Chapter Sixty-six: Entrustment
After saying a word to Airo, I instantly moved to Akatsuki. As for why I went to Akatsuki, it's because there were too many crossers and I couldn't kill them all. Those with strength below Jonin, I issued bounties on them. The few above Jonin, I went to find Kakuzu, a member of the same "Akatsuki" organization as Itachi. I heard Kakuzu loves money and is also in charge of managing Akatsuki's finances. As for the troublesome crossers with strength above Jonin, let's leave it to Akatsuki, the terrorist organization from the Hidden Leaf Village, to deal with them. Crossing over isn't their fault, but their life or death determines whether I can see my brother again, so don't go die carelessly, crossers!
In an instant, the people in the 'Xiao' organization's base were on high alert as they stared at the person who had suddenly appeared in their base, already preparing for battle. The scorpion closest to them had even thrust the poisonous tail of his puppet 'Qī Liú Hǔ' towards this unexpected guest, but suddenly withdrew it halfway. Under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, the scorpion spoke to this 'unexpected guest' in a very old and uncle-like voice, with a tone that was extremely helpless: "Clumsy woman, if you were one second later, you might have died."
Because of the scorpion's abnormal behavior, everyone in 'Xiao' had put down their intention to attack. Everyone looked at this 'uninvited guest', wondering who was so divine that they could enter 'Xiao's base without anyone noticing. When they saw the person's face, everyone's eyes widened in shock. The lone visitor who came to 'Xiao's base was just a five-year-old kid. It seemed like she had an extraordinary relationship with the scorpion. Was she his illegitimate daughter? But unexpectedly, the scorpion's daughter was so cute, was it genetic mutation? Her delicate face, wearing a white kimono with pink cherry blossoms printed on it, stood out in the dark base. Her expressionless face and seven-tenths empty but very beautiful brown-red eyes, which turned blood red due to the darkness, looked eerie yet adorable.
The big snake beside the scorpion looked at the little girl not far away with interest, his unique hoarse voice rang out, asking the question that everyone wanted to ask: "Scorpion, is this little guy your daughter?"
The scorpion almost killed the snake with its poisonous tail, and said in a very bad tone, "No, it's just a woman who has been away from home for over ten years."
The goblin standing beside him couldn't help but say out loud what was on his mind, "Scorpion, you wouldn't be abducting little girls, would you?"
The originally dark base fell silent and became even more eerie, with everyone looking at the scorpion in the uncle's puppet with different expressions. The scorpion now had only one thought, which was to turn that "shark" into a beehive, but unfortunately, it was interrupted. I stared at the scorpion in the uncle's puppet form, and a hint of regret flashed in my eyes. After all, the real scorpion was indeed a beautiful woman who said, "Hey~I didn't come this time to play with you, but to ask the 'Xiao' organization to help me kill some people."
I pulled out a dozen or so dossiers on the Transcendents from the Blood-colored Sakura, and continued to say "Help me kill the people in here, one person gets you one gold coin. The dossiers have detailed descriptions of their abilities and stats. Their abilities are all above Upper Ninja level, don't underestimate them and bring me their heads." I threw a large package of gold coins onto the ground. As for why I had so many gold coins, it was because I had coincidentally picked up the 'Alice Crystal' which had the ability to turn stones into gold, making this ability extremely convenient, no matter where I went I didn't have to worry about going hungry.
At this time, the corners were already staring at the golden eyes of the package on the ground, and hastily took away the documents in the hands of the child. And 'Xiao' organization's BOSS Payne also expressed default, for this package of gold is an important source of their expenses. Although still suspicious of the girl's silent appearance in their base, according to the tone of the scorpion, the girl should be his family member, so it does not pose a threat to the organization, and can only default.
"Little girl, what's your name?" The Great Snake Maru looked at the little girl who showed no fear towards these super S-class rogue ninjas with great interest. Her eyes reminded him of that boy with extraordinary talent he saw before leaving Konoha.
I raised my head to see a pair of golden, vertically-pupiled eyes that resembled those of a snake. They were similar to Sesshomaru's golden demonic pupils, but this man's eyes were more like a snake's. Calmly gazing at the man, he had black long hair and a knife-sharp face. His eyelids extended to his nose with purple eye shadow, pale skin, and two snake-shaped earrings hung from his ears, a man just like a snake.
"My name is Kurenai." This name of mine will never change, even if my surname changes, I firmly believe that.
"Heh heh, what's your surname?" Da She Wan crossed his arms over his chest, a sly smile spreading across his face.
"...my surname in this world is Mizushima." Although I don't understand why he asked for my surname, I do know some information about the Mizushima family. The Mizushima family is a very mysterious and powerful family. But to others, this family is a calamity, an obstacle that threatens their interests, which is probably also the reason why the Mizushimas were annihilated.
The corners of his eyes narrowed, the Mizu Island family was the highest bounty in his mission. In this mission, he almost didn't come back, four of the five hearts in his body were destroyed, which made him go to find four more capable hearts. No wonder this girl looked so familiar, it turned out that she was the only descendant of the Mizu Island family who had not been killed by him yet, her head's bounty must be very high, but now she is his employer and he cannot kill her, besides, her relationship with Scorpion is extraordinary, if he kills her, Scorpion will definitely poison him to death.
Orochimaru's eyes lit up with excitement as he stuck out his snake-like tongue to lick his lips. For Orochimaru, who had a passionate and bloodthirsty obsession with the Uchiha clan's Bloodline Limit, the Uchiha family's Bloodline Limit was fatally attractive. "Hehehe, little girl, I'm very interested in you. How about becoming my apprentice?"
"Orochimaru, I think it's not necessary." Scorpion's face turned slightly darker as he refused, he didn't want this foolish woman to get mixed up with that BT. Originally her brain wasn't very good, if she were to be poisoned by that BT, then she would become even more abnormal. Just then a voice that was quite disrespectful to Scorpion rang out.
"Alright, I'm very interested in the things that Orochimaru, one of the Three Legendary Ninjas, has taught me." I'm still very interested in Orochimaru's forbidden jutsu, after all those techniques can't be found anywhere else. (And so, Sakura successfully became Orochimaru's apprentice, and I believe she will become even stronger.)
