He said in a deep voice, "What explanation do you want?"
It's not worth messing with an idiot. If he could make him back down with a small price, Kakuzu would accept it.
But if he insisted on a fight to the death, he wouldn't be afraid either.
What explanation?
Kaze pondered slightly, glanced at Kakuzu, and said, "Haven't thought about it."
Kakuzu: "......"
He really shouldn't have messed with an idiot.
"However, Kakuzu, I have an idea." Kaze spoke again.
"Speak!" Kakuzu was already suppressing his anger.
Kaze didn't care, and said to himself, "Look, you lost a heart, and I lost two puppets. It's two against one, so I'm at a disadvantage, but forget it, I won't argue with you."
Is that how you calculate it?
It's even, so why are you still chasing me?
Kakuzu was speechless.
"However, Kakuzu, you probably wouldn't want the information about your Earth Grudge Fear to appear on the desks of the Kage of the major hidden villages the next day, would you?"
Hearing this, Kakuzu's eyes narrowed.
He didn't care about anything else, but this point that Kaze mentioned was something he couldn't tolerate.
In the ninja world, in ninja battles, especially the battles of ninjas with stronger strength, what is the most important thing?
It's information!
If facing a ninja with unknown abilities, the bizarre special abilities would, to a large extent, account for a very large proportion of the impact on the battle's outcome.
The most typical example is Hidan, the Jashin follower of Akatsuki in the future. Once his abilities are figured out, even Shikamaru could cripple him in a one-on-one fight.
Also, Pain, whose abilities were known, didn't have such a big advantage when fighting Naruto.
And coincidentally, Kakuzu's Earth Grudge Fear is also one of such existences.
"It seems that we're going to fight to the end today." Kakuzu said with a dark face, and the masks on his body, which had been restrained, showed signs of breaking away again.
Kaze's threat meant that he didn't want a friendly ending with him.
"Wait, let me finish speaking."
Seeing that Kakuzu was really going to fight desperately, Kaze stopped his impulse in time and hurriedly continued, "I know the secret of your Earth Grudge Fear, and you also know what I did about the Third Kazekage, as well as some of my fighting methods."
Speaking of this, Kakuzu narrowed his eyes, sensing the Third Kazekage puppet behind him, as well as Pakura's puppet on the left and the puppet disciple on the right.
"The Third Kazekage, Scorch Style Pakura, and the remaining one should be a strong person from Iwagakure, but the appearance has changed, and there's also the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan from Konoha. In that case, you're quite bold, offending Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Konoha at the same time."
Kakuzu reacted.
That's right, he has my weakness in his hands, and I also have secrets of his that cannot be spread out.
No one wants their secrets to be known by others. Once Kakuzu spreads the information about Kaze, it is estimated that the three major hidden villages will launch an encirclement and suppression against him.
It's unlikely during the war, but after the war ends, the other party will either have to shrink back all the time, or be besieged.
"So, this is the reason why you are chasing after me so relentlessly?"
Kaze nodded.
"Do you want to bury these secrets forever? Dead people are indeed the best choice."
Kaze: "......"
Are you being too narrow-minded?
Are ninjas only about fighting and killing? Can't we be a little more peaceful?
"No! Such a result may be that I solve you with heavy losses, or you solve me, but I estimate that you may not be able to survive either. This is not the best choice for either of us."
"What exactly do you want to say? Don't beat around the bush and waste time!" In fact, Kakuzu had vaguely sensed what Kaze was going to say.
Kaze raised a finger, with a smile on his face, "One word, cooperation!"
"That's two words."
Kaze: "......"
"Whatever, don't worry about these details." He forgot that some memes from his previous life are not applicable in this world, and Kakuzu doesn't seem like someone with a sense of humor.
"Cooperation? Tell me about it."
Kakuzu's eyes flickered.
He believes in money above all else, but he doesn't refuse to cooperate with others, but the premise is that this person must have enough strength, at least not be killed by him with a few casual moves.
Otherwise, he feels that he can't help but kill the partner and exchange it for money.
This kind of temptation is something he cannot refuse.
But now it seems that Kaze is not someone who can be easily killed, and has the qualifications to cooperate.
"We are both rogue ninjas, and we may be besieged if we are not careful, but the current outbreak of war is an excellent opportunity for us. Once the war ends, we will not be able to walk openly in the sun of the ninja world."
"Takigakure doesn't have the guts to deal with me, but I estimate that Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Konoha will be very interested in you," Kakuzu said.
"No, you have been reaping bounty heads on a large scale during the war, and you must have offended many hidden villages. Do you think you can stay out of it?"
Kaze waved his hand and continued, "You can't, but if we join forces, we will definitely make them afraid. No one wants to offend two strong people. Moreover, if you don't say it, and I don't say it, no one will know our abilities and purposes. Cooperation benefits both of us."
"Cooperation benefits both of us..." Kakuzu repeated in a low voice.
"You value money, and I value corpses. If we encounter tricky enemies in the future, we can join forces, split the money in half, but the corpses belong to me," Kaze said, stating the details of the cooperation he had conceived.
"Corpses? If the corpses are taken away by you, how can we prove to the underground bounty exchange that we have solved the target?" Kakuzu asked.
"On this point, I believe that with your reputation, Kakuzu, you still have some credibility in the bounty exchange, right?" Kaze said, pondered slightly, "In this way, I'll take a step back, you first exchange the corpses for bounty, and then you take the corpses away, this is not difficult, right?"
Kakuzu is the top brand in the underground bounty exchange, he should still have this much face.
"I get 70% of the bounty, you get 30%, the corpses are yours." Kakuzu said after hesitating for a moment.
