Chapter 52:
[Extra Chapter! Just For You!]
Onoki's question naturally had no immediate answer.
Returning to the Five Kage Summit.
A meeting of such significance couldn't be convened with just a word.
Each major village had its own important matters and demands.
Unless the knife was at their throats.
For instance, like the Akatsuki's rampant collection of Tailed Beasts or if Gensou had done something to deeply wound the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to reach a consensus in a short time.
Compared to the massive Five Great Shinobi Villages, other forces were much more straightforward.
Soon, Gensou's portrait appeared on the black market, along with a staggering bounty of 800 million.
This time, however, the bounty requirement was no longer for his corpse but for Gensou alive or the secret of his resurrection.
For those powerful figures who were not shinobi, upon hearing the news of Gensou's resurrection, their first concern was not the shift in the shinobi world's balance but the possibility of resurrection.
Who wouldn't want a second life?
Especially those who lacked nothing material and feared death the most.
So, one billion, two billion, three billion... add more bounty money!
As long as they could obtain the secret of resurrection.
Money was never a problem.
Such a massive amount of money, combined with the mystery of resurrection, indeed attracted a large number of bounty hunters.
Though they had heard Gensou was formidable, so what?
If he's human, he can be killed.
Maybe with a stroke of luck, they could claim this massive fortune.
At this moment, in a bounty office disguised as a public toilet, a group of fierce-looking bounty hunters excitedly pointed at Gensou's bounty.
Until a crisp bell rang from behind.
Their expressions changed abruptly, and they fell silent with trepidation.
Ding ding~~~
Kakuzu, wearing a conical hat and a black cloak with red clouds, carrying a box filled with money obtained from exchanging a corpse, walked towards the bounty board out of habit, looking for a new target.
Seeing this, the bounty hunters instinctively made way for this legendary figure.
No one knew how long Kakuzu had been a bounty hunter.
Even the oldest bounty hunters vaguely remembered that Kakuzu was already there when they started.
Once, someone tried to trouble him, thinking that with so many years of bounty hunting, the amassed wealth must be astronomical.
However, they ended up as corpses, adding to Kakuzu's fortune.
Over time, Kakuzu became a taboo in the black market, and no one dared to offend him.
But today, the legendary Kakuzu, upon seeing the sky-high bounty of 800 million, couldn't help but breathe rapidly for a few moments. However, upon seeing the identity of the target, he quickly calmed down and did not record it in his little book as usual.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Taking a deep look at the vivid and lifelike portrait of Gensou, Kakuzu silently turned and left. As one of the few people still alive from the Warring States Period, Gensou might not know him, but Kakuzu knew Gensou well.
After the cold winds of the assassination attempt on Hashirama, resulting in Hashirama merely patting him on the shoulder and telling him to live well, Kakuzu no longer followed orders but lived solely for money.
He clearly understood the difference between making money for a short time or a lifetime.
It was best not to take on such a hot potato.
As for the secret of resurrection, mastering the Earth Grudge Fear technique meant he was no longer fully human, and with a long life ahead, he wasn't concerned about it.
Ding ding~~~
As Kakuzu walked out of the stinking public toilet, his impatient partner Hidan, holding his nose, said, "Finally out! Kakuzu, can't you choose a better place to collect money?"
"No," Kakuzu said calmly.
"Evil atheist!" Hidan could only curse.
Kakuzu glanced at him.
Just as Hidan couldn't do anything to him, he couldn't kill Hidan either.
Otherwise, he would have long killed his partner and taken the corpse for money.
Unaware that the bounty he coveted was just within reach, Hidan said, "The boss has summoned us for a meeting."
"What's the matter?" Kakuzu asked.
Hidan shrugged, "Something big happened recently, I guess. Who knows."
Kakuzu thought of Gensou.
The so-called big event must be related to him.
"Lord Madara! Lord Madara! Have you heard? Your good friend is resurrected."
In a cold tower, the masked man, Obito, who was silently watching the endless cold rain outside, heard White Zetsu's voice behind him and turned around in confusion.
"A good friend resurrected? What do you mean?"
He had no good friends now.
If he did, it would be those friends from his days as Obito, now severed ties.
Like Kakashi.
But those guys weren't dead.
"Hagoromo Gensou! Someone from your time has come back to life!"
White Zetsu gave the answer with a grin, while Black Zetsu frowned deeply.
"Hagoromo Gensou?"
Obito thought, "Who is he?"
As a poor student, he had no interest in shinobi history.
During his time with Madara, the old man had no interest in mentioning someone who was
dead and no longer a threat.
So, Obito, disguised as Madara, knew nothing about Gensou.
Black Zetsu, aware of Obito's true nature, explained briefly, "A person from Madara's time,
someone he held in high regard."
Obito immediately understood.
His exposed eye narrowed slightly, catching the key point, "Without the Rinne Tensei, how
did this person come back to life?"
Black Zetsu's voice turned grave, "Unknown."
This was precisely what concerned it.
The plan to save its mother was progressing smoothly.
The last thing it wanted was unexpected events.
And now, Gensou's resurrection was precisely such an unexpected event.
The Five Great Shinobi Villages were very concerned, and it worried that Gensou's appearance
might disrupt the plan.
Obito also considered this, about to say something when a phantom figure appeared before
him.
The newcomer spoke:
"Madara-sama."
