Naruto: Konoha’s Trickster, Starting as the Seven-Tails Jinchūriki Chapter 432: Loot and Plunder

Kazuyama stood atop a giant crystal dragon, his body hidden by the crystal's transparency and his own invisibility—completely unafraid of being seen.

Before him lay a miserable, unconscious man—Tatsuma, the Root captain stationed in Agakure and one of Danzō's closest confidants.

After taking a direct hit from the One Thousand Years of Death Rasengan, he'd passed out from the pain.

Kazuyama's face radiated killing intent. He wasn't so saint. A fellow Konoha ninja had co all the way to Agakure and tead up with outsiders to try and take him down?

Hmph. That bastard Danzō really had it out for him.

"Kazuyama, why keep him alive? Just finish him off already."

"Exactly. Anyone who lays a hand on you deserves to die."

"If you don't want to do it, just feed him to the snakes."

The three Snake Princesses chid in one by one—and even Chōi looked ready to say sothing.

Kazuyama shrugged, then unsheathed his Kusanagi sword. One clean slash—Tatsuma was dead.

Flicking the blood from his blade, he summoned several clones behind him.

With wings sprouting from their backs, the clones took off, diving toward the village below.

"Kazuyama, what are you doing?"

"Hmph. Not a single Root ninja leaves here alive. They all die."

His tone was ice-cold. There would be no rcy. If they had the nerve to co, they'd better be ready for revenge.

The clones moved fast, and with Crystal Release, ambushes were effortless.

"Tagorihi, Ichikishimahi, Tagitsuhi, Chōi."

"I need your help. If I know Hanzō, his castle is the best place to stash his treasure."

"Help scout for any kind of treasure room."

"And while you're at it, scan the village—moneylenders, casinos, wherever cash is stored."

The three Snake Princesses and Chōi stared at him, stunned into silence.

"Kazuyama... are you serious?"

"We're in the middle of a fight. Why are you suddenly talking about treasure?"

Tagitsuhi stamred the question, but the answer she got shattered her worldview.

Kazuyama grinned, voice dripping with mischief.

"Fight? Why would I fight?"

"He's a demi-god of the ninja world, and I'm just a Konoha Jōnin. You think I can take him?"

"Besides, I don't like fighting. I like robbing people."

"Hehehehe."

"Chōi, chakra—now."

Kazuyama crossed his hands into a seal. In the next second—Multiple Shadow Clone Technique exploded into action.

Hundreds of clones appeared and quickly transford into Agakure shinobi.

Then they rushed toward the village.

The real Kazuyama stayed where he was, coldly watching Hanzō from above.

The clones spread out through Agakure, boldly storming banks, casinos, and shops.

"What are you doing?!"

"Why are you breaking into my store?!"

With the village in chaos, most shops had locked their doors.

But the clones didn't care. They smashed in, said nothing, and imdiately started looting.

Terrified shopkeepers shouted in panic.

"Hmph! Hanzō ssed with Konoha—what do you think's gonna happen to us?"

"Grab the cash and run! Don't block my payday, idiot—move!"

The clones knew exactly what to do—fully committed to their roles. They tossed shopkeepers aside and cleaned the places out right in front of them.

The sa scene unfolded across the entire village.

In seconds, all of Agakure had descended into chaos.

Even Hanzō, still clashing swords with a clone, heard the uproar.

"What's going on?"

Clang!

But the clone gave him no ti to think—Kazuyama thrust the Kusanagi sword forward, pulling Hanzō back into the fight.

"Lord Hanzō! Our own village's ninja are looting shops and stealing everything!"

"What do we do?!"

Though Hanzō couldn't see it himself, soone had co running to report back to the castle.

Of course, those "ssengers" were Kazuyama's clones.

Heh... what does it an to break soone ntally?

This was it.

"What?! That's impossible!"

"It's true, Lord Hanzō. They're saying you provoked Konoha, and the village is dood. They're grabbing all the money they can and running for it."

The clones played their roles perfectly, selling the lie so well that even Hanzō was fooled.

"Bastards!"

"You little punk, this is all your fault!"

"Summoning Technique!"

Furious, Hanzō channeled all his rage toward Kazuyama. He bit his finger, slapped his hand to the ground—and summoned.

A massive salamander appeared once more. Not Ibuse this ti, but another new summon.

"Hmph. I already killed Ibuse. Why would I be scared of this one?"

Though it was just a clone, Kazuyama showed no fear. He remained full of fighting spirit.

...

Inside the castle...

"Damn it! Lord Danzō will never let you get away with this!"

"Aaagh!"

Screams echoed one after another as corpses hit the floor. Each one wore a Konoha mask and forehead protector.

Root mbers—every last one.

With their deaths, Kazuyama's Crystal Release clones shattered, scattering into shards of crystal.

Realizing the entire Root team had been wiped out, Kazuyama smiled in satisfaction and turned his eyes back to the furious Hanzō.

Because they were inside the village, even with the salamander summoned, Hanzō refrained from releasing a full-scale poison mist.

anwhile, Kazuyama's clones were still looting valuables like madn.

Enraged, Hanzō drove the new salamander toward one of the clones—but it dodged effortlessly.

"Kazuyama, we found it! It's in the lowest level of his castle. The steel around it is insanely reinforced—definitely where he stores his treasures."

Using Senjutsu just to locate a stash might have been overkill, but Kazuyama couldn't care less. He was having a blast.

While his clones caused havoc outside, the real Kazuyama silently slipped into the castle.

Following the Snake Princesses' guidance, he found a hidden chamber—overflowing with gold, silver, rare ninja tools, and valuable scrolls. Kazuyama's eyes lit up as he began sweeping it all into storage.

Outside, the chaos from the clones only escalated. Hanzō's face grew darker by the second.

"Damn you! Die!"

He finally snapped. Poison mist surged toward Kazuyama in a focused burst.

Even if it ant damaging his own castle further, he couldn't hold back any longer.

"Hehehe... Hanzō, you really are a Demi-God of the ninja world. Hehehe!"
