Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 302 I'm Terrifyingly Strong

When passing through the Land of Rain, Ye Guang felt a strong urge to go.

He felt incredibly strong and wanted to show You Jia his rhythm and technique, which were nearing completion.

It's a pity that Nara Baika is with me. I should just bear with it and not expose myself in front of Nara Baika.

After entering the Land of Earth, Nara Baika found an underground gold exchange.

In an abandoned sheep pen in a high-altitude mountainous area, the ground was covered with sheep droppings.

The two changed their clothes and entered the sheepfold.

After striking the wall using special methods, a large chunk of soil fell off, revealing a cave.

Upon entering the cave, Ye Guang saw a basement similar to the underground gold exchange in the Land of Fire.

A long counter divides the basement into a front and back area.

At each of the four corners of the front area stood a guard.

The counter staff member was a middle-aged man. At a glance, he seemed quite capable, either a high-ranking ninja or a very high-ranking ninja.

Nara Umeka said, "We've come to collect the bounty."

The luminous light removed the bandages from the corpse, revealing Tian Chu's body.

The person in charge examined the body and then carefully compared it with the manual.

He even flipped the corpse's wrist over to examine the knife scars on the back of its hand.

The underground gold exchange was very powerful; they even knew that Tian had a scar on the back of his hand.

Ye Guang thought to himself, "Perhaps it was a nobleman from the Wind Kingdom who sent the information to the underground gold exchange."

How interesting! The village and the country are not as harmonious as they seem on the surface.

The ninja village is enraged and will assassinate the nobles.

If the nobles are enraged, they will offer a bounty on the ninja.

Both sides maintained a facade of cooperation, but in reality, they both felt that the other was going too far.

The person in charge said, "That's right, it is indeed Tadashi, a Jonin from the Sand Village, a powerful puppeteer. The bounty is 1600 million ryo, and I'll give you the reward."

He took out a money box from under the counter and said, "Here is 500 million taels. You will need to go to two more places to collect the remaining money."

Nara Baika asked, "Why don't you just give me all the bounty?"

The person in charge said, "Bounty hunters used to rob underground money exchange shops. To avoid similar incidents, each underground money exchange shop will not have too much money in it."

So, I'll have to make a few trips to both places.

The underground gold exchange offices are quite cautious nowadays, but more than twenty years later, Kakuzu was able to take all of the bounty from the Riku in one go.

The two left the underground gold exchange.

Nara Baika swept the air in front of her: "It smells like sheep dung, it's really awful."

She unfolded the small piece of paper and said, "The next location is a town in the Land of Waterfalls, and the location after that is Kyoto in the Land of Grass."

"1600 million taels of silver, a huge sum of money. We should still make the trip."

Ye Guang said, "Let's find a hotel to rest first. We must be tired from walking such a long way."

Nara Umeka leaned closer: "Which position's technique would you like to know?"

"I've completely mastered the front and back views. I wonder if there are any special angles from the side?"

Along the way, she learned many new techniques and gained a lot of knowledge, but Ye Guang consciously used the birth control ninja scroll.

He didn't want Nara Meika to get pregnant, fearing she would find out something.

In a cabinet in a town in the Land of Waterfalls, they found a second money box.

Ye Guang said to Nara Meika, "The underground gold exchange has so many subordinates; they have people everywhere."

"I'll ambush the last money box in the Land of Grass beforehand to see who placed it."

Between the tents in Kyoto, the Land of Grass, the moonlight entered the location indicated on the note early in the morning.

Ok?
He saw a child place a money box under a sheepskin.

After the child left, Ye Guang followed. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he grabbed the child and took him to an empty tent.

They used genjutsu to control a child who had no chakra and obtained some information.

A young man gave the child 50 taels of silver and asked the child to put the box under a sheepskin.

The child happily agreed.

As for information about that young man, the child didn't know either.

After dispelling the child's illusions, Ye Guang left empty-handed.

Nara Baika received the last money box and said:
"Fox, there's no need to get hung up on the information about the underground gold exchange."

The underground gold exchange was an organization established by daimyo from various countries, originally intended to use money to deal with wandering ninjas who offended them.

However, this organization has grown larger and larger, and now major ninja villages are also starting to utilize it.

The details of the underground gold exchange are unimportant, as long as it can be used by Konoha.

The task related to the underground gold exchange was led by Nara Kazuno. They said the details didn't matter, so they didn't matter.
-
The full moon was like a silver plate.

This journey started from Konoha, passed through the Land of Rivers, the Land of Wind, the Land of Rain, the Land of Waterfalls, the Land of Grass, and finally returned to the Land of Fire.

I rushed around this month.

On the night of the full moon, in a town in the Land of Fire, Nara Meika, panting, got off the fox and collapsed softly to the side.

She stared unfocusedly into the fox's eyes:
"After you return to the village, you will be staying at the Dark Guard base, and we will have very few opportunities to meet."

I've taught you all my last tricks, so I have no regrets.

Yoru put his arm around Nara Umeka's shoulder and said:

"I'll come to you even when I don't have any missions."

Think again, is there any other trick I haven't told you?
I can't think of it now, but I'll think about it later. I'll discuss the secrets of angle and frequency with you from time to time.

Nara Umeka blushed: "I don't have that much experience. I only know the angle because I've experienced it firsthand!"

“We are ninjas, ninjas whose lives are uncertain and who could die at any moment. I don’t have those ridiculous notions of chastity that nobles have, so there’s no need for me to say anything more.”

After returning to Konoha Village, Nara Baika and Yagami went to turn in the mission.

Inside the Hokage's office, Nara Shikazuki said to the Third Hokage:

"Lord Hokage, this time Meika and the fox went around and opened up the loophole of using the underground gold exchange to offer bounties to enemy village ninjas."

Assassination and bounty hunting can be combined.

After the secret service team killed a few people according to the assassination manual, they switched to the underground gold exchange.

In this way, our assassinations will be much more covert, making them much harder for other ninja villages to defend against.

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, "What if other ninja villages also use underground gold exchange offices to offer bounties?"

Nara Shikano said, "The Land of Fire is the richest of the five great nations."

The vassal states of the Land of Fire—the Land of Rivers, the Land of Grass, the Land of Hot Water, and the Land of Whirlpools—also contributed a great deal of wealth.

The rewards for ordinary ninja missions are not much, which is to encourage ninjas to complete their missions well and not to be greedy for enjoyment.

However, Konoha Village has a very high fiscal surplus.

If other ninja villages use underground gold exchange centers, we can simply overwhelm them with money; that's our advantage.

I've calculated it; our fiscal surplus is perfectly fine.

Ye Guang was taken aback. So the village's higher-ups knew that ordinary Konoha ninjas were poor.

The village is very rich, while ordinary Konoha ninjas are very poor. Is this to motivate ordinary ninjas to complete their missions well?
As expected of Nara deer antlers, you've arranged everything perfectly.

Is this Konoha's policy of weakening and exhausting its people?
We can't let the ninjas eat too much, or they won't complete their missions.

After leaving the Hokage's office, Yagami made an excuse to go and take a look at Root.

I wonder if the newcomers at the root think of him.
