Chapter 55: Showing Mirror Flower Water Moon to all Akatsuki Organization members
White Zetsu gloated, explaining, "He is Kakuzu, the Akatsuki Organization's financial manager. He loves money the most. Because you annihilated the Sarutobi Clan and the Shimura Clan, Konoha seems to have placed an extremely high bounty on you at the underground exchange. Now Kakuzu sees you as if he's seeing a large sum of money."
Qianye suddenly understood and continued to ask, "So how much did they put a bounty on me for?"
"Ninety million ryo," Black Zetsu replied.
"What the heck, that old man Hokage is too stingy. It's not even three Asumas," Qianye pouted disdainfully, pulling a scroll from his sleeve and unrolling it on the ground. He formed a hand seal, and with a bang, the smoke dispersed, revealing over a dozen suitcases.
Qianye opened one of the cases, revealing the gleaming banknotes inside, and said to Kakuzu, "I don't like money; I'm not interested in it. I haven't counted exactly how much is here, but it's definitely over four hundred million. Since you love money so much, how about we make a bet?"
"Bet what?" Looking at the gleaming banknotes scattered on the ground, Kakuzu's throat bobbed, and he swallowed hard.
He had seen a lot of money, but he had never earned this much at once.
Four hundred million ryo, how many Asumas would he have to kill for that!
Not just Kakuzu, but even the other Akatsuki Organization members were somewhat moved.
Especially money-burning big spenders like Sasori and Orochimaru, who loved to research puppets and forbidden Ninjutsu.
The amount of money they spent each year was astronomical.
Sure enough, Orochimaru immediately walked over, a little emotional, "Qianye-kun, where did you get so much money?"
"Where else could it come from? From the Sarutobi vault, of course. Your deceased teacher's family was incredibly rich. I have several more scrolls like this. It's just easy pickings anyway. It's not like I worked hard to earn it, so even if I lose, I won't feel bad," Qianye shrugged slightly.
Hearing this, including Orochimaru and Uchiha Itachi, several black lines appeared on the foreheads of everyone present.
"Then Qianye-kun has really struck it rich," Orochimaru gave an awkward smile, thinking to himself whether he should also rob a wealthy family when he ran out of money.
Qianye ignored Orochimaru, put away the extra money boxes, leaving only three, and continued to say to Kakuzu, "You, the Tentacle monster with the mask, I dislike being targeted the most. Since you're so brave, how about we fight? If you win, I'll give you one hundred million, how about that?"
"Is that true?" Kakuzu's eyes widened, his expression excited.
One hundred million was already a lot; he would have to kill one Chiriku and two Asumas to earn that.
"Of course, but what if you lose?" Qianye retorted.
"Whatever you want, but I won't give you money. At worst, I'll just give you my life," Kakuzu adopted an attitude of having no money but a life to spare.
He didn't believe he would lose, and even if he did, he had five lives anyway, so losing one or two wouldn't matter much.
"I'm not interested in your life," Qianye's lips curved into a cunning smile.
Kakuzu froze, "Then what do you want?"
"You just need to hand over the Ninjutsu you've learned if you lose. Of course, I won't let you suffer a loss; in return, that one hundred million is still yours. After all, I can't stand to see my companions suffer losses."
Qianye casually found an excuse.
In reality, his true purpose was to use this opportunity to release Mirror Flower Water Moon.
"Good, I agree," Hearing this, Kakuzu agreed almost without hesitation.
For such a profitable and harmless business, there was no reason for him to refuse.
Even if he lost, exchanging his Ninjutsu for one hundred million ryo was worth it. Anyway, he wouldn't lose a piece of himself.
"Then let's go." Qianye was about to move when Orochimaru hurriedly stopped him, "Wait, Qianye-kun, I also have a lot of Ninjutsu. You don't have to fight me; I'll sell them directly to you."
"You?" Qianye made a gesture of disgust, "Forget it, Uncle Snake. You definitely won't teach core Ninjutsu, and the others are either snakes spitting snakes or snakes spitting swords. I don't want to learn such disgusting things. Compared to those, I prefer traditional Five Element Release Ninjutsu."
While speaking, Qianye used the Body Flicker Technique and disappeared from the lighthouse. The other Akatsuki Organization members also became interested and followed closely behind.
Only Pain, Konan, and Zetsu remained in the field.
Black Zetsu looked at Pain: "Leader, is it really okay to let them mess around like this?"
"It's harmless. Besides, I also want to see the strength of the new member," Pain's voice fell, and he too disappeared with the Body Flicker Technique. Konan followed closely behind.
"Let's follow them too," Black Zetsu said to White Zetsu, and his body merged into the ground, disappearing.
Not long after.
The Akatsuki Organization members quickly followed Qianye to an open area.
Qianye and Kakuzu stood fifty paces apart.
"Are you ready, Tentacle monster!" Qianye looked at Kakuzu opposite him, flicked his right sleeve, and the zanpakuto kyoka suigetsu appeared in his hand out of thin air.
He whispered in his heart under the gaze of all the Akatsuki Organization members present, "Shatter! Mirror Flower Water Moon."
"Using a sword? Come on, kid."
Kakuzu didn't notice anything unusual. He took a stance, and Earth Release: Earth Spear quietly covered his entire body. He was extremely confident in his strength and combat experience. Among the Akatsuki Organization, few were worth his attention besides the leader, Pain.
However, in the next instant, before Kakuzu could react, Qianye suddenly appeared behind him, his right hand surging with lightning, Chidori chirping, and a Chidori Sharp Spear pierced his left chest from behind.
"So fast…" All the Akatsuki Organization members were startled.
Except for the two Zetsus, who had witnessed Qianye's clan annihilation.
No one else had expected Qianye's Body Flicker Technique to be so fast. In terms of speed alone, he was already unmatched within the Akatsuki. Few in the entire Ninja World could compare.
And there was also this terrifying lightning-style Chakra nature and form transformation.
Just one strike made Kakuzu lose a heart.
"This is… Kakashi's Chidori," Orochimaru froze, his long snake tongue darting out to lick his lips, looking at Qianye in the field as if he were looking at a peerless treasure.
What a perfect body!
What a case of the student surpassing the master!
If Qianye didn't have a Bloodline Limit, Lord Orochimaru would have been tempted.
Qianye clicked his tongue, "Oh dear, Tentacle monster, how did you fall for it so easily? You're too weak. If this continues, you won't be alive to get that one hundred million ryo."
As he spoke, Qianye changed the form of the Chidori in his hand, turning it into a lightning whip, releasing a powerful current that enveloped Kakuzu.
"You…"
Lightning naturally countered earth. Now, wrapped in the lightning whip that Qianye had transformed and pierced through his heart, Kakuzu's Earth Release: Earth Spear was completely useless, and he immediately let out a painful roar.
In just a few moments, he fell to the ground, completely losing his life force.
