Just as Shinji was immersed in killing monsters and farming Cursed Soul Points, two uninvited guests arrived in this dilapidated town.
The two were wearing black trench coats embroidered with red clouds and conical hats with wind chimes attached.
Although their figures could not be seen under the wide trench coats, a glimpse through the conical hats revealed that it was a male-female combination.
"Is this the town rumored to have monsters?"
"Yeah."
"Doesn't look like anything special."
"Pain is just preparing for a rainy day. After all, it's too close. Even if it's not related to the Tailed Beasts, we need to investigate it thoroughly."
"Heh, I don't care about that. I'm just curious if the corpses of these monsters can sell for a good price."
"Don't be too careless, I don't want to take your corpse back."
"No one can kill me."
"I hope the leader won't be angry when he hears that."
"He won't care about that kind of thing. After all, there's a difference between gods and humans."
"."
This flattery was so unexpected that Konan gave him a speechless look, her lips moved slightly, but in the end, she didn't say anything.
And Kakuzu smiled inwardly, "Little girl, you're still too green!"
The two were silent for a while, and the topic ended there.
However, their pace into the town did not slow down.
Just as they were wondering whether to split up to search and investigate, a disgusting thing like snot shot towards them at an extremely fast speed.
Konan frowned slightly when she saw this, and then unobtrusively moved back half a step.
The meaning was already very clear.
Kakuzu noticed this with his peripheral vision, his mouth twitched slightly, but he still stepped forward and began to quickly form hand seals.
"Fire Release: Intelligent Hard Work!"
Facing an enemy with unknown abilities, Kakuzu was not careless at all, and a sea of fire immediately swept out.
Then they saw that the 'snot' seemed to have encountered a natural enemy and directly melted...
It was directly killed without even a scream.
Kakuzu, who had attacked, even felt that his five hearts were a little empty.
That's it?
Looking at Konan, neither of them made such a hasty judgment.
Continuing forward, a spherical grotesque object with a human face printed on it suddenly flew over from a distance.
It was still Kakuzu who stood up this time. He pulled out the black threads on his arm and released some of his combat power.
Tentacle Fist!
Bang!
The human head balloon was directly blown up with one punch.
Clap.
Kakuzu, who had retracted his fist, looked at Konan again. Konan was also very depressed at this time, but she still calmly said: "After all, it's just a rumor, let's take another look."
"Whatever."
Kakuzu suddenly lost interest.
Such weak things probably wouldn't be worth much money.
Then suddenly there was a violent vibration in front of them, as if some behemoth was running.
Looking up, they found that it was actually a group of strange-looking things with mouths and resembling hippos running around frantically, as if some terrible guy was chasing them.
Kakuzu didn't pay attention to these details this time, or rather, he didn't care anymore.
Seeing that Konan was still looking like she was on 'vacation', he had no choice but to curl his lips and do it himself.
"Lightning Release: False Darkness!"
A masked monster squeezed out of his body, and then released a terrifyingly powerful sharp lightning spear from its mouth.
Before the running hippo monster could run to Kakuzu and Konan, it was hit by the lightning spear. A lightning bolt pierced out of its mouth, and another lightning bolt didn't know where it hit, causing it to let out a shrill scream and crash to the ground.
Weak, too weak!
Kakuzu was really a little unhappy this time. He wasted his precious time for something like this?
"Let's go, there's no need to continue investigating this kind of thing..."
"Damn it! Who the hell did that?!"
Before Kakuzu could finish speaking, an angry and upset voice interrupted him.
Frowning, he saw that a person walked out from behind the hippo monster, carrying a huge and exaggerated knife on his shoulder.
This person was Shinji, who was killing monsters everywhere!
If Kakuzu and Konan had paid attention, they would have found that the previous snot monster, human head balloon, and hippo monster had all come from the same direction.
Shinji, relying on the advantage of his 'radar', was almost about to kill all the Cursed Spirits here.
The remaining Cursed Spirits, seeing that they were doomed to die, actually decided to fight him as a group.
But the problem was that they couldn't win!
So when they finally collapsed, this mess scattered and fled.
Shinji didn't want to let any of them go, and killed them desperately, picking the 'valuable' ones to kill. If it wasted time to chase after those too weak [Grade 4 Cursed Spirits] and [Grade 3 Cursed Spirits], he wouldn't chase them.
And this hippo monster was the last [Grade 2 Cursed Spirit], worth 300 Cursed Soul Points!
After freeing up his hands, Shinji chased after it as soon as possible.
But he didn't expect to be intercepted!
Except for Hidan, who was in a team with him by default, he wouldn't get any Cursed Soul Points for the Cursed Spirits killed by others.
This was very annoying!
It felt like 300 Cursed Soul Points had slipped through his fingers, a big loss!
So that's what happened just now.
He wanted to see who was so bold as to dare to steal his monsters!
Walking out and taking a look, ho, this outfit was too memorable.
"Kid, watch your mouth. Otherwise, I'll pull out your tongue and use it to strangle you." Kakuzu glared, his killing intent overflowing.
"Interesting, you're the first person who dares to talk to me like that."
Shinji laughed. If it were someone else in the Akatsuki organization, he might have been a little nervous.
Kakuzu?
Not enough to watch.
The main reason was that Shinji knew this guy's fatal weaknesses too well.
As long as there wasn't a group of idiots lined up to give Kakuzu their hearts, he was completely confident that he could win this fight.
Of course, the premise was that Konan in the back didn't get excited, and it wouldn't be good if she attracted the Six Paths of Pain.
He didn't want to feel pain right now, and he couldn't carry the rice up a few floors.
"Kid, go to hell and repent. Because you've provoked someone you shouldn't have."
Kakuzu unceremoniously spouted nonsense, and punched out a tentacle fist.
Swish!
Unbelievably, the huge Kubikiribōchō in Shinji's hand lightly twirled a sword flower, and then accurately cut off Kakuzu's flying right hand.
"You stole my prey and you're still so arrogant. If I don't kill you today, I won't be able to answer Hidan that idiot when I get back."
Shinji raised the Kubikiribōchō in his hand, pointing directly at Kakuzu, whose face was a little gloomy.
Konan frowned when she saw this and immediately stepped forward, but she was immediately stopped.
"Konan, don't interfere. I'm going to give this ignorant kid a hard lesson and make him regret living in this world."
Kakuzu was angry.
Konan thought for a while and still gave up the battlefield.
Anyway, with Kakuzu's special nature, plus her watching from the side, everything was under control.
