Seeing that Kakuzu had completely lost his will to fight in the hands of Susanoo, Mikoto and the Misaka Sisters gathered around.
0070 asked in confusion, "Isn't it said that Uchiha Madara defected from the village many years ago? Why did this strange black-thread-worm Ninja say that Big Brother Fucheng is Uchiha Madara?"
Mikoto looked at Fucheng with a face full of admiration and answered with a smile, "Because Big Brother Fucheng's strength is far beyond his imagination. In his understanding, probably only Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara could possess such powerful strength."
Hearing Mikoto's words, Kakuzu was even more astonished in his heart.
"If he isn't Uchiha Madara, then is he really a young Ninja? But this kind of strength is simply too heaven-defying! Isn't that even more terrifying?"
Fucheng wasn't afraid of Kakuzu resisting. Susanoo casually threw Kakuzu to the ground, and Fucheng, keeping his Mangekyo active, stood before Kakuzu like this.
"Kakuzu, I am the current Uchiha clan head, not Uchiha Madara."
Kakuzu was deeply shaken.
"You are the 'Demon Eye' Uchiha Fucheng, who is marked with a bounty of seventy million ryo on the black market's bounty list?"
Fucheng was highly interested. "Demon Eye? I do indeed have such a nickname. I didn't expect the bounty on the black market to be so high."
Kakuzu retracted the black tentacles of Earth Grudge Fear, returning to his human form once again.
"Clan Leader Fucheng, I accept my defeat. Whatever work you have for me, I can promise to work for you for three years."
For a long-lived Ninja like Kakuzu, as long as he could keep living, it didn't matter who he worked for.
He viewed Uchiha Fucheng as an exceptionally powerful client from the black market; in any case, Kakuzu was never picky about jobs.
Fucheng smiled and said, "Actually, it's not that complicated. And if you work for me, I will likewise pay you a handsomely rich mission bounty."
Deactivating his Mangekyo, the oppressive feeling that Uchiha Fucheng had just exuded slowly faded away.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Kakuzu breathed a small sigh of relief.
"A total of three things. First, help me collect orphans with special bloodline limits. If there are bloodline limit children with parents, you can bring their parents along, but you cannot artificially murder to create orphans. I will reward you with corresponding mission rewards based on their talent level."
Kakuzu nodded. He hadn't expected this young Uchiha clan head to have such a high moral baseline.
"Second, help me gather information on Ninjas from the major hidden villages and black market bounties. For this Ninja information and corresponding intelligence, I can pay you a fixed mission fee every month."
Although he didn't know Uchiha Fucheng's intentions, Kakuzu felt that this task would be very easy to complete.
As long as he paid attention to collecting bounty information in his daily life and recorded necessary details when encountering certain Ninjas, it could be easily accomplished.
"Third, help me anonymously establish an organization that doesn't actually exist. For now, you will claim to be the organization's treasurer, and I will contact you regularly.
[Remember the fastest novel site on the entire network, read good books on 101kanshu.com, super worry-free]
If necessary, you will use this organization's name to help me post bounties and recruit rogue Ninjas."
Kakuzu was somewhat puzzled. "I can understand establishing an organization, but is this organization just a virtual one in name only? Will we only use it for bounties?"
Fucheng continued to explain, "It will be called the [Akatsuki Organization]. Besides making it convenient to post anonymous bounties and anonymously handle things that are inconvenient for me to do myself..."
...the initial goal of this organization can be declared to the public as achieving peace in the Ninja World through violent means. The organization's creed is [Non-Aggression, Defensive Rescue]."
Kakuzu understood everything before that, but he didn't understand "Non-Aggression, Defensive Rescue" at all.
"These are just nominal creeds for the organization, making it convenient for you to declare to the outside world.
[Non-Aggression] means opposing unjust wars of aggression and plunder.
[Defensive Rescue] means supporting just wars of defense and punitive action."
Uchiha Fucheng temporarily placed Mozi's theory of peace onto the Akatsuki Organization.
With this explanation, Kakuzu understood a bit. "Konoha has a superior geographical environment. As a result, only other nations would desire to attack Konoha. Basically, Konoha wouldn't think of invading desert or mountainous places like the Land of Wind or the Land of Lightning."
Kakuzu's eyes lit up, feeling that he understood Uchiha Fucheng's intention.
"In that case, the Akatsuki Organization's target of assistance can only be Konoha, while the targets of assassination, counterattacks, and harassment can only be those surrounding nations with stronger intentions of war."
Fucheng smiled and waved his hand. "It hasn't reached that point yet. I'm just having you establish the organization under this name first. I don't actually want to create a secret society that can interfere in wars."
Kakuzu didn't seem to quite believe Uchiha Fucheng's explanation.
But he felt that he understood the other party's intention.
Fucheng handed Kakuzu an enlarged snail-shaped creature, making Kakuzu freeze in surprise.
"What is this?"
Fucheng introduced how to use the den den mushi, which Kakuzu found exceptionally miraculous.
"Real-time communication across the entire Ninja World? This is too incredible. Does it only need to be fed some ordinary food?"
Fucheng nodded in confirmation. "Yes, just like a normal creature, simply feeding it fruits and vegetables is enough. The den den mushi is resistant to heat and cold, can tolerate coarse feed, and has strong disease resistance."
Fucheng also tapped twice on Kakuzu's Earth Grudge Fear body, and a faint, flickering lightning symbol gradually faded into Kakuzu's body.
"This is?" Kakuzu shrunk back in some fear, worriedly touching the exposed parts of Earth Grudge Fear.
Fucheng did not hide his purpose, but instead explained it quite openly.
"It's just a space-time Ninjutsu marker, making it easy for my people to find you at any time. Only I can perceive this Ninjutsu marker, so you don't need to worry too much.
Actually, this was a byproduct that Uchiha Fucheng had developed while researching the Flying Thunder God Slash.
Although he failed to successfully learn the Flying Thunder God, Fucheng could use his own space-time fluctuations (the minor Kamui dimension) to place a hidden special marker on a set target.
If Fucheng used the ocular power of his Mangekyo to apply the marker, the marker's concealment would be even better.
Kakuzu's mind churned with various guesses, but when one is under another's roof, one must bow one's head.
Since he couldn't defeat the opponent and had accepted the three-year work commitment, Kakuzu was even less in a position to firmly refuse Fucheng's space-time marker.
"Fine, I agree to all three tasks of Lord Fucheng."
Uchiha Fucheng smiled and nodded, lightly patting Kakuzu's shoulder as he handed over two large bags of items.
Kakuzu: "These are?"
Fucheng smiled and said, "They are the funds for the organization's preparation, as well as the intelligence-gathering expenses advanced to you in advance."
Kakuzu opened the bags. The small blue bag was filled with ultra-high denomination currency universal to the Ninja World.
These could be exchanged for cash in the major cities of the Five Great Nations.
As for the other large green bag, when opened, it contained a massive amount of explosive tags bundled into stacks.
Looking at such a vast quantity of explosive tags, even Kakuzu felt it was dangerous, and the corner of his eye twitched.
With such a large quantity of explosive tags, a single careless mistake could level this entire mountain.
Kakuzu guiltily stole a glance at the other party, only to find that Uchiha Fucheng showed absolutely no fear, handing over so many explosive tags to him very casually.
This relaxed attitude naturally demonstrated Uchiha Fucheng's immense strength, showing he wasn't afraid of Kakuzu turning against him.
Kakuzu sighed in his heart, "This Konoha is truly powerful. Before, there were Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, whose strength was comparable to true gods of the Ninja World. And now, the current Uchiha clan head is once again this kind of unimaginably powerful existence."
Pointing at the explosive tags, Uchiha Fucheng instructed, "When you carry out missions across the Ninja World, you can sell these explosive tags in batches. As long as you sell them in a dispersed manner, you will obtain more funding for your activities."
Kakuzu silently calculated: the cash was about 40 million ryo, and the value of the explosive tags, if sold across multiple countries, could fetch 65 million to 80 million ryo.
Such a massive fortune was comparable to more than ten times the bounty of an A-rank mission on the black market.
This was where Uchiha Fucheng's shrewdness lay.
Selling explosive tags solely in Konoha would severely depress the market. However, Kakuzu would be traveling through various countries in the Ninja World, selling the explosive tags as he wandered.
Having arranged Kakuzu's tasks, Fucheng and Mikoto continued on their way to the Land of Lightning.
And Kakuzu was also going to complete the first 'task' Uchiha Fucheng had given him:
"Find out who is posting the bounty on Uchiha Fucheng on the market!"
