Killing his way through the ninja world, starting from being adopted by the second generation!

It's in such a dilapidated state that people might even have trouble getting food, so where would they get the money to manage it?!

Kakuzu's face instantly darkened. "Is this all the organization has?"

How dare they let him manage the organization's money in such a dilapidated place?

Does this organization have enough money for him to manage?

“Um…we do only have these core members at the moment,” Yahiko said, scratching his head sheepishly. “The organization is still in the development stage, and we are still recruiting.”

"As for funding..."

He paused, seemingly organizing his thoughts.

There is currently no funding support.

Kakuzu's face turned completely black.

Damn it, I've really been tricked.

Indeed, one shouldn't rely on the promises of an organization with no reputation.

Without saying a word, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait, Lord Kakuzu!" Yahiko called out hurriedly.

Kakuzu didn't turn his head back, and quickened his pace.

All he wants now is to leave this impoverished place and go back to being a bounty hunter.

Akatsuki, Rinnegan—they're all just fluff!

Making money is the only way to go!

"Although our organization is currently short of funds, our master was very wealthy!"

Yahiko's voice came from behind, tinged with anxiety.

Xiao Nan finally managed to seduce this powerful individual; she couldn't just let him escape like that.

Kakuzu's steps came to an abrupt halt.

He remained standing with his back to the camera, his body slightly stiff.

The air was still for a few seconds.

Then, Kakuzu slowly turned around, his green eyes flashing with a complex light.

A sense of vigilance, suspicion, and a barely concealed flutter of excitement.

"Grandmaster?" His voice was hesitant. "Was your grandmaster really that rich?"

"Our teacher told us that our grandmaster was extremely wealthy; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was the richest man in the ninja world."

Yahiko breathed a sigh of relief, and his smile returned to its bright state.

"Although we have never met him, out of respect for our teacher, our grandmaster should give us some money to support the organization."

Kakuzu's eyes widened instantly, and his breathing became rapid.

The richest man in the ninja world!

"You mean, your grandmaster was the richest man in the ninja world?!"

Even a tiny bit of that kind of existence, leaking out between their fingers, would be enough for them to earn for many years.

Countless images of money flashed through his mind in an instant.

I never imagined that such a being would be the grandmaster of these poor bastards in front of me.

He didn't believe it at first, but seeing Yahiko's admiring gaze, he hesitated.

What if it's true?

At worst, it will take some time to verify its authenticity.

It's not too late to leave if things really don't work out!

"So when do you plan to go ask your master for money?"

Kakuzu looked at Yahiko.

"Let's go now!"

Yahiko's decision was not impulsive; his original plan was to go to Konoha to seek help from his master.

It's just that recruiting staff took up some time during this period.

It wasn't until Kakuzu appeared that the plan could begin to be implemented.

"it is good!"

Kakuzu looked at Miman's confident demeanor and knew that the other party was probably not deceiving him.

They really did have a grandmaster who was the richest man in the ninja world!

In that way, he will soon be able to manage a large sum of money.

Good days are just around the corner.

The Akatsuki members immediately began packing their things, preparing to head to Konoha Village to ask their master for money to support the organization.

"Yahiko, will our master really give us money?"

Nagato looked worried.

They had never met their master before. Would the master really give them money?

"Our master shouldn't refuse. If all else fails, we can ask Jiraiya for help."

Yahiko comforted with a smile.

No matter what, Jiraiya-sensei is a bestselling author in the ninja world.

The royalties will definitely be substantial!

Chapter 740 Is this the Grandmaster's home?

Konoha Detention Center.

"The person you're looking for is right here."

Members of the Uchiha Police Force led the Akatsuki members to the door of a prison cell.

Through the iron bars, they saw the white-haired man lying inside.

"Jiraiya-sensei?"

Yahiko called out tentatively.

Jiraiya, who was asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, sat up in bed, and looked towards the door.

Five people dressed in red robes with black cloud patterns stood at the entrance.

The three young men standing at the front were none other than his former disciples whom he had taken in during his time in the Land of Rain.

"Yahiko, Nagato, Konan, what brings you here!"

Jiraiya gripped the iron bars and said excitedly.

"Are you here to bail me out?!"

Because he was a repeat offender, his detention period was extended from the original fifteen days to one month.

Today is his third day in prison.

Kakuzu frowned slightly upon seeing this. "Is this the leader's teacher?"

It seems rather unreliable.

If the teachers are all so unreliable, how can that so-called richest master be reliable?!

For a moment, Kakuzu felt like he had been tricked again.

But since we're already here, we can only wait and see...

"Jiraiya-sensei, why are you locked up?" Yahiko asked worriedly.

They came to Konoha to inquire about Jiraiya's whereabouts, only to learn from others that he was being held in a detention center.

"Haha, it's a long story." Jiraiya quickly changed the subject, not wanting to ruin his image in front of his disciples. "Do you have any money on you? Can you bail me out?"

Ever since Teacher Lianye stopped taking care of him, no one has bailed him out.

Friends and disciples were also powerless to help.

Tsunade is drowning in debt; it's a miracle she's not asking him for money. Orochimaru is holed up in his lab doing research all day; he's completely unreachable.

Minato and Kushina were at home taking care of the children, and he didn't want to disturb them.

He originally thought he would be locked up for a month, but the arrival of Yahiko and the others gave him hope.

Yahiko and the other two looked at each other, then took out some change from their pockets.

"Jiraiya-sensei, is this enough?"

The Akatsuki organization was dirt poor; their only funds were used to make organization uniforms.

This money is now practically all of their assets.

They wouldn't have bothered their teacher and grandmaster if they hadn't been forced to.

Jiraiya: "..."

He looked at the loose change, opened his mouth but said nothing.

Unexpectedly, his disciples have lived such miserable lives over the years, to the point that it would not be an exaggeration to say they are penniless.

"Hey, they say your teacher is very rich, is that true or not?"

Kakuzu couldn't bear to watch any longer and looked at Jiraiya to ask.

Jiraiya noticed that they were wearing the same clothes and guessed that they were probably companions of the disciples.

"That's right, my teacher is very rich!"

Upon hearing this, Kakuzu pulled a storage scroll from his crotch and looked at the Uchiha clansman standing next to him. "There is one million taels inside. I want to bail him out."

This was all the money he had on him; he had secretly hidden the rest.

This was to prevent myself from running into Uchiha Renya someday.

Even if we do encounter it, we'll only lose some money, not be robbed of everything like the previous times.

"A million? You're trying to fob me off with a beggar's money."

The Uchiha clansman crossed his arms and scoffed disdainfully.

“The bail for habitual offenders is five million. If they don’t have the money, they should just wait patiently until they finish their sentence.”

Kakuzu: "???"

Five million?

Why doesn't this guy just rob someone!

Konoha truly lives up to its reputation as the most developed ninja village in the ninja world; even their bail amounts are terrifying.

I can't even imagine how rich the richest master Yahiko mentioned really was!

It seems that joining the Akatsuki organization was the best decision he ever made.

As long as I can get money from the richest man's master, I will be able to manage the organization's huge funds in the future.

But right now, he doesn't have that much money at all!

"Tch, if you don't have the money, get lost after you've seen the person." The Uchiha clansman sneered, "Don't stand here in the way."

Upon hearing this, Kakuzu gave the Uchiha clansman who had spoken a cold look.

As expected, all the Uchiha clan members are incredibly annoying!

It seems we must teach them a lesson they won't forget.

He might not be able to beat Uchiha Renya, but he could certainly beat the Uchiha clansmen in front of him!

"You dare to lay a hand on me here?"
