She caressed the severely weathered aqueduct carvings, her fingertips covered in sand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Twenty-three days ago, the underground water veins suddenly stopped flowing, and the oasis dried up overnight. This is definitely not a natural phenomenon. Shun, please think of a solution. If this continues, the people of Rōran won't last much longer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shun did not answer immediately, but slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the crimson Mangekyo Sharingan had appeared, with mysterious patterns swirling in his pupils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After activating Divine Eye, his gaze penetrated layers of sand, reaching deep underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the vision of Divine Eye, several unfamiliar Chakra fluctuations lurked within Rōran. One of them was particularly powerful, cold and greedy, carrying a strong scent of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kakuzu...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shun murmured the name, a hint of playfulness flashing in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sāra asked urgently, \"Shun, how is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shun's lips curled slightly. \"The underground water veins are still there, someone just deliberately blocked them. Perhaps, someone wants to use this method to force me to come here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He formed hand signs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadow Clone Technique!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang! Bang! Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dozen Shadow Clones instantly appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main body calmly instructed, \"Go play with those guests, remember to leave them alive. I want to know who is so interested in my head.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shadow Clones grinned, then scattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the desert ruins, screams continuously rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bounty hunter had just pulled out a kunai when he was immobilized by a Genjutsu. The most terrifying images appeared before his eyes, and his mind instantly collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another ninja attempting to escape was kicked over by a Shadow Clone, then pinned to the sand, his memories forcibly read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shadow Clone sneered, \"Underground bounty, 880 million ryo, quite a sum.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Shun's main body was already standing before Kakuzu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The masked rogue ninja from Takigakure was sitting on a large rock, counting the banknotes in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakuzu looked up, his green eyes glinting with greed. \"Shun, your head is very valuable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shun's lips slightly curved. \"You can try.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, he threw out a few kunai, activating Flying Thunder God Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish... Swish... Swish...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two instantly vanished from their original spots, reappearing deep within the desert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The desert storm howled in Kakuzu's ears. His pupils constricted, feeling a bit uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Space-time Ninjutsu? Interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shun stood before him, his gaze indifferent, as if looking at a struggling ant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kakuzu, you've lived for seventy-six years, let me see what you've got, shall we?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth Grudge Fear masks within Kakuzu's body writhed wildly, and Chakra of four elements boiled within him. He couldn't wait any longer; he had to go all out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire Release: Searing Migraine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind Release: Pressure Damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning Release: False Darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water Release: Water Formation Wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earth Release: Earth Spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five elemental Ninjutsu erupted simultaneously. Fire and strong winds intertwined, lightning and water curtains merged, forming a destructive torrent of energy that blasted towards Shun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Shun didn't even have the interest to dodge. His Mangekyo Sharingan began to spin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A boring fight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Complete Body Susanoo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom... Rumble!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The desert ground trembled, and orange Chakra shot into the sky like a volcanic eruption. Bones, flesh, armor, layer upon layer, finally forming a giant two hundred meters tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakuzu's torrent of Ninjutsu struck Susanoo's armor, but was completely annihilated without leaving even a single crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had lived for over seventy years, seen countless strong individuals, and even fought against the First Hokage, Hashirama.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he once again felt pure despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not a fight of the same level at all, it was an absolute crushing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a joke. The intelligence was wrong. Damn it.\" His voice was hoarse, and he unconsciously retreated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shun stood in the crystal on Susanoo's forehead, looking down at him, a slight smile on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What, not continuing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakuzu's rationality told him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Run! He must run!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned without hesitation, Earth Grudge Fear's Chakra frantically poured into his legs, his speed bursting to its limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A afterimage was left on the desert, and Kakuzu's figure had already rushed hundreds of meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shun just sighed softly, \"How uninteresting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand, Susanoo's giant sword slowly lifted, then slashed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The desert was split by a thousand-meter-long chasm, and the sandstorm stirred up by the shockwave swept through like a tsunami.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakuzu's body was sent flying by the aftermath, slamming heavily into a rock wall, blood spilling from the corner of his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shun stood within Susanoo, looking at the disheveled Kakuzu. He suddenly understood Madara's feelings when he toyed with the Five Kage in the original story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he used his full power, the opponent might not even be able to take one hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn't use his full power, the opponent would get a bit cocky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakuzu lay on the ground, playing dead, hoping to deceive his opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shun released Susanoo and said from above, \"Kakuzu, you don't need to play dead. I have no intention of killing you. I know your past and your character very well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Kakuzu still lay on the ground, motionless, continuing to play dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shun smiled and said, \"The Land of Water has only recently been unified, its financial system is chaotic, and the national treasury has 366 billion ryo. I need a 'professional' to manage it. Kakuzu, are you interested?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakuzu stood up nimbly. \"You want me to be your Minister of Finance. You trust me that much?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shun crossed his arms, smiling confidently. \"I trust my judgment, and I can help you realize your greatest value. Of course, the remuneration will also be very generous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakuzu stroked his chin, feeling somewhat swayed. After all, managing the national treasury was far more stable than being a bounty hunter, and the remuneration would certainly be substantial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I agree, but if you dare to treat me unfairly, I won't be polite.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shun nodded. \"Don't worry, as long as you do your job well, you won't be short on benefits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the battle ended, Shun took Kakuzu back to Rōran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used Divine Eye to find the closest spot to the underground water source. Then, he brought Sāra and the Rōran ministers to that spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He activated his Seraph form, condensing a flaming spear in his hand, and thrust it straight into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom... Boom... Boom...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the spear pierced the earth, drill-like flames continuously rushed downward, melting the sand and rocks along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A column of water shot into the sky, refracting a colorful rainbow in the morning sun.\u003C\u002Fp>",1140,"2026-06-06T13:59:43.785Z",1,"novelbin.me","0285ceadf265b84f067637ea03fa52c5dd1d82c9aa8c81f2724f9ba345adca0b","naruto-f-king-makes-me-stronger-chapter-129","naruto-f-king-makes-me-stronger-chapter-127",404,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnaruto-f-king-makes-me-stronger-cover.jpg"]
