Chapter 212 - 212: Copyright!

Nothing is more important than sleeping, but Kakuzu is indeed a problem and needs to be guarded.

Akabane thought for a while and split out a shadow clone.

In fact, he is not very tired. After all, he has strong physical, mental and vitality. It is not a big problem to be sleepless for a day or two. It is just that the laziness of not sleeping for a night can not stop him.

The shadow clone is uncomfortable.

Because he not only has to do the work of the sentry but also has to endure the body sleeping in the bedroom.

As for painting, are we such a diligent shadow clone?

The Shadow Clone stayed up until the afternoon until he saw the intruder.

–—–

A pitch-black tentacle came in through the gap in the window, and then the window was opened with a click, and Kakuzu jumped in from the outside.

Later, he saw "Akabane" sitting there.

"You really came."

"If you can earn money by yourself, there is no need to cooperate with others."

Kakuzu sneered slightly.

He didn't go out just now to explore the market. This thing has already been seen, and no further consideration is needed.

His real purpose was to check the strength of the rest of Chaochuan Town's Rebels, as well as the distribution of the surrounding personnel from Konoha and Sand Village, to determine what kind of vigorous battles would not attract this ninja's attention.

After a lap of compiling information, he was certain.

In Chao Chuan, the strongest Rogue Nin was the "Mist hidden" in front of him.

"It seems that you can only be an enemy."

The shadow clone sighed softly, and then his hands quickly formed a seal——

Hidden Mist Jutsu!

"Silent assassination? Haha, if you only know this, it would disappoint me too much."

Kakuzu sneered, his tentacle soared, and he went all around.

With his Earth Grudge Fear Secret Jutsu, he didn't fear Akabane's Hidden Mist Jutsu!

"Of course not."

Akabane's voice came from the fog.

The technique of concealment of the fog is just to prevent Kakuzu from seeing his eyes-from the moment Kakuzu enters the window, Akabane was already awakened.

Kakuzu is waiting for it, and the tentacle of Earth Grudge Fear is sweeping all around frantically.

however...

Nothing happened, as the opponent seemed not to attack.

While he was puzzled, suddenly two or three silhouettes appeared beside him, his Earth Grudge Fear quickly attacked, but the other side did not retreat at all, each minding their own business as the silhouette counter attacked.

Kakuzu fought and retreated. However, at this time, the knives became six or nine. Although the tentacles of the grievance were strong, they were cut off by an invisible force.

In one round of fighting, he had eight or nine stab wounds on his body.

What is this technique?

Kakuzu was shocked. He knew how Hidden Mist's tactics were. Most of them used Hidden Mist Jutsu with silent assassination, Blade Technique, and some Water-Style Ninjutsu to get the killing effect.

However, this person is clearly not the case.

He seems to use a clone method to replace his injury with the injury of the clone.

Although the attack is not a threat, for the time being, this kind of attack for injury is very rogue, and the point is that he didn't even find the other side's main body anywhere.

How can I fight back?

Kakuzu had many thoughts in his heart, and then two mask clones appeared on his body. however...

Without waiting for the clones to exert their power, they were instantly imprisoned by a jutsu.

Kakuto himself couldn't answer the specific jutsu, because he had never seen this kind of ninjutsu.

It's too weird!

"I know that your Secret Jutsu is the Earth Grudge Fear, Hidden Waterfall Village's former Secret Jutsu. It seems that you are the one who fought against the First Hokage. Kakuzu!"

Akabane's voice came from the fog.

He didn't show up, because he was fighting against someone like Kakuzu. Once he showed up, he would give the other side a chance to fight back. Although he still has the ability of the right eye as a trump card, a trump card is a trump card. If it's shown easily, it won't be called a trump card anymore right?

"Hmph, I didn't expect anyone to know me."

Just like how he felt before, this guy is indeed very difficult to deal with and even has the strength to kill him.

Akabane laughed, and then threatened: "I heard that the Earth Grudge Fear can absorb other people's power into their own use, and form such a clone, but it seems that the key lies in the mask. If you break it..."

"If you kill my mask, I will use all my strength. Even if I can't kill you, as long as people in Konoha and Sand Village notice, your business won't go on."

Kakuzu threatened in turn.

"You can try if you can before I kill you."

As the voice fell.

Kakuzu was surprised to find that a chakra appeared inexplicably around him, and he was immediately imprisoned in a water prison jutsu!

So that's how it is, my clone is imprisoned by this jutsu...

Before he could think about it, he suddenly saw how the sabre passed through the water prison jutsu and rested on his neck without a sound. While a Kunai also appeared directly aimed at his heart, and a similar thing happened to his mask Clone at his side!

Kakuzu thought that if wanted to run Akabane couldn't keep him, but his two cloned masks, plus his own life, was enough for him to lose three hearts at the same time!

Although wars are frequent now and there are many opportunities to get other ninjas' hearts, but he uses these three abilities very well, if not necessary, he has no thought of replacing them.

Of course, Kakuzu didn't immediately dock his tail to survive because he knew Akabane was not so determined to kill him.

"To deal with major countries, I need strong enough partners and subordinates. You are the one who has fought against the first Hokage. Of course, you don't need to ask about my strength. As you have seen it..."

Akabane removed the ability of his left eye, and then dispersed the mist.

He sat in the chair with a calm expression on his face.

"Although I don't know why I have never heard of you, but you are really strong, and you are barely qualified if you want to cooperate with me."

Kakuzu put away the mask of Earth Grudge Fear Clones, as he also sat down on the side chair.

He likes money.

If he can swallow it alone, of course, it's the best, but if he can't solve Akabane now, he can only cooperate.

After all, there are not many countries in the Ninja world as chaotic as the Land-of-Rivers, and there are only a handful of countries that are suitable as a transfer station for comics, and it is quite difficult to stand on his own.

"Then next, let's discuss the distribution of benefits..."

Akabane didn't care about Kakuzu's aggressive words.

As these are meaningless to him, what is really important is that the other party agrees to cooperate and is also very afraid of his own strength.

In this way, his plan was successful.

On the issue of money, the two quarrelled endlessly, and the final bargaining turned into a six to four split, with Akabane six and four for Kakuzu.

However, Akabane's comics are sold to Kakuzu and he earns a share from it, and as Kakuzu sells the comics, he can also earn from it. Although it is only 60%, he actually makes far more than Kakuzu.

After discussing the issue of dividing money, Kakuzu jumped out of the window.

He didn't dare to attack again as Akabane jutsu is quite weird for him. Whether it was the Clone, the Water Prison Jutsu, and the sword later, it gave him a very strange feeling.

At the time, it was foggy and he couldn't see anything at all. He can only confirm from his Earth Grudge Fear's Clone feedback that those are real bodies, not fake Genjutsu or Clone Jutsu.

When ninjas fight, intelligence is very important.

In this battle, his opponent knew about his Secret Jutsu, but Kakuzu knew nothing about Akabane. Of course, he would definitely suffer in the end.

Even if he exploded with all his strength at the time, he couldn't be sure that Akabane could kill his five masks in one breath with that kind of jutsu. If the opponent really had this kind of strength, he would really be over.

Before he figured out Akabane's bottom line, Kakuzu didn't dare to make any more moves.

_–—–_

After he left, Akabane let out a long sigh of relief.

This is the first time he has used Mangekyo Sharingan in battle since he got Mangekyo Sharingan. The result is very gratifying. Even enemies like Kakuzu can be easily subdued or even killed.

however...

He is very clear that this technique has an upper limit.

Just like the illusion of the Kurama clan, when the enemy's strength reaches a certain level, even if he kills the opponent in the illusion, this effect cannot be perfectly fed back to reality.

The same is true for the ability of his left eye.

When the illusion becomes the substance, it has the possibility of being cracked and countered.

The defeat of Kakuzu has a lot to do with his lack of information and the interference of Hidden Mist Jutsu.

However, Akabane has not fully developed the most perfect way of turning the virtual into reality. The features of his eyes are still being experimented with since it's not been long for him to awaken his Mangekyo. For the time being, the effect of the Hidden Mist technique is quite good.

Only this time, in order not to expose his illusion and eyes, he first used his mental power and chakra to create the illusion that besieged Kakuzu in the illusion space and then used his chakra to transform it into a substance that consumes his chakra a little.

Akabane rubbed his eyes and rested for a long time before the soreness of his eyes finally disappeared.

He can be sure that his Sharingan does have lower side effects than ordinary Mangekyo Sharingan, which is highly likely to be related to him having both Uchiha bloodline and Uzumaki physique.

Fortunately, cooperation was reached.

The agreement between the two people is that Kakuzu is another Chief-In-Charge on Land-of-Rivers, and Nakagawa is their immediate Boss.

Kakuzu's ability to make money is trustworthy, and the underground forces in the Land of River are handed over to him, and he will be in charge of Kakuzu himself, which will save a lot of effort.

Of course, the work of Kakuzu is not directly managed here, but to pull another group of people, pretending to be two groups vying with each other, and slowly annexing the market.

Taking advantage of the time when he was out for dinner, Akabane went downstairs to inform Nakagawa, lest these people didn't know the situation, and be killed directly by Kakuzu.

With all this done, Akabane will have time to really visit the current Chaochuan Town.

There is a big change here, and the most important thing is the wandering samurai who come here especially for his comic and for other national reasons.

In other places, Akabane wearing a sword on his waist is very eye-catching, but here, he can see several people in a few steps, and some even have three swords in their waist, just like Zoro in the comics.

On the edge of the river, even a small pier was built on which the newly constructed pirate boats were built.

In every sense, One Piece is influencing the development of this small town.

However, after looking around for a while, Akabane is most concerned about another thing-Chaochuan Town already has a copycat around.

This is a blacksmith's shop. In the past, the business was relatively ordinary, but since he began to imitate the swords that Zoro and Hawkeye used, his business has become more popular than before.

Akabane was secretly concerned, but he didn't intend to block or pursue copyright. Anyway, after he controls the underground forces in Chaochuan Town, with the protection fees, it can still be recovered. These problems are not big.

But this is enough to show that One Piece has a great influence on this place.
