Naruto Shadow King Ch 161 : It's Quite A Story...
🕑 Added 2024-12-24 07:10:19 +0000 UTCKakuzu's biggest trouble was his current partner, Hidan. Never have he loathed the word immortality more than today. He can’t even kill the Jashin Worshipper who constantly blabbers about joining his religion, irritating him.
Apparently, this was the real reason he was paired with Hidan in the first place, or else Akatsuki might have kept losing capable thugs in their eternal goal to bring peace in this accursed world.
“What are you thinking Kakuzu, why are we again here in this smelly outdoor toilet ?” Hidan made a nasty face as he whined once again.
Unlike Kakuzu, who finds pleasure in materialism, namely money, Hidan is a simple man, all he cared about pleasing is god Jashin.
However, the peculiar way to please the said god was to kill and sacrifice others. And in return, Jashin gave him immortality.
“If you don’t want to come in then stay outside, I’ll be back in no time…” Kakuzu said off-handedly.
They had gone through this conversation too many times already, and he no longer desired to play along with him anymore, he was here to get a bounty which would be worth his time while staying stationed here in the land of hot waters.
Leader told him to remain near this place as soon as their plan was about to start. Both he and Hidan were tasked to target the second tail, simultaneously when the first tail would be targeted.
They were here becuase the land of Waters is the only landmass which connects the land of Lightning with other places. However, until the plan doesn’t starts, he had to remain here. This was boring and a waste of time. He could make so much more money if he take task right now.
Thus, he was here to take a bounty.
“Don’t do anything troublesome, I have a reputation in the black market, you will pay if you cause any trouble for me…Hidan…” Kakuzu, knowing his partner well made sure to put the threat right in before he went on a killing spree in the name of his God Jashin.
“Yeah yeah… How many times are you gonna repeat that, its getting old. Go and be done with your bounty work already. One you are done then let's go to any nearby town or village, its been so long since I gave an offering to my god Jashin.” Hidan replied with an annoyed tone, a slightly childish tone and even pouting a little.
But, if anyone dared to think that this person was harmless then that would be the last mistake they would make in their life.
Kakuzu just snorted and after giving another glance at Hidan, he entered into the black market through the hidden gate.
However, just as he entered, two figures got out from the black market simultaneously, something which Kakuzu surely noticed but didn’t heed much attention to, he wasn’t the only bounty hunter after all.
What he failed to notice though, was that those two fingers were heading directly at Hidan’s direction.
“We better lure him a little away from this place, the black market has its own hidden force, we don’t want to alter them and draw Kakuzu’s attention to us before we are done with Hidan.”

[Hidden Waterfall Village]
As long as Fuu could remember, she was alone, hated, disgusted and distant from others.
But, that was her fate, the fate of a Jinchuriki, a human sacrifice who host a monster inside them. She used to have a friend, but even he long had abandoned her. So, now she live alone even in a closed off village of the waterfall. Where almost all the people knew each other, and lived like family. However, she was the only exception.
Here, she had no family, no friends, no comrades. She was all alone.
Her usually bubbly personality was nothing but her way to avoid her loneliness.
So, just like usual, she was living alone, far away from others. Humming to herself, all alone and cheerfully playing with an imaginary friend.
“What do you think Muu. Will anything interesting happen today ?” Fuu asked as she stared at the straw doll she created.
“It will be interesting if you stop fooling around with that doll, stop acting like a kid and get out of this village. Why waste your life in here, when an entire world is for you to explore. You can make real friends there you know.” Suddenly a voice came, alerting both Fuu and the Biju inside her who usually leave Fuu alone to fool around and play alone.
Both were startled since the person who said this appeared in Fuu’s house, which was pretty hidden and far away from the village, without either of them sensing him.
This means that the man in front of them was dangerous. Though looking at him again, calling him a man was a little too much, he was almost the same age as Fuu herself.
“Who are you ?” Asked Fuu, while her Biju was ready to take action any time. Out of all the Jinchuriki, there were only a few who could bond with their Biju well. Fuu was among the few who were able to.
“Just a traveller. Nothing extraordinary….” Said the man with a smile on his face. It didn’t feel like he was hostile, however, Fuu also had gotten formal Kunoichi training and knew that appearances could be deceiving in this world.
“What do you want…” Fuu who usually acts cheerful, looked tense and on guard.
“Well, before anything else, let me introduce myself first. I’m Shika… Nice to meet you.” Said the man with a grin on his face.
“I’m Fuu.” Fuu too just replied without any hesitation, maybe a little happy about someone finally talking to her.
“Ah, a good name…and what you friend.” Shika smiled and asked while looking directly at Fuu, but in reality, he was looking what was inside her.
Fuu at this blink, a little confuse seeing there was no one there beside both of them and a little cautious at how Shika was looking at her.
‘Do he know…’ she wondered.
“Let's go and talk with him, what you say…” Shika saw her hesitation and confusion said, and the next second her perception distorted, everything went blank for few seconds and then she found herself in a large empty room. This was her inner mind, she has been here before but only when she had to talk with her Biju.
However, beside the giant insect like looking seven tail, there was one more person beside her.
“Hello Ms Chomei, or it that mister…” Shika said, as he was the one who brought Fuu inside her mind using his Sharingan.
“You, how do you know my name ?” Chomei hasn’t had no idea who the man was, but he was able to get inside his inner mind palace. This alone was enough to classify him as dangerous, but he wasn’t even expecting that the man or the kid would even know his real name.
“Chomei, do you know him ?” Fuu asked, seeing how the man was talking with her Biju like they were friends.
“No, this is the first time I am meeting either of you. As for how come I know your name or why I’m here. Well that is quite a story. Mind hearing…” Shika still had a calm look on his face, he never planned to take Fuu away from here against her will.
Saving her from the Akatsuki was the real goal, even if temporary if she was ready to leave this village then he could protect her.
However, to do so, he has to first win her trust the truth of the seventh tail.
“Why should I even bother when I could just kill you right here.” Chomei much like any other Biju wasn’t good-tempered unless there was a reason.
Powerful chakra leak from the Biju behind the bars, directed right at Shika. Shika felt like he was getting targeted by a beast right now, like the gravity around him increased and it became harder to breathe, though only slightly.
“True, you can. However, I believe that after hearing what I have to say, you will not.” Shika replied calmly and waited for any response.
Chomei on the other side was hesitating, It was not like Chomei really can kill Shika, Shika mostly played alongside with the ill-tempered Biju but in reality, Chomei just like Kurama was a prisoner here and couldn’t do anything.
Until Fuu takes action of course, though a jinchuriki, a biju could interact and even kill Shika.
However, the boy in front of him knew his real name. This alone made Chomei, serious and not act rashly.
“Maybe this might help you decide.” Upon seeing Chomei’s indecision, Shika activated his Rinnegan, his eyes started to turn and a blue Rinnegan appeared on his eyes, making Chomei freeze in his place.
“Those Eyes…. How do you…” Chomei all but stuttered to ask this, looking at Shika with both surprise and horror.
“You’ll know if you listen, as I said, its quite a story…”
