When Uchiha Shisui finished speaking, there was only silence.

Even the wind stopped.

"Humph, I wanted to let you go."

From behind the bushes, several men of wretched stature walked out in twos and threes. They were of different heights, but each of them had 'the one who came here is not good' written all over them.

The hand holding the weapon looked even more ready to move.

He said "let it go", but his face showed the joy of seeing the prey.

Especially when he noticed the forehead protector of Konoha on Uchiha Shisui's head, he was even more surprised and surprised.

"Konoha... Okay, thanks to you Konoha ninjas, our brothers have been suffering a lot lately."

Following the man's words, several people behind him also raised their weapons in response, and the people got closer and closer.

Probably because the opponents were two children, they seemed not in a hurry, but looked like predators trying to take advantage of weak prey.

Shisui almost immediately grabbed the weapon and blocked it in front of Ugetsu. His face that always had a gentle smile turned cold. His eyes moved crazily, observing all the information that could be collected.

One, two... plus the one hiding behind, five people in total?

Only Shisui himself has the confidence to escape from such a siege.

But now there is a helpless girl behind him.

...We have to think of a way.

Shisui was nervous. This was the first time Ugetsu faced such a straightforward and dangerous situation. Yes, she had seen a lot of violent movies, but this was a scene that happened around her and could really kill her at any time.

How many more fatal paths are there in this world???

Yuyue was so nervous that her hands and feet were cold, and her clenched palms were covered in cold sweat.

But soon she noticed that Shisui's body in front of her, which had been extremely tense, suddenly relaxed.

--What's wrong?

Soon, her doubts were answered.

Thump thump thump.

The men who were threatening them with weapons fell to the ground one by one.

I couldn't even scream out.

Then Yuyue thought she saw a ray of sunshine - to be precise, a young man with blond hair as bright as the sun walked out.

The young man has a handsome and sunny face, and a slender figure that cannot be concealed even if he wears an unsightly green vest.

He smiled and greeted the two of them:

"Ah, Shisui and..."

"This is my employer."

Shisui obviously knew the blond man who suddenly appeared, and immediately put down his defensive posture.

"Namikaze-sama is on a mission?"

"Well, there have been more gangsters taking advantage of troubled waters recently, so we need to clean them up."

The blond young man - Namikaze Minato said, stepped forward and patted Shisui on the shoulder.

"What about you? It's also a mission?"

"Yes." Shisui nodded, but did not reveal the mission information. This is also the rule of the ninjas.

Namikaze Minato's gaze collided with Ugetsu's curious gaze behind Shisui. The man almost immediately showed a bright smile.

"It's amazing that you are running around at such a young age."

Generally speaking, the employers of ninjas are not children - if this happens, most of the time it is an adult who really does not have one at home who can come forward.

The young man's smile seemed to make the whole space a little brighter. Yuyue subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

Dazzling, too dazzling.

After taking care of people with a simple and rustic style of painting, she was not used to the sudden arrival of such a person with a solar attribute.

It's a bit troublesome.

I'm not very good at dealing with such a little sun-type social nerd.

Facing Ugetsu's reserved silence, Namikaze Minato tilted his head, thinking it was because she was shy and didn't care.

"I have other work, so I'll see you back in the village."

Before the words could even be finished, the person mentioned several robbers whose life and death were unknown and disappeared from the spot like magic.

"That's Namikaze Minato-sama."

Seeing that Ugetsu was still looking towards the direction he was leaving, Shisui introduced him considerately.

"He is a hero in the village, with the honorific title of 'Yellow Flash'. Enemies will be frightened and flee as soon as they hear the name 'Yellow Flash'."

He is such an amazing person?

Yuyue stood in awe.

One person can influence the situation of the war. This must be at the level of a strategic weapon.

But then again.

"When such a powerful person goes out, he doesn't have a younger brother or something?"

Logically speaking, a strong man of this level would have to have three or two subordinates working around him, right? But you see, he even dragged people away by himself.

etc.

Drag people away?

"In your place, if you kill someone, do you have to take them back before they can be revived?"

Yuyue thought for a moment and went there

"That's not true. These people can still go to the money exchange to exchange money."

What?

money?

If you talk about money, then I won't be sleepy.

Yuyue, who was so poor that she wished she could break it into three pieces with a steel hammer, immediately came over.

"Tell me more details?"

In the dead of night, beside the campfire, there was a girl looking at the night sky in a daze.

Through Shisui's explanation, Ugetsu unlocked a new knowledge about the ninja world.

That is, in addition to the ninja villages of regular ninjas and the wave ninjas who do not belong to any ninja village, there is also a unit that can hire ninjas (or related to ninjas), called the "gold exchange house".

This is similar to the mercenary union in RPG games.

Someone will post bounties here, and each bounty has different rewards. People can come back with evidence after killing the corresponding ninja to exchange for money.

However, unlike the mercenary union in the game, the gold exchange itself does not provide ninja registration, and there are no ninjas subordinate to it.

The functional nature is more like an intermediary, except that the transactions are basically human lives.

"I see."

Yuyue thought for a few seconds, then rolled his eyes.

She felt like she had discovered a new business opportunity.

Although she definitely can't run this business on her own.

But she could definitely take back those wandering ninjas as extra money while getting her own goods back.

A horse will not be fat without night grass, and a man will not be rich without windfall.

This must be a gift she gave to herself because she was so miserable that she couldn't stand it any longer!

Shisui looked at his employer whose expression changed for a moment, thought for a moment, and still maintained his business smile.

...Although I don’t know what’s going on, she is the employer, and she just needs to be happy.

The journey after parting with Namikaze Minato was very peaceful. Except for the fact that the transportation was a ninja, which allowed Ugetsu to experience the feeling of being in the Santukawa River again, it can definitely be rated as a five-star.

You don’t need to walk by yourself when climbing a mountain, and you don’t need to exert any effort when going down a mountain.

Someone will take care of you when you eat and sleep. Just sit aside and wait, and everything will be delivered to you.

Is this the warmth of a mother? I love it.

With Shisui's super tracking ability, they quickly found the group of Lang Ninja who stole the goods.

They probably feel that all the major ninja villages are cleaning up the mess now, and the employers are all small traders with little money, so they won't take the time to track them down. They seem to be quite leisurely and comfortable.

He even had a drink.
