After chatting with Shisui for a while, the butler did not return to the carriage. Instead, he took out a wad of money from the satchel he carried and handed it to Anko. The thickness of the money was exactly the same as that of Shisui. He also warmly talked to him. Anko chatted a few words.

After a while, the butler came to Zhixiong with a thick smile on his face. He also started to stuff a wad of money into Zhixiong's hand. Then, before Zhixiong could put the money away, he added another wad and saw Zhixiong's face. With a questioning look on his face, he added another pile, adding up to a total of 30 taels!

As if afraid that Zhixiong would be dissatisfied, the housekeeper also picked up a small cloth bag from his satchel. When he rubbed it gently with his hands, he could hear a very clear sound, a bit like the friction between glass and glass, but not at all like it. It was hard to hear it through the cloth bag. clear.

"A little souvenir, Master Zhixiong must accept it."

The housekeeper specifically asked for his name and gave him such a generous gift, which seemed to be asking for something.

The whole process of this task was between Shisui and the butler, and Zhixiong didn't take the initiative to tell him his name.

After seeing Zhixiong accept it, the housekeeper gently patted Zhixiong's hand holding the bag: "Our master is very optimistic about you, if..."

Seeing that Zhixiong's breathing was a little heavy, the housekeeper was startled. He must not do bad things with good intentions, and quickly changed his tone: "I mean, if, if, my master is thirsty for talents, and even the ninjas from Xiao Ninja Village will not refuse, If you come over, our master will definitely offer you a price that satisfies you.”

Reaching out to avoid hitting the smiling person, who had such a low attitude, Zhixiong said with a normal smile: "Okay, I understand your master's intention, I will consider this matter."

"Oh, okay, I'll go back first. You'll have to worry about it on the way."

After the butler said hello, he returned to the master with brisk steps to report that the task assigned by the master had been completed. Whether it could be fulfilled depends on God's will.

Setting out again, Zhixiong opened the bag and found that inside was a very unique pearl necklace. No wonder the butler said it was a local product. Isn't the south of the Fire Country close to the sea?

This pearl necklace is round and jade-like. Zhixiong played with it for a while and it turned out to be very beautiful. It is indeed a souvenir. The shape of each pearl is close to a perfect circle.

Compared with those raised in freshwater, they look much better than freshwater pearls in terms of appearance. There is nothing we can do about it. Due to the limited breeding conditions of freshwater pearls, it is difficult to produce such round and large pearls.

But this housekeeper is too short-sighted. Which boy do you think would give a slightly old-fashioned decoration like pearls to a young woman?

Even if it was given to his parents, he couldn't give it away even if he wanted to.

Putting away these frivolous thoughts, Zhixiong played with the pearl necklace in his hand for a while and put it away. He would see who is destined to see it and give it to her if he likes it.

The few wandering ninjas behind showed envious eyes. He had seen it a long time ago, but he didn't care about it.

If you are envious, feel free to envy him. Anyway, he got it by his own ability. If you have the ability, you can ask Minister Murakami for a reward and see if he gives it to you.

Without Minister Murakami acting like a monster, the rest of the journey went very smoothly, except that it rained for a few days and everyone was quite embarrassed.

The roof of Minister Murakami's carriage was not very rainproof. Although the weather was hot, his body bones were already full of holes after being carefully cared for by his wife and concubine.

It rained a few times, but luckily he didn't get sick. In the end, Zhixiong took some measures to make him become more energetic again, for the sake of giving him money and souvenirs.

Of course, he won't miss a penny of the money he deserves.

In order to regain a good relationship with Shixiong, Minister Murakami turned into a money-spreading boy and treated him in different ways every day.

By the time he returned to Konoha, he had paid more than 100,000 taels of treatment fees to Shixiong along the way. This was a net income without deductions.

The few rebel ninjas were jealous and annoyed themselves more than once. Why didn't they also learn medical ninjutsu? What's the difference between this and picking up money, and they didn't have to live a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife every day.

I regret it!

Seeing the familiar gate of Konoha again, Minister Murakami had mixed feelings in his heart. He promised not to play with fire again next time. Being able to return to Konoha this time could be regarded as saving a small life.

He also turned back into the aloof Murakami Minister again, instead of a big fat sheep who smiled at a few rebellious ninjas.

Without waiting for Shisui to take him to hand over the task, he and Zhixiong said goodbye politely, and the butler drove the carriage into the village on his own.

Before entering the village, the three rebellious ninjas had already put away their forehead protectors, disguised their faces, and followed Minister Murakami. If they were left alone, they would be discovered by ninjas from the same village. , this is a matter of life and death.

Shisui ignored Minister Murakami's arrogance and let Anko disband on his own. He brought Shixiong to the Hokage's office and respectfully handed over the mission log.

The Hokage's office was quite busy today. The huge office opened up a reception area.

At this time, Minato also had the Third Hokage, as well as Koharu who had transferred to the dormitory, and Mito Kadeni. Of course, Danzo, the troublemaker, was indispensable.

I don’t know if they were reminiscing about old times or discussing things, but the tea on the table was no longer hot.

Minato, who was sitting on the sofa, took the mission log handed over by Shisui and opened it to read.

Next to him, Sandai, who was wearing casual clothes, took two puffs of cigarette and turned to look at Shisui with a smile on his face: "Is this mission going well?"

This mission was carefully chosen by him and Minato. Not only was the mission simple, but it could also leave a good impression in front of the Minister of Fire Country. It would also be nice to have a ladder in case he had to deal with the Daimyo and others in the future.

Thinking of this, Sandai turned his attention to Zhixiong next to Shisui. He didn't know whether little Zhixiong could understand the old man's care.

Thinking of this, the third generation took a puff of cigarette. People from Uchiha have more delicate thoughts. Shisui must have explained it to him.

Zhisui smiled bitterly and roughly recounted what happened on the road. Of course, he only briefly touched on Zhixiong's story, and mainly talked about the last bandit leader's story.

After listening to this, Sandai simply doubted that he was still asleep, and even the two consultants Mito Kadoyan and Koharu Koharu looked shocked.

It's normal for bandits to appear in the Land of Fire, but bandits appear in large numbers in the Land of Fire, holding kunai and knowing some simple three-body techniques, which is very thought-provoking.

A large number of enemy ninjas have entered the Land of Fire. No matter how powerful they are, they are not something ordinary villagers can handle. Even the ministers can contact them, but the Hokage has not received any news at all. Those who do the intelligence must be damned~!

They all turned their attention to Danzo, who was expressionless, and said that as the root of Konoha, your intelligence work was too sparse.

Danzo tried hard to maintain his cold persona, only showing one eye, and looked at Shisui with disdain: "The mistake at the border post caused ninjas from other villages to lurk in. This is how it should be."
