Madara, let's change the world together!

Black Zetsu fell silent. If it was such a deadly oath...

He clenched his teeth, his yellow eyes wide open!

"it is good!"

"Make such a vicious oath!"

So the two of them took an oath and agreed to abide by the above terms of the transaction.

Kiyoshi Gen smiled.

"Then from now until the transaction is over, you will be my subordinate."

"understood."

Just as Black Zetsu uttered those words, Kiyoi Gen immediately found Black Zetsu's information panel in the system.

As long as Black Zetsu acknowledges that he is his subordinate, the system will classify Black Zetsu as part of his sphere of influence.

Once this relationship is established, he will be fully aware of Black Zetsu's every move.

In other words, Black Zetsu can no longer cause any trouble under his nose.

Kiyoshi Gen lightly flicked the cube-shaped barrier seal in front of him.

The seal shattered instantly, dispelling the seal.

Black Zetsu, on the other hand, fell to the ground like a puddle of black mud.

"Kiyoshi Gen, what do you want me to do?"

Right now, Black Zetsu just wants time to pass quickly, or for Madara to be resurrected as soon as possible.

That way, his mother might be saved.

"Not urgent."

Kiyoshi Gen said slowly.

"I need you to come with me to the Land of Rain."

"But not now."

"I will not leave Hatsuhi Village until I have mastered more life-saving ninjutsu."

He already has a brilliant idea for an extremely powerful life-saving ninjutsu.

"You should stay hidden by my side now."

"I'll let you know when I need you."

Black Zetsu nodded his round head and casually disappeared underground.

Kiyoshi looked at the system panel.

This Black Zetsu seems to be keeping its promise and hasn't made any rash moves.

It must be the effect of the vow.

Even if the oath has no binding force, Black Zetsu certainly wouldn't want to break such a poisonous oath as to seal Kaguya Otsutsuki away forever.

Of course, he didn't want to either.

Hagoromo and Hamura

Although he understood their motives, the thought of his own mother, Miki, experiencing something like that...

Some people even had murderous thoughts.

Five days later, Kakuzu had already ordered a large ship to be prepared and stocked with a large amount of supplies, and it officially set sail for Kirigakure in the Land of Water.

The Land of Water is an island nation surrounded by the sea.

Due to its geographical location, the Water Kingdom has limited communication with the outside world, and few large caravans would make a special trip across the sea to trade here.

Although the Land of Water is an island nation, its territory still has many unique terrain features such as mountains.

The islands surrounding the main island also have a variety of customs and traditions, making it a country where there are significant differences in folk customs between islands.

Because of the numerous islands, it's extremely difficult to find your way around here without a local.

but

Money makes the world go round.

With money, someone will naturally guide Kakuzu's fleet.

half a month later.

"Here, this is your payment."

A fisherman looked at the hundred taels of silver notes from the Water Kingdom in his hand and his face almost fell.

The man, whose face was almost completely covered except for his eyes, approached him and said he would pay him for leading the way.

As a result, the other party showed him what it would look like if a fireball blew up a small hill.

Then they asked him how much compensation he needed.

······

How could he dare to report too much!

That little bit of money isn't even as much as he earns from fishing for five days.

"Thank you for your hard work, I'm sorry."

At this moment, a young man ran up to the fisherman and handed him a thousand taels of silver again.

"Lord Kakuzu is a bit too lenient, please bear with him."

After handing over the reward, the young man ran towards Kakuzu's direction.

"Lord Kakuzu! Please wait for me!"

Kakuzu snorted coldly.

"Hmph! Pointless kindness!"

"One hundred taels is enough for his food for the next half month."

The young man smiled apologetically.

"Lord Kakuzu, others also have wives and children to support. Our caravan has also made a lot of money this time, so it's right to bribe them a bit more."

Otherwise, why would Lord Gen specifically remind him not to let Kakuzu save money too much?

“Chizai, they are not villagers of my Hatsuhi Village.”

"Giving them enough money to eat is enough."

"You've all been spoiled rotten by the village!"

"Life outside is nowhere near as wonderful as this!"

The young man named Zhizai scratched his head, unable to refute it.

However, many years later, this place will surely fall under Lord Yuan's jurisdiction.

By then, the fisherman won't be extorted by Lord Kakuzu anymore.

Chapter 70 Preparations Before the War

With someone who had been to Kirigakure before leading the way, Kakuzu and his caravan arrived at Kirigakure smoothly.

However, halfway there, a large number of ninjas suddenly appeared in front of the caravan.

The leader was a slightly overweight young man with sharp teeth and long orange hair.

He carried a large, flat, round sword wrapped in bandages on his back; it belonged to Suigetsu Hozuki, who had recently been promoted to Jonin and obtained the sword Samehada.

"Hey!"

The pufferfish demon looked at Kakuzu, who was covered up completely, and pointed his Samehada on his back at him.

"You're Kakuzumi, the rogue ninja from Takigakure, aren't you!"

Kakuzu wasn't surprised; he had long been wanted by Takigakure.

But so what?

"Want to make a move?"

"Kid, if you die, you'll lose everything."

Black tentacles emerged from Kakuzu's sleeve, looking extremely ominous.

At that moment, the young man, Zhizai, rushed out.

"Lord Suigetsu, and all the ninja lords of Kirigakure."

"Lord Kakuzu is a ninja we hired at great expense for our caravan, after all, we brought a lot of goods this time."

Tomoya approached Sushiyama and pulled a bulging money pouch from his sleeve.

Suigetsu clearly put Samehada back on his back and skillfully put the money pouch into his pocket.

The slightly chubby ninja with a mouthful of sharp teeth patted Tomoya on the shoulder and said kindly.

“Tomoya, your caravan has been trading with Kirigakure for two or three years now.”

"Don't you know how reliable we Hidden Mist Ninja are?"

Zhizai smiled apologetically.

"I didn't want to trouble you gentlemen, did I?"

"After all, our caravan is going to the five great nations to do business, so it is quite necessary to have a powerful ninja who does not belong to the five great villages."

"You are all satisfied with the safekeeping of the goods this time."

Suigetsu glanced at Kakuzu but said nothing more.

There's really no need to be overly wary of rogue ninjas who weren't originally from the Five Great Villages.

"Come with me."
