Madara Uchiha saw that he had stepped into the Forest of Death and was about to stop. As it turned out, Kakuzu's figure flashed past.
The corner of his mouth turned up as he looked at Madara Uchiha and said with a cold laugh, "Ryun, you are unworthy of being the successor of the God of Shinobi and the Shinobi World's Rampaging Bull. Is this really your intelligence?"
"If you were in a crowd, I really would have had no way, because assassins have their own professional ethics and concerns!" Kakuzu muttered to himself.
"But you chose the path to heaven when there was no road, and came to the gate of hell yourself without an invitation. Give up resisting. I, Kakuzu, will give you a quick death!" Kakuzu said with a cold laugh.
Madara Uchiha formed hand signs. Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique! Kakuzu laughed coldly; it was just a mere Great Fireball. He easily jumped to avoid this move, then released Earth Grudge Fear. Black threads shot towards Madara Uchiha, piercing his heart with one strike.
Madara Uchiha knelt on the ground, losing all signs of life.
Kakuzu laughed coldly. "Is that all?" Just as he cut off Madara Uchiha's head and planned to go back to collect the reward.
Madara Uchiha appeared behind him again and even patted his shoulder. Kakuzu instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He understood that he was currently in an illusion cast by this 'Ryun' before him!
When did it happen? He actually hadn't noticed!
Outside the illusion
Madara Uchiha looked at Izuna Uchiha and inquired, "Is it done?"
Izuna Uchiha's Mangekyō reverted to three tomoe. He smiled and said, "It's done!"
Madara Uchiha walked up to Kakuzu and punched him in the abdomen. The intense pain woke him up, and his consciousness returned to his body. He wanted to get up and resist, but found he couldn't use any strength at all.
Madara Uchiha smiled and said, "Don't waste your energy. I used a huge amount of chakra to disperse the chakra belonging to you inside your body. For at least half a day, you won't be able to move at all."
After saying this, he tied him up and pulled out a small communicator. Madara Uchiha looked at the small iron box-like thing in his hand and sighed. He muttered, "This thing is quite convenient." Then he made a call to Ryun.
Ring ring ring
Ryun was accompanying Tsunade eating skewers when his communicator rang. He took it out to look. Good gracious, it was Grandpa.
Tsunade looked at Ryun. Ryun smiled and said, "It's Uncle Ta, Uncle Shima, and the others."
Tsunade nodded, then continued eating skewers and drinking the newly launched beer. It wasn't intoxicating, had some fizz, and was rather tasty.
"Hello, Uncle Ta, what's the matter? I'm eating skewers with Tsunade!" Ryun said with a smile, putting it on speakerphone.
Madara Uchiha rolled his eyes. "Forest of Death. There's a bounty hunter named Kakuzu who mistook me for you. He's tied up by me now. Do you want to come over, or should I deliver him to you?"
Ryun's mouth fell open. What did he hear? Kakuzu? Mistook Grandpa Madara for him and took action? He couldn't help but be stunned. Seriously, buddy, you're really brave!
"Hello? Hello? Is the signal lost?" Grandpa Madara didn't hear a sound and suspected the forest signal was bad.
Ryun came back to his senses and said, "No, I'm just a bit surprised. Where exactly are you? I'll come over."
"We are at..." After saying the location, Madara Uchiha hung up.
Tsunade, who was listening nearby, frowned. "Let's go, I'll go with you!"
Ryun nodded. The two looked at the skewers on the table that were still warm and asked the shopkeeper for an insulated box. They packed the skewers that hadn't been touched yet, and Ryun stored them in a scroll.
The two rushed towards the Forest of Death.
Kakuzu was tied to a tree, crestfallen. Damn it, how is this guy so strong! His chakra volume is so huge! One punch expelled his own chakra from his body.
Right now, he was so weak that even a child could kill him!
He looked at Madara Uchiha doubtfully and said, "You're not Ryun? Impossible! You look so much alike! Could it be that you are his father?"
Madara Uchiha's eyes widened. If he was Ryun's father, did that mean he was Izuna's son?
Izuna kicked Kakuzu in the abdomen, then looked at Madara Uchiha. "Big brother, you must not believe his nonsense. We are brothers!"
Madara Uchiha smiled and said, "Naturally."
Kakuzu cried out in pain. How could a random kick from that kid also have the strength of a jōnin level?
Damn it! Is today just unlucky?
Soon, Ryun brought Tsunade to the scene. Seeing his grandson and future granddaughter-in-law had arrived, Madara Uchiha smiled slightly. "Ryun, you're here. Then, your second uncle and I will leave!"
Izuna nodded. "Yes, Ryun. It's late, and a girl is out on a mission with you. You must not let her down! Otherwise, your uncle and I will beat you to death!"
Ryun scratched his head, then took out an insulated box from the scroll. "Uncle, Second Uncle, these are the meat skewers and grilled fish that Tsunade specially ordered for you. You've worked hard!" Izuna Uchiha's eyes lit up.
Tsunade was a bit embarrassed. These were just skewers they didn't have time to eat. How did it become something she specially ordered in Ryun's words?
"I hope you like them!" Tsunade said shyly.
"We like them, we like them!" Izuna took the box of skewers. Madara Uchiha smiled and said, "Thank you both."
Ryun waved his hand. "It's the least we could do."
Then Madara Uchiha and Izuna Uchiha left the forest holding the box. Ryun's expression changed as he looked at Kakuzu.
"What do you want to do! I, I am the Kage-level strong one, Kakuzu! Don't you do anything reckless!" Kakuzu's face changed, and he gritted his teeth.
"I heard you are very brave?" Ryun looked at Kakuzu, the corner of his mouth turning up. He threw a punch, knocking down a large tree.
Because the movement was quite loud, it alerted the nearby patrolling members of the police corps. They quickly assembled and came to the scene. Seeing Ryun and Tsunade, they knelt and saluted.
Ryun was happy to see who had come. Hiashi Hyūga's brother, he wore a police department hat and a police uniform. He knelt on the ground and said, "I pay my respects to the Department Chief!"
Ryun sensed the chakra within him and nodded. To reach jōnin level at such a young age, one level higher than that little guy Hiashi Hyūga!
"Hiashi Hyūga's brother, this person is a black market bounty hunter. Now that I have captured him, take him back to the department. I will personally interrogate him tomorrow." After saying this, Ryun formed hand signs. Four Symbols Seal, Eight Trigrams Seal, and Five Elements Seal were all applied, completely sealing him and making it impossible to extract chakra.
Hiashi Hyūga's brother looked at Kakuzu with pity, thinking, 'Why did you have to provoke him? Isn't this looking for death, like lighting a lamp in the toilet?'
"I obey!" Hiashi Hyūga's brother personally carried Kakuzu on his shoulder and quickly ran towards the department, feeling happy. Wasn't this transport also a kind of performance merit?
Striding with progressive steps, Hiashi Hyūga's brother carried a man towards the police department under the astonished eyes of everyone.
Ryun held Tsunade's small hand and said with a smile, "You see, I told you those two have a good impression of you."
Tsunade nodded. The two returned to the night market to continue shopping. After all, because of this incident, neither of them had eaten well.
It was just the right time to try something else!
