Bab 130: Chapter 130
Another window opened.
Haruki turned his head and saw Kakuzu sticking his head out.
He had survived so long by being calm and cautious.
With his skills, he naturally sensed the presence of a ninja outside.
However, when he saw Haruki, he paused briefly before closing the window again.
Haruki raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
Just as he was about to go back to sleep, he noticed the ninja approaching the inn.
He cast a genjutsu.
Moments later, the female ninja appeared before him.
She was about twenty years old, not particularly pretty, but fair-looking.
She wasn't wearing a specialized ninja outfit, making it hard to tell which village she was from.
It was late at night.
The streets were empty.
She glanced around the inn, leaped up, and reached the second floor.
She knocked on a window, which was opened by a handsome young man.
Upon seeing her, he showed joy.
They embraced.
The window closed, and Haruki didn't look further.
He wasn't like Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had a strong voyeuristic tendency.
Haruki quietly got into bed, lay beside Tsunade, then turned over and held her soft and full body, falling asleep.
---
The next day.
Haruki opened his eyes, lay in Tsunade's arms for a while, then got up and opened the door.
The inn was very quiet in the morning.
He walked down the corridor, intending to go downstairs to find the innkeeper or a waiter to order breakfast.
"Haruki."
Kakuzu opened his door and called him.
"Wow, the sun is rising from the west today? You actually greeted me?" Haruki joked, feigning surprise.
Kakuzu's forehead twitched with black lines; he truly couldn't understand Haruki's personality.
Sometimes good, sometimes bad.
He glanced at the room opposite, where the female ninja and the young man had stayed.
What Kakuzu said next truly surprised Haruki.
"That female ninja is dead."
"Dead?"
Haruki instinctively looked at the same room as Kakuzu and asked, "Why is she dead?"
"Maybe the young man did it," Kakuzu mused. "I usually stay very alert while sleeping. About two hours ago, I heard some noise and went to check."
"Strange, you don't seem like someone who meddles in others' affairs," Haruki was somewhat surprised by the female ninja's death but had no intention of investigating further. After all, it had nothing to do with him.
"I smelled something familiar on her, possibly the Hero Water."
After some hesitation, Kakuzu explained.
With Haruki's immense power, he didn't need the Hero Water.
Similarly, it was not easy to deceive him.
"Oh, the treasured item of Takigakure, which can increase a ninja's chakra."
Haruki immediately recalled the knowledge in his mind.
It should be said that the Hero Water is quite famous among ninjas.
But Takigakure is not weak and has a Jinchuriki, so generally, ninjas wouldn't consider stealing it.
And for the stronger ninjas, it's unnecessary.
Although the Hero Water increases chakra, the amount depends on the person's constitution.
But thinking of Kakashi, Haruki became interested.
He directly opened the door.
The room was empty, except for the female ninja's corpse.
Haruki could see at a glance that she had died from poisoning.
The shock on her face hadn't yet dissipated.
"Looks like murder for treasure," Kakuzu sneered, unsurprised.
He had seen too many such incidents.
Forget lovers, even brothers and fathers and sons could turn against each other.
The world revolves around money.
Haruki sighed.
A flame burned the female ninja's corpse.
Then he expanded his perception.
There are many tracking jutsus in the Naruto world, but at his level, the range of his perception is vast.
Moments later, he grabbed Kakuzu, and with a flash of space-time, they appeared on a highway.
The young man was fleeing on horseback.
"He's not a ninja, or rather, his chakra is too low to be one," Haruki quickly noticed his condition.
"Perhaps it's for this reason he befriended a Takigakure ninja, learned about the Hero Water, persuaded her to steal it, and then killed her for it. Tsk, Kakuzu, take care of him."
Haruki glanced at Kakuzu; he didn't even want to deal with someone like this himself.
"…"
Kakuzu descended.
After experiencing the Flying Thunder God technique, he had no thoughts of running away.
He might even try to get a heart from a space-time ninja.
But such ninjas were extremely rare; he had hardly encountered any.
"What do you want?" The young man noticed Kakuzu ahead and tensed up.
Mainly because Kakuzu's attire was too villainous.
If it were Haruki, he definitely wouldn't appear this way.
Kakuzu was silent, hardened his right arm, and directly smashed the young man's head.
He searched the body and found a bottle of clear water.
He opened it and sniffed, recognizing the familiar smell.
"Market price, one million," Kakuzu said to Haruki, "If you want it."
"You really know how to do business," Haruki couldn't help but laugh. He rubbed his chin and asked, "Since you can't beat me, why can't I just take it?"
Kakuzu's heart skipped a beat. He said, "I'll ask you first; we can negotiate."
Haruki finally understood Kakuzu's personality.
Truly, the charm of money.
He didn't say anything, paid the money.
Kakuzu was quite surprised; he had been prepared, but didn't expect Haruki to actually pay.
This made Kakuzu think maybe this guy isn't so bad after all.
But then he shook his head, reminding himself not to be deceived by the sugar-coated bullet, he wanted the freedom to make money.
Unfortunately, he didn't understand how hard it is to earn money while standing.
Haruki, having obtained the Hero Water, returned to the inn and called for Kakashi.
"Drink it."
He had already checked to ensure there were no toxins.
As for the chakra boost, it would depend on Kakashi's fate.
Holding the small vial of Hero Water, which wasn't much, Kakashi hesitated, glanced at Haruki, then drank it all.
Seconds later, his eyes widened.
The chakra in his body felt like ignited dry wood, quickly spreading.
Haruki placed his glowing green hands on Kakashi's chest.
He nodded slightly.
It was effective.
At least a sevenfold increase.
But it also reduced his lifespan a bit.
No worries, when he grows older and stronger, he'll be given Hashirama cells.
Kakashi now qualifies as a proper Genin, just a step away from being a Chunin.
His chakra quantity was simply insufficient.
"Thank you, sensei!" Kakashi, feeling the expanded chakra capacity, couldn't help but ask, "Is there more?"
Haruki slapped him on the head.
"Only in your dreams."
After breakfast, when they were about to leave the inn, the storyteller they had seen yesterday approached them.
"Greetings, everyone. May I ask if you are ninjas?"
"Yes," Haruki replied, sizing up the storyteller.
About forty years old, with thinning hair, hinting at a receding hairline.
"Great!" The storyteller beamed with excitement. "I would like to hire you to escort me to the capital."
