The sudden death of a ninja in war wouldn't be given much importance; it would only deepen the hatred between hidden villages.
Therefore, these bounty hunters are very excited.
But the originally bustling exchange suddenly fell into dead silence due to the arrival of one person.
Kakuzu!
He threw a bag of heads on the counter. "Get the money."
"Yes, yes!" The person in charge of the exchange wiped the sweat from his forehead while comparing the amounts of money in the bounty book.
"Any new listings recently?"
"Yes! Yes!" The person in charge brought out a thick bounty book.
During wartime, the number of tasks at the bounty exchange also experienced an explosive increase.
Various countries and organizations began to publish bounties for important personnel of opposing forces, seemingly out of apprehension.
While waiting, Kakuzu began to browse the bounty book.
"Hmm? A bounty of 30 million ryo? Specializes in Earth Release and Genjutsu, appearance is extremely vague, characteristics are not distinct, and the name is unknown, but suspected to have at least the strength of an elite jonin, and an unknown affiliation."
Kakuzu had been a bounty hunter for so many years, but this was the first time he had seen such vague bounty content.
At the end of the bounty book, there was also a supplement.
"Wanders around the Land of Waterfall, does not belong to any major hidden village, is a powerful and mysterious ninja, and is suspected to have a cooperative relationship with Konoha."
For some reason, Kakuzu suddenly thought of the person he met in the Land of Grass.
They basically matched.
"Heh, anyway, the idiots who issued the bounty don't know who they're issuing the bounty for. As long as the conditions are met, you can just grab anyone and get the job done."
It really is a very broad and seemingly easy bounty to complete.
Tear—
He casually tore off the bounty slip and stuffed it into his chest.
Thirty million ryo, roughly equivalent to a future Asuma, is no small amount.
Chapter 80: Backstab (Seeking Collection, Recommendation, Monthly Tickets)
A few days later.
"Kaze, let's go, mission time." Outside the morgue tent, three figures appeared.
Inside the tent, Kaze, hearing the familiar voice, showed a helpless expression.
He said to Shizune, who was cleaning the tent: "Those three guys are here again. I'm going on a mission, so I'll leave this place to you."
Shizune nodded obediently, "Go with peace of mind, Squad Leader Kaze."
Go with peace of mind...
Lifting the curtain, he saw three people standing outside.
Shikaku Nara, with spiky hair, yawning, and looking listless.
Choza Akimichi, with red, choppy hair, sporting a round belly embroidered with a red "Food" character.
And Inoichi Yamanaka, with a yellow ponytail and a serious expression.
Nara, Akimichi, Yamanaka, the three great clans of Ino-Shika-Cho, and these three in front of him are the future fifteenth generation successors to the "Ino-Shika-Cho" title.
Now they have also gone to the battlefield, and it is the Rain Country battlefield where he is located.
Although they have not yet reached the heights of the future, with their tacit understanding and the cooperation of the three great clans' secret techniques, the combination of the three special jonin may not be weaker than an elite jonin.
Having initially shown their talent, they have already made a name for themselves on the Rain Country battlefield.
"What's the mission this time?"
Perhaps for some reason, Kaze has cooperated with them quite a few times, so they can be considered acquaintances.
Shikaku Nara yawned and threw a scroll over.
Kaze opened it and took a look.
Sure enough, any task that requires his participation is bound to be a cleanup job somewhere; after all, that is the duty of the corpse disposal unit.
This time, the mission location is not in the Rain Country, but in the Land of Fire.
A unit transporting supplies to the front line was ambushed and almost completely wiped out.
The mission of Shikaku Nara and the other two is to retrieve the supplies and find the Sand ninjas who infiltrated the Land of Fire through some unknown channel, and if possible, bring back the stolen supplies at the same time.
At this time, the Rain Country battlefield, after a fierce collision between Konoha, Sand ninjas, and Rain ninjas, has instead fallen into silence, returning to the initial small-scale collisions with each other.
This has entered the tug-of-war phase that Konoha likes most.
It is also a time to test the foundation of each village.
Therefore, inevitably, the rear supply units have become the targets of the other side.
The Sand ninjas will try to infiltrate the Land of Fire to attack supply units, and Danzo will also send Konoha ninjas to infiltrate the Land of Wind, trying to cut off the Sand ninjas' supplies.
Kaze has experienced this kind of situation more than once.
And every time it's with Shikaku Nara and the other two, as if they were being bundled and packaged by Danzo.
Danzo can't stand any idlers in the Konoha camp. Shizune can't be moved, and Kaze, as the leader of the corpse disposal squad, has to be busy.
Rubbing his head, he rummaged through his clothes and took out a cigarette.
But before he could put it in his mouth, it was snatched away.
"You owe me this one from last time."
"Hey Shikaku, do you believe I'll tell your old man about your nasty behavior?" Black lines appeared on Kaze's forehead.
Who knew Shikaku Nara would put the cigarette in his mouth with an indifferent expression, skillfully light it, take a deep breath, and immediately feel much more energetic.
"Go ahead, I know where my old man hides his secret stash of money, he won't do anything to me." Shikaku Nara raised his eyebrows, very calmly.
Kaze: "......"
