Chapter 130: Killing for Treasure

Another window opened.

Haruki turned his head and saw Kakuzu poking his head out.

The reason he had lived so long was his calmness and caution.

With his strength, he could naturally sense that there was a ninja outside.

But when he saw Haruki, after a brief silence, he closed the window again.

Haruki raised his eyebrows but said nothing.

Just as he was about to go back to sleep, he suddenly noticed a ninja running towards this inn.

He cast a [Genjutsu].

A moment later, the kunoichi stood before him.

She was about twenty years old. Not extremely beautiful, but still quite good - looking.

She wasn't wearing a special ninja uniform, so it was hard to tell which ninja village she came from.

It was deep in the night.

The streets were deserted.

She scanned the inn, leaped up, and reached the second floor.

She knocked on the window, and a rather handsome young man opened it.

Seeing her, he immediately showed a look of joy.

The two hugged each other.

The window was closed, and Haruki didn't look anymore.

After all, he wasn't like Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had a strong desire to peep.

Haruki quietly got into bed, lay beside Tsunade, then turned around and hugged her soft and plump body, falling into a deep sleep.

The next day.

Haruki opened his eyes. After lying in Tsunade's arms for a while, he got up and opened the door of the room.

The inn was very quiet in the morning.

He walked along the corridor, planning to go downstairs to find the boss or the waiter and order some breakfast.

"Haruki."

Kakuzu opened his door and called out to him.

"Hey, is the sun rising from the west today? You actually greeted me?"

Haruki pretended to be surprised and joked.

A black line appeared on Kakuzu's forehead. He really couldn't understand Haruki's personality, which was sometimes good and sometimes bad.

He glanced at the room on the other side, where the kunoichi and the young man had been last night.

And Kakuzu's next words really surprised him.

"That kunoichi has died."

"Dead?"

Haruki subconsciously looked at the same room as Kakuzu and asked, "Why did she die?"

"Maybe it was the young man who did it."

Kakuzu pondered for a moment and said, "I usually stay very vigilant when sleeping. Just two hours ago, I heard a noise and went to check it out."

"Strange, you don't seem like a person who meddles in other people's business."

Haruki was a bit surprised by the kunoichi's death, but he didn't intend to dig deeper.

After all, it had nothing to do with him.

Normally, Kakuzu should have thought the same way.

"She had a familiar smell on her, probably the smell of [Hero Water]."

Kakuzu hesitated for a moment but still said.

With Haruki's extraordinary strength, he didn't need the [Hero Water].

Similarly, it was not easy to deceive him.

"Oh, it's a treasure from the [Taki Hidden Village] that can increase a ninja's [Chakra]."

Haruki immediately recalled the knowledge in his mind.

It should be said that [Hero Water] was quite well - known among ninjas.

But the [Taki Hidden Village] was not weak and had a [Jinchuriki]. Ordinary ninjas wouldn't have the thought of snatching it.

And extraordinary ninjas didn't need it at all.

Although it's said to increase [Chakra], the specific amount depends on a person's constitution.

But Haruki became interested when he thought of Kakashi.

He directly pushed open the room door.

There was no one inside, only the body of a Kunoichi.

Haruki could tell at a glance that she had died of poison.

The look of shock on her face hadn't even faded away.

"Looks like it's [Killing for Treasure]."

Kakuzu gave a cold laugh, not at all surprised.

He had seen too many such things.

Not to mention couples, even brothers and father - son could turn against each other.

The world is bustling, and only money is eternal.

Haruki sighed.

A ball of flame burned the Kunoichi's body.

Immediately afterwards, his [Sensor] ability spread.

There are many tracking Ninjutsu in the Hokage world, but at his level, the range of his [Sensor] was extremely wide.

A moment later, he grabbed Kakuzu, and with a flash of space, they appeared on a main road.

That young man was actually running away on horseback.

"He's not a Ninja. Should I say he has very little Chakra, not enough to become a Ninja."

Haruki quickly noticed the young man's physical condition.

"Perhaps that's why he befriended a Ninja from the Taki Hidden Village. After hearing about the [Hero Water], he coaxed her to steal it and then killed her to take it. Tsk, Kakuzu, go ahead and do it."

Haruki glanced at Kakuzu. He disdained to deal with such a person himself.

"…"

Kakuzu landed on the ground.

After experiencing the [Flying Thunder God Technique], he had no more thoughts of running away.

He might be able to get the heart of a space - time Ninja.

But such hearts were extremely rare, and he had hardly ever encountered one.

"Who are you?"

The young man noticed Kakuzu in front of him, and his heart skipped a beat.

Mainly because Kakuzu's outfit made him look like a villain.

If it were Haruki, he definitely wouldn't look like that.

Kakuzu was too lazy to talk. He hardened his right arm and directly punched the young man in the head, blowing it off.

He rummaged through the young man's body and found a bottle of pure white water.

He opened it and sniffed. The familiar smell made him nod.

"Market price, one million."

Kakuzu looked at Haruki who was walking over. "If you want it."

"You're really good at doing business."

Haruki couldn't help but smile. He stroked his chin and asked, "Anyway, you can't beat me. Why can't I just get it for free?"

Kakuzu's heart skipped a beat and he said, "Let me ask first, and then we'll discuss it."

Haruki finally understood Kakuzu's personality.

Sure enough, it was the charm of money.

He said nothing and paid the money.

Oh!

Kakuzu was quite surprised. He had already mentally prepared himself, but he didn't expect Haruki to actually pay.

It seemed that this guy wasn't so bad after all.

But then he shook his head. His caution told him that he mustn't be deceived by the sugar - coated bullets. He wanted to make money freely.

It was a pity that he didn't understand how difficult it was to earn money with dignity in this world.

After Haruki obtained the [Hero Water], he returned to the inn and summoned Kakashi.

"Drink it."

He had already checked and was sure there was no poison.

As for how effective it would be in increasing Chakra, it depends on Kakashi's fortune.

Kakashi held the so - called [Hero Water], a no - brand product, hesitated for a moment, glanced at Haruki, and then gulped it down in big mouthfuls.

A few seconds later, he opened his eyes wide.

The Chakra in his body burned like dry firewood and quickly swept through.

Haruki stretched out his hands, which were glowing a faint green, and placed them on Kakashi's chest.

He nodded slightly. There was still an effect.

At least it had increased sevenfold.

Now, Kakashi was a qualified and normal Genin, only a little short of reaching the Chunin level.

It could only be said that his Chakra Reserves Amount was insufficient.

"Thanks, Teacher!"

Feeling the expansion of his body's capacity, Kakashi couldn't help asking, "Is there any more?"

Haruki gave him a pat on the head.

"You can have everything in your dreams."

After the six of them finished breakfast and were about to leave the inn and continue their journey, the storyteller they had seen yesterday suddenly approached them.

"Greetings, sirs. May I ask if you are Ninjas?"

"Yes."

Haruki sized up the storyteller.

He was in his early forties, with a thin amount of hair and a hint of a bald - patch on the top of his head.

"Great!"

The storyteller looked extremely excited. "I'd like to pay you to escort me to the Metropolis."
