Giving up the value of one's own existence in this world.

Money is life, money is the meaning of life.

Because I understand the bitterness of being betrayed, I don’t want to be betrayed by anyone again.

Money did not betray him, and he certainly had no reason to betray money.

Neither will you be betrayed by money, nor will you betray money.

If you put down your money, what will you have left?

What remains is emptiness, guilt, confusion, and true death.

When a person dies, it is the moment when faith collapses.

As long as the money does not fall, he will not die.

If you die with money in your arms, it is also a kind of sweet happiness.

What he holds in his hands is not money, but the faith and courage that make him strong enough to live in this hellish real world.

The sound of sharp blades cutting through the air kept coming to my ears, and then the detonating talisman emitted light and exploded next to me.

My body hurt as I rushed forward, but my speed had slowed down.

You can already hear the footsteps of the Sunagakure ninja behind you, getting closer and closer, and will soon catch up with him, snatch away his life, and snatch away his faith.

Kakuzu doesn't want to repent for having killed so many people.

If your own righteousness of making money hinders others, then in the eyes of others, you are an evil that must be eradicated.

Living is not happiness, and death is not worth lamenting.

Kill today and be killed tomorrow.

When you decide to take the path of ninja, you must be prepared to die and be killed in revenge.

It's a pity that in the end, I couldn't exchange this corpse worth hundreds of millions of taels... Compared with death, the moment when Kakuzu's consciousness was almost interrupted, this incident was even more regrettable.

Lying in a sea of ​​money and dying, it would be better if I could end up with such an illusion.

…

The explosion caused a storm in the center of the forest, with craters everywhere. Ye Gakure and the Sunagakure ninjas surrounded them, trying to recover all the enemy's corpses and Hanzo's corpses.

When I walked forward to take a look, the crater created by the explosion was still there, but the enemies who were supposed to die in the crater disappeared from the crater, as if they had never existed.

The sensing ninja responsible for locking the target looked stunned, and his chakra reaction...disappeared?

Where did the body go?

Is it possible that a dead person can escape on his own?

The Sunagakure ninjas surrounding the pothole also looked at each other in confusion.

"Yakura Jonin, what should we do next?"

"Look around, maybe it's hidden somewhere."

Ye Cang frowned, then waved his hand and ordered.

"yes."

The Sunagakure ninjas spread out and started searching.

The head popped up from the earth, and then the whole body emerged from the earth, and was laid down on the ground by the person behind him who was only breathing.

The native man who was responsible for the reconnaissance and infiltration work among the Xuan Yuans took a deep breath.

"Bringing people out from the hands of those Sunagakure ninjas, the secret was almost exposed."

The native man looked at Kakuzu lying on the ground. He was already dying. He could still hold on to his last breath in that situation. It was really a powerful life force.

An ordinary ninja would have been killed on the spot.

But when I saw Angle's body covered with tentacles, I felt relieved.

This is the powerful power gained by giving up the human body.

It's not like humans to have strong vitality.

The tentacles on Kakuzu's body were wilted, like algae spread on the cold ground, in a state of being scrapped and unusable.

Kakuzu raised his head with difficulty, his green pupils barely able to see clearly what was in front of him.

Including Tu Nan, who is proficient in earth escape and infiltration, the other four people are all his old acquaintances.

Secret agents affiliated with the Demon Country's military, a five-person group of Xuan Yuzhong that has emerged in the underground black market in recent years.

The leader is none other than the insect man who uses the secret technique of exploding insects.

Seeing Kakuzu in such a miserable state, the insect man had a teasing smile on his face.

"Mr. Kakuzu, you are really in trouble this time."

"Are you the one with the low bounty of 500,000 taels?"

"No, my salary has increased to ten million taels now."

Insect Man corrected Kakuzu's words.

"Really...are you here for my bounty...?"

Kakuzu spoke intermittently, and his body was extremely weak.

The fire attribute mask monster was destroyed by Sunagakure, and now he only has the last heart left. Once this heart is destroyed, it will be his time to die as an undead person.

He has a very high bounty on the underground black market. Although he maintains a secret financial cooperation relationship with the Kingdom of Ghosts, he has fallen to this point and the other party brought him out for self-evident purposes.

"The bounty of eighty-five million taels is indeed very tempting, but we are following the leader's order and are here to formally invite you to join."

The insect man put away his smile and said this to his opponent seriously.

"boring……"

"Is money so worth all you have to do? Even if you pay for it with your life?"

"What do brats like you know?"

"Kid?"

A weirdo who has lived from the Warring States Period to this day is indeed qualified to say this.

"Money is like life to me...hell...it's all about money."

"What an incredible amount of confidence."

"If you want me to join, you don't have to say anything. I have no interest in any organization."

Being in contact with others will inevitably lead to betrayal, and betrayal will remind him of unpleasant past events.

In this world where only money will not betray him, only money can be trusted.

"That being said, it is our leader's intention to save you."

"Huh... don't think that I will be grateful to you."

"If I needed your gratitude, I wouldn't have saved you... Moreover, the old man's arrogance is not cute at all. Mr. Kakuzu is already past that age."

This bastard! Kakuzu's green eyes burst out with murderous intent.

If he hadn't been unable to move now, he would have been cut into pieces.

No, if you think about it carefully, this is too cheap for him. It would be better to wait until his worth rises a bit before killing him.

After all, the other party's current bounty is only 10 million taels, and there is still a lot of room for appreciation.

It would be too cheap to kill him now.

Thinking like this, Kakuzu felt himself getting more and more tired, and his eyelids were so thick that he was about to close them. In the end, he couldn't resist his will to fall asleep and closed his eyes tiredly.

When Kakuzu regained consciousness again, there was some noise in his ears.

Someone is walking around me.

But the strange thing is that when I regained consciousness, I couldn't open my eyes and clearly see who was walking around me.

"What an amazing body!"

The man's exclamation filled with curiosity came to his ears.

Kakuzu can still smell the cold, cold smell of disinfectant around him.

The bed board that was in contact with the skin on his back was also very cold, making Kakuzu clearly aware that he was lying on the operating table and was being studied.

The unknown man next to him was acting recklessly with his body, sometimes stroking it, sometimes pinching it. Occasionally, he could hear the sound of a scalpel cutting something, and then he would cut something warm.

Inject it in.

He should be performing some kind of medical ninjutsu to restore his severely injured body.
