Chapter 36 Assassination, Kakuzu Makes His Appearance
Seeing Izuna's puzzled and speechless expression, Tetsuya didn't offer any explanation, but simply smiled with his eyes slightly narrowed.
"Izuna, you've been resurrected for quite some time now. Would you like to go back and see the Uchiha clan now, and see the Konoha that your brother and the Senju clan built?"
"I?"
Upon hearing Tetsuya's words, Izuna's eyes dimmed slightly.
"Heh, never mind. Aside from our shared name, I have no other connection with the current Uchiha clan. As for Konoha..."
Izuna took a deep breath.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to resist destroying that place that caused my brother so much pain."
Hearing Izuna's words, Tetsuya didn't say anything, his slightly narrowed eyes making it even more difficult to guess what he was thinking.
As for Izuna's claim of destroying Konoha, he really does have that ability.
After being revived by Tetsuya, Izuna's body returned to its peak condition and continues to grow.
He was a genius of the Uchiha clan with amazing learning ability, and learned a lot of powerful ninjutsu from Tetsuya.
With a pair of kaleidoscopes, if it really came down to a fight, there wouldn't be many people in Konoha who could stop him.
Flattening Konoha might be a bit of an exaggeration, but causing serious damage would definitely be no problem.
After all, it was Hashirama who pushed Madara Uchiha away when he tried to destroy Konoha.
Although Izuna is not Madara Uchiha, Konoha will never have another Hashirama.
"I'll stay here and keep an eye on things for you. Although no one would dare cause trouble with Chiba Grand Hotel's reputation in the Land of Fire, as you always say, it's better to be safe than sorry."
"Okay, whatever makes you happy."
"By the way, Tetsuya, when can my brother be resurrected?"
"Resurrect Uchiha Madara."
Tetsuya touched his chin.
"It's still early, don't rush."
It's still early, after all, Madara Uchiha is still alive. How can someone who isn't dead revive themselves?
"Believe me, when the time is right, I will resurrect your brother."
"Well, I believe you."
"I'll go back and pack my things now. I should be back in a few days, Ghana!"
Tetsuya waved and turned to leave.
Izuna watched Tetsuya's departing figure, pondered for a long time, and finally walked to the spot where Tetsuya had been sitting, picked up his fishing rod, and began to fish.
After severing ties with her family, Izuna felt that her current life was quite good, and of course, it would be even better if her brother were still here.
Yes, I need to help Tetsuya manage the business and revive my brother as soon as possible.
Back at the Chiba Grand Hotel, Tetsuya symbolically packed a few things in preparation for returning to Konoha.
Putting everything else aside, he can now be considered a wealthy businessman in his own right, after all, the Chiba Grand Hotel is quite famous in the Land of Fire.
What's that saying again? "Wealth and honor not returned to one's hometown is like wearing brocade at night."
"Please go ahead, boss."
Outside the door, the coachman, who had been waiting for a long time, gestured for them to enter.
Tetsuya stepped onto the train and sat down in the carriage.
The sound of hooves rose, and two white horses slowly pulled the carriage away from the capital of the Land of Fire.
Enjoy life. Now that you have money, you should learn to enjoy it.
Sigh, although with his current strength, he could return to Konoha quickly if he ran, it's not as comfortable as taking a car.
"Sigh! This extravagant lifestyle is truly decadent."
Sitting on the soft couch inside the carriage, enjoying delicate pastries and drinks, Tetsuya was thoroughly enjoying himself, a lifestyle he had never experienced in his previous life.
"Ok?"
Setting down the sake jug, Tetsuya suddenly opened his narrowed eyes, his black pupils instantly turning red.
"Interesting. You can't even stand it after I've only been out for half a day?"
He sensed a chakra filled with malice; clearly, someone was coming for him.
Over the years, it's not like no one has ever had malicious intentions towards me.
Unfortunately, while in the capital, Tetsuya befriended those high-ranking officials and nobles, and those nobles would not allow anyone to lay a hand on him on their territory.
Therefore, once outside the capital, many bounty hunters would come upon hearing the news, hoping to make a fortune by targeting Tetsuya.
It's a real shame that these guys didn't even have a chance to get close to Tetsuya. The moment they showed their malice, Izuna would cut off their heads.
This time, Izuna did not appear with Tetsuya, and people couldn't help but react after only half a day away from the capital.
"Whoosh!"
A kunai pierced through the carriage, heading straight for Tetsuya's head.
"Whoosh!"
In the blink of an eye, the kunai flew out from the other side of the carriage and landed on a large tree.
"what--!"
The coachman cried out in alarm, and the horses neighed, startled by the sudden attack.
"boss!"
The coachman exclaimed in surprise, but he calmed down in the next moment, and a pair of scarlet pupils appeared in his eyes.
The next moment, the coachman leaped off the carriage and ran away as fast as he could.
Clearly, the ninjas who came to attack Tetsuya had no interest in a mere coachman.
Tetsuya stepped out of the carriage, jumped off, slapped the horse's rump, and the carriage chased after the direction the coachman had fled.
"Alright, that's fine now. I paid for the carriage, so it wouldn't be good if it got damaged."
As he spoke, Tetsuya stretched.
"What, aren't you going to come out yet?"
"Swish swish~!"
Before the words had even finished, several whooshing sounds came from the air.
Six shuriken, like venomous snakes, aimed straight for Tetsuya's throat.
Seeing this, Tetsuya turned to the side, and the shuriken flew past Tetsuya's neck without harming a single hair.
"Aren't you going to come out yet? With your tricks, you can't take my head."
"The intelligence was wrong. Wasn't it said that the owner of the Chiba Grand Hotel was an ordinary person, and that he was protected by ninjas who helped him avoid the bounty hunters' assassination? Now it seems that you are not so simple either."
A figure appeared on the treetop. The person was wearing a black vest and a black mask, and their head was completely covered, with only a pair of green eyes showing.
There were obvious stitches on his arms, making his hands look like a bunch of pieces sewn together.
He wore a metal headband on his forehead, with the symbol of Takigakure engraved on it. However, the symbol of Takigakure was crossed out, indicating that the person in front of him was a rogue ninja.
With such a conspicuous mark, Tetsuya recognized the other party's identity at a glance.
"Oh! I thought it was someone coming to take my life, but I never expected it to be you! The infamous bounty hunter, Lord Kakuzu, the rogue ninja of Takigakure!"
He wasn't afraid when he saw Kakuzu Tetsuya; instead, he became excited.
Why? Because he admires the talent of perspective.
It wasn't that I admired his Earth Grudge Technique, which turned him into a monster, but rather his talent for making money.
What do I need most? Money, of course! You could say that Tetsuya and Kaku get along really well.
