Forced to sell misery

-

A light drizzle fell, and the whole world was hazy.

Jing Ye raised his head and looked at the sky at a 45-degree angle...

With a coat covering his head, Jingye turned his head and looked at Kisame.

“You’ll get sick.”

Turning his face away awkwardly, Kisame loosened his hand, and the coat covering Jing Ye's head instantly covered his face.

"……I see."

Pulling off his coat, Jing Ye's mouth twitched a little...

This guy Kisame...

Is this the tenderness that Kisame originally had towards Itachi?

But...why is it that he is like an old father taking care of a disobedient child? !

Besides, it’s such a light rain, so even if I get wet for a while, I won’t catch a cold, right?!

He wasn't very sad... he was just... he was mourning the box of gambling money that was lost by Obito... that's all.

The ideal is beautiful, but he cannot fall on the road to achieving the ideal... To be more realistic -

Yes, he has no money.

Although he had never cared about money - he had family to take care of him in Konoha, and even if the Uchiha clan left later, they left him enough money to live a life of ease and comfort... There were also some family businesses that were said to be "temporarily taken over by Konoha".

Later, he foolishly committed suicide and rebelled against Konoha... Maybe all that was left to Sasuke and Itachi who moved to Konoha after him.

Anyway, Danzo was defeated by him, and the Uchiha clan is still fine, so he is not afraid that the Konoha high-level officials will have any ideas about the industries left in Konoha under the name of Uchiha.

After that, he lived a "VIP" life in Orochimaru's base with everything provided for him.

But after being tricked by Obito into joining Akatsuki, he became very pitiful. He had to hand over all the money he earned from taking missions... If he couldn't afford it or paid too little, he would have to be prepared to face the "death threat" from Mr. Kakuzu.

Although he had a share, but... first there was Biwa Juuzou and then there was Kisame, and these two people took good care of him under Obito's intentional arrangement.

But! He is not a real child, so does he need to ask his partner for money if he wants to buy something?!

How can it be? !

He is the great Suzaku of Akatsuki. Does Uchiha Kagamiya still want to save his face?

So Uchiha Jingye was in a miserable situation... When he really wanted to spend money to buy something, Jingye found that he really... literally, didn't have a penny...

I wonder if he can sell the pile of detonating tags that the organization has allocated in his backpack...

No, if he did that, Kakuzu would definitely give him the "death stare"...

The fastest way to make money...

Bet?

No, he would not go into the casino again... Actually, the truth is, he couldn't even if he wanted to... Technically speaking, he was still a minor.

It was Tsunade who brought him in last time. When those people in the casino saw the "legendary big fat sheep", they wanted to invite her in with a sedan chair. As for the people brought in by the "big fat sheep"... they were probably just servants of the big fat sheep who came with cash boxes to deliver money to them.

There is no need to care about those things. The most important thing is of course to make a fortune... With this idea in mind, Jing Ye was not noticed at all and sneaked in easily.

Of course, those who underestimated Jing Ye must have regretted it later...

then what should we do?

Little Jingye was very sad.

and many more!

Speaking of making money...he thought of someone.

So... do a good deed by robbing the rich to help the poor! Even though the poor person he helps is himself.

The winding waterway is dotted with Metasequoia trees. Passing through the bridge hole, you will reach this country on the water.

The boatman stopped the boat at the shore, the bell made a crisp sound, Jing Ye slightly lifted his hat and walked ashore.

By the way... maybe he knows where Itachi's standard hat-holding action came from -

This bamboo hat is too big, and it always falls down to block his vision. Although he doesn't need to use his eyes to see, he will feel very uncomfortable if he doesn't hold it...

I always feel like something strange has suddenly collapsed.

Oh, yes, it’s a character setting…

Dumpling Shop

Jing Ye sat on a stool, biting a string of dumplings, tilting his head and lowering his eyes thoughtfully.

It's really not easy that such stores are still open.

The situation in Wave Country... was better than he had imagined. It wasn't as bad as when Naruto and his companions were on their mission in the original novel, with supplies scarce and the streets deserted. But the atmosphere was still dull and depressing...

At this time... Cardo should be targeting the Land of Waves soon, right?

But... no matter how you look at it, it's not a place that people like.

It’s better to solve it as soon as possible.

Walking out of the dumpling shop, Jingye and Kisame walked on the road.

"stop!"

"Catch that woman—"

At the corner of the street, a girl in a kimono holding a shopping bag ran past in panic, followed by several people who looked malicious.

"Hug, sorry!"

The panicked girl bumped into Jing Ye who was passing by the street corner at the same time. The shopping belt in her hand fell to the ground, and bread and other things were scattered all over the floor.

She quickly bowed to Jing Ye and apologized. The girl turned around in panic and looked at the people chasing after her. She ran away without even having time to pick up her things.

"and many more--"

The girl was startled when her wrist was grabbed, and she lost her balance and fell into the arms of the man behind her.

A cool breath like ice and snow filled his arms. Jing Ye looked down at the swirl of hair of the girl who had bumped into his arms, and his mood was complicated for a moment.

What kind of melodramatic plot is this that is common in idol dramas?!

"Hey, let that woman go!"

The crowd that was chasing after the girl saw this "hero saving the beauty" scene when they turned the corner, and they all shouted angrily.

"..."

Looking at the men coming aggressively, Jing Ye tilted his head, raised the corners of his lips, and asked in a very provocative manner, "What if I don't?"

"You guy..."

The pursuers glanced at Kisame who looked like someone who was not easy to mess with beside Jing Ye, and shouted fiercely,

"How dare you touch the woman that our consortium's master Cardo has set his eyes on?!"

"..."

Jing Ye was speechless for a moment.

Are the IQs of these minions, who don’t even deserve names, so touching?

But... Cardo?

It seems that there is no need to worry about finding out the news.

His eyes turned scarlet, and three magatama appeared. Jing Ye looked at the group of people "kindly" with a gentle smile.

-

"What? He's just a gangster who uses Cardo's name to do evil things in town."

Throwing away the collar of the last minion, Jing Ye clapped his hands in disdain and sighed with regret.

"Thank you, thank you,"

An apple was handed to her. The girl was stunned for a moment as she squatted down to pick up the things that had been scattered on the ground.

Although he looks a little fierce, but... he is unexpectedly a good person. The girl smiled, took the apple handed to her by Kisame, and thanked him politely.
