He was in Konoha, and his domineering aura was overflowing.

Turning around, I realized that Haiyi in the mountains had vanished.

"Big brother! From now on, whoever you say you want to kill, we'll kill!"

Although the civilians were a beat slower in their actions, their attitude was even better.

Ishizō was satisfied with their attitude, casually tossed the money over, and shouted.

"Loyalty to the cause, the model of the industry, the mechanism of the device, the ring of the plant, the seedlings, the seedlings, the seedlings, the seedlings, the model of the device, the gray, the iridium, the temple, the tree, the seedlings, the school."

"Zhong Zha."

Chapter 68 A Man Who Knows When to Adversity is a Hero

"You're planning a coup."

After the lewd creature left, Tsunade and Orochimaru finally appeared.

The watch strongly condemned the dangerous actions just now by the fifty-stringed aria and expressed its desire for more.

She likes to watch.

With her eyes fixed on the money in Isogen's hand, Tsunade was itching to take it, feeling a pang of envy towards those who were leaving with the money.

"Those kids are so easy to mess with, they always seem to get all sorts of good opportunities."

If it weren't for the fact that Iwagakure was in a hurry to bring back the Jinchuriki, even though this was Konoha territory, those brats would have been beaten up for daring to act so arrogantly in front of ninjas from an enemy country.

Unlike now, although you still get beaten, a beating that only hurts you for a few days costs you tens of thousands.

This is an incredibly good deal.

"It's a pity they're a bunch of poor bastards."

"Then let's go rob some rich people!" After witnessing once again the audacious money-making methods of Isogen, Tsunade was filled with admiration.

They're in a rush to make a lot of money.

Orochimaru is the same.

Doing scientific research is very expensive, okay?

The main reason was that he had heard from Isogen that the research material for the Byakugan was ready, but he lacked research funds.

Not long after, at the Hokage Building, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was checking for any oversights in his work, finally received a report from the Anbu.

"What do you mean by a group of children directly challenging the visitors from Hidden Rock Village and stealing their money?"

He knew all the words, but the combination of them was so magical that it was astonishing.

Upon hearing that the fifty strings were also among them, the wrinkles on the face of the master were instantly smoothed out by an invisible hand.

"Then it's not surprising."

After his initial shock, Hiruzen Sarutobi's smugness was almost out in the open.

Although this will definitely leave a bad impression, the effect of this show of force is simply too good to pass up.

After formal negotiations, those cunning figures certainly won't be able to jump up anymore; their arrogance will be greatly suppressed.

"Wu Shixian, what a good boy!"

The Thousand Hands Old House.

Mizuto Uzumaki received the information at the same time and made the following deployment.

"Summon the monkey... the Hokage to see me." The Anbu lowered his head and activated his Body Flicker Technique.

Mizuto Uzumaki remained calm.

Based on her understanding of Isogen's excellent mental state, no one who entered Konoha at the same time could escape it.

Well, the real headache is the monkeys.

In the courtyard reserved for officials from the Land of Fire, Fujiwara Osamu sipped his tea, ignoring the outside disturbances.

boom!

The gate and the wall interact intimately.

Fujiwara Osamu's heart skipped a beat, and he almost jumped into the air.

Could that sudden, enormous noise be that group that the nobles fear so much...?

Looking at the two children who seemed to be back in their own home, Fujiwara Osamu's expression faltered slightly, but he quickly recovered and began to scrutinize them.

He didn't know the boy, but the girl's features were obvious; her pure Byakugan proved that she was of the Hyuga clan bloodline.

The Hyuga clan has a long history and, although they are a force on the ninja side, they are also highly regarded by the nobility.

But even the Hyuga clan shouldn't be so rude.

He frowned and was about to ask a question.

"I am the biggest reason you came here this time."

The sound is stuck.

Fujiwara Osamu began to reminisce.

That nobleman who lost 20 pounds for free...

Snapped!

He closed the folding fan and immediately put on a friendly smile.

"Hahaha, so it's you, Isogen-kun. It's a pleasure to meet you. I am the Minister of the Interior of the Land of Fire, from the Fujiwara clan, and my name is Osamu."

Although the purpose of his visit to Konoha was to hold someone accountable, after making some inquiries, Fujiwara Osamu realized something was wrong; the person he was supposed to hold accountable seemed to be in poor mental condition.

I still have to show my noble smile. It's too inappropriate to hold someone accountable. How can I be so rude to the future guardian of the Land of Fire?

Besides, I don't need to lose weight; I can just stay the same.

Fifty-string tilted his head slightly.

Ya.

This guy is so polite.

Don't think I'll let you off the hook just because you're polite.

"Do you two have something to discuss with me, or is there a message from the Hokage?"

Igogaku is a reasonable person. Since Fujiwara Osamu is willing to speak politely, he will naturally try to be courteous first and then resort to force.

Hinata Mizuki took out a small whiteboard and started writing and drawing, then turned to Fujiwara Osamu.

You'll need to pay a protection fee when you come to Konoha.

Protection fee...

Fujiwara Osamu's brain went into a state of malfunction.

He was no stranger to protection money; it was money forcibly extorted from the vulnerable by samurai gangsters. Many nobles trained suitable "black gloves" to harvest the wealth of ordinary people.

In the minds of the nobility, it was a terrible thing for hard-earned silver to fall into the hands of commoners.

Let the noble gentlemen reluctantly accept it.

Fujiwara Osamu did not build a yakuza force. With his status, his family's assets and his personal income from legitimate channels were enough to allow him to live a comfortable life. The protection money was also paid voluntarily by other officials. Why would he need to get involved in the filth of the yakuza?

As for whether the money offered up by those below was obtained through coercion, that was none of his concern.

It's quite unusual to be charged protection money.

So, is this a joke...?

Snapped.

A hand landed on his head.

The fifty strings seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"I have already expressed my gratitude; your answer should satisfy me."

"Um," Fujiwara Osamu decided to play a trick... and test the waters, "what if my answer doesn't satisfy you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the world spinning around him, a truly wondrous experience.

"...Aaaaaaah!!"

The commotion outside startled the members of the secret service who were about to rush in when they were immediately drawn to two figures.

Tsunade-hime, 'Cold-blooded' Orochimaru.

That's alright.

Back at their posts, the expressions of the secret agents were as unchanging as stubborn rocks.

Palm magic cures.

Fujiwara Osamu is in perfect health.

Having recovered from his injuries, Fujiwara no Osamu made the following arrangements to repay the kindness of his doctor.

“I am quite wealthy and would like to offer one hundred million taels of silver as a token of my gratitude for your medical treatment.”

"Tsk, they're really rich." Tsunade, who was "late to the party," couldn't help but gasp when she heard the astonishing number.

"It's all thanks to the family's wealth." Fujiwara Osamu wore a polite smile, but deep in his eyes lingered a trace of humanity's instinctive fear of heights.

I can't even make eye contact with Yu Ge of the Fifty Strings.

This is the simplest strategy for humans to deal with danger.

Bury your head in the sand and be an ostrich.

It doesn't sound good, but it works.

Fujiwara Osamu prided himself on his high position and that all his associates were well-educated, reasonable, and elegant.

Even ruthless ninjas would show him respect.

After all, he was a nobleman, and Konohagakure in the Land of Fire was the strongest ninja village in the ninja world.

Generally speaking, no ninja who has lost their mind would take the initiative to attack a high-ranking nobleman of a great country.

Once a fight is launched, the wrath of the five great ninja villages will be unleashed.

But the fifty strings gave him a different feeling.

It was a situation where if you didn't pay, you were just waiting to be buried in the ground.

His actions confirmed Fujiwara Osamu's premonition.

Money or life?

Normally, no one would dare to target nobles, but this is an exception.

Fujiwara Osamu looked at Tsunade with a resentful gaze.

"If you just need money, Princess Tsunade and Orochimaru could just tell me, right?"

Orochimaru remained unmoved, while Tsunade waved her hand dismissively: "Don't wrong me, this brat came of his own accord, we couldn't stop him."

And you expect us to give you so much money when we ask you for it?

Currently, everyone of any standing in Konoha knows about Igarashi's mental state.

Once he makes a decision, it's virtually impossible to interrupt him.

She seems to be attracted by money... and that's partly true.
