Naruto: If I ask you to kill Sasuke, you will become a succubus?

We left Kirigakure the next day.

The word "slippery" may not be quite accurate, but on the way out, we really wanted to avoid meeting people from Konoha and Sunagakure.

Especially old Kakashi... bah, Kakashi, my heart always tightened at every turn when I left the Hidden Mist Village, worried that he would suddenly appear in front and wait for us.

Fortunately, we left the village safely.

Following Zabuza's instructions, we entered the black market, first accepted the mission of hunting down rebel ninjas in exchange for bounties, and then purchased information about "Akatsuki".

The Hidden Mist Village is very short of money now. Uchiha Madara used Karajima Yagura to almost empty the entire village. The Daimyo of the Land of Water believed that Zabuza came to power through rebellion and was dissatisfied with him. He was unwilling to allocate funds to support him and strongly demanded that he show results first.

But without funds, it is like a housewife trying to make something out of nothing if she doesn't have the wherewithal to achieve anything.

If we ask the lower-level ninjas to accept the dirty work that other countries have given up, there may be a way, but that is not the kind of Mist Village we want.

Recently, the Hidden Mist Ninja School has been increasing its enrollment, and there are many orphans in the Hidden Mist Village. The welfare home and the school need a large sum of money in subsidies every month. Plus, the Anbu also needs funds to operate, so everyone is asking Zabuza for money.

When Zabuza rebelled against Kirigakure, he was such a rebellious person. After becoming the Mizukage, he frowned every day and looked like he was going to lose his hair from worry.

I realized that, just as many people don't know that the first step to becoming a rebel is to abandon politeness, if we don't take the first step in pursuing our ideals, we won't know that no matter how noble and beautiful the ideals are, the first step must have the most realistic financial support - and it must be a very large amount of financial support.

Great, I have understood something that is very difficult to understand!

Only by being aware of the problem can you solve it.

It’s just money!

Before leaving, when Zabuza said he was short of money, Neji also thought of a solution: "The Hidden Mist Village still has some money in Konoha."

Zabuza looked at him in confusion: "When did it happen?"

"The blue Byakugan." Neji said, "If you really have no money, let the Hyuga clan pay to redeem his Byakugan. That is the eye of the main family. In order to get back the relics of their ancestors, the Hyuga clan will definitely be willing to spend a lot of money."

Zabuza: "..."

Ningci said: "Selling one of his Byakugan, and I still have two Byakugan here, it's like you gaining nothing."

Zabuza: "..."

Bai didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Can this be calculated?"

I also thought of a solution, and quickly raised my hand and said, "We can also go find Deidara and Scorpion!"

Zabuza paused: "Why is that?"

"Kado has so much money, where did it go in the end?" I said unconvincedly, "If they took it away, I won't agree! Everyone who sees it gets a share, they must give us a share!"

Now that I have Susanoo, my confidence in direct combat has increased greatly: "If they want to take it all for themselves, I will beat them up."

With this calculation, if things go well, the money problem is still easy to solve!

In addition, the rewards for hunting down wanted criminals were considerable, so we made money and gradually gained a reputation.

Everyone in the black market knows that a bounty hunter organization called Worm Nest has recently emerged, specializing in sniping wanted rebel ninjas from various countries and collecting bounties.

Our top priority is to target the rebel ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village. If they are heinous criminals, we will kill them in exchange for the bounty. If they have reasons and have to defect, I will comfort them and tell them that they can go back to the Hidden Mist Village and no one will pursue or hurt them anymore.

Two months later, Haku sent a letter saying that the negotiations between Kirigakure and Konoha were progressing slowly but surely. Konoha seemed to really want to form an alliance, and Zabuza was entangled with Kakashi on every detail.

Although Kakashi was the main person in charge, it was Shikamaru who conducted the actual negotiations.

I couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for Zabuza.

Maki of the Sand Village seemed to have received instructions from the village elders and also expressed his intention to form an alliance with the Kirigakure, but only the Jonin were left in the Sand Village delegation. Temari and Kankuro had already left the Kirigakure Village.

I wonder if they have given up on looking for Gaara.

Three months later, we gained the trust of the black market, and the Intelligence Department began to be willing to sell us some more confidential information.

"You said you were looking for someone wearing a black robe with red clouds. I recently remembered that I seem to have seen someone like this one."

The black market intelligence chief smiled and gave us two photos: "Kakuzu and Hidan, they are bounty-chasing renegade hunters just like you."

They are not my targets, but since I finally got news about Xiao, I can only start with them.

I asked, behind my mask, “How do I find them?”

The intelligence chief said: "Well, I think as long as you keep hunting down the rebel ninjas, they might come to you on their own initiative, because you have cut off their source of income."

I thought about it and felt that what he said made sense.

On this day, a rebel ninja we were tracking entered the red-light district. He was a cunning ninja who did all kinds of evil. He was not outstanding in other aspects, but when it came to escaping, he was as slippery as a loach.

But Gaara, Neji and I, none of us have any experience in red-light districts, especially Gaara and Neji - at their age, they would be questioned as soon as they entered, and even if they could use transformation techniques to become adults, they would not know what to disguise themselves as.

"If that's the case... as a girl, I won't arouse suspicion if I go in alone."

"That's the only way." Neji frowned and said, "You wear the headset. Gaara and I will be outside the red light district. I will use my Byakugan to tell you his location. Once you control him, we will rush in to help you."

I nodded, changed out of my ninja-style clothes, put on a loose dress that was easy to move in, and followed the makeup techniques taught in the Ninja School to put on some makeup to look more mature.

But with the convenience of transformation techniques, I never practiced it after makeup get out of class because I spent all my time on other courses. So when it came time to use it this time, the way I drew it was a little... completely different from what I wanted to draw.

Ningji hesitated for a moment, as if he was a little worried about hurting my self-esteem, but he still couldn't help asking: "Asakaro, are you wearing oiran makeup?"

Gaara held the mirror for me, and I looked at myself in the mirror - I didn't know if I bought the wrong shade of foundation, or if I used it incorrectly, but my skin was as white as if it had been painted on a wall;

The eyeshadow was crimson, smudged so awkwardly and exaggeratedly that it looked like someone had punched her;

The blush is purple, which is cold and warm with the eyeshadow, and the color conflict is very obvious;

The best situation is lipstick. Just adding lipstick, my face, eye shadow and blush are already a three-way fight.

Gaara said, "But this way, no one will be able to recognize it's Asaro. It's a good disguise."

Even if I re-drew it, I wouldn't be able to draw it better overnight. Thinking "at least the disguise is good enough", I walked into the red light street alone.

Completely different from my previous worry that too exaggerated makeup would attract attention, the red-light street was full of men and women with the same exaggerated makeup as me, or even weirder ones.

I felt a lot more relieved at once, and followed Neci's instructions through the headset, pretending to approach the target naturally.

But at this moment, I suddenly felt my body stiffen and I lost control.

"You got Fooled."

There was a voice ringing in my mind.

"Tell me, how is the rooting going?"

"Mountain Wind?"

"Did you kill Qugen?"

"Why are you here? The target we are hunting...is this a trap you set?"

"What else?" Shan Zhongfeng said coldly, "How can a traitor from an unknown village avoid the white eyes next to you time and time again?"

"Shouldn't you be in the Hidden Mist Village?"

"My mission is not to negotiate any alliance in the Hidden Mist Village. I just need to find you... If you kill Tone, I will avenge him! If he is still alive, you'd better hand him back to me now."

"…His situation is a bit special now."

"What do you mean?"

"He's still alive, but he doesn't remember you anymore."

"What did you do to him!?"

"I used the Sharingan's eye technique to clear all his memories. Even if you take him away, no one can restore him."

"Hmph, don't look down on Konoha, you traitor! What makes you think that no one can break your eye technique?"

Shan Zhongfeng controlled me and pulled out a kunai from the weapon bag hidden under my skirt.

"If you don't let your companions deliver the root, then let's see how much blood you can shed!"

After saying that, he controlled me and stabbed himself hard in the arm.

Some passers-by around me glanced at me, but the amazing thing was that no one thought there was anything wrong with it, and everyone continued to play and play as if they were even more indifferent to death, and more numb and apathetic than the ninjas who had to live with death all day long.

Neji's heavy voice came from the headset: "Asaro? Something happened, didn't it?"

If his Byakugan could sense that there was an extra chakra in my body that didn't belong to me, Neji would have realized that something was wrong.

I spoke with difficulty: "The mountain...wind..."

Shan Zhongfeng coldly snatched the right to use my mouth: "Hand over the root, otherwise, I will let this girl bleed to death on the street."

Neji was silent.

I guess he was thinking that even if he was willing to return Qu Gen, Shan Zhong Feng might not let me go after seeing his current state.

Of course I know that Zabuza, Haku, and Neji all disapprove of me raising Aburame Tone. His ability can kill anyone who touches him, so people dare not get close to him. Keeping him around is like leaving a time bomb.

But I don't want to kill him, but I can't let him go back and continue to oppose us. Besides, Gaara said, "If outsiders know that Asakaro turned Aburame into this state... her reputation will be ruined."

Is it really that exaggerated?

Ever since he said that, Zabuza and Neji never mentioned handing over the Root again.

Seeing that Neji was silent, Yamanaka Feng snorted coldly: "It seems that your companions don't take you seriously either."

...No, Neji is probably struggling so hard right now because he values ​​me.

Shan Zhongfeng pulled the kunai from my arm and said, "If bleeding alone is not enough, this time, I will cut off one of your ears."

Neji said anxiously: "Wait--!!"

But as soon as I raised my hand, it was suddenly held tightly by someone.

"Mountain Wind" controlled me to turn my head and I saw a familiar mask - an orange vortex mask.

Uchiha Madara!

Through the hole in the mask, I saw him narrow his exposed eye: "What are you doing here?"
