People are in Hokage, one person at a time

"Ha, so refreshing. I didn't expect that taking a hot spring bath would be so comfortable. It's a pity that Brother Scorpion didn't come, otherwise I could see what Brother Scorpion looks like."

In a hot spring in the Mist Village, Deidara casually placed the wine glass on the shore and expressed his feelings bluntly, having never been good at hiding his thoughts.

Far away from Deidara, the silver-gray skinned Kisame was lying quietly, the ninety-year-old grandfather Kakubu was drinking his wine leisurely, Hidan was shaking his head and saying something, and it was speculated that Hidan was struggling in his heart whether to continue to degenerate like this or sacrifice himself. As for the initiator of the hot spring action, Yuexi took off the hot towel covering his face after hearing Deidara's words.

"Ha, your brother Scorpion is a genius puppeteer from the Sand Village. You know the Land of Wind, right? Even taking a bath is an extremely luxurious act. Soaking in hot springs is not even within your brother Scorpion's consideration range."

"But that's why we should try more. Anyway, we are not in the Sand Ninja now. We are all rebels. Why do we need to think so much? Brother Scorpion is like this. His ideas are as old-fashioned as his art. Brother Scorpion is so talented in explosions, but when it comes to art, Brother Scorpion just clings to his broken puppet."

"Broken puppet? That's not a problem, but Dilada, your brother Scorpion is best at human puppet technology. You know human puppets, right? I remember that during the Third Ninja World War, the head and body of Scorpion of the Red Sand had been exchanged for a bounty by Konoha, but your brother Scorpion has now appeared in the Akatsuki organization. Guess..."

"Is Brother Scorpion dead?"

Upon hearing the news, Deidara was obviously stunned. Although he and Sasori had a good relationship and had been partners for some time, Deidara had never known about Sasori's history.

"You can't say they're all dead. Anyway, the human puppet technology focuses on controlling the corpse through chakra. In addition, Scorpion's corpse has been exchanged for a bounty, so is there a possibility that your brother Scorpion has already transformed himself into a human puppet? There are many puppeteers in the Sand Village who have transformed their limbs into mechanical puppets. If that's the case, you don't want to take a hot spring bath with a corpse, right?"

"Ah? Is this still possible?"

Yuexi's words obviously touched upon Deidara's blind spot in knowledge, but as the most talented person in the Iwagakure in recent decades, Deidara's thoughts were a little strange, but that didn't mean that Deidara was stupid.

After a brief connection between the past and the present, Deidara understood what was going on. Although he didn't know how Scorpion operated specifically, he knew a little about puppet transformation technology, so Deidara agreed with this statement.

"No wonder Brother Scorpion is always so determined every time I try to persuade him. The puppeteer transforms himself into a puppet. Isn't this similar to my ultimate artistic conception?"

Deidara said calmly, and on the palm of his right hand, a mouth with teeth was licking the wine in the glass with its tongue.

So this mouth can really be used for eating?

Yuexi's attention was involuntarily drawn to Deidara's mouth. He originally thought that Deidara's modified organ was used to make explosive clay, but he didn't expect that this thing was really...

How is he connected to the esophagus?

Yuexi guessed that this might be related to chakra decomposition, but Yuexi was really not interested in this thing. Human body modification was too heretical. It was obvious that taking the right path would lead to the end, but they insisted on using those crooked ways. Although it was understandable, for someone like Deidara, it could only be said that he was not born to be suitable for the leg shadow.

"But speaking of which, if you want to see what Scorpion looks like, you can just look through the past bounty lists. I can't guarantee anything else, but Mr. Kakuzu must have something like a bounty list, right?"

"Really? Really? Kakuzu, do you really have a picture of Scorpion?"

Deidara asked expectantly. Although it was very rude, the ninety-year-old man was obviously used to the unreasonable behavior of these young people. After all, they were just Kakuzu's reserve funds. Which adult would go against the bounty?

"I used to have one, but after I found out that the Red Sand Scorpion had been exchanged for a bounty, I threw it away."

"Ah, why throw it away? It's such a pity. The bounty list is obviously worth collecting. How much was the bounty offered by Brother Scorpion at that time?"

"Eighty million taels."

"Eighty million taels?"

Deidara was obviously a little confused.

"No, Brother Scorpion is so valuable. What about me? How much am I worth? I can't be worse than Brother Scorpion, right?"

"you?"

Hearing Deidara's words, Kakuzu showed visibly his disgust.

"You are not on the bounty list. Even if you are, it is estimated to be only a few million taels. Boy, you are the least valuable one. Hidan's head is worth 20 million taels."

"Why!"

Deidara's mentality exploded. In terms of strength, Hidan was definitely at the bottom of the food chain of the Akatsuki organization. And this Hidan was worth 20 million. Wasn't this a slap in Deidara's face?

"What about Kisame, and Mizunotsuki Tsuki? How much are they both, they can't be worse than Hidan, right?"

Hearing this, Kakuzu wiped his face slowly and said, "The bounty on Kisame is about 30 million taels, but now Kisame's status as a traitorous ninja has been revoked, so Kisame's head is worthless. As for Mizunozuki's breath..."

After seeing Mizunoe Tsuki beating the Three-Tails, Kakuzu obviously didn't want to provoke the current Fifth Mizukage.

But as an old bounty hunter, Kakuzu obviously couldn't refuse the value of Yuexi, although it was a bit presumptuous, but...

"Mizunoe Yuexi has not appeared on the bounty list before, but there have always been bounties for bloodline limit ninjas. If we can find a buyer and make sure the person is alive, the maximum value of a bloodline limit ninja is about 80 million ryo. Add to that the strength of Mizunoe Yuexi's ice escape and Mizunoe's reputation, and if handled properly, it should be possible to buy it for between 150 million and 200 million. And this is the previous price."

Seeing that Yuexi had no intention of interrupting him, Kakuzu spoke more and more smoothly.

"Now that Mizunozuki is the fifth Mizukage, his price is bound to go up. As long as he makes some achievements, combined with his status as a Kage, his bounty should be over 300 million ryo. Of course, if you let me handle Deidara, I can still get tens of millions."
