Chapter 670: The Famous Name Has No Money, I Do

Joining the Akatsuki sounds completely unreliable!

The first time they time‑traveled, Uchiha Obito declared war on the Ninja World at the Five Kage Summit.

One could say the Akatsuki's plan and Madara Uchiha's Moon's Eye plan aren't much different.

Both involve gathering the Nine Tailed Beasts and then achieving Ninja World Peace.

If you join the Akatsuki, you'll have to Capture and Seize Tail Beast.

Although Lian Ye's real goal is to seize the Akatsuki's money and Explosive Talisman, during his covert period, to avoid exposing his identity, he can only act according to the leader's plan.

"Are you really planning to do this?"

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang Unrelenting looked toward Lian Ye, thinking Lian Ye was just speaking on a whim.

"That's right, I want to join the Akatsuki!"

Lian Ye joins the Akatsuki not only for money but also to experience the life of a rogue ninja.

After all, in his timeline, the Akatsuki will no longer appear.

Even if it existed, it wouldn't be a rogue‑ninja organization.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang watched Lian Ye's serious expression, then sighed helplessly for a long while.

"Fine then."

At worst, when it's time to Capture and Seize Tail Beast, just wear a Mask on the face.

As long as you stay out of sight, nothing should happen.

"Jiaodu, where's the next target?"

Fei Duan boredly yawned; traveling nonstop is really dull.

Jiaodu was leafing through the bounty in his hand, frowning displeasedly.

"Can you be a bit quieter!"

If this guy didn't have an immortal body, he would have killed him long ago and claimed the bounty.

The previous few teammates were all killed by him for the money.

"Jiaodu, someone's coming from behind!"

Fei Duan, brandishing his scythe, said excitedly.

"Finally I can kill again!"

Traveling is too boring; a clueless guy showing up with a head makes for a good play!

"As you wish."

Jiaodu ignored Fei Duan and seriously searched for the next target.

These days the bounty quality is getting worse; there's not even a wealthy guy.

After looking around, the most valuable head is only ten million taels.

Moreover, traveling to the destination will take several days.

Fine, having something is better than nothing.

"Bang!"

Jiaodu had just put away the bounty notice when a figure shot out backward at extreme speed.

Looking closely, the one who flew out was clearly his partner Fei Duan!

Two people stood not far away; the long‑haired man still held a kicking stance.

No need to think, Fei Duan was kicked away by the other party.

Jiaodu narrowed his eyes at the sight, ready for battle.

Looks like the opponent comes with ill intent!

Jiaodu wasn't very surprised by Lian Ye and Tuan Cang's appearance.

They are rogue ninjas; being hunted by other Bounty Hunters is commonplace.

But in all those years, no Bounty Hunter has succeeded.

Just as he was about to ask the two about their background, the long‑haired man's next move made him stare wide‑eyed.

"I'm not here to fight you."

Lian Ye smiled, pulled a stack of cash from his coat, and waved it before Jiaodu.

"Can we have a chat?"

"Bastard, how dare you ambush me!"

Fei Duan, kicked away and brandishing his scythe, charged angrily, but Jiaodu held his wrist tightly.

"Jiaodu, what are you doing?" Fei Duan asked with a snarling expression, "Why are you blocking me!"

That damned guy ambushed me; I must make him experience ultimate pain!

"Fei Duan, don't be rude to my guest!"

In Jiaodu's view, Lian Ye being able to pull out a stack of cash at will shows he doesn't lack money at all.

Since he came to see me, he must need help!

"There's ten million taels inside; I want to talk with you."

Lian Ye produced a Storage Scroll and tossed it together with the cash.

"What do you want to talk about?"

Jiaodu, with a Storage Scroll tucked under his arm, flicked his fingers rapidly counting the cash.

Fei Duan saw Jiaodu's greedy demeanor; though irritated, he held back out of respect for his partner.

"I want to join the Akatsuki!"

Lian Ye bluntly stated his purpose; as for the money, it's merely being temporarily stored with Jiaodu.

Wait for the right moment, then snatch it back with both principal and profit!

"Do you want to join the Akatsuki?"

Jiaodu carefully tucked the money away, his face showing surprise as he looked at the two.

"Yes, the two of us brothers learned of the Akatsuki's strength and came specifically to seek refuge!" Lian Ye said with a smile, "We hope you two will be lenient and recommend us to join the organization."

"Wanting to join the Akatsuki isn't impossible," Jiaodu's eyes flickered, "It's just…"

"I understand, I understand!" Lian Ye produced two scrolls again, "Each contains five million taels, to serve as your referral fees."

Fei Duan reached out to take them, but Jiaodu's quick eyes and swift hands snatched them away.

"Hey, Jiaodu!" Fei Duan's hair stood on end in an instant, "That money is for me!"

"I stitched your body without charging a cent," Jiaodu gave him a cold stare, "The five million taels are my suturing fee; otherwise you'll have to piece yourself back together later."

Fei Duan: "…"

Fine, I can only give the money to him.

After all, besides eating, I have no other expenses.

"Alright, we'll take you to meet the leader right now."

Jiaodu taking the money is truly getting things done.

In his view, such a generous guy is exactly the kind of member the Akatsuki currently needs!

And being able to kick Fei Duan away shows his strength is also Elite Jonin Rank.

As long as we get them into the Akatsuki, we can legitimately demand money!

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang: "…"

I thought joining the Akatsuki would take a lot of effort, but Renye Flower just handed over money and bought the two.

An organization that opens its eyes at money must have plenty inside!

Who knows, good brothers might actually make money.

"By the way, what's your name?"

Jiaodu had been thinking about how to swindle the two into handing over cash, and forgot to ask their names.

"My name is Jiaodu, this guy is called Fei Duan."

"My name is Lian Ye, and he's called Tuan Tuan."

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang: "…"

Jiaodu nodded at the words, saying the name didn't matter, as long as there's money on them.

"Lian Ye, you seem quite rich?"

He began to feign casual inquiry about Lian Ye's information, and Fei Duan also perked up his ears to learn the situation.

"I guess so; to me, money is just a string of numbers."

Jiaodu: "!!!"

Money is just a string of numbers to him?!

Then this guy must be loaded!

I really seem to have stumbled upon a treasure, almost couldn't resist acting against Lian Ye.

But thinking about it, it's not right to kill the chicken for its egg.

Letting him join the organization is the wise choice!

Jiaodu subconsciously swallowed, his breathing rapid as he asked.

"Can you give a concrete figure?"

"When I was young, I was already financially free," Lian Ye said with a smile, "Konoha Village even comes to me for funding."

"Are you a Daimyo?!" Jiaodu exclaimed in shock.

"No," Lian Ye shook his head, "The Daimyo doesn't have as much money as I do."

"You should know that truly wealthy people, like me, usually don't expose themselves casually…"

Jiaodu: "!!!"

Found a treasure, really found a treasure!

With Lian Ye and Tuan Tuan arriving, the organization will never lack money again.

Tuan Cang watched Jiaodu's excited demeanor, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes.

Poor guy…
