Quest Master of Konoha

Inside the courtyard, on the steps.

Yakumo brought out the milk herbal tea to entertain Shinichi. He could clearly sense that Shinichi's words that he hoped you could protect Aoyama Jōnin was the truth. Just by this point, the anger in Yakumo's heart had been partially dissipated...

Of course, it was more because of the dozen or so minutes of punching to the flesh.

"Yunyin Village lost a shadow-level, several Jōnin, and dozens of Anbu elites... If you count it, your plan should be successful, right?"

"Failed..." Shinichi shook his head in annoyance.

"Three generations of Raikage asked to buy food at 70% of the price, otherwise he will declare war on the land of fire..."

"You gave in?" Yakumo asked in surprise.

"How could it be possible... I ordered someone to throw up the ashes of the Lei Kingdom mission that I clamored for during the day... But the three generations of Hokage want me to agree." Shinichi's face gradually became gloomy, and his tone was full of unwillingness.

"Then what are you going to do?" Yakumo asked.

Shinichi put down the teacup in his hand, stared at Yakumo and said softly. "I arrived at Konoha overnight hoping to change to Hokage."

"Pfft..." Yakumo couldn't stop laughing, and Shinichi beside him was full of doubts.

"You want to change Hokage... It doesn't have much to do with me, you know... My position in Konoha is not as good as the bear."

"Don't you want to hear about my plan?"

"Appreciate further details."

"As the name of my country of fire, I supported Hatake Sakumo and forced the three generations of Naruto Sarutobi to step down."

"Uncle Sakumo will not force the third Hokage to step down."

Yakumo shook his head and replied in a very serious tone. At present, Hatake Sakumo is only disappointed with Hizan Sarutobi, and is far from the point where he wants to force him to step down.

Besides... With the character of Hatake Sakumo, even if he has the kindness of Sarutobi Hizan, at most he will take the initiative to resign, stay away from the core of power and live happily with Kakashi.

"Oh...it's the case at the moment..."

True nodding...but the eyeballs roll quickly.

"But if... Danzo allows the black market killer to enter Konoha and ambush Hatake Kakashi, then what will happen to Hatake Sakumo... He should go crazy and want to kill Danzo, then Hatake Sakumo and Sarutobi The Sun Slash is bound to break."

Yakumo suddenly raised his head and stared at Shinichi angrily. At the same time, the black hair all over his head grew automatically and gathered together like a group of black snakes, climbing around Shinichi's body surface... tightly locking his limbs and neck.

"Cough cough..." Shinichi struggled to breathe, his face flushed.

He wanted to struggle to speak, but more black hair was still spreading and wrapping around his body, like a giant black cocoon, swallowing the light in his true eyes.

"Put away your boring temptation..."

"...If you dare to hurt someone I care about in the slightest, I will definitely make your life worse than death."

Thirty seconds later, the black cocoon spread out, and Shinichi knelt on his knees and let out a sharp and rapid gasp. When he looked at Yakumo, the depths of his pupils contracted slightly. That was the remaining fear.

The never-ending darkness, and the pressure that suppressed every inch of the body's enhancement, seemed to be in a bottomless abyss.

"You are behind the black market, right?"

Yakumo crouched down and looked straight into Shinichi's eyes.

During this time, Yakumo had been thinking about Shinichi's trump card. Although he was a lunatic, he must have cherished his life.

He must have a trump card, guarding the strongest of the twelve ninjas is nothing but Shangnin, not a trump card at all, so he can only rely on external forces.

In the end, it was Shinichi's own words that woke Yakumo, he had been ignoring the black market hidden in the shadows of the ninja world.

If Shinichi dies unexpectedly, someone will issue an extremely high reward to Yakumo's relatives and friends on the black market.

This is his life insurance!

"That's right..." Shinichi stared blankly at Yakumo's face, he didn't expect his hole cards to be so easily ignored,

Of course, he was safe if he was seen through.

"But you're wrong a little bit. What I said just now was not a test. I did bribe a black market bounty Junin and let him organize a wave of assassinations against Kakashi."

"Do you really want to die?" Yakumo asked.

"Of course not... We can cooperate. When the time comes, I can inform you of the location of the attack in advance, and then I can accept the bounty hunter who assassinated Hatake Kakashi..."

"... Catch all at once!"

"Fishing law enforcement... wonderful."

Yakumo thought for a while, and he suddenly felt that this method was feasible. After this wave of assassinations was over, Kakashi's safety level would rise several steps.

"Is your plan just to change Hokage?"

Shinichi just smiled and took out a long red sandalwood box from the package behind him and handed it to Yakumo.

Yakumo opened the wooden box, and the short blade that came into view, the blade and handle were all black, absorbing the surrounding light, about 45 cm in length, revealing the atmosphere of historical precipitation, this knife is old.

"This is the ancient knife Xieyu. According to legend, even ordinary people can easily take out the beautiful jade from the hard stone body with this weapon. Hence the name Xieyu. The origin is unknown... It should be a weapon from a thousand years ago."

Yakumo picked up Jieyu and fiddled with it in his hand. From the intuition of the person who used the knife, he could judge that it was a very high-quality knife, and then injected a trace of chakra into it.

A jumping black arc was immediately reflected on the blade, and Yakumo sensed slightly and found that this was his chakra, but for some reason it changed its color.

"The chakra energy injected into Jieyu will be dyed the color of the blade, and the most important thing is that it can increase the chakra."

"Not bad... I'm very satisfied." Yakumo nodded.

"Then I calculate whether your grudge will be written off?"

Shinichi stared at Yakumo's eyes, his eyes were sincere and warm, and his expression was extremely sincere.

"Not yet... You haven't apologized yet."

Shinichi suddenly stood up and bowed deeply.

"I'm sorry... I feel extremely guilty for having calculated against you, and I sincerely apologize to you here."

Yakumo looked at Shinichi quietly, his eyes calm like a lake on a plateau without any ripples.

After more than ten seconds... Yakumo's mouth lifted and he chuckled.

Everyone in the world who beat him has gone to hell, so should he forgive this hypocritical lunatic?

maybe not...

"When I heard that Yeyue Tianxin was killed, I began to regret that I had plotted against you. I hope you can trust me. At that time, you were the only one who could rely on you. The country of Lei has a vast territory and strong armaments. Heartbroken...

"It was not long before I succeeded to the throne... It's understandable to be regarded as a soft persimmon, but I don't want to export food at a low price... I have to count on you... This is the silver tael of the country of 200 million fire... I hope you can forgive me."

Shinichi's speech was really emotional. He bent down and took out a storage scroll from the package and put it in front of Yakumo...

Acceptance means forgiveness... Rejection is the opposite.

For 200 million...

...of course I choose to forgive.

"Then I will accept it... For the sake of 200 million, I can promise that in the future, as long as you don't count on me, I will not threaten your life."

"A promise?" Shinichi straightened his back.

"It's a deal," Yakumo replied.
