Chapter 421 Protection Fees
Suddenly, a black triangular pyramid flew down from the sky, spinning like a top and crashing down on Qianyao.
Qianyao stepped back and blocked the black triangular pyramid with his sword.
when!
After a dull thud, Chiyo's Susanoo took two steps back.
Killer Bee was somewhat surprised and confused, wondering why the Akatsuki members would come to rescue him!
Chiyo stood inside Susanoo, coldly watching Sasori riding on the puppet of the Third Kazekage.
"Akatsuki, do you want to interfere?"
Scorpion's voice was flat, as if it had no emotion.
"How can we do business if you Konoha are using the banner of our Akatsuki leader?"
Qianyao looked Sasori and Killer Bee up and down: "You Akatsuki are far too greedy. Be careful you don't overeat!"
Scorpion pulled a scroll from behind his back and held it in his hand:
"If we continue fighting, it might damage our relationship."
Qianyao glanced at the scroll with a wary expression, then snorted and canceled Susanoo before withdrawing from the battlefield.
Scorpion flapped its iron sand wings and descended from the sky to Killer Bee's side.
Killer Bee was somewhat wary, but he still managed to revert to his full tailed beast form and return to human form.
He had just gleaned some meaning from Scorpion and Qianyao's conversation, but he wasn't sure yet.
Killer Bee looked at Sasori warily: "What does your Akatsuki organization mean by this?"
Scorpion spoke in a businesslike tone:
"Our Akatsuki organization is just an employment organization. We work for whoever pays us."
"But after our leader helped Konoha last time, you all thought that our Akatsuki organization only served Konoha. How are we supposed to make money then?"
Killer Bee's guard has also lowered somewhat.
Sasori paused for a moment: "Konoha doesn't have much money right now."
Kirabi said thoughtfully, "So, you're here to make money?"
Scorpion retorted, "Your Cloud Village isn't short of money, is it? I've already saved the team you led."
Killer Bee glanced in the direction of his own team, and sure enough, the sounds of battle had ceased.
"Don't worry, Yunyin can afford to pay for this."
Killer Bee looked at Yugito's corpse, his tone heavy: "Unfortunately, you're too late."
Scorpion also saw Yukito's corpse: "We have no way to control this."
"But you should be grateful that the others are alive."
“Uchiha Chiyo might return. Without my protection, it’s hard to say whether you or those Cloud Villagers could survive.”
Sasori looked towards the Cloud Village team and passed the buck to Killer Bee.
Killer Bee immediately understood that Scorpion was asking him if he needed bodyguards.
But Killer Bee is willing to spend some money to keep his brothers alive.
How much would it cost to hire you as a bodyguard?
“Three billion.” Scorpion’s opening statement was an astronomical figure.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Hiruzen Sarutobi embezzled tens of billions of yen; the vast majority of that money was in real estate.
In fact, the Raikage's head now only costs 100 million (severed arms have become cheaper).
Of course, this is a case of having a price but no market, and no one would assassinate the Raikage, even if the Raikage lost his hand.
Killer Bee's head alone has over 100 million heads.
However, the price for a living person is different from that for a dead person.
"So expensive!?" Killer Bee's face twitched; the price was beyond his comprehension.
Scorpion had no intention of bargaining with him:
"That's the price. You're the only Jinchuriki left in Kumogakure."
"Although Konoha may be poor, we can still do business with them."
"Or rather, do you think the people you brought with you can protect you?"
Whether the last two sentences are a reminder or a threat, they are the truth.
Even if the Cloud Village is strong, Killer Bee is the only remaining top fighter. If Killer Bee dies...
The people of Iwagakure must be grinning from ear to ear.
In these attacks, Chiyo killed Yukito and a third of the people in Kumogakure.
Furthermore, Chiyo clearly brought a medical ninja with her, and a very strong one at that.
Even Yugito, a Jinchūriki, couldn't match Chiyo's regenerative abilities.
Furthermore, Chiyo brought Hyuga scouts with him, and they clearly couldn't escape the Hyuga clan's Byakugan reconnaissance.
Without the protection of the Akatsuki, it's hard to say whether he and the other Cloud Village members would have been able to return to their village alive.
By this time, Killer Bee had come to believe that the Akatsuki organization was no longer on the same side as Konoha.
If the Akatsuki doesn't come, he'll be worn down to death here by Chiyo.
Although Killer Bee is usually a bit unreliable, he still knows what's important and how to pay the protection fee.
He thought for a moment and immediately agreed: "Okay, but I can only give you the money when I get to the village."
Without a second thought, Scorpion agreed: "No problem."
The Akatsuki organization is now very powerful and won't even consider whether the Hidden Cloud Village will renege on its debt.
Of course, it's okay to default on your debts.
If someone defaults on a debt, there will be other ways to collect it.
……
After Qianyao withdrew from the combat range, he used his eye technique to summon another clone.
This clone should follow the person hidden in the clouds, and when the opportunity arises, it should be used to launch an attack.
After using Kagura's Mind's Eye, he went to find Karin.
At this moment, Qianyao stood still and covered his eyes as waves of pain swept over him.
Although he had already been very careful with his kaleidoscope eye power.
However, he constantly enters and exits the boundless alternate dimension, Amaterasu, creates new clones, and uses Susanoo in battle.
By now, the fight has reduced his pupil power by half.
The information that overuse of a kaleidoscope can cause blindness is still unknown to the outside world.
Chiyo's chakra and injuries can be restored, but his eye power is not so easy to recover.
His eyes have already shown some symptoms of astigmatism, but it is still within a manageable range.
Killer Bee was deliberately placed there by him to allow the Akatsuki to appear. Besides making money, he also needed to reduce the Cloud Village's wariness of the Akatsuki.
Let Kumogakure know that Akatsuki's stance is that it's about money, not Konoha.
After all, if Kumogakure is afraid of Akatsuki and doesn't go to war with Konoha, how can they possibly inflict a heavy blow on Kumogakure in one fell swoop?
Although the Rinnegan was gone at this point, the outside world did not believe it.
So Chiyo changed his approach and had the Akatsuki help the Cloud Village.
Konoha did indeed lose some money, which conveniently made Kumogakure bleed money and pay some protection fees.
Qianyao took out the Water of Life from his bag and took a sip.
A tremendous surge of life energy rose from within the body.
However, the pain in my eyes only lessened slightly; it still hurt.
He endured the pain and continued on his way.
He quickly found his shadow clone and Karin, who was still awake.
"Didn't I tell you to drink the water of life and hide away to rest?"
Chiyo could tell at a glance that Karin was still somewhat weak.
Karin looked at Chiyo pitifully and said, "I'm worried about Master."
Qianyao's eyes hurt a little, but it didn't affect his spirits.
Knowing that Karin also cared about him, he simply patted Karin's head and said softly:
"Okay, I'm back safe and sound now."
"Drink the water of life, rest for one night, and return tomorrow."
Karin was delighted to hear this: "Ah, so we can go back tomorrow? What about those Cloud Villages?"
"Yukito is dead, they've retreated." Chiyo's casual remark surprised Karin.
In such a large Cloud Village team, with Killer Bee present, Master actually managed to kill the Two-Tails Jinchuriki.
"That's great! Master is amazing!"
Karin knew that Kumogakure was eyeing them covetously, but she never expected that her master would defeat her so easily.
"Hehe, it's not 'I,' it's 'we,' how amazing."
