Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

"Pleasant to work with."

"The vortex will bring down the city lord."

"You're welcome. Just call me Masato. Our Uzumaki clan has decided to become ordinary people and will no longer participate in the ninja's battles," Uzumaki Masato sighed.

"Oh? You seem to have a very clear understanding of the city lord. Compared to my runaway fiancé, you are much better." Fukuyama Sawa fiddled with her folding fan and smiled slightly.

—One of the current agents of the Fire Country Ninja World Bank, and the head of the Konoha branch.

"Hahaha—that young man must have accumulated eight lifetimes of good fortune to be able to marry someone as beautiful as Miss Sawa," said Uzumaki Shoto.

To be honest, I really envy those who live in whirlpools.

If Yanwo City wants to develop, it needs to find a money exchange to borrow money and have the money exchange of the Fire Kingdom open a branch here, so that investors, small merchants, and even tourists can exchange money.

After the city was completed two years ago, the owner of the city, who was the son of the daimyo of the Land of Whirlpools, knew very well that without the city's unique characteristics, it would be impossible to attract investment. Therefore, he took out large loans for urban renovations and other projects in the past two years.

Now, the money exchange has seen the city's development and has taken the initiative to allocate a branch location to Yanwo City.

—A city without money or value will not have banks.

After the discussion, Uzumaki escorted Fukuyama Sawa out the door, where Konoha guards he had hired were already waiting.

"You're so slow, woman."

"Hmph. Is this how you treat your employer?"

As he watched, the man in the vortex saw two beautiful women staring at each other in the hallway at the main entrance, seemingly at odds. He couldn't help but take out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, thinking to himself, "Why would Miss Sawa hire a Konoha ninja who has a grudge against her for a guard duty..."

Shiranui Yunjian, who was standing nearby, jumped out and said, "Alright, alright. We are the guards, Ryuun, so let's not offend them."

Hinata Suzuka nodded gently.

"Hmph." Yuhi Ryuun thought to herself that if this woman hadn't specifically asked her to come, the village mission slots would have included Shiranui Kumo and Hyuga Suzuka, and they could have also gone to check out the newly built Enpu Castle.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have come.

With two Special Grade Rank 19ists and one Jonin, you can imagine how luxurious the guard lineup was.

Fukuyama Sawa, with one arm around her waist and the other fanning herself, walked down the street, preparing to go to the post station to take her own carriage back to Konoha, when she suddenly saw three children who seemed to have never seen anything new before: Shiranui Kumoko stood on her right, Hyuga Suzuka on her left, and Yuhi Ryuun behind them.

Yahiko held up a handmade windmill that the shop owner had given him as an extra gift since they were strangers to tourists. "Minami, look what this is, a windmill! I've never even heard of one where I'm from—oops. I've never heard of one where I'm from!"

Nagato had just walked out of a convenience store, looking shocked: "There's a convenience store here, and everything is so cheap... unlike the prices in our city."

Xiao Nan noticed that everyone around her was wearing new clothes of good quality, and a hint of envy flashed across her face. Hearing her companion's words, she nodded helplessly: "After all, this is the Land of Fire."

The three removed their headbands, revealing no ninja characteristics; they appeared to be three children around ten years old.

Nagato grew his hair long again and covered it with bangs, obscuring his Rinnegan.

"Children from other countries? Hmph~~" Fukuyama Sawa didn't seem to care and continued walking forward: "Of course, the cities of the Land of Fire are the best. Do you three brats even need to say that?"

The three teenagers' conversation abruptly stopped, startled by the words of Fukuyama Sawa, whose attire and air of wealth made her even more ashamed upon seeing her appearance: she was clearly a rich girl from a wealthy family!

"Hehe... Sorry." Shiranui Yunjian chuckled self-deprecatingly, thinking to himself that he was also poor and needed to earn money to marry Yuko. He then quietly apologized to the three little guys.

The three little guys didn't care and were about to leave when Nagato seemed to notice something and paused for a moment.

But just as they began, Hinata Suzuka and Yuhi Ryuun both stopped in their tracks.

Hinata Suzuka hadn't forgotten the intelligence leak during World War II, and she stared intently at Yahiko and Konan, who were about to leave: "Stop!"

"What's wrong?" Yahiko turned his head in surprise. Immediately afterward, Hinata Suzuka activated her Byakugan, preparing for battle.

"How did the orphans from the Land of Rain get into the city? And how did you manage to cross the border of the Land of Fire and set up defenses? Tell me now!"

As soon as these words came out.

This startled Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan, leaving them frozen in place.

Then, Fukuyama Sawa, the daughter of a Fire Country official, had to stop and look at the three children: "Do these three people have some kind of grudge against you?"

“Shirahoshi once saved one of the children,” Yuhi Ryuun explained. “As for what happened after that, I don’t know much about it.”

"I won't forget it."

Hinata Suzuka's eyes bulged with veins, her Byakugan clearly revealing Nagato's Rinnegan and the considerable amount of chakra within the boy:

"That time."

"You're the ones who betrayed me and Captain Shirahoshi!"

"???" x3

The three boys looked bewildered, exchanged glances, and wondered who they had betrayed! They hadn't done anything like that!

"Betray Shirahoshi?" Fukuyama Sawa's tone was no longer pleasant. Her fingers gripped the fan tightly, turning slightly white, and a dangerous glint flashed in her eyes. The same was true for Yuhi Ryuun behind her, and Shiranui Unmaru couldn't help but show hostility.

"Arrest him. Hand him over to the general... no! Take him back to Konoha for questioning."

Black Zetsu, who had been following closely behind and acting as a babysitter: "..."

I knew it! I knew you were going to get Nagato killed, you bastard!!

Black Zetsu was about to cry.

Konan, Yahiko, and Nagato immediately formed a triangular formation, with Yuhi Ryuun and Hyuga Suzuka preparing to attack, and Shiranui Kumoka protecting Fukuyama Sawa's safety...

"how?"

"Have my men offended you?"

Chapter 109 Shirahoshi: I hate rich people the most!

"how?"

"Have my men offended you?"

A young man's voice came from above the rooftop.

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly looked up.

I see,

A man and a woman, one tall and one short, stood on the roof of the three-story circular building.

The young man wore a cool, light blue robe, his hair was styled in a Japanese-style black ponytail, and he wore a mask with rabbit patterns on his face.

The little girl next to her was wearing a dark green and peach-colored robe and the sheep mask that Bai Xing had used. She also had a candied hawthorn she had just bought and hadn't eaten much of yet.

At this moment, with bloodstains on her Byakugan, Hinata Suzuka's inner alarm bells were ringing.

Her Byakugan couldn't see through their masks, nor could it see the chakra within the young man and woman's bodies: the slime's shallow protective membrane.

The arrival of the other party caused Hinata Suzuka to frown and become wary. The fact that Hinata Suzuka, who had been avoiding eye contact, didn't even react when the other party came over was enough to demonstrate the strength of the man and woman.

Seeing this, Xi Ri Liu Yun said directly, "This is the central city within the Land of Fire. Even the homeless orphans from the Land of Rain usually go to orphanages in border areas or small towns."

Yuhi Ryuun looked at Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan, "So, I want to know what your identities were when you entered the Land of Fire!"

"..."x3

The three of them said they had no idea! They had followed the 'dean' all the way here without encountering a single person, and then they arrived at this city...

"And what are you doing here, you perverted doctor?!"

"Well, it's a bit complicated. We're such good friends already..."

"Who's being nice to you!"

Ignoring the girl's voice, Shirahoshi continued, "We are visiting Flame Vortex City as tourists."

"is it not OK?"

Shirahoshi pulled Guren along, landing in front of the three. Her gaze flashed past her light blue chakra eyes. Shirahoshi deliberately displayed her strength in this visible setting. Hyuga Suzuka clearly saw those light blue eyes:

"Blue eyes?"

What's wrong with your eyes?!

"What blue eyes?" Yuhi Ryuun asked in a low voice to the shocked Hyuga Suzuka. When Hyuga Suzuka heard that Yuhi Ryuun couldn't see, she immediately closed her Byakugan. However, she could only vaguely see ordinary black eyes. She was even more shocked and immediately made a deduction: "Bloodline Limit. The other party has light blue eyes."

"It must be this ability that blocked my Byakugan's X-ray vision."

"Hiss—" x3

At this moment, besides the shocked Yuhi Ryuun and Shiranui Unma, even Fukuyama Sawa couldn't help but gasp.

That's the Byakugan! A bloodline limit unique to the Hyuga clan, capable of seeing through anything!! And now it's being blocked by an unknown bloodline limit?!

Black Zetsu, who was watching the battle: "..."

Blood my ass! That wasn't a bloodline limit at all; it was a membrane that the monster created on its surface using chakra!!

However, Black Zetsu was truly unsure of the abilities of his eyes, secretly recalling whether he had ever possessed such a bloodline limit in the past...

Just as the group was shocked and pedestrians on the street were drawn to the explanation, Shirahoshi offered her clarification:

"This isn't some kind of bloodline limit, you know~ Ms. Hinata Suzuka."

"How...how did you know..."

Before Hinata Suzuka could finish speaking, Shirahoshi continued:

"I know not only you, but also Yuhi Ryuun next to you, Shiranui Kumoka... and this daughter of a Fire Country official—Miss Sawa~"

"Oh?" Fukuyama Sawa heard Shirahoshi mention her name and sounded a little annoyed. But because Shirahoshi had changed her voice and appearance, Fukuyama Sawa really couldn't recognize her. Besides, Shirahoshi didn't want her to find out: after all, Shirahoshi wasn't Obito.

"So what is the purpose of you taking these children with you, and what is the purpose of your organization?"

Hearing that Saya seemed not to recognize his surgeon's code name, Shirahoshi thought to himself, "Didn't he voluntarily leave his name behind last time? Why can't his reputation spread?"

—Naoto, being Madoka's personal bodyguard, knew too much about the Land of Fire, so the daimyo did not agree to hand over the body to Konoha.

"It's nothing. It's just about creating a future world where humans can live in harmony," Bai Xing said lightly.

"Is that so? It's like you're not human." Fukuyama Sawa narrowed her eyes, then looked at the three people beside her: "Speaking of which, you all seem to know him, right?"

"I know him." Shiranui Kumo was also a little angry at this moment. It was this man who caused his good friend Shirahoshi to be cheated on!

Fortunately, now I can finally get my revenge!

"Let's fight outside. Fighting here is taking up too much space." Shiranui Kumo was worried about losing money.

—No compensation. If the city's investigation finds it's you, they'll issue a wanted notice and launch a manhunt in the Gold Souk and Konoha Village, including one with your name on it.
