Black tentacles extended from Kakuzu's sleeves, swaying eerily.
"Seeing the headband on your head reminds me of the Konoha ninjas from the very first battle..."
"The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju!"
Uchiha Kagami picked at his ear.
"I just had a fight with Madara Uchiha a few days ago."
"Kid, are you kidding me?!"
Uchiha Kagami couldn't help but laugh: "You were the one who told the joke first, and I wasn't lying to you."
"enough……"
Kakuzu's gaze was chilling.
"Konoha's strongest genius is actually alone... Well then, I'll accept this 90 million ryo!"
Uchiha Kagami grabbed Kakuzu by the neck and pressed him to the ground.
Kakuzu grabbed his forearms with both hands, trying to shake him off, but it was like an ant trying to move a tree.
Scattered around were black, writhing demons, which twitched occasionally.
Three tomoe rotated in his eye sockets.
"Tell me, where is the money you've saved?"
It just so happens that the Uchiha clan doesn't have much cash flow right now.
I can easily run into a big, fat sheep; my luck is pretty good, isn't it?
"Go ahead and kill me if you dare! I'd rather die than tell you!"
"Very good, very principled."
A dangerous glint flashed in Uchiha Kagami's eyes.
"For ninjas, sometimes dying is easy, but surviving is difficult."
"Don't even think about dying before you tell me."
Three black tomoe appeared in his pale green eyes, and the hand that had been gripping Uchiha Kagami fell to his sides.
Uchiha Kagami took a rope from his sleeve and wrapped it around Kakuzu's neck a few times.
As a ninja, it is perfectly reasonable to carry a rope with you.
"Fat... Revolver, keep going."
"Lord Jing, you were just about to call me Fat Cat, weren't you...?"
One end of the rope was tied to the tail of the revolver, and the katatsu bounced and rubbed against the ground on both sides.
The Uchiha mirror remained unmoved.
"No, you heard wrong."
Chapter 55 Red Sand
On the vast desert.
The corners were so worn down that there wasn't a single piece of good skin left; the flesh was covered in grit and blood, and it looked like there wasn't a single piece of healthy flesh.
Uchiha Kagami sighed, revealing an expression of utmost admiration.
"As expected of a ninja who has existed since the First Hokage, your will is truly unbreakable!"
Kakuzu gasped for breath and sneered, "You can kill me, but never touch my money!"
"You think I'll submit to mere illusionary torture?"
Uchiha Kagami nodded solemnly and sighed, "I acknowledge you. A man like you shouldn't die here. You can leave now."
Kakuzu's expression changed slightly, his small, pale green eyes staring intently at Uchiha Kagami.
"Uchiha Kagami, I have to admit, you have the same spirit as the First Hokage."
"Hmph, work on increasing your bounty, I'll come back for you!"
Kakuzu tore off the rope and turned to leave.
He believed that a strongman who could defeat him so easily would not say one thing and do another.
Ha... Uchiha Kagami, you are indeed stronger now, but what about fifty years from now?!
As Kakuzu walked away, Uchiha Kagami took out a bankbook from his pocket.
"The password is six and seven, four twos, plus the ninja character '泷'. Remember it. Go and give it to that old woman and tell her to take the money out quickly."
"Now not only is the final payment for the last batch of ninja tools secured, but the Uchiha clan's expenses for ninja tools for the whole year are also covered."
Zuo Lun took the passbook, feeling a pang of sadness.
He heard it with his own ears as that beady-eyed man stated the amount in the savings account.
Wow, bounty hunters make so much money!
With such a valuable resource package as Kakuzu, how could Uchiha Kagami possibly kill the goose that lays the golden eggs?
When he goes to replace his bankbook and finds he has no money, he will only work harder to earn money to fill the void in his heart.
The next time we encounter this, we can make another killing.
If it were Uchiha Kagami, who had just debuted, dealing with Kakuzu would have been a bit of a problem.
Given his current strength and knowledge of Kakuzu, he was already showing mercy by fighting for three minutes.
However, this guy does have some merits; he was tormented by the illusion for so long before unconsciously revealing the password.
"It's time for my psychic session, so I'm heading back to the Cat Village now. Bye-bye, Master Mirror~"
With a bang, the revolver disappeared.
Uchiha Kagami walked slowly through the desert; this place was not far from the ancient Loulan Kingdom on the map.
However, the map is not accurate enough.
His fingers pressed against the sand, and his chakra perception unfolded.
Without Minato Namikaze's innate sensory talent, he could only compensate for the difference in range with the amount of chakra he possessed.
Close your eyes, and the general situation within a ten-kilometer radius will be imprinted in your mind.
Nothing at all.
The Land of Wind is truly desolate; no wonder it's always at war.
Those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who wear shoes.
This is also why Konoha cherishes peace.
The First Hokage kept saying that everyone is equal, but in the end, the best land in the ninja world all went to the Land of Fire.
Once he dies, it's no wonder the other ninja villages will be unable to contain themselves.
Uchiha Kagami raised an eyebrow, discovering a unique source of chakra.
Unlike ordinary ninjas, he seemed to lack yang energy.
Following the direction of my senses, I flew away and saw a patch of orange-red in the distance in the desert.
As they got closer, the man saw Uchiha Kagami and immediately adopted a defensive stance.
Uchiha Kagami suddenly stopped and stood a few dozen meters in front of the man.
With a slight upturn of his lips, he said with a faint smile, "The ninja world is really small."
"Or do you rogue ninjas prefer to stay in remote places?"
"Uchiha... Kagami!"
Scorpion's expression darkened slightly, and chakra threads extended, ready to summon the Third Kazekage puppet at any moment.
A person's name, the shadow of a tree.
He is indeed an S-rank rogue ninja, but compared to Uchiha Kagami, who can stir up trouble between major powers and influence a large-scale battle, he is still somewhat inferior.
"Weren't you playing a ninja chase game with Sakumo Hatake? What are you doing here?"
Uchiha Kagami wasn't in a hurry to make a move; he was getting tired of fighting all the time these past few days.
Moreover, facing an opponent whose background you know so well, if you were to fight, the battle would end quickly and wouldn't be very interesting.
Scorpion narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "The Land of Wind is my hometown. What's so strange about me appearing here?"
"But shouldn't you be on the border battlefield?"
Uchiha Kagami paused for a moment, analyzed the situation, and then smiled.
"I see."
"You're here to find the ancient kingdom of Loulan, right? Your puppets were all destroyed by Hatake Sakumo, and you're looking for a place to replenish them."
Am I under a spell?
I don't gather information from the outside world with my eyes; I'm a puppet! How could I be under an illusion?
Did I just let something slip?
I didn't leak any information at all!
How could he know!
The puppet of the Third Kazekage floated in the air, Sasori's face was covered in frost.
"Crimson Eyes... Let's see if you deserve that title!"
With a flick of his finger, Uchiha Kagami unleashed an invisible slash that severed the chakra threads binding the Third Kazekage's puppet.
As the puppet landed, Sasori tried to reconnect the threads, but then Uchiha Kagami's voice came through.
"Your core is in the left atrium; if you cut that off, you'll die completely."
Three magatama spun in the scarlet eye sockets.
Uchiha Kagami's voice was cold and indifferent, without a trace of emotion.
"Nothing about you can be hidden from these eyes."
"Don't expect me to show mercy just because Hatake Sakumo didn't kill you."
"Crushing you is too easy for me; it doesn't interest me at all."
Uchiha Kagami instantly appeared beside Sasori of the Red Sand, placing his hand on Sasori's shoulder.
They were clearly already human puppets.
Human emotions have clearly become detached.
The scorpion still felt the deadly chill as its core was firmly gripped by a hand!
The sound came from beside my ear.
"I'm going to the ancient Loulan Kingdom too. Maybe I can throw some puppets that I don't want to you."
"Why don't you keep me company and help me pass the time?"
"Think about it. If you refuse..."
"You have three seconds left to live."
"Following you, I might be able to experience unknown artistry..."
Uchiha Kagami patted Sasori on the shoulder and chuckled.
"You're surprisingly reasonable. Well then, let's get along well, Sasori of the Red Sand."
In the desolate desert, two figures walked one after the other.
The desert winds were fierce, but Scorpion, now a puppet, didn't care.
He carefully observed Uchiha Kagami and discovered that the sand and dust did not touch Uchiha Kagami's body; just before they were about to make contact, they would fall directly to the ground at a ninety-degree angle.
Just to ward off sandstorms... to maintain a chakra shield at all times...?
