Kakuzu, excited beyond words, hurriedly stuffed the other heart into his chest.
What shocked him was that not only did he gain the ability to control all the metals within a radius of ten miles, but his previous chakra attributes also remained intact!
Originally, he was worried that after replacing his heart with a metallic one, he might lose his existing five chakra natures. Yet unexpectedly, not only did those chakra attributes not disappear, he actually awakened a brand-new ability—the power to manipulate metal.
Just imagine—in battle, when an opponent throws a shuriken at you, Kakuzu could suddenly control it, making the weapon float in mid-air. Then, under his opponent's stunned gaze, the shuriken would abruptly change direction and shoot straight back at them.
Just the thought of it felt incredibly cool!
After all, a person's entire life is about showing their value in front of others!
He had always particularly enjoyed seeing the look of sheer terror on an enemy's face when they realized they couldn't kill him.
Thinking of this, Kakuzu's eyes burned as he fixed his gaze on Yun Xiao.
This mysterious boss… not only was his strength unfathomably terrifying, but he also possessed such unbelievable products.
Almost unconsciously, Kakuzu glanced at the countless glass display counters surrounding him. His heart skipped a beat—could it be that everything inside was a treasure?
His eyes burned with a fiery intensity. If not for knowing firsthand how terrifying Yun Xiao's power was, he would have already robbed this place!
Seeing Kakuzu's excitement, Yun Xiao chuckled and said:"Since you can now control metal, I recommend you buy something."
As he spoke, Yun Xiao walked over to a counter and retrieved a black square box.
Kakuzu followed and stared curiously at the box.
Under his gaze, the box slowly opened, revealing half a box filled with silver-colored liquid.
"Boss, what's this liquid?" Kakuzu asked curiously.
"This isn't liquid. Take a closer look," Yun Xiao said with a smile.
Hearing this, Kakuzu leaned in carefully. He quickly realized that this wasn't liquid at all—it was countless tiny, round pieces of metal clustered together. They were so minuscule that, at first glance, they really did look like a shimmering fluid.
"This is a batch of nanobots. Since you can control metal, why don't you try manipulating them?" Yun Xiao suggested.
Nodding, Kakuzu extended his hand into the box. With a single thought, the nanobots slowly crawled onto his arm.
Before his astonished eyes, they fully adhered to his arm.
His arm suddenly felt unbelievably solid. With a sudden motion, he swung his arm downward, smashing it against the glass counter.
Clang!
A crisp, ringing sound echoed through the air.
The counter in front of him shattered into pieces, shards of glass scattering everywhere and clattering across the floor.
Kakuzu's eyes widened with exhilaration.
He discovered that these nanobots could change according to his will, shifting into various shapes at his command.
This powerful function thrilled him beyond measure—it was as if he had stumbled upon a priceless treasure.
Unfortunately, the nanobots in this box were only enough to cover one arm.
"Boss, how much is this? I want more!" Kakuzu said, his face filled with excitement.
But when he turned to Yun Xiao, he noticed the man was smiling broadly at him—yet in his eyes flashed an inexplicable trace of surprise?!
Kakuzu frowned. "Boss, what's wrong?"
Yun Xiao's smile grew even brighter."My dear customer, you just smashed one of my glass counters. That'll be ten million ryō in damages, please."
The excitement Kakuzu had felt just moments earlier instantly vanished. His eyes bulged in disbelief.
"Boss… why so expensive?!" he shouted, on the verge of collapse.
He wanted nothing more than to slap himself—why had his hand been so heavy?!
"What can I say? You broke it, so you pay," Yun Xiao replied, the corners of his mouth twitching upward.
Kakuzu nodded bitterly. "I'll take responsibility…"
"Don't worry, we'll settle the bill together," Yun Xiao said with a cheerful smile.
With a casual wave of his hand, the counter that had been shattered instantly returned to its pristine state.
Kakuzu rubbed his eyes in disbelief—how could the counter have been restored so easily?
His heart ached bitterly. Yun Xiao had merely waved his hand and fixed the problem, yet he still demanded ten million in compensation.
Clutching his chest, Kakuzu was thankful he had five hearts and an accelerated blood supply. Otherwise, he might have fainted on the spot.
It was an incident he would probably never forget for the rest of his life…
Completely ignoring Kakuzu's pained expression, Yun Xiao cheerfully continued:"Just now, you said you wanted more nanobots? Hold on a moment…"
From beneath the counter, Yun Xiao pulled out four large boxes of nanobots.
Though Kakuzu was still distressed, the sight of the nanobots instantly swept away his gloom.
If he could cover his entire body with these nanobots, combined with his metallic heart, he would become the coolest bounty hunter in the entire shinobi world.
In Kakuzu's eyes, shinobi were no longer defined by taijutsu, ninjutsu, or genjutsu—they were defined by monetary value.
For example: one horse = thirty million.
Their worth depended entirely on their bounty.
To him, life itself was nothing more than strings of beautiful numbers. He had already begun to imagine his future days—immersed in the joy of exchanging heads for money.
After all, in this vast world, nothing was more important than making money. Eating, drinking, and killing—that was the ultimate pleasure!
Soon, he would be able to live a life where he shut out the outside world, counting money until his hands cramped.
And then, with the money he earned, he could buy even more things from the boss!
If Yun Xiao knew what Kakuzu was thinking at this very moment, he would surely praise him:"Good lad, your future is limitless!"
"One box is twenty million ryō. Four boxes come to a total of one hundred million," Yun Xiao said.
Kakuzu snapped out of his thoughts, a bit stunned. He hadn't expected the nanobots to be so expensive.
Fortunately, he hadn't spent all the money he had accumulated over the years. It was still within his means.
Yun Xiao was ecstatic—Kakuzu was truly a big spender!
In such a short time, this man had already spent one hundred and eighty-five million ryō!
Kakuzu took the boxes and immediately commanded the nanobots to cover his body.
But to his shock, even after buying five boxes, the nanobots only managed to cover half of his body.
Gritting his teeth, he said: "Boss, give me another box!"
By now, nearly all of Kakuzu's life savings had been drained away.
Yun Xiao laughed."Brother, let's settle the previous bill first… altogether, that's one hundred and eighty-five million, five hundred thousand ryō. The extra five hundred thousand covers the senzu bean I gave you earlier."
Kakuzu nodded, understanding that the boss simply wanted reassurance that he could actually pay.
After handing over the money, the once-mountainous pile of cash dwindled to a meager sum.
Yun Xiao quickly estimated that what remained was probably only around thirty to forty million ryō.
It was only then that Kakuzu suddenly realized—money he had painstakingly saved for years was being emptied in such a short span of time…
