Chapter 29 Mission Hall
Chapter 29 Mission Hall
Feeling the scorching flames that could burn their eyes, and the rolling heat waves that came with the wind, Naruto and Sasuke's expressions changed!
The two of them looked at Akali, who had unleashed the pillar of fire, without prior arrangement.
Akali then clapped her hands and stood up.
"How are you? Have you calmed down yet?"
"Gudong..."
Naruto swallowed hard, a sheepish smile on his face, and said, "Calm down, calm down!"
If he doesn't calm down, he's afraid Akali will help him calm down.
The same goes for Sasuke.
However, as an expert in Fire Release, Sasuke saw more than Naruto.
Without forming any hand seals, he simply slapped the ground with both hands and released such a fire jutsu almost instantly. How did he do that?
Sasuke wanted to know, but he restrained his curiosity.
He knew that Akali would tell them if she wanted to train them later.
"Now that you've calmed down, come over here!"
Akali continued, "I will answer your questions one by one."
"..."
Naruto and Sasuke exchanged a glance, then walked over to Akali, one on the left and one on the right.
Even so, the two were still more than a meter apart.
However, Akali didn't care about the distance between the two: "So first, let's talk about the question you're most concerned about: why is Naruto/Sasuke here?"
"It's simple, because I'm the one who invited you all!"
"Huh?" Naruto and Sasuke were startled again upon hearing Akali's words.
They initially thought it was just a coincidence that the other party was there, but they never expected that it was Akali who had called them!
"But Akali, why did you call him?" Naruto asked instinctively.
Wasn't the plan to teach him to become stronger? Why are there other people here?
Sasuke was also very unhappy.
What level is he? What level is Naruto? Why would they both have a private coach?
But with the Pillar of Flame as a deterrent, Akali's response this time was much simpler.
"What, you have a problem with that?" Akali glanced at the two of them, her slightly immature demeanor already exuding a formidable aura.
Naruto jolted awake: "N-nothing!"
Sasuke replied sullenly, "No."
"Very good, that's more like it!"
Akali's attitude brightened: "You all asked me for help because you want to improve your strength, so naturally you should obey my orders. Who to send or not to send is not your concern."
"But don't worry, since I promised you, I will give my all to teach and help you, so that you know how to improve your strength."
"So, first up is Sasuke's side!"
Akali looked at Sasuke: "Did you bring what I asked you to bring?"
"Things?" Sasuke was taken aback at first, then remembered: "I brought them."
Sasuke took out a bankbook and handed it to Akali.
Akali took the passbook, opened it, and looked directly at the balance.
"One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand... million, one million two hundred thousand taels, is this all you have? So little?"
Akali was acting strangely.
How come Sasuke, who inherited the entire Uchiha clan's fortune, only has so little money on him?
Keep in mind that Hinata has a million yen in pocket money, while Sasuke's entire fortune is only 1.2 million yen.
"Uh..." Sasuke explained somewhat awkwardly, "I didn't get much of the clan's inheritance to begin with; the majority of it was property."
"But over the years, many Uchiha shops have closed down, and the funerals back then also cost a lot of money. I chose the best things for everyone."
"At the same time, I've also invested money in Ninja Cat Workshop over the years, plus personal expenses..."
"In short, this is all the money I have now; the rest are things like property and land deeds."
“Oh!” Akali nodded knowingly.
Based on what Sasuke said, she knew without a doubt how much shady business there was, especially regarding the shop's closure.
Whether the shop went bankrupt or was a healthy shop that was secretly exploited and then resurrected, it's hard to say.
And then there are the funeral expenses...
Ha ha!
I have to say, the way those people from the third generation behaved was absolutely disgusting!
Rather, the fact that Sasuke could still keep over a million yen in a village that was so exploitative demonstrates the extravagance of the Uchiha clan back then.
After all, Sasuke certainly didn't know about things like secret vaults; if he didn't know, he didn't have them. He only got the assets that were on the surface.
However, these things have nothing to do with Akali.
Sasuke's past is his own business; once he's grown up, it's his own choice to investigate.
"Alright, one million two hundred thousand it is, that's enough!"
Akali closed the passbook: "By the way, this is the money in the passbook. You should still have some cash on hand, right?"
"Yes!" Sasuke asked, somewhat puzzled. "I have about 100,000 taels of cash on me. What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just mean that the money in this savings account will belong to me from now on!" Akali said calmly.
[Ding! Sasuke's emotional value +999!]
"Huh?" Sasuke was dumbfounded.
He was initially curious why Akali would ask him to bring a savings book when Akali was clearly trying to improve his strength.
But who knew that when Akali said "bring the bankbook," she meant giving her the bankbook!
Sasuke couldn't quite accept this.
His money didn't come from thin air; it was left to him by his parents and clan. How could Akali just take it away like that?
Sasuke was getting anxious; when it came to money, he couldn't maintain his cool demeanor at all: "Akali, what are you going to do with this money?"
Akali smiled slightly: "Alright, alright, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."
"I just let something slip. I said this money is mine, not that I'm going to keep it, but that it's mine to control!"
"And how I use this money is the method I'm going to teach you to become stronger!"
"Of course, I know you won't understand even if I say this now!"
"Come with me!"
Akali, accompanied by Naruto and Sasuke, arrived at the Konoha bank and had Sasuke withdraw all the money.
Then, carrying a suitcase full of small change, the three headed towards the very center of Konoha.
Soon, a building with a huge fire sign on its roof appeared before the three of them.
This is the Hokage Building, a place that every Konoha resident knows.
So Sasuke and Naruto were even more puzzled: "The Hokage Building, what are we doing here?"
"You'll find out soon enough!"
Akali didn't explain, leaving the question unanswered.
Then, she determined the direction and led the two into a spacious hall.
The hall is further divided into four areas: A, B, C, and D.
The CD area, in particular, was bustling with activity, if not overflowing with visitors.
However, compared to CD, there are far fewer people in area B, and even fewer in area A, with only a handful of people.
But Akali's destination this time is Area A!
"Let's go!"
Akali enters Area A.
The next second, countless sharp gazes swept over.
With a Kage, several Jonin, and countless Anbu under the watchful eyes of others, an invisible pressure arises spontaneously!
