Lurking in Konoha, working as a part-time Hokage
Chapter 275 Xiaonan’s Apology
Chapter 275 Xiaonan’s Apology (Part and )
The wind and sand are coming.
Hanekawa’s eyes flickered, and the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan opened.
Susanoo!
A cold and evil aura rose into the sky.
The air twisted, and in an instant, a white half-skeleton formed.
A huge amount of chakra surged, quickly covering the meridians and flesh on the half-skeleton.
Susanoo stretched out his hands to block Hanekawa.
Boom!
The strong wind hit Susanoo with amazing force.
With Hanekawa as the center, the terrifying air waves rolled up the yellow sand and spread in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, a gully appeared.
Only the area where Hanekawa was standing was safe and sound.
“how is this possible?”
Kakuzu’s pupils trembled, and he couldn’t help but ask, “What kind of ninjutsu is this?!”
“Sharingan.”
Hanekawa said casually.
“Isn’t the Sharingan’s symbol a magatama?”
Kakuzu asked, his eyes fixed.
But this aura is indeed the same as the Sharingan, it’s just that I don’t know how many times stronger it is.
“You can try.”
Hanekawa smiled, and his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan turned slightly, and an invisible pupil power spread out.
Magical shackle technique!
Kakuzu only felt that the surrounding environment changed instantly, and in the blink of an eye, he was in a dark illusion space.
He subconsciously wanted to use the teleportation technique, but found himself tied to an iron frame.
The sound of breaking wind sounded.
Two huge iron nails fell from the sky, trying to nail him down.
Kakuzu quickly dispelled the illusion and looked at Hanekawa with lingering fear.
He has five hearts and five types of chakra, so illusions have little effect on him.
But even so, he was pulled into the illusion with just one glance, which made him feel a little scared.
This Sharingan is truly overbearing.
No, that’s not right, this is not an ordinary Sharingan.
Is it possible that there is an advanced level above the Three-magatama Sharingan?
Kakuzu thought of Uchiha Madara.
Although he had never seen Uchiha Madara, he had heard of his battle achievements, especially his ability to fight Senju Hashirama on equal terms.
The three-magatama Sharingan is definitely not possible.
After all, Kakuzu was well aware of Hashirama Senju’s terrifying and invincible strength.
“Try this again.”
Hanekawa quickly formed hand seals.
Upon hearing this, Kakuzu immediately became extremely alert.
After a brief fight, he had already determined that Hanekawa was the second strongest ninja he had ever met in his life.
The strongest one is naturally Hashirama Senju.
Storm Release: Storm Demon Dragon!
Hanekawa’s chakra surged out, and black cumulonimbus clouds gathered in an instant.
The sky suddenly darkened, then brightened again.
Dense bolts of lightning suddenly poured down like a rainstorm, covering the entire Corner City.
Compound Ninja Technique·Fire Wind and Waves!
Kakuzu’s eyes trembled and his body instinctively stepped back, trying to get out of the range of the lightning.
But the lightning was too fast and it was too late.
He clapped his hands, and the Fire Style Mask and Wind Style Mask floated up at the same time, and opened his mouth.
Fireballs and wind balls were spit out, and suddenly they exploded in the air.
A flame formed, followed by a strong wind.
The fire was blown by the wind and suddenly there was a sea of fire covering the whole sky and earth.
The lightning and thunder plunged into the sea of fire, and suddenly there were loud explosions.
The chakra rolled up air waves mixed with yellow sand, and a sandstorm appeared in an instant.
Instantaneous technique!
Kakuzu took this opportunity to narrowly avoid the aftermath of the explosion.
“Kakuzu, try this one last time.”
Hanekawa said calmly, “If you can survive, you will be qualified to be my subordinate.”
“Even Senju Hashirama can’t kill me, let alone you?!”
Kakuzu understood the hidden meaning in his words and immediately felt despised, and became furious.
“You survived because he was kind, not because he couldn’t kill you.”
Hanekawa corrected.
“I……”
Kakuzu was about to retort when he suddenly felt a chill.
The half-skeleton suddenly stood up, clenched its right fist, and swung it at him.
Three huge magatama connected together and flew towards him.
The speed was so fast that he couldn’t dodge.
Earthly Resentment: Final Shot!
Kakuzu gritted his teeth and formed seals with his hands.
The Wind Style Mask, Fire Style Mask and Lightning Style Mask gathered in his arms.
Three different chakras flew out of their mouths and condensed together in the air to form a terrifying chakra cannon.
The chakra cannon and the three magatama collided with a loud bang.
A thunderous sound was heard in the sky, and chakra rolled like dark clouds.
The flames, strong winds, and lightning were torn apart in an instant, and the nearby yellow sand was shattered.
Kakuzu’s eyes suddenly widened.
In the chaos, a magatama still appeared in front of him.
Earth escape·Earth spear!
Kakuzu reacted extremely quickly and clapped his hands.
The skin suddenly hardened like rock, possessing amazing defensive power.
Boom!
The magatama exploded.
Kakuzu’s body flew out like a cannonball, hitting the yellow sand and forming a huge pit.
Hanekawa casually put away Susanoo and walked forward.
None of the horns died.
It is the effect of the earth’s resentment.
Countless black threads wrapped around him, as if a tailor was mending his body.
In other words, if you want to kill Kakuzu, in addition to destroying his five hearts, you have to instantly blow his body into oblivion.
Even if there are broken limbs or arms left, they can be restored by Di Yuan Yu.
And Hanekawa still remembers that Di Yuanyu can still help his teammates.
In the original work, Kakuzu once sutured the wounds of Hidan and Deidara.
“You…you won.”
Kakuzu forced himself to stand up.
“You have good strength.”
Hanekawa praised.
“…”
Jiaodu twitched the corner of his mouth.
He thought that there were few ninjas in the entire ninja world who could be his rivals.
Plus his age made him a senior to most ninjas.
But he never expected that one day he would hear such an evaluation.
“How’s it going? Have you thought about it clearly?”
Hanekawa smiled and said, “Become my subordinate, you can make a lot of money and eventually become the richest ninja in the ninja world.”
“You are indeed stronger than me.”
Kakuzu was silent for a few seconds and then said, “But making money is not that easy.”
Making money is his area of expertise.
He didn’t believe that Hanekawa could make more money than him.
“How much money can you make from commissions and bounties?”
Hanekawa shook his head and said, “If you want to make money, you have to make money from the daimyo and the nobles.”
“Daimyo and nobles?”
Kakuzu was stunned for a moment, looked him in the eyes, and asked, “Are you going to control them with your Sharingan?”
“Of course not.”
Hanekawa stretched out his hand and used the Palm Immortal Technique.
“You also know medical ninjutsu?”
Kakuzu asked in surprise.
“I know a little bit.”
Hanekawa continued, “I’ll talk to you in detail about how to make money later.”
His idea was to do business.
Of course, it is not ordinary business, but vital businesses such as banking, arms and media.
Perhaps because of the existence of ninjas, the five major countries have not formed a monopoly in the ninja world.
For example, munitions, also known as ninja tools.
In the original work, there is a rather outrageous setting, that is, the ninja tools of almost all countries come from the Village of Craftsmen in the Country of Craftsmen.
Such a profitable business was actually given to a small ninja village?
Kakuzu nodded upon hearing that.
He has become Hanekawa’s subordinate by default.
One reason is that we can’t win.
Second, he was very curious about Hanekawa’s so-called method of making money.
“Let’s go.”
Hanekawa withdrew his palm technique and said.
“where are we going?”
Kakuzu asked as he caught up with him.
“Sunagakure Village.”
Hanekawa casually explained, “Go find a ninja.”
“Are you a ninja from the Sand Village? No, you are a ninja from the Leaf Village?”
Kakuzu suddenly thought of his Sharingan and changed the subject.
What he can be sure of now is that Hanekawa is definitely not an unknown person.
After all, his strength is too outrageous.
The reason why he wears a mask is probably because he is too famous and would be recognized without it.
“I am a ninja from Konoha Village.”
Hanekawa glanced at him and said with a smile, “You can guess who I am.”
“Uchiha Fugaku?”
Kakuzu asked tentatively.
Although the Uchiha clan’s ninjas are powerful, there are almost no ninjas as powerful as Hanekawa.
The most likely ninja is Uchiha Fugaku, the patriarch of the Uchiha clan.
“No.”
Hanekawa shook his head and said.
Jiaozu couldn’t help but frown.
If it’s not Uchiha Fugaku, who else could it be?
There are only a few Uchiha clan ninjas with names in the ninja world.
“who are you?”
When they arrived at the Sand Village, Kakuzu tried to guess for a long time but failed to get it right. He was as curious as a mad cat.
“It’s okay to tell you.” Hanekawa took off the mask and said.
He put on a mask, mainly to protect himself from centipedes and hookah.
Kakuzu had been defeated by him.
In addition, as the business expands, he will inevitably have to rely on the power of Konoha Village, and his identity will be exposed sooner or later.
“So young? Wait, you look familiar.”
Kakuzu thought for a moment, then suddenly asked in shock, “You…you are Hanekawa?!”
“You ever met me?”
Hanekawa asked curiously.
“I’ve seen your portrait in the black market.”
Kakuzu took a deep breath and replied.
“black market?”
Hanekawa raised his eyebrows and asked, “So someone offered a reward for me? How much?”
“One hundred million taels.”
Kakuzu paused and added, “But no matter how much money is offered, no one dares to accept it.”
A ninja who can capture the tailed beast alive, no one would be stupid enough to assassinate him unless they wanted to die.
“One hundred million taels is not a small amount. Only the five major countries and five major villages can afford it.”
Hanekawa chuckled and said, “I’d like to know who it is.”
He guessed that the most likely ones were the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Stone Village.
“The black market is all anonymous commissions.”
Kakuzu shook his head, but couldn’t help asking, “How come you have both Wood Release and Sharingan?”
“If you want to live long, you must not be curious.”
Hanekawa stopped and asked, “Are you going to the black market to exchange your reward money?”
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll run away?”
Kakuzu asked, somewhat surprised.
“You can try.”
Hanekawa said with a smile on his face.
When he was treating Kakuzu before, he left a Flying Thunder God Mark on his body.
“Forget it, since I have already promised, I will not break my promise.”
Jiao said it from the heart.
This is Hanekawa.
A ninja who had just ended the Third Ninja World War single-handedly.
“then you go.”
Hanekawa said nonchalantly, “I’ll come find you when I’m done.”
After he finished speaking, he put on his mask and turned to go in another direction.
Baizu is no longer a rebel ninja, so he has a fixed residence.
Hanekawa had already learned about this from the Anbu in advance, so he went straight over there.
“who are you?”
Baizu opened the door and saw Hanekawa wearing a mask, and immediately looked alert.
Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan!
As soon as Hanekawa looked at him, she controlled him.
The current Baizu is at most at the level of a jonin, and he is an ordinary jonin at that, and cannot reach the strength of an elite jonin.
Without realizing it, he had no power to resist the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
“I’ll ask you an answer.”
Hanekawa closed the door and said.
After some communication, he basically understood the current situation of Baizu.
He didn’t know about the existence of the dragon vein, so naturally he wouldn’t study ways to break the seal.
It’s normal if you think about it carefully.
In the original work, Baizu was chased by Yamato, Uzumaki Naruto, Sai and Haruno Sakura, and was forced to activate the dragon vein.
If you calculate the time, this plot will not happen for at least another ten years.
But it doesn’t matter, Hanekawa can help him shorten the time.
After all, he knew what sealing techniques Minato Namikaze used.
Hanekawa used the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan to fabricate some false memories for him and then turned and left.
With these memories in hand, the centipede will head for the dragon vein.
Even with his help, breaking the seal is not an easy task and requires some time.
To prevent any accidents, Hanekawa will send another Anbu team to monitor him.
The black market, commonly known as the underground gold exchange, is also a special mission hall.
But it provides missions for rebellious and wandering ninjas, as well as bounty missions that can kill anyone.
From ordinary ninjas to ninjas with bloodline limits, to the Kage of the five major villages, and even the daimyo of the five major countries, all have clear prices.
After Kakuzu exchanged the bounty, he waited at the entrance of the black market.
He looked around and suddenly saw Hanekawa, who was standing in front of a bulletin board.
“Do you care about the Sand Village?”
Kakuzu walked forward and asked.
“The Sand Village is one of the five major villages. As the Hokage’s assistant, I naturally have to understand their situation.”
Hanekawa said casually.
“Hasn’t the Sand Village chosen the Fourth Kazekage yet?”
Kakuzu glanced at the notice board and asked
“Yakura is the acting Kazekage, so she has the upper hand, but her strength and record are not as good as Rasa’s.”
Hanekawa explained, “With the retirement of Chiyo and Ebizo, the situation is now very tense.”
“Then who do you support?”
Curiosity suddenly appeared on Kakuzu’s face.
“Why do you ask?”
Hanekawa glanced at him and asked.
“There is an underground casino in the Sand Village, where people are betting on who will become the Fourth Kazekage.”
Kakuzu stated his purpose, “If you knew, I would place the bet.”
Hanekawa was thoughtful.
In the ninja world, strength is the most important thing.
Rasa also has the magnetic escape technique of the Third Kazekage, which can help the Sand Village make money and ease the economic pressure.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will most likely be the Fourth Kazekage.
Unless external forces intervene.
If Ye Cang becomes the Kazekage, will there be an entry?
Hanekawa didn’t know.
But what he knew was that if Luo Sha became the Kazekage, he would definitely not have an entry.
This is something you can give a try.
Anyway, for him, it doesn’t matter who is the Kazekage.
“If you want to place a bet, you can bet on Ye Cang.”
Hanekawa smiled and said, “But don’t blame me if you lose the bet.”
There was a sudden hesitation on Kakuzu’s face.
“Well, I have a task for you now.”
Hanekawa changed the subject and said, “You should find a way to sneak into the Takumi Village and find out as much as possible about its situation. It would be best if you could become a high-ranking official.”
“Artisan Hidden Village?”
Kakuzu frowned slightly and asked, “You want to make ninja tools?”
“It’s not about making ninja tools, it’s about buying and selling ninja tools.”
Hanekawa corrected.
Kakuzu’s expression suddenly changed.
He already understood what Hanekawa wanted to do.
If we could sell ninja tools to various ninja villages, it would be very profitable indeed.
Kakuzu suddenly came to his senses and realized that his previous thinking was too limited to ninjas.
“Let’s go.”
Without further explanation, Hanekawa and Kakuzu left the Sand Village.
In the deserted desert, he simply disappeared on the spot.
“It’s Hanekawa after all.”
After seeing the Flying Thunder God Technique, Kakuzu became even more certain of Hanekawa’s identity, and the little thoughts in his heart were put away.
In his opinion, the most difficult ninja is not a ninja like Senju Hashirama, but a ninja who can use time and space ninjutsu.
Plus, Hanekawa is very strong.
Now it really becomes a situation where we can neither fight nor escape.
But with Hanekawa’s identity, he might really become the richest man in the ninja world.
Kakuzu secretly thought that it would not be bad to be a worker for the strongest man in the ninja world today.
In less than half an hour, Hanekawa arrived in the Land of Birds.
Controlling hookah is easier than controlling centipede.
After all, he is just a Jonin from a small ninja village.
Although they are both jonin, the jonin from the smaller ninja villages will be much weaker than those from the five major villages.
First, their assessment of jonin is not strict.
Second, the ninjutsu and secret techniques that their small ninja village can learn are far inferior to those of the five major villages.
After giving Shuiyan the order to attack Takigakure Village in two days, Hanekawa returned to the Anbu base in Konoha Village.
The reason for giving two days is so that Shisha and the others can get from the Land of Birds to the Land of Taki.
It’s such a long journey and there are so many people, it would be too troublesome to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to transport them.
“Hanekawa-sama.”
Haru came up to greet him and said, “Konan from the Akatsuki organization is visiting and is in your office.”
Hanekawa couldn’t help but be startled.
Why did Xiaonan come to see him?
Hanekawa thought about this and walked into the office.
“Hanekawa.”
Xiaonan stood up from the sofa and greeted him.
Hanekawa looked her over.
Because Yahiko is not dead, she is not wearing a black windbreaker embroidered with red clouds like in the original work.
She was wearing a black jumpsuit with a mesh lining at the neckline. The hem ended at her thighs, revealing a piece of fair skin.
“Senior Sister Xiaonan, long time no see.”
Hanekawa chuckled and asked, “What do you want from me?”
“I would like to first apologize for Akatsuki breaking its alliance with Konoha Village.”
Konan said as he bowed deeply.
The Leaf Village first helped them get rid of the demigod Hanzo, then formed an alliance with them and sent them supplies and money.
It is neither moral nor reasonable for Akatsuki to break the contract.
But Nagato was blinded by the revenge for his parents and with the instigation of Uchiha Madara, he insisted on having his own way, so they had no choice but to agree.
“Don’t mention the past anymore.”
Hanekawa said nonchalantly.
“Thank you.”
Xiaonan stood up and smiled.
Because of Hanekawa’s butterfly effect, the Akatsuki organization is now doing smoothly.
She is not as cold as in the original work.
Xiaonan’s smile quickly turned into hesitation.
Because she is going to ask Hanekawa for help next.
She hesitated for a few seconds and finally made up her mind.
After all, apart from Hanekawa, no one else can do this.
