Chapter 319 A tirade against the Akatsuki!
Just in time for his "grand plan," Li Muyang also planned to give a heads-up.
Okay, here's the notification! Whether you agree or not is irrelevant! Just don't use your abilities later!
During this time, Li Muyang went to see the Akatsuki members who had been captured.
"What's your decision?" Upon arriving at Konoha's prison, Li Muyang asked the Akatsuki members.
Nagato glanced at Li Muyang and said, "Let's see what the dream world you've described is like first."
Li Muyang nodded. Okay.
Nagato is definitely not going to escape; he's right here, and his chakra has been sealed. In exchange, Konan went to work as a network administrator with Pakura. At least she has her freedom and isn't worried about him running away, since Nagato is right here.
With Jiraiya there, the two of them weren't worried about being made things difficult.
Ultimately, it was Li Muyang who brought them hope for peace, and they couldn't bear to just run away like that; they wanted to at least see if it was feasible.
The education level in the ninja world is still too low. No matter how smart a person is, when it comes to implementing a plan, they will fight if they are not convinced.
Fight it, win it, and everything will be resolved.
Then, looking at the others, Li Muyang said, "And you... if you want to go back to your respective villages, we can help you contact your villages and, if the price is right, we can redeem you."
Ok?
The Akatsuki members were completely dumbfounded. What? Redeem them?
"What's wrong? Still thinking of eating and staying for free?" Li Muyang crossed his arms and complained with a look of disgust, "Don't you guys consume resources living in Konoha Prison? These past few days' accommodation fees, food fees, management fees, property fees, and compensation for the damage to Konoha's public green spaces..."
Li Muyang rattled off a series of expenses like a mantra, making the masked old man's face turn green!
Kakuzu (ノ￣д￣)ノ: How much is the fine for this?!
Of course, everyone is different!
"Why is this kid more expensive than me?!" Sasori shouted angrily, pointing at Deidara who was grinning smugly to the side. He then turned to Juzo Biwa, who was watching the drama unfold, and complained indignantly, "And why am I fined the same as this weakling?!"
Loquat Juzo looked completely innocent. "Did I bother you?"
Li Muyang said expressionlessly, "To be honest, the fines you each imposed were actually determined based on the level of threat you each posed."
This made Sasori even more annoyed; even the expressionless puppet could sense his irritation: "You mean I'm much weaker than this kid?! Like Juzo Biwa?!"
Now, not only Deidara, but even Juzo Biwa couldn't hold back anymore! What's wrong with me being weak? Did I embarrass the organization? At least I saved the organization money!
Li Muyang remained expressionless and explained, "Hehe... Let me put it this way, I might need to use more effort to deal with others, but to deal with you, a chakra-sealing talisman and a chakra-blocking array will send you straight to the Pure Land to meet your parents!"
"Without chakra, you're dead... To be precise, I even question whether you're still alive! Your so-called puppets are just toys in my eyes!"
As he spoke, to prove he wasn't just boasting, Li Muyang snapped his fingers, and several teleportation portals appeared around him. Several exquisite and agile humanoid robot waiters crossed the portals and appeared on this side.
Scorpion initially looked down on it, but soon fell into deep thought, then gradually became shocked, and finally stared in disbelief, unable to close his mouth!
Puppetry with independent consciousness, acting exactly like a living person?! And multiple of them?! And you can even sense a threat emanating from these beings?!
Pointing to the robotic attendant beside him, Li Muyang said smugly, "I can make as many robots as I need! And they'll be manufactured on a production line! If I could, I could raise an army of robots! And all I need to do is give orders! They're way more advanced than your puppets, aren't they?"
"You call this eternal art... Aren't you ashamed! How long can your few puppet dolls last? They'll all age and decay after a while, won't they? How flexible are they? Without your control, they're just decorations! Is this how you play with puppets? Your art isn't even as good as Nagato's Six Paths of Pain! Short-sighted! Hopeless!"
With just a few words, Scorpion was thoroughly humiliated, and the young people were all being made emo, leaving him speechless for a moment.
In terms of puppetry, what Old Li casually made is indeed far superior to his! Each of his puppets is a carefully nurtured treasure, while each one of Li Muyang's is more exquisite and powerful than his trump cards!
Most importantly, his skills are indeed inferior to those of Pain! Even Nagato is better at manipulating puppets than him!
Deidara, who was standing nearby, wanted to say something sarcastic, but Li Muyang immediately turned his gun on him and started yelling: "And you, you explosive terrorist! Running around with explosives! Don't you know that if you use a bomb to hurt people, Onoki will come knocking on your door, and if you set fire to the mountain, Deidara will be finished? Over there! Someone like you should have been shot a hundred or eighty times over!"
"I know to hold my fireworks far away so I don't damage the flowers and plants, but you! You always choose crowded places! Do you think that's why your compensation is so high? It's because you've damaged the most public property! So what are you so smug about? You need to reflect on your actions! I'm going to find that old geezer Onoki one of these days and teach you a lesson!"
Deidara (ー△ー；):……
The rebellious teenager lowered his head silently, because he already knew Li Muyang, the one who set off fireworks in space before. In addition, he saw the scene where Li Muyang set off fireworks with two Otsutsuki, even though he was far away.
In terms of "the art of explosion," Deidara was completely outmatched by Li Muyang. Furthermore, when Old Li mentioned Onoki, the rebellious teenager still harbored some fear of his grandfather.
To be precise, it's because of the ambitious declaration he made when he left the village that year, and now he's unwilling to let Onoki see him in his current wretched and destitute state.
Speaking of which, the Akatsuki organization actually had a talkative Hidan...
Yeah, he got so frustrated by Kugizaki Nobara that he became depressed!
His immortality is equivalent to that of a zombie with self-awareness. Apart from that, his body can still feel pain, and the speed at which his body heals is actually similar to that of an ordinary person, with no significant difference. If Kakuzu hadn't helped him stitch his body back together, it would have been difficult for him to recover even if he were torn to pieces.
Therefore, there are only two ways to kill Hidan.
One of them, if beaten to ashes, would surely die.
One strike, straight to the soul! Targeting Hidan's soul!
Perfect timing! Kugizaki Nobara's technique is a perfect counter to Hidan!
The pain that strikes straight to the soul is unreliable, even for a masochistic Hidan who treats pain as pleasure! After being hit a few times by Nail-nee's full-power spells, Hidan became withdrawn.
If it weren't for the fact that his body was still moving, maintaining basic breathing, and his eyes were blinking from time to time, Li Muyang would have suspected that he had become a vegetable!
Li Muyang couldn't be bothered with a cultist, and the other members of Akatsuki weren't interested in Hidan either. He'd leave it to Orochimaru to deal with; he believed Orochimaru would be very interested in Hidan.
Finally, only Kakuzu and Kisame Hoshigaki remained.
Noticing Li Muyang's gaze, the two immediately sat up straight, cold sweat dripping from their foreheads. Who told Li Muyang to shut them up so badly the moment he opened his mouth?
Finally, Li Muyang's gaze fell on Kakuzu first.
Kakuzu: Oh no! This is bad!
However, Li Muyang spoke up: "Master Kakuzu, if I may ask, when you fought the First Hokage, did you really throw a shuriken from 800 miles away?"
Kakuzu: Huh?
Others ⊙(?◇?)？: Huh?!
A moment of silence fell over the entire arena, then Kakuzu let out an indignant roar: "What the hell! Who the hell spread this rumor! I clearly fought against the First Hokage's wooden clone! What do you mean by throwing a shuriken from 800 miles away? Do you think I'm that kind of person?!"
Hmm, that seems pretty reasonable.
Despite his fear of death, Kakuzu declared that he wouldn't stoop to throwing shuriken from 800 miles away!
After asking this interesting question, ignoring the indignant old man Kakuzu, Minato Namikaze said that Konoha is now rich and needs a clean-living, honest and upright finance minister. He is going to persuade Kakuzu to do the work and let him handle it!
...All I can say is that they have really good taste.
Li Muyang looked at the last person, Kisame Hoshigaki.
"Now that Mei Terumi is the Mizukage of Kirigakure, if you want to go back, Konoha can help you make the arrangements. Of course, you still have to pay the fine, but you can pay it off for now."
Kisame Hoshigaki was surprised by Li Muyang's politeness. After a moment of silence, he gave a bitter smile and said, "Sigh... do I still have the right to go back?"
Li Muyang rolled his eyes: "Zabuza went back, so why can't you go back? Kirigakure is in a critical period of needing manpower right now! Mei Terumi would love for you to go back with your Kage-level strength."
Yes, it was Minato Namikaze who did this, after all, he kidnapped Haku Mizuki.
The Hidden Mist Village was devastated by Obito's actions, suffering a severe loss of high-end combat power. Some died, some were disheartened, and some defected. Its true strength has fallen to the bottom of the five major Kage villages, and the Hidden Sand Village is probably even slightly stronger than the Hidden Mist Village.
It's fortunate that their location is not good, otherwise they would have been swallowed up by other shadow villages around them long ago!
In other words, Minato Namikaze had no interest in annexing Kirigakure; he wanted to first make the Land of Fire wealthy! The enemies of the ninja world came from the universe.
Although Mei Terumi doesn't say it, she has a pretty good relationship with Minato Namikaze. But for the sake of the village, she has to use some tricks. Therefore, she has to take back some of the former rogue ninja. Whether they can be trusted or not is another matter. The most important thing is to ensure that Kirigakure is not short of people!
As you've probably all noticed, one member is missing.
Yes, that's right, it's Obito.
Don't worry, he passed away peacefully.
Given what he did before, Minato Namikaze could never forgive him! He's already a dead man on the social level anyway! It's safest to die quietly!
Of course, Obito himself had no objection, so it was a semi-voluntary situation. Was he committing suicide?
