Chapter 105 Kakuzu's Faith

After the figures of Tiehuo and other Uchiha disappeared, Bai Ye said to Shisui:

"Uchiha Shisui, they abandoned you. Not even one person volunteered to stay and replace you. Is such a family still worth your nostalgia?"

Shisui looked at Bai Ye who was trying to sow discord and said:
"I am staying here voluntarily. Please don't destroy the relationship between me and my tribe. When they have collected the ransom, they will come and redeem me."

"I think it's more likely that they'll bring a group of Jonin to attack me."

Bai Ye shook his head and stated the biggest possibility.

Shisui opened his mouth but didn't know how to refute. Judging from the character of his tribesmen, there was a high possibility that they would come over to attack, at least to regain the face they lost in front of Bai Ye.

"Since you know all this, why did you let us go?"

Shisui couldn't quite understand Bai Ye. In his eyes, Bai Ye was just a cloud of fog. He couldn't see clearly either his identity or his purpose.

He even had a vague suspicion that the other party kept him here on purpose.

Bai Ye saw through Shisui's thoughts and directly exposed him: "Don't call me Your Excellency, Your Excellency. Just call me Lord Bai Ye. I came here today for Kakuzu, but I didn't expect to meet such an unexpected surprise like you."

"Since arresting just one of you is no different, why not take everyone away and make some money?"

"Master Bai Ye, you are really honest..."

Shisui could feel that Bai Ye was telling the truth, but wasn't this attitude too much? He really didn't take the Uchiha clan seriously.

"Thanks for the compliment, I tell the truth most of the time."

Shisui was sweating profusely, and he skipped this topic and went straight to the point: "Master Bai Ye, I don't know what you value about me that made you take the initiative."

"Talent and strength..."

Bai Ye paused for a moment, then continued: "My organization lacks talents like you, so the moment I saw you, I wanted to recruit you."

Shisui's face turned serious, and he shook his head and refused, "I'm sorry, I'm a ninja from Konoha, and I have no intention of joining other organizations now or in the future."

Bai Ye asked back: "You are a ninja of Konoha, so you are not a ninja of Uchiha?"

"I am a Konoha ninja and an Uchiha ninja! But I can never be your ninja."

Shisui said this with a firm attitude, and at the same time he became a little more wary of Bai Ye.

How did Bai Ye know that there was a conflict between the family and the village? Could it be that the conflict between the family and the village had spread outside the village and was known by ninjas from other ninja villages?

Bai Ye did not embarrass Shisui, and chuckled and said: "It's just a joke, don't be too sensitive, I just think that you Uchiha should live in a new environment instead of being ostracized in Konoha."

"If you covet the benefits of staying in Konoha and want to become Hokage at the same time, it will only be very painful."

"After all, you Uchiha, after Uchiha Madara defected, completely lost the chance to become Hokage. This is the fate of a loser, and you will never be able to turn things around."

Hearing these words, Shisui's face turned as gloomy as water.

He felt Bai Ye's malice towards the village and Uchiha from his words. Where did this malice come from, and why did he use such vicious words to curse Uchiha?
Just as Shisui was about to open his mouth to refute, Hanzo brought Kakuzu to Byakuya.

After more than ten minutes of fighting, the injured Kakuzu was finally captured by Hanzo, and now only the last one of his five hearts is left.

His body was covered with detonating talismans, so he dared not act rashly.

It can only be said that although Kakuzu is strong, he is still inferior to Hanzo who has the strength of the Five Kage. At this time, Kakuzu also noticed the captured Shisui and sighed softly in his heart. Not only did he lose the prey he had set his sights on, but he himself also became the prey.

But when did ninjas appear in the ninja world that left him helpless? And two of them appeared at once.

However, after seeing the salamander beside Bai Ye, Kakuzu narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had guessed the identities of Bai Ye and Hanzo.

"Uchiha boy over there, our luck is really bad. After consuming most of our chakra, we were caught by a third party force."

"But why is it that a famous demigod is accepting bounties?"

The masked ninja over there is Hanzo of the Salamander... Even though he had already guessed it in his mind, Shisui was still quite shocked after hearing the exact information.

After his identity was guessed, Hanzo fell silent

In front of outsiders, he is still a demigod, and he often mentions the title of demigod in front of Bai Ye, but in his heart he is no longer a demigod, and this title is more like a joke.

"It's not easy to be a demigod these days. You always have to make some extra money."

Bai Ye took the initiative to take over the conversation, walked to Kakuzu, and continued: "Besides, I came here specifically to look for Kakuzu-senpai this time."

"What do you want from me? I only know how to kill people and carry out missions!"

Jiao Du didn't know Bai Ye, but out of respect for Bai Ye's strength, he still responded.

After all, although he had never fought with Bai Ye, Bai Ye captured Shisui, and his strength should not be underestimated.

In his opinion, Salamander Hanzo was taking his heir out for training this time, and for some reason he targeted him as a bounty hunter.

Moreover, didn’t the five major ninja villages know that a big figure like a demigod had left the Hidden Rain Village?

"What we value is Kakuzu-senpai's ability to kill, so we plan to hire Kakuzu-senpai to work for us."

Clapping his hands, Bai Ye made the salamander spit out the property he had just robbed.

After taking Shisui's katana in his hand, he pushed the rest of the belongings and weapons in front of Kakuzu.

"These things should be able to prove my sincerity. In addition, there is Kakuzu-senpai's life-saving money. For the sake of money, Kakuzu-senpai should not refuse this job."

Kakuzu fell into deep thought, feeling extremely conflicted.

After looking at Hanzo in the distance and the property in front of him, Kakuzu finally nodded:
"I can work for you, but let's make it clear in advance that if you don't pay me on time, I may betray you at any time."

“It’s natural…”

Bai Ye nodded, and then said: "But if Kakuzu-senpai breaks the agreement, I will find where you keep your money and destroy all the money in it."

Hearing this, Kakuzu was startled.

Money is his belief, more important than life. The only pleasure in living in the ninja world is to make money, everything else is meaningless.

As he spoke, Byakuya took out the agreement he had carried with him and handed it to Kakuzu.

Jiaodu read the agreement carefully for a long time and then signed it cautiously.

After joining the Akatsuki organization, Kakuzu looked at Shisui and asked, "Boss, can I kill this Uchiha? His bounty on the black market is not low."
