Inside a public restroom in the Land of Birds.
This was no ordinary restroom; hidden within was an underground exchange point—a hub for the underworld. Murder, theft, kidnapping, smuggling, money laundering, even orchestrating coups—if it was illegal and profitable, you could find someone here to do it. As long as you could afford the price, anything was possible.
At this moment, Kakuzu was meticulously counting stacks of money. At his feet lay a lifeless body—his latest target, it seemed.
After finishing the final bundle of bills, Kakuzu nodded in satisfaction and placed the money into a briefcase. His obsession with money was unparalleled; every time he completed a mission, he would count the payment himself, bill by bill. It wasn't that he didn't trust the exchange point—it was simply that he enjoyed the act of counting money, savoring the scent of fresh ink. In his long, endless life, only money gave him a sense of security and fulfillment.
"Perfect. Exactly three million ryō. He's all yours now." Kakuzu nudged the body at his feet with disdain. Two employees from the exchange point quickly came over to remove the corpse.
"Mr. Kakuzu, please wait a moment."
