- The Reincarnation World Where Only I Know the Storyline
- RWWOKS Chapter 129
In the forest, a rogue ninja from the Hidden Rain Village was desperately fleeing for his life.
As a skilled Chunin-level ninja, he usually wouldn’t even bother with ordinary pursuers. After all, Rain Village operated on a war mercenary strategy, and its ninjas were battle-hardened from fighting in seas of blood and mountains of corpses.
If not for the “accident” where he killed his superior, he wouldn’t have fallen into this situation.
As for the threats from the village’s Jonin, those big shots wouldn’t care about such small matters—they’d rather spend their time creating more value for the village.
For this reason, many rogue ninjas managed to roam freely in the ninja world—unless someone placed a bounty on their heads in the black market.
Once a hefty bounty was involved, someone would eventually come looking for you.
Just like now, his pursuer had likely taken on his bounty.
“Hmph, killing me won’t be that easy!”
The man had already tried fighting his pursuer but was no match for the opponent’s puppet. He had thought his life was over, but surprisingly, the pursuer’s movement was extremely slow.
That gave him the chance to escape. Otherwise, his head would have been chopped off by now.
In the underground black market, capturing someone alive often paid two to three times more than killing them. It’s easier to defeat someone, but capturing them alive drastically increases the difficulty.
Hesitating too much could lead to being killed in return.
He glanced behind him at the sky. The man in the black cloak was still trailing far behind, not quite catching up but not falling out of sight either.
“What a troublesome guy.” The rogue ninja pulled out a few explosive tags and set up traps along the way.
He didn’t hope to kill the pursuer, just slow him down.
What the rogue ninja failed to notice was that, at some point, countless white spider webs had appeared all around him.
By the time he realized it, he was already surrounded by a swarm of ghost spiders. In every direction, he could see their eerie green eyes staring at him.
Most terrifying was the creature hanging upside down from a tree to his left—a half-human, half-spider monstrosity, with venom dripping from its sharp spider legs.
He tried to fight back, but his attacks weren’t strong enough to take down the ghost spiders in one hit.
In the next moment, the swarm of spiders pounced, tearing the poor man apart, leaving only his head behind.
Five seconds later, Fang Bo descended from the sky, ignoring the spiders around him as he walked over and retrieved the mission proof.
After wiping the blood from his hands, he turned slowly and looked at the sixteen ghost spiders nearby.
Thanks to his efforts over the past few days, Jorogumo’s spiders had fully matured, and the first second-tier spider soldier had been born.
[Name: Elite Spider Soldier (Summon)]
[Rank: Tier 2]
[HP: 120]
[Strength: 14]
[Constitution: 12]
[Agility: 12]
[Spirit: 8]
[Perception: 11]
[Traits: Venomous, Devour Evolution, Sharp Spider Blades]
[Skills: Poison Needle, Rapid Slash]
The stats had significantly improved. For any newbie who had only gone through two or three story worlds, it would be a terrifying hunter.
Unfortunately, this was the space battlefield, where the reincarnators were powerful elites rarely seen in the regular world.
While the second-tier spider soldier was strong, it couldn’t deal significant damage to those reincarnators on its own.
However, if it evolved to the third tier, it might pose a serious threat.
As Jorogumo approached, Fang Bo curiously asked, “How long until it can evolve?”
Jorogumo sifted through the dead man’s remains, then replied after a moment, “With the energy from this flesh, about two or three more should do it.”
The spider had already devoured plenty of flesh, and at this rate, it would need the bodies of five more Chunin to evolve to the third tier.
“As expected, the ‘mass army’ strategy is tough to pull off. Resource gathering is painfully slow in the early stages.”
Days had passed, and the battlefield points rankings had shifted dramatically. Fang Bo had fallen to the bottom ranks within the Sand Village.
He could only imagine what the other reincarnators were saying about this so-called “elite.”
Before Fang Bo could reflect further, the ghost spiders had already disappeared.
With several hours remaining before the summon ended, Jorogumo needed to continue hunting and gathering more flesh.
As for this rogue ninja from the Hidden Rain, the bounty didn’t come from the Sound Village but from a black market exchange.
In order to earn more “money,” Fang Bo had tracked down the exchange and started his own hunting spree.
Without these targets, Jorogumo wouldn’t have been able to summon all of her ghost spiders so easily.
Unfortunately, Guren and Jugo had returned to the Sound Village and chose not to join him for these hunting missions.
Otherwise, Fang Bo would have loved to try hunting a Jonin-level target.
Finding a quiet spot, Fang Bo took out his damaged Yoriichi Type Zero and began repairing its broken parts.
After the series of brutal battles, the puppet had always been on the front lines, and as a result, Fang Bo’s repair materials had been depleted.
If he wanted to keep using the puppet in battle, he would need to find a way to restock materials before heading to Konoha.
Already, his financially strained situation was growing even more dire.
The black market exchange was an underground trading hub.
Suppressing the stench, Fang Bo passed through an abandoned toilet in the wilderness and entered the exchange area.
Tossing the rogue ninja’s head onto the table, he sat alone in a corner, glaring menacingly at the curious eyes around him.
This was a lawless area on the border of the Land of Fire, near a small neighboring country.
A typical no-man’s land, it was crawling with bounty hunters.
Under the right conditions, these hunters could easily turn into raiders, trying to snatch your hard-earned mission rewards right from under your nose.
“Target confirmed. Here’s your reward of 2 million ryo.”
The announcement of the sum drew gasps from the surrounding crowd.
The air in the hall seemed to heat up as countless greedy eyes turned to Fang Bo, some probably wishing they could kill him right there and dump him in the latrine.
“Heh, I dare you to try,” Fang Bo said, shaking the bag of money provocatively.
Though killing them wouldn’t earn him money, it would help Jorogumo’s spiders evolve. If luck was on his side, they might even drop a few loot boxes.
Brazenly tying the bag around his waist, Fang Bo ignored the murmurs around him and turned to the person in charge. “Any news on the matter we discussed last time?”
At this, the official perked up instantly. “Come with me.”
He led Fang Bo to a private room, a place usually reserved for high-value clients.
This exchange didn’t just deal with missions; you could also post your own commissions here.
As long as the money was right, they could even connect you with Kage-level powerhouses for special jobs.
Take the Akatsuki, for example. Its members frequently took on various war-related commissions.
The Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, Ōnoki, had even hired the Akatsuki on multiple occasions to assist in foreign wars.
Fang Bo was wondering whether he could hire them too, to join in the Konoha Crush plan.
The bounty for Daidara’s head had been set at 30 million ryo, which had been enough to bring Hidan and Kakuzu from far away.
So with his 10 million ryo, perhaps the “purchasing power” was stronger than he had expected.
The price for two members might be too high, but hiring one Akatsuki member should be feasible.
[Achievement: Financial Freedom (Completed)]
[You have earned the title “Little Fat Sheep”]
**Little Fat Sheep (Passive Title):** Attracts opportunistic individuals, increasing the chances of finding rare items not typically available on the market.
After completing this bounty mission, Fang Bo’s accumulated earnings had surpassed 10 million, unlocking the achievement of financial freedom in this world.
A passive title doesn’t need to be equipped—it activates automatically once acquired, and sometimes you can’t turn it off even if you want to.
[Achievement: Financial Freedom II (Unlocked)]
[Requirement: Accumulate 30 million ryo]
“Hah, so it’s a progressive achievement quest,” Fang Bo muttered to himself.
Earning 10 million had been difficult enough—he had no idea where he’d find the remaining 20 million.
Sitting on the sofa in the guest room, Fang Bo tapped the armrest lightly, curious about who he would be meeting next.
Earlier, he had asked the person in charge to put out a bounty, hoping to see if any powerful individuals would be interested in taking on a war mission.
With a bounty of 10 million ryo, it wasn’t too high or too low, but Fang Bo wasn’t sure if anyone would accept.
Now it seemed someone with either a shortage of money or a serious obsession with it had taken the job.
In a fleeting moment, Fang Bo had a guess about who it might be.
“Did you issue the mission?” A stranger’s voice suddenly came from behind him.
Fang Bo hadn’t sensed the person’s presence at all, which meant the difference in their perception attributes was vast.
Turning slowly, Fang Bo saw a man wearing a black cloak adorned with red clouds, his eyes a demonic shade of dark green.
It was none other than Kakuzu, the Akatsuki member famed for his immortality, known as “the man who lives as long as the heavens and earth.”
“As I thought,” Fang Bo nodded calmly, gesturing for Kakuzu to sit.
Meeting Kakuzu was an unexpected stroke of luck. Even though the deal wasn’t finalized yet, the fact they were discussing terms was already a good start.
Within the Akatsuki, Kakuzu’s strength was among the highest.
Kakashi Hatake’s combat prowess was widely acknowledged, particularly his skill in shadow clone tactics. Even Obito and Pain had suffered under his strategies.
Yet, during his direct confrontation with Kakuzu, Kakashi found himself at a disadvantage after only a few exchanges.
If not for Hidan’s backstabbing, Kakashi’s heart would have been torn from his chest.
Throughout the entire *Naruto* series, few could decisively defeat Kakashi within a few rounds—Kakuzu’s achievements in this regard were noteworthy.
His combat experience and raw power were overwhelming.
While he couldn’t defeat the First Hokage, bullying the younger generation was well within his capabilities.
If Kakuzu agreed, the success of the Konoha Crush Plan would be far more likely.
After listening to Fang Bo’s proposal, Kakuzu remained silent for a long time.
Finally, he spoke slowly, “As a former member of the Akatsuki, I cannot cooperate with Orochimaru just for money.”
Fang Bo twitched slightly, then pulled out the golden crystal iron fan he had acquired from Doma.
“This ninja tool can expand the destructive range of jutsu, especially suited for someone of your caliber.”
If you want to catch a wolf, you have to be willing to part with a lamb. Fang Bo was determined to recruit Kakuzu for this hidden quest, no matter the cost.
Throwing out an epic-level piece of equipment, Fang Bo was making a hefty investment this time.
But given the rich rewards from consecutive hidden quests in the *Demon Slayer* world, Fang Bo was confident that whatever price he paid would be worth it.
As for Kakuzu’s supposed refusal…
A man obsessed with money like him probably had no real principles.
As expected, when Kakuzu picked up the golden crystal iron fan, the cold expression on his face melted into one of warmth.
“Deal.”
Just as Fang Bo had suspected, the fan could significantly increase the range of Kakuzu’s jutsu.
With it, his *Earth Grudge Fear* techniques would become even deadlier, giving him a substantial boost in combat power.
As for the plan to attack Konoha, Kakuzu didn’t see much risk.
The Sand and Sound Villages weren’t fools—if they didn’t see a chance of success, they wouldn’t rashly invade Konoha’s headquarters.
Especially Orochimaru—Kakuzu knew the man too well. A cunning, ambitious creature obsessed with immortality, Orochimaru wouldn’t launch an attack unless he was confident of success.
Though he claimed to be doing it for money, Kakuzu had plenty of other considerations.
For instance, once the battle began, he could take the opportunity to raid Konoha’s financial department. He was sure there would be some special surprises waiting for him there.
If the chance arose, he could even deal with Orochimaru, giving Pain an additional favor.
“Alright then, it’s settled.”
