Chapter 9 Chakra Metal (seeking further reading)

Think about it and you will know what good things can happen if a mercenary becomes the leader of the country.

Giving them power is such a waste of resources. Ninjas are still high-income people. The most rubbish D-level tasks cost five thousand taels, and they are so simple that even ordinary people can do them, such as finding cats and cleaning up garbage.

If they are not given power, the daimyo and the nobles will be worried. If a tailed beast jade comes while sleeping, they will die without knowing how.

When Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama were fighting, there was probably a violent earthquake hundreds of kilometers away. It would be strange for ordinary people not to be afraid.

Uchiha Yoichi has never worried about money since he came to the ninja world. He can't get money no matter how powerful he is. He has been wandering around the country of fire for a while. I can only say that the security of most places in the country of fire is pretty good. .

Some of the guards of nobles and merchants were samurai who did not know how to use chakra. If Uchiha Yoichi wanted to 'borrow' some money from them, it would be easy.

Danzo has done so many bad things, has anyone ever punished him? If not because of the benefits of occupying a high position, those who wanted to sue him might have gone away.

"Old man, hasn't that Uchiha brat come back yet?"

With a bang, the door to the Hokage's office was kicked open. Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't even have time to put away the crystal ball, so he could only cover it with a piece of cloth.

Then Sarutobi Hiruzen said to Tsunade with a bad expression: "Tsunade, next time you come in, can you knock on the door first? I am getting old too, and I will feel uncomfortable if you scare me like this."

"Stop talking about those irrelevant things. How about the thing I asked you to investigate last time?"

Tsunade said nonchalantly that she, the Hokage teacher, can live much longer than others, at least until she is sixty or seventy years old.

"Two ANBU teams are investigating, but there is no response record from the barrier team. There are not many spies who can lurk into Konoha. Recently, after the ANBU and the security team tracked down two, there are no others."

Sarutobi Hiruzen calmly put away the crystal ball wrapped in cloth, then picked up his pipe, lit it, took a puff, and continued.

"As for Uchiha Yoichi, he hasn't come back yet, but he has completed the B-level mission assigned to him. He should be wandering outside the village now."

"Tsk!"

Tsunade clicked her tongue in displeasure after hearing this.

Sarutobi Hiruzen continued: "Tsunade, you said he knows the Thunder Chakra mode. I haven't found any information yet. The only thing that can be confirmed is that Uchiha Yoichi had a mission five months ago. Except for him, everyone in the team was killed by the Kumo ninja."

"That should be the only time he had contact with Kumo Ninja, but later the ANBU found out an important movement of Kumo Ninja based on the information provided by Uchiha Yoichi. Where did you get the information?"

Tsunade tilted her head and said, "Don't worry so much. Anyway, my information is absolutely accurate and I can't lie to you."

Do you want her to say that she saw it when she turned into a wild boar and was almost killed by Uchiha Yoichi?

Putting aside whether Sarutobi Hiruzen would believe this, she couldn't tell such a shameful thing, and it would be impossible for her to tell her even if she died.

"But the ANBU carefully asked all his existing teammates, and none of them had seen him use the Thunder Release Ninjutsu. The leading jounin when he graduated from the ninja school also said that Uchiha Yoichi had fire attributes."

Sarutobi Hiruzen had tried his best to let the ANBU investigate, but the information found out was that Uchiha Yoichi was normal, with no signs of being a spy. A Magatama Sharingan could also confirm that he was a standard Uchiha.

Letting rumors spread and not recommending him to form a team was the limit that the Uchiha clan could accept.

If the investigation goes too far, I'm afraid the Uchiha clan will also be dissatisfied.

"Tsunade, do you have any ideas about bringing up students? There are many talented students in the ninja school, like Sakumo's son, who is now a chuunin."

"Don't think about it, old man, I won't be able to stay in Konoha long."

Tsunade interrupted before Sarutobi Hiruzen could finish.

Since the last time she saw Kato Dan's death, Tsunade has discovered that she has become afraid of blood. Now she can't even perform surgery, so why should she take care of her students!

With students, she can neither take them on tasks nor teach them medical ninjutsu. What is she doing with students like this?

"The ANBU has extra manpower, so lend it to me so they can investigate what I said. That matter is very important."

After saying that, Tsunade turned around and left. If she stayed here again, the old man would nag her about taking care of students.

"I can't even learn to close the door."

Seeing Tsunade leaving, Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly put down his pipe and closed the door. Then he took out the crystal ball and used the telescope technique again.

But when he looked at the screen displayed on the crystal ball again, he immediately sighed: "Hey, why is it just finished?"

"Well done, this is the reward."

The person in charge of the underground money exchange in Kawatake County of the Land of Fire took out a wad of money and handed it to Uchiha Yoichi, then continued to ask: "Do you still want to accept the reward? There have been a lot of assassination and sabotage missions recently. If you dare Those who take over the Land of Fire and Konoha, the reward will be increased tenfold!"

"Forget it, is Konoha so easy to mess with? You're not afraid of being caught here!"

"What am I afraid of? This is a stronghold. If someone takes over the mission, I will return to the Country of Grass regardless of success or failure. If I succeed, I will just come to the Country of Grass to receive my reward. How dare Konoha ninjas invade the Country of Grass on a large scale?"

The person in charge of the money exchange said nonchalantly, how much does a stronghold cost? Complete a bounty mission and get all the commission back.

"The employer has put in a lot of effort this time. Those ministers from the Fire Country can earn at least tens of millions of taels by killing one of them. What do you think? Do you want to give it a try?"

Uchiha Yang shook his head and said: "Don't be ridiculous. No matter how strong I am, if you get involved, you will die. You should find those more famous bounty hunters; and you have done enough tasks. The chakra metal you promised me last time Woolen cloth?"

"How can someone who has completed three A-level bounties in a row be weak? You can't hide it from me."

Seeing that Uchiha Yoichi was unmoved, the person in charge of the money exchange sighed and said: "Forget it, since you are not interested, let's trade. Have you collected enough money?"

Uchiha Yoichi took out a scroll, and after unsealing it, millions of taels appeared.

This is the money he saved from these three bounties. Of course, the bulk is not the reward, but the extra income from bounty missions.

After all, the targets of the assassination must be protected by ninjas. Even ninjas can be hired, so it goes without saying that they are rich.

"It's an advantage for you. If you want to accept the bounty in the future, remember to come to me. I will take care of you more than others."

The person in charge of the money exchange took a look at the money on the ground, confirmed that it was OK, and handed the box he took out of the safe to Uchiha Yoichi.

Chakra metal is of little use to other people, but to ninjas, it is basically a powerful thing.

Ninja tools that can be made sharper and adapted to the flow of chakra are considered superior equipment in online games. In close combat, chakra metal weapons are definitely ten times more powerful than ordinary kunai.

However, due to the scarcity of the quantity and the fact that various ninja villages are collecting it, the circulation of chakra metal is very small.

Uchiha Yoichi also found out that this person had chakra metal in his hands, so he helped him complete several A-level bounties.
