Chapter 226 Xiao Kakuzu had a premonition that the thunder gun would be fired at his body, and regardless of the heartache of losing his heart, he quickly rolled on the ground in a panic, and at the same time shot out black threads to bind the surrounding trees and pull him. Only then did he narrowly avoid Lu Li's attack without directly stopping the main body's Earth Escape heart. "Natural disaster! Wait! I'm not the enemy!" Seeing that Lu Li was coming to kill again, Kakuzu shouted quickly. While pulling himself with a black thread and escaping like a spider in the forest, he explained, "I'm here to invite you to join the Akatsuki organization. I just tested your strength!" Having lived for more than eighty years, Kakuzu's secret to longevity lies in knowing the current affairs. Facing the weak, he can maintain his gloomy and aloof image as much as he can, give advice and rely on his elders, and brag about the glorious years when he fought against the first generation. When facing strong men, he still knows how to give in. Just like when he found out that he couldn't defeat Senju Hashirama, he ran away in despair without losing any face. "Oh? Invite me?"
After hearing that Jiaozu wanted to invite him to join the Akatsuki organization, the knife in Lu Li's hand stopped in front of Jiaozu's last heart, and he said with a smile, "Your attitude when inviting people is not good enough." In fact, Lu Li had guessed from the beginning that the Akatsuki organization might come to invite him. After all, he was well-known as a rebel ninja and had demonstrated Kage-level strength. There was no reason for the Akatsuki organization to let a reserve like him go. It's just that this guy Kakuzu is obviously interested in his bounty and will take action as soon as he comes up. Lu Li doesn't mind trying to see if he can explode an epic treasure chest. In fact, it doesn't matter if he just kills Kakuzu. The Akatsuki organization is a place where the weak prey on the strong. He can join even if he kills Kakuzu, and he can even take his place. Lu Li pondered for a moment, thought about it, and felt that as the financial manager of the Akatsuki organization, Kakuzu would be useful to his plans in the future, so the tip of the prisoner's knife was gradually withdrawn from Kakua's body, without being inserted into the last heart. Seeing Lu Li sheathing his sword, Kakuzu was relieved. Of course, he also understood that sheathing his sword was just an attitude. Lu Li would not need a sword to kill him at this distance. With Lu Li's unwavering lightning release speed, his current state and distance would not allow him to predict and dodge, and he would be electrocuted into charcoal. Kakuzu used the black string to support half of his body to 'stand up' and looked at Lu Li, "Scourge, your strength is beyond my imagination. I believe the leader will be very satisfied with you." "I haven't said I want to join your organization yet." Lu Li did not agree happily, "What good will this do to me?" Kakuzu was stunned for a moment. To be honest, this was the first time he saw someone ask 'the benefits of joining the Akatsuki organization' It can be said that most of the organization members gathered now have evil intentions and each have their own ideas, but what benefits have they received from the Akatsuki organization? It seems...there really isn't. After all, the Akatsuki organization does not protect its own organization members. Even if they die while performing tasks outside, the organization will not avenge them. Kakuzu felt that he couldn't tell Lu Li about their organization's great dream, right? Dominate the ninja world? Creating real peace through force? He felt that Lu Li was like a murderer who was just worried about the world being in chaos. Would he really be persuaded by this reason? In the final analysis, even he didn't really think that the leader's ideals were very good. He just felt comfortable in the Akatsuki organization, and it didn't hinder him from making money. "Natural Disaster, you may not have been active in the past few years and don't know much about our organization. The leader is definitely the strongest person in the ninja world at present. After joining our organization, you will have all the information and secret techniques." After thinking about it, Kakuzu could only persuade Lu Li with some basic benefits, "As a defecting ninja, you probably don't have anywhere to go. Why don't you come back to the organization with me and have a look."
Seeing that Lu Li was still unmoved, he thought for a while and added, "Besides, our organization usually operates in teams of two. If two masters are together, it will be much safer. Even the five major ninja villages can't keep you, so you don't have to No more worrying about being hunted down by the major ninja villages." He said this because he knew that Lu Li was an international felon like him, and he was the type who would be hunted down by the local ninja village wherever he went. "Oh? Do you want to work in groups? What about your partner?" Lu Li asked playfully. Kakuzu was a little embarrassed, "He had a little accident two days ago." Lu Li looked at Kakuzu's embarrassed look and stopped embarrassing him. He knew that this guy was an old ninja after all, and if he was really in a hurry, he would risk his life to fight with him. Although Lu Li was not afraid of Jiaodu working hard, he still had enough money to use, so he said, "Then I'll go back with you and take a look first." "Natural disaster, you will not regret your decision. The Sannin of Konoha and Orochimaru are also in the Akatsuki organization. I believe you will have many topics in common." On the one hand, Kakuzu said this to make Lu Li relax, and on the other hand, he wanted to give Lu Li a hint. It would be best to let Lu Li team up with Orochimaru in the future. He himself has no teammates now, but he would rather team up with that art madman Xie than team up with someone like Lu Li. "Lead the way." Lu Li nodded and put away the prisoner demon. He was worried that he couldn't find Orochimaru. When he passed by Tian Country before, he searched around and saw no sign of Orochimaru. After arriving at the Akatsuki Organization, it would be easier to find Orochimaru. ………… Half a day later, Lu Li, led by Jiaodu, arrived at a cave. Kakuzu gave Lu Li a ring from the Akatsuki organization, which Pain had given him before he came. The ring was engraved with the word "zhu". Using this ring, Lu Li can also perform the Phantom Body Technique and hold remote meetings of the Akatsuki organization. Nagato will not let Payne meet every new member who joins the organization. In fact, even within the Akatsuki organization, not many people know that the leader of the Akatsuki organization is in the Rain Country. Kakuzu, as the chief financial officer, knows this, but without Payne's order, he will not take Lu Li directly there. Generally speaking, when new members join, they will hold a remote meeting to get to know each other, and then they will form a team in pairs. When there are no mercenary missions, they will do what they should do. After Lu Li was told about the seals used for the spell, he also tried to use the Phantom Body Technique, but failed the first time. Under Kakuzu's strange gaze, Lu Li tried again with concentration and calmness. This time he did not use pure soul source, but tried to use the way of condensing chakra in this world, condensed a part of chakra, and then formed a seal to perform the Phantom Body Technique. Lu Li sighed inwardly that it was really troublesome. He had no intention of switching to the chakra system of this world. There were not many things worth his attention in the Naruto world. The lightning escape secret technique, the Sage Eye, the Sage Body, the Tailed Beast, and the Sage Technique were all he could think of for reference. But leaving aside the secret technique, other things were not closely related to the chakra ninjutsu system. To be honest, the later part of the Naruto manga was a fight between gods. Where are the masters who use chakra seals to fight? They all clap their hands and summon whatever Sage Techniques they want. In front of the Sage Body and the Sage Eye, all kinds of chakra ninjutsu seemed fancy and powerless. On the contrary, the original natural energy system of this planet, that is, the Sage Technique, could still be of some use. Purely compared to the upper limit of the system, the chakra system is a bit far behind the spiritual pressure system of the god of death, so Lu Li was not going to switch to cultivation, but just refer to the secret technique and get something useful for him. Oh, of course, pure god of death also has its limits, but Lu Li thought he could go back and ask Sosuke what he thought.
At this time, after the spell was successfully cast, Lu Li opened his eyes and saw that he was on the finger of the Outer Path Demon Statue, with several figures standing around him. On his left hand was Kakuzu who had recruited him, and on his right hand was Biwa Juzo and another member of the Akatsuki organization he had never seen. Considering that he did not live to see the Akatsuki organization officially active in the original work, he should be quite insignificant. Opposite Lu Li stood Scorpion hidden in the Scarlet Flow Amber, and next to Scorpion stood Orochimaru, who was staring at him with a burning gaze, with an uncomfortable smile on his face, and licked the corner of his mouth with his long tongue. I don’t know if this is a friendly gesture. "Natural Disaster, welcome to join." The voice came from the first one, attracting Lu Li's attention. It was the Tendou Pain controlled by Nagato. Below him stood a woman, who was Konan representing "White". "Are we the only ones? I thought it was a big organization." Lu Li pretended to be unfamiliar with the Akatsuki organization and asked. There were only eight people on the scene, including him. Konan and Pein usually didn't go out on missions. Orochimaru was doing scientific research all day, Scorpion was studying puppet making all day, and Kakuzu was obsessed with making money. So, it is very likely that the only people who usually do their missions in the Akatsuki organization are the group of Biwa Juzo. The Akatsuki organization, which is well-known in the underground ninja world, now has a total of eight people, and only two of them are working well... "We only need masters, and the weak ones are just a burden." Pein said, "Since you are here, it means Kakuzu has already explained the general situation to you. I will tell you the goals and plans of the Akatsuki organization." "Please speak." Lu Li was very polite and wanted to know whether Nagato's goals had changed because of the influence of the explorer. "First, we need to gather a lot of money to prepare for the future. The second step is to be a mercenary organization that does not belong to any country, to provoke some small wars, to monopolize the war commissions of small countries at low prices, to increase the scale of the war, and then to break the ninja system of big countries and monopolize all wars." Pain said briefly, "At present, we have done a good job in the first two steps. Kakuzu has prepared a lot of funds for us, and as a mercenary organization, we are already very famous." Hearing this, Lu Li asked, "Where do we use our money?" Pain was silent for a moment and glanced at Xiaonan, "For war reserves." Lu Li wanted to complain a little, thinking that you didn't use all of it to make detonating talismans? Kakuzu would cry if he knew that you spent so much money. "Natural Disaster, be patient. Our second step is going smoothly, and our ultimate goal is to dominate the world with absolute force and eliminate war forever." Pain said, "For this, we have to start collecting tailed beasts now." Lu Li fell into deep thought after listening to Payne's words. He found that the world had indeed changed a lot. The Akatsuki organization became active ahead of time and started collecting tailed beasts six or seven years earlier, which did not give Naruto's generation time to grow up. But this is a good thing for him. After all, if he wants to kill the Soul Eater, hunting tailed beasts is a must. With the Akatsuki organization providing him with intelligence and support, it will be much easier to act. As for the psychological burden, he has been hunted by ninjas from the five major countries along the way. He is really a rat crossing the street. Although his starting identity is a bit pitfall, he has no habit of not fighting back when being beaten. Capturing the Jinchūriki of the five major countries is definitely a heavy punch. "Natural Disaster, do you have any objection to our plan?" Tian Dao stared at Lu Li with his eyes of reincarnation. Lu Li shrugged, "It doesn't matter. I just want to find a place to stay. Kakuzu said that there are many secret techniques in the organization and all kinds of information can be obtained. If I can get what I want, why not help the organization?"
Tian Dao nodded with satisfaction after hearing Lu Li's answer, "Then you will act with Kakuzu for the time being."
