Chapter 506 Black Market News
The shadowy black market has recently been bustling with activity.
Every guesthouse was packed with people, to the point of being overflowing.
However, unlike usual, the vast majority of these people did not come to accept various dangerous and stimulating tasks.
Their only goal was to find out the latest and most exciting news.
It should be understood that this Ninja World War could very well be the war that destroys Konoha!
This is a major event that will change the entire landscape of the ninja world, so everyone is naturally paying close attention to it.
Just then, those experts who specialized in collecting and selling intelligence...
They successfully brought back crucial intelligence from the battlefield of demons and sold it on the black market.
It must be said that this type of intelligence has a unique timeliness characteristic:
In the early stages of the war, they were priceless;
However, over time, its value will rapidly decrease until it becomes worthless.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, this valuable intelligence is handled and processed by the black market.
After all, private transactions between individuals not only make it difficult to guarantee the accuracy of information, but also often result in varying prices.
It is worth mentioning that the black market stands out among many channels precisely because of its strict control over the authenticity of intelligence.
In contrast, if intelligence is obtained from scattered individuals, its reliability is difficult to guarantee.
However, in such a chaotic and treacherous environment...
If someone can truly find a close friend they can completely trust.
To share valuable intelligence resources with them is undoubtedly a remarkable skill and a stroke of luck.
So far, although only a small number of people have been informed of some inside information, even these rumors are enough to shock people.
—It is said that the ghost legion under the command of Wangliang has been completely wiped out!
As for how many forces were secretly involved behind this fierce battle?
The answer is even more elusive.
According to incomplete statistics, the characters involved include Zenku, Miroku, the Mizukage, and the Tsuchikage, making it a veritable super free-for-all!
However, apart from the Ghost Legion having clearly disappeared without a trace, the specific casualties of the other participating parties remain unclear.
Instead of engaging the enemy head-on, Konoha's army quickly mobilized its troops to support Iwagakure.
Although the Ghost Legion failed to tie down too much of Konoha's military strength.
However, it is obvious to anyone with discerning eyes that Konoha is in a disadvantageous position under the combined attack of the three ninja villages.
At this moment, Kakuzu was sitting alone in a corner, flipping through a small booklet in his hand.
Beside him stood a man with thick eyebrows, large eyes, and a shiny bald head.
Surprisingly, no one dared to approach within a one-meter radius of the two of them.
You must understand that this is a bustling, crowded black market.
Being able to have a place to sit comfortably, with such ample space, demonstrates a powerful and intimidating strength.
The bald man standing in front of Kakuzu is a staff member of the black market gold exchange, and he and Kakuzu have been partners for many years.
Previously, Kakuzu would frequently visit this place to take on various missions, and as the middleman, the bald man earned a considerable commission as a result.
However, in recent days, Kakuzu has seemed to have vanished without a trace, and has not set foot in this black market for a long time.
Because of the lack of experts like Kakuzu to take on those difficult tasks, many tricky commissions remain unclaimed to this day.
This directly resulted in the bald man losing a stable source of income, which naturally made him extremely anxious.
When he learned that Kakuzu had come to the black market, he hurriedly put down his business and rushed over from the exchange.
The bald man stood before Kakuzu with a broad smile on his face:
"Brother Kakuzu, you're here! Take a look at our latest bounty list, maybe there's something you like."
As he spoke, the bald man hurriedly handed a thick bounty book to Kakuzu.
Kakuzu accepted the bounty book expressionlessly and began to flip through it page by page.
His gaze swept quickly across the bounty information on each page, but he showed no interest whatsoever.
Before long, Kakuzu had finished reading the bounty book from beginning to end and casually returned it to the bald man.
Then, he spoke coldly:
"I have other things to take care of, you can leave now."
The bald man looked at Kakuzu with great anticipation, but all he received was this cold, indifferent remark.
He couldn't help but feel a sense of loss, but he dared not complain in the slightest.
After all, most of the people coming and going in this black market are ruthless and have complicated backgrounds.
And someone as powerful as Kakuzu is not someone to be trifled with.
For the bald man to receive such a tactful rejection was quite polite.
So, Bald Qiang mustered his spirits, forced a smile, and carefully took the bounty book from Kakuzu's hand. He bowed and scraped as he replied:
"Alright, Brother Kakuzu, then I won't bother you any longer."
After saying that, the bald man didn't dare to linger any longer and turned to leave quickly.
At this moment, Kakuzu watched the bald man's departing figure, a slightly upturned smile on his lips.
Having handled hundreds of millions of yuan over the years, he no longer has any interest in small sums of a few hundred thousand or a few million.
The reason he accepted the bounty and looked through it was simply to take this opportunity to gather some potentially useful information from the sidelines.
However, to his surprise, even Zen Kong's bounty had disappeared.
It's easy to guess without much thought that this means Chan Kong is most likely dead.
It's important to know that high-level bounty missions like Zen Kong require a considerable fee just to accept them.
The black market won't withdraw its mission before this information becomes widespread.
It's because he and the bald guy had been working together for many years, and the other party didn't dare to offend him, which is why the mission was withdrawn.
However, this was just something he did on a whim; he was waiting for people from Konoha.
Not long after, a man dressed as a member of the Konoha Anbu, looking travel-worn, arrived beside Kakuzu.
He took out half a shuriken.
Black Zetsu took out his shuriken and matched them perfectly with his own.
The ANBU handed a scroll to Kakuzu and then hurriedly left.
After obtaining the information, Kakuzu did not linger and immediately left the black market.
