Chapter 798

Finally, after many twists and turns, she arrived at the current town.

Of course, Kurotsuchi didn't know that everything was actually her being a bit "self-indulgent."

Behind her, there were no "pursuers" at all; from beginning to end, she had never escaped Mizunuki Ryosuke's control.

Sometimes, perhaps ignorance is a blessing.

Just thinking like this, a sense of fatigue hit her heart, and Kurotsuchi gradually drifted into a dream.

Night is a time of rest for most creatures, but for those active in the underground world, it is the best time for action and business.

Because the night is the time most suitable for these rogue ninjas with unspeakable identities to act.

Recently, a bounty had been making a big stir in the underground world, and many people had their eyes fixed on this "fat sheep."

Among them were many rogue ninjas who had been famous in the underground world for a long time.

After all, it was a bounty of 100 million Ryo!

But in the vast sea of people, how easy is it to find someone?

For days, this Ninja World had been looking for the pretty Rock ninja girl on the bounty order.

Finally, tonight, a piece of news spread through the underground world at a very fast speed.

A thug force in the Land of Rain released news that they held information about the "fat sheep."

Immediately, the entire underground world was shocked!

Countless bounty hunters moved upon hearing the news and rushed toward the Land of Rain.

Under the rain curtain of the Land of Rain, a man who covered himself tightly with a straw raincoat was galloping in the night.

As he galloped, a flash of greed occasionally flickered in his fluorescent green pupils.

After all, it was a fat sheep worth 100 million Ryo!

For this huge wealth, he was determined to win!

Initially, after seeing the bounty at an Underground Exchange somewhere in the Land of Fire, he made up his mind that he was determined to win this fat sheep!

At this moment, after the news of the "fat sheep" was released, he immediately rushed from the Land of Fire to the Land of Rain without stopping.

Fortunately, the Land of Fire was adjacent to the Land of Rain, and at his full speed, it didn't take long before he arrived within the borders of the Land of Rain.

After traveling all night without rest, at dawn, he finally arrived at the location where the news was released.

—A plain town in the Land of Rain.

The journey from the Land of Fire to the Land of Rain could not be said to be far, but it definitely couldn't be called close either.

Even for a ninja, it would take two or three days.

But he only used one night to cross the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain and arrived at this town located within the Land of Rain.

And the reason was very simple.

Because he was very strong, or at least he was stronger than most people in the Ninja World.

For some ninjas, he was a living legend.

Because his name was—Kakuzu!

For an ordinary Genin, a ten-day journey, a Jonin could reach in three days, and for a Jonin to travel for three days, a Kage-level powerhouse could reach in one day.

This is the difference in basic quality brought about by different strengths.

Undoubtedly, Kakuzu was a Kage-level powerhouse.

And, he was a rogue ninja, an extraordinary rogue ninja.

As early as when Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara pacified the Ninja World, Kakuzu was already active in the Ninja World; at that time, Kakuzu was still a Takigakure ninja and had the title of "Hero of Takigakure" within the Takigakure Village.

Even in the entire Ninja World, he enjoyed a certain reputation.

It was just that something happened later that completely changed all of this.

At that time, the young Kakuzu received a mission secretly arranged by the village, the content of which was still shocking even today.

That was—to assassinate the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama!

At this point, if Kakuzu had a brain, he should have understood that he had become a discarded pawn of the village.

It was just that Kakuzu was young and hot-blooded at the time and still couldn't see through the darkness behind the village, and he actually overestimated himself and accepted this mission.

The result naturally goes without saying...

At that time, the gap between Kakuzu and Senju Hashirama was basically no different from the gap between a water faucet and the Three Gorges Dam.

The battle between the two was naturally not on the same level.

Kakuzu only had time to throw a shuriken from eight hundred miles away, and then he was almost killed on the spot by Senju Hashirama's shadow clone.

Perhaps it was luck, or perhaps it was Senju Hashirama not wanting to crush this "ant" to death.

Just like that, Kakuzu miraculously saved his life.

After that, Kakuzu understood everything; he knew he was just a discarded pawn thrown out by the village, so he simply went all the way, returned to Takigakure Village to steal the village's secret technique "Earth Grudge Fear," and then directly became a rogue ninja. ===== CHAPTER 800 =====
