It seems that we have to wait until later to find opportunities to take action. Now... why not go see how Hongdou is doing? He left in such a hurry that he seemed to have forgotten to take this little bean sprout with him...

Chapter 121, Handover Mission, Black-Hearted Merchant

When Xie and Zhixue arrived at the mission handover location, the sky was already dark.

Zhixue, who was holding a lantern in his hand, saw a light in the distance in an area similar to the Gobi.

"It seems that that should be the handover point for the group of businessmen. It just so happens that we can go and take a rest." Xie put the map away and then hurried over with Zhixue at a faster pace.

……

"President, there is a letter from the organization we hired underground."

"So fast? Have they found the enemy's location now?" The old man sitting in a gorgeous ballroom said in surprise.

"No, no, they said they came to you to hand over the task. They have already wiped out the bandits in the desert."

"Nani?"

ten minutes later…

In a quiet tavern around the inn, with more than twenty delicious dishes placed on the table, an old man with white hair and glasses looked at Zhixue and Xie who walked in from the door.

"Oh, oh, your organization's actions are so fast? It really opened my eyes. But even if you complete the task, you should let the leader who took over the task come over to hand it over, right? Just send two people, right? …”

Before Xie could listen to what the old guy in front of him said, he opened the seal of the scroll, and a blood-stained bundle was lifted by Fei Liuhu's tail.

"There's no need to say anything more about troublesome things. Just give me the money quickly."

As a businessman, the white-haired old man frowned when he smelled the smell of blood.

This is a place where guests are entertained, so it was really rude to just take out a bloody human head.

"Oh, don't be so anxious, you two. Where are you now? Since the transaction is successful, you should have a good celebration." The old man waved his hand, and the two hired warriors standing beside him came from Scorpion's He took the head out and prepared for inspection.

However, Xie didn't want to waste words with the old man in front of him at this time. Winning relationships and drinking and drinking culture are common methods used by businessmen, but he is not interested in it. He just wants to make things simpler and more convenient.

Xie was still trying his best to get the reward for the task from the old man as soon as possible, but Zhixue didn't have so many worries at this time, sat down on the chair, picked up chopsticks and started eating.

The dishes are all prepared, so you won’t get anything if you don’t eat, and you can also save some meal money from the system.

Although the old man is still trying his best to establish a good relationship with the Xiao organization, Xia obviously has no intention of further negotiation. It is his greatest respect to communicate with the old man in front of him without throwing the whip on his old face. .

After a verbal argument, Zhixue took a sip of watermelon juice, touched his slightly swollen belly with satisfaction, and then looked at where Xie and the merchant were.

She had just finished eating, and when the old man heard from Xie that only two people could complete the task, his face became warm and angry, and he pointed at Zhixue who was eating and drinking.

"Are you joking with me? You, an adult, and a kid like this can destroy an entire wandering army of nearly a thousand people? Do you think they are all trash? Or are you just on an assassination mission?"

Zhixue was pointed out inexplicably:? ? ?

Xie, who had been entangled with the old man for so long, now exuded a murderous aura when he heard the hostility in the old man's words, instantly making the old guy's face turn pale.

"You'd better not doubt our strength. If our organization hadn't kept its promises, I'm afraid you would have been buried a few minutes ago." The broad and sharp tail behind Fei Liuhu flashed under the light. The cold light and the icy murderous aura seemed to transport the old man from the desert to the cold winter in an instant.

Under the influence of Xie's murderous intent, the old man's attitude seemed to have changed. In less than 5 minutes, he had handed over the 500 million taels of mission fee to Xie's hands.

However, when the two of them saved 200 million taels and handed it over to the organization on their way back for a while, and the other 300 million taels were shared equally with Zhixue, Zhixue discovered something was wrong.

Ding, it was detected that the currency was counterfeit and could not be deposited into the system's deposit balance.

"Nani, counterfeit coins?" Zhixue took out a piece of silver and looked at it carefully with his Blood Chakra Eye, and indeed found something wrong.

As if he sensed the reason why Zhixue stopped behind him, Xie turned back to look at Zhixue who looked uncomfortable and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Brother Scorpion...this money is fake!"

……

When Zhixue and Xie returned from the original route, the old man who had helped them to clean up the dust had disappeared, and the owner of the store also hid under the table with a frightened look.

"Don't, don't come to me! I, I don't know anything. You should run away, because those bloodthirsty monsters in the desert are probably coming! If you don't run, it will be too late!"

Seeing the boss's horrified expression, Zhixue and Xie looked at each other.

What are those businessmen doing?

Due to insufficient intelligence, Zhixue arrested the boss. Under the blood-red Magatama Sharingan, the young boss was still hypnotized by the illusion and told the reason for the matter.

It turned out that although the merchants who hired their Akatsuki organization were on the surface the largest commercial organization in the western region of the ninja world, they were actually engaged in many smuggling activities and monopoly industries behind the scenes, and even fed many local beasts and poisonous insects for use in the desert. Block all routes except their trade routes.

And this time, because an entire organization of nearly a thousand people is blocking the way, if the Chamber of Commerce wants to continue to open up the route, I am afraid that it will lose more than 500 million. Originally, they planned to make good friends with the Akatsuki organization if it can succeed. , it can also be used for hiring when you encounter difficult things in the future.

But this time, although there were heads of enemy targets, only two people were obviously unconvincing, so the Chamber of Commerce felt that the Akatsuki organization was unreliable, so they started to think of gangsters.

Although you helped us kill the enemy leader, if there are only two people, it is not impossible to consider taking the money back into your hands.

It would be fine if Zhixue and Xie left with the fake money and never came back, even if the Akatsuki organization came to find them and casually shied the blame to the scapegoat prepared in advance, but if Zhixue and Xie came back...

Then we have to let the two of them remain silent in the desert forever. After all, their chamber of commerce did not kill the people, and they did not steal the money. Who can see or steal the desert, a no-man's land with rare human traces? Where's the evidence? They are nothing more than a defenseless chamber of commerce. Even the security of their trade routes has to be organized by hiring others. How can they possibly have much force value?

The boss himself is just a person who cooks for them all year round, and his family is also in the hands of the Chamber of Commerce, so he doesn't dare to report the truth to others.

After Zhixue learned the information he wanted, he threw the unconscious boss on the ground. Then he turned on the immortal mode and sensed hundreds of whale-like sandworms and several casters surging from the surroundings. A ninja with secret skills.

"Huh? It's the same chakra wave as the sandworm that originally attacked. It seems that you have killed a lot of people by raising this kind of thing. They are really a bunch of guys with human faces and animal hearts..." Zhixue twisted his wrist, and then his body The chakra inside gradually became active.

"I won't go fishing this time. I just want to stretch my muscles..."

Chapter 122, Siege

Different from the heat during the day, the desert at night is extremely cold after cooling down. The biting cold wind blows in the sea of ​​​​sand, raising clear waves of dust. More than a dozen figures are running across the desert with secret scrolls in their hands. In the middle of the road, there were waves of bulges under the sand.

Zhixue sensed that the sandworms and ninjas were about to surround the place. He walked out of the restaurant and thrust the grass pheasant sword into the sand. A bright flame illuminated Zhixue's position like a beacon. come out.

"Hey, can you do it alone?" Xie walked behind Zhixue and asked, frowning as he looked at the unusual chakra fluctuations in the distance.

"Ah, they're just a bunch of fish, just leave it to me." The three magatama in Zhixue's eyes rotated together, and scarlet light accompanied by a cold chakra escaped from Zhixue's body. Scattered out, making Xie Xie a little surprised.

"Is this the eye power of the Uchiha clan?"

The old man from the Chamber of Commerce, who was still sitting happily in a sedan chair outside, thinking about how to deal with the bodies of Xie and Zhixue perfectly later, looked at Zhixue who seemed to have a torch in the distance and couldn't help laughing.

"Pfft~ In the current situation, you are so stupid that you put up a lantern without thinking about how to escape? Do you want to ascend to heaven quickly so you can see your grandparents? Hahahahaha!"

Listening to the mocking laughter in his ears, a ninja beside him seemed to sense something was wrong.

"There seems to be something wrong with the enemy's chakra..."

"What are you afraid of? We have fed hundreds of sandworms in this desert. Is it possible that the two of them can cause trouble? Even a strong man of the same level as the major ninja village shadows can face it alone. The wolves in the desert... are probably going to hate this too, right?" Seeing the worried look on the ninja's face, the old man from the Chamber of Commerce said arrogantly.

Looking at his boss's ignorant look, Ninja felt a little disdainful, but he still didn't show it. Who asked him to give him more money?

However, Kage-level experts are indeed rare in the ninja world, but most of them are famous in the ninja world and have a place to stay, so it is impossible to live in an underground organization, even if both of them are elites of the ninja village. Forbearance, facing the terrain and the numerical advantage of sandworms, it is almost impossible to escape from such an encirclement.

Using his Sharingan to observe the large traces of chakra surging out of the ground, Zhixue stretched out his hand, and a small spiral wheel emerged in his hand.

"Come on, let me see how powerful the bugs you fed are." Zhixue observed the movement of the sandworms, used Professor Zhisui's teleportation technique and disappeared instantly, and then in just 30 seconds, Continuous explosions traveled in a circle around the encirclement. Covered in crimson light, more than twenty sandworms were pinned to death in the sand by Zhixue with a quick-fire spiral wheel before the attack started.

"Then, what is that!? Is it a ghost?" A ninja who used secret techniques to control sandworms felt that he had less and less control in his hands, and suddenly had an unpleasant feeling.

Poof... In the desert, a round head fell to the ground, and its face seemed to maintain a stiff expression that changed from worry to fear.

……

"Here, what is going on? Have we encountered an ambush?" The old man from the Chamber of Commerce, who was sitting leisurely in the sedan before, looked at the explosions that continued to sound in the distance, and his mood gradually became uneasy.

As the team leader, the ninja's expression turned ugly when he saw the firelight in the distance.

"It seems that I have encountered a tough problem. I am really unlucky. It seems that I have to prepare for the worst outcome..."

As if he heard what the ninja said, the old man of the Chamber of Commerce was also heartbroken. He quickly ran out from the sedan chair lifted by many servants, grabbed his hand and said -

"Brother, we promised to cooperate for a long time and make progress together. Don't break your promise easily!"

The ninja broke off the old man's hand and said with a gloomy face: "Don't worry, as long as you give me a lot of money, even if Uchiha Shisui, the hero of Konoha, comes, I can make him sleep forever. In the desert…”

Seeing the way the ninja looked at him, the old man understood something. He took out a bracelet made of blue crystals from his clothes with some pain.

"This is carved from the extremely precious Glenel diamond in the West. It is worth at least 300 million taels. This should be interesting enough, right?"

The ninja looked around at the workmanship of the bracelet before nodding his head with satisfaction and a smile on his lips: "President, we are old friends. Of course we will not abandon you. Just sit in the sedan and wait with peace of mind." News..."

……

Konoha Village…

At this time, the sun had just set on the cliff. As a former disciple of Orochimaru, Mitarai Anko was also very proficient in snake forms, and carried out operations to capture snakes in the streets and alleys.

After licking the chin of a small green snake, Hongdou gently put it into a cage specially designed for snakes.

After not sensing the breath of other snakes, Hongdou also stood up, twisted her sore neck and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I haven't seen so many snakes in a long time. Could it be because... hiss!"

While still thinking about the memory of that man in her memory, Anko suddenly felt a pain in her neck, and the black magatama-shaped curse seal seemed to light up with a burst of red light.

At the corner in the distance, Orochimaru looked at Anko and raised a smile.

"Have you been able to adapt to the existence of the curse seal? You are worthy of being my disciple of Orochimaru, but now is not the time..." Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth sickly. It was a little regretful that he did not bring Anko with him at that time, but The problem isn't big, there won't be much change in Konoha for a while.

After observing that the curse seal was very stable, Orochimaru felt relieved, and then sensed several small snakes in the village and quickly found Uchiha Itachi's figure.

10 minutes later...

"I'm going to put the captured snakes into a temporary holding area and release them later. I'm going to ask you to continue doing this, one against seven."

"Don't worry, Shisui, I'm very good at catching snakes." Itachi said with a smile.

After hearing Itachi's answer, Shisui nodded his head, then carried two sacks and used the teleportation technique to disappear.

And Orochimaru, who was watching Uchiha Shisui leaving in the corner, also had a flash of light in the corner of his eyes.

"It seems that the opportunity has come... Itachi-kun, I hope that you who only have three magatama can bring me some different surprises. Of course, it won't be Yuki's surprise..." Speaking of Zhixue, Orochimaru's eyes became even brighter. It became fanatical.

The power of the Uchiha clan is really fascinating...

Chapter 123, Pursuit

Roar! In addition to the sounds of the wind and the sofa in the desert, there were also the screams and screams of many sandworms.

After Zhixue used the instant body technique to create a small burst, the shadow clones he created temporarily suppressed the sandworm's offensive, while the main body chased behind the large army, the one who had given them fake money before. In front of the businessman.
