Hokage: I, Kakuzu, Immortal God

"Kakuzu, Kakuzu, sir, you are finally back. I, I saved the laboratory."

Hanyu Kaiko was lying on the hospital bed, her face pale, and a mouthful of bright red blood spurted out from her mouth.

Holding Yizi's hand, Jiaodu lowered his head.

Hanyu Kaiko was too seriously injured, and her pulse showed that Hanyu Kako's life had come to an end.

"Stop talking...everything, everything..."

Kakuzu wanted to say a few words of comfort, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to say them.

Because, all this is just illusion...

Hanyu Kaiko saw this and a smile appeared on her lips.

He knew her physical condition.

I understand Kakuzu’s mood at this moment even more.

Kakuzu's iron blood cannot allow him to say anything against his will at this time.

"Kakuzu-sama, it's really good to be able to see you one last time. After I leave, take care of yourself. Kakuzu-sama, if, if there is an afterlife..."

Hanyu Kaiko's last words were not finished.

But she no longer had any strength holding Kakuzu's hand.

Although his eyes were still open, the life in them had completely dissipated.

There is no tragic farewell, only quiet silence.

Hanyu Kaiko, the first woman in Kakuzu passed away like this.

Heisei Rokuye and others who were guarding the side lowered their heads unconsciously.

……

Kakuzu finally led people to bury Hanyu Kaiko on the top of the highest mountain in Baishu Town.

Here you can overlook the entire Baishu Town scene.

Hanyu Kaiko can also review his life very well here.

Ninjas are immersed in the fight of blood and fire every day, and parting is the norm.

In this world, many people have accepted this state of affairs.

However, even if the departure of companions and relatives can numb their psychology, it can never cover up their feelings of hatred.

Leaf, hidden rock, hidden sand.

They were the direct factors leading to Hanyu's death.

Jiaodu needs an explanation.

Two days later.

The Sand Hidden Camp outside Baishu Town.

"Zaemon-sama, all 20 of our border patrol teams were attacked and suffered heavy losses... If this situation is allowed to continue, our military morale will be greatly shaken."

One of Sunagakure's combat captains said with a heavy heart.

In two days, a total of 76 of their people were attacked.

Regardless of whether they were genin, chunin, or jounin, they all punched through the chest, and no one survived.

The sophisticated and cruel methods made the Sand Ninja troops begin to feel uneasy.

As the commander-in-chief of the operation, Haneda Zaemon frowned when he heard this.

He stared at the map of Baishu Town with burning eyes.

He also has a headache now.

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is beyond his control to develop to this stage.

Originally, Sunagakure just wanted to take advantage of Baishu Town to launch a sneak attack on Iwagakure's people.

Who knew that Iwagakure's captain "Kari" saw through their intentions.

"Kuri" is also a strong hawk member of Iwagakure.

He led thousands of Iwa Ninja and started a fierce battle with Haneda Zaemon in Shirashu Town.

The fierce battle between the two parties also reminded Konoha next to them.

White Tree Town is located in the north of the Land of Fire, and Konoha is unprepared.

Therefore, the people of Konoha quickly led the team and participated in this war.

Sunagakure's plan was completely ruined.

But withdrawing troops like this would definitely be a huge blow to the morale of the military.

Therefore, Sunagakure's troops cannot withdraw.

Based on this situation, the strategy adopted by Haneda Zaemon can only be to form a triangle with Konoha Iwagakure and stalemate each other.

He even wanted to take the opportunity to intensify the conflict between Konoha and Iwagakure.

Konoha and Iwagakure will both lose in the fight, so that they, Sunagakure, can profit from it.

The plan to drive a wedge between Konoha and Iwagakure had just been implemented, but the patrol forces ahead had already suffered heavy losses, and Haneda Zaemon was also very troubled by this.

"Kakuzu?"

Haneda Zaemon muttered Kakuzu's name to himself.

As an outstanding member of the new generation of Sunagakure, he is no novice.

He had heard of Kakuzu's name, and he was a figure from the same period as their first Kazekage Raito.

Rumor has it that he was the one who killed the first Mizukage back then.

Although he has been very low-key these years.

But his bounty on the black market has reached 8000 million.

In terms of strength, he is an out-and-out shadow level powerhouse.

Originally, Haneda Zaemon saw such a valuable laboratory and wanted to use it for Sunagakure.

But he only recently learned that it was Kakuzu's property.

Now there is no doubt that Kakuzu's revenge has begun.

It's not a good thing to provoke a shadow-level powerhouse.

The things in Kakuzu's laboratory certainly have a lot of appeal to Haneda Zaemon.

But as the coach of the first army, he knew better and brought a victory to Sunagakure.

Defeating Konoha or Iwagakure and bringing endless honor and benefits to the national village is what he should do.

Comparing the two, the problems in the laboratory seem insignificant.

"Send someone to inform Kakuzu. I am willing to negotiate peace with him personally."

At dusk that day.

Sunagakure's envoy found Kakuzu.

For Sunagakure who turned White Tree Town into a place of war.

Heisei Rokuye and others were filled with hatred and resentment.

The swords in their hands are ready to move, and they have the urge to go up and cut the opponent into pieces.

However, Kakuzu finally stopped them.

Because killing an ordinary sand ninja is useless.

The angles all have bigger goals.

The answer to this sand ninja was simple.

At noon tomorrow, Kakuzu will come out in person to interview Haneda Zaemon.

Soon, the next day will come.

For safety reasons, Haneda Zaemon chose the location of the negotiation in a woods.

He stayed there for about 5 minutes.

In front of him, Jiao Buxu Buji's figure slowly walked towards him.

When they came closer, the two looked at each other.

Haneda Zaemon looked Kakuzu up and down first, and then slowly spoke.

"Kakuzu-senpai, nice to meet you."

Haneda Zaemon still showed the courtesy that a junior should have.

And Kakuzu behaved very calmly.

"I don't like to be long-winded. Tell me your ultimate goal."

Since Kakuzu got straight to the point, Haneda Zaemon said directly without being pretentious.

"Kakuzu-sama, the attack on your laboratory was just an accident. We Sunagakure did it unintentionally. It was Iwagakure's people who raised the butcher's knife against your people."

"I can assure you here that we, Sunagakure, will never enter the laboratory area again. I am willing to bear liability for compensation on behalf of our Sunagakure for the damage caused before. I just hope that you will not do anything to our Sunagakure ninjas. Carry out massacre.”

The price offered by Haneda Zaemon is also very interesting.

No more, no less, 8,000 million, which is exactly what Kakuzu is worth on the black market.

He felt that this price was completely sufficient for Kakuto's financial compensation.

A slight smile appeared on Kakuzu's lips.

If Sunagakure had negotiated money for him at any other time, he might have gladly accepted it.

But the death of Zi Zi destined all this to be empty talk.

"The raid on White Tree Town should be an order from your Kazekage."

Listening to Kakuzu's question, Haneda Zaemon frowned slightly and did not answer.

"Great, that's the answer right?"

"Then, please ask your Kazekage-sama to pay with his life."

Haneda Zaemon's eyes changed.

The education he received since childhood made him full of respect and awe for Feng Ying.

Kakuzu said this because he was pushing his boundaries.

"Kakuzu-sama, I respect you as a senior, so I asked you for an interview, but please don't push yourself too far and ask for impossible prices, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

"Haha~" Jiao Du smiled.

"What an arrogant junior."
