I'm doing Jujutsu Kaisen in the ninja world.

The result was a devastating loss!

Not only were all the men they sent wiped out, but they didn't even find the target's body.

Fortunately, this prevented the people of Yunyin from realizing their true purpose.

After a heated debate, the forces behind the gold exchange decided to entrust the task to professionals.

Shinji did not accept the offer and instead proposed another cooperation plan.

Therefore, they ultimately chose the Akatsuki organization as their partner.

Furthermore, taking advantage of Kakuzu's act of selling corpses, they reached an initial cooperation agreement with him by using the [Crystal Heart] obtained from Shinji as part of the payment.

That led to the final scene at the end of the meeting.

Kakuzu has already confirmed the specific effects through experiments, so he is determined to obtain this [Crystal Heart]!

Despite living for so long, his strength has actually stagnated for many years, remaining unchanged.

The real reason is that the resentment and fear of the earth both made him and limited him.

Therefore, he needs a stronger heart!

And this [Crystal Heart] perfectly fulfilled all his requirements.

An even more powerful Crystal Release ninjutsu!

Its indestructible nature!

And the flexibility to change it at any time!

These advantages deeply attracted him.

No one else's heart has the ability to store energy; once it loses its vitality, it becomes useless. But this [Crystal Heart] is different; it can be replaced at any time.

He could easily carry this [Crystal Heart] with him at all times, and then use it as a backup heart in critical moments to surprise the enemy!

Therefore, Kakuzu is determined to obtain this [Crystal Heart]!

Within a few days, Kakuzu and the sinister-looking Muramasa arrived at Kumogakure and began their plan.

Although the gold exchange staff experienced a failure, the spy successfully transmitted information about the location of the corpse.

puff!

With a sinister look on his face, Muramasa wielded a dark red demon sword and swiftly killed the Cloud Village ninja who patrolled the vicinity.

Then something strange happened.

As the demon sword emitted a red light, the two Cloud Village ninjas who had been killed mechanically and stiffly got up from the ground again, and then continued to patrol the vicinity with lifeless eyes.

Kakuzu glanced at him but said nothing.

Clearly, during their time as partners, he had witnessed his partner's bizarre abilities more than once.

It was as if anyone killed by that demonic sword would be enslaved, then return as a ghost, at its beck and call.

However, there seems to be a certain upper limit in terms of time and quantity.

This was Kakuzu's own speculation and has not been confirmed. However, on one occasion when he saw the other party commanding new undead, several corpses that had been there before collapsed and rotted.

Because this mission required infiltration, Muramasa was extremely cautious every time he made a move, trying to choose inconspicuous vital points to attack, and he would also make some cover-ups when he enslaved the target afterwards.

This meant that they encountered almost no significant obstacles on their way in, and it was highly unlikely that they would be discovered in a short period of time.

"We've arrived. According to the intelligence, this is the place."

Kakuzu checked the map, then quickly pushed open the door and went inside.

Inside was a morgue, specifically used to store many corpses.

Kakuzu found freezer number 33, opened it, and found Hanami's body lying quietly inside.

This should be it.

Kakuzu took out a scroll and sealed Hanami's corpse inside as quickly as possible. Then, his eyes flashed, and he immediately opened all the freezers around him.

"what are you doing?"

Muramasa was about to leave after successfully completing his mission when he discovered that Kakuzu was frantically stealing corpses.

"Since we're already here, we can't let such a good opportunity pass us by!"

Kakuzu's face was filled with greed. The corpses stored here included both cursed spirits and humans. He tried to select the 'valuable' corpses and seal them in scrolls. Once he got out, he would sell them to the gold exchange and was sure to get a good price!

Moreover, such an opportunity is very rare.

Muramasa was extremely displeased. He already looked down on Kakuzu, and now that he saw Kakuzu doing such a thing to earn extra money, he felt even more disgusted.

Kakuzu saw it, but he didn't care.

A few minutes later, Muramasa suddenly frowned. "My puppet has been discovered. You can continue playing with your corpse. I'm leaving."

Upon hearing this, Kakuzu glanced regretfully at the remaining corpses that he hadn't been able to pack up and take with him, then carefully put away all the scrolls.

"Let's go."

As soon as they stepped out of the building, a group of Cloud Village ninjas surrounded them.

"You created this trouble yourself, so you have to deal with it. If you hadn't delayed for so long, we would be out of the woods by now."

Muramasa said coldly, showing no intention of making a move.

Kakuzu knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't refute anything, but instead proved everything with his actions.

Terrifying black lines surged from Kakuzu's body like a tidal wave, piercing through all the Cloud Village ninjas in front of him and hanging them in the air, their hearts ripped out and they died.

"A bunch of useless trash. Apart from the Raikage, no one can stop me from leaving."

"This way."

Muramasa glanced at him and then had a dead puppet lead the way.

The most interesting thing about these undead puppets is that they still retain a certain degree of memories from their previous lives, and even after death they follow the behavior logic of the living.

So it's more accurate to call them living dead rather than corpses.

Because the two left quickly and in time, by the time the others arrived, it was too late; all they saw were corpses scattered on the ground.

Then the sirens immediately went off!

All the Cloud Village ninjas who remained in the village began to move, searching for traces of the intruders.

Meanwhile, Kakuzu and Muramasa, with the help of the puppeteers, had already secretly made their way to the back mountain of Kumogakure from a certain direction.

"This is not the way out."

Kakuzu suddenly said something with a gloomy expression.

Unexpectedly, Muramasa nodded, "I never said I was going to leave like this."

What do you want to do?

Kakuzu suddenly had a bad feeling.

Muramasa laughed immediately, "I helped you get so many corpses just now, now it's your turn to help me."

After they finished speaking, the two arrived at the entrance of an underground palace.

"The Two-Tails Jinchuriki is hiding inside. I can't wait any longer." Muramasa couldn't help but reveal a sickly smile.

[Chapter 358 Capturing the Tailed Beast]

Kakuzu's worst fears came true.

Muramasa is completely out of control!

He had thought that Muramasa had tolerated his selfish behavior because he had come to terms with reality, but he never expected that this was what was waiting for him here.

"The leader's plan hasn't really begun yet, I won't let you run wild!"

Kakuzu's face was grim, and he was even ready to take action.

"Nonsense? If I hadn't been drawn to this plan, I wouldn't have joined you. Now I'm like a wage slave, running around as a mercenary to make money every day. What do you take me for?"

"Since the leader has not yet made up his mind, then I will draw back the curtain on a new era!"

"Make your choice now: help me capture the Two-Tails, or fight to the death here with me?"

"Just a friendly reminder: if the two of us start fighting here, we'll be discovered by the Cloud Village very quickly, and then neither of us will be able to escape."

Muramasa has now revealed his true colors.

Why would someone who hates working for others to earn money agree to come to Kumogakure with Kakuzu, and even tolerate Kakuzu doing shady work for corpses?

This is the moment we've been waiting for!

Kakuzu knew he had no chance of refusing unless he could instantly kill his opponent.

But if he could do that, why would he have waited until now? He would have done it already!

"Afterwards, you can explain to the leader yourself. I hope you are mentally prepared to anger God."

Kakuzu snorted coldly, then lifted his foot and walked towards the underground palace.

Muramasa was naturally unconcerned about Kakuzu's threat, because he feared no one.

As long as he can bring the Two-Tails Jinchuriki back, everything will be settled.

If the leader of Akatsuki is still holding him back then, then don't blame him for taking his place.

The sounds of fierce fighting echoed throughout the underground palace, but also prevented the sound from spreading further.

This is a fight to the death!

Only the victor has the right to leave the underground palace.

After an unknown amount of time, the underground palace, which had nearly collapsed, finally stopped shaking.

Kakuzu and Muramasa lay on the ground, panting heavily, looking quite miserable.

The Two-Tails Jinchuriki was pinned to the wall with a knife, covered in blood.

Kakuzu and Muramasa did indeed pay a heavy price in order to capture her alive.

Kakuzu's heart was shattered three times, and Muramasa was burned to death several times.
