Chapter 272: Fiery Angels
Soon, Kakuzu and Sasori received the first mission from Pain. They cooperated with Konan and Musashi to recruit new members.
It should have been just Musashi, Kakuzu, and Sasori, but Konan felt that the three of them might be unreliable since they had only joined Akatsuki recently, so he tagged along to supervise them.
As per Zetsu's instruction, they went to Mount Shumisen, which was located in the border between Land of Earth and the Land of Grass.
"Is that guy really worth the four of us together? This is a waste of manpower. I could've killed a two million-worth bounty Shinobi while you guys do this."
Kakuzu said in a low voice on the way up the mountain. He had no intention of hiding his dissatisfaction.
Konan glanced at Kakuzu and said, "Akatsuki has calculated everything. This is just to be safe.
"After we finish recruiting members, we'll be divided to two-man cells and carry out our respective mission."
Kakuzu had no choice but to accept Konan's statement and did not say another word.
However, he seemed to feel irritated whenever he saw Konan for some reason.
Kakuzu was a little confused, but he cast it aside. Women would only hinder him from making money.
During his life as a Shinobi, he had seen many prodigal women who wasted their husband's money.
