Naruto: The Uchiha Calabash Brothers are reshaping the ninja world

The man stood there, frozen in place, and replied blankly:

"My name is Nakajima Kotaro. I am a black market merchant. I came back because a vault belonging to the black market merchant group in the Land of Birds is located here, and I want to take advantage of this time to pick up some bargains."

"Continue." Mo glanced at the passage behind Kotaro Nakajima with his clairvoyance and instantly spotted the piles of banknotes.

Kotaro Nakajima continued in his wooden voice:

"The reason Kakuzu took action against the underground black market merchants in the Land of Birds is because they deliberately gave him a false bounty target. When Kakuzu arrived at their intelligence location, he was ambushed and killed. So, in a fit of rage, Kakuzu killed all the black market merchants in the Land of Birds, and now I hear he is still looking for a target."

As soon as he finished speaking, the air fell silent. Suddenly, Mo recalled the information that Terada Yusuke had given him earlier. Combining this information with his own, he instantly pieced together the cause and effect of the matter.

A high-ranking official, or rather several high-ranking officials, in the Land of Birds harbored malicious intentions towards Kakuzu. They then conspired to make a deal with a black market merchant in the Land of Birds, based on Kakuzu's long-standing habit of frequenting the black market, and lured Kakuzu to a location where they had set up an ambush.

The foolish nobles and black market merchants did not realize that Kakuzu's strength far exceeded their expectations, which led to this tragedy.

But... why would the nobles of the Bird Country suddenly target Kakuzu?

The question lingered in Uchiha Mo's mind for only a second before the answer was found: Earth Grudge Fear...

Besides granting its master powerful ninjutsu abilities, the Earth Grudge Fear also possesses a coveted ability among nobles: immortality...

Finally understanding one of his worries, Mo's lips curled into a smile.

"Then why did you survive?"

"I am not a black market merchant from the Land of Birds, or rather, I have not officially joined here. During the Second Shinobi World War, I was abandoned by the original black market group and became a small-time operator because of some things. After many years of wandering, I finally came to the Land of Birds. Because I knew how powerful Kakuzu was, I ran away when I heard the news."

Mo nodded. "Hand over all the sealing scrolls on your body."

The secret room inside the passage was filled with a dense stack of cash. Since Kotaro Nakajima had come back to amass wealth, he must have brought enough storage devices with him, otherwise it would have been impossible for him to carry away such a large amount of cash by himself.

As expected, immediately after the voice fell, Kotaro Nakajima pulled out several sealing scrolls from under his robe.

Mo reached out and took it, then stepped into the secret passage.

Fifteen minutes later...

Mo reappeared on the ground, the only difference from when he went down was that his shrunken ninja tool pouch was now bulging.

With over 3 billion in cash, it's no wonder he's a wealthy and powerful black market merchant. Even Uchiha Mo, who doesn't usually care much about money, felt much happier.

While the currencies in the Naruto world are diverse, they are generally interchangeable, and aside from their designs, denominations, and overall format are quite similar. In terms of purchasing power, one ryo is roughly equal to ten yen, meaning that Mo obtained a whopping 1.2 billion RMB on this trip!

In the ninja world, a bowl of Ichiraku Ramen costs about 30 RMB. As long as Mo doesn't hoard hundreds of millions of explosive tags, that amount of money is enough for him and Shisui to live on for a lifetime.

He looked up at the sky, then ran towards the capital of the Bird Kingdom.

  Updates take time and effort, so please remember to share 101kanshu.com.

Things were progressing exceptionally smoothly. The first large black market alone provided Uchiha Mo with all the information he wanted, so Mo decided to go to the mission's destination first and wait for the team to arrive.

As the sun began to set, Mo finally arrived in the Bird Capital. He first found a restaurant to fill his stomach, and then booked a single room at a hotel that looked quite nice.

Having barely rested for a full day and night, coupled with the intense travel, even Mo was somewhat exhausted.

Judging from the team's speed of movement, the Eighth Squad should still have a short distance to go and should not arrive at Bird City until at least tomorrow evening, so Mo can have a good rest.

……

On the border of the Land of Rain, somewhere underground.

A pool of black sludge slowly separated from White Zetsu's body and then ran towards the Land of Birds, leaving White Zetsu scratching his head, somewhat bewildered, behind underground.

"The Bird Capital?"

Black Zetsu frowned and muttered to himself. Memories of White Zetsu flashed through his mind, the backs of that group of people... For some reason, he felt that the boy in the middle with a ponytail and wearing the Uchiha standard robe looked particularly familiar.

He pondered for a long time, but still had no clue even after entering the Bird Country.

Shaking his head, Black Zetsu temporarily gave up searching his memories.

Over the past thousand years, he has seen far too many people. It is perfectly normal for him to occasionally spot one or two figures that seem familiar but he cannot recall.

On the other side, near the Bird City.

A tall man looked up at the rather grand palace in the distance, then stepped into the capital city.

The man wore a full hood, and apart from his green eyes, no other part of his face was visible. But this alone, along with the dense stitches all over his body, made him look particularly creepy.

"Don't think that just because you're hiding in a daimyo's palace, I won't dare go in and kill anyone!"

The man snorted coldly and vanished from the spot in an instant.

As the moon sets and the sun rises, time slowly passes.

As the outline of Bird City appeared on the horizon, the three members of Class 8 breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

"Finally...cough...it's finally going to end...cough cough."

Asuma said with a sigh of relief, "Now that the mission is complete, I'm definitely going to have a good meal when I get back!"

As he spoke, he turned his head, his gaze suddenly falling on Kurenai Yuhi. The corners of his mouth, which had been turned up in a smile, froze, and he continued with a hint of bitterness:

"I need to get the old man to get me a suitable weapon when I get back. Taijutsu is definitely more useful than pure ninjutsu..."

Moonlight Gale became interested upon hearing this and excitedly agreed:

"Right...cough cough! Right? I also think a weapon...cough...would be better. Why don't you go get a ninja sword, Asuma? Cough cough! It just so happens that Teacher Mo is a master swordsman!"

Asuma finished speaking, he glanced at Uchiha Mo beside him, whose expression remained indifferent, pursed his lips, and replied:

"Forget it... I'm not suited for this kind of weapon..."

As they talked, they approached the Bird City.

However, less than half an hour later, just as the group was about to arrive at the Bird City, a strange man appeared and blocked their way...
