After confirming the man's identity, Yashiro placed the corpse inside one of the coffins on a nearby wall, pushing him inside.
"I didn't think you could take out one of the seven swordsmen of the fog ."
"It's nothing . Looks like I just. .. just went fishing." Counting the money, Kakuzu closed the suitcase and turned around.
"Fifty million in cash, as we agreed. I'll take a leave now."
Elsewhere It has been three days since Jin left the village. Finally, he had been in the village of Takigakure or known as the village of hidden waterfalls.
Sitting in the middle of the small field ground, he used a stick to stab fish and mushrooms before stabbing them into the ground, letting them be roasted with fire
While waiting, he stared at the surrounding forest. The last time he was in this country was in the era of warring countries.
The trees are huge, block almost all sunlight, and have a giant mushroom protruding out of their skin.
As the pungent aroma of the cooked fish reached it, Jin relaxed. 'You don't realize how much you missed camping alone until you did it ..'
Memories of when he was a brat reappeared in Jin's mind. Back then, he remembered always being on guard, as there might be enemies in any corner.
Taking his book, Jin read Kakuzu's information. Not much is known about his abilities, but there have been news of him being seen near Takigakure in recent weeks.
"Said here that he's an expert bounty hunter . Fascinating." The book details Kakuzu's personality, stating that he has an unhealthy adoration for wealth.
Eyewitnesses reported that he was known for slaughtering merciless people who tried to deceive him, as well as always chasing targets with the highest scores in their heads.
Although the information was quite hazy, for Jin this was enough. He had a feeling that this person would give him much-needed pleasure.
Taking the scroll, Jin opened it and read the contents. Inside is a list of important people who are sought after on the black market, and what they are worth. He got it from one of Anbu's corpses in the village.
Jumping into the land's passage, Jin searches for the person who might interest Kakuzu. From his 'known' track record, he had never looked for a person who was less than ten million Ryo.
Only two targets fit that description. One was a top brass, and the other was a missing person from Takigakure.
The first was the most expensive, his head was valued at the sum of ten million Ryo. As for the missing-nin, his assassination would reward seven million Ryo.
Although the money was zero for Jin, he could only sigh at how profitable it was for the market a Jonin would be paid between one million to five million Ryo for an S-rank mission, rarely going past that range.
As for bounty hunters, they can make more money by doing tasks that are arguably simpler.
"He's going to go to take the mission" According to reports, Kakuzu was spotted around this area in recent days. "Maybe it's the higher-ups in the village ."
The higher-ups in question were Igarasih Natsume, a member of the state council as well as a pioneer of the village, and someone close to his daimyo.
Judging by Kakuzu's profit-oriented nature, Jin concludes that he will go for higher-value targets first.
After which, he scrolled the scroll back and placed it in his back pocket.
he then took out a piece of paper and pen before writing the message. When he finished, Jin took another scroll and used it to summon the little eagle.
Looking at Jin, he squeaked excitedly. Smiling, Jin took his message and wrapped it around the bird's feet.
"Send this to the village"
Jumping with his arms, the eagle squeaked once more before setting off at high speed. These are specially trained birds from Konoha, given to all Chunin or higher level ninja before they go on missions.
