It's obvious that mercenaries like ninjas being put as national leaders won't lead to anything good.

Giving them power is a waste of resources. Even so ninjas are still a high-income group. Even the lowest-ranked D-rank missions pay five thousand Ryo, and they're so simple that even ordinary people can do them, like finding cats or cleaning up trash.

But if they're not given power, the daimyos and those nobles will worry. What if a Tailed Beast Bomb comes while they're sleeping? They wouldn't even know how they died.

When Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama fought, the tremors were probably felt hundreds of kilometers away. It would be strange if ordinary people aren't afraid.

Yoichi has never worried about money since he came to the ninja world. With strength, he can get money anywhere. He wandered around the Fire Country for a while and could only say that the security in most parts of the Fire Country was pretty good.

Some nobles and merchants even employ samurai who don't know how to use chakra. If Yoichi wants to "borrow" money from them, it's would easy.

How many bad things has Danzo done? Has anyone ever punished him? It's all because of the benefits of holding a high position. Those who wanted to report him might have been silenced.

"Old man, hasn't that Uchiha brat come back yet?"

With a bang, the door of the Hokage's office was kicked open. Hiruzen didn't even have time to put away the crystal ball. He could only cover it with a cloth.

Then, with a grim face, Hiruzen said to Tsunade, "Tsunade, could you please knock before coming in next time? I'm getting old too, and being startled like that can make my heart uncomfortable."

"Forget about those trivial matters. How's the investigation I asked you to do last time?"

Tsunade said carelessly. As the Hokage's teacher, she could live longer than most people, at least to sixty or seventy years old.

"The ANBU teams are investigating, but there's no record of any reaction from the Barrier Division. There weren't many spies infiltrating Konoha to begin with. And after the ANBU and the Police Force cleared them out, there weren't any left."

Hiruzen calmly put away the crystal ball covered in cloth, then lit his pipe and took a puff before continuing, "As for Yoichi, he hasn't returned yet, but the B-rank mission assigned to him has been completed. He should be out wandering now."

"Tch!"

Tsunade clicked her tongue unhappily at the news.

Hiruzen continued, "Tsunade, you said he could use the Lightning Style Chakra Mode, but I haven't found any intelligence on it yet. The only thing I can confirm is that Yoichi had a mission five months ago. The entire team was killed by Cloud shinobi, except for him."

"That should have been his only opportunity to come into contact with Cloud shinobi. However, afterwards, based on the information provided by Yoichi, the ANBU discovered an important movement of the Cloud shinobi. And where did you get your information from?"

Tsunade turned her head and said, "Don't worry about that. My information is absolutely accurate. I wouldn't lie to you."

Would she have to say she turned into a wild boar and nearly got killed by Uchiha Yoichi to get the information? Not to mention whether Hiruzen would believe it, she couldn't even bring herself to say such an embarrassing thing, let alone say it aloud.

"But the ANBU thoroughly questioned all his surviving teammates, and none of them have seen him use Lightning Style ninjutsu. The team leader who led them when they graduated from the academy also said that Yoichi only had Fire Style."

Hiruzen had already had the ANBU investigate thoroughly, but the information they found was that Yoichi seemed perfectly normal, showing no signs of being a spy. Even his Sharingan could confirm that he was a typical Uchiha clan member.

It wasn't advisable to investigate further as rumors could expand and this was already the limit that the Uchiha clan could accept.

"Tsunade, do you have any thoughts on taking on students? There are quite a few talented students in the academy, like Sakumo's son, who already has the strength of a Chunin."

"Forget it, old man. I won't be staying in Konoha for much longer."

Before Hiruzen could finish, Tsunade interrupted.

Ever since she saw Dan die last time, Tsunade found herself starting to fear blood. Now she couldn't even perform surgeries, so what's the point of taking on students? Even if she did, she couldn't take them on missions or teach them medical ninjutsu. What would be the point of her taking on students like this?

"The ANBU have some extra manpower. Let me borrow them to investigate the matter I told you about. It's important."

After saying that, Tsunade turned and left directly. If she stayed here any longer, the old man would start nagging her about taking on students again.

"Why can't she learn to close the door?"

Seeing Tsunade leave, Hiruzen quickly put down his pipe and closed the door. Then, he took out the crystal ball and used the Telescope Technique once again.

But when he looked at the image displayed on the crystal ball again, he sighed, "Ah, she already went out of the bath?"

...

"Well done. Here's your payment."

The manager of the underground bounty hunter exchange , handed Yoichi a stack of money and asked, "Do you want to take on more bounties? There have been quite a few assassination and sabotage missions recently. If you dare to take on those from the Leaf villages, the rewards will be ten times higher!"

"Forget it. Is Leaf Village so easy to provoke? Aren't you afraid of being wiped out here?"

"What am I afraid of? This is just a base. If someone takes on a mission, whether they succeed or fail, I'll return to the Grass Country. If they succeed, they can come to the Grass Country to collect the reward. Do you think Leaf shinobi would dare to invade the Grass Country on a large scale?"

The manager of the currency exchange didn't care at all. How much money could a base like this make? Completing a bounty mission would earn back the investment in full.

"This time, the employer has put in a lot of effort. Killing any of those ministers in the Fire Country would earn at least tens of millions. How about it? Want to give it a try?"

Yoichi shook his head and said, "Don't joke around. What strength do I have? I'd just die if I got involved. You'd better find those more famous bounty hunters. And about the Chakra Metal you promised me last time?"

Seeing that Yoichi wasn't moved, the manager sighed and said, "Forget it. Since you're not interested, let's make the transaction. Do you have enough money?"

Yoichi took out a scroll, unsealed it, and revealed millions of Ryo.

This was the money he had saved up from the three bounty missions. Of course, the majority of it wasn't from the rewards, but from the additional income during the missions. After all, the targets of assassination were all able to afford ninja protection. If they could afford ninjas, their wealth was beyond doubt.

"I'm cutting you a deal here. Remember to come to me if you want to take on more bounties. I'll take better care of you than anyone else."

After glancing at the money on the ground to confirm that there was no problem, the manager took out a box from the safe and handed it to Yoichi.

Chakra Metal might not be useful to others, but to ninjas, it was like adding wings to a tiger.

Being able to create weapons that were sharper and more compatible with chakra flow, in a video game context, it would be considered top-tier equipment. In close combat, a weapon made of Chakra Metal would be at least ten times stronger than an ordinary kunai.

However, due to its scarcity and the fact that every ninja village was collecting it, Chakra Metal was rarely circulated.

Yoichi had only heard about this person having Chakra Metal, which was why he helped him complete several A-rank bounties.
