283 Chapter 282 The Man With a Bounty of 1 Billion

Konoha, in Hokage Tower.

Sōseki, who had just come back to report on his mission, looked at Minato, who was apologetic, and asked, "So, I have to go again after just coming back? And this time, to Sunagakure?"

"Sorry, because this is what the agreement that Kazekage and Sandaime-sama had agreed long ago, and you were appointed as the envoy, Sōseki." Minato became more and more skillfully in talking, "So, I can only trouble you to make a trip again!"

"The agreement between Kazekage and Sandaime-sama?" Sōseki asked suspiciously.

"According to Sandaime-sama, this is an agreement they made during the Chunin Exams. As one of the conditions for Sunagakure to participate in the war, you will go to the Sunagakure's Shinobi Academy for exchange and guide them for a period of time!"

"I was sold without even knowing it!" Sōseki sighed helplessly.

"Haha, it's not bad if you think about it carefully!" Minato said with a laugh, "It's a public-funded trip, at least, it's much better than sitting in this office every day!"

"Even if it's a trip, choosing the destination in the desert is too much...." Sōseki shook his head in disbelief, "Forget it, I'd better go ahead and prepare them. After all, it's a rare opportunity for those three to go to Sunagakure to exchange."

Minato put his hands together and said, "Please!"

...

Konoha, in the orphanage.

"Wow! Kabuto-nii and the others are here!"

"Hasu-nee and the others brought so many delicious foods!"

With the arrival of the three, the orphanage burst into cheers.

The war has just ended, and it is at a time when supplies are scarce.

Although Konoha has the upper hand in this war, there is no winner in the war. So even if they won this war, their situation is only slightly better than the other villages.

For orphanage, the situation is even worse.

The money Nonō alone is just a drop in the bucket from the money needed to run the orphanage.

Fortunately, the previous group of orphans who became Shinobi could also earn rewards by completing missions, but they did not make a lot of money, so it is left to these three local tyrants.

Of course, the so-called "local tyrants" are actually only compared to children.

After distributing the food, Nonō called the three aside and sighed in relief and pity, "It's really hard for you three, because of this, you don't make a lot of money for yourself. You shouldn't bother much with this orphanage, with the subsidy given to everyone, I will figure out what to do!"

"It's fine, we make a lot of money!" Hasu exaggeratedly described by opening her arms.

"And we are Medical-nin, so we don't need to take risks or buy equipment like Urushi and the others. So the money we have is simply useless!" Kiri proudly declared.

"Really?" Nonō asked the three people with doubts.

"Of course..." Hasu said confidently, but suddenly, her stomach "grumbled", causing her face blushed, and she couldn't continue.

Nonō suddenly said seriously, "Have you three not eaten yourself?"

Kabuto weakly raised his right hand, "The three of us went to the cafeteria to eat just before coming here!"

Kiri repeatedly nods, "It's all because of Lian's appetite!"

Nonō's eyes reddened, and she squatted down to embrace the three of them in her arms. "Stupid child, don't do this again in the future!"

At this moment, a gentle voice mixed with a little helpless voice came from behind them.

"Seeing you guys like this, as your teacher, I'm really ashamed!"

Hearing this familiar voice, the three turned back and shouted excitedly.

"Sōseki-sama!"

"Sōseki-sensei!"

"Sōseki." Nonō was also smiling, and then looked at the woman next to Sōseki and asked "This is?"

"This is special envoy from Sunagakure, Pakura." Sōseki explained, and then he bent down and rubbed his three students' small heads, "Next time you have any problems, you should tell me directly. Don't do something like this."

"Hmm!" The three nodded vigorously.

After saying that, Sōseki stood up again and said apologetically, "Nonō-nee, I'm sorry, I didn't even know that orphanage is in such a difficult situation now!"

Nonō shook her head slightly and said, "You are now the Hokage's assistant, and there are many things you need to do. So, I don't want to disturb you with such trivial matters."

"How could this be trivial matters?" Sōseki sighed, "Well, let me take out 35 million ryō first. Will it beenough?"

"Where did you get so much..." Nonō said but then she laughed dumbly. She remembers that Sōseki now is someone with a very high status, so it is natural for him to have so much money.

"I can't take it, it's too much money!"

Sōseki is completely indifferent, 'Is 35 million ryō a lot? In the future, it is just Asuma's price.'

"In the underground bounty exchange, Mizukage's head is worth one hundred million ryō. If I am short of money, I can just kill a few Missing-nin!" Sōseki said calmly.

"One hundred million ryō!" The eyes of the three little peasants seemed to have turned into the shape of stars, and their eyes looking towards Sōseki were full of admiration.

They only earned more than 100,000 ryō after painstakingly working in the hospital, but their sensei earned One hundred million ryō in minutes.

Pakura, on the side, could not help but ask, "Sōseki, have you received the One hundred million ryō bounty?"

"I heard that the rule of the underground bounty exchange is to have a complete corpse. No matter how it is, Mizukage is still the Kage of a village. So it's not good to desecrate his corpse." Sōseki shook his head.

"For widely spread deeds, as long as you can prove your identity, even if you don't have the corpse, you can still receive half of the bounty." Pakura added.

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Sōseki smiled and looked towards Pakura, "I didn't expect you to have a lot of research on bounties."

Pakura shook her head slightly and looked at Sōseki with a solemn gaze, "I'm studying this is actually because of you, Sōseki!"

Sōseki pointed at himself in surprise, "Because of me?"

"Maybe you don't know yet, but now, you now have the highest bounty in the underground bounty exchange!" Pakura said solemnly, "The bounty given is one billion ryō!"

"What? One billion?" Both the three kids and Nonō exclaimed in unison.

'Only thirty Asuma...' Sōseki is not worried, and even complained in his heart leisurely.

Seeing Sōseki didn't seem to care, Pakura reminded, "I know that you are very strong, Sōseki. If you are fighting head-on, maybe no one in the Shinobi World can be your opponent!"

"But those hyenas have always used everything, assassination, poisoning, traps, they can do anything, and there are also a lot of experts among those people!"

Seeing that the three kids and Nonō seem to be worried, Sōseki smiled and said, "Don't worry, I am very experienced in being assassinated. In the early stage of the war, if I didn't get assassinated for a while, I wouldn't be able sleep well!"

Seeing Sōseki claiming to be an "assassinated expert", Nonō didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and said, "Well, you should pay more attention to yourself."

Sōseki nodded with a smile, "In exchange, Nonō-nee, please accept the money!"

Nonō was silent for a moment and then sighed heavily, "Sōseki, thank you, thank you very much!"

"Don't mind, I'm not interested in money. Now that I think about it, the time when I was happiest with money was when I was working in the hospital when I was still a child!" Sōseki recalled.

About Sōseki's words, the three kids never had any doubts. After hearing this, the worship in their eyes became even stronger.

'As expected of Sōseki-sama. In the future, I will also have this kind of consciousness!'

'This hard work is the happiest? We must cherish this period of time!'
