It's night.

Two people and one cat traveled all night.

But there’s nothing to complain about, because the task that Oizi Miao entrusted was originally an “urgent mission” that pursued timeliness. For an “old ninja” who has experienced many battles, this level of urgent travel is already commonplace.

"Huh?" Kisame Kisaki suddenly said.

At the same time, Uchiha Itachi also stopped on the tree trunk, and the black red cloud robe on his body swayed back and forth under the blowing of the night wind and the inertia of the sudden stop, making his figure even more thin.

His eyes were calm and sharp as he stared at the forest not far away.

Kisame Kisaki stood next to him.

Ouzi Miao: "..." I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always felt that the moment Kisame stood still, the branches below made a "crunching" sound... This shows that this person also has no idea about his weight.

of.

The next second——

The fork in the road ahead.

Two people walked out slowly.

Two figures also wearing black and red cloud robes.

Walking on the left is a young man with a full head of golden hair and braids. His long bangs cover his left eye, and the remaining hair is scattered in the wide collar of Xiaopao. His eyes are blue and black.

Looks sunny and cute;

If we say that the former is standing "high on the mountain peak", then the one walking on the right looks somewhat "alien" at first glance - wearing a black robe, walking on the ground, with "

"Weapon, iron tail on back.

However, if you look closely, you will find that the person on the right is more like a "puppet" than a "person".

Yes, these two are another pair of long-term partners of the Akatsuki organization——

Deidara and the Red Sand Scorpion.

The former appears in his original appearance, while the latter hides in the puppet "Fei Liuhu" he made every day.

"Scorpion and Deidara?" Kisame Kisame lowered his head and asked, "Why are you here?"

Deidara showed a "hmm" expression, and then replied: "The Kakuzu asked us to come. Well, they said there is a good money-making task nearby. As long as you participate, you can get money per head. Let's not do it."

Miss this great opportunity to make money!"

Red Sand Scorpion Yu Fei Liuhu said "tsk": "That guy Kakuzu really likes to order people around."

"But it's not bad, Xie Danna." Deidara said some scary words in a lively tone, "The more people there are, the more the explosion will be-" He opened his arms and gestured, "Art hmm!"

"Itachi, Kisame, did you also accept this mission?" Xie controlled Fei Liuhu and looked up at the two people on the tree, "Huh? When did you start raising cats?" He asked with a sneer, "This

Are you planning to experience retirement life in advance?"

"Scorpion, I've wanted to say this for a long time." Kisame Mikigaki responded with a sneer, "The reason why you hide under this puppet is actually because you're worried about being beaten to death for being too bad-mouthed, right?"

"What? Kisame, do you really want to try it? What it feels like to be torn in half by Hiryu Ko."

"Since you asked for it, then..."

"Okay, Kisame." Uchiha Itachi raised his hand to stop his companion's meaningless internal conflict, "We still have a mission to do, so we have to get on our way."

The dried persimmon Kisame clicked his tongue and put the weapon back on his shoulder: "Okay, Itachi-san, I'll listen to you."

Xie sneered again: "You are so obedient."

"Hi~" Deidara raised his hand, "Xie Danna, I'm very obedient too!"

"...Who can compete with this?" Xia had discovered a long time ago that his partner was particularly bad at reading the atmosphere. Of course, it didn't matter. After all, the rebellious ninjas of the Akatsuki organization basically had their own characteristics.

As for personality issues, the only difference lies in "who is more perverted", nothing more.

The Red Sand Scorpion has an overly clear understanding of itself and the organization.

Uchiha Itachi looked down at the huge puppet and asked in a deep voice: "Scorpion, have you accepted that mission?" There is no doubt that he knows the opponent's team very well and who is the one who is more truthful in his words.

"So what if it is? So what if it's not?" Xie replied coldly.

"This is directly related to," Uchiha Itachi slowly raised a hand towards the two people under the tree, and said slowly to the latter's alert posture, "should we rush on the road first, or should we do it with you here first?"

Last game."

Kisame Kisaki was stunned for a moment, then grinned. By the way, he grabbed the belt at the collar of Nya, and was ready to throw the latter out for "emergency evacuation" once the battle started.

Ouzi Miao: "..." Aren't you afraid that I will run away? Ah, no, if I run away, you can just do nothing and spend the 100 million. This guy Kisame is really not stupid at all.

.

"Fight?" Deidara showed an excited expression, "Okay, eh!"

"...Wait a minute." Xia said, "Itachi, what do you mean? Could it be that Kakuzu has given you other tasks that conflict with the one we are about to take on?" If that is the case, then they should do the most important thing.

The best thing to do is to find Kakuzu and beat the guy up, and then find Boss Nagato to ask what the situation is - after all, they are currently one of "corporateization", but they want to avoid meaningless internal friction as much as possible.

"No, the mission that Kakuzu proposed for us to do is the same as yours." Kisame Mikigaki replied, "It's just that we received a mission with a more suitable price on the way." He raised two fingers, "Twenty million, kill as soon as possible.

Drop more cards."

"...How many times has it doubled?" Xie was silent for a while and then said, "It's indeed quite cost-effective." He is addicted to making puppets and is more short of money than other people in the Akatsuki organization, so he is more willing to accept various projects.

It's a kind of mission. Fortunately, my partner is a good guy. As long as there is a place to throw bombs, I don't mind where I go.

"Then what should we do now?" Deidara put his hand into his clay bag, "Do you want to fight?"

"No." Xie replied, "We haven't officially taken over that mission, and it doesn't conflict with their purpose."

Kisame Kisaki asked back: "What do you mean?"

Xie said bluntly: "Share your mission with us, otherwise, we will hold you here and prevent you from completing the mission as soon as possible."

After Kisame Kisaki was stunned for a moment, he laughed angrily: "Is this your attitude of asking someone to share the task?"

"I'm not asking for help, it's a threat." Xie replied coldly, "Twenty million, excluding the share for the organization, the remaining four points are the four of you and us. If you accept it, we will act together, if you don't accept it, the negotiation will break down. Choose, Itachi

, Kisame.”

Uchiha Obito from Kamui Space was almost heartbroken: Look, look, this is the number one rebellious ninja organization in the ninja world? Boss Nagato, how do you lead your subordinates, one by one for money, the most basic moral conscience and face?

No more, you failed, what a failure!

Just at this moment...

The cat's head popped up from Kisame Kisame's collar again, and he said, "Twenty million, I'll hire you, will you do it?"

Uchiha Itachi: "..."

Dried persimmon Kisame: "..."

The two of them silently looked at the little kitten that had jumped on Kisame's shoulders and had one thought -

You are really quite rich.

Uchiha Obito from the Kamui Space: "..." You come again? How rich are you, a cat?

Dai Zi Miao flicked her tail: That’s right, I don’t need money, but I just need a little friend to help me spend money~

"Ah... the cat spoke!" Deidara looked surprised, "Is this a ninja cat?"

"It's a ninja cat." Iniki Kakikisame replied, "It's also the client of our mission... no, the entrusting cat. It's the one who hired us for 20 million. By the way, the deposit has already been paid."

"...Is it so profitable to be a ninja cat these days?" Deidara couldn't help but said.

Kisame Kisaki: "..." Don't ask me, I want to know too.

Scorpio doesn't care about this. His main point is: "Yes, but you have to pay us a deposit first."

"I'll pay the full price." Otoko-nyan said cheerfully, "Since you are Itachi-kun and Kisame-kun's companions, you must be trustworthy people with credibility. Itachi-kun, please pay them the full amount, and I will replenish the supplies after the mission is completed.

you."

Uchiha Itachi was silent for a moment, then took out two small seal scrolls from his arms and threw them out: "One of them contains ten million taels, you each click on it."

Kisame Kisaki glanced sideways at his companions, and then suddenly realized: That's right, those gems worth 100 million taels are actually worth far more than 100 million according to the market price, so at this time, it is most cost-effective to directly give the money to Xie and the others.

Well, they can be considered as deducting the price difference on the spot. Itachi-san, as expected of you, you are more sinister than anyone else, and you clearly have a face that says "I don't like to lie to others."

Xie controlled Fei Liuhu to catch the two scrolls.

After a while...

"There is no problem with the amount." Scorpion put his half into the puppet in a good mood, and signaled his teammates to put the other scroll away, "Then let's act together. By the way, Ninja Cat, what else do you have?

Do you want to issue a mission? Kill all the people in the Kingdom of Waves, kill all those Konoha ninjas, whatever, as long as you pay, we can do it."

The key point is "As long as you can make money, you can do anything."

"...Is it really that expensive to make a puppet?" Kisame Kisame, who jumped down from the tree, couldn't help but ask.

"It's very expensive." Because he just received a large amount of money, Scorpio replied in a good mood, "So there is an urgent need for various high-paying tasks. Although I don't know where you found the sponsor, but next time

If there is such a good thing, remember to call us."

Meowth: "..." I really want you to help make a one-to-one Kakashi figure, but I'm worried that you will directly kidnap Kakashi in pursuit of authenticity. Therefore, for the sake of Kakashi's personal safety,
To be continued...
