"It seems you recognize me."
Kakuzu turned his head expressionlessly, his green eyes devoid of any emotion.
While Qifeng was somewhat surprised by Kakuzu's behavior, it was only a slight surprise and not beyond expectations.
He slowly pulled down the hood on his head.
Seeing Qifeng's appearance, Kakuzu was first stunned, then a greedy look appeared in his eyes.
"Byakugan!"
A Byakugan not growing on a Hyuga clan ninja, a Byakugan not protected by the Caged Bird Seal.
"Although I don't know who you are, do you know how much money a Byakugan can be exchanged for at the underground bounty exchange?" Kakuzu raised his hand, his fist splitting open from the wrist, and under the entanglement of countless black threads, the fist left his arm, but did not lose its ability to move.
Hearing this, Qifeng chuckled and asked, "How much?"
"Fifty million ryo! And it's priceless! As long as I'm willing, I can even set the price at one hundred million ryo, and someone will still buy it!"
One hundred million ryo?
To be honest, Qifeng was also a little surprised.
Even the Sharingan might not have such a high value, right?
After all, the Sharingan has higher requirements for bloodlines, and randomly transplanting the Sharingan may only increase one's own burden, while the Byakugan does not have such side effects.
Moreover, now it is wartime, and the strategic significance of the Byakugan is even greater.
"You make me tempted."
"Very tempting, isn't it? Blame yourself for revealing something that shouldn't have appeared. I had already given up the idea of attacking you." Kakuzu tugged at his clothes, slowly revealing pieces of skin pieced together like a rag doll.
At the heart of his chest, an animal mask painted with red patterns was tightly bound by black threads, embedded in his chest.
At the same time, on his back, were also embedded four animal masks of different colors, each mask engraved with a different appearance and color.
Earth Grudge Fear!
"What a coincidence." Qifeng smiled.
From the ninja tool bag at his waist, he took out a scroll with the character "Three" written on it, "Originally, I didn't intend to fight you either. After all, you are a person who has lived for so long, but now there is no one else here besides you, so I can only trouble you to help me test something."
As he spoke, his hand shook, the scroll unfolded in a burst of white mist, and at the same time, his other hand formed a hand seal.
Boom!
In a cloud of white smoke, the Third Kazekage puppet was summoned, wearing a brown raincoat, looking unremarkable.
"A puppet?" Kakuzu looked at the Third Kazekage puppet with some surprise.
Qifeng's fingers moved slightly, and several chakra threads extended from his fingertips, sinking into the back of the Third Kazekage puppet.
With the slight movement of his fingers, the chakra threads controlled the puppet, controlling it as easily as an arm. Scorpions's talent for manipulating puppets, the instinct imprinted in his muscles, was undoubtedly inherited by the puppet as well.
The initial experience of controlling a puppet with a puppet was quite good.
"So... Mr. Kakuzu, are you ready?" Qifeng flicked his fingers lightly, and under the control of the chakra threads, a large amount of Iron Sand drilled out from the ground, suspended around the Third Kazekage puppet and Qifeng.
One circle, one circle, one circle...
More and more Iron Sand gathered, forming a black cloud.
This time, Kakuzu's expression finally changed.
Magnet Release! Iron Sand!
Staring at the Third Kazekage puppet with wide eyes, a muffled voice came from under his mask, "Iron Sand, the Third Kazekage's puppet, so the Third Kazekage of the Sand Village died at your hands?!"
Chapter 104: Flame Wind Disturbance
Although the root cause of the Third Shinobi World War was the legacy of the Second Shinobi World War, judging from the timing of the official outbreak of this war, it was because of the disappearance of the Third Kazekage of the Sand Village.
This led to the breaking of the factional balance within the Sand Village, which forced them to resolve internal conflicts with external conflicts.
This caused the Sand Village to declare war on Konoha first; otherwise, there would probably have been a period of friction between the major hidden villages in the ninja world for several years.
At least, there would be a few years of friction between the major hidden villages in the ninja world.
Because Konoha was strong, no one wanted to be the first bird to be shot down.
But the Sand Village's actions undoubtedly brought the war forward by a period of time, and at the same time gave Konoha's opposing hidden villages a very good excuse and opportunity.
Kakuzu, as a bounty hunter with extremely strong strength, knew more or less about these things.
But now, the person who caused the disappearance of the Third Kazekage of the Sand Village actually appeared in front of him, and even made the Third Kazekage into a puppet.
Such a crazy act, and an unexpected result, probably few people in the entire ninja world could have imagined.
Without being polite, the person standing in front of him at this time was the most critical factor in the outbreak of the Third Shinobi World War.
Of course, Kakuzu was only surprised by the result, but that didn't mean he was afraid.
The value of the other party's left eye at the underground bounty exchange was much higher than hunting down several ninjas.
High returns are bound to be accompanied by high risks, which Kakuzu, who deeply understands the survival rules of the ninja world, does not reject at all.
Qifeng gently adjusted his face.
Since he had chosen to continue to maintain Scorpion's identity, then there was nothing to deny about this kind of thing.
"Oh, since you know, then I'm sorry, Mr. Kakuzu, please... go die first!"
Regardless of whether he could win or not, his momentum could not be weakened.
Qifeng shouted, and his fingers moved slightly, and countless Iron Sand gathered.
"Magnet Release! Iron Sand Shower!"
The Third Kazekage puppet opened its mouth, and balls of Iron Sand gushed out of its mouth, instantly creating Iron Sand like waves out of thin air, and then the Iron Sand condensed into countless tiny needles, frantically shooting towards where Kakuzu was standing.
Dud dud dud——
Countless Iron Sand needles struck the dense tree trunks, and the ancient trees of many years were like paper in front of the Iron Sand, easily turned into powder by the dense needles.
Kakuzu was very fast, retreating quickly, avoiding the most violent attack of the Iron Sand.
With a gloomy face, his green eyes swept back and forth, dodging the attack while looking for weaknesses.
