This can be considered a warning to Kakuzu.
Kakuzu snorted coldly, his gaze sweeping over the ashen-faced monk.
The Earthly Wraith broke away and began to kill indiscriminately.
...
After the fire at the Temple of Fire.
The surrounding villages noticed.
The villagers came upon hearing the news, only to find the gates of the Fire Temple tightly closed.
The newly constructed sealed iron wall is impenetrable unless opened from the inside.
.........................
Then, sounds of battle and screams came from inside.
The villagers wisely avoided the situation; even the ninja monks of the Fire Temple were no match for them, and their attempt to go would only result in their deaths.
The crowd could only watch from afar as the Fire Temple was gradually engulfed by flames.
At dawn, the monks who had gone out rushed back.
Inside the Temple of Fire, embers still lingered, and the air was filled with the smell of burning.
The monks lifted the seals and stepped inside.
The moment he stepped inside, his face turned as white as a sheet of paper.
The monks' remains were piled up in one place, burned beyond recognition.
It was difficult to distinguish who was who, nor was it known how many had died.
The unpleasant burning smell was coming from here.
The monk searched everywhere in a daze, only to find that there wasn't a single living person in sight.
What exactly happened? Who did it...?
His thoughts were in disarray, and he didn't notice that the door had quietly closed.
A tree branch suddenly pierced his chest.
He collapsed, his face filled with disbelief.
Black Zetsu carried the monk's corpse and threw it into the still-burning flames.

It then slowly sank into the ground.

Land of Fire
After the Temple of Fire was destroyed.
Obito arranged for Kakuzu and the others to meet and told them that they should cooperate with each other in the future.
But he didn't specify how the collaboration would take place.
In an attempt to win over Kakuzu, Obito gave him Jiraiya's corpse and told him to exchange it for money at the exchange.
Kakuzu appears to be a lone wolf, but in reality, he has spore-shaped White Zetsu attached to his body for surveillance.
With a large hole in his chest, Kakuzu had no choice but to put him in a bag and carry him on his back.
The bag was stained with blood and had a faint smell.
But Kakuzu had no time to care about the stench.
His current concern is how to break free from Obito's control.
Kakuzu appears to be free, but he is fully aware that he is being watched.
He still recognized Guang among the organization's top members.
Chapter 207 Kakuzu! Surprise! Nagato!
Only now did he realize that Zetsu was actually one of Obito's men.
Despite the bounty of 30 million on Jiraiya, he had no desire to work for Obito.
Since we cannot contact the leader at the moment.
There is only one way.
Finally, a toilet appeared ahead.
He had been to this place many times before and was familiar with the people there.
Kakuzu went inside carrying a bag containing corpses.
He pressed a button next to the urinal, and the wall panel next to it opened, revealing a familiar face in Kakuzu—the bald man with a scar on his brow.
Kakuzu was secretly delighted; thankfully, it was still the same person.
Upon seeing that it was Kakuzu, the bald man greeted him with unusual enthusiasm:
"Brother Kakuzu, it's been a long time. Please come in."
Kakuzu slowly walked in and took out the body.
The bald man, referring to the manual, exclaimed in surprise:
"Isn't this Jiraiya of the Fire Temple? It's worth thirty million!"
"We've caught a big fish this time, Brother Kakuzu."
"Hehehehe..."
"997"
Kakuzu let out a satisfied laugh.
"Let's check it out, the usual procedure."
The bald man paused for a moment, then bowed and replied:
"Don't worry, Brother Kakuzu, I'll make sure you get everything done clearly."
The bald man gave a quick check and said to Diablo:
"Brother Kakuzu, could you please preserve the body more intact next time? This hole is so big, it's not easy to store it."
Kakuzu stepped forward somewhat displeased and probed the hole in Jiraiya's chest with his finger to measure it.
"Okay, I'll be more careful next time."
Kakuzu pulled his hand out and shook it.
The bald man nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Kakuzu. Here's thirty million."
As he spoke, the bald man walked to the next room and brought out a huge money box.
Kakuzu opened the money box, glanced at it, and then closed it again.
He made a satisfied "hmm" sound.
"I'll come to you again next time I have business."
After saying that, Kakuzu picked up the money and left.
The bald man understood without even counting the horns.
After the corners of the room have gone far away.
The bald man quickly dragged Di Lu's body into the inner room and reached inside to search the body.
Soon enough, they found a hidden secret letter.
When the bald man unfolded it, he saw that it was covered with tiny characters woven from Kakuzu's earth-grim silk threads.
After reading the contents, the bald man's expression changed from surprise to seriousness.
So that's how it is. No wonder Brother Kakuzu stopped counting his money.
Looks like I'll have to make the trip myself.

Of the five great nations, the strongest is currently the Country of Fields.
Especially in the economic sphere, it comprehensively suppresses neighboring small countries.
The number of missions completed by the ninja village has also made it one of the best among small countries.
