Chapter 104: Greedy White Night

"Who are you? Uchiha should have no conflict with you."

Judging from Bai Ye's behavior, the boy who was suspected of being a rain nin didn't seem to intend to kill them. It might be because he was concerned about the family and village behind them, or it might be for other reasons.

Zhisui wanted to understand the reason why the other party attacked him and others. It was impossible for an insider to collude with outsiders.

Byakuya glanced at Shisui. In the future, Uchiha, who had awakened the strongest genjutsu Betsugami, was still just a kid in his teens. He didn't know if the will of fire had entered his mind, and he was thinking about the balance of his family and the village. .

However, since Shisui asked the question, he had to think carefully about how to answer it.

After touching his chin and thinking for more than ten seconds, Bai Ye decided to tell the truth and said with a sincere face: "Uchiha and I did not have any conflicts in the past, but we just did."

"Kakuzu was my prey, but you Uchiha intercepted me! Isn't this conflict enough?"

Hearing this, Shisui froze on the spot, and other Uchiha also showed shocked expressions.

After coming back to his senses, Shisui quickly explained: "Your Excellency, is there any misunderstanding in this? We didn't expect to fight Kakuzu, it was him who stopped us!"

"Is that so?" Bai Ye looked at Zhishui doubtfully and said:

"It seems there is indeed a misunderstanding between us. I mistakenly thought you were here to steal prey."

"You should also know that Kakuzu has been in the underground black market for many years, and he must have a lot of money with him. As long as he robs him, he can quickly obtain a large amount of funds. It is very normal for me to make a mistake in judgment."

"But how can you guarantee that you are not eyeing Kakuto's money?"

We really didn't come here for Kakuzu... Shisui's face was full of helplessness. Although Uchiha was not very popular in Konoha, his family's property was really not small, and he didn't need to catch bounty hunters to make money.

And even if he was short of money, no one would keep an eye on Kaku, that was the ruthless man who had assassinated Naruto.

Thinking of this, Shisui said cautiously: "Your Excellency, we Uchiha are not short of money, and since it is just a misunderstanding, why not let us go."

"If you kill us, the clansmen will definitely hate you. Why not establish friendship with Uchiha?"

Bai Ye shook his head gently: "The misunderstanding has already occurred. Even if I let you go now, you will still hate me, and I don't think your Uchiha friendship is of any use!"

"You Uchiha are so unpopular that you can't even get a Hokage, and you are ostracized every day."

After hearing the words 'unable to get the Hokage' and 'suffering rejection', Shisui didn't react at all, but the Uchiha on the side looked like they were scarred one by one, and the Sharingan that had just been closed was opened again.

"Kid, we Uchiha will have a Hokage sooner or later!"

"The past was before, and the present is now. Lord Fugaku is about to run for Hokage, and the Fourth Hokage is already in Uchiha's bag!"

Hearing these Uchiha complaints, Byakuya glanced at Shisui, and then said: "Are you Uchiha all so bad-mouthed? Don't you worry about being beaten to death when you go out?"

Zhisui was speechless. The attitude of this group of tribesmen was indeed a bit arrogant.

Although the strength of the Fugaku clan leader is good, he cannot meet the standards for running for Hokage, unless the Sannin and Namikaze Minato give up the campaign and hand over the Hokage position to Uchiha.

However, the most foul-mouthed and arrogant person here is probably you.

The internal slander was the internal slander, and Shisui also saw that Byakuya did not have any killing intention. The reason why he had been stalling for time was probably to wait for them to give conditions.

"Sir, what price do you have to pay to let us go?"

Seeing Shisui taking the initiative to negotiate, Byakuya stretched out his finger and said: "One million taels for genin, three million taels for chunin, and ten million taels for jounin. As long as you pay, I will release you immediately."

"In addition, everyone who has scolded me before will have to pay more, five hundred thousand at a time."

After hearing Byakuya's public offer, these Uchiha became red-hot again.

They are arrogant Uchiha, how can they pay a ransom to a brat, and if they are so cheap, do they look down on their Uchiha and the Sharingan Blood Successor.

Shisui was calculating the ransom. The total of two Jonin and six Chuunin was 38 million taels. Adding the previous insult fee, the total was 40 million taels.

This amount is not too high, but the problem is that they can't afford that much money now. Whoever goes out on a mission will bring a lot of money with him.

The only valuable things they had on them were detonating charms and weapons.

After thinking about it in his mind for a while, he just shouted to the Uchiha next to him: "Brother Tiehuo, the katana on my body is worth several million taels. You should also chip in and give the money to the gentleman in front of you."

"Shisui, you really plan to pay the ransom. If this spreads out, what will happen to our Uchiha's face?"

Zhisui sighed: "Compared to money and face, I think the lives of our companions are more important. If this delay continues, we will not be able to participate in the frontline war."

Tiehuo hesitated, but he still couldn't let go of Uchiha's dignity and glory.

At this time, Bai Ye walked up to the two of them, squatted and said, "That's right, why is money more important than life? I won't tell anyone what happened today. You can just make up any excuse."

"I don't see you thinking about us." Tie Huo didn't look good on Bai Ye.

Bai Ye nodded slightly and accepted the praise calmly: "I also think that I am a good person. Since I became a ninja, I have saved many ninjas and prevented many tragedies from happening."

Looking at the shameless Bai Ye, Tie Huo turned his head and chose to seal himself.

However, Shisui slowly moved to his companions and persuaded them one by one to take out their belongings. After gathering all the valuable things, the value was only about thirty million taels.

There is still ten million taels short of the 40 million taels of ransom required by Bai Ye. In other words, at least one of them cannot leave directly and must stay with Bai Ye.

After looking at the belongings on the ground, Bai Ye nodded and waved his hand to signal the sanjiaoyu to swallow them all.

Immediately, Byakuya threw the antidote to Shisui.

Shisui took one himself first, and after confirming that there was no problem, he threw it to the others.

After seeing them all take the antidote, Byakuya said calmly: "Shisui stays, and the rest of the Uchiha can leave?"

"Why did Shisui stay?" Tiehuo frowned.

Without waiting for Bai Ye to explain, Zhisui took the initiative and said: "I stay here voluntarily. You guys rush to the front line to support the village. As long as you raise enough money, nothing will happen to me."

After hearing this, Tiehuo and other Uchiha looked at each other.

Uchiha never gave up on his people, but now that all their weapons had been confiscated, the chance of counterattacking the opponent was slim. It seemed that they could only leave temporarily and go to the front line to seek support.

After exchanging glances, Tiehuo and the other Uchiha all left.

In the huge open space, only Byakuya and Shisui were left.
