Chapter 597

Konoha Camp.

"Are you going to do something again?"

Orochimaru looked at Danzo who was walking out of the camp and asked.

Danzo nodded indifferently and said: "I plan to go to the border of the Land of Wind to see if I can find an opportunity to kill the Sand ninjas … The Rock ninjas shouldn't dare to launch a large-scale attack now."

"That being said, it will be dangerous if they take action. I don't know where Kaede is now, he has disappeared for a few months."

Orochimaru showed a thoughtful look.

Danzo stopped and said: "Kaede should still be in the territory of the Land of Rain, maybe he is still chasing the scattered Rain ninjas. Recently, the Land of Rain has been in chaos … Speaking of which, it is said that Kaede's bounty in the black market has reached more than 30 million Ryo."

Now is the 45th year of Konoha, the value of more than 30 million Ryo in this period is about ten times the value of 20 years later, which is equivalent to 300 million Ryo in 20 years.

Orochimaru smiled and said: "More than 30 million Ryo, it seems that my head is only worth a little more than 10 million Ryo, but unfortunately, no one can take that money, and I'm afraid no one would dare to do anything to Kaede."

"No."

Danzo shook his head and said: "Don't underestimate the ninjas active in the underworld. My people are often active in the underworld, so they know some information about the underworld … It is said that among the ninjas active in the underworld, there is a ninja who once fought with the First Hokage-Sama!"

Orochimaru's complexion slightly changed: "A ninja who fought with the First Hokage-Sama? To be able to survive until now … "

The ninjas of a few decades later may not know how powerful the First Hokage-Sama was.

But Orochimaru lived in an era almost similar to the First Hokage-Sama. He had seen the First Hokage-Sama when he was a child, and he had heard countless legends about the First Hokage-Sama. Orochimaru was very clear about the strength of the First Hokage-Sama.

Even the Mountain Chili Fish Hanzo was only given the title of 'Demigod', which was enough to make all the big countries fear him.

But the First Hokage-Sama Hashirama was revered as the God of Shinobi.

With the Wood Release ninjutsu, he ended the Sengoku period and ended the war. Even in the era where he lived, there were almost no wars between the major countries.

"Being targeted by such a ninja, even he is in danger."

Orochimaru said with a serious look.

Danzo continued to walk out of the tent and slowly said: "Our people can't find Kaede, and it will be even more difficult for the underground ninjas to find him. If my people meet Kaede, I will make him come back as soon as possible."

Danzo didn't want to see Kaede get into an accident during this period because Kaede's strength was the key to defeating the other villages.

One Rain Village is not enough.

If he can die together with one of the Great Shinobi Villages, then it would be worth it. But this kind of thing can only be thought about. After all, the gap between the Rain Village and the five great Shinobi Villages is too big. Although Hanzo's personal strength is very strong, the overall strength of the Rain Village is far inferior to the Great Shinobi Villages.

Since the establishment of Konoha, there have only been two ninjas who can suppress the other great Shinobi Villages. One is Madara, and the other is the First Hokage-Sama Hashirama.

Danzo has personally witnessed the strength of the First Hokage-Sama Hashirama.

Although Kaede is also very strong, he is too far away from these two.

…

Somewhere in the Rain Village.

Five kinds of mixed ninjutsu completely submerged Kaede's position in an instant.

The only one who can perceive the chakra nearby is Kaede himself, and there are no other clones or anything like that. Kakuzu is sure that his attack has hit.

For the Silver Flash who has a bounty of more than 30 million Ryo, Kakuzu doesn't have any intention of underestimating the other party. After all, the other party's record is killing the Third Raikage-Sama and Hanzo, who is known as the Shinobi Demi-God.

Thus, he immediately used his strongest attack right from the start. He wanted to kill Feng Ye with a single strike, or at the very least, severely injure him. Only then would he be able to secure the bounty this time.

Of course.

Not underestimating Kaede is just not underestimating Kaede.

As a ninja who once fought with Hashirama and survived, even a character like Hanzo isn't enough to make him afraid. It's just that the other party's bounty is very low, and no one is willing to spend a lot of money to buy Hanzo's life, so Kakuzu isn't interested in Hanzo.

On the other hand, after Kaede killed the Third Raikage-Sama, his bounty began to soar, especially after killing Hanzo, it broke through the level of 30 million Ryo.

This is a huge amount of money.

In the field.

The area hit by the five kinds of ninjutsu was filled with dust.

Just when Kakuzu was about to confirm whether Kaede is dead or alive, a voice suddenly came from the dust, and then Kaede's figure walked out step by step.

"So it's you … Does that mean my head is worth a lot of money?"

Kakuzu thought that it was Danzo who was going to kill him, but he didn't expect it to be Kakuzu. Kakuzu hasn't joined the Akatsuki yet, so the only possibility is the bounty.

Looking at Kaede who walked out, Kakuzu's expression changed slightly. Because he saw that Kaede's clothes were torn, but he didn't have any injuries on his body.

"My ninjutsu is completely ineffective?"

He was shocked.

He was sure that his ninjutsu must have hit the target, and even if he is good at dealing with one of them, it's impossible to deal with all five at the same time.

"From what I sensed just now, my attack should have hit the target, and his clothes are torn as well, but he isn't injured. So … is he a ninja with a special ability like me?"

Kakuzu quickly came to a conclusion.

He has five hearts, and unless all of them are destroyed, he won't die. Kaede may have a similar technique that can transfer damage, so it won't be easy to kill him.

Just as Kakuzu was thinking about Kaede's ability, Kaede took another step forward, and a silver light lit up, accompanied by a violent burst of chakra.

Wouch!

Kaede stepped on the ground with his bare feet, causing the ground to cave in.

"Disturbing me while I'm eating, and ruining my clothes …" Kaede looked at Kakuzu indifferently, and then his figure disappeared.

Huh?

Kakuzu's expression abruptly changed.

He had received information that Kaede was incredibly fast, but he didn't expect Kaede to be so fast that he couldn't keep up with his sight at all!

However, he wasn't panicking, because no matter what kind of attack his main body received, he wouldn't die. As long as Kaede dared to come close and attack him, he would immediately use 'Earth's Fury' to bind Kaede, and then have his heart clone attack Kaede at the same time.

As long as his heart wasn't destroyed, his main body wouldn't die. Kaede also seemed to have a similar strange ability, but even if he couldn't kill Kaede in a single attack, it was impossible for all attacks to be ineffective!

But.

Just as these thoughts flashed through his mind, Kakuzu's expression abruptly changed.

That was because the silver flash didn't attack his main body. Instead, it flashed to the location of one of his heart clones. After the silver flash, the heart clone exploded, turning into countless fragments that dissipated amidst the lightning.

Immediately after.

That flash of silver light appeared next to his next heart clone.

"Damn it!"

"This guy …"

Kakuzu's expression instantly became incomparably unsightly.

Kaede actually didn't attack his main body. Instead, he directly attacked his heart. Could it be that his ninjutsu had already been seen through by Kaede?

But how was this possible!!

Bang! Bang! Kaede!!

Kaede didn't stop at all, and his figure continuously flashed. Kakuzu's heart clones were completely unable to dodge his attacks, and they exploded one after another like watermelons.

"Stop!!"

Seeing this scene, Kakuzu finally revealed a panicked expression. However, Kaede's movements didn't stop in the slightest. Kaede clenched his fist and struck out, shattering Kakuzu's final heart clone.

Kakuzu's main body instantly froze in place.

He stretched out his hand in Kaede's direction, attempting to do something. However, he could feel the power within his body rapidly weakening. Finally, he collapsed onto the ground with a thud.

Everything was silent.

Kaede appeared next to Kakuzu's main body, squatted down slightly, and got close to Kakuzu's head. "I'm well aware of your abilities."

"You …"

Kakuzu's vision began to darken.

Bang!

Feng Ye stood up straight again and stomped down with his foot, shattering Kakuzu's head and transforming it into countless black lines that dissipated.

At the last moment before his consciousness disappeared, Kakuzu's heart was filled with fear that he hadn't experienced for a long time. It was only a few years ago when he fought against Hashirama.

That battle was just a joke.

And now, it was the same.

He almost didn't know what Kaede's ability was.

The whole battle was like a child's play. Kakuzu's sneak attack failed, and he was easily killed by Kaede.

"He saw through my ninjutsu in an instant?"

"He's actually this strong …"

"Sure enough, I shouldn't have made a move this time …"
