"Damn it, Jiraiya, you idiot, couldn't you let me sleep a little longer? You woke me up when I was dreaming the most important part!"

Squatting on the treetop with an unhappy look on his face, Danzo was still unsatisfied with the content of his dream.

"Damn Jiraiya, when we get back to the village, I'll send someone to follow you. If I catch you peeping at a girl taking a bath, I'll seal you in place and call people over to watch! Damn it, I'll let you disturb my sweet dreams."

"Ok?"

Danzo was thinking about how to torture Jiraiya when he suddenly sensed an unfamiliar chakra approaching.

After determining the opponent's location, Danzo swiftly moved through the woods and soon came near the opponent.

Sure enough, a shirtless man in the woods was approaching the village where he was staying.

"I'm afraid, why is it this guy?"

With the help of moonlight, Danzo could see the other person's face clearly.

Good man, isn't this the rebel ninja from Takigakure Village, the black-faced demon Kakuzu, who threw shurikens at the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama, eight hundred miles away? !

Why is this guy here? Weird?

Squatting on the tree, looking at Kakuzu with stitches all over his body, Danzo couldn't help but shiver all over and got goose bumps.

This was the first time he had seen it from a close distance. From a visual perspective, it was much more impactful than in the anime. The shape was so creepy.

This guy is a ruthless person. He only cares about money and not people. He specifically kills people with valuables. I don’t know which unlucky guy has been targeted by this black-faced ghost.

Looking at Kakuzu who continued to move forward, Danzo did not act rashly.

The other party’s true purpose is still unclear at the moment. What if the other party is just passing by?

Suddenly, Kakuzu in front of him stopped and reached out to touch the ground.

Hmm? Did this guy find some money?

I'm Chao! No, this is the Earth's Wrath!

Suddenly remembering his opponent's ability, Danzo decisively used the instant body-flash technique. Sure enough, the moment he disappeared, a black line appeared at the place where he had just stayed.

"Hmm? Such a keen observation."

Danzo dodged the attack and appeared not far in front of Kakuzu.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you're not bad at all. You can actually dodge the long-range attack of Di Yuanyu."

Slowly standing up, Kakuzu put away his resentment and looked Danzo up and down.

"Kakuzu, the traitorous ninja of Takigakure Village. I didn't expect to meet you here. Tell me, what is your purpose in coming here?"

After mobilizing the chakra in his body, Danzo hid his left hand behind his back and condensed the Wind Style Rasenshuriken, always paying attention to Kakuzu's every move.

Kakuzu simply tilted his head and pulled out a small notebook from his pocket.

"The leader of the Root of Konoha Village, Danzo Shimura, um... he's also the assistant to the Hokage, and his bounty is a whopping 120 million ryo."

What the hell? Only 120 million taels?!

Danzo didn't expect that he was so worthless. You know, Asuma's bounty was worth 3500 million taels.

With this little bounty, it would only be worth an A-level mission at most in Konoha Village.

"I didn't expect that you, who could perform such a terrifying ninjutsu and destroy an entire camp in the Sand Village with one strike, would be so worthless."

Shaking his head, Kakuzu put the small notebook back.

"Forget it, it's too cheap. I really don't have the interest to kill you."

Judging from what the other party said, it seems that he is not going to take action.

Danzo breathed a sigh of relief and dispersed the wind-style spiral shuriken that was gathered in his hand behind his back.

It’s not that he believed Kakuzu, but he was ready to have a good chat with this old monster who had lived for who knows how many years.

After all, this future finance minister of Akatsuki organization has only saved money and never spent it in his life.

Right now I am in need of money, and having a piggy bank like this can save me a lot of effort.

"Can we talk?"

Danzo pointed in the direction of the village where they were taking a temporary rest.

"can."

After a moment of silence, Angle nodded.

He had seen the fight between Danzo and the others, and wanted to take advantage of the situation to get rich, so he followed them secretly. He had no intention of taking action.

Besides, the person in front of me...is really not worth much.

Thanks to the original owner Danzo's style of doing things in his early years, he was always manipulating conspiracies, which led to the impression in the ninja world that although he was the leader of the Root and the assistant of the Hokage, he actually had no outstanding achievements and was just a thief with a low bounty.

A moment later, the two arrived outside the place where Danzo and others were staying.

After making sure that no one else was approaching, everyone in the room was sleeping peacefully.

Danzo closed the door gently, leaving behind a shadow clone, and the real body brought Kakuzu to another small room.

"I didn't expect that I would have the honor of meeting Kakuzu, the famous rebel ninja from Takigakure Village today."

As soon as he sat down, Danzo immediately revealed the angle's secrets.

"What, you know me?"

Kakuzu was not surprised by this. Ever since Danzo dodged the attack from the Earth Grudge, he had suspected that the other party knew of his abilities.

"After all, you fought against the First Hokage, although not many people remember this anymore."

Indeed, few people knew about Kakuzu's assassination of Hashirama Senju, because even Hashirama Senju himself never mentioned it.

I'm afraid only Hashirama Senju and Kakuzu know the details.

"Oh, by the way, I heard that you threw a shuriken at the First Hokage from eight hundred miles away and ran away?"

Danzo deliberately provoked Kakuzu and poked at his sore spot by bringing up issues that were not relevant to the topic.

"Asshole! You're talking nonsense! Who told you that?"

Hearing this, Jiaodu, who was usually indifferent, became so cold that his veins bulged and he cursed out loud.

"I fought a real battle with Senju Hashirama in the past, and it was only after he used the Wood Release that he was able to barely defeat me..."

According to Kakuzu's narration, he and Hashirama Senju first had a contest of physical skills, and the two were evenly matched.

In the end, they had a contest of ninjutsu, but due to his carelessness, Hashirama Senju was able to barely defeat him with a sneak attack.

Seeing Kakuzu trying hard to defend himself and bragging, Danzo ruthlessly exposed him and continued to stab him in the heart.

"Uh... are you sure? Can we stop bragging? Why don't I believe it? Did Senju Hashirama rely on sneak attacks to defeat you? Will you die if I don't brag? Come on, with your weak appearance, you might not even be able to defeat his clone."

angle:"……"

"Perhaps, 120 million taels is also a considerable amount of money."

Seeing a certain black-faced devil breaking down his defenses and staring at him with two green eyes, Danzo shuddered.

"Ahem, well, do you believe me when I say I'm joking? Let's talk business, business."

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Danzo laughed it off, fooled around casually, and started his real purpose.

"Are you interested in making a lot of money with me?"

After hearing Danzo's words, Kakuzu's already bright green eyes could be used as flashlights.

However, he decided to be a little reserved.

"How do you make a lot of money? Tell me quickly."

Seeing that Kakuzu had fallen into the trap, Danzo laughed in his heart and began to deceive the other party, introducing his foundation in Konoha Village to him in detail.

According to Danzo's description, the Root is an excellent group with assets of over 100 million, backed by the two big trees of Konoha Village and the Shimura clan, and with unlimited future development prospects.

He was stunned by what he heard, and when he heard that the assets were over 100 million, he hurriedly grabbed Danzo's arm and asked.

"Holy crap, is there really so much money?"

Coming from a small ninja village like Takigakure, this was the first time he heard that the Anbu branch of a village could be so rich.

"Hehe, of course. The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen is my good friend. Not to mention Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu who are in charge of finances. We are all students of the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama."

"Not to mention the industries of my Shimura clan in the village. Do you know that half of the most prosperous commercial street in Konoha Village is owned by my clan?"

"Ah this! What do you need from me?"

Kakuzu was already somewhat tempted, but he still needed to hear how much he would have to give and how much he would get in return.

"I can give you all these assets to manage. You just need to find a way to use the money to continuously expand income and maintain the operation of the roots."

"As for the reward, as long as it does not involve the funds needed for the normal operation of the roots, you can take the extra part as you wish."

Danzo was generous enough to let Kakuzu decide his own compensation.

Anyway, Angle is a notorious black-faced miser who only loves to make money and not spend it.

When the time comes that the survival of the company is at stake and money is needed, this guy will definitely pay as much as he can for the sake of sustainable development, and if it is not enough, he will take the initiative to pay for it.

"Oh, by the way, after all, we are a dark branch. If we encounter an enemy that is difficult to deal with, we will definitely need your military support. Of course, the money will be calculated separately."

Kakuzu never expected that Danzo would be so generous as to let him set his own salary. Although the prerequisite was that he had to make money, it was not difficult for him at all.

This is much easier than going out and killing people for money every day.

"Deal, no problem at all."

There was no need to think too much, Kakuzu agreed without even a second thought.

"Very good, very good, welcome to join the roots!"

After receiving a positive answer, Danzo happily pulled his arm out of Kakuzu's hand.

That’s great, Sbarasi~ You’ve achieved financial freedom from now on and don’t have to worry about funds anymore!

"Oh, by the way, since you have joined the Root, you still need to learn the core ideas of our Root."

"Central idea?"

Kakuzu scoffed at this. After so many years in the ninja world, he thought the core idea of ​​the Anbu was just brainwashing.

He didn't care.

"Well, let me give you a brief introduction. Anyway, we are a group of..."

……

When everyone woke up the next day, Danzo calmly introduced to them Kakuzu, who was already dressed beside him.

However, he did not directly reveal the other party's identity. Instead, he made up an excuse and said that the other party was a friend he had lost contact with for many years and he met him by chance while taking a walk last night.

Although Jiraiya and the others felt that their intelligence had been seriously insulted, after considering Danzo's identity, they were tactful enough not to ask any more questions.

Everyone just played it safe and let the matter pass.

They ate a simple meal, cleaned up their traces, and set off again.
