Chapter 20: Watching a Kage-level Ninja Beat a Jonin
"Sir, I've said everything I needed to say. May I leave now?"
Uchiha Ha released his grip on his clothes. "Of course."
The man's face lit up with joy, and he turned to run away.
He had only taken a couple of steps when a long sword pierced through his abdomen. He turned to look at Uchiha Hajime, then collapsed, lifeless.
Uchiha Ye sheathed his sword, glanced at the corpse, and said, "I did let you go, but you were too slow. You'll have to stay here!"
After saying that, she lifted her leg and walked towards the largest room.
The house had been almost completely burned down by her previous 'Placenta Flower Technique'.
After searching for a long time, she finally discovered the secret room that the man had mentioned.
"It was hidden quite well."
Who would have thought that the secret room was right at the doorway?
"This is probably what they call 'the darkest place is under the lamp'!"
Uchiha Ye made a self-deprecating remark and then overturned the stone slab beneath his feet.
"Whoosh...whoosh...whoosh..."
Three kunai shot out directly from the entrance to the secret room.
Uchiha Ye's expression hardened, and he retreated, unleashing several sword beams from afar to knock down the kunai that were flying towards him.
"Bang...bang...bang..."
Several explosions followed immediately.
Luckily, she had sharp eyes and noticed the explosive tag attached to the kunai, otherwise she would have been blown up.
"Since you can't get in, then we'll force you to come out."
Uchiha Ye squatted at the entrance of the secret room, and fireballs emerged from her palms as she threw them inside.
The light from the fireball allowed her to see what was inside.
With each fireball she fired afterward, she would secretly conceal a kunai or a shuriken, effectively killing Izumi Ayumu.
"The first time I went out to fight a monster was pretty easy."
Uchiha Ye sighed inwardly and jumped into the secret room.
After searching for a while, she still found quite a few things.
"I never expected that all the money that this group of people had obtained through burning, killing, and looting was here. It was a really big surprise for her."
"After defeating monsters, looting their corpses is definitely the most fun part."
"This doesn't exactly count as looting a corpse, but it's pretty much the same idea."
Uchiha Yoh took out the space scroll she had bought at a high price at the ninja tool shop, packed everything she had acquired into it, and carried it on her back.
He leaped up and left the secret room.
Before leaving, she didn't forget to search each corpse thoroughly, and sure enough, she found some money and all sorts of weapons, which she took away as well.
Anything she sets her sights on will absolutely not escape her clutches; she'll dig it up if she wants.
Just as she was touching the last corpse, she was enveloped by a figure.
Uchiha Ye exclaimed with delight, "Uncle, you're still here!"
"Here's your 20,000 taels, as a thank you for showing me the way."
He didn't even take the corner, but instead said with a look of disgust, "Little girl, what kind of fetish is this? You don't even spare corpses."
"..."
Uchiha Ye was silent for a moment, then said, "Uncle, you've definitely never experienced what it's like to be poor. Compared to poverty, this is nothing."
"Uncle, you really don't want these 20,000? Then I'll take it, but don't come looking for it back later!"
She asked him again, and seeing that he still looked disgusted, she put it in her pocket without thinking.
"Uncle, I need to go back to the gold exchange to collect my reward money."
Do you want to come along?
Uchiha Yoh invited him again.
"Little girl, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You want me to lead the way, don't you!"
Kakuzu saw right through him at a glance and said bluntly.
"Uncle, if you say that, I'll be really hurt."
"I've been there once already, how could I possibly get lost again?"
"Since you don't want to, I'll be going now."
Uchiha Ye had just taken a step when Kakuzu grabbed him back, saying, "I didn't say I was unwilling, but I have to kill someone first."
"what..."
Uchiha Ye exclaimed in surprise.
The hat she was wearing slipped off her head at that moment.
A hint of surprise flashed in Kakuzu's eyes. The next second, he let go of her hand. "Little girl, put your hat on properly and come with me."
"Uncle Kakuzu, I was just being polite. I didn't really want to go with you!"
However, she only said these words to herself.
Being able to observe a master of shadow-level skill up close is quite a bonus.
Once Uchiha Ye thought about it, he had no reason to be unwilling and hurried after them.
"Uncle, when will we arrive? I can't walk anymore..."
After she finished speaking, she squatted down on the ground and didn't bother to move.
Kakuzu glanced around, found a seat, and started eating a steamed bun.
"Uncle, you earn so much money and you eat this? That's so frugal!"
Uchiha Ye glanced at it casually and said with some disbelief.
"Kid, what do you know? Wait until I finish eating, then we'll be on our way."
"what..."
She sighed, then suggested, "Uncle, we've been walking for ages, aren't you tired?"
"Why don't we rest for the night before going?"
I was just about to say something more.
"Someone is coming. Wait here and don't make a sound."
"I'll try to finish this quickly," Kakuzu said, putting away his half-eaten steamed bun, standing up, and walking outside.
After Kakuzu left, Uchiha Ye couldn't sit still and hurriedly followed him.
"How could she miss witnessing a battle fought by a Kage-level ninja?"
"Wow, this is the Earth Grudge!"
Uchiha Ye sat on the big tree and couldn't help but sigh.
"It was a complete rout! They had absolutely no chance to fight back. This Jonin is so weak!"
"With this much, you dare to make the first move? You really don't know the meaning of death!"
Uchiha Ye curled his lip and commented again.
The battle below ended quickly.
She jumped down from the tree, staring greedily at the corpse. "Thirty million taels!"
"If she had been the one to deal with it, she probably could have killed him in a one-on-one fight. What a pity."
Uchiha Ye silently mourned in his heart before resuming his usual aloof demeanor.
“Little girl, stop looking. Even if you keep looking, you didn’t kill this person,” Kakuzu said bluntly, his gaze sweeping over the person.
"Uncle, I'm so hurt by what you're saying."
There's an old saying, "Those who see it will get a share."
"Uncle, you wouldn't be that stingy, would you?"
He ignored it all, grabbed the corpse from the ground, carried it on his back, and walked towards the gold exchange office.
"Sir, you're going to lose a very cute little boy if you do this..."
Kakuzu's lips twitched, and he walked even faster.
Seeing this, Uchiha Ye quickly gave chase.
He kept spouting all sorts of strange and unusual words.
Kakuzu has started to question the meaning of life along the way.
"Why does this little girl talk so much? Doesn't she get tired?"
He dared not say that aloud, for fear that the little girl might say something else.
However, something is strange. When he is by this little girl's side, he can suppress the murderous intent surging in his heart. If it were before, he would have killed this noisy little girl long ago. Why would he have tolerated her until now?
