Chapter 131 The Ninja World Money Measurement Unit!
Tsunade squatted on the spot, watching Uchiha Itachi's short figure gradually go away. This kid is only seven years old this year, and he is not afraid of the curse of death...
At such a young age, do you already have the consciousness to die for it?
A complex bitter smile slowly appeared on Jin Zianzang's still delicate face, one by one, all like this... Is it just for that light when the fire is extinguished?
"Tsunade-sama, why did you give Itachi the necklace of the First Lord?" Shizune stepped forward, helped her stand up curiously and said, "Itachi...it seems like he doesn't have much desire to become Hokage, right?"
Tsunade shook her head: "The last time Konoha and Kumogakure almost had a war, I went to the camp and learned about the recent events in the village from Jiraiya..."
Tsunade told the changes in Konoha Village bit by bit, including the fact that the village was trying to figure out how to deal with the relationship between Uchiha and Konoha's senior officials, as well as Uchiha Itachi's role in it.
"That kid didn't say anything. He didn't even think about it seriously. He is already the most suitable candidate for Hokage in Konoha. He is smart, talented, and powerful. Even Jiraiya is optimistic about Hatake.
Kakashi is also much worse than him..."
Tsunade pondered: "The only thing that is criticized is the Uchiha's stance. After all, they have been isolated from the village for too long."
"That's why Tsunade-sama would..."
"Yes! As the son of the Uchiha clan leader, he has been running around for so long for me, an old woman of Senju blood, without any complaints..." Tsunade nodded, recalling the person who cared for her in this way.
If I remember correctly, there should be only two people who can tolerate her unconditionally like Itachi. One of them is Senju Hashirama, and the other should be named Orochimaru.
A drop of cold sweat suddenly broke out on Tsunade's nose: "..."
Thinking about it again, I really remembered it correctly...
Orochimaru did take good care of her, and even Jiraiya too.
Although that guy is cold and ruthless, no matter what unreasonable demands his companions make, even if they are against the wishes of the Third Hokage, Orochimaru will find a way to solve them no matter how difficult it is.
I still miss those days a little bit...
the other side.
Itachi didn't know Tsunade's evaluation of him yet. He and Kitahara were planning to buy specialties in Yunin Village and bring them back as souvenirs.
The lazy peace has returned to Yunin Village. Since the confrontation between Konoha and Kumogakure ended, Rose Shopping Street has become lively again.
"A new hot spring is going to be opened in the village?"
"Yes, I heard that a large lake appeared inexplicably in the forest on the border..."
"I don't know how long it will take until it is officially opened! The volcano there is still flowing lava everywhere, and it's so foggy that you can't see anything clearly!"
"This is a gift from the gods to our village!"
Uchiha Itachi listened to the latest news from Yunin Village and subconsciously pressed his Konoha forehead protector. The crow on his shoulder listened with interest.
"Gah!"
Beiyuan nodded in admiration, nature is so wonderful!
Uchiha Itachi rubbed its wings helplessly: "Kitahara, come with me to see what gifts you should bring back to your family!"
While the young ninja was touring the commercial streets of Tang Ninja Village, he muttered: "Dad and mom don't come out very often, so I have to help them prepare something that suits their needs..."
While walking, Itachi's eyes suddenly stopped and stared at a small stall with a string of huge meatballs painted on the stall's sign.
"Are there actually three-color meatballs here?"
Uchiha Itachi pondered for a moment and said: "Forget it, let's eat first..."
Beiyuan: "..."
After raising it for several years, why is it still so useless?
"Little brother, our three-color meatballs are a flavored dessert from Tang Ninja Country. There are six flavors. Do you want a bag?"
"Well, here are two bags!"
The greedy boy nodded sharply and stretched out two fingers.
Itachi casually took out his wallet and scratched his head in confusion. It seemed that when he and Shizune went out to buy wine for Tsunade that night, they didn't have enough money, so they paid the bill with their own private money.
Beihara looked at the empty wallet, then slowly retracted it, and shamelessly stretched out his wings to comfort the boy.
"It seems we can only make money the old way..."
Uchiha Itachi took out the small notebook given in exchange for gold and flipped through it casually. Not to mention bringing gifts, he didn't even have the money to buy skewered meatballs...
The problem is, without Tsunade's information, where can he find a guy with a bounty on his head?
"Little brother, please give way!"
A young man in slovenly clothes suddenly appeared, pushed Itachi's shoulder and pushed him aside, smiling brightly and said to the boss: "Here are two bags of meatballs, want each flavor. I haven't had the ones from Yunin Village for a long time."
Dessert is here!”
"..."
Uchiha Itachi raised his head and glanced at the sloppy young man who suddenly appeared. He felt that he looked a little familiar.
Uchiha Itachi lowered his head, and the black book in his hand happened to record a new big shot who had recently joined the exchange. He got a bounty of up to 10 million taels for being on the money exchange list!
"Oh? Are you a ninja in the village? Have you just graduated at such a young age?" The young man noticed Itachi's forehead protector and his eyes fell on the black book in the young man's hand.
His face is clearly drawn on it.
Sarutobi Asuma.
The second son of the Third Hokage of Konoha.
One of the "Twelve Guardian Shinobi" of the Land of Fire.
Reward: 10 million taels.
Human heads or corpses can be redeemed.
Kitahara's eyes lit up for a moment, and then dimmed. Although Asma was the monetary unit of measurement in the ninja world and was expensive, it was something he couldn't touch.
"...Ninjas from the same village are prohibited from fighting each other."
Sarutobi Asuma didn't know why, but he subconsciously uttered such a sentence, and he added: "I think I haven't been labeled a traitor by the old man yet!"
Uchiha Itachi nodded and turned to the next page.
Even though they were not familiar with each other, Uchiha Itachi originally didn't want to do anything to Asuma. The people he chose were mainly looking for people with evil intentions.
A bald monk came over: "Asuma, I guessed you would be here. We can go to Shukubou tonight. The Shojin cuisine at Sennoji Temple is also delicious!"
Uchiha Itachi glanced at the monk, then looked down at the black book in his hand, which had a drawing of a young monk.
Ground 6.
The Ninja Monk of the Fire Temple.
One of the "Twelve Guardian Shinobi" of the Land of Fire.
Reward: five million taels.
Human heads or corpses can be redeemed.
Di Liu didn't feel embarrassed, but instead asked curiously: "Why do Konoha's ninjas come out to do the gold exchange mission..."
"Asuma-senpai, how is your relationship with him?" Itachi Uchiha ignored him and looked at the most rebellious young man in Konoha.
Sarutobi Asuma said strangely: "The relationship is not bad..."
"oh."
Uchiha Itachi continued to flip through the black book in his hand, and there was another twelve guardian ninjas on it. Sarutobi Asuma quickly stretched out his hand to cover it: "Why don't you stop flipping..."
"Tell me what's going on? I don't think the old man is willing to release Konoha's most talented ninja as a bounty." Asuma took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth: "Tell me, what's going on?"
The young man looked at the three-color meatballs at the stall.
"Your thoughts are very dangerous!" Asma took a bag of three-color meatballs from the stall owner and handed it to the boy, saying softly: "Even if we are ninjas, we can't kill casually!"
"Thank you, Asuma-senpai!"
Uchiha Itachi took it in surprise and replied softly: "I didn't, but there is no information from Tsunade-sama today, so I have to... Phew, it's so hot!"
"Kid, eat slowly!"
Sarutobi Asuma handed him another bag of meatballs and said softly: "Why are you here? Didn't it say that Kumogakure and Konoha have signed a peace agreement?"
Uchiha Itachi thought for a while and gave the young man a bag of three-color meatballs: "...Well, the mission cannot be leaked."
"Forget it, think of it as life money for me and Dilu!"
Sarutobi Asuma chuckled and did not take it. He probably guessed that the old man in their family wanted to find Tsunade or something.
The young man blinked his eyes and suddenly said: "...not enough."
"I lost to you, tell me, how much money is missing?"
Sarutobi Asuma didn't care either. He couldn't ignore it when a fellow village ninja was in trouble, let alone a junior of Uchiha Itachi's age.
The young smoker held his cigarette in his mouth, took out his wallet, and bargained nonchalantly: "Let's agree first, my salary is barely enough for a cigarette."
"Well."
Uchiha Itachi looked at a specialty stall not far away and thought: "About ten thousand taels. I just want to bring some souvenirs back."
"You're really promising. He did a job at the money exchange for ten thousand taels."
Sarutobi Asuma shook his head helplessly, took out a stack of banknotes from his wallet and handed it to the boy: "The prices in Yunin Village are not cheap, take it, it should be enough."
"Thank you, senior!"
"etc!"
Di Liu suddenly spoke up, reaching out and patting his friend's shoulder: "Asma, why don't you introduce this little benefactor?"
