Chapter 50 The Uchiha's Own Opinion!

North?

Land of Lightning? Land of Earth?

Or other small countries?

After a moment's thought, Nara Rankei decided to ask, "Mrs. Neko, do you have any more detailed information?"

"If you're referring to a specific buyer, I don't have any information on that either."

Mrs. Cat shook her head, then stretched out her fingers and rubbed them together a few times, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"But if you're willing to pay enough, I can help you search for relevant information on the black market."

"It might be difficult to pinpoint the exact buyer, but we should be able to determine the general flow of the chakra crystals."

"Let's forget about it."

Nara Rinka rejected Mrs. Cat's proposal.

Chakra crystals are quite valuable.

Let's not even discuss the reasons and uses of the "people from the north" purchasing the chakra crystals.

Even if Nara Rinkei knew the exact location of the chakra crystal, he couldn't afford to pay enough to buy it back from the "people in the north".

"Yes, there's one more thing."

Nara Rinka placed two D-rank illusion scrolls into his ninja tool pouch.

"Perhaps it's a bit too blunt, but I think Mrs. Cat will keep the details of this transaction a secret, right?"

"Of course! I know how much ninjas value intelligence."

Mrs. Cat showed no displeasure whatsoever; instead, she replied solemnly.

"Strict confidentiality of customer information is the foundation upon which black market merchants rely for their survival."

"I'm an upright businessman!"

Nara Rinka nodded slightly, but in her heart she only believed half of what Mrs. Cat had said.

Without mentioning the old clan chief's previous warnings.

If black market merchants really had such rules, then they wouldn't be "black market merchants"!

The reason for maintaining strict confidentiality of intelligence is simply that customers who want to buy it cannot afford to pay a sufficiently high price.

But upon further reflection, Nara Rinka put aside her unnecessary worries.

The main reason is that the Uchiha clan also ordered ninja tools and purchased goods from Mrs. Cat and the Cat Village clan.

If something really goes wrong, the first ones to get angry will definitely be those jealous bastards from the Uchiha clan.

Following that, Nara Rinka discussed the detailed requirements for forging the kodachi with Mrs. Neko.

"I will arrange for the ninja cat to go to the Land of Iron as soon as possible to find a master swordsmith who is available, and convey Nara-kun's request to him."

Mrs. Cat said meticulously.

"Based on past experience, once the master swordsmith is confirmed, he will complete the first draft of the weapon according to Nara-kun's specific requirements. At that time, I will have the ninja cat take the first draft of the weapon back to Konoha to solicit Nara-kun's opinions."

"Once both sides confirm that there are no problems with the weapon design drafts, the formal forging of the swords will begin."

Nara nodded to Katsura, "Thank you for your hard work, Mrs. Cat."

"What's so hard about this? It's just taking money and doing things for people."

Mrs. Cat covered her face and chuckled, her tone returning to its initial lighthearted and easygoing manner.

"However, the young man from the Nara family is really considerate and polite~"

Nara Rinka couldn't handle such a cunning cat lady, so he had no choice but to take his leave.

Before parting, Mrs. Cat suddenly asked a question.

"Young man from the Nara family, I just noticed that you seemed to have some kind of conflict with Inagi?"

"It's nothing serious."

Nara Rinka briefly recounted the scene at that time.

"I didn't pay much attention to it, but it seems the other party doesn't think so."

"So that was the day..."

Mrs. Cat sighed.

"Normally, Xiaodaohuo's personality isn't that aggressive. It's just that he lost a summoning beast partner that day, which caused him to disregard the police department's rules and overstep his bounds."

Summoning Beast Partner?

A fleeting recollection of Nara's laurel blossoms.

Could it be referring to the cat carcass I saw on the hospital bed at the animal sanatorium?

"As a fellow ninja clan, I understand the pressure and responsibility of the Uchiha clan in leading the Konoha police force."

Sensing the underlying message of reconciliation in Mrs. Cat's words, Nara Rinka also gave a tactful reply.

"But I think as long as you follow the rules, no normal person would want to have a conflict with the Uchiha."

Mrs. Cat's beautiful eyes lit up as she looked approvingly at Nara Rinka.

It's a pleasure to chat with smart people.

Everyone here is my guest. Can't we just talk business, do trade, and make big money together in a peaceful and harmonious way?

Why do we have to fight to the death?

After saying goodbye to Mrs. Cat, Nara Rinka, led by Tahi, left the complex terrain of the open area.

"Little brother Lan Gui, come visit often!"

With that farewell, Tian Huo turned and slipped into the ruins of the empty area.

Nara Rinka set off alone towards Konoha.

He has other matters to attend to and resolve today...

Outside the ruins.

A familiar voice rang out.

"Hey, you Nara clan member, stop right there!"

Nara Rinka stopped in her tracks, glanced sideways at the newcomer.

"Uchiha Inahi, I've never been one for fighting, but that's only because I find it troublesome, understand?"

"you--"

Uchiha Inahime jumped out from the shadow of the wall and stood about five or six meters away from Nara Rinka.

"Enough with the nonsense!"

"You ambushed and won against me last time."

"This time, I absolutely will not lose to you!"

If we don't dissuade this guy from his fighting spirit, he'll cause endless trouble in the future...

Nara Rinka glanced lightly at Uchiha Inahikasa opposite him, and with a thought, she used the genjutsu she had just acquired.

[Rank D Spell: Illusionary Technique - The Appearance of Naraku]

[Spell Description: A basic illusion technique that reveals the fears hidden in the human heart]

[Skill Effect: Consumes the user's Yin Release chakra to disrupt the other person's brain, causing the scene of their fear to replay in their mind. The more tragic the scene imagined, the greater the impact on the person.]

[Surgical Evaluation: The best way to eliminate fear is to face it!]

In Uchiha Inahisa's vision, countless dark tentacles suddenly emerged from Nara Rinka's body.

These dark tentacles, formed from shadows, pierced the air like javelins, penetrating his body, and blood gushed from the wounds...

"Wait! My body!"

Two jet-black tomoe instantly appeared in Uchiha Inahi's eyes.

"You dare use genjutsu in front of the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan!"

"What's wrong?"

Nara Rinka looked at the furious Uchiha Inahika with some curiosity.

"Could it be that genjutsu is an exclusive ability of your Uchiha clan?"

"I need to submit an application to you to use illusion magic?"

Uchiha Inahisa's anger burned even more fiercely, and her face turned bright red.

"Then let me show you the power of the Uchiha clan's Sharingan!"

The black magatama swirled endlessly in Uchiha Inahime's eyes. He stepped forward, staring intently into Nara Ranka's eyes, trying to make their gazes meet.

But when he looked over, he only saw a pair of sunglasses.

Mandiantang presents single-sided tactical sunglasses.

"Is this the power of your prized Sharingan?"

Nara Rinka adjusted his sunglasses, his expression calm.

"Amazing, incredibly amazing."

If faced with a three-tomoe Sharingan, or even a more advanced Mangekyou Sharingan, Nara Rinka would definitely close his eyes without saying a word.

But two magatama?

To be on the safe side, Nara Rinka quietly closed her eyes.

Regardless, the Uchiha clan's genjutsu skills are still quite impressive.

The two-comma jewel should not be underestimated.

Through the thick tactical sunglasses, Uchiha Inahime couldn't observe Nara Rinka's eye condition, but he knew very well that his genjutsu had failed.

The Sharingan's genjutsu is essentially equivalent to "dojutsu-type genjutsu," requiring the exchange of gazes to create an effect.

When faced with this type of illusion, blocking one's own vision is the best way to counter it.

The Uchiha clan can naturally use genjutsu that is not a dojutsu (eye technique).

Putting aside the trouble and unnecessaryness of doing so, at least Uchiha Inahi doesn't know other types of genjutsu for the time being.

Ultimately, he was just a Chunin.

Hearing the undisguised sarcasm in Nara Rinka's words, Uchiha Inahime instantly formed hand seals, decisively abandoning genjutsu and switching to ninjutsu.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

call--

A massive, scorching orange-red fireball erupted from in front of Uchiha Inahi, instantly scalding and distorting the air.

The giant fireball hurtled toward Nara Rangsuke, but at the same time it created a small obstruction of sight.

"He actually used such a dangerous Fire Release ninjutsu against a fellow villager."

Nara Rinka's figure became ethereal, and he slowly sank into the ground.

"I really underestimated you, Uchiha Inahi."

Earth Release: Earth Dragon Concealment Technique!

"Was the fireball attack successful?"

Uchiha Inahi withdrew her Fire Release technique and looked expectantly at the other side, only to see a wisp of air.

"That Nara clan member has disappeared!"

Uchiha Inahisa's pupils contracted slightly, and then she keenly sensed a strange movement coming from the ground beneath her feet.

He was about to leap away to avoid the strange phenomenon beneath his feet.

laugh!

But at that moment, a shadow spike rose from the ground and pierced through Uchiha Inahisa's shadow with perfect accuracy.

An incredibly strong control force struck along with the shadow dagger, firmly pinning Uchiha Inahisa to the spot, rendering her unable to move.

Shadow Binding Technique!

The shadow continued to expand and deform, and Nara Rinka emerged from the ground, gently stepping on Uchiha Inahisa's shadow.

He took a kunai from his ninja tool pouch and held it to the latter's neck.

"Battle over."

Feeling the cold touch against her neck, Uchiha Inahi caught a glimpse of half a kunai out of the corner of her eye, and a wave of bitterness washed over her.

"Ninjutsu, illusion, strategy... you are not better than me in any of them."

Nara Rinka put away his kunai and turned to leave decisively.

"You're still a long way from beating me."

"I lost."

Uchiha Inahisa stood still, her hands clenched tightly.

"But the Uchiha clan did not lose!"

"Are you still a child?"

Nara Langui's voice faded into the distance, clearly indicating that he hadn't taken the matter to heart.

"Does losing a fight mean you have to call your parents...?"
