88 Why would I risk my life for such a small amount of money?

"Who are you?" the middle-aged jonin asked sternly.

Kakuzu was silent. He thought that the other party seemed to be a jonin, so he should be worth some money.

The jonin of each country have a bounty list on the black market.

"It seems that you don't plan to communicate properly."

The middle-aged jonin instructed his subordinates around him: "Be sure to protect those two people..."

The voice was still lingering in his ears.

Suddenly, he saw a gray shadow approaching, swinging his arms and fists, and the green eyes seemed to say: You should worry about yourself.

The middle-aged jonin pulled out the kunai in time and was shaking his hands and slashing.

  "Ka."

A sound of metal collision burst out in the air.

The middle-aged jonin's wide eyes reflected the scene of the kunai being caught with bare hands.

"How is this possible..."

Just as he was surprised. Sometimes unexpected happened.

In a flash, a streak of white light passed through the air.

There was no time to harden, and Kakuzu pulled away in time,

He looked at the kid who had just attacked .

The reaction speed just now was not something that an ordinary ninja should have.

Haru stared at the enemy in front of him and analyzed: "It seems that this guy has the ability to be invulnerable to Kunai and physical attacks."

Haru turned to the guardian ninja "Why don't you come over to help?"

After a simple fight, Haru had a hunch that the enemy in front of him was not an easy target, and he had to gather everyone's strength to be safe.

"No, if I leave, there will be no one to protect the two adults in carriage." The guardian ninja was hesitant and didn't want to leave.

Haru was dissatisfied..

He encountered a god-like opponent and a pig-like teammate.

If possible, Haru really wanted to kill these two employers.

On the one hand, Haru felt that the employer he was protecting was in the way, and on the other hand, he was unhappy with the two people's bossy attitude during the journey.

He was just here to work, not to sell himself.

Thinking of this, Haru exhaled lightly and rushed forward with Jonin.

Because of the people around him, he couldn't open the Sharingan.

"You two should hide aside." Haru kindly advised the two Genin companions beside him.

In this level of battle, it would be good if they don't get in the way.

Jonin punched Kakuzu and Haru swung his Kunai.

Kakuzu raised his arm to block the Jonin and kicked him.

He felt a sharp pain on his other arm but he didn't take it seriously. Then he looked at Haru and punched him.

After being punched in the stomach, Haru lost his position and flew away. He used the sword on his back to pierce the ground to stabilize his body.  

Looking up at the enemy in front of him, Haru cursed himself for having bad luck in recent years.

He was considered very strong at his age, but the opponents he met were stronger than him.

Haru estimated that this time his opponent might be at the level of Kage...

When did Kage-level strength become so common?

Kakuzu raised his arm and pulled up his sleeves.

Seeing the cracked wound on his arm, he frowned. His body had hardened just now, but his skin was still cracked.

Thinking of this, Kakuzu became alert of Haru.

The middle-aged jonin came up to him and suggested, "Let's go together."

"This guy is very powerful." Haru looked solemn and wanted to back out: "By the way, can I give up the mission now?"

The middle-aged jonin's eyes were stunned, and his eyes seemed to say: Are you kidding?

In fact, I'm not kidding... Haru showed a very reluctant expression on his face: "Okay, okay..."

Let's fight again. If he can't beat him, Haru will run away.

Others will regard the mission as more important than their lives, but in Haru's eyes, the mission is not as important as his own life.

The money given for a mission is not as much as the money he will get from robbing the rich and helping the poor. Why would he risk his life?

"You cover me..." After saying this, the middle-aged jonin lowered his center of gravity and rushed out.

The weapons collided and the sound continued. The two held kunai's and slashed at each other.

Haru formed hand seals.

Fire Style : great fireball technique.

With a loud rumble, the fireball exploded and white smoke rose as he focused on the target.

"Did it kill him?"

The two genin thought.

"Don't be careless and retreat to carriage."

Jonin reminded them that the opponent had a ninjutsu that hardened himself.

In theory, Hary should use lightning release to attack him, but unfortunately he was not good at it, so he could only use the more powerful fire release that he mastered to attack.

Kakuzu came out of smoke without injury, the hardened Kakuzu was not affected at all.

Kakuzu put all his strength into his right foot, kicked hard, and the whole person was thrown out like a cannonball, swinging the kunai to stab.

The middle-aged jonin retreated his body and barely avoided the attack.

"Humph."

Kakuzu laughed, and his broken wrist flew out, extending the attack range of the kunai.

Everyone present, including Hary, was caught off guard.

When they reacted, the middle-aged jonin had been pierced through the throat by the kunai and vomited blood.

The throat is a very vulnerable part. With such a serious and fatal injury, even a jonin would die immediately and lie on the ground, deader than dead.

Kakuzu can even defeat Kakshi in future in few moves and this middle aged Jonin is nowhere near the level of Kakshi.

Haru scalp was numb. What happened just now?

"Then the game is over..." Kakuzu took off his clothes, revealing his naked upper body.

There were obvious sewing marks on his body, which made people shudder.

He made seals with his hands, and the lines on his body began to twist like a living thing.

His body swelled and finally split, and several black monsters spewed out of his body, which made people's hair stand on end.

It's not surprising to say that this person is a stitched monster.

Haru's mouth twitched slightly. He now realized what kind of person they had encountered.

Kakuzu, who values money as his life in the future Akatsuki organization.

Kakuzu deliberately showed weakness in the beginning, in order to make the opponent's jonin careless so that he could kill him with one blow.

Judging from the result, the effect was good.

Now that there was one less Jonin on the other side, Kakuzu naturally had no worries.

With a wave of his hand, several masked monsters created by the Earth Grudge Fear rushed towards the Genin, servants, and guardian ninja.

Kakuzu himself planned to have some fun with this kid, and chased Haru and attacked him like crazy.

At this time, Haru didn't dare to hold back anymore, and directly opened his Sharingan. Holding back would cost him his life.

Kakuzu, who was fighting with Haru, was a little confused, thinking that this kid seemed to be much more agile than before, until he saw Harusy blood-red eyes, and was slightly startled, and then he reacted.

"Interesting, so youare from the Uchiha family" Even after the whole fight, Kakuzu seemed to be at ease:

Haru exhaled a breath of turbid air, looked around, and found that his companions and the accompanying guards were all dead, leaving only two trembling and useless employers.

The two hugged Haru, their only hope, and begged him: "Please, please save me."

Kakuzu looked at Haru with interest: "So what are you going to do next?"

Haru shouted: "Do I need to say it!"

"Really..."

Kakuzu narrowed his eyes slightly, not surprised by this answer, after all, Konoha's ninjas are notoriously stubborn and stubborn.

"I surrender!"

Kakuzu: ...

What can I do? I can't beat him.

In the original work, Kakuzu could beat Kakashi violently in a one-on-one fight.

Haru is only thirteen years old, and it is amazing that he can hold on until now.

It's not that Haru is weak, but that the opponent is too strong.

This answer was far beyond Kakuzu's expectations, and he looked at the boy in front of him strangely.

In his impression, the Uchiha clan is quite arrogant in their bones, and would rather die than surrender.

Of course, they do have the capital to be arrogant.

The two employers were startled: "Eh? What are you doing! Aren't you a ninja hired by us? How can you be like this!!"

Haru had reason to shout: "Nonsense, why would I risk my life for such a small amount of money?"
