Killing his way through the ninja world, starting from being adopted by the second generation!

Some things are best avoided, as they can easily lead to trouble.

Lian Ye naturally couldn't let this group of walking ATMs leave, so she flashed to the door and blocked their way.

"Hehehe, where do you guys want to go?"

Chapter 293 Blatant Discrimination

"W-What do you want to do?!"

The group of bounty hunters looked at the young man in the straw hat blocking their way with fear, their originally rosy faces turning deathly pale in an instant.

The strength of those present was at most comparable to that of the scarred strongman, and most of them were even weaker than him.

They knew their fate wouldn't be much better than the scarred strongman's...

Fear and despair filled the entire gold exchange for a time.

Lian Ye stared at the group of bounty hunters in front of him with shining eyes; in his eyes, these people were all piles of silver notes.

They've all become bounty hunters; they must be rolling in money.

Although we didn't encounter Kakuzu, that wealthy man, on this trip, robbing this group of people was still barely acceptable...

The tall, thin man with glasses, who couldn't stand Lian Ye's greedy gaze any longer, gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and shouted at the crowd.

"Don't be afraid, everyone! Let's work together to break through!"

"Even if he's incredibly strong, he can't kill us all. As long as we charge together, someone will manage to escape!"

The tall, thin man spoke the most cowardly words in the fiercest tone.

Lian Ye's lips twitched upon hearing this, feeling somewhat helpless. She hadn't expected this guy to actually find her weakness...

If the group of bounty hunters really did rush out in a swarm as the tall, thin man suggested, there would indeed be a few who escaped.

This group of guys is numerous and powerful, and it would indeed be difficult for him to stop them all by himself.

Upon hearing this, several bounty hunters were clearly tempted. The tall, thin man was right; no matter how powerful the guy in front of them was, he couldn't possibly kill them all!

If they launch a joint attack, even if they cannot kill the young man in the straw hat in front of them, they can take advantage of the chaos to leave the gold exchange.

"Everyone, attack together and fight him!" Seeing that everyone had taken his advice, the tall, thin man quickly called on them to launch an attack.

He silently retreated to the back, a calculating glint flashing behind his glasses.

As long as these idiots launch an attack, the young man in the straw hat will not be able to kill everyone in a short time, and then he can take advantage of the chaos to leave!

As soon as he finished speaking, a few fearless individuals roared and launched an attack, but that was the end of it.

The few who rushed out were no match for Lian Ye; they died before they could even form hand seals.

"Come at me all at once! Why don't you all come at me together!" The tall, thin man became anxious upon seeing this.

If these idiots don't attack together, how can he escape in the chaos?

"Why don't you go up?" someone glared at him with dissatisfaction.

The tall, thin man: "..."

"Hand over all your money and valuables, and I may spare your lives," Lian Ye said to the crowd.

He didn't intend to kill them all; that would be too troublesome.

Moreover, his purpose in coming here was only to rob, not to kill all the bounty hunters.

"Okay, okay, I'll pay, I'll pay!"

Things that can be solved with money aren't really problems; buying life with money is the perfect solution.

You can earn money again, but once you lose your life, you lose everything.

They were afraid that the young man in the straw hat would be like them, fond of killing and robbing, something they had done many times before.

Fortunately, they were lucky; Lian Ye only wanted money and didn't want to kill them...

Lianye would never do something like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs; as long as they are alive, they can provide a continuous stream of money.

If you die, you lose everything; you can't do one-off deals!

At Lianye's urging, the bounty hunters quickly lined up to pay for their lives. To prevent them from cheating and hiding their money, Lianye made them take off all their clothes, leaving them only in their underwear.

After paying, the bounty hunter clutched his groin and hurriedly left the gold exchange...

If someone hides money in their crotch, then he can only accept it.

If you really wanted to hide money inside, you couldn't just take it out, could you?

"This young man," the old shopkeeper murmured softly.

I never expected the new young man to be so powerful, to the point that none of the bounty hunters had a chance to fight back.

You should know that bounty hunters are all desperate criminals who will do anything for money, and they're mostly Jonin-level...

A group of Jonin didn't dare utter a sound in front of the young man in the straw hat. They could only obediently pay up and leave. The scene was truly shocking.

He had been a manager here his whole life, and this was the first time he had ever seen such a powerful person.

We must tell the boss about this!

While Lian Ye was busy collecting money, the old shopkeeper entered the secret room behind him.

In the empty, secret room, the old shopkeeper lay on the ground and called out softly.

"My lord, everyone who went to the gold exchange caused trouble, and all the ninjas responsible for guarding it are dead!"

The scarred, burly man and his men were actually guards hidden by the gold exchange.

As soon as he finished speaking, a white humanoid creature appeared on the ground—White Zetsu.

The gold exchange is one of Black Zetsu's industrial chains. It has been operating in the ninja world for a thousand years, so it naturally needs some ways to make money.

"I'll tell the boss. As for you, good luck."

After saying that, its body disappeared back into the ground...

The old shopkeeper sighed helplessly and hunched over as he returned to the counter.

When he came out, only Lian Ye was left in the exchange.

"Sir, I'm just a laborer, I have no money at all." The old shopkeeper smiled bitterly, "Do with me as you please."

He was adopted and raised by White Zetsu from a young age, and after he grew up, he became the manager of the gold exchange.

He's dedicated his entire life to this job; he's already content to have lived to this age.

Lian Ye had no intention of killing the old man, but instead asked the question she had previously asked.

Why isn't there a bounty on my head?

Even Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi have bounties on their heads, so why doesn't he?!

Discrimination, blatant discrimination! The exchange clearly doesn't take him, Konoha's "Breaking Bad," seriously!

The old shopkeeper looked at the young man in the straw hat with a complicated expression. Even with the wide straw hat covering his face, one could still see the barely suppressed anger on the young man's face.

"I don't know your surname?"

……

Not far from the gold exchange.

"I'm really lucky today. I ran into my assassination target as soon as I stepped out the door." Kakuzu held the bloodied head in his hand and revealed a satisfied smile.

The dirty heads will soon be turned into piles of clean banknotes; just thinking about it is exciting...

Just then, Kakuzu suddenly saw a group of naked men running wildly toward his location, passing by him in the blink of an eye.

"what happened?"

A kind-hearted person couldn't help but warn: "Don't go to the gold exchange; someone there has robbed us of all our money!"

After saying that, the kind-hearted person covered his underwear and ran away.

"Someone is robbing people inside the exchange?" Kakuzu's eyes lit up.

Doesn't this mean—

If you kill the robbers, all the money will be yours?!

Kakuzu is an expert at double-crossing.

Look at how miserable those guys look! Those robbers are really ruthless!

They only left him with a pair of underwear...

Chapter 294 Advance Salary Payment

"You mean the cook caused trouble at my gold exchange?!"

Deep underground, Black Zetsu looked at White Zetsu, who had come to report, incredulously, a big question mark appearing on his forehead.

It turns out that the white Zetsu that was in the gold exchange shop didn't leave immediately, but secretly went to the hall to check the identity of the troublemaker.

The problem was immediately apparent: the person causing trouble at the gold exchange was none other than Uchiha Renya!

You have to understand, that guy is the chef that Lord Black Zetsu has his eye on!

White Zetsu didn't dare to delay and immediately rushed over to report to the mastermind, Black Zetsu. Black Zetsu happened to be inspecting the exchange during this time, so he learned of the news immediately.

“That’s right, Lord Black Zetsu.”

"Why did he come to the gold exchange to cause trouble?!" Blackie asked, puzzled.

Wasn't the cook supposed to be traveling in the ninja world? Why is he suddenly causing trouble at the Gold Exchange?

Could it be that someone who exchanged gold had offended him?

It didn't care at all about the losses of the gold exchange; it only wanted to find out the purpose of Lian Ye's trip.

It's just a gold exchange; if it's gone, it's gone. Industries like it are already widespread throughout the ninja world, so they don't care about this small loss at all.

But Mother only had one cook!

Previously, Black Zetsu discovered that someone in the gold exchange had offered a bounty of 300 million for Renya's head, a price comparable to that of the Kage of the Five Great Shinobi Villages!

For the sake of the cook's safety, it ordered that no bounty be issued for Renya in the ninja world's gold exchange office.

Furthermore, no information about Renye can be sold on the black market!

The chef's life is of paramount importance!

That's right, the black market in the ninja world is still Zetsu's business.

White Zetsu can use the Mayfly Technique, which is so subtle that it is almost imperceptible, making it incredibly easy for them to gather intelligence.

It was precisely because of this that it established the black market.

……

"Lord Black Zetsu, the cook seems to be here to rob a bounty hunter..."

"Robbery?" Black Zetsu murmured softly, "Looks like the cook is short of money."

So that's why Lian Ye suddenly went to the money exchange; it turns out she was broke and that's why she came to rob them.

Since the cook has no money, let's give him some. Consider it payment for cooking for my mother in the future; it's like receiving an advance on his salary.

Money is not important to Black Zetsu anyway; it's just a tool to win people's hearts.

In its view, only resurrecting its mother was the most important thing; everything else was completely unimportant.

Of course, anything involving my mother is important, including her future cook.

"You'll have to find a way to get the employees to transfer the money from the gold exchange to the cook."

"Understood, Lord Black Zetsu!"

……

"The gold exchange can't issue a bounty on me?" Lian Ye's eyes widened in shock, her voice rising several decibels. "Are you kidding me?"

"Lord Lianye, this is the boss's order." The old shopkeeper was somewhat embarrassed.

It turned out that the young man in front of them was the person the boss had specially taken care of.
