Furthermore, recalling the words that had mocked him at the store entrance, Naruto was determined to prove them wrong, so he continuously poured a large amount of chakra into the device.
The others didn't think anything was wrong either.
A genin kid who just graduated probably has to drain all his chakra to meet the standard!
I guess they're just holding on there right now.
Many people are waiting to see what happens.
However, the scene they were hoping for was destined to never come to pass.
Upon noticing that Naruto's face was turning slightly red, Shinji immediately called for a stop.
Even if you're just taking advantage of someone, you can't take too much at once. What if Naruto doesn't come next time?
"Did I succeed?" Naruto asked.
"Of course, this is your 20 taels."
"20 taels?! Isn't this kid a wind-attribute? It should be 10 taels." The person behind immediately questioned.
"It's not just wind attribute, it also has yang attribute, so I'll settle the payment at 20. Is there a problem with that?"
The others immediately shut up.
I don't know about anything else, but they've only confirmed two things in the last two days.
First, that black box has the ability to detect chakra attributes, and it's incredibly accurate. It can detect even the slightest bit of a particular attribute.
Many people suspect that the chakra recycling is just a pretext, and that the shop owner's real purpose is to test the black box. Perhaps in the future, chakra properties will no longer be tested with test strips, but with this special instrument.
Secondly, it has just been confirmed that the shop owner is not someone to be trifled with; he is not only rich but also very powerful, so it's best not to cause trouble.
"Sakura, I've earned 20 taels! Look!"
Naruto was so happy he almost jumped for joy.
Sakura was both happy and frustrated. She was happy because Naruto had earned 20 ryo for free, and she had contributed to it. Moreover, Naruto had promised to share some of it with her.
What's frustrating is that Naruto and Ino can earn money on their own, while she can only watch helplessly.
So why shouldn't we use the water attribute?
Seemingly sensing Sakura's disappointed gaze, Shinji smiled and said, "Won't this student give it a try?"
"I...I am a water-style chakra user. Um, may I ask a question?"
Shinji, who already knew what she wanted to ask, nodded indifferently.
Sakura mustered her courage and said, "Why can everyone else do it, but people with water-style chakra can't? That's just too unfair."
"That's a great question. In fact, many people probably want to ask why, but for various reasons, they haven't asked. You are very courageous, student."
Upon suddenly hearing someone praise her, and from such a handsome older brother no less, Sakura blushed and began to tap her toes on the ground.
"Since someone asked, I'll just say it directly. I hope everyone listens carefully..."
Shinji's voice was quite loud, and many people pricked up their ears, wanting to hear his explanation.
However, what Shinji said next shocked and surprised them greatly.
"The so-called chakra recycling is actually just collecting experimental materials. The reason why I don't want water-style chakra is simple: I already have enough materials, so I don't need to spend money to buy more."
"Furthermore, the acquisition of the remaining types of chakra will gradually cease until I have sufficient experimental materials."
These words immediately caused an uproar outside!
This reason is not surprising, but they were unwilling when they heard that it wouldn't be long before other types of chakra would also stop being acquired.
You've only just tasted the initial success, and you're already giving up?
That won't do!
Shinji, who was listening to the commotion outside demanding an explanation from him, also laughed.
"I know many people think I'm a sucker. What, haven't you had enough of taking advantage of me?"
"Want an explanation? Sure!"
"My point is, once you're here, you have to follow my rules! You can only take what I give you. You can't steal what I don't give you! Understand?"
Suddenly, there was complete silence!
However, people soon started leaving, their faces grim.
That's just how people are; a small favor is appreciated, but a large one breeds resentment.
Once someone takes advantage of you, they want to take advantage of you forever. If you suddenly tell them not to take advantage of you anymore, they'll be furious!
However, Shinji didn't care about the people who left, because the store's reputation had already spread, and there would always be people who couldn't resist the temptation to make this quick money.
Furthermore, if he doesn't make things clear now, it will be even more passive and troublesome when it comes to stopping the acquisition of a certain attribute of chakra later.
"Did I say something wrong? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
Sakura never expected that a casual question she asked would trigger such a huge chain reaction, and she was suddenly at a loss.
"It's nothing. Even if you hadn't asked, I would have explained these things sooner or later. If you feel embarrassed, just help me spread the word when you get back."
Sakura nodded quickly, then grabbed Naruto, who was still grinning foolishly, and hurried away.
Things seemed to return to normal after that, and several people successfully received their money and left.
However, not long after, the Konoha enforcement team arrived.
The Konoha Enforcement Team was originally a temporary security patrol squad formed after the disbandment of the Konoha Police Force. Its usual task was to patrol around Konoha Village, strengthen and maintain order and security in Konoha, and arrest villagers or ninjas with criminal tendencies.
To put it simply, it's a continuation of the Konoha Police Force, only it no longer has as much power.
Who is the store manager here?
"It was him! This is the man who beat me up in public without my consent!"
Before Shinji could even speak, a toothless man with a swollen face and a lisp pointed at him excitedly.
"Who are you?"
"I'm the one you kicked out before, don't think you can get away with this!"
Upon hearing this, Shinji suddenly exclaimed "Ah!" and the other person immediately sneered, "Well, you remember now, don't you!"
"No, I'm sorry, I have no idea who you are."
This guy was so angry he almost vomited blood. You don't know anything, what the hell are you talking about!
At this moment, a member of the enforcement team spoke up: "We are the Konoha Enforcement Team. This person just reported to us that there was suspected fraud here and that he was severely beaten. We hope you can come back with us for investigation."
“Interesting, but your Konoha enforcement team has no jurisdiction over me. It would be more appropriate to send someone from the Anbu.”
Arrogant!
This kid is too arrogant!
This is the consensus everyone is at this moment.
The law enforcement officers looked at him with hostility, already prepared to take action.
But at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared and said, "This matter is now being handled by the Dark Division. All unrelated personnel must leave immediately."
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
The person who came was wearing an animal mask!
[Chapter 196: Driving Away]
No one expected that the Dark Guard would actually come, and so quickly.
Just when it seemed an irreconcilable conflict was about to erupt between the two sides, the members of the Dark Guard suddenly appeared. The implications of this are something you should ponder!
Shinji had anticipated the appearance of the Anbu, or rather, his words were not meant for the Konoha enforcement team, but for the hidden Anbu members.
It's obvious that four people came from Kirigakure, three left, and the remaining one not only stayed but also opened a shop in Konoha to recycle chakra.
If you say there's nothing going on here, who would believe you?
As the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi would surely have someone secretly monitoring him.
I want to know what his purpose was in staying, and what kind of trick he was playing at recovering chakra.
The reason for not taking any action against him is twofold: first, we don't want to alert him; second, we don't want to incur unnecessary antagonism with Wuyin.
Look carefully, it's 'for no reason'.
If it is discovered that his motives are impure and may cause harm to Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi will be the first to send someone to kill him.
After all, he was just an external consultant for Kirigakure; he had a title, but he wasn't that important.
If they really kill them, how can Kirigakure and Konoha possibly go to war?
impossible!
Sarutobi had already arranged everything perfectly, which is why the Anbu personnel appeared at the most crucial moment to prevent the situation from escalating further.
Upon seeing the Anbu members appear, everyone present immediately knew that the matter had reached the Hokage's ears. Nobody wanted to get into trouble, so the people in line didn't dare utter a sound and quickly dispersed.
Although the enforcement team members were unhappy, they knew that the Anbu were the Hokage's direct subordinates, like his "own sons," while they were merely adopted, without any official status.
So after glaring at someone, he could only slink away.
As for the person who caused the trouble, he also wanted to run away, but the members of the Dark Guard had arrived, so they couldn't let him go.
"Chunin Tetsuji Aoki, the Hokage has taken notice of this matter. You will be taken away for questioning by Ibiki Morino, the captain of the interrogation department. Surely no one can lie to him. The truth will come out in due time."
Morino Hiki? !
Upon hearing the name, Tetsuji Aoki's legs went weak, and he immediately knelt down, weeping bitterly. "No need! I confess! Actually, I orchestrated the whole thing. I just wanted to extort some money, but the threat failed, and I was thrown out and humiliated. That's why I held a grudge and wanted revenge. I'll confess! I'll confess everything! Please don't take me to the torture chamber!"
Seeing the genuine fear in this guy's eyes, Shinji was really curious about just how terrifying the torture department captain, Morino Ibiki, must have to have such a reputation that just his name alone could frighten this guy into confessing.
The undercover agents seemed to have anticipated this outcome. "Since you've already confessed, then go and turn yourself in to the law enforcement team later."
"Yes, yes! I'll go right now!"
Tetsuji Aoki was overjoyed and ran out as fast as he could.
I reckon the enforcement team hasn't gone far yet.
