"Fine. A billion ryō. I'll pay it. Just make sure you kill the Third Raikage."
Danzō took a deep breath and said. Although he felt the price was high, he was willing to pay it to save his own life.
But he wasn't sure if Shin would actually kill the Third Raikage after receiving the money.
It wasn't that he thought Shin couldn't do it, but he was worried Shin would take the money and run. If that happened, there was nothing Danzō could do.
Kushina smiled slightly, the murderous intent on her face instantly fading. Shin had been right—Danzō was a coward.
"Pay the deposit first," Shin said calmly.
Danzō glanced at Shin, but didn't object. He knew he had no choice.
He reluctantly paid a hundred million ryō as a deposit. He couldn't afford to pay more now.
"Don't forget the remaining nine hundred million ryō. Otherwise, Konoha can prepare to be rebuilt. I'm sure the cost of rebuilding Konoha will be much higher than this—I'm sure you understand what I mean."
Shin glanced at Danzō, then left with Kushina and Mikoto. If it weren't for the money, he wouldn't even bother with Danzō.
After Shin left, Danzō also relaxed. He had been worried about his safety with Shin around.
He didn't even dare mention the death of his subordinate, Uzumaki Kai.

"Are we going after the Third Raikage now? Do we need a plan?" Mikoto asked Shin.
"Mikoto, do you think we need a plan?"
Kushina asked before Shin could answer. With their strength, they didn't need a plan. They could just barge in and kill the Third Raikage.
"Kushina, have you forgotten something? I thought you were still angry at me and weren't talking to me," Mikoto said with a playful smile.
Kushina's face fell. She had forgotten. She turned away with a huff.
"Stop teasing her, Mikoto. She's about to explode," Shin said, patting Mikoto's head.
"But she's right. We don't need a plan to deal with the Third Raikage."
They could just go and kill him.
"I'm not saying it's impossible, It just feels… a bit arrogant, don't you think?" Mikoto expressed her hesitation.
Directly barging into their camp to kill their leader was truly brazen.
"Arrogant? I don't think so," Shin shrugged.
With their strength, devising a plan to deal with the Third Raikage would be laughable.
"Kushina's already gone. Let's go after her," Shin said, taking Mikoto's hand and chasing after Kushina.
Kushina was pouting. She was probably still angry. Shin thought she looked cute.
"I'll teleport us directly into the Kumo camp."
Shin held Mikoto and Kushina's hands and used Yomotsu Hirasaka to teleport them to the nearby Kumo camp.
——
"Shin. You're not allowed to interfere this time," Kushina said.
"Then why did you bring me here?" Shin asked curiously.
"I didn't bring you here. You came on your own."
"I did, but you wanted me to come, didn't you?" Shin looked at Kushina.
"N-no! I didn't," Kushina said, turning away with a huff.
"Who are you?"
A dark-skinned Kumo Shinobi drew his sword and looked at Shin, Kushina, and Mikoto warily.
Mikoto activated her Sharingan and used Genjutsu to control the Shinobi.
"We can ask him where the Third Raikage is. That'll save us the trouble of searching," Mikoto said with a smile.
"I could find him with Kagura's Mind's Eye," Shin said.
He had fought the Third Raikage before and knew his Chakra signature. He could easily find him with the Mind's Eye of Kagura.
But it didn't matter which method they used, as long as they found the Third Raikage.
——
They learned the Third Raikage's location from the Kumo Shinobi. He was nearby.
"Let's just say hello then."
Kushina condensed an enormous Big Ball Rasengan in her palm and immediately hurled it toward the command tent where the Third Raikage was located.
This was no ordinary Rasengan—it was the much more destructive Big Ball Rasengan, with power far exceeding the original.
BOOOOOOOOOOOMMM—!
——
The loud explosion immediately drew the attention of every Kumo Shinobi nearby. Moments later, the furious Third Raikage burst forth from the ruined command tent.
Right behind him stood his son, A, and A's adopted brother and partner—the current Eight-Tails jinchūriki, Killer B.
A was the future Fourth Raikage—
"Yo! Who's the idiot fool wrecking our base? I'll twist his head and smash his face!" Killer B shouted in his usual ridiculous rap-style manner.
A clenched his fists. His brother had a screw loose, He worried that Killer B would someday get himself killed.
"It's been a while since anyone dared to speak to me like that. You have guts. Tell me—how do you want to die?" Shin calmly stared at Killer B with a smile.
"!!!" A glared at Shin, killing intent flashing in his eyes.
"A, take B and leave immediately," the Third Raikage ordered sternly.
"What?" A looked at his father in confusion.
"That's Uzumaki Shin," the Third Raikage said grimly. He hadn't expected to encounter Shin in this war, yet here he was again—
A's eyes widened. Uzumaki Shin—the Strongest Shinobi in the world?
A wasn't convinced, having never experienced Shin's power firsthand during the Second Shinobi World War. A couldn't accept his father's fear.
In terms of age, Uzumaki Shin was even younger than him. Considering he himself was an unparalleled genius, A refused to acknowledge that Shin could possibly be stronger.
Deep down, A firmly believed Uzumaki Shin's reputation was greatly exaggerated, and the title of 'Strongest' was merely blown out of proportion.
Now that they had met face-to-face, A felt eager to personally challenge Uzumaki Shin and see if the so-called 'Strongest' really lived up to his legendary reputation.
