Chapter 589: 20 million!
No one knows about the disappearance of Uchiha Shisui and Team Guren for the time being.
Even the fact that a large number of Uchiha ninjas had come to the Amegakure Village was not noticed by anyone.
Thanks to the barrier, everything before seemed to have never happened, leaving only an empty building foundation in the corner of the Amegakure Village.
Passers-by were all sighing that it was really difficult to open a store in the Amegakure Village nowadays.
On the contrary, Hoshigaki Kisame, who had just returned to the maintenance force to rest for a while, once again called up his men after receiving a letter from the Kirigakure, and rushed to the location of the Immortal Duo found out by the previous intelligence investigation.
In the territory of the Land of Rivers.
Next to a building similar to a highway supermarket, a figure wearing a black-bottomed purple-eyed robe sat bored at the door of the "supermarket".
In a place like this, which is located in a remote area and there is not even a decent road around, it is naturally impossible for a fool to build a supermarket here.
In fact, this so-called "supermarket" is just to hide the underground gold exchange in the territory of the Land of Rivers.
Of course, this disguise doesn't seem to be very thoughtful.
Looking back at the motionless 'supermarket entrance', Mōryō yawned impatiently.
"Really, we agreed to go back as soon as you replenished the heart, but you insisted on taking a heart with a bounty. Isn't this a waste of time?!"
As a formal member of the organization forcibly abducted by the mysterious leader, Mōryō's personality has become more and more Buddhist in the past two years.
Although the word "Buddhist" seems a bit strange to be used for him, an incarnation of evil thoughts separated from the body of an ancient priestess.
However, Mōryō himself is also very helpless about the current situation.
It stands to reason that he, a big villain who almost destroyed the entire ninja world a thousand years ago, should continue to realize his 'great ambition' as soon as he appears.
But it's a pity that he has just appeared in the world, and the contemporary priestess of the Land of Demons who can merge with him was captured and hidden by the mysterious leader.
Having lost his "body", Mōryō can only choose to occupy the bodies of other people to continue to exist in the world.
However, the bodies of ordinary people cannot withstand the erosion of Mōryō's power. Only the body of White Zetsu provided by the mysterious leader can allow him to survive for a longer period of time.
Mōryō, who has no countermeasures, seems to have no other way except to obey the orders of the leader.
Now, his only hope is to enjoy the colorful world a thousand years later.
Maybe one day, the unlucky leader will be killed, and he may have a chance to find his original body again.
When Mōryō was a little absent-minded, wondering whether he should take out the anniversary edition of "Water Dragon" and read it again, a familiar sound of footsteps came from behind.
"You are finally done. Is it necessary to wait until the money is counted before coming out every time?"
"Shut up, old man. If you keep talking nonsense, I will kill you!"
Kakuzu, who had just walked out of the money exchange, walked to the side of Mōryō with a suitcase of money with an indifferent face.
For this guy who doesn't understand the beauty of money, Kakuzu was too lazy to explain anything to him.
If this guy could be killed, he wouldn't have teamed up with this guy for so long.
He would have killed this old guy who was more than ten times older than himself.
Just when Mōryō stood up and was about to leave with Kakuzu.
A series of strange "hurry, hurry" sounds suddenly came from the side of the two.
Then an extremely long and strange scroll, like a spirit snake, twisted and twisted at a very fast speed and wrapped around the two.
"Explosive Blade Jutsu: Multiple Explosions of Death!"
"Boom boom--"
A series of huge explosions resounded through the surroundings, and the entire open space was covered by the sudden explosion fire and thick smoke.
The small supermarket used as a disguise was blown to pieces on the spot.
In the thick smoke, the two quickly dodged and rushed out.
However, what came to them was a dense shuriken attack.
After a series of "ding ding ding dang dang" metal collisions.
Kakuzu, who performed "Earth Style: Earth Spear" in time, did not suffer any injuries.
On the contrary, Mōryō standing beside him, although he consciously relied on his teammates to cover himself, his body was still densely pierced with more than a dozen shurikens.
However, even so, Mōryō just pulled out these shurikens one by one with a nonchalant look.
For a demon like him, who is essentially an evil spirit, as long as the body has not been completely destroyed, it will not affect his soul possession.
After they stood still, they noticed that dozens of ninjas had appeared here without them noticing that they were about to surround them.
"It's like this again. I told you not to come to the exchange office all the time, right?"
Although he complained about Kakuzu always revealing his whereabouts because of this kind of thing, there was no sign of nervousness on Mōryō's face.
Before Kakuzu could say anything,
Hozuki Shingetsu, who was at the forefront of the encirclement and carrying the Explosive Blade on his shoulders again, complained with some regret.
"What? My perfect sneak attack has no effect at all?!"
Isaburo, who was standing next to Hozuki Shingetsu, looked at the jumpy kid with disdain and rolled his eyes, but didn't say much.
"The rebel ninja of Takigakure, Kakuzu, codenamed North. The Sealed Demon of the Land of Demons, Mōryō, codenamed Three."
"The Immortal Duo of the Zero Organization, I am now formally arresting you two in the name of the commander-in-chief of the Maintenance Force. Please try not to resist."
Ignoring the so-called "perfect sneak attack" by Hozuki Shingetsu, Hoshigaki Kisame stated the purpose of this trip in a serious manner.
However, Mōryō, who was named by Hoshigaki Kisame, still looked indifferent and asked Kakuzu with a teasing tone.
"What a messy title, it's really ugly! Kakuzu, what do you say? Do we still want to run this time?"
Only when Mōryō turned around did he realize.
Kakuzu, who had been silent before, was now staring at the bounty money box in his hand.
Or maybe it can't be called a money box at this time.
After the explosion, Kakuzu was left with only a handle and a tattered iron sheet.
The bounty inside had all turned to ashes in the explosion.
He slammed the iron sheet on the ground, and stared at the grinning Hozuki Shingetsu in the distance with his red and green eyes.
"Twenty million! Twenty million!! Kirigakure bastards!"
"Next, I will use your heads to make up for my losses!"
