Chapter 53: Visiting the Uchiha Clan
_
“What kind of monster?”
Cain pretended to look puzzled, but he guessed that Kushina was probably going to become a Jinchuriki soon. Thinking of this, Cain felt a little sad. It might not be so easy to see the girl again in the future.
When Kushina heard Cain’s question, she didn’t know how to describe the Nine-Tailed Fox. In the end, she could only use her few adjectives and constant waving hands to say, “It’s a very scary and terrifying monster. In a little while, I might become that kind of monster.”
“Kushina, the scariest thing to me is when someone doesn’t pay after a transaction.”
Cain patted Kushina’s head and said to her, not really comforting her, “Thanks for reminding me. I finally remember. Do you remember when I invited you to play video games last time, and you ate more than ten boxes of sweets without paying?”
“Ah, is there such a thing?”
Kushina was reminded by Cain and suddenly remembered what had happened that day. She immediately pretended not to know anything, stiffly turned her head, and looked at the guest room.
“Boss, did you remember wrong?”
“You’re really not good at lying, Kushina. That guilty look on your face already shows that you remember this.”
Cain’s face showed a standard businessman smile. He took out an abacus from somewhere and played with the beads while saying to Kushina, “One high-end filled truffle chocolate is worth three hundred Ryo. I remember there were more than ten boxes that day. Let’s calculate it as nineteen boxes. Nineteen boxes of high-end chocolate-filled truffles, in total…”
The sound of the beads clicking in the room rang out, and Kushina’s fear of the Nine-Tailed Fox gradually turned into fear of the sound of the beads. Finally, after Kushina swallowed her saliva, the sound of the beads stopped.
“In total, it’s 763,700 Ryo. Thank you for reminding me, Kushina. Remember to pay back the money as soon as possible, or the interest will keep increasing. I remember you’re a ninja now, and you should be able to make a lot of money, right?”
After hearing this number, Kushina’s eyes widened like walnuts. “Boss, you’re really a devil!”
“The devil follows the principle of exchange, while I follow the principle of trade. They’re completely different, Kushina. Remember to give me your orange wallet tomorrow morning. That way, the interest can be reduced a bit.”
Cain patted the fearful Kushina on the head, then took out a box of unlabeled fruity lollipops and shoved it into Kushina’s arms.
“Go back to bed now. Don’t think too much. Focus on your training and completing your missions, and then pay back the money properly.”
After that, Cain pushed Kushina out of the room, but before closing the door, he reminded Kushina to bring her orange wallet tomorrow morning.
After leaving Cain’s room, Kushina still felt a little confused. She had come to confide in him but ended up owing hundreds of thousands of Ryo and even signed an IOU?
What a terrifying boss!
Kushina thought to herself, but when she saw the candy in her arms, her bad mood about becoming the Nine-Tailed Fox was completely gone. Now she could imagine that even if she became a Jinchuriki and she went to see Cain, he would still wave an IOU and take away her orange wallet.
“Hehe~”
Kushina couldn’t help but laugh foolishly twice when she thought of that scene, holding the lollipop jar in her arms. She would practice at six in the morning and see how the boss would find her.
“Kushina, what are you laughing at? What are you holding in your arms? Is it food?”
Kushina didn’t notice Tsunade when she laughed foolishly. After hearing this, she quickly wanted to hide the candy, but it was too late now.
Tsunade quickly walked to Kushina’s side and took a look before saying unceremoniously, “Don’t hide it; I’ve seen it. These are from Cain, right? Give me half.”
“Tsunade, half is too much.”
Kushina quickly shook her head and refused. She suspected everyone around her was wicked, just like leaving the wolf’s den and entering the tiger’s lair.
Although Kushina resisted fiercely, she was too young and was eventually taken away by Tsunade, who took half of the candy.
The next day, Kushina took her orange purse and quietly went to practice while it was still dark. As for Tsunade, she followed Cain to his several shops, gave some instructions to Nanami, and recommended Nono Yakushi to Tsunade.
Nono Yakushi’s talent in medical ninjutsu, as demonstrated by his medical ninja techniques, surprised Tsunade. He had just graduated from the ninja academy and had already compared with some medical ninjas in their twenties in terms of medical ninjutsu.
After assessing Nono Yakushi, Tsunade decided to take her as her student on the spot. However, she temporarily didn’t have time to teach Nono Yakushi and could only arrange for her to study at Konoha Hospital with other medical ninjas for some time.
After she had dealt with Orochimaru’s affairs, she would come back to teach Nono Yakushi.
“Let me make it clear, I will never enter the Uchiha clan’s territory. Last time, helping you deliver gifts was already the limit.”
Tsunade said to Cain with a displeased face. The bloodline she inherited was incompatible with the Uchiha clan. Surveillance and suspicion were inevitable if she entered the Uchiha clan’s territory, although she would not be expelled on the surface.
“It’s okay; just send me near the Uchiha clan’s territory. I believe no one will act recklessly in the headquarters of the Uchiha clan’s guards.”
Cain said with a smile. He inquired a lot about the Uchiha clan’s information from Tsunade, including the current clan leader and some key members.
The current Uchiha clan had experienced turmoil led by Madara Uchiha and Setsuna Uchiha. Hawk faction members are now rare, and most of the Uchiha clan desires peace.
Even if they encountered political injustice, these people planned to exchange their battlefield merits for their political status in the village, making them relatively easy to communicate with.
Although the Senju and Uchiha clans did not get along well, Tsunade had a high opinion of the current clan leader, Hitoshi Uchiha.
“That’s enough for now; I’ll visit them myself from here on,” he said.
Cain said to Tsunade with the gift in his hand. The Uchiha guards were only a hundred meters away, and letting Tsunade deliver the gift would be inappropriate.
