after ren successfully instilled a fake personality of his in the old man , they both passed through a hidden door in the wall and arrived in a really cold room and ren didnt need to ask because this place could only be the room where they store bodies.
many steel cabinets were present and the quiet atmosphere was very eerie like a graveyard. ren felt uncomfortable at first because he was not used to these kind of places but fortunately his mind had been fortified after witnessing some truths of this world so after some seconds ren got used to it . the old man was avoiding eye contact with ren as he now completely thought that this young man was also like many other bounty hunters who have very cruel and impatient personality . being so long in this profession he knew that it was not worth it to provoke this young lad just for some information .
the old man opened a cabinet with his arms and heavy metal sound resonated in the quiet room . soon empty cabinet was there and the old man signalled ren to take out the dead body . he was also very curious about who did the black young man kill because he had no idea about his strenght.
but the old man was shocked which literally could not be more obvious after seeing his face because ren took out the body of the most troublesome A rank missing nin who even had high bounty than some S rank nin .
the old man instead sighed in relief because his decision to not provoke this young man turned out to be the correct one . a man who could hunt such a strong and most importantly difficult target to search , could easily find him even if he dissapeared in the ends of the planet . the old man could not wait to send this young man off because he was too scary . so he hurriedly went to his small office and brought out two brown small suit cases filled with cash .
" here is your 56 million ryo .." before the old man could continue talking , ren had already taken the suit cases from him because ren came here for the money in the first place .
" old man , bring me the information about the locations of all the other bounty houses you know of . I dont want to waste my time collecting this information myself.." while counting the cash ren spoke in a cold tone and the old man again dashed off towards his office .
ren finished counting and was satisfied with the huge amount of money he had earned in just one job. his only thought was that bounty hunting job is too lucrative , no wonder kakuzu who was so afraid to die could not stop this job as his love for money was too obvious in the anime . ren slowly walked out of the butcher house and there were no suitcases in his hands because he had already stored them inside his dimension. the old man wasn't powerful enough to notice different space fluctuations anyway so there was no need to go all the way to deceive him .
ren used shave and his figure disappeared from in front of the butcher shop starting the old man once again . ren quickly entered his dimension after running a few kilometers away and confirming that nobody could see him .
instantly the surroundings changed and ren found himself in a vast grass plane where his shadow clones were busy practicing . ren was too excited to absorb the explosion release bloodline so he just found a spot nearby and immediately injected the syringe containing toshi chan's blood into a thick vein of his arm . the all familiar ants crawling sensation came when the blood sample started to fight with his own cells . ren was now familiar with the process so he immediately flared his chakra to ease the pain and fasten the process while going into the state of deep medistion .
meanwhile inside the hokage office in leaf village -
( hokage pov )
" hiruzen , I will never agree with such a crude plan to face hanzo just for some civilians. my plan to use my subordinates and cause chaos between the rain and stone village is much better .." ( danzo )
" hmm.. danzo stop shouting already. we know that your plans are always good but it's always better to have less casualties on our side too ." ( koharu )
" ma.. ma.. calm down you two . the thing is that this plan of forming alliance with rain village is too vague . we know that hanzo wont agree if we dont promise him benefits. but it's also true that hanzo is still much better than that greedy old tanuki onoki as he would not hesitate to launch full scale war on us for benefits.. anyway , I dont know about civilians but I agree that we can reduce our casualties very much if the alliance with rain village is successfully formed . bla bla bla bla .." ( homura )
sigh.. all my old friends know that the alliance is more beneficial but they are wasting time unnecessarily. looks like danzo has already finished talking with kouaru and homura before coming to the meeting. that onoki will definitely use his elite explosion corps to sneak attack on us soon using the terrain of rain village . hmm.. looks like I will have to offend these old friends of mine once again. sigh.. I wonder since when our friendship turned into political games ? maybe when lord 2nd died.. it's my fault as I neglected them too much because I was too busy with unfamiliar hokage duties at that time . danzo started changing more and more from that time and now I dont see my kind old friend who was also my rival . maybe danzo needs some rest to patiently reflect on his changing personality
maybe I should agree to let him form his root organization and relieve him from duties of active jonin commander. sigh.. this is too troublesome ...
