Chapter 159 - Chapter 157 The Strongest Working Class

Seeing Kakuzu drenched in sweat, Uchiha Yuzuru didn't rush to attack, but instead smiled and said, "What, is this all the strength you have?"

"It seems the rumors I heard were true; your so-called assassination of the First Hokage was probably just throwing a shuriken from a great distance."

Hearing Uchiha Yuzuru's mockery, an angry expression appeared on Kakuzu's face.

If there was anything he cared about most in his life, one was making money, and the other was the assassination of Senju Hashirama.

Although he was forced by Hidden Waterfall Village's higher-ups to assassinate Senju Hashirama at the time, it had become an experience he prided himself on.

Almost every time before a battle with an opponent, he would mention it.

Every time he saw the shocked expression on his opponent's face after hearing about it, Kakuzu could feel a sense of superiority rising in his heart.

But this time, Uchiha Yuzuru not only wasn't shocked, surprised, or flustered as he had imagined, but instead kept mocking him like a clown... simply unforgivable!

Thinking of this, two masked monsters once again appeared on Kakuzu's shoulders, and together with him, they formed hand Seals and launched their strongest attack.

"Jiongu: Final Shot."

"Your corpse... I'll take it!"

With a loud roar from Kakuzu, his entire Chakra instantly poured out, and an extremely terrifying Chakra cannon shot from his severed right arm, rushing towards Uchiha Yuzuru at an incredibly fast speed.

"Yuzuru, be careful!"

Before Kakuzu made his move, Tsunade had already sensed the terrifying energy fluctuation.

Even if she released her Yin Seal, she wasn't confident she could survive such an attack.

Facing Tsunade's reminder, Uchiha Yuzuru just chuckled lightly: "Tsunade, you'll have to get used to something in the future."

"No matter who the enemy is, I... will never fail."

After speaking, Uchiha Yuzuru gently grasped his hand in the Void Realm, and the Uchiha fan appeared out of thin air from the Kamui Dimension.

Facing Kakuzu's ultimate killing move, Uchiha Yuzuru simply held the fan horizontally in front of him and slowly said, "Uchiha Reflection."

Boom!

The huge beam of light instantly reflected, directly engulfing Kakuzu's body.

The powerful air current stirred up a strong wind, and Uchiha Yuzuru's clothes and long hair fluttered in the wind.

"So... so handsome..."

Even Tsunade, after seeing Uchiha Yuzuru at this moment, couldn't help but blurt out words of praise.

She had lived for so long, traveling to countless places in the Ninja World.

Whether it was temperament or appearance... she had never seen anyone who could compare to Uchiha Yuzuru.

Uchiha Yuzuru didn't hear Tsunade's murmur, he simply put the fan behind his back and walked towards Kakuzu.

Looking down at Kakuzu, who was lying on the ground unable to move, Uchiha Yuzuru's mouth curved slightly: "You actually survived, how resilient."

"It's just... you should only have one heart left now, right?"

Hearing this, Kakuzu's pupils suddenly contracted, and he said incredulously: "You, you, what do you mean?"

"Jiongu can give the body a total of five hearts, and each heart can release Ninjutsu of its corresponding attribute."

"By constantly replacing hearts, you can achieve immortality; you won't die until all five hearts are destroyed."

"Am I right?"

Seeing Uchiha Yuzuru reveal all the secrets of Jiongu as if reciting a family treasure, the shocked expression on Kakuzu's face was no longer concealable.

After taking Jiongu, he had destroyed all relevant information about Jiongu in Hidden Waterfall Village.

So much time had passed, no one in the Ninja World should know these secrets anymore.

Why did Uchiha Yuzuru know so much about Jiongu?!

"Do you have any last words?"

After hearing Uchiha Yuzuru's words, Kakuzu felt the fear of death for the first time.

He originally thought he had seen through the essence of life, but he didn't expect that only when death approached did he realize how much he cherished this world.

He hadn't earned enough money, and he still wanted to experience the joy of counting money again and again.

"I don't want to die."

Kakuzu spoke his truest thoughts, and Uchiha Yuzuru couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

This was a bit too straightforward... but Uchiha Yuzuru hadn't intended to kill Kakuzu anyway, otherwise he wouldn't have played with him for so long.

Upon hearing Kakuzu's answer, Uchiha Yuzuru said indifferently: "Serve me from now on, and I can spare your life."

Hearing this, Kakuzu, who had originally thought he was doomed, couldn't help but light up, and immediately asked: "What do you want me to do?"

"Continue being your bounty Ninja, and then hand over all the money you earn."

"Also, hand over the secret technique, Jiongu."

Although Uchiha Yuzuru wasn't short on money, he had promised Konan that he would find her a money-making workhorse.

Kakuzu was a very suitable candidate.

As for Jiongu... giving it to Orochimaru for research was also a good option.

After all, theoretically, Jiongu could be considered a form of achieving immortality, and it might inspire Orochimaru.

Hearing Uchiha Yuzuru's demands, Kakuzu almost didn't hesitate at all, and immediately nodded in agreement: "I'm willing!"

His favorite things were making money and the feeling of counting money; he wasn't particularly keen on spending it.

So, as long as he could continue to make money, even if he handed over all the money he earned to Uchiha Yuzuru, there was nothing to refuse.

As for handing over the secret technique Jiongu... although it might lead to his information being leaked, it was more important to survive first.

"Good, then come back to Hidden Cloud Village with me."

"Can I go take care of something first?"

"What is it?"

Kakuzu pointed to the unrecognizable corpse on the ground nearby and said in a deep voice: "It would be a pity not to exchange the guy I finally killed for a bounty."

Hearing this, Uchiha Yuzuru couldn't help but shake his head with a smile: "Go ahead, just remember to catch up."

"Alright."

Watching Kakuzu's excited retreating figure, Uchiha Yuzuru felt a little emotional.

As expected of the strongest workhorse, his awareness was truly exceptionally high.

After Kakuzu left, Uchiha Yuzuru skillfully took Tsunade's hand, only to see a blush appear on Tsunade's cheeks.

Uchiha Yuzuru asked curiously: "Tsunade, why is your face so red?"

Tsunade was startled and quickly covered her face with her hand: "Is, is it?"

Seeing Tsunade's actions, Uchiha Yuzuru's heart stirred: "Tsunade, you haven't fallen for me, have you?"

"Stop being so conceited!"

Tsunade shook off Uchiha Yuzuru's hand and strode forward.

Seeing Tsunade's flustered back, Uchiha Yuzuru was secretly pleased.

At this rate, it wouldn't be long before he could activate the Senju Clan's Bloodline evolution.
