetsu, and they shouldn't retaliate anytime soon.

But there's always a chance of something going wrong.

"You may take the heart of the land."

Looking at the cautious Akatsuki organization's financial steward in front of him, Ara immediately saw through his little scheme.

This answer caused Kakuzu's expression to freeze for a moment, and then a look of shame and awe, which he didn't know how to put down, appeared in his eyes.

It wasn't just because his inner thoughts were seen through by the former, but also because the identity of the great monk was no longer in the other party's blind spot.

"Yes, thank you, Chief."

After a brief downtime, he immediately expressed his gratitude.

"Of all the bounties you earn in the Land of the Dead and thereafter, you may hand over half of them and distribute the rest as you see fit."

Huang did not respond to his subordinates' gratitude, but instead added to the conversation.

This addition stirred a strange ripple in Kakuzu's eyes once again.

Although he didn't care about the bounty, unlike Akatsuki, he had a sum of money that didn't belong to the organization and that he could spend on his own.

This is a difference in nature and meaning!

He used to be just a thug, now he's a thug with a decent salary!

"But one thing is certain: whether it's the ninja hearts you acquire in the future or the bounty missions you take on, you must be able to distinguish between good and evil."

"You understand what I mean?"

Ara looked into Kakuzu's eyes and asked in return.

As for Hidan, he was quite at ease.

Unless that so-called evil god can truly manifest itself and resolve its own problems, thus restoring faith.

Otherwise, if I point east, this guy will definitely not dare to go west.

"Yes, I understand."

"Then we'll take our leave."

Concerned about the terrifying intimidation emanating from the leader's eyes, Kakuzu answered with great care.

With a formal staffing system in place, certain rules and regulations are necessary.

He tried to convince himself.

By the way, shouldn't the black market itself be considered a form of wrongdoing?

[How about we destroy Akatsuki's stronghold first, and then reshuffle the black market?]

And in a very short moment, he found another breakthrough to realize his self-worth.

However, before the immortal duo carried Jiraiya away, Ara did not forget to obtain some blood from him, which was used as material to summon the shikigami Aoandon.

Without regard for his subordinates present, he directly conjured a deep blue talisman to perform a spirit summoning.

Because he harbored no goodwill towards the monks of the Fire Country Temple who had previously made things difficult for him, he was unwilling to collect their blood any further and intended to take it back to the Land of Hot Water:

"The demons of the other shore, following my blood, descended upon this realm to serve me."

"Your name is Aoandon!"

As the talisman shattered and golden light poured out, a young monk dressed in a blue robe and holding a staff appeared, stepping into the dazzling Buddhist light.

And as he revealed himself, a series of weathered mutterings, somewhat incongruous with his appearance and age, followed:

“You have a heavy aura of death about you.”

"well,"

"So, it seems that no world can escape sin and killing?"

"Then your meeting is a karmic entanglement, so please allow this humble monk to guide you."

"From now on, I will enter the Buddhist order and devote myself to doing good."

"Infinite!"

With a final, explosive shout, golden light burst forth around him, and obscure Buddhist chants murmured.

However, during this period, the initial restraint that had even bound the Asuras failed to take effect.

It is unclear whether this was because the monk did not truly intend to kill, or because he was merely chanting Buddhist scriptures without directly using force.

In short, Huang felt as if his whole body was enveloped by a strange sense of discomfort.

Not only him, but also the other ninja swordsmen present, after all, they had blood on their hands.

However, since this being was a product of their own family's spiritual communication, they did not act rashly.

"That's it?"

"Unfortunately."

"Buddha will not save me."

The suddenly appearing pitch-black chakra giant hand, like a celestial dog devouring the moon, gradually and slowly swallowed up the golden light that filled the mountain, until it imprisoned the person within the giant hand.

"Blue Monk, right?"

"How about we make a bet? You stay by my side and see if you can convert me first, or fall into the path of killing with me."

Looking at the incredulous-looking monk, Huang tempted him.

Each shikigami requires a different method of forming a bond, and one should convert oneself by accepting the other's obsession for the time being.

Not long after, Bai Yi found his way here by following the marks left by Zabuza.

"The three from Sunagakure, except for Jonin Maki, are all conscious and have already reunited with the Sunagakure ninja."

"Your people have already reached the edge of the forest connecting to the Valley of the End at dawn. If they do not stop to rest, they are expected to reach the border of the Land of Fields by tomorrow evening."

He knelt on the ground, adhering to the etiquette that belongs to superiors and subordinates.

"Um,"

Upon receiving the message, Huang nodded slightly and then looked at the red-haired boy who was still lying on the ground.

"So, how much longer will you remain unconscious?"

Nothing can fool the Sharingan.
