Sasame sized up Konan, and seeing her indifferent expression, he couldn't help but smile. How confident she is. But it was understandable. After all, that was the Rinnegan. A power so immense that it transcended the conventional, directly leading Nagato to consider himself a god. At the same time, it indirectly influenced Konan. In her mind, Nagato was truly invincible. The Five Great Villages and the Five Kage were no match for him. He was a being who could destroy Konoha Village alone. At this point, why would she care about mere Wood Release?
"When will you take me to see the organization?" Sasame asked, a slight curve on his lips. He was quite interested in the Gedo Statue. At the same time, he looked forward to meeting Obito Uchiha. Tormenting villains was simply too interesting. After all, Sasame was a champion of justice.
"You should release Kakuzu first." Konan's light orange-yellow eyes stared at him.
"No problem." Sasame met her gaze, but his eyes fell on her lower lip. There was a lip piercing there. If he remembered correctly, Konan wore a tight, backless top under her Akatsuki cloak. And she had a navel ring. Cough, cough. It created quite a contrast with her cold and ruthless persona.
Sasame snapped his fingers. The vines on Kakuzu immediately loosened. Kakuzu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, watching Sasame warily as he walked behind Konan.
"What's your name?" Konan was quite satisfied with Sasame's straightforwardness. Regardless, it was a sign of sincerity.
"Kishi," Sasame said casually.
Konan nodded, showing no reaction. It was the first time she had heard that name. But Kakuzu couldn't help but ask, "What's your relationship with that Kishi from the Sunny Day Merchant Guild?"
Konan subconsciously looked up, a flicker of emotion in her eyes. If she remembered correctly, the Sunny Day Merchant Guild was very wealthy.
"I am him," Sasame said with a smile in his voice. "Just doing some part-time work when I'm free."
"Part-time work?" Kakuzu narrowed his eyes and asked, "To reach the position of Water Country's head of the Sunny Day Merchant Guild, it shouldn't be that simple, should it?" The Sunny Day Merchant Guild currently involved many countries. Each country had a head. But the Water Country was undoubtedly the Sunny Day Merchant Guild's largest partner and territory.
Konan began to secretly calculate. Could she earn more money through Sasame?
"Just lucky," Sasame chuckled softly. "Don't your organizations allow members to take on side jobs?"
Kakuzu immediately fell silent. When it came to taking on jobs, he was probably the most prolific, constantly frequenting the black market.
"Of course, we allow it," Konan interjected. "Kishi, with your ability to earn money, you are exactly what our organization needs."
Kakuzu pouted. What's this? You've got a new favorite and forgotten the old one? I earned so much money for you, and in a blink of an eye, you're fawning over someone else? Kakuzu remained silent. Mainly, he was worried Sasame would turn hostile. Then he'd be tied up again.
Mei Terumi wanted to speak but held back. That's all my money! Why is there another beggar... oh no, another robber?
"Our organization is short on money?" Sasame followed her words and asked.
"Any organization needs money to develop, don't they?" Konan didn't directly answer, but gave a versatile reply.
"Indeed." Sasame didn't ask further.
"I am not the leader of the organization," Konan returned to the main topic. "I need to report your joining the organization to the leader, so please go to the black market in the Land of Fire's capital within this week. Someone will meet you there."
"No problem," Sasame nodded. "I'll be there on time." Konan didn't tell him to go directly to Amegakure, which meant she still had reservations. That was normal. After all, he had already openly declared himself an undercover agent.
"Until next time." Konan glanced at him, then turned and walked away. Kakuzu quickly followed.
The two returned to the courtyard.
"Is Hidan really dead?" Konan looked at the scattered battle marks, unable to discern Hidan's whereabouts.
"He's turned to dust," Kakuzu replied in a deep voice. There was no sadness on his face due to Hidan's death. Only a slight regret. If his head had been left, perhaps it could have been exchanged for money in the black market.
"You saw it with your own eyes?" Konan's eyes constantly scanned the vicinity. "Where's his ring?"
Kakuzu paused slightly, then recalled, "It was also crushed."
"Oh?" Konan immediately frowned. The Akatsuki rings were not ordinary items.
"Kishi used a black staff," Kakuzu roughly described its performance. Konan's first thought was the Rinnegan's black rods, but the effect was completely different. Perhaps it was some special ninja tool of Kishi's. There were many such ninja tools in the ninja world. The most famous were the Six Paths Sage Tools. Konan didn't think too much about it and said, "Let's go back and report."
Kakuzu nodded and asked again, "Do you really want him to join the Akatsuki?" He was still shaken by today's battle.
"God will not fear anyone," Konan glanced at him and said calmly. Kakuzu thought of the Rinnegan and said nothing more. That thing was indeed powerful. Plus, he had essentially gotten his life back. Whether Kishi joined or not had little to do with him. On the contrary, he thought it would be good to have such a powerful teammate.
At the same time. Mei Terumi asked, "Are you really letting them go?"
"This organization clearly has more than just three people," Sasame explained. "Killing them now means completely offending them, and it will be difficult to figure out their situation later. Anyway, they don't know my true identity, so playing along with them is fine."
Mei Terumi was silent for a moment, then nodded. "This organization is indeed terrifying," she said with emotion. "Just three people almost took the Three-Tails." If Sasame hadn't arrived today, she didn't know what heavy price the Hidden Mist Village would have paid. Mei Terumi secretly sighed. Although Sasame's motives were not pure, he had indeed helped the Hidden Mist Village multiple times. Weakness was the original sin.
"Mizukage-sama!" Ao's figure appeared. He said, "The Fourth Mizukage is fine. I left Zabuza to protect him. I came to inform you."
"Hm," Mei Terumi ordered, "Ao, return to the Hidden Mist Village and notify the Anbu to clear the battlefield."
"Yes!" Ao curiously glanced at Sasame but didn't ask anything, then turned and left.
"Thank you for your help today," Mei Terumi turned and said.
"And then?" Sasame took off his mask and asked with a smile, "Just one sentence?"
Mei Terumi was momentarily stunned. Noticing his gaze, her face flushed slightly. She gritted her teeth and said, "Didn't you say last time that you wanted me to be your maid for seven days? I can fulfill that now." After speaking, she lowered her head, even her ears were red. For her, this sentence was too shameful.
"That was compensation for last time," Sasame didn't intend to let her off. "You can't use that to fool me this time."
"You... what do you want?" Mei Terumi raised her head again, her blush undiminished, and a hint of panic in her eyes.
"Hmm, let's put it aside for now," Sasame wanted to say something excessive, but was afraid she couldn't accept it. After all, she was essentially a traditional ninja.
"Maid... when?" Mei Terumi felt even more uneasy.
"In a couple of days," Sasame said thoughtfully. "You probably don't have time today either."
"Okay." Mei Terumi looked away, feeling very embarrassed.
"Call me if anything happens," Sasame smiled and left directly. Mei Terumi's tense body immediately relaxed. She leaned against the wall, her lipstick bitten off. She couldn't imagine what the situation would be like in two days. But it would definitely be very bad. For some reason, Mei Terumi even felt a faint sense of anticipation.
"I must be crazy, right?" She patted her hot, red cheeks and whispered.
[Due to your actions, the destinies of Konan, Kakuzu, Hidan, Zabuza Momochi, Haku, Ao, Asuma Sarutobi, and Mei Terumi have changed. You have gained a total of four hundred and sixty Destiny Points.]
After Sasame returned to the Hokage's office, the prompt from the Destiny Sacred Ring kept ringing. Hidan contributed the most, because he was already dead. In fact, keeping him alive would have been more cost-effective for continuous Destiny Point output. But Sasame didn't particularly like him. Plus, he wanted to try out the Ruyi given by Ōtsutsuki Kaguya. Hence, the current situation. However, one less leek was not a big problem. Although Sasame indirectly saved Asuma Sarutobi, it didn't matter. The life-saving grace would be repaid by Kurenai Yuhi.
Cough, cough.
A knock on the door. Sasame looked up. Speaking of Kurenai Yuhi, she arrived. She wore a black sheer, form-fitting skirt suit and high heels, clacking her way to the Hokage's desk.
"Sasame," Kurenai Yuhi smiled.
"Sister Kurenai, is something wrong?" Sasame sat in the Hokage's chair, looking up at her. From the upward angle, the view was quite good. Those two dumplings trembled slightly.
"Are you free to come to my house for dinner?" Kurenai Yuhi explained, "My mother wants to thank you." After Sasame implemented the remuneration system, she only needed to be a secretary in Konoha Village. It was both safe and lucrative. She was very grateful to Sasame, and so was her mother. After all, her daughter didn't have to go out on dangerous missions. For an ordinary mother, it was undoubtedly reassuring. Especially since Kurenai Yuhi's father, Shinku Yuhi, had already passed away.
"When?" Sasame nodded and asked.
"Tomorrow night, perhaps," Kurenai Yuhi thought for a few seconds. "I wonder if you're free?"
"No problem," Sasame readily agreed.
"Thank you," Kurenai Yuhi's smile became even brighter, her red eyes sparkling like gems.
"You're inviting me to dinner, I should be the one saying thank you," Sasame chuckled, trying to lighten the mood. "You're making me look like a Hokage who's coercing his subordinates."
Kurenai Yuhi paused slightly, blinked, and asked, "Have you ever thought about it?"
"..." Sasame cleared his throat. "Sister Kurenai, don't joke. I'm not that kind of person."
Kurenai Yuhi saw his somewhat embarrassed expression and couldn't help but smile. Although he was the famous Hokage, in terms of age, he was still a child. He couldn't even handle such casual remarks. Kurenai Yuhi put down the documents and said, "These are the matters you need to review today."
"Okay," Sasame casually opened them. "You go ahead and get busy." Kurenai Yuhi nodded, turned, and left. Her round, perky buttocks and long legs, perfectly outlined by the stockings, were immediately displayed. Sasame watched her close the door before retracting his gaze. He closed the documents again, planning to review them later. Because he remembered someone.
Yugito Nii. She had been electrocuted for a few days; she should still be alive, right? Sasame stroked his chin. If she had died, the Destiny Sacred Ring would have given a notification. Plus, with Matatabi, it wasn't that easy to die.
Flying Thunder God Technique activated. Sasame appeared in Yugito Nii's room.
"Bastard...!" He immediately heard an angry voice. However, it sounded somewhat weaker compared to before.
"Tsk." Sasame looked at her pale face but didn't step forward. "How pathetic." Yugito Nii stared at him, as if she wanted to devour him.
"There's a foul smell everywhere," Sasame said with ill intent. "If the Fourth Raikage saw this, I wonder what he would think?"
"No! Don't!" Yugito Nii immediately recoiled in horror, shouting, "I'd rather die!" The more arrogant a person, the more they cared about dignity and face. How to put it? She wasn't afraid of physical death, but social death was what she feared most. Yugito Nii couldn't even imagine that scene. She would definitely break down. But she wanted to die and couldn't.
"I really thought you weren't afraid of anything," Sasame said, looking at her distraught appearance with a smile. "This isn't a solution either. How about I give you a suggestion?"
"What...?" Yugito Nii was like a startled kitten, no longer showing her previous ferocity. Mainly, she was truly afraid that Sasame would call the Fourth Raikage over.
"If I were you, I would pretend to be obedient and let me gradually lower my guard," Sasame sat on the sofa, offering her an escape plan. "Maybe one day you'll charm me, and I'll undo your seal."
"..." Yugito Nii was speechless.
"Think about it, if you're always locked up by me, electrocuted all day, will you still have a chance?" Sasame could guess what she was thinking, so he added, "Unless you like this kind of life."
"Who likes that?!" Yugito Nii couldn't help but get angry.
Sasame's eyes narrowed slightly. Her body immediately trembled, and her furious expression turned docile. Yugito Nii was silent for a long time, then asked, "What exactly do you want me to do?"
"Didn't I tell you before?" Sasame raised an eyebrow. "To punish your insolence."
"Isn't this enough?" Yugito Nii gritted her teeth. "If it's not enough, just kill me."
"It's not that simple," Sasame leaned back on the sofa. "What do you think of my previous suggestion?"
"Not good," Yugito Nii gradually calmed down. "Since you've already said it, it seems like there's a chance, but in reality, there's no chance at all."
"You forgot Matatabi," Sasame reminded her. "With Matatabi, it means you only need a tiny chance to escape." Yugito Nii froze, falling into contemplation. She was currently under a seal, unable to manipulate chakra, thus losing her ability to resist. But sealing jutsu wasn't omnipotent. She still had Matatabi inside her. The power of a Tailed Beast was unquestionable. As long as Matatabi could break through the seal, even a little, it would be enough to leak a huge amount of chakra, helping her escape.
Yugito Nii looked up at Sasame. His face showed not the slightest concern. He seemed to exude absolute confidence. This kind of demeanor was something Yugito Nii used to possess. She believed she was a perfect Jinchūriki, with nothing to fear. But reality had dealt her a heavy blow.
"Matatabi," Yugito Nii's consciousness entered the sealed space. "Do you have a way to break the seal?"
"Give me time, and I should be able to," Matatabi thought for a moment. "The sealing jutsu on you is indeed exquisite, but if it undergoes long-term chakra impact, problems will inevitably arise." The Tailed Beast's method was just that simple and unpretentious. Of course, there was nothing wrong with it. In the original work, Kurama did indeed leak chakra using this method.
Yugito Nii returned to reality. She took a deep breath and asked, "I agree to your terms. Can you let me out? Or will I have to stay in this room forever?"
"Of course, you'll be allowed to go out," Sasame shrugged. "As long as you have the ability, even if you run back to Kumogakure, I won't say anything."
"Good!" Yugito Nii's eyes were more serious than ever, and her face showed a determined expression. "Whatever your command, I will obey." In a situation where she couldn't die, what Sasame said was undoubtedly the only way out. Unless she really wanted to meet the Fourth Raikage in this terrible state. She didn't dare. Even if Sasame humiliated her, she wanted to maintain her last shred of dignity in Kumogakure.
"A wise person submits to circumstances," Sasame nodded in satisfaction. "What I want you to do isn't difficult; it's just being a cat for a few days."
"A cat?" Yugito Nii was puzzled. Because of Matatabi, she actually liked cats very much. But she didn't understand what Sasame meant by "being a cat." Did he want her to meow every day?
Just then, Sasame took out a set of clothes. Cat ears, a cat collar, a cat tail, and a cat leash, etc.
"???" Yugito Nii was furious. "You pervert, this is impossible!"
"Then I'll send you to Kumogakure," Sasame leisurely stood up. "They must miss you very much."
"..." Yugito Nii trembled all over, exuding a strong murderous aura, like a protective kitten. But facing her "owner," she ultimately didn't dare to strike. Under Sasame's gaze, she picked up the clothes and said, "I want to take a bath." In this room, she was electrocuted every day but never cleaned, making her more miserable than a stray cat. The smell on her body was very strong. Therefore, Sasame didn't touch her. At the same time, she was afraid to see the Kumogakure ninja for this very reason.
"Follow me," Sasame opened the door and said. Yugito Nii left the room, appearing timid and hesitant. Afraid of being seen. If that happened, she would surely be mortified. Fortunately, there was no one around. Because this was a courtyard specifically given to Sasame by Konoha's Head of Intelligence, Honoka Uzumaki. No one would disturb them.
Sasame walked into another room and said, "Bathroom."
