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

Do you know where Uchiha Renya lives?

Kakuzu grabbed a passerby by the collar and said in a cold voice.

"N-I don't know..."

Passersby were startled by his powerful aura.

Kakuzu, displeased at the sight, threw the person to the ground, his brows furrowed.

"That guy isn't dead, is he?!"

Kakuzu originally planned to take revenge ten years later, but then he discovered that Renya had become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki.

In the end, I gave up on the idea.

Ten years from now is not a guarantee; Lian Ye at sixty will certainly still be terrifying.

So he lay low in the shadows for another thirty years.

According to Kakuzu's speculation, ninety-year-old Renya should be in a condition where she is unable to take care of herself and is confined to a chair.

Although it's a bit immoral to bully Lian Ye like this, who told that guy to steal from him so many times?!

A gentleman takes his revenge, even after seventy years!

Kakuzu has been thinking about revenge every single day of the past few years.

She even frequently has nightmares about being robbed by someone.

Now, he can finally take his revenge openly and legitimately.

Arriving in Konoha Village, they searched for their enemy's lodging.

Unfortunately, he asked several people but got no clues.

I can't help but suspect that Uchiha Renya is dead.

"Impossible! That kind of beast couldn't have died so easily!"

Kakuzu quickly dismissed the idea.

Generally speaking, people who are so utterly wicked are unlikely to die so easily in their old age.

They are torn between life and death!

So he continued to inquire about Lianye's whereabouts on the streets.

"Hey, do you guys know where Uchiha Renya lives?"

Kakuzu spoke to a couple.

"You're looking for Grandpa Renye?" Naruto Uzumaki looked surprised. "Are you his friend?"

Upon hearing this, Kakuzu's eyes lit up, and he suppressed his excitement.

"That's right, I've come to see if he's dead!"

"Grandpa Lianye is not dead; he is still in good health."

"Haha, that's good, that's great!"

Following Naruto's directions, Kakuzu arrived at a courtyard.

"Tsk tsk, it's not as glorious as it used to be. Looks like that beast has really fallen on hard times!"

Upon seeing this, Kakuzu couldn't help but burst into laughter.

After lying low for seventy years, I can finally take my revenge.

"Uchiha Renya, I've come to visit you!"

With that, he kicked the gate down and stormed into the yard.

Then, he saw Renya lying in the chair watching him.

That guy's appearance didn't seem to have changed much.

Kakuzu's smile froze instantly.

"You, you rascal... how come you haven't aged at all...!"

"how?"

Renya looked at Kakuzu, who had a look of utter disbelief on his face, and said with amusement.

"Are you planning to take advantage of my inability to walk and then get revenge for robbing you back then?"

"Kakuzu, you've really made something of yourself!"

Chapter 749 Do you find immortality boring?

"Fine, I'm too lazy to bully you."

Renya looked at Kakuzu, who was almost urinating, and did not have any intention of robbing him.

Over the years, familiar people around me have gradually left.

He began to feel lonely and thought nothing meant anything.

Every day, I idly bask in the sun, seemingly without any change in my life, but in reality, my life has undergone earth-shattering changes.

Especially after Danzo left, no one in his family spoke to him anymore.

Even though Obito Uchiha would occasionally come to visit him.

Ultimately, it was a visit from a younger generation to an elder, not a visit between friends.

Kakuzu could be considered his friend, albeit barely.

When familiar faces have all left, seeing someone you once bullied evokes a deep sense of nostalgia.

Don't look at me like that!

Kakuzu noticed that Renya's eyes had become even more terrified.

Before, the beast looked at him with greed, as if he wanted to steal his money.

But now it's different. The emotion revealed in his eyes is not greed, but an unfathomable feeling.

This is the most terrifying Lian Ye; she seems capable of killing him at any moment!

Why such a big reaction?

Lian Ye patted the chair next to her, her expression returning to its nonchalant state.

"Have a chat with me."

Kakuzu dared not refuse and could only step forward tremblingly, sitting awkwardly in the chair.

His appearance was as obedient as a primary school student seeing his teacher.

Have you tried to make money over the years?

Upon hearing this, Kakuzu's tense heart finally relaxed.

If this guy is talking about money, then he probably won't be killed.

"Have."

"What's the point of making so much money if you don't spend it?"

Lian Ye truly couldn't understand why the other party was so obsessed with making money. With his abilities, he could live a very comfortable life even without money.

Kakuzu: "..."

He earned money before he even had a chance to spend it, but some beast stole it all from him.

Even if I wanted to spend it, I wouldn't have the chance!

He didn't meet Lian Ye for several decades afterward, and indeed amassed a considerable fortune.

But he still didn't dare to spend any money...

Because they know that if they don't get rid of that beast, the money they earn will never belong to him!

"I'm not going to rob you, I just want to have a chat."

Seeing his silence, Lianye assumed that he had developed a psychological trauma from being taken away by her.

Kakuzu looked up at Renya in surprise.

Has this guy changed his ways?!

They didn't even intend to rob him!

When he saw Lian Ye's still youthful face, he knew he couldn't keep his money.

They might even lose their lives here, but the current situation is beyond expectations...

“Money is essentially just a form of spiritual sustenance,” Kakuzu said in a low voice. “When I was young, the ninja world was full of war and betrayal. Even your comrades-in-arms could be betrayed by the village’s higher-ups.”

"Under such circumstances, I dare not trust anyone."

"The only thing you can trust is money..."

He was once a genius ninja in Takigakure, but the village's higher-ups, fearing his power, assigned him a mission that would surely lead to his death.

Assassinate Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi!

Everyone knew that this journey was fraught with danger, but they went anyway for the sake of the village.

The outcome was as expected.

He didn't even have a chance to fight Hashirama Senju before being defeated by a brat using poison, and almost died on the spot.

Fortunately, Hashirama was kind-hearted and allowed the little devil to give him the antidote.

Kakuzu, dragging his heavily injured body, struggled back to the village, only to discover that this was merely a tactic employed by the village's higher-ups to eliminate him.

In a fit of rage, he killed all the high-ranking officials and seized the Earth Grudge.

From then on, Kakuzu refused to believe anyone, and the only thing he could believe in was money!

His purpose in life shifted from dedicating his life to the village to making an endless amount of money.

"A spiritual sustenance?"

Lianye looked up at the azure sky and murmured softly.

What was his spiritual sustenance?

When I first arrived in the ninja world, all I wanted was to survive in this cruel world.

If possible, it would be best to live a very comfortable life.

Later, he did it.

After the First Shinobi World War ended, he possessed considerable power, giving him the means to simply give up and lie low.

At that time, Lianye truly felt that such days were perfect.

When did you start to feel bored?

It roughly started from the point that Hashirama Senju refused to be resurrected, followed by Madara Uchiha going to other timelines, then Tobirama Senju leaving, and Izuna Uchiha going to other timelines.

In the very end, Shimura Danzo left!

He was all alone in the large courtyard, surrounded by five empty chairs.

No one bothered him to cook, and no one spoke to him.

The bustling atmosphere of the past is gone.

Lianye suddenly felt that the courtyard was too big and too quiet.

So they moved to a small courtyard.

Although my daily life remains the same—cooking and sunbathing—I always feel empty inside.

Despite his generally cheerful personality, he sometimes falls into nihilism and begins to ponder the meaning of life.

This went on for a long time.

Until today, Kakuzu kicked open the gate to the courtyard and saw Kakuzu.

Lian Ye suddenly remembered a question she had casually asked him before.
