Naruto's Best Actor

Chapter 23 tasks

The night is dark, the moon is cold and lonely, and the forest is silent.

"leader"

A tall man stood by the forest on a moonlit night. He made no sound from beginning to end, just like a stone statue.

Until the arrival of the ninja in black.

The man slowly turned around, his green eyes like wild beasts, choosing people to devour.

"Kakuzu-sama, we have verified the intelligence. Jiuzong, a big businessman in the Kingdom of Birds, does have a large amount of food in his hands. The amount is beyond imagination."

Kakuzu looked at the darkness and vastness ahead, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Kakuzu-sama, should we take action?"

"Our manpower is limited. Even if we capture such a large amount of food, it will be difficult to transport it out of the Bird Country without being discovered and..."

Kakuzu grabbed the throat of the ninja in front of him, fingers and claws together. Just when he was about to kill the ninja in front of him, his body shattered and turned into water droplets scattered in all directions.

"Have you prepared a water body in advance? It's very prudent."

After the ninja used the Substitute Technique, instead of leaving, he entangled hundreds of ninjas who had already ambushed around him, and surrounded Kakuzu heavily.

"As expected, have you all betrayed me?"

These hundreds of ninjas are all members of the intelligence organization established by Kakuzu over the years.At this moment, facing everyone's betrayal, Kakuzu still had no expression on his face.

The ninja who used the Substitute Technique walked out from the crowd and said, "Kakuzu, hand over the Earthly Resentment Yu"

Kakuzu sneered and said disdainfully: "Is it just you?"

"Of course I'm not enough, but there are hundreds of ninjas here. We are all suffering people who have been enslaved by you over the years."

Kakuzu shook his head and said, "It seems you still don't understand what a ninja is."

The clothes were torn, and four masked monsters crawled out strangely from behind Kakuzu.Each masked monster represents the heart and will of Kakuzu.

"Fire Escape. Head Hard"

"Wind Escape. Pressure"

The sea of ​​flames instantly ignited the land, and everything as far as the eye could see was burned to ashes by the flames.A group of ninjas who had never seen Kakuzu take action were placed in the flames and were annihilated in the dust before they had time to regret.

The large-scale flames were driven by the wind. Under such a powerful attack, only ninjas who were proficient in water escape could survive.After this hellish experience, these ninjas could no longer resist the siege and wanted to escape.

However, Kakuzu did not give them this opportunity.

The masked monster with the thunder attribute jumped into the sky. The flames had just dissipated, and its weird mouth opened. The thunder attribute chakra condensed, and the sound of thunder and lightning resounded.

"Thunder Escape. Pseudo Darkness"

The thunder spear, with unparalleled power and momentum, headed towards the only remaining ninja on the earth.

But in a matter of moments, the lives of the remaining ninjas were harvested one by one.

Kakuzu walked step by step towards the leader of these ninjas who betrayed him.At this moment, he was seriously injured and could no longer use any ninjutsu.

The angle lifted him up, his eyes full of disdain.

"The so-called ninjas are sinking and killing in the abyss of hatred. Why do you think I have let you handle all the important affairs of the organization over the years? The world of ninjas is not fair. A powerful jounin can easily kill thousands of people. Hundreds of genin were killed. But your stupidity seems to be that you used my reward as capital to resist me."

Kakuzu exerted a little force, and the ninja in front of him became silent again.Looking at the messy battlefield, seeing the organization he had run for many years being destroyed by his own hands, Kakuzu didn't feel any regret or nostalgia at all, and just sighed slightly.

"There are not enough manpower now."

.........

"Please, Lord Bird Shadow"

Luyin Village, in the leader's house.The great businessman Hisamune prostrated himself in front of Shikamaru, pleading deeply.

"I want our Luyin Village to protect a batch of food in your hands."

Shikamaru said with some confusion.

"Yes. After the Third Ninja War, food shortages occurred in various places. Not long ago, there was news of food being stored in my trading company. I don't know why it leaked out. Ninjas everywhere took action after hearing the news. Just relying on my men's The guards are really tight. So, I want to ask Mr. Bird Shadow."

He was surprised by Shikamaru's youth, but Hisamune didn't have the slightest hint of contempt.

"As far as I know, the food in your hand was stored for the purpose of trading with Sunagakure Village and Iwagakure Village. In this case, why not simply ask the ninjas of these two ninja villages to dispatch guard, wouldn't it be safer?"

Jiu Zong's originally normal face finally showed a trace of strange color. "The deal I want to make with the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth is top secret, but Lord Bird Shadow actually knows it."

Shikamaru smiled and Hisamune didn't pursue it further.

"This matter is very complicated. Not only is it related to my business, but also the senior officials of Bird Country also want to use this to reach some consensus with the two major countries."

"consensus"

"Yes." Jiuzong nodded and said: "The prosperous Bird Country has never had a ninja village before, and it has been able to maintain peace in this world for a long time. It is precisely because the Bird Country secretly transported huge amounts of materials to these two countries. . It can be said that the Bird Country has always played the role of walking a tightrope in the relations between major powers, using its own weak power to maintain the delicate balance between the two countries."

Having said this, Jiuzong's face became very serious.

"So, if this deal goes wrong, the Kingdom of Birds will probably follow the same path as the Kingdom of Rain and become a battlefield between major powers."

“Is that so?”

Shikamaru nodded and said: "I can agree to your request, but you also know that we are starting a business in Shikakure Village. Is there any funding problem..."

"This is no problem"

........

"Are you adding insult to injury by asking Jiuzong directly for two mines?"

Xiaonan slowly walked out from the side, watched Jiuzong staggering away, and smiled.

However, Konan finally made some teasing remarks, and then sat cross-legged with Yahiko and others on the clean floor of the leader's house in front of Shikamaru, waiting for his orders.

"For this mission, Nagato, you will lead the entire Akatsuki organization out. Yahiko and Konan, you and two hundred Kage Zetsu will also go with you."

"Yes, Shikamaru-sama"

Just when Shikamaru was about to give the details, Deidara and the Red Sand Scorpion burst in.

"I heard you guys are taking action, is there anything fun?"

“Helping people protect food”

"Why, it turns out to be so boring. I thought there was something interesting about it." Deidara looked unhappy, and even the Red Sand Scorpion seemed to be lacking in interest.They are no better than Nagato and others, they did not join the Akatsuki, and they did not even join the village.

"However, if this mission succeeds, the village will have a huge amount of funds. I think the layout in the village is a bit monotonous, and I am planning to build an art museum..."

"Is it the Puppet Clay Art Museum?"

Before Shikamaru finished speaking, the Red Sand Scorpion and Deidara spoke up together.After that, they looked at each other again, secretly competing.

Shikamaru smiled, secretly thinking that free labor was coming.
