Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 194 Black Market

"You step back, you piece of trash!"

"yes!"

Upon seeing the sealing scroll thrown by Toshiro, the weathered-looking middle-aged man dismissed the shop assistant who had been following Toshiro since he entered the store.

He knew that if the other party could produce something like this, this wouldn't be a small business deal.

She picked up the scroll in her hand, ready to open it on the spot, but after glancing at Toshiro, she got up and walked towards the back of the shop.

"Shisui! You stay outside!"

"Um!"

Without much hesitation, Toshiro followed behind the other person into the back room of the shop.

The contents of the scroll are really not suitable to be displayed in public. Even if the shop owner doesn't actively avoid it, he will at least offer a word of advice.

"untie!"

After leading Toshiro to a spacious room that was completely empty except for a huge table, the shopkeeper immediately released the seal from the scroll in his hand.

They took the goods out!

"this……"

Even though they were prepared, when they actually saw what was inside the sealed scroll, they couldn't help but have their eyes twitch uncontrollably.

Although he had been in this black market for a long time and had seen a lot of things, the items the other party brought out still made him feel troubled.

As for the medicines on the table, forget about them; in this war-torn era, such things are scarce commodities everywhere.

He'll take as much as there is!

However, the other three corpses are a different story; if handled poorly, they could be hunted down to death by the Iwa ninja.

"Guest! These three corpses..."

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Toshiro understood from his tone that the other party was hesitant and clearly didn't want to get involved with goods that could cause trouble.

"Why don't you take a look first before making a decision?"

Toshiro had anticipated the other party's reaction. However, given the dire living conditions of the other party and those behind them, he believed that the other party would carefully consider whether or not to take the job.

After carefully examining the three bodies, the shop owner's expression became even more conflicted.

At the same time, we gained a clearer understanding of the strength of this guest who arrived late just as the black market was about to close.

This kind of person is definitely not someone they can afford to mess with!

"So, how's the business going? Are you still doing it this time?"

He gritted his teeth. This deal might bring him some trouble, but if he was careful, it wouldn't be a big problem.

After all, the profits from this deal would be substantial. It's incomparable to human trafficking or the sex trade.

After all, these are the corpses of two Jonin from Iwagakure and one Special Jonin. Taking them to places that specialize in buying these corpses would yield a very good return.

As long as we can prevent information leaks and keep people from knowing that these corpses came from our hands, that's fine.

The other party then inspected the twenty or so bottles of medicine that Toshiro had brought. After the inspection, although he had some doubts, he made no comment.

"These three corpses are worth a total of 800 million taels, and these medicines, although each only contains about half a bottle, are valued at 200 million taels."

After a brief moment's hesitation, the shop owner gave his price, adding, "If you have any more medicine, we'll gladly oblige!"

"Sure! But I need to buy some scarce goods. 600 explosive tags, I need them immediately, I wonder if you can provide them here!"

He didn't respond to the other party's request for more medicine. Although he was dissatisfied with the price quoted, Toshiro didn't say much. Instead, he started asking about the other party's business capabilities.

"Sure! Give me ten minutes and I can get ready!"

Although we'll need to find other sources to replenish the 600 explosive tags, it's not a big problem.

"Then let's exchange the rest for cash!"

"No problem!"

……

About ten minutes later, Toshiro, having successfully completed the transaction, left the black market with a still somewhat dazed Shisui.

"Um?"

As soon as he stepped out of the abandoned village, before he had taken more than a few steps, Toshiro had a vague feeling that he was being watched.

brush!brush!brush!

He threw several shuriken in succession, and hearing the muffled groans coming from behind him, as well as the footsteps that followed his dodges, he was not surprised at all.

In a place like this, it would be a miracle if there weren't spies from various villages. Having just made a big deal on the black market, it's only natural that he'd be being watched.

Once their activities are exposed, these people will wisely retreat, so there's no need to pay them too much attention.

The reason he chose to do business with that less reputable shop was because the other party's background was relatively clean.

The goods he sells are all rather sensitive items; if he's not careful and the village finds out, he'll be in big trouble.

As per the village's requirements, the corpses of enemy Jonin must be handed over to the village for disposal. However, this reward is merely better than nothing.

Knowing the village's nature, they'd probably just give him a hundred or so explosive tags and be done with it. Why would he do something so unprofitable?

It's a pity that prices are rising and inflation is so severe now that I didn't expect that the corpses of two Jonin, along with the corpse of a Special Jonin, would only be worth 800 million ryo.

He remembered that Asuma in the original story was worth a whopping 3500 million ryo. It was a stark reminder that with the approaching large-scale Shinobi World War, making money off the dead was becoming increasingly difficult.

As for the medicine, it was just some empty medicine bottles he had specially collected. He asked his kind uncle to help him bottle them.

In order to avoid attracting attention, not only were the quantities shipped out in small quantities each time, but they also dared not fill the containers too full, trying their best to disguise them as spoils of war.

He never came to this black market again, not even once. He was afraid the village would discover something amiss and cause some bad consequences.

"How was it? Any thoughts?"

As he headed toward his companions' location, Toshiro took the time to ask Shisui how he felt.

He was curious to see how this future "Shisui of the Instantaneous Movement" would feel upon witnessing such a scene for the first time.

"I think we should work even harder to protect the village and our comrades. We absolutely cannot let something like this happen to Konoha!"

"Um...did I do something wrong?"

Hearing the other person's reply, Toshiro was surprised by such a reaction.
