When Uchiha Shisui finished speaking, there was only silence.

Even the wind stopped.

"Humph, I wanted to let you go."

From behind the trees, several men of wretched stature walked out in twos and threes. They vary in height, but each of them has 'the one who comes 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 even revealed the magic of surprise.

"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 didn't seem to be in a hurry. Instead, they looked like predators trying to take advantage of weak prey.

Shisui almost immediately grabbed the weapon and blocked it in front of Ugetsu, and 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's own words gave him 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, and it was the first time Ugetsu faced such a straightforward and dangerous situation. Yes, she had watched a lot of violent movies, but this was a scene that happened around her and could really kill her at any time.

How many fatalities 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.

Plop plop.

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

Couldn't even scream.

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 is wearing 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? Is this also a mission?"

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

Namikaze Minato's gaze collided with Ugetsu's curious gaze behind Shisui. The man smiled brightly almost immediately.

"It's amazing to be running around at such a young age."

Generally speaking, the employers of ninjas are not children - if this happens, most of them are adults who really don't have one at home who can come forward.

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

Dazzling, too dazzling.

After taking care of people with simple and rustic paintings, she was not used to the sudden appearance 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 Yuyue's reserved silence. Namikaze Minato tilted his head, thinking that she was shy and didn't care.

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

Before he could finish his words, the man 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 in the direction he was leaving, Shisui introduced him considerately.

"He is the hero of the village and has the honorific title of 'Yellow Flash'. As long as the enemy hears the name 'Yellow Flash', they will be frightened and flee."

He is such an amazing person?

Ugetsu was in awe.

One person can influence the situation of the war. This must be the level of strategic weapons.

But the words came back 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 who work around him, right? But look, he even dragged people away himself.

and many more.

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 change 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 about it?"

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 a bounty 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 do 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 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 she doesn’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 means of 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 on your own 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 spend any effort to track them down. They seem to be quite leisurely and comfortable.

He even had a drink.

Seeing the men eating lunch and drinking wine and laughing around the campfire, Ugetsu, who was still hungry, felt very angry.

And when I think that the money they spent drinking and eating meat may have been exchanged for their own goods...

Destroy it, leaving no one behind.

Naturally, Shisui didn't know Ugetsu's heartache and pain.

"Don't move here. You can just take a nap. You should be fine when you wake up."

Uchiha Shisui left Ugetsu in a tree a little further away, then quickly cut off a piece of tree trunk to make a temporary 'seat', then put Ugetsu down and fixed it with a rope.

This way, even if Ugetsu falls asleep, she doesn't have to worry about falling.

Although Ugetsu chose to believe in Shisui's strength, when he saw this boy about his own age going to deal with three or four grown men, he still couldn't help but grab his sleeve.

"...Be careful too."

Uchiha Shisui was stunned for a moment, and then broke out into a big smile.

"It doesn't matter. I swear in the name of Uchiha that I will complete the mission successfully."

——Your flag has been raised!

After leaving Ugetsu in a safe place, Shisui quietly lurked near those people.

Three people... no support?

Now is not the best time.

Shisui quickly analyzed the situation on both sides.

Although they were drunk, those people obviously still had a strong ability to resist.

It's better to wait until the alcohol starts to take effect in the body and when several people are more relaxed.

At that time, it was the best time to catch them all in one fell swoop.

So Shisui didn't take action immediately, but quietly lurked like a predator preparing to hunt, waiting for the time to take action.

The three ninjas didn't even notice that they were being targeted, and they were still drinking and eating meat happily.

After drinking for three rounds, one of them sighed: "I'll go back after finishing this job."

Another person immediately scolded after hearing this: "How can you be so cowardly! Have you forgotten our goal!"

"But, but if we don't fight now, when those great ninja villages come back to their senses, we will all be finished!"

The person who spoke first had a look of fear on his face. He had met the elite ninjas of the Great Ninja Village.

Living people are no different from wooden stakes in front of them.

"Don't panic." Third Bulkhead persuaded after drinking the wine in the cup, "It is true that we can't defeat those ninjas in the Great Ninja Village, but aren't they still busy finishing things now? We can definitely take advantage of this opportunity to do it again A few votes.”

"If you have patients at home who are in a hurry for money, you can get a few more."

It is difficult for people who are in a hurry to spend money to stay rational. Compared with other people, they are easier to fool and have more money in their hands.

"Right."

"That's right, that's right. If you make more money, I'll take you to Flower Street! Let me tell you, Miss Peony is really..."

"What is it really?"

A strange and young voice suddenly sounded, and at the same time, there was a cold and hard touch on his neck.

They are all in the business of licking blood from the edge of a knife. It is impossible for a man not to know what is touching his neck.

"How--feed you!"

The man subconsciously wanted to find his companions for help, but found that both of them had fallen to the ground.

is that a lie.

A man is like falling into an ice cave.

The young man behind him who used his slender limbs to firmly restrain the man lost his usual smile and had the unique coldness of a ninja:

"Come on, it's time to settle the score."
