After Danzo came out, Kakashi Hatake, who had been waiting outside for a long time, passed by him.

Neither of them spoke, treating the other as if they were invisible.

One sees the other as a traitor, the other as a cancer in Konoha.

As the saying goes, "If you don't see eye to eye, even half a sentence is too much." Before you're sure you can hold your own, there's no point in being quick to argue.

Knock on the door and enter.

"Oh, it's Kakashi. How did the mission go?"

Inside the room, Hiruzen Sarutobi, looking melancholy, immediately concealed his feelings after raising his head.

Some things cannot be revealed before they are confirmed.

After Kakashi finished reporting the mission, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been lost in thought, nodded.

It was just a C-rank mission; if it weren't for the fact that it involved a Jinchuriki, he wouldn't have even asked about it.

"Kakashi, I have a top-secret mission for you to complete. Let's postpone Team 7's next mission for now."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Although he had some doubts, Kakashi agreed.

However, when he learned about the mission details, his expression immediately became very serious and solemn.

"While it's highly unlikely that this was done by someone from the Dark Division, someone must have stolen intelligence to know when Danzo and the others would return, and then arranged for people to ambush them on their inevitable route."

“If it wasn’t a problem with our people, then it must be that Kirigakure leaked the information, so you must find out the truth.”

"After I get the items tomorrow, I'll immediately return to Kirigakure to report. Where are you all going? Do you want to come along?"

After they regrouped that evening, Hozuki Mangetsu asked directly.

"No, we'll probably be staying in Konoha for a while."

Hozuki Mangetsu nodded, without asking what they were going to do in Konoha.

It's important to know that Shinji and his group registered to enter Konoha as members of Kirigakure. If they cause any trouble in Konoha, Kirigakure will definitely be implicated.

But even Mei Terumi, the Mizukage, was dragged into the water.

"Hidan, Tobi, you two see Mangetsu off tomorrow and come back after he boards the ship."

After thinking it over, Shinji was still worried.

The main problem is that it's too easy for Hozuki Mangetsu to get into trouble if he goes back alone. In the original story, we don't know what happened before he was gone, so we must prevent this from happening.

Another group had just been attacked by assassins before arriving in Konoha.

Hozuki Mangetsu is not safe until the identity of the enemy behind the scenes is known.

"I don't think so..."

"How do you know those people came for the people of Konoha, and not to kill you? Besides, you brought the Mizukage's questioning, which led to Danzo being punished. That old man is obviously not a good person. What if he has the idea of ​​taking revenge on you? Do you really think you can escape from a group of people surrounding you? Any ninja who knows Lightning Release would be enough to kill your Water Transformation Technique."

Shinji said without any politeness.

This time, Hozuki Mangetsu didn't refuse his offer again, saying, "I'll listen to you."

. . . . . . .

A few days later, Shinji rented a shop on a street near the Hokage Building.

Because it's very close to the Hokage Building, the price isn't cheap.

Fortunately, Shinji is now truly not short of money. Not only does he have a major financial backer from the Land of Waves, but he also recently made a fortune in the Land of Water. More importantly, he possesses the cursed artifact, the [Wealth-Generating Mist Shell], so he will hardly ever be short of money again in his life.

Incantation Item: Wealth-Generating Mist Shell

Effect: Collecting mist generates a seven-colored mist droplet every three days. Landing on it is a source of wealth.

Shinji could casually toss a seven-colored mist bead on the ground and receive varying amounts of gold and silver treasures, ranging from a minimum of about 200,000 taels to a maximum of over a million taels.

In other words, even if he does nothing, he can earn tens or even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every day.

The maximum reward for an A-level mission is only one million taels, and that's divided among everyone. This comparison shows just how useful the [Wealth-Generating Mist Shell] is.

Shinji has accumulated quite a few colorful mist beads, making him a true tycoon!

So what was his reason for renting the shop?

You can tell just by looking at the signboard.

Chakra Shop

In order to collect all the chakra as quickly as possible, Shinji decided to spend money to buy it!

Anyway, chakra is a renewable resource, just like blood donation.

If blood can be sold for money, why can't chakra be sold for money?

Those ninjas work hard all day doing missions but don't earn much money. They not only have to consume chakra, but also risk getting injured.

Now it's so great! I don't have to do anything. I just sell my chakra and take the money home!

After a simple renovation, it officially opened for business!

. . . . . .

"Phew... I'm finally discharged from the hospital. The missions lately have been getting harder and harder. This time, you almost didn't get to see me again."

Outside Konoha Hospital, a man with bandages still wrapped around his body sighed to his two companions.

"Who says otherwise? My son is almost old enough, and I'm still hesitating about whether to send him to ninja school. There's nothing wrong with being an ordinary person and being protected by others."

"I think it's ultimately up to the child's own choice."

"You're right. Forget about it, let's not talk about these things anymore. To celebrate your miraculous survival, let's go have a good drink, we won't leave until we're drunk!"

"Great! I've been so pent up these past few days, I'm going to have a good drink!"

The three of them chatted and laughed as they walked down the next street.

All three of them were ordinary Chunin, with no background or bloodline limit.

However, they always had a good relationship. After graduating from the Ninja Academy, they were assigned to the same class, and after being promoted to Chunin, they still got together to take on missions.

As a result, the last mission almost went wrong.

The target, a cursed spirit, nearly took one of them with him before dying. If it weren't for the excellent medical ninja skills of Konoha Hospital, we might not be seeing him today.

However, after deducting medical expenses, each person only received 100,000 taels of silver for completing the A-level mission, which they had worked so hard to complete.

Although it's not a small amount, I still feel uneasy.

As they walked, they passed by a very strange shop.

"A chakra shop? What does this place sell? I remember this place used to sell tea, didn't it?"

"It must be newly opened. Who cares? Drinking is more important. Let's go."

"Wait a moment..."

Hisao Tsuchida, who had just recovered from his injuries and been discharged from the hospital, was about to continue walking forward when he inexplicably glanced at the notice board placed at the entrance. Upon seeing it, his eyes widened instantly, and he could no longer take a step.

"what happened?"

"Look what's written on that! Am I hallucinating? Or did I mess up my brain while I was in the hospital?"

"Let me see, all jumpy... Chao! Is it for real?"

The notice board simply stated that it buys chakra of all attributes (except water attribute) at high prices, with a reward of 100,000 taels paid for each successful purchase, settled in person with no delays.

"This... is it a scam? How do you recover chakra? And what can you do with it after you recover it?"

"I don't think so. Everyone knows how expensive the rent is in this area. If it were a scam, why would they open here?"

"Whether it's true or not, we'll find out once we go in. Don't forget who we are. If they dare to lie to us, and we report it to the Hokage, what do you think will happen to them?"

"That makes sense. Let's go in and take a look."

Without further hesitation, the three of them went straight inside.

The shop is not very big, and the decoration style is very simple, without anything fancy.

Sitting in the very center of the innermost part was a very handsome young man. On the table in front of him was a black box about one meter square, the purpose of which was unknown.

"Welcome to our shop. May I ask what kind of chakra nature you all possess?"

Seeing that the guests had finally arrived, Shinji happily invited them over.

After all, everything is difficult at the beginning. Once the fame spreads, a bunch of people will be eager to sell... cough cough, sell chakra.

Moreover, he won't keep collecting; once he's full, he'll leave.

At least out of respect for Kirigakure, Konoha will probably not take action against him until they understand the facts clearly.

Shinji is exploiting this time difference.

[Chapter 191 Earth, Yin, and Yang (Bonus chapter 10/10 for the salted fish alliance leader who is determined to turn his life around!)]

"What are the blood types of these guests... oops! What are their chakra attributes?"

Shinji greeted him warmly.

The group exchanged glances, each harboring their own doubts.

At this point, Hisao Tsuchida, acting as the representative, asked, "Is there any explanation behind this? We decided to come in after seeing the sign displayed at the entrance."

"Oh, it's like this. Our shop buys back chakra at high prices. Wind, fire, earth, and lightning attributes are 100,000 taels per transaction, water attribute is not accepted. Yin and Yang attributes are 200,000 taels per transaction. Payment is settled in person, no delays."

Upon hearing this, Tsuchida Hisao and the other two were immediately intrigued!

They worked hard to complete an A-level mission, and each of them would eventually receive 100,000 taels of silver.

You can easily earn 100,000 ryo by selling chakra once in this shop. If you were in that situation, what would you choose?

Their only concern now is whether this is feasible, after all, chakra recovery... is truly an unheard-of wonder!

"Um, we'd like to know, how exactly does this chakra recovery work? What do we need to do? And what harm will it cause to our bodies?"
