"White hair, young age, and unusual martial arts attire. Could it be..."

Kakuzu's eyes widened; he had guessed Carrot's identity.

Immediately, Kakuzu pulled out all the explosive tags on his body and threw them at Karot. Kakuzu still felt that wasn't enough, so he immediately formed hand seals.

"Fire Release: A Sea of ​​Fire Descends."

Instantly, the area burst into flames. Carrot was trapped in the fire, and explosive tags began to detonate. Kakuzu immediately turned and ran. He knew Carrot's identity and knew this wouldn't kill him; he was only doing this to buy time for his own escape.

Kakuzu's escape speed was incredible; the explosions behind him seemed to be the starting signal. The louder the explosions, the faster Kakuzu ran.

Kakuzu ran nearly twenty miles and hid in a cave, completely concealing his presence. He looked towards the cave's exit and spoke.

"He probably can't find this place!"

"I think we should be able to find it."

After Carrot emerged from the sea of ​​fire, Kakuzu had already vanished. Sensing Kakuzu's constant movement, Carrot decided to rest for a moment. Once Kakuzu's energy subsided, Carrot knew he had successfully hidden himself. For someone with the ability to teleport, this game of hide-and-seek was a piece of cake.

Carrot instantly teleported behind Kakuzu, just in time to hear Kakuzu's mutterings.

"what."

Kaku was startled. He wouldn't forget the sound behind him, so he rushed out of the cave without daring to look back.

Upon seeing Carrot emerge from the cave, Kakuzu was on high alert.

"How did you get here?"

Kakuzu had clearly confirmed that he was alone in the cave. Carrot's sudden appearance with the group filled Kakuzu with unease. Could it be a demon? The more mysterious and inexplicable something is, the more it inspires speculation and fear.

"It just happened all of a sudden."

Karot was right in front of him, but suddenly the voice came from behind Kakuzu.

Kakuzu didn't have time to think, but his body reacted instinctively. The kunai stabbed directly behind him, without the expected sensation of it piercing his body. Kakuzu turned around to look back.

Carrot leaned against a large tree, looking at Kakuzu with a mocking expression.

"what on earth do you want?"

Kakuzu finally spoke up. From Carrot's impressive display, Kakuzu already knew that Carrot's strength far surpassed his own. He simply couldn't understand Carrot's purpose.

"At first I just wanted to borrow some money from you, but now I've changed my mind."

"What idea? To kill me?"

After speaking, Kakuzu's body tensed up. He hadn't felt this kind of being at the mercy of others for a long time. Now, his heart was filled with bitterness.

"How could I kill someone? You can't say things like that!"

Kakuzu watched as Carrot spoke nonsense with a straight face. If he weren't outmatched, Kakuzu would have made Carrot understand the price of lying.

"Were the people you killed on the Cloud Ninja battlefield not human?"

Jiao Du dared not say these words aloud; he could only think them in his heart, for speaking them aloud might get him beaten to death.

"I'd like to take you under my wing now. It's because I've suddenly realized that it's better to teach someone how to fish than to give them a fish. I know that having one full meal means you can have enough to eat every day."

Kakuzu's money-making ability was well-known to Korot; Konan's hundreds of millions of explosive tags were all earned through Kakuzu's hard-earned money. With such a money-making machine, Korot's future food security was guaranteed. Even Goku had a wealthy friend named Bulma; shouldn't Korot have a money-making subordinate named Kakuzu?

"What if I say no?"

Kakuzu was used to being alone, and besides, he was not someone who easily trusted others. After experiencing the betrayal of his companions, Kakuzu felt that only money would never betray him.

"I'm just telling you my decision, not consulting you."

Seeing Kakuzu's furrowed brows and silence, Carrot already knew Kakuzu's choice.

"It seems I need to teach you a lesson before you'll think things through."

Carrot could understand Kakuzu's reaction. "I'm free and independent, why should I be your lackey, living under someone else's roof? Am I the only one who's unhappy and looking for trouble?"

Carrot instantly appeared in front of Kakuzu, and before Kakuzu could react, he kicked him, his knee striking Kakuzu directly in the abdomen.

Kakuzu was kicked into the air, and Carrot flew up and started punching and kicking him from mid-air. The sounds of "bang bang bang" were deafening. Kakuzu was completely unable to fight back and could only take the beating.

Carrot's attacks were all aimed at Kakuzu's most sensitive pain receptors. This caused Kakuzu to scream in pain.

This was the first time Kakuzu had ever experienced something like this, being hit like a punching bag in mid-air.

"I promise you, I promise you."

Before Carrot could stop, he threw several more punches. Kakuzu was thrown from mid-air to the ground by one of these punches.

Kakuzu stood up, his body aching all over, but he still raised his head and glared angrily at Carrot.

"Didn't I already agree? Why am I still getting beaten?"

Kakuzu's tone was filled with deep resentment towards Carrot. If looks could kill, Carrot would probably be dead by now from Kakuzu's murderous gaze.

"Oh dear, I'm sorry, I just went for it and couldn't stop."

After landing on the ground, Carrot spoke to Kakuzu, showing no embarrassment whatsoever. Carrot knew Kakuzu wasn't so easy to kill, so he couldn't help but hit this seemingly immortal human punching bag a few more times. After all, such opportunities were rare.

"you……"

Kakuzu was speechless. He knew that Carrot had clearly been emotional when he hit him, and he dared not complain to Carrot now, since no one wanted to be beaten up again for no reason.

Let bygones be bygones! We must look forward.

Carrot walked up to Kakuzu, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him. Carrot didn't know if Kakuzu had truly let go of the past, but Carrot had certainly let it go.

"Humph."

Kakuzu could only express his current interest with a hum.

Without Kakuzu saying much, Carrot knew that Kakuzu had tacitly agreed.

"As expected, there's nothing that a beating can't solve. If there is, then give it another beating."

Carrot thought to himself with a smug grin. A lackey who knows how to make money is a rare find, and a little temper is tolerable.

"I'm so happy today! To celebrate you joining my team, let's go on a team-building activity!"

Carrot made the decision with a wave of his hand. Kakuzu could only follow, the two walking side by side, but one of them walked very awkwardly, his face twitching from time to time, as he tried his best to suppress the pain in his body.

Carrot's enormous appetite shattered Kakuzu's worldview, only to reshape it again. What distressed Kakuzu most was that Carrot actually wanted him to pay the bill. Looking at the amount on the bill, Kakuzu felt his heart break. At that moment, he thought of dying, but in the end, reason prevailed over his desire for money.

Kakuzu now understood what Karot meant by "having enough to eat every day." He, Kakuzu, had become Karot's ATM. And so, this duo of spender and earner began their journey through the ninja world.

In Konoha Village, Jiraiya patted Minato on the shoulder and said...

"Don't worry, Minato, Shikikana will be fine."

Tonight is Kushina's delivery day, and Orochimaru has specially arranged a secluded and hidden location. This place is completely surrounded by Anbu to ensure no one can disturb her. This is because the seals on Kushina's body will loosen during childbirth, and the Nine-Tails might try to break free. If the Nine-Tails were to emerge, it could pose a threat to Konoha—of course, this is only the worst-case scenario. With the Sannin all present, and the seven Kage-level figures Minato, Shisui, Fugaku, and Hiruzen Sarutobi, they have nothing to fear even if the Nine-Tails were to emerge.

"Ouch! It hurts so much, I don't want to give birth anymore."

Kushina's voice came from inside the room. Minato's heart clenched. There was nothing he could do to help with this, so he could only wait outside. Fortunately, Jiraiya and the others were there to keep him company.

"Keep going, push harder, the head is already out."

Tsunade's cheers rang out at just the right time; as Konoha's best medical ninja, Tsunade was the most suitable midwife.

"Teacher, don't worry! Your wife is a lucky person, she'll be fine."

Kakashi had never seen Minato like this before. Minato usually gave off a warm and wise feeling, but now he was like a headless fly, unable to find his way and just wandering around.

"Minato-sensei, Kakashi is right. With Tsunade and Rin inside, everything will be alright."

Even the usually carefree Obito started comforting Minato.

"I know, but I just can't rest easy. Shinji Nai is screaming so loudly inside, I really can't help but worry."

Minato stopped and addressed the group, saying he didn't want to do this either, but he couldn't control himself; he loved Shinkanna so deeply. Everyone knew that when Shinkanna was dying, Minato would follow her in death.

"Wow."

A baby's cry echoed in the room, followed immediately by a loud shout.

"Who are you? How did you get here?"

Minato and the others, who had been keeping a close eye on the situation in the room, immediately sensed something was wrong and rushed inside. They found a man dressed in black with red cloud patterns and wearing a mask standing before them, holding Shinobu Nakajima hostage.

"Uchiha, what do you want? Let go of Kushina."

Those Sharingan eyes are known to everyone.

"Don't be in such a hurry, everyone. The real show is just beginning."

The Uchiha's eyes instantly changed, transforming from three-tomoe to Mangekyou Sharingan, and he shouted...

"Come out, Nine-Tails! Go and take your revenge! Hahaha!"

Because Kushina had just given birth, the seal had loosened. In addition, the seal on Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan was broken, and a large amount of chakra emerged from Kushina's body, forming a chakra storm that blew everyone away.

Soon after, the Nine-Tails emerged from Kushina's body.

"Roar."

A long roar vented the resentment of the Nine-Tails being sealed away.

Everyone immediately felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. A fully-formed Nine-Tails was a force to be reckoned with, and the combination of a Uchiha whose strength was unknown was a real headache.
